Urges Nation to Support President,
fFrom the Baltimore Arnerican.l

lue bdAlIliOAO HlhlSAASthAk'I
 The United States will not abandon its rights on the see or abandon it's carefulness for the rights and lives of it's citizens because Germany chooses to go rabid and make indiscriminate warfare upon mankind. The mailed fist cannot be shaken in the face of Uncle Sam with impunity because Germany goes hungry. " " The nation needs to be calm, but earnest, and to support the president. And he may be counted upon to make explicit the firm stand of the nation for its in- alienable and unassailable rights. Such is the issue that points to breach that may not, however, be more, than yer bally threatening. It is the kaiser, not the reichstag, talking.

Must Await British Preparations.

Must Await British Preparations. From the Lincoln CNeb) State Journal.] ]
 It will be well to read the latest German note in the light of English preparations. On its face the notice given of the coming of unrestricted submarine warfare means a clash with the United States. Y" The only hope ful phase of the situation is the possi- bility that Great Britain is preparing to transform all of her merchantmen into virtual warships and intends to make an offensive as well as a defen- slve warfare upon all enemy subma- rines.

saxs We Must Wait Until Hurt.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.l
 Looked at in practical way, and it should be remembered that none of the belligerents has respected the provi- sions of international law, Germany is simply cutting loose from all re straints and proceeding on the princi- pie that all is fair in warfare and that is best which makes for victory.

FISH EMBEDDED IN ICE.
Curious Effect of Severe Cold Reported
 In Missouri.

Jefferson City, Mo.-A curious effect of the terrific blizzard that recently struck this section of central Missouri was reported by Jefferson City people who had been skating on the Moreau river.
 The blizzard was sudden and sent the mercury from well up in the sixties to 14 degrees below zero within fifteen hours.
 Skaters on this stream said there were hundreds of fish of all kinds and sizes frozen and plainly visible. The largest observed was a German carp more than two feet in length.

From the New York American.l

From the New York American.l
 It is time to walk warily, to decide coolly, to be very sure of each step and very confident of each decision. And certainly we must assure the president that, whatever the issue, may be, the nation Is Loyalty behind him We are profoundly hopeful that our own peace can be maintained and that MT. Wilson will find a way to do so with honor. But if 1t is to be his lot to find no oth- CT way to walk in honor except with the sword in hand, which God forbid, then we will all walk Loyalty in that way with him.
 But we refuse to believe that such a destiny is marked out for us until the last resources of diplomacy and of peaceful persuasion have been eI- hauSted.

he is limited in his credit and he finds
it hard to obtain sufficient labor. The
best way to increase the production
OF corn and other food crops, as well
as cotton, is to cultivate thoroughly
and often and make side applications
of fertilizers. II the farmer hasn't the
money to hire labor, under present con-
ditions, 1t will pay him to borrow
money on his crop to pay sufficient
labor TO cultivate and fertiliZe his
crops adequately. After each rain a
dust mulch should be made with the
cultivator. We need not expect a
