ONE DUTY: AMERICA GERMAN PAPER SAYS
Others Urge Readers to Remain
 Faithful to Oath

New York, April 4.-In an editorial entitled "Our Entry Into the War" the New Yorker Staats-Zeitung says:
 ''The time for discussing if 1t is right or if it is profitable for the United States. is past. When man like Senator Stone declares: am against a declaration of war, but if it is declared I shall shout for 1t with the rest it characterizes the feeling of the country.
 "In this hour of bitter seriousness we have only one admonition for our readers: Look the situation sQuarely in the face, without deceiving your selves any longer. without allowing yourselves still to be deluded with hopes due to 8 narcotic-like optimism. Reconcile yourselves to the thought that what has seemed inevitable for months cannot be avoided. We can see but one duty as soon as congress has spoken the last word: America"
 After quoting President Wilson's ex- pression of faith in the loyalty of the great mass of German-Americans, the New Yorker Herold said:
 we have sworn allegiance to the country, and an oath must be kept. There can be no hair-splitting about that. The nations will is also the will of the German-Americans. What the national representatives of the people set down as a citizens duty is our duty. too. Even if 1t breaks hearts,
 Cleveland. April 4.-The Waechter und Anzeiger in its issue says:
 "For Americans of German birth it is to be a war of brother against brother and in many cases of son against father, a war against the sweet memories of childhood -and friendship. Days of untold sorrows and bitterness are in store for us. ter rible days of conflict between duty toward our country and natural sym pathy for the land of our fathers. There cannot be any question as to which of the two, duty or sympathy. will prevail. For perfidy is not 8 German trait. and if 1t should break our hearts America shall not find us wanting"
 Denver, Colo. April 4.-The Colo rado Herold says:
 Should the command at last be is- sued to follow the music of the boisterous drum and the silvery voice of the heroic bugle in defense of our country. in that hour American cit izens of German birth would not be found wanting-they would make the same valorous showing in behalf of their adopted country that they have on every American battlefield since the republic was born.''

HOW A SHAKESPEARE OR MOSES.

The Sioux Falls ArgusLeader seems to be somewhat skepucaI about
the good that is going to follow the adoption of a system for the control of.
eugenics, sex hygiene and a lot of the other lateday fads that are skirmish
ing from ocean to ocean. The fonowng is a paragraph from a recent edit

"As for this paper, it believes that the Whole subject of sex
hygiene, of eugenics, of physical examinations a a preliminary to
marriage, of vampire pictures at the movies and sex problems in
novels and plays has been and is being woefuly overdone. 1t is
declared that these things are necessary for the proper safeguard
ing of the race and the wonder is that any decent people were ever
grown under the old system where the mother and father discussed
such problems with their children at the proper time and in the
proper way. 1t may be all right for a young woman o discuss sex
problems in a mixed company with NJ more embarrassment than
she would talk of the hight cost of living, but someway We feel that
there would be just as much purity and just as much real knowledge
and that the = would be quite as safe, without it,"

But all the same. there re a few oldfashioned people TO keep him
company and to wonder how the world, in the absence of all this knowledge
about eugenics, could ever have produced a Lincoln, or a Gladstone, or a
Washington or a bakespeare ~ /, pacoo ~ a Milton or Caesar o.

OF course, the world should progress, it is true, and it does progress;
knowledge concerning living and the manner of living is increasing, as it
should increase, and the world is presumably growing better and better
and lore and more civilized.
But We should be careful to see that we don't lie fads nd fancies
supersede common sense; that we have really found a e step worth taking
before we take it, and that in or progressing we don't progress backwards.
Until acknowledged and accepted authorities reach a substantial agree
ment. or until the public itself, based upon it's experience, is prepared to
say that a given step should be taken, it is doubtful whether it is wise to
rush in where angels fear to tread.
Let us hope that we won't have to fight. Firstly, Uncle Sam hasn't
had to fight anybody across the seas since 1912; secondly, it doesn't pay to
fight; thirdly, if we happen to get into a fight we couldn't stop until we had
won.

GET SEED POTATOES
NOW FOR THIS SEASON

Get your seed potatoes now"

problem of securing good tubers for
planting next season is likely to be
one of the most serious that has con-
fronted the state in many years. 1T
is an open question" says DR.. Hume,
whether South Dakota possesses a
sufficient amount of tubers for seed
or not. Whatever the quantity may
prove TO be at present either in the
grawers' hands OF elsewhere, the fact
remains that the price of potatoes
before the coming crop is harvested
will be out of sight"
DR.. Hume states that every avail
able source of seed should be drawn
upon with the utmost economy and
offers the following suggestions with
that in view:
If on account of the scarcity of po-
tatoes it becomes necessary to utilize
culls for planting, every potato grow
er should keep in mind the years to
come by growing a special breeding
plot from select seed. No great harm
is likely to result in planting culls in
fields where the crop is to be har-
vested strictly for market purpose. In

STATE ACCREDITED HERDS
FAVORED BY DAlRYMEn

The establishment of state accredit-
ed herds or herds that are certified to
be free from tuberculosis would pro-
mote the eradication of the disease
among animals raised in the state
and would promote confidence in the
healthfulness in the dairy herds of
was explained by DR.. J. T. Dinwoodie
of the State College extension divis-
ion before the recent state livestock
association as follows:
The law should provide for the COM
%pensation or indemnity to owners of
condemned stock based upon its ac-
tual value, and sufficient yeterinar-
ians should be employed by the live
stock sanitary board to apply tuber-
culin test free and to advise owners in
methods pertaining to disinfection and
cleanup.
Important points ii such a law from
the standpoint of herd are as
follows:
When a herd is declared free from
tuberculosis, it is registered by the
state and certificates of immunity is
sued to the owner. These certificates
are recognized by other states, there
fore, q certified animal may be ship
ped interstate at any time, thus avoid
ing loss of time, uncertainty and fin
ancial expense required by having tu-
berculin test applied Immediately he
fore shipping. Such a law would pro-
mote standard methods and practices
on livestock farms since the animals
would be tested regularly at a time
most convenient to the owner and.
least harmful to the animal. This.
would be far superior to the hit-and-
miss method Of testing whenever an
animal is sold. The advertising value
and prestige of owning livestock in
a tubercular free state would be of
enormous value.
