BEAUTIFUL SERVICE
FOR DEPARTED CITIZEN
George L. Knapp Buried With Many
Expressions of Love and
Respect

4 -
i Funeral services in honor of George
L. Knapp were held from the Baptist
church Wednesday at 1890 p. M and
interment was made in the Moscow
cemetery, M. H. wager, his pastor
officiating at the funeral. Music was
furnished by Mrs. wager at the piano
and Misses Myrtle TripIet and Edna
Schedin voices. The selection were
beautifully rendered and appropriate
and the floral offering was beautiful
and in accord with the life in whose
honor they were given.
| George Leonard Knapp was born in
| Westmoreland, Oneida county, New
York, March 7, 1856. He was the sec
ond of five children of Leonard and
Mary Willie Knapp. When he was
one year old his parents moved to
Elkhorn, Walworth county, Wisconsin.
where he grew to manhood and be-
came a farmer In November of 1895
he was married to Miss Eunice Will
Jams of Elkhorn, Wis, where they
made their home until October of
1909 when they moved to MOSCOW.
In 1904 Mr.. Knapp underwent
critical operation in a Delevan hos
pital, from which he never fully re-
covered, this being the greatest dis
appointment of his declining years,
that his physical health was SO inn
paired that he could not apply him
self to work, as he had formerly done,
without serious injury to himself.
He spent much time in reading and
watching the scientific development
and research of his day, in which he
took great delight.
When a young man, he accepted
Christ and became member OF the
Baptist church of Elkhorn, Wis, and
on moving to Moscow, became mem
Der of the local Baptist church. He
was a faithful attendant at all OF its
services, and generous in all good
causes. In the days of personal ap-
peals for missions. he always re-
sponded and later became weekly
contributor to the Gospel to 1.-The ends
of the earth"
Mr. Knapp was man OF sterling
character and above repreach. Ten (
der and loving to wife and children |
and faithful as time itself to friends.
He believed all man to be as honest
as he himself was and never turned
away from one in need when it was
in his power to help. He lived the
constant everyday life of service and
strove to exemplify the Master.
In January of the present year he
became more poorly which afflication
soon brought him to his bed from
which he never recovered, passing
away in the early morning of June
!, 1917.
He leaves to mourn his loss, his
wife, daughter, Olive, and son,
Russell Manly. Ruth, his oldest
laughter, was laid to rest, after much

Patriotic Farmers

There has been a disposition in some quarters
to criticise the farmers Of the northwest for an
alleged lack OF patriotism in that they unwill
ing to accord their full support to the through
the medium of food conservation and production.
II has been openly charged that these farmers have
been holding back wheat and generally resisting
the food administration because the price fixed by
the government for wheat was less than expected.
Replying to these allegations Wednesday, A. G.
Townley president of the National Non-Partisan
League, said that the farmers and wage-earners
are willing to and ready to support any law that
makes for the success of this for liberty and
democracy"
The farmer of the northwest is like his brother
of the South or any other section of this great COM
monwealth, ready and willing to make any sacrifice
that might be demanded OF him as American cit
izen. He has done many times before this war
and he will continue to do It after 1t is ended
Incidentally yet very pertinent part Of his
reply to those who have criticised the big planters
of the northwest Mr.. Townley said:
The farmers patriotism is big enough to
make up for the war profter's lack of patriot
ism and manhood, and, IL necessary, the
farmer will go on producing food for less than
cost and even with profit vultures clutching
at hts throat he will feed the world and its
armies of freedom to make the victory
Mr.. Townley has very happily phrased the
timent that dominates every farmer in the South,
for upon him absolutely depends democracy's sue
failure and there will be none of the latter

THE TREATY OF PEACE
By DR.. Frank Crane

BY DR.. Frank Crane
TDWARD A. FILENE, a Boston merchant, has
X. presented to the American Academy of Po-
litical and Social Science a valuable paper
in which he points out the need of having repre-
sented in the council which shall draw up the
treaty of peace for this a suitable number OF
persons who represent the masses and the bust
ness interests of the various countries involved.
Usually treaties arranged by diplomats,
whose aims are purely political and often dynastic
They play their obscure and devious game of polit-
zeal chess, and the people have to abide by their
conclusions
But the time is past when any set Of politicians
however able, with safety be given blank
check which the myriad popuace is to I'll out with
money and blood.
The men who make the coming treaty must
have in mind the welfare of the people, and not
alone the advantage of this that nation. Direct
representatives of labor OF business and OF agri-
culture should have their say.
For, Fernand Engerand said in the Echo de
Paris, "the peace that Will conclude this unparael
ed war will be the greatest event in history. A
long, very long peace must be it's main object
The problem to be solved is nothing less than to
rebuild Europe-for to have good peace it will be
necessary to have a good Europe"
He might have said "a good world" And to
have a good world, one in which frightfu q
calamity this Teutonic outbreak cannot posi-
bly, occur It Is absolutely necessary to prevent by
the combined power of mankind, any one nation
from creating such military force can threaten
the peace of the earth.
1t is the programme of militarism, in which
every nation except America more or less
tangled that is the danger to civilization. The
path to glory or any prospect OF it, for any
nation by means Of its armed forces. must be for
ever closed. The world will be delivered
for instance from the fear of the German military
machine until it is reduced to such small proper
tions that It ceases to be.a possible menace.
It is going to be hard for triumphant France
England, and Italy to dsband the forces that have
won them glory, but that is precisely what must
be done.
War is an anarchronism. It has no proper
place in modern life. Nations expand and races
excel in other And unless the treaty Of
that concludes this struggle provides in practical
way some form of world agreement world gov
eminent which shall put end forever to the
possibility of unit of national egotism attack
ing the rest of the world in a medieval dream Of
conquest it will be useless.
There Is something worse than Prussian mil
itarism It is that idea Of militaristic pre-emi-
nence that still fingers from the bloody past to
curse all nations.
BY all means let us insist that the treaty OF
peace shall be drafted by the representatives OF
the people, and not by diplomats only.

Better Than Cotton.

The Thomasville Times-Enterprise tells in
teresting story of farmer in its county who
planted no cotton this year. When asked why he
eliminated what previously had been his principal
crop and how his cash income Jared IN consequence
the farmer replied:
'T didn't plant cotton because 1t might not
have made anything, and 1 would have been
heavy loser. I brought twenty head of hogs
to town this week, and they brought me three
hundred and sixty dollars. That's what have
instead OF cotton, with other things proper
tionately valuable"
This wise planter not only escaped the hazards of
the boil weevil which he truly says might
have proved ruinous, but he also assured himself
an income that will be steady and enriching almost
the year around. That is one OF the pronounced
advantages of diversified agriculture in contrast
with the one-crop system. The former is yielding
more or less substantial return from earliest spring
to latest autumn. and into the bare bleakness
OF winter. II one crop is failure or disappoint-
ment others soon spring up to fill the gap. Come
what may the farmer who goes in for food products
and diversncation is always of living without
having to strain his credit; and II he is a good
manager, he can get along almost entirely without
credit except for large improvements or expan-
sions in hts farm The Thomas coanty planter
whom the Times-Enterprise deservedly commends
has demonstrated a principle which, when put
widely into practice. will give Georgia millions of
new wealth and adamantine independence.

Our Aviation Industry.

A peculiarly significant development of our
industry is the rapid increase of aviation plants.
Two years ago in the entire United States there
were only sixteen establishments for the manufac-
ture of airplanes; they employed average of one
hundred and sixty-eight wage earners and had
total capitalization of about four hundred thousand
dollars. Today upwards of fifteen thousand men
are employed in this industry its capital invest
ment amounts to approximately forty million dol
lars; and its output of planes numbers two hundred
a week. For the month Of August alone airplane
companies representing more than five millions OF
investment chartered, and they are contin-
ualy increasing Congress has appropriated six hum
bred and forty million dollars for the construction
of aircraft and the establishment of aviation train
ing camps. The 1917 program for which this ap-
preparation provides calls for the construction OF
twenty-five thousand machines Twice that num-
mer are planned for 1918. The impetus thus given
aviation will not with the 1t is certain,
for one thing, that the United States never again
will be caught without adequate air fleet There
is good reason to expect, moreover that the air
ship will play a steadily increasing part a
hicle of communication and means of sport.

Georgia'S Food Crop NJ arketS.

In making the interesting announcement that
Columbus is preparing to provide ample market
facilities for the diversified crops of the Chatta-
hoochee Valley, the Ledger truly observes that de-
pendable cash markets for grain, forage and all
kinds of foodstufs are one OF the peculiarly urgent
needs OF the time.
"Of course" it continues in its account of
conditions in Columbus, I'VE have many
dealers who buy these items but the farmers
don't have the time to hunt them up. nor have
they the assurance before they plant that
ready cash awaits such products The fact
that a big concern will begin business here
shortly to provide such a market is needed
by the farmers is gratifying, for it means
much to the producer and it will ultimately
aid the consumer in that it will mean the
production OF larger food crops and a fresh
and cheaper supply for the people"
Lack of adequate market facilities has been
the gravest barrier to the progress of diversified
agriculture in Georgia. Farmers chung to the all
cotton system for the very largely that
cotton could be marketed easily, while the task
of selling food crops was difficult and hazardous
In recent years however, notably since the begin
ming of the war, there has been marked improve
ment in these conditions. Organizations like the
State Chamber Of Commerce and numbers of local
boards of trade have worked earnestly the food
market problem, and with substantial results. The
establishment of the State Market Bureau was
particularly helpful STEP Thanks to the effective
enorts of the Bureau, Georgia products are finding
a greatly widened demand both at home and
abroad. Much remains to be done however, be-
fore Georgias facilities for marketing food crops
will be altogether adequate There is room and
need for scores and hundreds of such enterprises
as the Columbus Ledger describes.

Just the contrary. he has waxed continually more

he has fought virtually every measure of legtsla-

WORSE THAN COPPERHEADS.
(Valdosta Times.)

The Literary Digest quotes many newspapers
in all sections of the country denouncing the
"Copperheads'' and demanding that something be
done to check them by filing them with wholesome
fear. This alarm has not been sounded without
good reason, and way ought to be found to deal
effectively with persons of foreign sympathies,

influence who are attempting to spread sedition
and embarrass the government in the conduct of

traitors in the technical sense, fitting ought

The "Copperheads' of 1875 opposed our in

In like manner the spiritualist urges that there

The two dimensional world we have been de-
