There is no doubt in my mind but
that diversity of opinion will always
prevail among men as far as the af-
fairs of nations are concerned, for the
mind of man has not yet reached a
state of uniformity in matters of this
kind. Hence, it seems to me the pre-
rogative of every free American cit
izen to ask himself the question at this
moment: Will war with European
nations be benefit to humanity"
1t matters not what our individual
ideas may be in this trying time; it
matters not whether America is going
to reap a rich after harvest; but the
only real point Of vital interest is
this: Believing as We do in equal
rights of all peoples, will our enter
ing the strife on the side of the Allies
help to establish the true principles of
democracy, for which our fathers sac
rifced so much.
Our national life is so intricately
interviewer with Germany, that /
tremble at the very thought of the
carnage now seemingly unavoidable.
America has always been the envy
and admiration of the world, because
she was looked upon as the advance
agent Of the coming era of universal
peace. Are we now to relinquish our
claim to this title? God forbid. Let
the prayers of Americas patriots as
cend to the Divine Father of all, that
in some way the sword may not be
drawn from it's scabbord, to invade
land across the sea.
AS before our vision looms the phan-
tom of long cruel war, we must face
the difficulties as men who believe that
the great cause Of humanity will reap
the benefit. If this is clearly settled
in our minds, we'll and good; forth to
the fray; otherwise, our children win
denounce US as mercenaries Of the
deepest dye.
Do not misunderstood me: II my
country, whose flag is sacred to me,
should be drawn into a war needful
to protect our shores, our national hon
or or constitutional liberties; should
an enemy assail or threaten our fam
lily life, our fireside, / shall be one Of
the first to come To the front, with the
assurance that my all is on the altar
Of patriotic devotion. But if asked

RAISE MORE HOGS
FOR MEAT AND MONEY

No branch Of livestock farming is
more roductive Of satisfactory results
than the raising of well-bred swine, if
conducted with reasonable care, ac-
cording to the specialists Of the
Bureau of Animal Husbandry United
States Department of Agriculture.
Hogs fit into the modern scheme OF
farming on nearly every farm, and
are one of the most important animals
to raise both for meat and for money.
They require less labor, less equip
ment, and less capital, make greater
gains per hundred pounds Of concen-
trated feed, reproduce themselves fast
er and in greater numbers, and give
quicker turnover" of money than any
other animal except poultry. Farm
ers of the South and West particularly
have awakened to the merits Of the
hog and are rapidly increasing their
output Of pork and their bank ac-
counts. s
The hog has no rival as a. consumer
Of by-products and numerous unmar-
ketable materials which but for him
might be wasted. Kitchen refuse, not
only from farms but also from hotels
and restaurants, when cooked before
being used makes an excellent feed.
The value of skim milk as hog
feed is known on every farm, though
not always fully appreciated. In the
neighborhood of many large dairies
pork production is a very prominent
and lucrative supplement to the dairy
industry.
To prevent tuberculosis, all milk and
milk products should be cooked before
being fed to hogs. To control hog
cholera, use sanitary precautions and
anti-hog-cholera serum treatment.
Give your hog every chance to be-,
come meat NJ
The hog is also large factor in
cheapening the production of beef.
Hogs are placed in the cattle feed lots
to utilize the corn and other feeds the
cattle have failed to digest and which
otherwise would be wasted. Hogs fol-
lowing steers in many cases have in
creased the profit per steer by from
Sc to SO. Hogs should not be allowed
to follow dairy cattle unless the cat
tie are tuberculin tested.

REAsONs For CULTIVATION

One of the essentials to success in
gardening is thorough cultivation, ac-
cording to r. B. Cruickshank Of the
College Of Agriculture. Cultivation
breaks up surface crusts and pulver-
ICES the soil, making a dust mulch
which decreases evaporation. It de-
stroys weeds which sap the soil Of its
moisture and steal plant food from
the vegetable crops. It aerates the
soil. This is an important point often
overlooked. Air is necessary to the
plant roots and assists in the chemical
and bacterial developments in the
soil that are essential to plant life and
growth. All this means that cultiva-
tion tools must be kept going in the
garden, as soon as the plants are
above the ground and every few days
throughout the season until the proper
maturity of the crop is assured The
wheel hoe enables the gardener to do
a large amount Of cultivation easily
and quickly. The hand hoe and gar
den rake are also useful tools.

searchable by common mortal. Are
We going to uphold his hands?
am aware of the fearful response
bility resting upon any one who ven
lures to write for public censure ar
ticles bearing upon the great crisis OF
the world. Still, as long as our con-
stitutional rights are not revoked, we
dare to speak freely and openly about
the things that concern America. We
are ndwiat war with Germany, Aus
tria-Hungary and her allies; our ships
hav@ ibeeDGdestroyed upon the high
seas;uouro citizens have been ruthlessly
assassinated while engaged in lawful
pursuits. In return our merchantmen
have been converted into auxiliary
cruisers, armed with the very best
guns, manned by picked men from the
ranks of the navy. If reports are
true, some of our enemies submarines
have been sent to the bottom of the
sea by these American ships. Am
erica is strictly within her rights
when she defends her merchant marine
in lawful commerce. Thus far no
blame rests upon US.
But now a commission from the en-
tente powers has come to our land,
asking US to equip an army, not
needed for home defense, but for the
avowed purpose OF entering the
trenches of European battlefelds. The
thing not clear to my mind is this: If
the success Of our common cause de-
pends upon our sacrificing of Am
erica's best youth upon European
battlefelds, would it not be the best
way out of the dilemma to send an
army Of volunteer soldiers, under the
leadership Of trained men? Colonel
Roosevelt of Spanish American war
fame stands ready to raise an army
Of this kind, and I doubt not his abil-
ity as an organizer, or as leader;
while congress is wasting precious
time in arguing, the volunteer army
mightbe solving the question for US.
If the war lasts another year, we
will have to defend our shores from
the assaults Of German submarines.
If the sending to Europe at this time
means the speedy ending of the dread
full carnage. why delay?
They tell us we are facing the
greatest crisis Of our nations exist
ence. What are we doing to bring
glory to our banners and peace to all
the world? I am firm believer In
destiny, and thus ] am persuaded that
the hand Of the German despot will be
stayed in due season, praying at the
same time that this may be accom-
plished without shedding Of American
blood upon European battlefelds. Il

TULIPS

In a well-dralned sunny bed tulip
bulbs will live and increase from year

become too much crowded to thrive

Tulips increase by bulbfets which
issue from the side Of the larger bulbs.

inches or more beneath the soil. The

TECHNICALLY OF THE LAW

Failure of the state to get GER
tain letters before the jury was
probably responsible more than any
other one thing for the outcome.
Up to the time those letters were
offered it was the word of three
negro witnesses against that of
Ingram. Those letters would have
corroborated the negroes if Ingram
wrote them. He denied their
authorship and that ended it. The
State could not introduce them.
and the State was without means
to make them competent.
