The German government hzSvIrtT1al-
The German governme has virtual
II admitted more than once that
she has broken pledges, re-
perS," and outraged PRINCIPLES Of
international law, but has en-
deavored TO excuse herself before the
world with the plea that because OF
her desperate StraitS-becauSe Of the
fact that she was fighting for her ex-
istenee-she was forced 10 adopt the
measures she has.
In adopting the ruthless submarine
! policy, Germany has stated to the
world that she was resOrtIng to her
last great weapon, that she was stalk
ing all IN q desperate effort 70 win
But the question Is, who IS II that
IS stalking all and who is so desperate
TO wins 1t the common people OF

the common people fighting for their
existence2 Are they IN danger Of
being enslaved by the Allies2 Not

Advertise Your Farm Products

Manhattan. Kansas, April 1S.-Mr-
Farmer, make the city man demand
your particular brand OF products
One Of the best ways OF doing this Is
10 advertise judiciously, In the opln-
ion Of H ". Davis, associate PROBES
sor of English IN the Kansas State
Agricultural College
THE first steps farmer should take
n advertising are TO standardize the
products and name of the farm" said
Professor Davis. "a short attractive
name suggestive OF the location Of
the farm or representing the products
raised, IS quickly and easily remem-
bered by the consumer
Fresh peas, string beans, potatoes,
butter, eggs, and all other produce
should be standardized and put up
in cartoons for market These car
! toons should have the farm name and
location of the farm printed on them
If the consumer is pleased with the
goods he VIII know where TO get them
! again Without some mark of identi-
ication on his products the farmer
cannot create a steady demand for
his goods"
Printed stationery with the farm
name at the head, IS q great aid IN
advertising, believes Professor Davis.
The consumer receiving such station
| cry gets the impression that the farm
/ IS a big, reliable business concern
| He Is anxious to patrOnize an enter
prising farmer.
Bulletin boards can be made use of
IN advertising products If the farm
is on q well travelled road. Passers
by VIII stop to get fresh country milk
and eggs. Attractive bulletin boards,
and listing products for sale, together
with the prices, will build up an au-
/ tOmobile trade for the farmer This
! saves him the expense Of hauling
his goods TO the market
IF the farmer Is near a market OF
considerable size, he may establish Z
delivery route in the city. Adver-
| Using by sales letters Is especially eff
fective since the farmer can reach
| the moneyed class of people in this
way. A desirable mailing list car
be obtained by getting a list of the
heaviest tax payers from the city
clerk.
1.-The big thing in advertising farm
products" said Professor Davis, ''E
to get a mark of distinction on the
! goods sold. This VIII let the consumer
know where the products come from
and where he can get them again"

to high priced feeds.
every silo filed last fall in Kan
sas paid for itself IN one season, and
the chances are that similar results
may be obtained by those who build
silos this year. said A. S. Neale,
specialist IN dairying, division of eX-
tension, Kansas State Agricultural
College.

Manhattan, Kansas, April 20 Let
the army of children between the
ages OF ten and eighteen years grow
garden produce for immediate use,
and can the surplus for future con-
sumption and much viii be done to-
ward solving the food problem IN
this country Under proper direction
additional foodstuffs valued at more
than S400,000,000 could be produced,
according to Edward G. Johnson,
dean of the division of the extension,
Kansas State Agricultural College.
Ordinarily children have nothing
special to do" said Dean Johnson
Even on the farm there are many OF
them whose efforts, If well directed,
could be made more effective and
worth while from an economic stand
point, and all this without the so
called child labor where children are
employed in heavy work from early
morning until late at night.
These children can be of great use
in the farm home, on the farm, IN
the village home, and in the village
garden. IF only portion of this ar
my were put to work producing table
products the results would be aston
ishing"
In the GIenwood community IN Lea
wentworth county, a typical farm COM
munity, pointed out Dean johnson,
there is a canning club which has as
one of its principal objects the grow
ing of the gaden produce and the
canningr of the surplus for home use
| during winter months. This club
consists Of thirty mother daughter
! teams. During the season of 1916,
| the club grew in thhe gaden and can
ned more than eleven thousand quarts
| of garden and orchard products IN
addition to the products used on the
| table during the summer gardening
season. This was at the rate of 336
2-3 quarts for each team.
If only one-half of the 10,755, 79C

of less than $500 and in the open
country at the time of the 1910 cen
sus did as we'll they would produce
and put up for winter use 1871, SOL
| 500 quarts, which If valued at ffteeT
cents per quart low estimate would
be worth S295,714, 225- This would
supply one-half of the rural families
| in the United States with one quar-
of food products per day for ever
| day IN the year, and thus would re
| lease an equally large quantity Of
LOtheE products more easily transport
able, for use in the army or the labor
| ing families IN the city.

Colonel RooseveIt's OHer

The United States has, at this time
need of all, of its resources, using the
term IN its most comprehensive sense
Nothing should be allowed to go TO
waste. Especially needful are the re-
sources in men of character, qualified
by intelligence, experience and ener-
gy for leadership. Some one has re-
Gently said that President Wilson
could hardly do q wiser thing than to
summon to his aid in this crisis men
of dictinction IN all parties, headed
by the two former presidents At
any rate all lines of partnership should
be wiped out, temporarily, at least
all personal prejudices should be OBJ
liberated; 1t is only the Nation and
the cause in which it is enlisted that
must be considered now. Should the
President issue such summons, the re-
Spouse would, without doubt, be
prompt and hearty.
Some who, politically speaking,
have been as far from the President
as the North Pole is from the South,
have not waited for an invitation, but,
impelled by patriotic fervor, have an
ticipated it. Colonel Theodore RoOse-
welt is one of these. He offers to
raise and lead division of volunteers
for oversee service. No person in
formed with regard TO his popularity
and influence viii question his ability
to raise as well as to command such q
force. IF given the authorization and
the commission necessary, volunteers
would come streaming toward his
headquarters from every point of the
compass. His division could not hold
them all.
Why should he not be so authorized
and commissioned? Who could be
/ better entitled to head the first expe-
dition to France, or perhaps to Bel
gium or Germany, than one who has
held the rank of Commander-in-chief
of the Army and Navy of the United
/ States? Whose example IN person
and following would do more toward
arousing popular enthusiasm and
stimulating enlistment?
There is reason to believe that the
! President looks with favor upon z
measure which, IF enacted by Con
gress, vii grant Colonel Roosevelt the
privilege he seeks and insure to the
/ Nation the service it needs Not
alone m raising and leading a divi-
sion, but in arousing a sentiment

The Miracle Worker

Aladdin rubbed his lamp, but the
modern man touches a button Thanks
to electricity the commonplace hap
penings of every day are more mar
velous than anything the hero of the
Arabian Nights ever did.
Electricity carries our messages,
turns the wheels of industry, and as
well, turns night into day. 1t has
revolutionized farming and emanci-
pated woman from household slavery.
It has been the keystone of modern
medical experimentation and research.
With its aid the pain and suffering of
mankind have been relieved
In the pursuits of peace it is mans
ally, but when the evil genius of War
appears it becomes a bFothes to Mars.
Without it no areoplane flies and
no automobile runs On land 1t Is
supreme, and on the high seas its
mysterious power lend eyes and ears
to the mariner in the blacklist night.
1t makes the world only a neighbor-
hood.
Stop the flow of this mysterious
fluid and you plunge into darkness,
check transportation, put an embargo
on commerce and set everything back
a century into the days of the stage
coach and the packetboat.
Light, heat and power are q trinity
that constitute the monarch of force.
Each by itself is a wonderful gift of
God to man, but electricity, combin-
ing the three, is the servant of hui
manity in a thousand ways. Research
though extensive, is still IN its in
fancy.
Our greatest scientist, skilled IN
the myteries of this awe-spiring phen-
amenon, predict that coming genera
tions will witness electric marvePs
that have not yet entered the dreams
of mankind.=Leslie's

Where the Future of Prosperity Lie.


Hardly z day passes without the
addition OF new articles either 70 tbs
prohibited import list or the embargo
list of Great Britain. The latest adj
ditions TO the British embargo list
include binder Irvine, castings, raw
cotton, anvils, furs and great many
other items
While the market of Germany has
been closed by the blockade, other
belligerents are gradually building q
wall around their own markets.
Meanwhile, seventy-one per cent: Of
al imports are entering the United
States free Of duty. This market Is
open, while foreign markets are eth
er closed or closing
To a great extent Great Britain has
turned toward Protective Tariff, but
for military purposes she has gone
further than that and has actually
prohibited more importations- Advo-
Gates of Free-Trade or low Tariffs
have invariably argued that this coun-
try cannot expect a larger share Of
foreign markets unless 1t buys q
greater volume Of goods from for
eign nations. Who will say, however,
that the war exports from the United
States would have been smaller In
volume Il the American market had
been protected adequately by q Tar
If? What has been purchased from
the United States during the course
Of the war was due TO necessity and
not to any favoritism or desire for ex-
change OF courtesy.
As soon as the necessity disappears
this enormous export trade will dImin-
ISL. In normal times the export trade
was almost an insignificant fraction
of the total domestic business. When
