has been opposed by the navy depart
ment, however, principally for strategic
reasons
Another step suggested is that the ship
ping board take over American merchant
men, arm them as naval auxiliar.es and
send them abroad.
The President has been inclined to be-
lieve that certain old statutes still in
force might prevent him from furnishing
guns to merchantmen, but some of his ad-
visers hold that a broader and truer in
depreciation of these laws will show that
they have no application to the present
situation.

Remain True to Principles

And yet we are not the less Ameri-
cans on that account. We shall be that
more American if we but remain true
10 the principles in which we have
been bred. They are not the principles
or a province or of single continent.
We have known and boasted all along
that they were the principles of lib
Grated mankind. These. therefore, are
the things We shall stand for, whether
in war or in peace.
That all nations are equally inter-
ested in the peace of the world and in
the. political stability of free peoples,
and equally responsible for their main
tenance;
That the essential principle of peace
Is the actual equality of nations in all
matters of right or privilege;
That peace cannot securely or just
~ rest upon an armed balance of pow
Cr:
That governments derive all their
Just powers from the consent of the
governed and that no other powers
should be supported by the common
thought. purpose or power of the FAM
lily Of nations.
That the seas should be equally'free
and safe for the use of all peoples I'M
der rules set up by common agree
ment and consent and that so far as
practicable. they should be accessible
To all upon equal terms;
That national ornaments should be
limited TO the necessities of national
order and domestic safety:
That the community of interest and

henceforth depend imposes upon each
nation the duty of seeing to it that all

Father Love.

The love between fathers and sons has never been given the conspicuous place that is given to boys and their mothers. Is that because it is more elusive than mother love?-for it Is hardly less profound or beautiful. Sel- dom do hints of this beauty come to the surface in writing. But here is q single sentence from letter written by Oliver Wendell Holmes, on his eightieth birthday, at the homecoming of his boy-'his honor, Judge Holmes of the supreme court of Massachu' setts, just arrived from Europe:" II look up to him as my magistrate, and he knows me as his father, but my arms are around his neck and his mus tache Is sweeping my cheek-I feel young again at fourscore."--Collier's Weekly.

KEEP SEED FROM WEEvlLs.

Farmers who have saved seed sub- ject to weevil attacks should be sure to keep them free from these pests. To control these, Professor Geo. q. Becker of the University of Arkansas recommends the use of one part by weight of air. slaked lime to two parts by weight of the grain or seed. The seed must be kept in the lime from the time it is stored until ready to plant.
 Carbon 6isulphide.-Those who pre- fer to do so may use carbon bisulphide instead of the air slaked lime. To use the carbon bisulphide, fill an air tight barrel (50 gallons capacity) to within about four inches of the top with the grain to be treated. Then pour over the top of the grain about one-half cup of carbon bisulphide and cover at once with a heavy canvas to hold the fumes in place. Allow the cover to remain on for about A hours, then re. move. Where only small quantities of seed are to be treated, use one tea. spoonful to each gallon of grain or one-fourth teaspoonful to each ouart of grain. All Immigration should be done when the temperature is about 70 degrees F. The fumes of the solu tion are very inflammable, so do not have fire, such as lighted lamp, lan- tern, pipe, etc, around.

The Roman Calendar.

The Romans had the most difficult style of calendar. for they had fixed epochs, namely, the Calends, on the first of the monti: the Nonas, about the 9th of the month, and the Ides, which were the middle of the month. Instead. however, of counting forward from these periods, they counted backward. so that, for instance, the 18th of the month would be three days before the Ides, and so on, which made calcula- tions of calendars and alInanacs diffi- cult, since the Nones and 1des varied according to the month, the Nones be- ing always the ninth day before the IdeS.
