Chinese Here Aces AGO.

AS to the presence Of Chinese in this
country many thousands of years ago
there is no doubt in the minds of in

with Chinese characteristics are so
common as to admit of no doubt in
this connection. Ancient Chinese char
acters too have been found carved or
impressed upon prehistoric objects

"Not much of a place! You don't
seem to have any murder spots" said
jocular member Of party of tour
lists to native guide. I'm the last
village we stopped at. now, they
showed us place where man had
lain in wait for his sweetheart and her
four sisters, and murdered them one
after another with fendish gusto."
The guide had really never heard Of
this remarkable crime, but his profess
sional jealousy was aroused. "That
is quite true, sir" he unblushingly
bore witness; "but you, perhaps, are
not aware that the murderer after
wards made his escape in this direc-
ton, and you are now standing on the
very spot where he threw away the
bloodstained gusto with which he COM
mitted the fearful deed"

You look over the ads and write

One answer comes written in lead

other man writes YOU on a neatly

kind Of stock lie keeps, and looks
business-like.
Which letter appeals to You most?
Which man do you Immediately

HENRY FORD

In 1914 Mr.. Ford sent his
peace ship to the East to see if he
could exert some influence Of the
nations at war.
He expected to see the powers at
war, but he said he found the peo-
pie at war.
In contrast to Bryan he knows
that we may become involved in
the same war, al America has stood
every insult and injury that could
be reasonably expected her to bear
He knows that force may and
likely will have to be used to pro-
tect America.
Bryan like a chime, is still hold
ing out his little dove Of peace and
asking millions upon millions Of
people to do everything against the
administration to injure the policy
of our government In its efforts for
protection OF preparation thereof.
He seems so simple that one is
reminded of the celestial nations
who sought to alright y cultured
people in time Of war by shaking at
them yellow flags to scare away the
evil spirits.
Enough Of Bryan, and to Henry
Ford who has placed at the govern
ment's disposal his immense auto
mobile plant to operate indefinitely
for the government at not one cent
of profit. He practically places his
private fortune of millions OF dol
lars at the governments disposal
and says he can furnish one thous.
and one man torpedo boats per day.
Compare (if you cam Bryan and
Ford in patriotism One giant
and the other a pigmy.
III this instance we know and
feel comparisons TO be odious. "

THE FARMERS YEAR

Most extraordinary conditions
now face American agriculture. The
supply of food and of seeds is less
than ever at this season, the de-
mand greater. 1t is imperative this
season to produce every pound pos
sible Of food products. If this years
crops are mostabundant good prices
still seem to be assured. The
worlds larder is bare.
Gardeners and greenhouse men
should bend their efforts to raising
early stuff. The dearth of fruits
and vegetables, made more acute by
freezes in the South, viii be more
pronounced before midsummer.
Every farmer must have a good
garden, He must produce on his
own land all that his family and
live stock consume. Every villager
or city resident who has a garden
spot should utilize it.
Our Garden Annual therefore
comes out this week at the psyche
logical moment. Every person or
family who acts upon this advice,
and who employs the wealth of
timely helps afforded BY the read
ing matter and advertisements in
this number, will have reason to
thank us before the season is
Those who neglect our
Annual may have cause for
regret before the season is over.
The many new, tried and helpful
offerings of our advertisers are most
