WHEN UNCLE SAMUEL PEELs
HIS COAT

When Uncle Samuel peels his coat
And rolls his sleeves up tight,
You can bet your final sou-markee
There's going to be a fight.
He's very patient, is Uncle Sam,
And peaceful Is his notion,
But when he gets his dander up,
Just watch him get in motion.
He's had some hard knocks in hil
time,
Through quarrels Of others picking
But never lost an inch of soil,
And never got licking.
The Stars and Stripes his oriflamme,
The eagle for his token,
r rom "Seventy-six" to Seventeen"
His record is unbroken.
Ten million men now at his call,
And dollars without number,
Your Uncle Samuel's on the job
Awakened from his slumber
He has no selfish aim to gain,
No future domination;
A lasting world-peace is his aim,
An end to devastation.
And when this ruthless war shall end,
With all its tribulations,
He'll be the first to lend a hand
To aid the stricken nations.
Charles L. Tompkins.
New Jersey was added to the list of
states whose quota for the regular
army has been filed.

JAPANESE AMERICAN PATRIOTISM

aFiye Appeals to American Patriotism" is the
title of very interesting and instructive booklet
issued from the publishing bureau Of the Hong
wanji Mission, under the direction of Bishop Y.
Imamura.
The inspiration for this book, the bishop says,
was furnished by the activities of the citizenship
Educational committee with which the Hongwanji
Mission has always been in active cooperation.
In his letter sent with the book the bishop stys
TO impress firmly upon the hearts of the japanese
youth Of this TERRITORY what the true American
spirit is il of the final aims of the work carried
out by our Hongwanji Mission here. Believing that
some of the most prominent historical papers of the
United States would bring the ,est answer to this
Effect decided to publish this little book under
the title of Give Appeals to American Patriotism"
The first article as might be expected is the De
claration Of Independence; next the Farewell Ad-
dress Of George Washington; then the famous mes
sage of James Monroe, which established the his
toric Monroe Doctrine; Presiden; Lir coins Ge+tys-
burg Address, and finally the War Message of Pre-
sident Woodrow Wilson. The end6 carries the
Constitution of the United States, and the final
touch is given by the international song written by
Philip Henry Dodge, and adapted 70 the tune,
nColumbia the Gem of the Ocean"
The preface written by the Bishop suggests to
bis Japanese friends that they memo-ze these doc
uments they do the patriotic utterances of Japan.
These must be put into memory" says the bishop,
Ajust as the five VOWS Of the late emperor Of Japan
his edict on education and his procal lion of 1908
are memorized by almost every japanese. They are
the right nd long wanted scripture of American
spirit and hope they will be adopted as such in
the education for American citizenship"
The articles Of the book are printed in English
as well as japanese, and certainly American par
ents will do we'll to follow the advice of Bishop
Imamura in urging that these famous utterances
be memorized by all American children.

USING AN AMERICAN WAR-INVENTION.

Another American invention has been seized
upon abroad and turned to war use. according to a
story going the rounds of the mainland press The
Philadelphia Ledgers version Of it is as follows:
II has been established by the sinking Of the Brit
lsh steamship Gena, hich was torpedoed by a Ger.
man aeroplane, that Germany has appropriated the
idea of Rear admiral Bradley A. Fiskes torpedo,
carrying aeroplane and thus put into practical
operation another weapon Of war invented bv an
American but neglected in this country according
10 a statement by the Aero Club of America
Since 1t was announced by the British admiralty
That the Gena had been sunk by torpedo discharg-
ed from an aeroplane, officials of the Aero Club of
America have sought information in England about
the type OF flying machine used by the Germans for
This exploit The British magazine Flying which
arrived )day, brought pictures of German tor
pedocarrying seaplane which showed that the mech
anism for discharging the torpedo was virtually
Identical with that patented by Rear.Admral
Fiske.
Tests of the Fiske torpedoplane are now being
MADE at private expense but with the approval of
the navy department. Rear-Admiral Fiske patented
his invention in July, 1912, TWO years before the
war started, and all experiments with it which have
been conducted since that time have been at private
expense.
Henry Woodhouse, director of the Aero Club of
America, said that special torpedo, which meets
the conditions of ghtness and efficiency needed for
aerial service, had been developed by Frank NJ
Leavitt, torpedo expert of the E. w. Bliss Com
pany, and would be discharged from one Of the sea-
planes at target in test which is to be held Sc
cretly this week
The British, it was said as we'll as tie Germans,
have been developing Admiral Fiske's invention.

TOPEKA PUPILS BRIGHT
Scholars Average Above Other City
Schools in State.

Topeka children are brighter than
those of other Kansas districts, accord
ing to their mothers and to actual
mental tests made by Dean Kelly of
the school of education of Kansas
university. The Topeka school chill
dren average 10 per cent above the
grade of other pupils in other Kansas
cities and 2 per cent above the rural
attendants. Dean Kelly used his own
test on the pupils The silent read
ing test, Woodie arithmetic test and
the Courts writing test were all used.
This scientific research work will
probably be made a regular feature of
the school work of Topeka" according
to H. B. Wilson. superintendent of
the Topeka schools. Not only this
first test but a record will be kept
of each student and his progress in
four years will be noted. Poor in
struction and unsystematic methods
will be traced down."

The hearing before the interstate
commerce commission in which the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad
is attempting to increase the passen-
ger fares to .6 cents a mile south
of the Union Pacific and "A mile
north of that line has been postponed,
according to a telegram received at
the office of the state public utilities
commission. The NJ. X. T. has filed
a petition with the interstate COM
merce commission asking that all rail-
roads be forced to make the hike, as
the difference in fares on various
roads hurt its business. The utilities
commission has filed an intervening
petition, declaring the Katy's petition
is not made in good faith, that the
petition IS in reality backed, in spirit,
by the other roads who wish to set
aside the 2-cept fare.

Thursday it was gone. Gone-and

gested that it was the professor, and
others believe the students are guilty.
Any way it is gone and his haunting
look will no longer threaten the Ger

The professor in burst of defense
stated that such actions were not
patriotic and showed common sense
dethroned by enthusiasm and pas
sion. 1t was condemnable-but still
the students insist that the professor
did away with the photograph.

POTATO PLANTING
r. w. Mitchell Explains Practical
Methods for State journal Readers.
BY r. W. MITCHELL.

Select tubers OF even size, using
those for seed that require about four
to the pound.
To plant the two rows given in the
Garden Plot requires twelve pounds
of the tubers, of above given size,
which will not exceed, in number,
fifty potatoes.
Cut the potato with two eyes to
the piece with as much OF the meat
of the tuber as possible, as this is
the food for the little plant until it
forms its rootlets and can feed on the
soil water.
These fifty potatoes will furnish
250 pieces, or $50 hills. 125 hills to
the 140-foot lot, for the two rows, ESQ
hills, allowing the hills to be about
IA inches apart.
Plant the pieces in a 6-inch fur
row, and if you want them early,
cover them with about inches of
