WHAT I6-YEAR-OLD BOY
THINKS OF war STATUS
International Situation Cleverly Anal
yzed BY Clear-Sishted Youth.

The following letter accidentally came
INTO the hands of the editor OF The
washington Herald. II is published be-
cause OF the unusual clear thinking Of
boy:
Dear Uncle John: At first reading,
Sermany's note to the United States
struck me as coming from the pages of
stephen Leacoek's Further Foolishness. .
when ] read It again 1 saw that it was
deliberate insult to the Intelligence OF
the people Of the United States. The
attitude back of this note seems to me
to be this: Germany is child who
knows that it is inevitable that it is
going TO get spanked. and so. doing its
worst. spits In some ones face. But
wlthal, II has the usual blundering lee
and statements so evident in all the Ger
man notes. For instance:
O Germany would be sincerely glad
n in recognition of this principle (Presi-
dent Wilson's talk about freedom in his
last note), countries like Ireland and
India, which do not enjoy the benefits OF
political independence, should not obtain
their freedom. "a silent German addition
10 this clause is so that Germany at
some future date might grab one or
both.)
Annexation of Belgium.
CD Annexation of Belgium never
formed part of Germany's Intentions"
t5 (Talking further about Belgium)
with which Germany desires to maintain
friendly relations, that Belgium should
not be used AGAIN by Germany's s
enemies. CAS- il her neutrality was broken
by the allies and not by the Germans0
90 The German efforts for peace have
failed owing to the lust of conquest of
their enemies" Qt Is to be remembered
that the part of the Germans in this war
Is wholly defensive co

tional law. the group of powers led

90 British tyranny mercilessly in
creases the sufferings of the world.
Indifferent to the laws of humanity,
indifferent to the protests of neutrals
whom it severely harms. cor course,
it is to be clearly understood that
Germany never did anything of this
sort herselfO
So much for the note part. which in
my humble opinion is mostly gas.
But to my mind the insulting part
of this extraordinary missive is the

why THE MINISTRY
MAKES WEAK APPEAL
Comment Upon Failure Of Pulpit to
Attract as Career.

In our issue OF November Is we pub
lished an article on why Do Not Want
My Boy to be Minister" Both minis
t.rs and laynen have written to US COM
menting upon the pessimistic views put
forward by our ministsr-contributor and
upon our editorial reply. The opinions
which have been sent to us are as d.
verse as the regions from which they
come. Three OF theee opinions we publish
here in part. The first came to Us from
the pastor Of a Presbyterian church In
Michigan whose views on the opportunity
for service existing In the present-day
church seem to us both true and whole
some. He writes:
81 have just read the article entitled
Why I DO Not Want Ny Boy to be a
Minister" by a minister. The article
smells OF that spirit expressed In GER
tain song, I Did Not Raise My Boy to
be a Soldier II certainly has none Of
that tone and character revealed In those
lives that blazed the trail through the
swamps and over storm-swept mountains
for the dust-stained race of men"
He then takes up some OF the points
against the ministerial profession which
were raised by the writer of our first
article on why Do Not Want Ny Boy
to be Minister" quoting the author with
whom he disagrees. he continues:
~ do not want my boy to be intellect
ually fettered.'
Intelligent Letters.
1T Is to be hoped that the son will
be less easily fettered than his father;
in fact, that he will be of the unfetter-
able kind that breaks over every human
fence on his way to the table

FARMER TELLS
Of EXPERIMENT
IN TESTING SEED

"Just recently experimental on
seed wheat and used the Bismarck
Tribune seed tester" writes julius
Meyer of Baldwin, n. D., to The Tri-
bunc. II believe the experiment is
well worth telling my fellow farmers.
II took so kernels of the very best
looking seed from my 1915 crop which
l sowed last spring. Then took 60
kernels OF my wheat which | raised
last year took the latter kernels
just as they came from the bin. Both
were tested at the same time under
the directions supplied.
From the so kernels only 40 grew,
ten not even sprouting. From the
so kernels of the 1916 crop, 80 kerr
nels grew. The 1915 wheat had u

longer and a stronger sprout and
root. Through this experiment ] am
not going to seed any wheat OF the
1916 crop, not as long as farmer can
obtain 4 pounds to the bushel or
wheat raised in 1916.
II believe that those who have to
buy seed wheat should not pay a war
price for the 1915 wheat The fall
of 1915 was a very wet one, much
seed sprouted in the shocks and very
little of it was threshcd dry enough
so it could stand the test Of storing
it until this spring and make good
seed wheat.
This 40-pound to the bushel wheat
can be cleaned all right and now IS
the time to do it, The screenings can
be ground for hog feed. That is the
way | do"

FOOD SUPPLY BILL
PASSES THE HOUSE

The first of the administration food
bills carrying appropriations of APP
proXimately 14,770,0OO for asurvey
and stimulation of the food supply
passed the house Monday without
record vote. A similar bill is pend
ing in the senate.
Representative Rankin made her
maiden speech on the floor of the
house and incidentally won her initial
fight. She succeeded in amending by
a unanimous vote in the committee of
the whole the food bill so as to pro-
vide that in making the proposed
food survey the services of women
shall be used insofar as practicable.
Tremendous applause greeted Miss
Rankin when she arose to speak and
when she concluded.
