THAT GOVERNMENT
SHALL NOT PERISH"

The United States has learned
great deal about itself since the open.
ing OF the war. 1t has learned, for
instance. that the nation has great
need OF preparedness for war, when
war impends, but II has learned also
thst there is such a thing as prepared.
ness for peace, and In either case that
preparedness cannot stop short of
condition OF thought, a national unity
OF purpose and idealism, wherein
every individual OF the aggregation
that stands as the nation shall feel
himself in accord with the idea of
government and individual freedom
that has its expression in the term
United States OF America"
Long before the war opened the
need Of this kind OF unity was gen.
orally recognized. but the conditions
seemed to defy analysis. There was
much talk of "the melting pot;
many observers were agreed that the
United States had been taking in its
unregenerate thousands from over.
seas much more rapidly than II could
absort them; and there was lncreas-
Ing apprehension over the fact that
vast numbers OF newcomers to Amer.
lea were growing up here in colonies
where they were, unfortunately, re.

former homLs. and yet were out OF
reach Of those influences which should
have been leading and training then,
toward The assumption OF the respon.
sibilities without which no individual
can be true citizen OF the American
Republic.
In the heat OF this war, citizenship
everywhere has been tried as in a
furnace. In The United States, as
elsewhere. citizenship has been newly
eyaljated, II not newly defined. Like
patriotism, II has once again been
seen TO be not a cheap thing to be
lightly aseuy.od or cast aside. but as
In other great periods OF the worlds
history, 1t has been seen and recog.
nized as 4 vital allegiance, a personal
alignment, ledge. binding the com.

Poisoning The Squirrels.

A number of farmers availed them
selves of the services OF II. Fl. Beier,
county agricultural agent. Monday
afternoon to get oats treated with the
poison formula for extermina.iDg
ground squirrels on the vacant lands
In their vicinities. Poison is furnish
ed free by the county for this purpose
Farmers must buy their own poison
for use on land they are farming.
Oats is used because birds do not eat
1t as readily they do wheat. Blanks
were furnished On which farmers are
asked to make report on the amount
of land treated and the results of the
poison SO that the county may know
whether the expenditure is justified.
Following is the pos son formula
used by Mr. Beier:
Mix together dry, | ounce of pow :
dered strychnine (alkaloid). ounce
of baking soda, l teaspoonful of sac
charine and 3 tablespoonfuls of -four.
Add a little cold water and stir
thoroughly to smooth. creamy paste
Apply to IL quarts of clean oats and
mix thoroughly to distribute the
poison evenly.
Each quart of poisoned grain is
sufficient for 40 to so bats. This
quantity, scattered q teaspoonful to
place. along squirrel trails, or on
clean, hard surfaces near the holes,
will not endanger stock.
N. B. B.-Strychnlne in any form
other than the commercial powdered
alkaloid is not effective in the above
formula.
