FOR DEFENSE.
Marion Couthouy Smith,
Of the Nigilantes

We have seen the children lying
Huddled-wounded
We shall hear their far, faint crying
Till earth's last word is said;
Bleeding and shattered. flung aside,
Charred in the homestead's fire,
struck with the sword, whelmed in the
tide.
For a peoples blood-desire.
Then will you say again
"This is q war OF klngs?"
Nay. but this Is war OF men
Defending precious things.
We have heard a fearful humming
Sounding from shore 10 shore
The vulture airships coming
Away from the line OF war,
Away, on a cold and shameful quest,
10 cottage roof and bed;
And the clinging child at It's mothers
breast.
Sprayed with her blood. lies dead.
Yet win you say again
"This Is a war OF hngs?"
This Is n war OF outraged men
Fighting for helpless things
when old and young are falling
Under the bastard darts,
When Freedoms self is calling
To all unfettered hearts.
when all that men have lived and died
To bring TO light and bloom
Rider the crest OF n threatening tide,
Rocks on the verge OF doom
WIN you raise the unthinking cry
again.
This Is n war OF kings?"
But this Is a war OF men--of Men
Dying for priceless things

Editor Ardmoreite:
In your Sunday issue you publish an
account Of an alteration which took
place in Justice Bourland's court be-
tween t. ID. Orr and myself, in which
YOU state that "Dr Skillern had made
several contradictory statements on the
stand" This conveyed the idea thar
| had contradicted myself and sworn
falsely. I am asking you 10 correct
that statement. The fact is that the
difference that arose between Mr. Orr
and myself was over a statement he
says he understood me 10 have made
week before the time when | was
talking to him about the matter. Mr..
Orr grossly insulted me when on the
witness stand resented. Mr.. Orr, like
true gentleman, retracted what he
said, and apologized for same, and that
ended the matter as far as / am con
cerned II you will kindly retract the
statement above referred to, which Is
misleading and does me injustice, as IT
might create a false impression, / shall
be very greatly obliged.
Yours sincerely.

I have been q keen observer and a

farmer would call luck and the realisa-
ton OF his widest dreams. But l am
chained by the manacles Of mediocrity.
This Is what tortures me In my sleep
and renders my life miserable: The
average farmer is not over thirty per
cent efficient; not from lack Of brains
but from the failure TO use them. Our
rural schools are rotten; our farm ami
mails are scrubby; our knowledge OF
weather reports is vague; our sense OF
economy has not yet reached the EN-
brvo stage: we know nothing Of farm
finance: our farm papers are piles OF
chaff. with only an occasional Kernel
that takes interminable time TO extr.'
cate: our experiment stations are too
non.contiguous; our government bulle
tins do not use the vernacular OF the
farmer. and we have no system OF mar
keting. These things may sound pessl
,mistic. But they are actualities, undis
torted. want your assistance In the
instigation Of remedial measures.
We farmers must have a farm paper
I'm Ardmore: II must be a condensed
form Of all authentic and practical agri
culture, written in the vernacular OF
the farmer: 1t must offer attractive and
inexpensive advertising OF farm pro
duce. and It must become a staple article
OF every home. We must introduce car
loads OF thoroughbred cattle. swine and
seed. And eliminate haphazard propa'
cation.
Please arrange an interview between

Brigadier General Joseph D. Kuhn, who recently became head of the war college, and assistant to Major Gen. eral Hugh l.. Scott, chief of staff, has had a varied military career since he graduated from the West Point acade- my in 1885. In addition to the ser vice that ordinarily falls to the lot of an army officer he has held impor- tant positions in the army's schools for experts. He has also had the ad- vantage of serving as military at tache of the American embassy in Berlin during the first two years of the present war, and, consequently, is fully informed as to the latest devel- opments in war tactics, equipment, etc. General Kuhn was born in Kan sas in 1864 and received his ap- pointment from that state. In the war with Spain he served as major of engineers.

LABOR'S PATRIOTISM.

The machinists union of Pine Bluff is the first labor organization in the country, so far as we know, to prove its patriotism by deciding to invest in war bonds of the United States government At recent meeting the union authorized the purchase of bonds to the extent of $500, simply as demonstration of the locals loy- alty to the president and the nation in the crisis. This is the kind of sup port of the administered by labor that was expected by those who are familiar with the Amelicanism of the skilled worker, and that will prove q surprise to the kaiser and his ad : yisers who apparently had been lei tO believe that there would be di' vision of the people of this country in the event of war with the Prussian government.
