Peace? Yes! But the
Mountain, Recall, Did
Not Go to MahOmet!

Resistance to the draft law he brands
as anarchy,
And Bryan is again right as The
Times has found him to be generally
The Times opposed the entrance Of the
United states into the war up 70 the last
ditch. because The Times is opposed TO
all war.
But the action Of congress meant tLat
soon the sons of American mothers
would be strapping on knapsacks shou.
dering guns and marching away e The
trenches in France, and We faced an en-
tirely new situation and a new and
deeply grave responsibility toward these
men and their homes.
The Times realized that when these
young men marched away, the big issue
would be their coming back.
Now they have gone away.
In training camps over the country
they are being fitted for earliest possible
service on the firing line
The Times has not deserted the cause
Of peace.
The Times Is not, however for
peace without victory FOR PEACE.
The Times is still for peace, but il is
first for this country, first for these men
who are in the fight; first for the army
and navy and for the flag, because il IS
first for what these things stand for
This country must never again be sub
jected to the trying times thru which
It now passes.
It's homes and its hearts must never
again be subjected to the ordeal they
are now called upon to suffer The world
must never again see anything like this
war that has turned the violated fields
of Europe into slaughtering places; that
has crippled industry, drawn the blood
of men and the tears Of women and re-
tarded progress all along the line.
THE WORLD MUST BE MADE
SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY.
We have so declared as a nation and
there can be no turning back.
If any American thinks there can be.
he is fool
We cannot, therefore, entertain at this
time any thought of peace that as
sumes no obligation to civilization
We cannot think Of harboring
peace that is not to be founded squarely
upon what it has cost.
We cannot think of accepting peace
that would leave one single nation IN
possessed of a conscience with no con-
scientious motive itself for desiring
peace.
The crime of Belgium must certainly
be provided against in settling this
peace, and that can never be accomplish
ed until those bloodletters who were re-
sponsible for the crime have been put
down and out and in position where
orders from them need never more be
taken
No peace can be concluded with any
possibility of its being a lasting peace
until in every country on the globe there
has been provided protection for limo
cent women and children against fends
for conquest and power in any delirium
of madness
No peace can be concluded that fails
to bring TO atonement those who are re-
sponsble for new horrors added TO the
horrors Of war
The time for a discussion Of whether
il was right or wrong for the United
States TO enter this war has gone by. as
Bryan says it has.

CRITIC OF MODERN IDEAS
Writer Ranges Himself Firmly Against
System of Education Which He
Considers Pernicious.

In no other way, Herhaps than In
their advocacy Of the perniciOus doc
trine Of individual interest have the
modernists more seriously undermined
sound scholarship, proper habits of
study, and the development Of virile,
rugged character OF all the latest edu-
cational nOstrums foisted upon us, this
is one of the worst. Even child can
feel its appeal; for the pill is thickly
coated with sugar, and every child's
"interest" draws 1t to sugar, even
though stomach ache or something
worse may result. Where, pray, are
we to begin and where end in this
weighty responsibility of needing and
catering to the interests of youth?
Was there ever normal boy who did
not successfully show an interest" in
running a candy store, in becoming
policeman, or motorman, or an en-
gineer, or the captain of an ocean
liner? Can we conceive of red-blOOd-
ed youth to whom electricity and ma
chinery and chemical experiments do
not bring their special appeal? Would
we regard a boy as having ordinary in
telligence who could not readily
learn to understand the mechanism of
his fathers automobile? As a school,
master / am only too well aware that
fathers with such normal sons see un-
mistakable signs Of budding genius in
this natural ability of youth; but as
an ordinary individual am disposed
to class these deluded parents with
those whose sons have never told
lie." They lack perception Alfred

Civic Club

Clvle OIUo
The WOman's Civic club OF Holly
met Tuesday afternoon in regular
session. A gOOdly number OF mem-
bers were present. The library CON-
mittee reported that q number OF
new books would be added to the
library soon. The cemetary commit
tee was glad to say that the arbOr

moved to a lot owned by the club
and that other necessary improve
ments would be made. 1t is hoped
that in the near future We might
have cemetery day and do many
things at the cemetery on that day.
Chairman of park committee said
that work on the new park grounds
had begun and was progressing
nicely. It was voted to allow the
committee funds for this week rs
they needed it. A report from the
dance committee showed q neat
sum added to the treasury from
the two recent dances. The streets
and alleys committee had meeting
and formulated plans for general
clean up campaign. ArbOr Day was
set as the time for individual work
and every one is urged to begin at
once to clean up their lots and back
yards so by that day the city may
be in perfect order The city and
school extend their hearty cO-Opera-
tion in this work and there is no
reason why we cannot be model
city from clean and sanitary
standpoint. Let us all join hands
in this good work. Just at this
writing is a good time to speak
about flies All the flies you kill
now will mean hundreds less of the
pests later on. 1t will be wise to
get out our traps and catch the

ONLY MOBILES AND PEASANTS
Russia a Country Where There Is No
Middle Glass, as in the Rest
of Europe.

Contrary to the laws existing in Eng
land and Sweden, in Russia when a
lady belonging to titled family mar
ries a Russian gentleman without
title she takes her husbands name en-
tirely, and the only right left to her of
her former title is to write on her
visiting cards and official papers, ''Mrs.
SO-and-So born Princess, Countess or
Baroness SO-and-So." Her children are
called by their fathers name. There
are only few exceptions to this rule,
according to London Tit-Bits.
In Russia no middle class or gentry
are known. There are only mobiles and
peasants. The car, however, grants
sometimes for special merit the right
to be styled a nobleman, and also for
the same reason the titles of count and
baron, and occasionally that of prince.
AL those merchants who have kept
firms flourishing for a hundred years
have the right to receive the title of
baron. This law was made by Peter
the Great over 200 years ago, but the
merchants very seldom accept this Ger
man title and generally decline the
privilege. .-s
In former days when the peasants
were still slaves they had no family
names, but were called by their faith
er's Christian name. Peters son was
called son of Peter-in Russian Petrov.
So also Smirnov-Simon's son; Ivanov
-Ivan's (John) son and so on. When
slavery was abolished and the eman-
cipation proclaimed by the Emperor
Alexander II, they all kept these
names. Since then many of them
have received the right to belong to
the class of mobiles.
The Russian clergy, belonging to the
class of peasants, for it very seldom
happens that mobiles become priests,
have special family names. Their
names mean always a feast day, or a
precious stone, or something connected
with the church. In former DAYS the
clergy was class apart, and a son of
a clergyman was bound to be a clergy
man, and when they first entered the
church they chose name for them
selves.

Signs of Danger
That Should Be Needed by Barton
People.

There's serious danger in neglect
ing any weakness of the kidneys. The
warning nature gives should not be
overlooked If troubled by too fire.
uuent passage of the kidney secre-
lions; burning or scalding; if the Sc
cretions are highly colored and con-
tain sediment when left standing-if
YOU have backache, too, with frequent
headaches and dizziness, make up
your mind that your kidneys are af-
fected and begin using some reliable
kidney remedy. Deaths from kidney
disease have increased in the United
States alone, 72 per cent in the last
20 years. The risk is great, you
can't afford to delay. Barton people
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills. Can
YOU ask for better proof of merit than
the statement of this Barton resi-
dent?
Jas. C. Healey, millwright, High
Street, Barton, says: "Some time
ago my back started to ache and my
kidneys became disordered. [ had read
of the good Doan's Kidney Pills had
done others, so | bought some at

me of the trouble and / am glad to

A HAY PARABLE

There was hay field
That gave a low yield,
And the hay was weedy and poor.
1t tried hard to grow
But it hadn't a show,
For plantfOod it couldn't procure.
This field so distressed,
Was the next spring top dressed,
With a fertilizer, high-grade and
strong.
It quickly started the grass,
Made heavy, green mass,
That kept growing the whole season
long.
The grass being stout,
The weeds were chOked out;
The crop increased by a ton or more,
And the grass roots grew,
While the weeds died out too
Making a heavier sod than before.
The following year,
They planted corn here,
On this sod 80 heavy and tough,
For when grass roots grow,
They make humuS, you know,
Which for corn is just the right stuff.
The corn grew fast,
To the very last
On the sod Of the old hay field,
So top dressing pays,
In number of ways
1t surely will add to your yield.

WHEN THE TIME COMES

The best methods Of soil man.
agement are those which make
it possible to utilize the nitro
gen of the air through legumes
and the insoluble plant food Of
the soil by making it slowly
available during the growing
season. When it is either i'm
possible or impractical to fur
nish from these sources suffi-
cient plantfood for crop pro-
duction, it becomes desirable to
make use of an additional
amount in commercial form. In
the case of virgin soils large
crops usually are secured with
out applying any fertilizing ma
terial whatever. But under such
treatment the richest lands soon
decrease in productiveness. Re-
course is then had to clover and
farm manure to check decreas-
ing crop yields. However, a
time inevitably comes when
the Resources of the farm are
not sufficient to furnish the prop
err amount of pIantfood for
most profitable crop production.
1t is then that the application of
commercial fertilizers becomes
desirable and necessary, if
permanent system Of soil fertiI-
ity is to be coupled with profit
