Chicago National league fans here are proclaiming Fred, Mitchell, man ager of the Cubs,, as another George Stallings. When the race in the par ent league opened the dopesters did not give the Cubs look in. On pa per the team didn't look very good. Outside of one or two players there weren't, any bright stars.

LOSING THE HYPHEN.

Recently the information bureau at Wash ington issued pamphlet containing quotations from German Americans showing that there are Germans in this country who mAmercans may well be proud of.
 Otto Kahn, New York banker, wrote:
 Americans of German birth are called upon to rise together with their fellow citizens of all to free not only this country but the whole world from the presson rulers of Germany oppression far less capable of being endured and of far graver portent
 Hans Russau, of Pipestone, Minn., wrote:
 The present ruling class of Germany must be re- least be made mpotent of doing any further mischief When this is accomplished great stride will have been made toward universal world peace"
 A. J. Butcher, editor of Hans und Herd, of Cincinnati, made this appeal:
 Let us do it in gratitude toward America, which has welcomed us to it's hospitable and has given offer to us and which has granted golden lib erty everything noble and good and which has show cred an abundance of blessings upon us.'
 C. KotZenabe wrote:
 Because of my birth and feelings beyond my control have no particular for the French and less for the British But by a strange irony of fate those tons giving their blood for principles which hold dear against the wrong principles people individually love, It is very unhappy paradox but I cannot escape the allies triumph the land of my birth But very much the triumph of the they fight for my soul think of this nation going forth help destroy people, many of whom bound by ties of blood and friendship But it must is like a dreadful surgical operation.

SOME GOOD FROM WAR.

With all it evils, and their name is legion, war is forcing upon millions of people few things that are for our good. The most of us are learning to live either without-mostly with out-meat or to eat but little of it. Multitudes will likely discover that their health is all the better for it. There are only few who are not denying themselves a score of things once hardly deemed luxuries but which look quite unneces- sary in the light of their cost today. In addition to this who shall measure the sacrifices that have been made to share with suffering men and women across the sea, the unselfsh service that has been called forth by the demand for the soldiers needs, the herosm awakened in the hearts of those who have answered their coun- try's call. or who have given their sons and daughters; their husbands, their brothers to what they have felt was great cause But above all we are learning mighty fast who is who, and when the war is over shall know who is deserving of the name of American. However, it's pity that so many lessons we are able to learn only out of bitterness and sorrow.

WE ARE TOO SLOW.

Some weeks ago, the government announced that it would requisition several steamers from the Alaska run to help traffic somewhere else
 When the announcement was made .ee looked at one another, gaping; as though stunned by a blow, and apparently we have not recovered yet
 At least we have done nothing to prevent the government from carrying out it's plan. AL though we knew that unless the government al- lowed the Canadian steamship companies to en- ter the coastWise trade, the taking off of Amer ican steamers would impose hardship on Alas kans. Yet We did nothing. We are too slow for anything. Yesterdav advices from Seattle told us that the companies had taken the matter up and will endeavor to show the government that the boats are needed here. This showing should not be hard to make All they have to do is to refer the government agents to the fact that the transport Crook had to be commandeer- ed to carry materials for the railroad due to the lack of private transportation facilities-so it was said. But that isn't the point, which is

JUST FOR SATISFACTION.

It isn't fair that men should beat the game ot saving at home by the simple expedient of eat ing in the restaurants. There are women here whose patriotism has been extended to lntroduc- ing wheatless and meatless days in their homes but when those days come, the men invariably find excuses to remain down town because they are too busy, or something, and go to restau- rants to fill up, leaving wives and children to en- joy the starvation days There ought to be law with heavy punishment attached designat- ing day or days during the week when no meat would be served either at home or restaurants then ts,e guttons would get what is coming to them. However:
 It wouldn't make any difference to us;
 We have nothing to eat but mush.
 But we would like to see others with hungry looks on their faces It would give us some sat isfaction.

DISPOSAL OF CHANG HSUN IS PROBLEM
 FOR DIPLOMATISTS

Peking, Nov. 29.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-Gen. Chang Hsun, the monarchical leader who en- deavored to put the Manchu boy-em- peror, Hsuan Tung, back on the throne and is now refugee in the Netherlands legation, will probably be sent to Reunion island, a French pos session off the east coast of Mada- gascar. The entire diplomatic body has considered the disposition to be made of Gen. Chang Hsun several times, and after conference with Chi nese officials, virtually decided to send him to some distant island.
 Premier Yuan Chi-jui and the lead CTS who are now in power, have been somewhat -committal when asked what their pleasure was concerning the monarchical leader. They did not care to have Chang Hsun turned over to the Chinese government, as such a step might necessitate his execution and create a political disturbance.
 It is impossible for the foreign le- gations to keep Chang Hsun and the other monarchical refugees within their small legation compounds for an indefinite time. Their lives would probably not be safe in any part of China, consequently the diplomatic body seems likely to accept the offer of the French government to give Chang Hsun refuge on Reunion island.

GERMANY FAILS
 TO MATCH FRENCH SEVENTY-FIVES

French Front, Nov. 30.-(Corre- spondence of the Associated Press.)- German artillerymen have not been able, in spite of all their efforts, to invent a field gun which in any way approaches the French field gun in ac- curacy of aim or rapidity of fire. Since the beginning of the war, how
 ever, they have greatly improved their three-inch gun and have in- creased it's range by extending the Flength of the tube and fixing it on a four-inch howitzer gun carriage, (which gives it an extreme carrying dis tance- of nearly six miles. Its most effective range is still only between t2 1-3 and 3 3-4 miles. | In making these improvements, the German gunners have decreased the deficiency of the field gun at the
 shorter ranges, sine the longer barrel
 causes the piece to heat more rapidly
 than the old model and thus prevents
 the battery from maintaining quick
 fire for more than a short period. The shells fired by these guns are
 of five varieties, each battery being
 furnished with supplies of all of them 1 for use according to circumstances. The various shells are:
 The long explosive concussion shell. The long explosive shell with an in- Instantaneous fuse formed of an alum mum bar an inch-and-a-half in length
 which is inserted in the end of the projectile just before it is fired, and causes the shell to burst at the slightest obstacle.
 The ordinary short shell with a de- layed time fuse.
 The ordinary short explosive time fuse shell.
 The shrapnel shell.
 The shells most generally employed are those of the ordinary explosive kind and shrapnel. All shells are now provided with a driving band made of an alloy, as the supply of copper in Germany has become short.

LOSS CAUSED BY
 EXPOSING COTTON

The writer knows of one farmer merchant Who stored @ 300 bales in his yard from November until early in Marc:l. He then shipped it to an- ether point to be really stored. The actual damage and labor charges in cured in removing the damage caus- ed this man a loss of over T1 100. He could have built himself an excellent storage house with this loss or for S100 stored the cotton in a modern warehouse where it would have been 'sndamaged. Similar instances could be repeated without number. South ern- farmers have wasted an inca]cu liable sum in the past. Are they going to allow g to g. cents cotton to rot this year?
 Another factor to be taken into consideration is that leaving bales of cotton exposed to the weather causes layer, the thickness of which de- bends upon the length of time it is exposed to discolor. When the farm CT sells this cotton it is graded &C., cording to this off colored layer of slightly damaged cotton. Even those farmers who turn and air their cot ton, thus preventing it from actually rotting, lose from $1 to $7.5O per bale from thisl cause.-The Progressive Farmer.

AMERICAN XMAS FOR

Sammies Not to Be Deprived of Thei, Share of the Christmas
 Festivities.

TcSCIv1C1CSs
 Paris, Dec. 23.-The American sol diers in the trenches and in the nu- merouh camps scattered over France are not going to be deprived of their customary Christmas festivities. Wherever the Americans are gathered there will be impromptu entertain ments, in which the English, the Can- adian and the French soldiers will have part. All of the "Red Trian- gle" huts of the Young Mems Chris tian association will be centers of Christmas festivities. There will be Christmas trees, not only at the base camps in the training zone, but also behind the trenches from which the American boys are now facing the Germans.
 Thanks to the well-directed efforts of the American commissary depart ment, every man wearing United States uniform will be assured of an excellent Christmas dinner, perhaps not quite so appetizing as those mother used to make" but a very good dinner nevertheless.
 Every American soldier in France will receive Christmas present of some kind or another. Several mil lion packages have been forwarded to the front and to the training camps by relatives and friends in the home land. and these are being delivered to the men today. In the event that any soldier has been overlooked by Santa Claus, or in cases where packages from across the Atlantic may have gone astray, the soldier is certain to receive gift from the Y. M. c. A.

PROPER CARE OF MANURE.

These losses are not all due to teaching, but when manure IS kept in open lots and tramped by the live stock the losses, especially in winter or wet weather, are largely from teaching.
 Of course, the lesson to be drain from these facts is that manure should not be allowed to remain in open yards, that if stored it should be under cover, that the livestock should be kept under open sheds as far as practicable instead of in open yards and that the manure should be put on the land as quickly as possible. When We consider the above ev1- dence of loss and also the further fact that Thorne of Ohio found that ton for ton fresh manure gave as good results in increased yields as routed manure, while it took two tons or more of fresh manure, there can be no further doubt that the aim must be to save livestock manures under cover and to get them on the land as quickly as practicable.-The Progress sive Farmer.
