COME, NOW, YE INVENTORS!
HERE'S YOUR CHANCE!
Farmer Wants to Know il He Can't
Stick Tube In His Cow 80 He
Can Pasture Her On Alfalfa

Thousands of inventions for COM
batting the submarine have been
sent to Washington thus indicat-
ing the fruitfulness of American in
venive genius. Why can not some
one help this man in his troubles:
To-day l had a COW blote and
had to stick her and saved her.
Now l have no pasture but have
good alfalfa and would like to
know if there wasn't a sort of tube
to put in q cow that you could
leave in her all time SO the gas
could escape and that way could
pasture them on the alfalfa. Now
If there is anything of this kind
please let me know how to use them
and where to get them"
Here is certainly an opportunity
for inventive genius to go the linn
it. 1t might be well to suggest to
prospective inventors that this es.
cape valve should not only be per
fectly adjusted but should be pro-
vided with whistle as we'll, which
will enable the COW to give warning
Of distress, ond possible disaster,
should the valve be set to blow of

Will q. s. Soldiers Marry English
Wives?

II
Specializing editorially on wheth-
er the men of the American army
will marry English wives to any ap-
preciable extent, the Liverpool, Post
says:
will American men marry here?
We wonder If the coming of the
American army will have any effect
upon the matrimonial prospects of
our girls. For some reason, the men
of the new world have hitherto new
er shown any great eagerness to
take brides from the old, and even
the theory that this is because It
has not been the way of the Ameri-
can man to cross the Atlantic,
The Holly chieftain., 1917-07-27
at too high a pressure.

Seriously. the question has often
been asked If something of this
kind could not be devised, for it is
a well known fact that while alfalfa
would make an ideal pasture, there
is no condition under which cattle
and sheep can be pastured on it
with safety. Here is an instance
where controlling the effect would
not remove the cause and, the cause
still being active, some other effect
would arise to separate the COW
from her earthly ambiti0ns.-Geo.

College, Fort Collins Colorado.

though it is consoling to our ma
tional vanity, does not work. For
it is noticeable that the Canadians,
who have abounded in our midst
during the past three years are not
nearly as fond Of marrying into
this country as are, I or example,
Australians.
Pew 6f the young men from Aus
tralia seem to want to return home
The Holly chieftain., 1917-07-27

without English brides, but the
Canadians either are married when
they come or show disposition to
remain single.
Still there is no need for the girls
to despair yet, and if some of them
do not spend their lives as matr0ns
in the United States we shall be
surprised. Certainly it will not be
their fault, as they show most

What other matters are dealt with by
the editors of the German language papers
may be gathered from the following:
"Illinois Stastszeitung' Chicago editorial
in English: Certainly no American is so
foolish as TO oppose the decision which came
with the declaration of war. The executive
power of our democracy is exercised with as
great a severity as in any autocracy and
mercilessly removes anybody who seeks to
oppose it. After Congress legtimatized the
theory that the German American dispute re-
garding international law had TO be fought
out by arms opposition to the expressed will
of the country would be folly for an indi
vidual and a crime against the country. But
to help along with advice and action as TO the
ways and means for conducting the war is an
inviolable and undenable right Of the citizen,
and it is his duty to inform the Administra-
ton, which he called TO Office, and which is
there to serve him, of the course which the
majority Of the people desires to have fol-
lowed"
