Can We In America
Match This French Spirit?

Here is a little story that came over
the seas in letter from France, which
illustrates better than volumes the
spirit chat is animating the French peo-
pie. A young man was modified the
very first day of the war leaving behind
him his wife, who was soon 10 become
mother.
While he was still in camp, he learned
that a little son had arrived in his home.
Borrowing bicycle and taking the fear
full risk Of being accused of desertion in
wartime, he rode all night and spent an
hour with his wife and baby, returning
20 his post without detection.
From that time on he fought bravely
for France until he was blinded by
shrapnel she'll Now he is back home on
a tiny farm. trying TO pick up the
threads Of his broken life. To a visitor
who saw the mans little son cuddling
against his knee, the poilu said: you
know | saw him. I saw him one time"
That was all--no repining. no com
plant no railing against fate and for
tune but the simple thankful statement
that at least once before the great dark
ness it had been permitted him to see
the boy ne loved
NOW LHdJ Ildu ever quay patriotism,
his love for country, his willingness 10
sacrifice all for France without question,
as typical Of French men and women.
Until we can match this spirit. until
we can resolve to throw all we have and
are into the scales against brutal Ger
man r1ilitarism and despotism. America
will rot be fully awake, will not be doing
her full duty to herself and nations
everywhere that aspire to freedom and
peace.

The Mission of the Pacifist
BY OR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

In spite of the fact that the United
States is at war, lin spite of the fact
that 4 lot of vociferous barking dogs are
making scornful meriment over those
who opposed war. the fact Is that the
majority of the people in this country.
including their President, thank God are
still pacihsts.
That is, they hate war, they go into
war only as a last resort, and they want
to get out of it as soon as possible. Also.
they will not go into war unless they
know what they are fighting for, and
until they are convinced that their cause
is high and noble one, for which a man
may well die.
And the pacihst's usefulness has not
ceased. He was never more needed than
now. What is his duty in rhe present
instance?
1. 1t is his duty to see that this war
is kept true TO the lofty aims which
President Wilson outlined, that We re-
main unselfish generous, and altruistic,
and do not descend now or later into a
nasty scramble for loot OF territory. It's
all right to send our young men to die
that the world shall be made safe for
democracies,' but to gain one foot of
alien land or one dollar of plumber is not
worth one boys life.
2 1t is the pacifst's duty TO stand by
democracy by heartily supporting his
country in this conflict Whether we go
to war is not now debatabe We are in
it. We went into it 10y the vote of the
overwhelming majority of our legally
chosen representatives. To rebel against
their decision is TO emasculate democ-
racy, to rob it of all efficiency Unless
democratic government by its majority
can act as positively and dependably as
kings and autocracies it is merely mob;
it is a nuisance and a menace.
3. The pacifist sees in this war that
destiny is playing into his hand. The
triumph of the allies means peace. per-
manent peace in the couusels Of the
world We wish that end might have
come some other way" But fate has
not so decreed. Hence we adjust our
selves If we can only get world gov
eminent by combining with the worlds
democracies to crush> the menacing au-
tocracies, which program is perpetual
militarsm, so be it, We shoulder our
gun. There's only one way to peace now,
and that is to put out of business the
nefarious criminal triple combination Of
Germany, Austria and Turkey. To talk
of making a peace that will leave these
three highway robbers in world power
is the opposite of pacifsm.
4. You need not be ashamed Of being
pacifist But be a pacifst as George
Washington was pacifist, who went
back to his farm when his job was done;
like Lincoln was a pacifst, who said
"fondly do we hope and fervently do we
pray that this scourge Of war may
speedily pass away; or like Grant was
paciist, who faithfully did his bit, tho
he declared that he never knew of war
where the issue might not have been bet
ter settled some other way.
3. Hold up your head This is pa
cifst's war. It is Sir Galahad who is
called, not the bully and blusterer.
Pacifists also know how 70 die

EMERGENCY CROPS
RECOMMENDED FOR
IMPLANTED FIELDS.

East Lansing, Mich, June l2.-Un-
favorable weather, seed and labor
shortages, failure of seed to germinate,
and host of other afflictions of the
farmer have kept crops off many
Michigan fields this spring. The har-
vest respect might be discouraging in
the sections where this has happened,
say farm crops men of the Michigan
Agricultural College, if it were not for
the fact that there is still time to get in
emergency crops as life savers. I"
Fields may still be seeded to buckwheat
So beans, millet, sorghum, Sudan
grass, rape and flat turnips.
"Where fields are still implanted,
the land should be thoroughly disced
or replowed and planted to crops
which will give a profitable return in
grass or forage" Prof. j. F. Cox, head
of the farm crops department, recon-
mends.
"As late seeded grain crop, buck
wheat fits in best. 1t should be plant
ed in late June, though it can be seed
ed as late as mid-July with assurance
of crop, since it natures in from sixty
to seventy days. 1t has the additional
virtue of thriving in wide variety OF
soils and will germinate in seed beds
too dry for other grains. The rate of
seeding ranges from three to five
pecks, either drilled or seeded broad
cast. and narrowed in.

A Wise Old Custom.

Some gray-headed men who grew up
in New England remember the custom
that prevailed in many families of max
ing boy or girl "clear the plate" or
eat what was left at another meal, be-
fore getting anything else. That Eas
not irrational or cruel. The child Was
permitted to help himself or herself. II
too much was taken the discipline Of
having to eat ii sooner or later was
wholesomely educative. We may get
back to it. Waste is never jY titled in
prosperous families or other families
II is big element in giving children an
utterly false idea Of what makes pros
perits, at least in binding youngsters
to the vitalism of thrift on which all
'aumulation is based. Brooklyn Eagle,

"GOOD ROADS MEETING"

AT an invitation of Mr.. O. ID. Ham,
mond, Chairman of the Board of
County Road Commissioners, State
Highway Commissioner Mr.. Rogers
addressed very representative
audience OF tax payers from all portions
of the County on the evening of the
sixth day of June, at the Court House
in the city of Charlevoix. Mr.. Rogers
address was along the lines of state re-
ward roads and federal aid roads and
was very practical and concrete.
Before arriving at the City of Charlie
voix for the evening meeting, Mr.
Rogers in company with the County
Commissions and State Engineer, Mr.
Nelson, travelled by auto over practi-
cally all of the good roads or state re-
ward roads in the County and in his
opening remarks complimented Char
levoix County on the condition of its
roads at the present time as being, not
only as good as any other road in this
part of the State, but perhaps little
better.
After Mr.. Rogers had treated the
subject of good roads throughout the
State in general way he invited the
audience to ask of him any questions
that he had not already explained. In
the course of these questions il was
brought out that a road from Charlie
voix to Antrim County, known to most
of the people as the Norwood road, and
a part of the Dixie or West Michigan
Pike highway had been reported to the
National government as a part of the
National highway and upon its accep-
tance would be entitled to federal aid
In order to secure this federal aid, the
localities through which a national
highway is laid, must pay at least 25
per cent of cost of the road, all depend
ing upon the assessed valuation Of the
property in the county in comparison
to the number of miles of road. The
lowest valuation in the state provides
that the locality must pay 25 per cent,
the State of Michigan 25 per cent, and
the National government so per cent
of the cost of the construction OF the
road.
In case of the county of Charlevoix
our assessed valuation is such that the
amount to be borne by the County is
35 per cent of the cost Of the highway;
Is per cent to be paid by the State of
Michigan and SO per cent to be paid by
the National government.
Commissioner Rogers advised the
people that it was necessary for them
at the next meeting of their Board OF
Supervisors or sooner if special meet
ing was called, to provide for raising
the 35 per cent of the cost of the Ma
tional highway from Charlevoix to the
Antrim county line He further stated
that this money would be paid into the
State of Michigan, which together with
their Is per cent and the other so per
cent which the State ofMichigan would
advance would build the highway.
After the hi way was completed the
state of :. gan would send the cost
Of the : the FederG govern.
