A very prominent lawyer lived in
Ohio during the civil war. He was
a pacihst, that is, he would be if he
were alive and talked today as he did
then His neighbors called him
"copperhead' The government pro-
posed TO send him south across the hos
tile lines, but Valandigham, the gen
tleman referred to, FASTENED to Con
ada, where he stayed until the trouble
was owe Perhaps a threat to send
a few pacihsts to Germany aboard an
unarmed American ship might cause
them to follow Valandigham's exam
pie and seek a safer haven.

No more deadly agent for the trans
mission OF disease exists than the
fly. Nothing is more offensive to the
fly than cleanliness. Bred i'll filth,
its fecundity enables each fly to pro
duce billions of offspring. Each time
one is killed early in the season, these
frightful numbres are avoided. Mil
lions of dollars are spent annually
fighting diseases spread by the fly, and
thousands OF valuable lives are lost
But slight expenditure of money and
energy will expel the fly Fight the
fly and save the child.
The acclaim with which one side
hail the American declaration OF war
with Germany, and the derogatory re
marks of the other side, are but in
dicative of the old saying that money
constitutes the chief sinew OF war
The stupendous sums to be raised III
this country for loans as well as fo1

may be somewhat unprepared with AT
army and navy, yet the United States
is formidable foe and a valuable
ally.

immigrant, and had fully realized the
hope of finding land of true freedom
and opportunity" Such as he do moi
have to be reminded that they tool
the oath of allegiance.
Attorney General Gregory is cred
tied with the statement that the mum
Der of Germans arrested throughout
the United States for seditious ut
terances has been gratifyingly small
1t is also stated that less than seventy
have been taken into custody. If cv
cry man not of German extraction
who has shown disrespect to the fag
lately, were apprehendcd, the number
would probably be greater
Most men who train and study t.
quail fly themselves for a profession or
a skilled trade, at some period Of
their carer, get discouraged and arr
prone to advise beginners to seel
some other vocation 1t looks very
much as if a number Of kings are get
ting in that same frame of mind and
are preparing to advise friends anf
relatives to seek some other occupa
ton.
The use of machinery on the farm
in place of horses will conserve the
supply of feed used by the horse whicl
will increase the supply for meat pro
ducing animals Necessity educates
people, and they will learn more rap
idly than ever that conservation con
stitutes the most important part q
production. Self propelling machin
cry saves more than labor
Next to the food question, the ne
cesity of good roads throughout the
country is of grave import. Good
roads not only will avail in the mo
