Why We Are at War.

Some people think this world
is big enough to hold anything.
1t is not. Any number of things
could aforementioned which it has
not room for. Certainly it is
not big enough to hold the nation
the United States of America as
pires to be and the nation the
German Empire aspires to be.
This nation is, as Lincoln said,
a republic dedicated to the propo-
sition that all men are free and
equal. Despite all its failures
and shortcomings it aspires to de-
velop along these lines-to be-
come a more democratic nation
as it becomes a greater nation; to
lead other nations, by the force
of its example, to become free
and strong and self-sustaining.
With all its record of wars and
conflicts. its ideal is peace. The
one thing it values more than
peace is justice.
The German Empire is the last
great stronghold of the doctrine
of divine rights" Of the belief
that some men are appointed by
God to rule over the rest of man.
kind. 1t aspires, even as Caesar
and Genghis Khan and Napolean
aspired, to world domination. 1t
is based on a belief in force For
two generations it has subordi-
mated everything to military eff
ficiency. The right of the Ger
man Empire to dictate to other
nations is an accepted part of its
creed. The use of any measure
of force or brutality that will en-
able it to do so is openly proclaim
ed as a national policy.
Two such nations could not con-
tinue to exist and to grow in a
world no larger than ours. A
clash was inevitable. The world
cannot remain half democratic
and half autocratic.
This, in a few words, is why
we are atwar. Southern Agri-
culturist.

The Town is Alright. Are You?

If you want to live in the kind of a
town
Like the kind of town that you
like,
You needn't slip your clothes in grip
And start on long, long hike
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really
It's knock at yourself when you
knock your town,
1t isn't the town--it's YOU.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else get ahead.
When everyone works and nobody
shirks
You can raise town from the dead.
And if, while you make your personal
stake,
Your neighbor can make one, too,
Your town will be what you want to
see;
1t isn't the town-it's YOU.

Promising New Fruit.

The behavior of seeding Chinese
litchi tree in California, which is
now about Ia years old. and of in
arched trees in Florida, now z years
old, indicate that there are areas in
Florida and California where this
unusual fruit tree may be expected to
live and bear if the young plants can
be protected or at least escape severe
frosts until they become thoroughly
established. The fruit produced by
the experimental trees, according to
the specialists of the department who
have been working for its introduce
ton, is excellent and its appearance
and shipping quality are certain to
insure ready sale on the fresh fruit
market The fresh ltchi is superior
to the dried so-called litchi nut, 4"

POOR NORTH IDAHO!

Moscow Post: Reviewing the po-
litical situation in the state the Pend
d'Oreille Review of Standpoint calls
attention forcibly to the raw deal
north Idaho is getting in the distri-
button of state officers.
Just notice this: Governor Alex
ander is from Boise; Attorney General
Walters is from Caldwell, near by;
Secretary of State Dougherty is from
Richfield in the same section; State
Auditor Van Deusen is from Boise
All of these are from south Idaho and
they control the land board, the
state board of equalization and every
other important board and commits
sion in the state government. The
only representation that north Idaho
has on any of these important boards
is Miss Ethel E. Redfield, the super
intendent of public instruction, and
as she is of the Republican faith,
she will have nothing whatever to dc
with the shaping of politics.
Watever north Idaho gets under
the present Democratic administration
it will get through charity; not be.
cause is in position to demand.

now imported annually could be Sc

In 1914 the Animal Husbandry Di-
vision of the Bureau of Animal Indus

canvassed crop reporters in SO states
in reference to sheep on farms. The
replies indicated that the number could
be increased $50 per cent without dis
placing other animals. 1t is to our
settled areas, particularly in the Cen
trail, Southern, and Eastern States,
that we must look for an increase in
the number of sheep.

BENEFIT OF PROSPEROUS NEWS.
PAPER TO COMMUNITY.

Time was in this country when
the newspaper was looked upon as a
sort of community ward Not too
many years ago the country news
paper was regarded as pawn Of some
prominent citizens as sort of organ
to further their political and financial
interests.
In recent years, however, the
country newspaper has come to be
recognized for its own worth to the
community much in the same light as
the butcher, the baker, the merchant,
the banker, or what not.
A country newspaper today main
tains its position in the rank accord
ing to the measure of its industry and
intelligence. 1t is regarded by most
people as an entity sufficient unto it.
self and its community. 1t is the
captain Of its own destiny.
This has been brought about through
an awakening of most men who en-.
gage in the country newspaper bust
ness to the fact that the country
newspaper publisher has an important
task to perform, not alone to his com,
munity, but equally AS well To him
self and family.
Speaking along this line in a recent
address in a nearby state, M. !
Forker, country newspaper publishel
saiu:

States at which there is no inspector
licensed under the United States grain

culture under the act to send report

tion of grain shippers by the Office OF

MAKE YOUR Waste LAND

If American farmers will follow the
British custom, the INDUSTRY can be
put on profitable and permanent
basis. The greater number of sheep
in Great Britain are raised in the
hills and on land comparable to much
of the waste land" of American
farms. The areas in this country,
especially IN the East and in parts of
the South, now relatively little used,
can profitaoly be devoted to sheep pro-
duction if the farmer will secure the
proper breed Of sheep.
Sheep also can be made profitable
on higher priced land, as British ex-
