the day may very well come when they
will realize with terror that 1t is too
late and that the German people have

There still remains one point par

of spies and secret agents OF all kinds
are employed by the German govern

neutral countries. Switzerland is no

many of these imperial agents have
apparently received orders TO spread
reports and create the impression that

The Head That Has Become the Price of Peace

wig Hohenlohe had SET down after his
retirement from public life, in order
10 guide the Kaiser in a less dangerous
path and put MIN on MS guard against

opinion, surrounded him.
The book caused tremendous sem
sation in Germany. But its effect on
the Kaiser was altogether different
from what its author and publisher
had hoped. II there is one thing
William II cannot bear it is to hear
the truth. The Emperor fell into q
violent rage. and from that day on
he caused Prince Alexander Hohen-
lohe 20 be persecuted in every possible
way, finally forcing him 20 leave GER
many. The prince went to Paris and
there devoted himself 20 the study Of
art and literature ard the great hu-
manitariGn problems Of our time. Thus
he was already an exile long before

viction that the vast majority Of the
German people, like ell other nations,
believe the only true compensation for
all the horrors and miseries this war
has brought upon humanity would be
the certainty that 10 has been the last
Of its kind. Consequently he rejects
the idea of peace founded on victory
Of the German arms, on violence and
injustice, for this could not be the last

nerve may be kept at 1t twice as long
as horses are ft for service. Mules
can be raised more cheaply than any
other stock, and, unlike horses, will
never founder themselves if by chance
they should have acceS to more feed
than is good for them. They can be
put into the market much sOOne than
horses, and if properly handled, when
two years old, will do as much work
and stand it better, than four-year-Old
colts. Mules are less liable to con-
tract diseases than horses, and their
value is not decreased by blemishes as
Is that of horses. Mules seldom run
away, but when they do they seem
to run more from sport than fright
and generally wind up safely. They
~instinctively avoid holes, obstacles or
dangerous places. They can stand
heat, abuse or hardship better than
horses and can always be relied upon.
They are sensitive as well as sensible
animals, responding quickly to kind
treatment by docility and gentleness.
The great profit in mule raising lies
largely in their growth. Mules grow
so quickly that they are marketable
when three years old, while horse
colts cannot advantageously be sold
under five years. In this way the cost
of feeding and the trouble and risk Of
raising are decreased.
Buyers will always handle good
mules, as the demand for them Is
steady. Where large numbers Of mules
are raised there are always plenty of
mule buyers In that section Of the
country. Buyers do not go where there
are no mules to sell. In time Of war
mules are always in great demand and
bring good prices owing to their pow
ers Of endurance.
Comparing cattle with mules, one
steer will eat as much al two mules.
AS compared with swine, IL the same
amount of feed that Is fed to a bunch
of hogs Is fed to mules IL will not take
long to find which makes the most
money, aside from the fact that there
Is no risk from cholera.

LIKE AJAX AND ACHILLES
Individual Proves in This War Counts
for as Much as It Did In Days
Of Ancient Greece.

Individual prowess counts for as
much rs 1t did in the days of ancient
Greece, Waldemar Kaempffert writes
in McClure's. Names will stand out in
the history of this war like those of
Ajax and Achilles In the epic of Ho-
mer. Lieutenants Immelmann and
Boelke on the German side have
brought down nine and ten adversaries
in mortal combat. Their exploits are
.ttnged with a chivalric glamour which
seems anything but modern.
When Boelke landed to aid an enemy
whom he had wounded he was greeted
with the comment: "Since It is I'm
melmann who beat me, l am satisfied"
When the German replied that it was
'only BOelke," the interchange of COM
pliments seemed like q parley between
Hector and Ajax.
The analogy between HOmer's battles
and twentieth century aerial cOmbats
extends even TO the vehicles used.
What is a flying machine but the an
cient war chariot soaring on wings? In
many an encounter two man machines
still battle for supremacy-One man
an observer, the other a pilot. The OBJ
server is the fighting hero of old, WELD
ing a machine gun instead of a sword
the pilot his faithful chariOteer.
Carry the analogy still further and
consider how much is at stake when
battle plane meets battle plane. The
fate of an ancient army depended on
a prince in his war chariot; the fate
of any army corps now hangs on the
information cleaned by a victorious
flier.

HEALTHY CHICKS GROW FAST

Sanitary to Prevent Disease
Get Rid Of Vermin.

Every effort must be made to keep
the coopS and houses of little chicks
clean and sanitary. Disease most fire.
quently starts in unclean, poorly venti-
lated houses. Clean the house at least
once a week. Sand or litter of some
kind scattered over the floor of the
house will assist In keeping it clean.
When chicks are confined to a limited
range, 1t Is well to spade up the ground
ut frequent intervals, so as to provide
fresh ground for them to scratch in. If
lice are found, every effort must be
made to get rid of them, by applying
a small portion of a mixture of equal
parts Of vaSeline and lard to the top
of the head and around the vent. Sick

LIGHT HORSESHOE is IDEAL
Keeps Foot Level and Takes Greater
Pressure From Toe-Owner Thus
Lessons Grain Bill.

The ideal horseshoe is one which Is
light, consistent with a months wear.
This will keep the foot level instead
as is the case with a heavy shoe and
heels-Of putting the greater pressure
on the toe. Very careful examination
and calculation has proved that If a
four-pOund shoe is used-as is some
times the case on heavy horses-a
horse, in an ordinary days work lifts
81 tons on each foot, or 20S tons in all
more than is necessary. This, of course,
involves a needless expenditure of mus
cular energy, and more feed is needed
to keep the animal In proper condition.
With q lighter shoe the owner would
not only relieve the horse, but lessen
his grain bill.

of this type contains a number of dis
