COMMEMORATE WORK.

No patriotic citizen eager to do all
that the stay at homes may 40 TO
help win the war, can fail heartily to
commend the work being carried for
ward by the library war council, re-
Gently appointed by Secretary of War
Newton D. Baker. This work is to
raise in conjunction with the Ameri-
can Library association $l,0O0,00O for
the erection and establishment OF
equipped libraries for the camps, can
tonments, the field hospitals, the troop
ships; wherever our soldiers and sail
ors are gathered together. 81
Popular subscriptions for this work
are coming in so readily that it is
plain that in spite of the 100000, 900
Red Cross fund, the tobacco fund, cost
of the Y. NJ. C. A. activities and 9th
ers, American generosity, stimulated
by sense of duty, has by no means
reached its limits.
When the German army took the
field, each army corps had travelling
libraries as part of its material. Great
Britain and France have provided fit
reading matter for their soldiers,
through various societies. Through
the appointment of the library war
council by the secretary of war, with
Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the
National City bank Of New York, as
chairman, the American task of pro-
viding libraries takes on an official
character, though the work will be
that entirely Of volunteers.
Not a penny of the money sub
scribed will be used in the expenses
of the library campaign; that cost has
been met by private subscription. The
libraries, the books, the service will
be the gift of the American people;
and in such a cause as this it were
we'll to remember that "he gives
twice who gives quickly"

Another Foolish Canard

The government is not going to
take over food supplies from any fam

cultural department of the North Da-
kota agricultural college that rumors
have been spread in some sections to
the effect that the government Will
take from families all canned goods
in excess of 100 quarts. Denial OF this
rumor has been issued by the depart

In some sections it is rumored that

food so that it would be in conven'

THE CASE OF LAFOlLETTE.
(Aberdeen NeWS.)

The civil war had, it's Vallandigham.
The great war has its LaFollette.
The News has never been much Of
an admirer of LaFollette In the days
when the Wisconsin senator was as
sured by the political powers that
he was the choice of South Da-
kota republicans for the presiden-
tial nomination, the News expressed
doubt if that were the case, and doubt
of the wisdom of that choice if it
should be made. Fortunately for
South Dakota the powers that were
afterward reconsidered, and the colo
mel, instead of the Wisconsin senator,
was chosen.
The News, in common with many
other conservative newspapers, has in
times past questioned the wisdom of
some Of the things the Wisconsin SEN
ator has advocated. 1t deemed him
visionary, dreamer of dreams, i'm
practical, even though shrewdly look
ing after his own political fortunes.
But it believed him essentially patri-
otto, lover OF his country, devoted
to it's interests, as he saw them
OF late years, particularly since
1912, disappointed ambition has en-
Uttered LaFollette, as it has embit-
tered many a man more brilliant and
more able, in the course of American
political history.
But the News questions if any, even
the strongest, most strenuous Oppon-
ents of I.aFollette and his political
vagaries ever doubted his genuine pa
triotism-un:il the time came when it
was essential to the well being of the
country and the future of America

Some, when questioned in regard to
their canning say that they are not
canning any more for fear that the
government take it away from them.
The federal authorities state that they
have never had any intention of TAX
ing any food from any family. The
agricultural extension department, the
department of agriculture and the
food administration have been strong
ly urging the canning and preserva-
ton of foods so that each family

AUSTRIA REPLIES TO THE POPE.

After waiting many weeks, the en-
peror of Austria has finally replied to
the proposal of the pope regarding
peace. One of the most noticeable
things in the reply is that he has been
made to swallow the sham German
freedom of the seas" dope.
1t has always been puzzle just
exactly what the Teuton rulers meant
by freedom of the seas. Before the
war they certainly had all the freedom
they could legitimately expect. Ships
flying the German flag rode in every
harbor They competed with the Bri-
fish all over the globe.
There were sections OF the seas
where they had practically driven out
all opposition. They had carried Ger
man made goods to every port in the
world. There was no attempt by any
nation to deny them every right they
could expect.
1t remained for the Germans them
selves to deny the freedom of the seas
to other people. The kaisers boldly
assumed the Atlantic and the Mediter-
ranean were their seas, and that no
one could float a vessel there without
obtaining royal permission.
When Kaiser Karl speaks of the
moral force of right and the rule of
international justice and legality his
effrontery is even more mOnstrous.
There has never been a time in the
past so years when the force of right
was observed by the German and
Magyar rulers of the dual empire.
They have substituted might for right.
They have cruelty oppressed all the
so-called subject races.
The Czechs, the Slovaks, the Serbs,
the CrOats, the SlOvenes, the Ruthen
ians, the Rumanians have all sent up
the same despairing cry. They have
seen their schools closed, their bust
ness ruined, their rights flouted, JUS
tice denied them in the courts, ade-
quate representation in the parlia-
ment stolen from them, taxes multi
piled, service in the army demanded
out of all proportion.
The jails and prisons of the dual
empire have for years been filled with
those unfortunates who were foolish
enough to dream of independence for
their subject nationalities. The gal
lows have been busy.
The United States, which stands for
the square deal, which believes gov
eminent should exist only by the con-
sent of the governed, which has never
thought might makes right, which has
taken its stand in favor of the little
peoples of the earth, cannot afford to
enter into any peace negotiations at
the present time, which would be a
mere Teutonic peace trap. q. e..
The two kaisers have so far shown
only yearning for peace on their own
terms. But peace on their own terms
would mean dire defeat for the de-
mocracies of the world.

RATS IN THE CHICKEN YARD
Mixture of cornmeaI and White Lead
Successfully Used at Missouri
Experiment Station.

(By H. L. KEMPSTER, Missouri AgTi-
cultural Experiment Station)
Rats cause great losses in many
poultry yards, but at the Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture we have had no
trouble in getting rid of them by pois-
oning with a mixture of two parts
cornmeal and one part sugar of lead.
The hand should not come in contact
With the poison feed, and all other
feeds should be removed so the rats
cannot get them.
The poisoned feed may be Kept away
from the chickens by putting 1t in a
tray, nailed to the middle of the bot
tom of box at least a foot square
and six inches high. The box should
be closed on all sides except for Il
number of inch and a half holes bored
through the sides near the bottom
Burn or bury the dead rats so that
chickenssfHnnot eat them. The de-
cayed flesh Of even Imprisoned rats
is likely to cause Timber neck, as
ptomaine poison is called in chickens.

SOIL SUITABLE FOR PASTURE
Many Fields Have Been impoverished
by Growing Field Crops and
Selling Products.

The pasture land need not be land
suitable for nothing else. The prac-
tice of using only rough land worth
less for field crops as pasture has
been so common that some have the
idea that level highly fertile soil can
not be used for pasture.
Whether or not land can be used
for pasture depends upon its value,
the amount of grazing it will produce
and the prices received for the live
stock raised on the grass. There are
many who could afford to use their
good land for pasture. Some would
find it profitable to use a portion of
their land now devoted exclusively to
field crops, if for no other purpose, to
build it up.
Many farms have been impover-
ished by growing field crops and sell
ing the products. Even the weeds
that nature persuades the soil to let
grow are burned and all vegetable
matter destroyed. Such lands might
be converted into pasture for few
years with satisfactory results, if good
stock was kept
