IA FOLLETTE'S OBSTRUCTION

New York Sun: Senator La Fol-
lette, thwarting by parliamentary
ruse the patriotic purpose Of the SEN
ate to adopt the administration resO-
luton that state of war existed with
Germany, was as mean and ugly a fig
ure as his countrymen have seen in
Washington for a lnog time. Time
was the essence of a situation fraught
with menace and peril to the nation,
but Mr. La Follette's chance to raise
and enforce a point of order is the
spirit of the tabled dog in the mangel
the dog knew no better-the senator
from Wisconsin would not forego.
Robert Marion La Toilette has been
quick and supple to pander to pro-
Germanism in Wisconsin, in unpleas-
ant contrast with his colleague, the
Hon. Paul o. Husting, who has been
jealous in high minded way to show
himself a genuine American and on all
occasions Independent and fearless.
The senior senator seems to prefer
odium as his reward in public life,
and he should have a monopoly of it.

LOOKING Att sQUARELY

Business and agricultural interests
must come to an appreciation of the
fact that all the country confronts an
emergency. The time to deal with
next winters food riots, next winters
proposal for an embargo and other
wild legislation, and next winters de.
mands for higher wages, is now. 1t
it popular idea of late to have sur
vey'' made of any situation of public
concern, and it would be we'll If one
were made this spring of crop pros
poets in Barnes county and every 9TH
er county in the state. The question
of facilitating production comes down
at last to the situation of each farmer.
Does he need anything required for
his work-seed, horse, an imple-
ment, temporary assistance, or even
advice, which a community organiza-
ton might provide? There is much
work, we'll enough at another time,
which may be subordinated this year
to the production of big crop.
II chambers Of commerce, bankers
associations and other local organiza-
lions of the state and community will
take the situation in hand ir forma-
tive way, they can do more to safe
guard the prosperity of the country
than can be done at this time by any
other effort. With resources exhaust.
ed and the world situation what it is,
there is no danger of OVERRIDING pro-
duction, for the largest possible crop
in this country is certain to bring re-
munerative prices.
It must be remembered that If war
ends at any time before the crop of
1918 is harvested there will be great
demand from central Europe on the
crop of 1917-and there is not much
present hope that the will so end.

PRODUCE iNFERTILE EGGS


Washington, April 12.-Tne farmers
of the United States lose each year
large sums because of improper meth
DDS of producing aud handling eggs.
One-tkird at least of this loss is easily
preventable. 1t is due to the partial
Matching of fertile eggs.
The eggs laid by hen may be eth
er fertile or infertile, depending on
whether or not the male bird has
been allowed to run with the female.
A fertile egg is one in which the germ
has been fertilized by the male bird.
Except for this process Of fertiliza-
ton, the male bird has no influence
upon the eggs which the hens lay.
Egg production is equally great in
flOcks from which roOsters are exclud-
ed.
A fertile egg does not keep as we'll
as an infertile one because the fertil-
lied germ responds more readily to
high temperatures than the unfertiliz.
ed one. It is impossible to hatch an
infertile egg or to cause blood ring
to form in one. Such eggs are much
more likely to reach the table in good
condition and there is much less spoil
age in shipments composed entirely
of them than in mixed shipments of
fertile and infertile eggs.
After the Matching season, therefore,
the male birds should be cooked, sold
or confined. In approximately IA
days after this all the eggs laid by the
hens will be infertile. These can be
marketed much more successfully I'M
der the adverse conditions that fire.
quently prevail in the hot summer
months.
Rules for Handling Eggs
Heat is the great enemy of eggs,
both fertile and infertile. Farmers
are urged to follow these simple rules,
which cost nothing but time and
thought and will add dollars to the
poultry yard returns.
l. Keep the nests clean; provide
one nest for every four hens.
2. Gather the eggs twice daily.
5. Keep the eggs in cool, dry
room or cellar.
4. Market the eggs at least twice
week.
5. Sell, kill, or confine all male
birds as soon as the Matching season
is over.

WARREN'S ADDRESS TO THE
AMERICAN SOLDIERS

Stand! The grounds your own, my
braves!
Will We give it up to slaves?
Will We look for greener graves? -,
Hope We mercy still?
What's the mercy despots feel?
Hear it in that battle peal!
Read it on yon bristling steel!
Ask it-ye who will.
Fear We foes who kill for hire?
Will We to your homes retire?
Look behind you! They're a-fre!
And, before you, see
Who have done it! From the vale
On they come! and will We quail?
Leaden rain and iron hail
Let their welcome be!
In the God of battle trust!
Die we may-and die We must;
But o, where can dust to dust
Be consigned so we'll,
AS where Heaven it's dews shall shed
On the martyred patriots bed,
And the rocks shall raise their head
OF his deeds to tell!

When Freedom from her mountain
height
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there.
She MINGLED with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric of the skies.
And striped its pure celestial white
With streakings of the morning light;
Then from his mansion in the sun
She called her eagle bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land.
Flag of the brave! thy folds shall fly,
The sign of hope and triumph high,
When speaks the signal trumpet tone,
And the long line comes cleaning on.
Ere yet the life-blood, warm and wet,
Has dimmed the glistening bayonet, ,
Each soldier eye shall brightly turn
To where thy sky-born glories burn,
And. as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the
glance.
And when the cannon-mouthings loud
Heave in wild wreathes the battle
shroud,
And CORY saters rise and fall
Like shots of fame on midnight's
IL pail,
NJ Then shall thy meteor glances glow,
And covering foes shall shrink be-
meath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger of death.
Flag of the seas! on ocean wave
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave:
When death, careering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail,
And frighted waves rush wildly back
Before the broadside's Keeling rack,
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy splendors fly
In triumph DER his closing eye.
Flag of the free hearts hope and
home.
By angel hands to valor given;
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born il
heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls
before us.
With Freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And Freedoms banner streaming
Ger us;

Irish, Dutch and black face work, as
sisted by a capital company of singers
and dancers. Special scenery and
lighting effect, making the show one
of the best on the road at popular
prices.
"The Monkey Speedway, a "new
show" just out, is tie cleverest show
seer here for some time. The little
monkeys driving high-power automo-
biles, are in a class by themselves.
"Mysteria is a show by itself, and
serds the public away wondering and
guessing.
"The Gold Nugget Dance Hall, is
entertaining large crowds nightly, and
a cleaner and better show is hard to
find.
