Wild Geese Fly South
Mean Weather Change

A large flock of wild geese flew
over Palisade going southwest about
6.10 a. m. on Monday last. They
made almost a complete letter v,
which is not an unfrequent method of
formation for these wild birds in
flying. An observer who saw them
remarked to another who was near,
"Well, that is sure sign the
winter is over"
"You are wrong" said his COM
panion. "Those birds are going south
because there is more cold coming"
Anyhow, that is the way with peo-
pie. Anybody should know that when
wild geese fly one way or the other
there is going to be a change of
weather soon.

West PQlisade Has
Able Thinker Who
Says Bright Things
Stealing Our Thunder

The metropolitan and other papers
have taken up the question of pre-
serving the birds by muzzling the
cats. This shows that they have
been reading the "Palisadian" and
that these appeals are having due
effect. One of the leading scientists
is gathering statistics to show how
much milk is used in supporting the
cat population that should be used to
raise calves on, and to abolish the
veal industry to that extent. Cats
are most useful in towns where there
are more mice than birds. AS ami
mated mouse-traps they cannot be
replaced.

Evil of Idle Land

Who would have thought that the
submarine danger would have taught
Great Britain the evil of the private
ownership of land? Logically, why
should the owners of those magnifi-
cent English parks be obliged to
pillow them up and turn them into
wheat fields?

this. 1t was the growing threat of
famine, and the realization of the
fact, that land cannot be held out of
use for speculative purposes, or for
idle amusement without national dis
aster, and this is as true in times of
peace as in times of war.

Enlist, Young Men!

The young men of military age
who neglect, or refuse to volunteer
for service in the army or navy in
this time of the country's need show
that they have been brought up to
look out for number one, and to close
their eyes to number one hundred
and ten million. Fortunately there
are none of this degenerate type liv-
ing in West Palisade, for every young
man here has offered himself in some
capacity or other.

A snake is longer over his meals

hear of one getting an attack of in

it may not be. 1t is something to

again must any nation which has sent its
sons to the United States TO enjoy the lib
erty and prosperity of America, to share
in free institutions and free speech, believe
that it can with profit use these sons to
break down American institutions, destroy
American liberty.
In very real sense, then, the combat OF
1917 is analogous to that Of 1S61-l865
Then we fought disunion that was inside
then we fought to preserve the integrity
Of the nation against an attack that came
from one portion of the American nation,
wholly without association with any for
eign nation. To-day we fight new at
tempt to destroy the unity Of the country
which comes from without, is merely the
local response to a foreign direction. Half
century ago we fought to preserve the
nation from the consequences of domestic
revolt. to-day we are at war TO preserve
the country from destruction threatened
from abroad
1t may be necessary, as Mr.. Root said,
to shoot some one in America. If it is, this
should be done. But the real place for
shooting is in Europe. The American
troops who fight on French soil fight for
American unity Enthusiastically and newt
ably. Germany has invaded us, and it is log
ical and it is proper that we should, in our
turn, invade Germany. We shall not seek
by any other agency than our troops to
destroy the German government, which has
threatened our national life by every form
of treachery, corruption, by every mean,
cowardly and contemplate device, by de-
ceiving the idealist and by purchasing the
assassin. For more than two years the
French statesman, NJ. Clemenceau, an
swered all talk of peace with the single
scntence-"The Germans are at Noyon."
Shall we be less determined when the Ger
mans are in Washington, New York, all
over America, when German recruiting
agents are mobilizing every possible
agency for disruption within the United
States in obedience to orders coming from
Berlin? Americans as a nation are pre-
pared to fight until Belgium is evacuated,
but it is not less necessary, less vital to
our national existence that we should fight
on until the United States is evacuated.

Air Raid Dermatitis

or James Seoueird In The London Morning Po'D
On Tuesday, June 26th. 1917, saw at the
London Hospital fourteen cases of severe
dermatitis due to contact with powder from
bombs dropped in the East End of London
on Wednesday, the 18th of June. The ma
jority of the patients were workpeople hand
ling material which had been impregnated
with dust from the explosive. In two cases
the feet were affected through irritant mat
ter in the streets. In one case simply
handling powder picked up was the cause.
The characters Of the eruption were exactly
similar in all cases. On the hands, the
palms. and fingers were stained deep
orange color, and the infamed area vas
covered with closely set vesicles, in some
instances continent. The condition reminded
one of a severe pompholyx. The hands were
very swollen, and movement was impaired.
The patients complained of intense burning
ard irritation A point Of special interest
is that the vascular dermatitis began IN
nearly every instance on the ninth day after
the first contact with the powder ] hope
20 describe the progress of the cases in d.
tail but venture to send this note as warn
ing that il is dangerous to handle the powder
or any material impregnated with the pow
der. In some of the patients the condition
is already septic.

AHymn for Airmen

Within Thy gracious arms, Lord,
The pilots Of the sky enfield,
And as in far-felt, safe accord
Thou dost Thy starry hosts uphold.
So be TO these, Thy servers there,
A Guide, a Savior, in the air.
We pray Thee, nerve each wondrous thew
And keep to true each marvlous eye,
Undue with courage through and through
These princes of the mystic air.
And crown them with Thy glory there
These victors of the valiant Air.

Destructive Power Of Big Guns

FroHl Popular Science
Il is not easy to understand what the power
Of gun really is-its penetrating and de-
structive power. What We call a l5-inch
gun-which means one whose muzzle or hnl-
low part is fifteen inches in diametcr-will
hurl shell right through a plate or wall
of the hardest steel twelve inches thick
seven miles from the muzzle. The power Of
the largest land guns ever made-the Ger
man howitzers or 16.5-inch guns-is such
that one Of their missiles cracks open a steel
and concrete fort as if it were a nut There
are two classes Of guns-naval guns and
army or land guns. Because they can be
manipulated more easily than those OF a
ship, lard guns are the heavier. From eight
TO ten miles is the greatest distance that a
gunner can cover successfully at sea. The
largest naval gun is the l5-inch English gun
on the famous superdreadnought and the
largest land gun is the German howitEer.
or the two the naval gun fires projectile n
ton in weight. But the new giant l6-inch
guns Of the United States defending the
Panama Canal and New York at Sandy Hook
shoot projectilcs weighing 2,37O pounds,
which Is over a ton.

Heat
From The Lyric

~ rom Inc LDftcl
Across the light, fash of wings;
Across the leaves, a wheeling throng;
The birds are silent in the trees,
But swallows rapidly curve and pass
Within the sultry, MINDLESS sky,
A prism palptant with light.
Flaming and drunken June
Holds all the earth within its grasp,
The crimson globes Of roses sway
Dense-clustered, by the garden wall;
And still hold you, spite Of death,
And spite of everything that stood
Between our hearts but yesterday
Across the clouds, thunderous growl
Across the dark, fash of fire,
see and hold and know you still,
And my desire is but to be
A rose that breaks itself and falls
In crimson fakes of ecstacy.
Dark, threatening thunderclouds
Roll high above the moaning leaves,
The grass is ready for the scythe,
With ox-eyed daisies standing high
Above the heavy seeded heads;
But in the night, the stars alone. apart,
Like great ship lanterns left becalmed al
night,
Ride past the yelled and hazy earth
That like a scented cloud appears
Across the grasses, heat that breaks;
Across the roses, heat that pours
Deep. dying perfume to the air.
I, too, am filled with the high sun;
This is our great midsummer noon,
A cup to take up. II is ours;
Ours to drink utterly or to spill.
AS spill the blazing crimson rose
It's petals, in one shattered fall.

After-Days

From tn, poetry Peric,o Of London
When the last gun has long withheld
Its thunder, and it's mouth is sealed,
Strong men shall drive the furrow straight
On some remembered battlefield.
untroubled they shall hear the loud
And gusty driving Of the rains,
And birds with immemorisl voice
Sing as Of old In leafy lanes.
The stricken, tainted soil shall be
Again a fowery paradise
Pure with the memory Of the dead
And purer for their sacrifice.

Red Tape Versus Ordinary Sense
,From The Medical Record

From The McdiCGi hcC0fdD
very large number of the registrants
between the ages of q and 81 who have been
drafted are manifestly exempt; many others
claim and probably will be granted exemption.
Nevertheless, every drafted man must first
be examined medically. The medical exam
iners are working without pay, losing much
Of their practice temporarily, animated sole
~ by motives of patriotism. Yet they must
in many instances waste hours and days of
their precious time examining men who will
probably If not surely be exempted later.
ut takes thirty minutes or more to exam
inc each man properly Another instance:
A young man within the registration age
enlisted in the navy, passed satisfactory
physical and mental examination, and was
made a quartermaster. His number was called
in the draft and now he is notified by the
provost marshal generals Office to present
himself for examination, "as the rules re-
auire examination even when the regis
trants are in the service" The Official Bull
letin of August | contains a notice from
Provost Marshal General Crowder that med
lea! students who are drafted cannot be ex-
empted, and this despite the medical famine
in England and France due to just such folly.

serve German purpose.
We are no longer united country, and
we shall not again be united until we have
put a term to this attempt from without
to destroy our national integrity. We can
not and we shall not abolish free speech or
o free press, we shall not become German
TO escape a German peril. But since we
will not do this, there is only one thing we
can do, and that is to send our men and
our money to Europe, to mobilize our num-
hers and our wealth and to fight this Ger
man policy and method until the German
government which employs them is de-
feated and either destroyed or compelled
to renounce chem.
In any recapitulation of American war
aims this question should not be over
looked. The German has invaded this
country, not with armies as he invaded
Belgium. He has committed crimes
against the peace and safety Of the United
States, but not as he did against France.
Not by the franker and Drawer method of
open warfare has the German attacked US.
But he has by intrigue by corruption, by
Vaccinations endeavored to destroy the
unity Of this nation as he successfully at
tackled the unity and safety of Russia. He
has fastened upon each free institution, he
has taken advantage Of each inheritance
Of liberty and he has made it the engine
Of his own propaganda and purpose.
This is only one phase Of the German
idea, but it is dangerous, deadly phase.
II is only one OF the many menaces Ger
manism has for the nations Of the earth,
but Russia demonstrates how great it is.
And for our own safety, unity, future, we
mus, fight this menace 10 the end Never
