Why not discard the term "pacifist"
and revert to that more opprobrious
and therefore more fitting name
"copperhead" to designate those who,
taking counsel of their supine cow
ardice- at time when not only the
inherent right of self-protection but
national honor and every other decent
instinct of humanity cries out for re-
sort to force of arms-the only ar
gument that can conceivably appeal
to Teutonic Kulture? Old soldiers
know their reptilian prototype, can
thoroughly appreciate the aptness of
the name to be applied to these coldly
venomous enemies of their country.
Born of the slime and ooze of swamps
the copperhead borrows the poison
GUS hues of the rot and filth of its
environment. With this protective
color to conceal itself it creeps forth
to lie under foot and strike at the
unweary passer-by; or. preferably
basks near the campers fire and sinks
its fangs into the head that has sup
piled the warmth to comfort it. Thus
the human copperhead loves the COM
fort and protection of the law and
even emits a strident outcry when
the Government fails to exert force
sufficient to protect its precious self
yet, If it does not openly consort with
our foes, it is all the more dangerous
reptile to have about. Better the
warning of the rattler, followed by
swift and courageous attack, than the
masked and hidden treachery of the
copperhead.

The potato bug is a German sympa-

But above all, get that bug. If you let

ORIGINAL AMERICANS

Application has been made by a
representative of the Blackfoot tribe
of Indians for the acceptance and
recognition in the regular army for
the contest upon which the United
States has entered. 1t is an interest
ing evidence of the extent to which
the American idea has entered and
controls our diverse population. Coupl
ed with this offer, as stated, is the
suggestion that people thus disposed
should be admitted to the privilege
of citizenship. Why not? TO bear
arms in defence of the Government is
an essential duty of all the citizens
of a Republic, and when this is vol
UNFAIRLY assumed it must go far to
assure the worth of their loyalty.
Moreover, when the matter of race
is considered, our Indians hold place
as representing the original American
blood. They would be fighting for
ancestral memories.

Is 1T CIVILIZATION?

The effects of civilization on, The
birth rate are most surprising, sc
much so that one is almost compelled
to stop and inquire whether ciViliZa-
tiOu is really all that it is cracked
up to be. In our New England states,
the home of culture and the very hot
bed of civilization, the birth rate has
fallen off more than one-half in the
past century so that 1t is now be-
low the death rate. If these figures
show anything it is that high state
of civilization is inimical to the race,
and that modern culture tends to
physical degeneracy. The era of large
or of reasonable large families, seems
to pass away with the advent of civ
ilization and culture.
There has been a good deal of phil
osophizing over this, and various
reasons have been assigned, the fav-
orite one being that the quality of
the children is so much improved that
fewer are necessary. And yet the
fact stands out everywhere that the
better men and women of the world
come from large families. The con-
clusion of some leading sociologists
that it is because the modern woman
tries to shun motherhood is more
commonly, accepted as the true cause.

Continue as long as practicable the
cultivation of corn which is to be fol
lowed by wheat to keep down weeds

Cut and shock the corn in rows as
soon as It is sufficiently mature.
Disk thoroly both corn land and cow
pea land as soon as the crop is in the
shock and lime scattered.
If the land is in danger of washing,
use the subsoil pillow once under the
row and once in each middle before
disking
If turn-plow is necessary, disk well
before turning.
Applying Limestone.
If limestone is available, use it.
Have the lime nearly ready foE scat
tering when the crop is shocked.
In the absence of distributor, place
the lime in small piles in straight rows
In corn land, place the piles in about
every twelfth corn rowwith the piles
about twelve steps apart in the row.
Throw about a wheelbarrow load in
each pile, using as nearly as possible
a ton to each half-acre. Use about the
same distribution for pea land Scat
ter uniformly from piles with shOyels
This is not as tedious as it may seem
at first If the soil is too loose, roll
before seeding. Sow one and one
fourth bushel of well-cleaned wheat OF
standard variety.
