out Of his fathers gateway and hur-

being held.
But as he fastened onward his spir-

all, though he had placed hundred
yards between them.
Eyes, and you can bet your bottom

his determined teeth.
Spellbound groups Of unlimited per-
sons, most Of them colored. rested their
forearms upon the rail of the Parch-
ers' picket fence, offering to Williams
view silhouette like that of a crowd
at fire. Beyond the fence bright
forms went skimming, shimmering,
wavering over white platform, while
high overhead the young moon sprayed
a thinner light down through the ma
pie leaves to where professions Of rosy
globes hung floating in the blue night.
Yonder-somewhere in the breath
taking radiance-danced his queen with
all her court about her. Queen and
court, thought William, and nothing
less exorbitant could have expressed
his feeling.

GIVE FARMERS PRACTICAL AID.

If all of the gratuitous advice rendered the farmers
since the food crisis developed were compiled in one work
the Encyclopaedia Brittanca would not hold it. Possibly
there was some sound sense in portions of it. Certainly
the major portion of it has been the merest drivel
1t is not advice that the farmer needs If there s
class OF men IN this nation to-day who are really familiar
with every phase OF their profession it is the farmers
And it often with feeling of amused contempt that thew
read the senseess vapongs of the wseacres who
to instruct them.
What the farmer is in dire need of right now is more
man powar-man power to put into effect the plans he is
perfectly capable of formulating and carrying out if he
has agents to DO his bidding Let him be ever so inte
gentand as rule he IS person of sound sense and
son-he simply CAN NOT cultivate hundred acre farm
by himself. But he CAN utilize THOUSAND acres if
ne has the man power with which to do it, for he already
has the brains.
We should make no mistake in this matter With
practically the world to- feed if this war is won the farm
ers will play an Important part in the winning and all of
the advice from those sacke who have nothing else to
give is not going to help him one whit.
"Can" the advice and offer him work-good sound
muscle and sweatand the farmer will feed the world and
do his "bit" toward winning the war.
The most obvious fact to the farmer is that in +ho
approaching draft and mobilization the first armv 70 he
raised should be army of the burrows and that arnv
should be brought to the burrows from other fields of work
or ideness. And at no time will this need be moro
pressing than on the day of harvest.
The average farmer can extract all the advice he needs
from long life Of experience What will be most effect
i've now is bone and muscle backed by willing mind and
an intelligence that even approaches his own.
Get the man power. The farmer will do the rest

SUCKING THE POOR MANS BLOOD.

Food spectators and price boosters are literally suck
ing the life blood of the poor people of this country and
are pairing to the bone the resources of those in more mod
crate circumstances.
And this in the face of war; and misery, and DEATH
We see much in the press about government regula-
ton OF the question, but no definite action taken
by Congress to authorize such regulation
We read of law officers summoning SPECTATORS and
going before grand ures but we look in vain for convc
tions and Jail sentences.
And in the meantime prices of the very necessities of
lie Keep right on mounting skyward
People who live on noise they make rush into print and
tell us that it is simply question of supply and demand
and that prices will automatically adjust themselves when
the crops are on the market
1t NOT question of supply and demand and prices
Will MOI adjust themselves until the government steps in
with an iron hand and slams every thievng specuaor be-
hnd the bars and keeps them there
II allowed to run at large they will buy up the new
stocks OF provisions they have bought up the old ones
ana prices will be just what they choose to make them
No one expects these reptiles to do anything for the
welfare of their country but they should no longer be al
lowed to drag it down to ruin.
We can not afford internal troubles with foreion
war on our hands, and as loyal American we ask Con-
gress and the government to act and act quickly
The blood OF the poor man is disappearing and in its
wake will come riotng and anarchy
This must be- and only official action can prevent it.

Is 1t 10 Be Wondered At That We
Can't Understand the Germansl

DO Americans understand Ger
mans?
The Germans say we do not.
The Germans are correct.
Few Americans even yet have
the slightest conception of the
ideas which govern Germany.
Many Americans have only lately
come to believe the facts of Ger.
man barbarism. They could not
trust any evidence, so absolutely
impossible did such things as the
Germans have done seem to be
in this twentieth century.
But everything Germany has
done has been done calmly, coollv
and with malice aforetheught.
Germany is not a mad dog foam
ing at the mouth, The nation is
mad, but it is the cool lunacy of
a poisoned brain, not the red fury
of rabies.
To find out what is the matter
with Germany it is necessary to
go to the source of German
ideas-to the thinkers who have
fashioned her ideals for the past
two generations.
Following are some quotations
which tell the tale. They are
the words of the men who have

Battleship Anchored in the Heart
of New York.

Vacation time visitors to New
York City this summer will find
a new point of interest on Broad
way. At the corner of Four
teenth street in Union Square, in
one of the busiest sections of all
Manhatton, there has been plac.
ed a perfect replica of a modern
dreadnaught. 1t has been con-
structed in the center of the park
and looks all the world as if it
had just arrived in port. The
ship, which has been named the
RECRUIT" was built through
the efforts Of Mayor Mitchells
Defense Committee and the con-
tributions of patriotic citizens.
On Memorial Day with appro-
pirate and imposing launching
ceremonies it was turned over by
Mayor Mitchell to Admiral Usher
for the use Of the Navy in re-
cruiting. The ship is manned by
thirty seamen from the Training
Station at Newport, R. l., and is
in command Of officers of the
Navy. 1t is being used exlusive-
ly for recruiting and events that
will stimulate enlisting. All day
long speeches are made to the
crowd of onlookers while on the
main deck men are given infor-
nation, and after qualifying, are
passed on to the examining sur
geons who have offices aboard.
Theturrets are mounted with guns
OF wood that are very formidable
looking while the fighting masts
and several genuine machine
guns add to the realism. The
bridge is equipped with search
lights, signals, semaphores which
are worked every night. The
complete routine Of the ship life
is carried out and throughout the
day and night the RECRUIT" is
surrounded by a crowd of inter
ested watchers. Band concerts
are given nearly every night and
motion pictures of Navy training
and the opportunity it presents
to young men are flashed an a
screen every night. 1t is plan
ned to have a number of interest
ing events occur on deck every
evening, John Philip Sousa, who
has just been made Lieutenant in

first outdoor appearance in New
York as an officer Band Master
