evitably set it's mark from the frs
alike upon our minds, our industries
our commerce, our politics, and ou
social action. TO be Indifferent t,
it, or independent Of it, was out of tn
question. And yet, all the while w
have been conscious that we were no
part of it. In that consciousness, de
spite many divisions, we have draw
closer together.
Deeply Wronged.
We have been deeply wronged upo1
the seas, but we have not wished tt
wrong or injure in return; have re
tanned throughout the consciousness:
of standing in some sort apart, inten
upon an interest that transcends the
immediate issue of the war itself. As
some of the injuries done us have
become intolerable, we still have beer
clear that we wished nothing for our
Selves, that we were ready to demand
for all, mankind-fair dealing, justice
the freedom to live and be at ease
against organized wrong.
Fortity Peace.
1t is in this spirit and with this
thought that we have grown more and
more aware, more and more certain
that the part we wished to play was
the part of those who mean to vindi
cate and fortify peace. We have been
obliged to arm ourselves to make good
our claims to certain minimum of
right and of freedom, of action. We
stand firm in armed neutrality, since
it seems that in no other way we can
demonstrate what it is we insist upon
and cannot foregO. ,...,
May be Drawn On.
eve may even be drawn on, by cir
cumstances, not by our own purpose
or desire, to a more active assertion
of our rights as we, see them, and
the immediate association with the
great struggle itself. But nothing will
alter our thought or purpose. They
are too clear to be obscured. We are
too deeply rooted in the principle of
our national right, to be altered. We
desire neither conquest nor aeNan
tage. We wish nothing that can be
had only at the cost of another peo-
pie. We have always professed un-
selfish purpose, and we covet the op-
portunity to prove that our profess
sions are sincere.
Many Things to Do.
"There are many things still to do
at home, to clarity our own politics
and give new vitality to the industrial
processes of our own life, and we
shall do them as time and opportunity
serves, but we realize that the great
est thing that remains to be done
with the whole world for the stage,
and in cooperation with the wide
universal forces of mankind, and we
are making our spirits ready for those
things. They will follow in the i'm
mediate wake of the war itself and
will set civilization up again. We are
provincials no longer. The tragical
events of the 30 months of vital tur-
moil through which we have just
passed have made us citizens of the
world.

will be profitable this year because
they will be sought after more than
eyer before. They were profitable
last year as may be seen by what
was accomplished by Mr.. J. C. Lam.
living in the Quincy neighborhood.
From his patch of about one acre.
Mr.. Lam sold q surplus of $75 of
sweet potatoes. Also he planted
peas in his eighteen acre field Of corn
and sold the yield of peas alone for

half or double more this fall than
they brought last year.
