DAY OF REVOLUTIONS PAST
Education Must Take the Place of the
Antquated Methods of Making
Changes in Government.

The machine gun and the high ex-
plosive shell have ended the days of
successful revolutions, according to
Stanley j. Weyman, the English au-
thor of "The House of the Wolf "a
Gentleman of France" and Under the
Red Robe" According to Mr.. Wey-
mans view no rebellion by the peo-
pie can ever hope to be successful in
the larger nations now.
against the muskets and cannon of
old days naked hands and makeshift
weapons could prevail if fury lent
strength and numbers were sufficient.
But today, when half dozen machine
guns, handled by twice as many ex-
perts, can NOW down hundreds in a
minute; when even single high-ex-
plosive shell can wreck half village,
when everything that has to do with
these weapons, with the munitions
that feed them, and the airplanes that
guide them, is technical to a degree,
of what avail are the scattered rifles
and barricades of the people, the regi-
ments hastily levied and scantily
armed? OF none. Before the muzzles
of few machine guns the toilers of
Client and Liege and Antwerp, cities
famed in the past for their turbulence,
are hurried into slavery well-nigh un-
resisting.
"For they know resistance to be
hopeless. And so it is, and must be.
AS long as a mere handful of men
trained in the use of these engines
remains faithful, despotism may sit
secure, be the people never so impa-
tient. Only from outside, only by the
use of equal weapons, only by other
nations, can the yoke be broken and
the people be freed"

evidenced by the really serious invi-
tation of Miss Kendall to have the
writer come in some Thursday or
Friday afternoon and partake of
some Of this school baked food. She
tells us some Of these children will
know how to feed a household when
the time comes for them to do so.
Then Miss Herlong teaches the chill
dren of the 9th and 7th grade to
sew and do fancy needle work, of
which there are some pretty samples
on exhibition. In another room is a
fairly well-equipped carpenter shop
the manual training department un-
der direction of Mr.. Wheatley, where
the boys are taught to use tools.
They too have been doing some Won
derfully clever work of which we saw
samples. 0, this Crescent City
school is different than in the old
times, and perhaps that is why the
children are taking a greater inter
est. Once the pupil becomes inter-
ested the balance is made easy. Cres-
cent City pupils are interested.
Grown-ups must be more than that
they must be proud of what is being
accomplished by the faculty.

Prune Your Citrus Now.

If your citrus groves have not been
properly pruned, now is the time to do
the work, says H. E. Stevens of the
University of Florida experiment sta
ton. Many of the trees injured by
the freeze are not putting out leaves
or new shoots near the ends of the
branches. This should be consider
ed ample evidence that the tips are
dead, for the growing season is well
begun.
Prune all of the dead ends of
branches off, and any large branches
as well. In pruning, make clean
sharp cuts and it will hardly be neces-
sary to apply an antiseptic unless the
branches are large. Neglect the
pruning now and the expense of fight
ing diseases, engendered by the dead
wood, will be multiplied greatly.

LARGEST OF AMERICAN CATS
Jaguar Not Only Holds Championship
in Size, but He Is Also Hand
soonest of His Glass.

The jaguar or "el tigre," as it is gen.
orally known throughout Spanish
America, is the largest and handsom-
est Of American cats. It's size and deep
yellow color, prOfusey marked with
black spots and rOsettes, give it Il close
resemblance to the African leopard. 1t
is, however, a heavier and more poWer-
full animal. In parts of the dense trOp-
ical forest of South America coal
iaguars occur, and while representing
merely color phase, they are sup
posed to be much fiercer than the or
binary animal. Although so large and
powerful, the jaguar has none Of the
truculent ferocity of the African leOp-
ard. During the years l spent in its
country, mainly in the open, l made
careful inquiry without hearing of a
single case where one had attacked
human beings.
In one locality on the Pacific coast
Of Guerrero l found that the harder
natives had an interesting method Of
hunting the "tigre" during the mating
period. At such times the male mas
the habit of leaving its lair near the
head of a small canyon in the foot
hills early in the evening and follow
ing down the canyon for some distance,
at intervals uttering a subdued roar.
On moonlight nights at this time the
hunter places an expert native with a
short wooden trumpet near the mouth
| of the canyon to initiate the "tigre's"
call as soon as it is heard and to re-
peat the cry at proper intervals. After
placing the caller the hunter ascends
the canyon several hundred yards, and,
gun in hand, awaits the approach OF

| amusing tales of the sudden exit OF
| untried hunters when the approaching
animal unexpectedly uttered it's roar
at close quarters.-E. w. Nelson, in

GOVERNMENT TO
USE CAMP LOGAN
Governor of Illinois Offers Rifle Range
for the Use of Sailors of the
United States Government.

Kenosha people may have chance
to see some Of the rife practice of the
United States navy as Camp Logan, the
rifle range of the state of Illinois just
south of the state line at Winthrop
Harbor, has been formally turned over
to the United States government and
it is expected that it will be used as
a rife range for sailors It is expected
that this will bring large number of
men to the range and that Kenosha
will become one Of the centers for
sailor s activity in the very near
future. The range is one of the most
modern ranges in the country and it
has been suggested on several occa-
sions that it be turned over to the
government for use in training men
for service in France
