JUSTICE FOR ANTI DRAFT lGlTATORS.

The anti draft agitators who are
threatening Impeachment of the presi-
cent and throwing every possible OBJ
ste.cle in the path of preparation, if
not technically are morally aiding and
abetting the enemy in time of war.
The time to argue and agitate is
over. Congress passed the selective
CONSUMPTION law and operations to
raise an army are we'll under way.
1t is the decision Of the people and un-
alterably fixed. Such meetings as that
held in Washington and which includ
ed members Of congress verge on the
traitorous. They can not change the
course of the government for that is
decided upon. The government itself
can not recede. All that the agitators
it needs and requires the support and
feaity of all.
The constituencies of those senators
and congressman who were prominent
in that meeting should demand thei:
designations. If there is any way in
which congress can assist their recall
the sooner that body sets about
cleansing itself the more it will please
the people of the United States.
Something of similar nature is at
flicting Canada. One newspaper in
Quebec calls in headline for Justice
to French Canada" To which Jack
Canuck," patriotic and popular Pc
riodical of Canada, rejoins:
This is the most terrihcally blood
thirsty demand We have heard yet. II
reminds of the story of the old Scotch
judge who had just sentenced Grim
inal to be hanged on the 18th of jan
uary My Lord" said the criminal as
he was being taken away, Il have not
got justice in this trial" "Aweel, my
mon,' said the judge, 'yell get 1t on

Somebody sings a song from the

FARMERS AND FAsM EXPERTS.
lCedar Rapids Republican,

A farmer will get into a fuss with
his neighbor over q calf and go to town
and hire a lawyer and fight TIL dccsn's
day to prove that he is right. He IS
willing to pay the lawyer $25 day or
even $50 when he gets into the higher
courts, but the educated young man
who comes from Anes where he may
have spent four years in learning more
about farming that the lawyer has
learned about law Is begrudged 70, -
or IS q day, the wages OF master
workman, altho he comes not to fight
cases in the courts, but to put more
oats and corn in the bins and more po-
tatoes in the cellar.
We must confess, we do not see the
reason for it nor Of 1t. II we were
working on a farm now as we did In
the best years OF our life-we would
welcome any man who knew more than
we did about the things that we were
trying to do. Even editors have schools

POTATO RAISING REVISED.

C.. C. Kemn1ing is trying out plan,
which il successful will revolutionize

structed a frame six by eight feet and
five and one-half feet high, Of Stats
nailed to heavy timbers at the corner
ana in this frame expects &c raise
enough potatoes for his family for the
next year. How it. it done? Well MT.
Kemming told the Review reporter he
put a layer Of earth at bottom OF the
frame and on this planted his seed po-
tatoes a foot apart, excepting around
the outside, where the seed Is but six
inches from the Stats. Over the seed ne
placed a layer Of earth and then some
manure, then planted another layer
until he had crib of potatoes planted
five and a half feet high. They were
planted about month ago and already
the vines are emerging from between
the Stats until the contrivance re-
senles one vast potato plant. Others
vino nave tried this method Of raising
potatoes claim that II is possible to
raise as many as forty bushels on q
plot six by eight feet In dimensions
The bin is watered whenever necessary
