several generations, its value is sure
to be enormous in this war.
The knocker in sport has never held

KELTON

kelton, July 2.-We are having no.

now. Cotton on sandy land is grow
ing but is no good on red land. Corn
is the same. Vegetables are needing
rain badly and if rain does not come
soon vegetables will be scarce again.
Cotton has advanced in price like q
great many other things. 1 hear that
parties are offering 26c for October
deliveries. That is a fancy price, but
the farmers had better go slow for
they don't know what they will make.
That price is climbing up to the high

MINNEAPOLIS.

Editor, American eWlsh World.
A criticism of friend is always
welcome. The members of the
Young Mems Hebrew Assn have
read carefully your editorial of the
23rd inst. entitled, "On The Wrong
Track" A series of lectures is the
basis for this editorial. What we're
these lectures?
Oct. 5th, DR.. Gordon spoke on,
"What is the national Jewish Ian
guage poet. 18th, DR.. H. L. Slo-
bin spoke on, "The Scientific View
of Patriotism" Oct. 10Th, DR.. M.
Seham spoke on 'Jewish Nervous

foos spoke on, Evolution of Man."
Nov. End, Prof L. M. Crosgrave
spoke on, Socialism and the War"

ton Nov 23rd, Rev. ]. E. Bush
nell spoke on, Implied Duties of
Citizenship" and on Nov. 30th, Mr.
Robert Kolliner will speak on "War
and Its Effects in relation to the
Jews. Most of the lectures, as can
be seen, were not on politics, war or
economics, and the many people
who heard them openly expressed
their, approval.
AS. to the aims of our organiza-
ton, we are sure that we have not
lost them from our sight. Self-cul-
ture in Jewish ideals, as the editor
pointed out was the principal aim
in launching this organization. To
accomplish this, however, we had to
get together the young men of varl-
Gus traits, foreign-born and Ameri-
can born, and establish friendship
and common understanding among
them, make them enthusiastic about
their Jewish organizations so that
they may bear their Jewishness with
pride and firmness. We wish to say
that we have accomplished something
to advance this purpose. We have
as members in our organization.
foreign-born and American born. At
our meetings we speak Yiddish as
we'll as English and we often have
had speakers address us in Yiddish.
We edit paper called the "Y. M. Fl.

Jewish questions and Jewish news.
