Jefferson City, Mo-, May 25.-In
an address today before the annual
convention of County Superintendents
of Public Schools, Rev. DR.. J. T. M.
Johnston of st. Louis, minister, capt.
talist, author and politician, advo-
Gated the teaching of patriotism in
the public schools of the United
States.
Upon investigation he said that he
found that patriotism is being taught
in many of the church and Govern
ment schools of Europe, while in the
United States, so far as he can ascer-
tain, the only place where citizen
ship and patriotism are taught from
the textbook is in the primary schools
of the City of New York.
Discussing the war, DR.. Johnston
said:
American inventive genius, by
giving to the world the aeroplane
and submarine, has destroyed the

our two great allies-the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans. Our isolation is
gone. The United States is closer
today to Europe than Missouri was
to Kentucky at the time of the Amer
ican revolution. This situation calls
for new conceptions of citizenship.
"In order to perform these new
duties intelligently, our youth must
be internationally informed.
There is one great value of the
war which may somewhat compen-

and treasure, and that is the posi-

Audrain F armer Sells
Record Price Lambs
A Magnificent Figure--HOw the Ami
mails Were Fed and Conditioned
For the Market.

We report the following from the
Live Stock Reporter:
Again Audrain County, Mo-, Thurs
day sustained it's reputation as
the premier sheep feeding section
of the "Show Me" State in the sale
of 100 head of Missouri-fed clipped
Western bambs averaging 76 lbs.
that were purchased by Morris & Co.,
at the record breaking price Of
$17 per cwt., a sale that eclipsed
Thursdays record by 25c.
This noteworthy price obtained
for A, N. Day, one of the foremost
citizens and farmers of that section.
This particular bunch of lambs were
bought by Mr.. Day last October, av-
eraging Sc pounds, and costing him
$9.65 per cwt. After Mr.. Day had in
formed us of this fact, the first
thought that struck us was how salts
factory was the outcome to him.
After this question had been asked
Mr.. Day Replied: II cannot empha-
size my feeling any stronger than by
saying that l was much more than
pleased with the price. The truth is,
had l received $16.50 l would have
been well satisfied. Little did 1 have
any idea when l bought these lambs
last October that 1 would have ever
realized such a magnificent price for
them. OF course, anybody who has
fed stock for the past few months
| with corn costing from $1.25 to
$1.60 per bushel, the latter price now
prevailing, knows what the producing
cost is. But, taking into considera-
tion the fact of my original buy In
! Omaha was $50 lambs and I sheared
about lbs. to the head, selling all
told 1913 worth of wool, could have
sold the lambs today for less and
they would not have lost me any
money. I feel very we'll repaid for
the labor, trouble and expense of
feeding that I have gone to. When
I brought the lambs home, rar
them on the pasture and in stalk
fields up until about the goth of De-
cember, then 1 started them on en-
silage with a little oat straw and
corn added each day, continuing this
basis of food up to the middle Of
April, when they had full feed Of
hay and corn daily, and while they

OUR BOYS ARE MARCHING AWAY.

A successful business man of Mexico, excel
lent friend of this paper, in ST. Louis few days
last week and took time to write us the following
observations:
Dear Mr. Bea: This Nation is at war-sure
enough war. No fooling
Gradually it is beginning to soak into our
heads that this is sowe must adopt the tactics OF

St. Louis streets are filled with khaki-Clad

accurately five miles seen in the middle of the
streets One has to go around them. An Obliging
officer stands and with sample of the shell
in hand explains, This is dynamite and these round
pellets are ounce-lead bullets The shell has
stive nose so when it hits the shell explodes."

Where did Uncle Sam get these fine guns!
Sly old fellow, your Unce Samuel works while
you sleep.
Cavalry horses, none superior in the world, go
by, and boys with determined look in their eyes,
hunt the recruiting Offices
Business men, whose hair is tinged with gray,
and in some cases top of the head hair at all,
are solicited officers, for Uncle Sam has figured
out that any who has commanded men at the
forge, in the shops, at the desk, command men
in the field.

So In many cases the very fellow of German
blood you may have had under suspicion is the first

there are thousands of them.

our apples. God bless 'em. Many of them will
never return, and they doing this for us-for
you and me. For is it not fact that Germany had
really planned to invade Our shores? We shall miss
these boys and when those who do return
marching home, some of them crutches perhaps,
we will gather around and yell and sng-and a
mist will come to our eyes-for they are our boys.

enough grass whereby they could
put on flesh to any extent"
Asked regarding prospects for the
seasons crops, Mr.. Day continued:
81 feel safe in saying there will be
at least 20 per cent increase in acre
age this year over last. In fact, the
farmers in my vicinity are using every
bit of land that it is possible for them
to. Virtually all the corn has been
planted and part of it up; however,
owing to the extremely damp, cool
period some time ago, the early
corn had to be replanted."
