Hang the Spies AS
Fast AS They Are Caught

Events today are proving no part Of
President Wilson's war message Of April
? is truer than this which he said Of
German spies
One OF the things that have served 10 con
vince us the Prussan agtocracy was not and
could never BE- our friend is that from the very
outset OF the present war, u has flied our un.
suspectng communities and even our Offices OF
government with spies, and set criminal intrigue
afOot against national unity of council. our
peace within and without our industries and
our commerce. Indeed, il is now evident that
the spies were here even before the war began
These are the steps the United States
is taking 70 stamp out the spies:
Various government detective agencies
are being grouped under one central Sc
cret service.
More complete cooperation of United
States secret service with that Of Euro
pean allies Is being effected.
All wireless messages they can pick up
are being copied by naval vessels and leg
islation for federal control Of cables may
be enacted.
The postoffice is barring numerous pub
/ licationS for opposition 20 the war.
Hundreds Of suspected persons are be-
ing kept under surveillance Daily some
are indicted, arrested. convicted, deported
or interned.

ers in congress now say:

The Strength of Yielding
81
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright 1915. by Frank Crane)

Learn 10 yield!
You often gain more by giving in than
by holding on. Battles have been won
by strategic retreats as well as 10y Wig
orous advances.
Of course, there are some things
about which you ought to be inflexibles
stubborn, and -if-I-die-by-it. But sucl
things are not nearly so plenty as one.
pride is like to think.
Very often when you clash againr
some one whose views seem directly or
posite to your own, if you will let him
say his say, and give him free rein t.
explain what he means, you will discover
that after all il is not so much some vital,
essential principle that divides you as it
is some phrase. Your quarrel is perhaps
a conflict of catch words, not of con-
victions.
So be willing to listen. Be eager TO
grant all that can be granted. Be keen
to find out how far you can agree with
your adversary. For every useless issue
you can cut out of controversy will
strengthen your side when it comes to
the unavoidable differences.
BY yielding you test and ascertain
your opponents strength. You also learn
the spirit Of his attack, the temper of
him, and how dangerous or harmless
he is.
Give way a little when you can, and
see what he does with the advantage
you give him.
BY yielding you awaken nobleness.
Finding no opposition in you your ad-
versary finds it in himself his own sense
of justice of courtesy and consideration
is awakened
This may be the gist Of the command
to turn the other cheek" For if you
truly love your neighbor you are more
concerned in his coming to himself
and realizing his own wrong than you are
in triumphing over him
The great secret Of efficiency is TO find
the essentials and stand for them only.
And the corollary of this is. not to make
an issue of non-eSsentials.
The sklful mother avoids clashing

by letting him have his own way, and
cleverly bringing him to see his own
folly.
The wise wife leads her husband by
indirection. She gets her own way by
yielding far oftener than another bl con-
tention.
By yielding you accumulate power for
striking when the time comes. The long
"watchful waiting" of the United States
was not wasted During this time tre-
mendous moral force was being gener-
ated.

q The COnquerOr Comes
Dedicated to Belgium in The Times
BY H. CLEMENT AUER

The conqueror comes and once again
The martial tune of fife
Is mingled with the steps of men,
Who freely gave of life
That liberty might live,
UnsuHied by the purple stain
OF greedful despot's power,
Long lingering the pain
Until at last the hour,
Long promised long delayed,
When war snail cease,
And nations once betrayed
Shall find a blessed peace
In victory which brought
New hope to all the world!
The tyrant-hun who sought
With pirate flag unfurled
To plunder for the gain
OF money and Of lands,
Has sown snare in vain,
And now the world demands
That Belgium, since enslaved
BY Williams vulture-greed,
Shall wake anew and saved
To blossom with new seed
And find a new estate,
Built firm upon the sod:
Oerulng tricks Of Fate
The mighty hand Of God
Shall fearless re-create
A people weary and war-worn,
A race Of valiant, sturdy men,
When 10 the call Of clarion fife
The conqueror comes and once again,
Belgium who gave her youth to strife
Shall be reborn!

BY WAY OF DIVERSION.

There never was a man on earth
who wasn't roundly hated by some
one who. whene'er he falls, was very
much elRted. You may have good
friends by the score who'll bring their
praises TO your door. but your success
makes some one sore, as I've already
stated. The man who has no enemies
Is found alone in fiction. In working
out your plans you're bound TO bring
about some friction. And he who gets
the rubbing may cloud up and have a
lot TO say. He'll take each chance
that comes his way to knock without
restriction. So never worry when you
hear that some ones started scoffing.
HIS TRADE means success has come or
waits there In the offlng. Go fight your
hght and just forget that some ones

CORNS LIFT OUT

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me small bottle Of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops Of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly. and soon the entire corn OF
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted Off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries In
moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without Irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone

EXCELLENT Returns
FROM THE CANADIAN
WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov
inces of Canada are easily explained
by the case Of Mr.. G. Lacy, late OF
Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
consin in the summer of 1914 with
$500 available cash in his possession.
He rented half-section of partly i'm
proved land in Alberta and commenced
summer fallowing. He broke 300 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 260 with
wheat. Also he had two cows and 20
head Of young live stock. He was for
tunate in buying feed at bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
lie his profits-and they amounted to
$4,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock.
w. J. Winstead, of Brooks, Alberta,
says:
II landed in Brooks, March 18th,
1915, with one car of household effects,
and nine head of good horses, and less
than $500 in cash. have put $500
worth Of improvements on my farm. I
have 81 head of cattle, 16 head Of
horses, debts all paid. a new automo-
bile, and good, stiff bank account.
At present prices, can cash in for
$4,000. I am well satisfied, and ex-
pect to double this next year.
I have threshed altogether 1000
bushels of No. Northern wheat from
two hundred acres, which went from
"a to SO bushels per acre.
Seven thousand bushels Of wheat, all
No. Northern, two thousand bushels
Of oats, $40 bushels Of fax, 700 BUSH
els Of barley-all at market prices
well, figure this out for yourself at the
market price. I sold 3,1OO bushels of
wheat at $1.74N, am holding the re-
mainder for $500. Also all the oats,
barley and flax for higher prices"
Intelligent farming pays always ac-
cording to Alex. Waffle, prosperous
farmer. Some figures to prove his con.
tention that he has "made good"
In 1914 Mr.. Waffle threshed 40 BUSH
els to the acre from a 3O-acre crop.
This sold for $1.60X per bushel, which,
after deducting seed, labor, twine,
threshing and freight, left clear profit
Of $50 per acre, or total Of $1,5OO.
From last years crop Of "a acres, just
sold, he received after freight had been
deducted, 81, Observation-Disclosures.
