present it's coming. any more than the desire not to be i'll slaves off ap- pendicitis. The world would be a beautiful place if, by merely wishing, we could evade and avoid trouble. You have never seen the policeman's revolver, and you have never seen your appendix; yet either is apt to break out at any moment"
 "But I-" began the little pacifist
 At that moment a mad dog unex- pected and unannounced. came blind ly down the street. People scattered to right and left. There were shouts of terror. The soldier drew his sword az the animal came nearer: and the poor little pacifist, terrified, leaped behind the military mans back. The policeman on the corner drew his re- volver. and fired. The dog fell dead.
 1T suppose you wonder why we killed him " said the soldier to the still tremb bling pacif1ts. We killed him so that he would not kill us. It is a law of life. you know. And if you fail to go prepared for such emer- xencies, others do not. We save you. not only from mad dogs and fiends. but from yourselves. Do you under. stand, little man? But you had bet ter move on. You are attracting at- tention by your shivering and shak- ing. By the way, I wonder why you are shivering? The policeman and I should be nervous. For the. risk was ours. You didn't do any thing!"
 And the little pacifist crept away. There was nothing else to do.

democratic social program A clear case of something for nothing.
 Are you fatuous enough to believe that the end of this war with its hates will bring general disarmament. Or that Germany will be dispossessed of the Kiel canal and cease to use sub- marines? We Americans are so pros- porous and hopeful of seeing the mill lenium realized within our borders that we refuse to look facts in the face. The time will come, if 1t is not at hand. when somebody will try to despoil us. Nobody pretends that we arc prepared to hit back: but the pa- cifist says. .swait until we are at- tackled, and then return evil with good" He Is unwilling that we should do our share in safeguarding society and, what is worse. he refuses to sanction the steps which would ren- der Us invulnerable.
 Unless we would be likened to part ridges, waiting to be knocked over by a club, we should adopt universal military training. Not in order to light, but to be able to defend our liberties and redress wrong whom righteousness demands 1t. Yet for an- other reason-in order that the young may give automatically of themselves to their country, not require all and return nothing. It is of the essence of patriotism that every. man should be obliged for time to lay aside his own concerns and be made 1t to act m . national emergency. The hope of ending war lies not In supine or limp ing avoidance of responsibility. but in the complete power to say 1t shall not he. The war to end all wars will be waged by ono forearmed. If the United States-the lone-star of den- ocracy-neglects through faulty vision or false sentimentality to help police the world, it's yearning for peace will be that of one who demands some thing for nothing. Unless we adopt universal military training. we shall prove . recreant nation.

Democracy and Military Service.
 (By Hermann Hagedorn)

Democracy is based on service.
 Democratic institutions depend for their very existence on the willingness and ability of each and every man, woman and child in the land in some fashion to serve the common good.
 Democracy is based on Universal Service.
 What kind of service is demanded of men and women who live under demo- cratic institutions? Tn time of peace. democracy demands on the part of each individual an intelligent interest in civic and national affairs and a con- scientious attention to the conduct of the peoples representatives who con- stitute the government; it demands knowledge of conditions, understand ing of the nations institutions. and patriotic devotion in the conservation of those institutions It demands these qualities not merely of our high~ minded and high-spirited men and women who volunteer to protect de- mocracy from foes within, but of all! Inasmuch as only few respond to this demand. inasmuch as the majority re- main selfish and uninformed slackers, democracy again and again goes down to defeat before special privilege and corrupt politicians. In peace dem0c. racy, to be even remotely successful. demands universal service in citizen- ship. A wise nation demands more. It demands universal training and service in citizenship.
 A democracy that is true denoc- racy self-respecting. vigorous and pledged to high principles. will. at times inevitably find itself in a posi- tfon in regard to a foreign nation when it must either light or lose its self respect. Now and again, as at tho present hour, the nations very exist ence as a democracy may be threat ened. Democracy has it's foes within and its foes without. Democracy meets and defeats it's foes from within by means of an alert and conscienti- ous army of citizens whose weapons are the tongue, the pen and the ballot Democracy meets and defeats it's foes from without by means of an army made up of those same citizens, armed with guns. We know what happens in democracy's battle against corrup- tion within, when a minority only

A Fable for Pacinsts.
(By Samuel Hopkins Adams.

\6y samuel AOpk1nS AdamO.)
 In time of general war among the insect tribes. the bees remained at peace. That they might conduct their chose as, their leaders certain sting their interests, their lives and their honor. To these guardians came slayers from among the tribe of ruthless spiders. saying:
 "Henceforth the air is forbidden to your wings. For there are spread our webs for our enemies" -
 But the air is our proper province" protested. the chosen leaders of the bees. "shut out from it how shall we continue to exist in prosperity and honor?"
 That Us nothing to us." replied the ruthless spiders. ''Whoso disobeys our orders we will destroy. Be warned"
 Now, though the ruthless spiders were terrible in war and had destroyed many victims. yet the bees were un- afraid. being great and a free peo- pie. ''This thing we will not endure" !" said their chosen leaders. and they set about spreading their wings and sharpening their stings for combat.
 But as they prepared to light, there arose from among the mass of honey bees clamor of pacifist buzzers, cry ing out in many voices (some of which echoed the spider accent.)
 "It is not the will of the tribe that we go to war. Make no movement un- til opportunity is given for all to vote upon the question:
 So the chosen leaders were bound to inaction, awaiting the vote of the honey-bees, whose interest and lives and honor they guarded.
 When. in the course of tribal events, the vote had been registered. the pacifist buzzers were overthrown by the resentment of an angered tribe and the word went out to the chosen leaders:
 "Ou honor has been assailed. Our will, is fo war. Go forth and light"
 But the chosen leaders did not fight.
 They could not.
 They were doad.
 The ruthless spiders had killed them.
 And when the bee tribe, late and leaderless, took the air they were en- tagled in the webs of the ruthless spiders and utterly destroyed.
 Moral-When honor is assailed, the initiative is mightier than the refer- endum.

sugar beet is planted in rows %
to 26 inches apart in the row. It re-
quires IL to 16 pounds of seed per
acre to insure good stand. Sugar
beet roots grow almost wholly be-
low the surface of the ground, which
makes them harder to harvest than
mangels or turnips. With any con-
siderable acreage proper harvesting
machinery is essential. On account
of the difficulties of getting impor-
tations from central Europe sugar
beet seed is hard to get this spring.
When labor is scarce and especial
ly when large areas of cheap land
are available root crops are not apt
to be extensively grown. However,
small acreage of roots provides
lot of good feed for dairy cows,
brood sows and sheep.
