WILL EUROPE LEGALIzE PoLYGAMY?

The enormous slaughter of men has started
the sociologists TO debating the question of whe.
ther or not, at the close Of hostilities Europe
will be forced to legalize polygamy. or resort tc
some other such expedient to provide mates for
it's millions of unmarried women.
Although perhaps not generally known. pre-.
cisely such condition was faced in Europe al
the end of the Thirty Years war; and il was met
by legalizing polygamy until relative balance OF
the sexes was again established when the laws
were repealed.
IL Is estimated that should the war continue
for two years longer there will be in the coun.
tries involved not less than twelve million fe.
males in excess of males. Hence IL can be plainly
seen that the problem confronting those coun-
tries is serious indeed.
Europe. aside from the purely material losses
which she is sustaining, and which are almost
beyond conception or computation. is facing a
certain and serious check to civilization. Pos
sibly no other condition would so retard the
march Of progress rs return. either by choice
or necessity TO this degrading practice.
The twentieth century mind revolts at the
idea Of polygamy. Not only is this true of Amer.
icans but Europeans as we'll This being true
what effect would II have upon the people should
such practice be revived?
To race familiar with and accustomed 10 the
practice II may appear justifiabe and right But
10 a people who for centuries have been taught
TO regard Il as contrary 10 the laws Of nature
the effect is certain 10 be demoralizing 10 char.
acter. Even those who would be constrained Ia
practice polygamy would by force Of their pre-
vious training be compelled TO regard themselves
as living In adultery.
How truly should every American thank his
God that our land has been spared the horrors
that face our cousins across the water. and how
firmly each should determine that, come what
may. we will never be dragged into that conflict
and participate in that slaughter except In &C.
tual defense Of our own shores.
America today is the white hope of civiliza.
ton. The destiny of the race lies in the Ameri.
can hand 10 shape II as II will. That we may be
true TO our highest ideals Is the earnest prayer
Of every intelligent soul within our borders.
Poygamy could never even be considered in
this country.

WHY RURAL LIFE Is DULL.

Rather, we should have said. why some rural
life is dull.
Not all rural communities are dull. Many are
Just teeming with social life and interest.
Do you realize why some communities are
lacking in social life and "snap?" Simply be-
cause you, yourself are deficient in these quail
ties. And your neighbors are very likely In the
same condition.
Suppose you wake up and take an interest in
matters that tend 10 the betterment of the social
side of your community, especially of your inn
mediate neighborhood Soon your neighbor will
come TO life and join YOU Then others will come
trooping along and you will have the ball rolling
and il will surprise you how rapidly everybody
will step into line and march 10 the tune of
greater life and happiness.
Many communities think that if they have
their farmers meetings, preaching occasionally,
and prayer meeting once week. they have full
filled the social laws But not so. To be con-
tent with these is like living on a heavy diet of
corn bread and meat. The human animal is a
fun loving creature by nature. and with his work
he must mix a reasonable amount of play if he
is to retain his mental and physical faculties I'M
impaired
II your community has not good social club
organize one. Have singings and debates mu-
steals and concerts athletic sports and other
healthy forms Of amusement. Put the young
people Of the community TO work in the line of

WHAT is YOUR INTENTION?

! Are you land owner? If so, what is your in
tention with regard to the land that you own ?
Do you propose to regard IL merely as business
investment, and to extract from it every possible
dollar of profit?
We have known farmers whose treatment of
their land was calculated to leave the impression
that they were the ones for whom il was origin
ally created, and that when they should cease 90
need il no other use would ever be made of t.
On the other hand, there are men--and many
of them-who, while striving to make their land
as productive as possible, have yet an eye to the
future owners.
Every farmer, when he takes charge of a piece
of ground, should frame this simple resolution
81 hereby resolve that, whether my occupancy
Of this land be long or short, will use every
means at my command to leave II more produc
tive than when found It."
If this were the guiding principle of every
farmers life, what blessed and productive
country ours would become in a few generations
Of time?
And why not? Every farmer who has ever
worked with impoverished soil knows how dis
couraging and heart sickening is the struggle.
And every farmer who has honestly endeavor
ed TO improve his land to point Of real produc
tveness knows how gratifying IL is to see his
yield mount upward from year 10 year, and to
feel that as the seasons go by he is adding sub
stantially TO the wealth of this country-for af-
ter all is said land is the great tangible asset of
the earth.
The man who causes two blades Of grass TO
grow where only one grew before is benefactor
of mankind. The man who so depletes his soil
that only one blade will grow where two former
ly grew, is a thief.
Hard words--yes, hard but true No man has
right to impoverish the soil, even If he does
hold title deed TO II. At best IL is only his for
a season. when II must pass on to rightful
owner.
And what about the rights Of that next own
err And the next. and the next?
When you pursue policy that impoverishes
your land II goes TO your son at your demise
poorer than when you received IL.
Have you. in that event, been honest with
your son? He had right to receive from you
what you notwithstanding no less.
VIM the farmers Of America rob the unborn
generations or will they leave for them the les.
acy Of better land than they themselves in
herited7
II Is personal question which each individual
must answer for himself.

REVIVE CRAFTSMANSHIP.
Rifle Shooting Again to Become inpor'
tant In World War.

Sans In word war.
Convinced that craftsmanship with
the rifle is not altogether a lost art,
even il it has been somewhat neglected
in these latter days OF war, the COM
manders Of the American forces now
preparing in France for the battlefront
are giving their men thorough course
of instruction in the school of rifle fire.
1t always has been tradition among
European armies that the United States
had the finest shooting army in the
world, no matter what might be its
shortcomings in other respects. This
tradition the new American army hopes
to keep alive, and there is general be-
lief among the officers Of the expedi-
tionary force that the time again will
come when rifle fire may be Of the ut
most Importance.
The old regular British army, which
virtually was annihilated in the first
six months of the war, also was a fine
shooting army, and its ability with the
rifle cost the Germans dearly on many
occasions.
Both rifle practice and machine gun
work will appeal to the American SOL
diers. 1t is phase Of training for
which they are particularly keen, and
already they have been making some
marvellous scores with both weapons.

BIG JOB FOR RAILROADS.
Will Haze to Transport $4,000 Men 70
Various Cantonments.

dtiOuS SdsIOIlIUStSos - 2 .
Altogether 6S7,OOO men will have to
be transported to the various canton
ments that the government is building
to house the new national army. The
movement will start Sept. s. Between
that date and Sept. 0 the railroads will
complete the entrainment Of 100000
men, or approximately 80 per cent Of
the total number scheduled to be NOV
ed to the various training camps.
1t Is expected that second move
ment Of approximately 100000 men will
begin on Sept. 10, continuing for four
days thereafter, and third movement
Of the same size on Oct. 3.
Some conception of the magnitude Of
the task confronting the American
Railway association In preparing sched-
ules that will assure the safe and
prompt transportation of these armies
without interfering with regular traffic
may be cleaned from the fact that to
move merely one field army Of 10000
men requires GOO cars made up into
366 trains with as many locomotives
and train crews.
Meanwhile, in addition to moving
the 6S7,OO0 recruits for the national
army, the railroads have been asked
to supply transportation for the $50, coo
members of the national guard to their
training camps. This national guard
movement has already started and will
continue In increasing volume until all
have been moved.

.ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS
FOR PHILADELPHIA
Two or More of the Most Power
full Known Will Be Placed
In City.

Philadelphia Is to be protected from
the possibility of attack from the air
by two or more of the largest and most
powerful anti-aircraft guns that have
yet been constructed, The Philadel-
phia navy yard and the. Frankford
arsenal are the vulnerable points that
are to receive most Of the protection.
but the city itself will also be consid-
cred In the protective plans.
The gun Is Of the mobile type and
can be demounted quickly and rushed
to a new position by a big motor truck
that is part of its equipment. 1t is
said at the navy yard that the gun Is
very much like the great anti-aircraft
rifles that guard the approaches to
Paris and London.
The war department is not contem-
plating an attack by Zeppelins or air
planes flying across the Atlantic, but
they are providing against an assault
by seaplanes making the trip across
seas on the decks Of the German high
seas fleet. The warnings that have
been received from Admirals Sims and
Jellicoe to the effect that the German
feet may sally forth at any time and.
passing by the strongly defended coast
Of England, attack the Atlantic coast
of the United States, is responsible for
the precautions that are being taken,
In such raid seaplanes and subma-
rines undoubtedly would be used, the
submarines to threaten the American
feet and keep 1t behind protective nets.
the planes to bomb munition plants,
navy yards, arsenals and the large
cities Of the coast.
That the prospect is not chimera
is proved by the activity Of the war
and navy departments in taking the
stitches in time" There is no objec-
ton being made to the publication of
the few facts here stated.

Of it General Pershing said: These
