Is PATRIOTISM DRUGGEDs
From the Chicago Evening Post.)


quite naturally Germany does not
want to fight the United States-yet.
She wants to have all the advantage
of walking over us, wiping her feet on
our PROSTATE form and going ahead
with her ambitious job of whipping
Europe. But she does not want us to
get angry enough to resent her treat
ment with effectiv force.
So Germany ostentatiously ignores
US as a tellgerent. She sinks our ships
because she finds it convenient, and
knows that we have grown used to the
stories Of American vessels torpedoed
and American lives lost at sea. She
reasons to herself that these little out
RACES no longer provoke a thrill in the
United States
But she will not do more than this
now, because to do more would be to
infiame American feeling and awake
the country to its peril.
Let America sleep" is the policy OF
Berlin.
And in order that the sleep may be
long she fills the air with soporifc
fumes; she permits much talk of peace
and peace terms, of political and social
reforms; she allows the young ruler Of
AuStIld W GIlI CloqucHI dHlDAS uitASo
designed to please sentimentalists and
moon chasing idealists: she suddenly
becomes complacent in the face of So
cialistic propaganda.
All this in the hope that those
"idiotic Americans" will sniff the drug
and lapse into deeper slumber.
1t was thus that for years before
the war she lulled Great Britain into
a false sense of security. 1t was thus
that up to the hour when the scrap of
paper was torn to shreds, she allayed
the alarm of Belgium.
Otherwise loyal and intelligent Amer
leans are going about today saying:
Why should we send our boys to
France? Why should we involve our
selves in a foreign war? 1t will be
time enough if we are invaded
Could Berlin write the words for
these citizens to speak she would choose
no others. These good people are un-
Willingly serving her.
Their patriotism is drugged, and they
are trying to drug the patriotism of
others.
Berlin wants America to fail.
She wanted the liberty loan to fail.
She wanted the selective draft to fail.
She hopes 1t will provoke disorder.
She wants Americans to remain
asleep until she can save herself on
the western front, until she can impose
her will by force or intrigue on Russia,
until she can establish herself firmly in
the Balkans and make certain her en-
pire of Mittle Europa, with its Aslatic
annex.
Then she will be ready for us, and
then the hatred she has cherished will
find expression. Then We will realize
that we should have fought her in
France when we had friends to aid
us. because we will be fighting her on
our own soil without friends.
Arouse yourself, America! Germany
and the friends of Germany are drug
ging your patriotism. The choice lies
between being the kaisers fool or a
self-respecting nation maintaining the
traditions of it's heroic past and paying
with full devotion the price of free

to Colville the mining world sat up in
wonder at the report which he sent to
the daily papers and the mining jour-
nails.
Frank Goetter ,as been in Colville
81 years has the colntys oldest drug
store. and in spite of the hair pre-
servers which he keeps on his shelves
he still has Aspend attend to his ton
sorial ministratlons--and has a good
head of hair. Goetter has found time
to study into many other lines of en-
deavor, and to do his share in civic
work. He has at times been mayor,
councilman, city treasurer county
treasurer, and has dipped sufficiently
into horticulture so that the bugs and
worms do not always eat up his or
chard and garden. He has also dabled
IA bit in mining and real estate and
laid up a few stores for the rainy day
but there is no sign of rain. He
was the man most instrumental in
bringing the Catholic church to Col
vile. the old church up on Church Flat
being the religious headquarters when
he came here.
Goetter did not come of French
parentage. but he was born in Wis
consin, which may account for his taste
in the deutsch style OF hounds. He
has always aimed to keep at least one
dog-and then get another one to keep
it company finding that this plan
worked perfectly satisfactory to the
dogs Years ago, when trees grew in
front of his store, Goetter's corner
was favorite lounging place for man
and beast. but with the coming OF
civilization the trees went and now
an awning is used, Just like common
stores have In front of their places
to knock the hats off men and women
as they pass.
1t might lie noted that good fortune
has followed these three men in many
ways The BARRIERS friends have good
heads of hair. The lawyers friends
have never been in Jail. The druggists
friends are strong and healthy. Looks
sort of like combination formed by

pROTElHE THE GRAIN

Grain of eastern Washington is go
ing through a critical period, when
the danger of fire is perhaps at it's
maximum; no stone must be left un-
turned to protect this grain that it may
be rendered into flour for a hungry
world"
This is the urgent message of the
State Council of Defense in Olympia,
and of other interested agencies, to
the grain growers of the Inland EN-
pire. Such cooperation as has never
been available before is now within
reach of the grain grower in combat
ting this destructive foe-fire.
Three powerful forces are coming to
the aid of the farmer, to help him save
his grain. The Council of Defense is
perfecting helpful organizations in I'll
the different counties most interested,
and is appointing deputy sheriffs to
work with the growers; the state in
surance department is exercising it's
police powers by sending force of
men into the fields, headed by Captain
w. a. Groce, to enforce regulations
for the protection of the grain, and the
leading underwriting concerns are rem
dering fullest aid with their field men.
w nile 1t IL true tndl the TeSpoHSl-
bility for the safeguarding Of grain
rests primarily with the grower, 1t Is
the desire of the Council of Defense
and Of the other agencies to bring him
every assistance possible. and in this
movement growers generally are show
ing a spirit of splendid cooperation.
They realize that while insurance may
return to them the greater part of their
financial loss, 1t will not restore the
wheat that is burned, or turn that
wheat into flour to feed starving
mouths.
Insurance companies have a vital in
terest at stake, for they do not want
recurrence of the serious situation Of
two years ago, when the frequency and
seriousness of threshing machine fires
made it necessary to cancel all policies
covering those risks
Unusual protection must be afforded
the grain not only in the fields, but as
well in the warehouses This is fea-
ture which deserves especial emphasis,
and the insurance commissioners Of
fce the Council of Defense and other
interested forces will do their utmost
to cooperate with the grain growers
after the crop Is harvested.
In the now war law, the following
paragraph (Sec. 2, Title 12) dealing
with transmission of mail matter,
should be borne in mind by all per-

report should be made. Every letter,

While our soldier boys are doing. and
their actions you are viewing;
If you've anything to send them, send
IT now:
Don't withhold your contribution till
they're in some foreign nation,
And they lie with snowy lilies DER
their brow.
II you scream your praise and shout it,
they'll not care a thing about it. ),
They'll not even know the tear drops
you have shed;
II YOU think there's something due
them, now's the time to send it
to them.
For they can't appreciate it II they're
dead.
You don't need to send them money,
send them cheer-make their life
sunny
Send the hearty warm approval of
friend;
For in battle they'll not waver, and 1t
makes them stronger braver:
They'll defend your dear Old Glory to
the end
If you've things for them, bestow it. If
YOU like them let them know It;
be said.
Do not wait till war is over and they're
laid beneath the clover:
For they can't appreciate it If they're
dead
