German Papers treat Rup-
ture with u. S. as Grave Issue.

The German newspapers look
upon the breach in diplomatic
relations between the United
States and that country as a grave
issue. They declare that the
submarine campaign cannot be
carried on without killing some
Americans. They assert that the
time it will take this country to
raise and equip an army is a point
in their favor. They believe that
by the unrestricted use of u
boats Germany can starve Great
Britain out, bring the Allies to
terms and end the war before
the United States can get ready
to fight.
All the German papers strongly
reject the imputation that Ger

chiefs and employees are actively

There is some considerable
speculation as to what part the
United States will play in the war

that predominates is that we will
take prompt, decisive action with
the view of ending the war as

Perhaps he saved the "nigger"

the plaudits of the people every

"nigger" he did very little care.
To uphold law and order he did
not alone aspire; but to retrieve
his waning prestige was StanEey's
chief desire. If Stanley would
turn his attention to the Business
of the State, instead of saving
'niggers" from an impending
fate-if he would leave more fel.

Divergent Views.

The following prose poem by
Col. w. j. hampton, a former
Kentuckian now residing in New
York, was recently published in
the New York Herald and repro
duced in the Jackson Times.
~ Following it you will find the
Courier's views on Governor
Stanley's spectacular trip to Muir
ray. However, we will pass the
first few lines of Col. Lampton's
poem by unchallenged:
Down yonder in Kentucky,
where the Bourbon blossoms
blow. where the horses are the
finest and the pretty women
grow; where the bluegrass is a
wonder and they eat tobacco raw;
where they still believe that
lynching is the highest moral law,
there's a Governor named STAN
ley, whose steps incline to stray
from the well-worn paths of JUS
tice in the old Kentucky way. 1t
seems that certain lynchers, who
were held up in their sport, an!
nounced their firm intention to
hang the whole darned court, and
Stanley, when he heard it, in
stead of sending troops and get
ting in the papers with a string
of headline whoops, rushed to the
scene of action alone to meet the
mob, and he handed them a sam
pie of the Right Man on the Job.
E Unarmed, he faced the lynchers,
with neither fear nor doubt-the
Law his shield and banner, he
backed them down and out. He
saved the situation, he kept Ken
tucky's name from further acqui-
sition of dark and bloody fame,
and set a brave example of high
official nerve which others high
in office might happily observe.
Kentucky is not perfect and even
Stanley's sand cannot produce
perfectionand warrant it to stand
but one good man like Stanley, in
that and other States, would be
of greater service than all theil
long debates, and with such mer
of courage, who do not talk but
fight, the Lynchocratic Party
would disappear from sight"
There's a Governor named
Stanley whose steps incline t
stray; who believes in doing bus
mess in a new-fangled kind oI
way. 1t seems that down a

after the scalp Of a "nigger" il
all it's fury went. Now Stanley
when he heard Of it, instead o
sending troops, conceived tn,

Animals on the farm are continual.
ly being wounded. The first step to
take in the care of a wound is to
promptly explore the parts with q
view to ascertaining If there Is for
eign body; then arrest the hemor-
rhage to prevent waste Of blood, writes
w. G. Fair, veterinary surgeon, In
Ohio Farmer. The latter can often be
done by twisting the blood vessel or
tying 1t, or by compression. The
wound should then be washed with an
antiseptic solution of some kind. It is
important that the wound have proper
drainage. It may be necessary to do
little cutting before good drainage II
obtained. A wound that pockets sell
dom heals quickly. Small wounds
about the head and neck should first
be cleaned, peroxide Of hydrogen ap-
piled (stitching material dipped in
same), then edges Of wound brought
together and stitched as evenly as pos
sible. Paint edges of the wound with
tincture of iodine or apply equal parts
oxide Of zinc and boric acid or any
other reliable commercial busting pow
der. Never stitch wound unless you
believe 1T necessary to hold the It's
sues together.

HEAD AND THROAT TROUBLES
Colds and Catarrh Are Most Common
Among PouItry-Breed Constant
Iy for Health and Viqor.

Poultry Division, University Farm, Davis,
CALI
The most common head and throat
troubles Of fowls are colds, and ca
tarrh. The symptoms of colds are
running, dirty and stopped up nos
trils. The symptoms Of catarrh are
difficult and rapid breathing, with
mouth open, and whistling or bub-
bling in throat due to phlegm. These
troubles are most common n fall and
early winter, and are easily overcome.
Simple colds and catarrh can be
prevented by removing the above
causes and breeding constantly FOR
health and vlgor. TO treat, search
out and isolate in separate quarters
all infected fowls and give stimulat-
ing food seasoned with cayenne pep
per, or the following tonic:
Pulverized gentian, one pound; pull

the presence Of that official with two
hundred dollars in his pocket. He
gave Dolby ten of 1t, braced himself
up with strong drink through the day,
and at dusk packed up his few be-
longings and made over the city.
Gresham put all the past behind
him, work, home, ambition. He was
not sot, but the fiery liquor was his
solace when memory and remOrse as
sailed him. Within a month he had
squandered his all. At the end of a
week later he was q nameless wan
derer, fast degenerating into a tramp.
One morning, harassed and weary,
he reached little crossroads school
house. He observed that one of It's
windows was open. 1t was vacation
time, so he felt safe to climb in
through the embrasure. Gresham
found himself in a small room con
tanning a bench, some broken chairs
and stools, brooms, maps and the like
He lay down on the bench and went
to sleep.
1t was two hours later when Nettie
Dean unlocked the door of the school
house, to be soon joined by dozen
or more little ones. Once week she
made it custom to meet her schol-
ars and pass an hour or two in their
company, and the little group were
glad to be with the devoted teacher
they loved.
On this special morning Nettie had
brought with her to read simple,
touching story. 1t covered the history
of hayward youth, growing into a
careless man, who took the downward
path. 1t depicted all he had forfeited
that was best in life. 1t told Of the
mother love, of her influence and pre-
cepts coming back to the culprit at
the darkest moment Of his life. The
sweet, impressive tones Of the reader
awOke the slumberer. He sat up he
listened, he seemed part of the pic
ture drawn. A clearness of vision, no
longer blinded by drink, revealed all
his wicked acts in their true light
For q time he sat with his face buried
in his hands. Then, trembling all over,
he stole out through the window,
mighty purpose in his mind, aroused,
one sentient word on his lips:
Regeneration
Burt Gresham went back to the city
and to work. For two successive
