To Days Anniversary

NlPLOMATlC bungllng on the part
ID OF Germany is largely respon-
slble for her present situation.
In one instance, however, her diplom-
acy won, and what is more, bested
her presen. worst enemy, England,
past master In the art OF diplomacy.
That diplomatic triumph OF Germany
resulted In the acquisition OF Hellgo-
land, which alone to-day protecta
Germany from the most powerful
aggregation OF warships that the
world has even seen.
Hcligoland was originally n Danish
possession, but 1t was taken over by
England in 1907. and confirmed to
Great Britain by the treaty of 1914.
The English did little In the way OF
making tho island strategic point.
and the average Englishman hardly
knew that such an island existed
until the announcement OF It's trans
fer to Germany In 1890 brought out
storm OF disapproval. In England
the value OF HcligOland as a naval
station was strongly insisted upon
by many writers, and Lord Salisbury
was bitterly criticised for making tho
transfer. The inhabitants of the ISL
and were also clamorous in their op-
position to the change. but the wishes
OF a few fishermen and pilots were
not permitted to weigh In a matter
affecting the welfare OF empires.
In return for Heligoland Germany
gave up territory In Africa almost
as large as Germany itself, but 1t
cannot be said that the transaction
was profitable to England. II Is
from Heligoland that most of the
| submarines go forth on their mission
of destruction. OF late there has
been talk in certain naval circles OF
a combined naval attack on Heligo-
land. but visor heads have prevailed
and have proved the utter impossl-
bility OF an attack by sea on the
great stronghold that Germany has
created there.

1-HE newest thing In curative sci
ence that may be traced direct
4 ly to the influence Of the war
Is the treatment OF shell shock by
electric shock. Thousands or men
have been permanently disabled by
the force OF shell explosions although
uninIured by fragments. Many thou
sands more have temporarily lost the
power OF hearing. speech or move
inent OF their limbs owing to the
same cause.
So serious did these ailments be-
come that British scientists began an
intensive study OF the subject. They
decided that the application OF cleo
tric shock to paralyZed limbs might
to some extent counteract the first
shock and bring back normal pow
ers. The experiment has proved sue

What Is Irrigated Land Worth?

There are many wheat fields in
Prowe-s county whose yield this
year viii almost equal the value OF
the land on which the crop was
raised. The fine crop produced is
another proof OF the advantage OF
farming by irrigation. A few hun
dred miles east OF here. with identi-
cal weather conditions. the Kansas
wheat crop was almost total fail
ure. II eastern farming lands are
worth from $10o TO 5000 an acre,

county are worth twice as much. be-
cause they carry crop Insurance

awake TO this fact and when the time
comes there win be no more 800
