Somebody has said the hand that
rocks the cradle moves the world. The
child gets his notion of God or the
devil largely from his mother, and the
devil finds no fault with the mother
who sends her children to play in the
street for fear they will wear out tho
carpet if they stay in the house, and
by trying to shine in society she has
no light for her own home, and by
spinning society yarns many mother
helps to make the rope that hangs her
own boy.

They say of Sir Walter Scott that
his mother was passionately fond of
literature. and in Sir Walter Scott we
have one of the most prolific writer's

over him like clouds of adamant.
They say of Lord Byron that his
mother was beautiful, naughty, intol-

have the very essence of those charac-

They say of Napoleon that his moth

WHEN TO CUT SWEET CLovEF

WHEN TO CUT SWEET CLOVER
Sweet clover should be cut when it
is about 2 to feet high, in order to
avoid woodiness in the stalks. If the
plants have begun to stool out, cut
ting. should not be delayed a day
longer than necessary. The crop should
be cut from 3 to 4 inches from the
ground in order to prevent injury to
the plants. As sweet clover hay cures
more slowly than does alfalfa, care
should be taken in handling so as not
to shatter the leaves. The leaves are
the most valuable part of the hay.

DR.. Solf. the colonial secretary:
For thirty months the colonial troops
in East Africa. cut Off from all regular
communication with home, have been
fighting uninterruptedly against an en-
envy far superior in numbers and weap-
ons. Fighting in a tropical climate and
equipped only with the most simple
means. the colonial troops, under their
brave commanders, have performed
deeds which are worthy to rank beside
the achievements Of the forces at home
Under the most difficult conditions
imaginable they have beaten in numer-
GUS battles and actions English, Bel
gian and Portuguese forces placed in
the held against the colonies, and for
long time carried war into the enemy
country. In the further course of the
fighting they have relinquished to
overwhelming superiority German soil
only after the most stubborn resist
ance; and today they protect the Ger
man flag in East Africa.
Whatever fate the Lord God NAV
have in store for the small band OF
heroes, the fatherland remembers with
ing in distant Africa. declare my i'm
perial thanks and my high recognition
of the troops for their heroic perse-
verence in an unequal battle. / charge
you to communicate this order to my
colonial troops as soon as possible
