The Light Of the Hyphenated Teuton

1t is natural and characteristic OF
the foreign teuton to cling to the old
customs, methods and teachings. He
is so devoutly certain that if it Is not
of the old school tits, wrong. He is
the last man to cut his wheat with a
binder The last. one to pillow with a
motor; usually the last one to adopt
new methods of any kind. This con
servatism has its virtues and also Its
disadvantages more especially in the
realm of thought and opinion. If 1t
we're not for this evolution and prog
ress we would yet be wearing wooden
shoes, three cornered hats. driy'

gets there first. The typical American
perhaps slOps over to the other ex-
IRENE and abuses it. Yet there is a
happy medium of common sense that
pays big returns. Your sons are all
right as they are taking the middle

Let us come to the point. The soil.

present conflict is a good Illustration,

In this struggle Is a momentous one,

German ancestry of hyphenated birth

blood and friendship. 1t puts one ina
paradoXical position as we have had
no love for the allies and especially
the British. But there is no escape

1t seems to be fashionable just now
to scold the American farmer. for not
producing more crops and to urge him
to produce more, this year, as a patri-
otto duty in time of war. There need
be no fear that the farmers of the
country will miss any opportunity to
produce all the crops they and their
families can plant, cultivate, and har-
vest. The prospective price is decid-
eddy attractive and is sufficient incen'
tive. But there is a limit to the ex-
tent of crops a farmer and his wife
and children can SOW and garner.
What is really needed is larger

The First Ten M onths.

When; the national army is formed
there will be ten months Of hard work
ahead for. young Americans who are
taken into the rangs. One thing the
young soldier should remember and
that5-is that the first months will not
give him any Of 'glory's thrills. The
old idea that the soldier needs no
training for fight has been carried
away on the wings OF experience.
There will be months of drilling and
drugery, before what ordinarily Is call
ed the real soldier fife begins The
training, which must be undergone Is
to prepare the man for his higher
work and, moreover, it is intended to
safeguard his life and to make him
filter to help to safeguard his country.

CITIES THAT NOURISH

Citizsns Should Take Interest In Poll.
tics to Insure Encouragement OF

'+The thriving industrial cities OF to
day are those that seek to do the best
for their industries" says prominent
Milwaukee manufacturer. Even the
practice Of giving factory sites free to
manufacturers as an incentive to locate
In the smaller communities Is still In
vogue.
'sThere are many towns we'll located
with respect to railroad facilities and
waterways, and also convenient to good
labor markets, that are seeking indus
tries, yet, despite this competition for
industries, there are many cities that
are actually hostile to them. Some are
unwittingly driving away the support
Of the populace. 1t can only result In
Industries leaving, and If industries
continue to leave what is going to be-
come of the population?
In my opinion, it rests with the PEG
pie. The people themselves should take
a greater interest In their town coun.

their national government. Then much
of the unfair, unreasonable class legis.
lation could be prevented. As 1t Is, the
professional politicians often have full
