THE SIZE OF IT.

After speaking tour of middle
and western cities, Secretary McAdoo
sums up the popular sentiment OF
these regions thus: .u"
"This war was forced on Uncle
Sam. Now that he is in it, we don't
intend that he shall be licked"
This Is correct and 1t probably
would fit all sections of the country.
The Middle West, West and Far
West were not for war. The people
of these regions would rather farm
than fight, any time. They expressed
their views in November last. They
were honestly, not weakly or cow
arlly pacific. They were pacific as
the result of serious thinking and,
when war became national neces-
sity, they went into the war business
with the same seriousness.
When British, French and Italian
commissions come to this country and
get magnificent reception at the ma.
tional capital and the metropolis,
they are delighted with the friendli-
ness and heartiness of their treatment
and they get pretty fair view of the
nations material strength, but the
great power of the nation lies far be-
hind the battleships in the Potomac
or in the North RIVER and the roar of
harbor fertilization cannon is not the
real voice of the nation: It is the
deadly seriousness Of the American
millions who do not greet and enter
tain that is most important to the
Allies, most to be dreaded by the Ger
mans. And those millions, in fields,
stores, factories and homes, are en-
gagged, seriously, earnestly, calmly, in
the work Of making Uncle Sam a
winner. "
Up to last fall, they thought that
the country west of the Alleghenies
was dead or merely going as the East
goes. They counted the votes of New
York and a few other eastern baili.
wicks and declared a president. Then
they woke up. The West had done
it's own thinking. 1t is doing it's own
thinking today, without any roaring.
It does not intend that Uncle Sam
shall be licked. 1t will harvest and
prove that it has turned back world
famine 1t will offer it's young men
with no noise louder than the fare
we'll kiss. 1t will take its share OF
the Liberty bonds. 1t will be willing
and thorough in any sacrifice it may
be called upon to make. If there are
still pacifists left, they are only a
few who are afflicted with the hyphen,
or who would run before they'd fight,
whatever the cause. ...-
Mr.. McAdoo has had a glance at the
real war strength of the country. 1t
would be mighty good thing should
others in high authority back east
similarly inform themselves Big of.
ficials, big forts, big guns, big ships,
big money, big hurrahs back East.
But the real bigness is the determine
ton in the hearts and labors of the
people who, as Mr.. McAdoo puts it,
don't intend that Uncle Sam should
| be licked. -.

WON'T LEND FUNDS.

When the proposition was MADE
to the state board of university
and school lands to purchase
100000 worth Of Liberty Bonds
from the school funds, Thomas
Hall, secretary of state, and Carl 10
sticky voted in the negative. the
other two members present, Governor
Frazier and N. C. Macdonald, favored
the purchase. What Cyclone Bill
LANCER would have done were he pres

money was needed to finance the
farmers Of North Dakota. Probably

--- OF the North Dakota farmer, many Of
.s.swholan ar purchasing Liberty Bonds
to help finance the war. The Trib-
une is confident if the farmers had
been asked they would have voted
the purchase of 100000 Liberty
Bonds from the school fund joyfully.
The federal government has dealt
generously with North Dakota in en-
downing her with lands for the support
of the common schools and the in
situations Of higher learning. but at
the first opportunity North Dakota
has to show some degree of graft
tude for this rich heritage, Mr.. Hall
and Mr.. Kositzky object.
o'"Their vote does not reflect public
sentiment in North Dakota. It may
represent the dictates of Townley,
who has scored the Liberty Loan

demonstrated his hostility toward the
administrations policies in entering
the war
1t is not the intent of this editorial
to question the patriotism of either
Mr.. Hall or Mr.. Kositzky The Trib-
une merely believes they fblundered in
not permitting this state to invest a

There is still time to correct. the
impression that North Dakota is fol-
lowing too servilely the socialistic
commands Of Townley, ct al.
The federal government gave US the
lands through the sale of which the
school fund accrued. Is it too much
to ask now, in gratitude for a gift
valued in the millions, a paltry loan
OF 100000 at 3 IL per cent?
Only portion of the 100000 could
be loaned to farmers, anyway, and tho
rest must seek investments drawing

RIGHT TREATMENT FOR R0UP
Use Good Sharp Ak and Then Bury
Carcasses Deeply or Burn Them
Several Forms Of AiIment.

The best way to cure rOup among
poultry is to use a good sharp ak and
then bury the carcasses deeply or burn
them. Roup may take several forms,
appearing at first like severe cold.
Use enough permanganate of potash
in the drinking water to give it rich
wine color. Disinfect the yards and
houses with a per cent solution of
carbOlic acid.
Individual treatment should be the
same as for colds or catarrh. Press
the nostrils together with the thumb
and forefinger and apply pressure be-
tween the nostrils and eyes to loosen
the discharge. Then plunge the head
into two per cent solution Of per-
manganate of potash for 20 to 80 sec.
Onds. This treatment should be con
tinued twice daily until all symptoms
disappear.

TO STUDY CHINESE LANGUAGE
Business Men Undertake Hard Job,
After Realizing Its Importance,
Says Uncle Sans Consul.

The fact that there are 5000 char
acters in common use in the Chinese
language and many times that num-
Der altogether, including the charac-
tiers not generally used In Chinese
newspapers. has prevented American
business men and others dealing with
the Chinese from attempting to master
the language. For a long time bust
ness men have considered it important
when exploiting a market to have some
knowledge of the language in any part
of the world except China. There 1t
has been regarded as an impossibility.
This impression has been somewhat
shaken recently, however, according to
Uncle Sans consul general at Han
kow, China. and foreigners doing bust
ness in China are turning to a study
of the difficult language. Glasses have
been organized under the auspices Of
the British chamber Of commerce In
Hankow and are open to students Of
the British, allied and neutral nations.

BEGIN POULTRY LICE FIGHT
Effective Powder Can Be Made at
Home by Using CresoI, Carbolic
Acid and Gasoline.

A very good lice powder for use on
poultry may be made at home from in
gradients that, when bought separate
ly, will cost little as compared with
the expense of commercial lice pow
der made of the same or similar mate
rails. One of the best of these home
made powders is prepared by mixing
one pint of cresOl, or the same quantity
of strong, crude carbOlic acid, with
three pints of gasoline. To this is
added, while stirring, just enough plas-
ter of paris to take up the liquid. 1t
will take about ten pounds of plaster
for the amounts of cresol and gasoline
given. Larger or small amounts may
be prepared by increasing or decreas-
ing the three ingredients proportion
ately. After making this powder it
should be kept in a well-covered recep-
tacle to keep it from losing strength.
The best way to apply the powder is
to put it into sitting box made by
punching numerous small holes into q
tin can, and, holding the bird by the
feet, head downward, sift the powder
well into the fluff.

MANURE AS A TOP DRESSING
II Greatly Stimulates Growth Of Wheat
and Assists to Prevent res
Winter Killing. T'~

By NJ. r. MILLER. Missouri College Of
Agriculture)
Every year sees a greater number Of
Missouri farmers using manure as q
top dressing on wheat. There Ii con-
siderable evidence to show where
wheat is grown in a rotation, MANURE
can very often be applied to better adj
vantage as to q top dressing on this
crop than as an application before
corn. There are two principal advan-
tages Of this practice. The first one is
that it greatly stimulates the growth
Of the wheat and helps to prevent win,
ter killing with resulting Increase in
yield. The second one is that since
clover and grass are usually sOwn with
the wheat and since manure aids very
greatly in securing stand Of these
crops when used as top dressing with
the wheat, this alone may be sufficient
reason for its application. AS mat
ter of fact the top dressing Of wheat
with manure almost insures q stand of
clover or grass on land which Is at all
suited to these crops. The land may
be too sour or too wet to grow clover.
Much land in Missouri is too sour. II
it is only slightly sour, the manure
greatly aids in getting q clover stand.
If it is very sour, lime is usually es-
sential i'm addition.

U. S. AIDING ALIENS
Naturalization Bureau Is Made
Great Humanizing Force.
Aceomplishes the Unusual, Incidental.
iy, by Producing Revenue for
Uncle Sam Above Its
Expenses.

How one Of Uncle Sans routine gov.
ernmental agencies has been trans
formed into great humanizing force
ana at the same time has been placed
upon a self-supporting basis-some.
thing unusual in governmental affairs
is told In the annual report of Com.
missioner Richard X. Campbell of the
bureau of naturalization to the secre-
tary of labor.
This has been accomplished by link
ing together those state Americanizing
agencies, the public schools of the en-
tire country, with the department of
labor, through its naturalization bu-
reau In the definite and concerted &C
ton OF helping our foreign friends
qualify upon higher standard of ad-
mission to American citizenship.
In 1908 when a portion of this bu-
reau's activities were conducted by an
other department, the cost ran more
than $4,000. above the naturalization
fees collected, but since all Of the af-
fairs looking to making citizens have
been turned over to this bureau of the
department of labor there has been an
annual average of over $65 900 in fees
In excess of all cost of maintenance.
This bureau is not supported from the
general taxes collected by the govern
ment. Indeed, the CT. 1ens of the Unit
ed States do not bear one cent Of the
expense of this governmental agency.
1t is all paid by the foreigner who is
admitted to citizenship. In other
words, from the So paid by each for
eigner for a good administration of the
naturalization law, all of the expenses
OF his characterization are paid and
over SG5,OOO, on an average, has been
turned into Uncle Sans pocketbook
every year.
Last year every superintendent of
schools in every city and town of
1000 population and over was ap-
pealed to by the naturalization bu-
reau to join this nationwide Amer
movement. Favorable re-
sponses came from every state in the
union expressive of desire to CO.
operate. Six hundred and thirteen
cities and towns opened the doors of
the public schools to the fOreign-born
friend in order that the names of all
the candidates for citizenship and their |
wives might be sent to them by the |
bureau of naturalization.
The helping hand was extended for |
The first time and is still held out with |

ire seeking citizenship who came to
his country with dreams of a better
nent of their condition.
During the past year there was filed
.O7 1876 declarations of intention, 10S,-
100 petitions for naturalization, and
'3,911 certificates were issued by the
'Ourts. Add to these figures approx
nately 10000, representing the wives

be result is ~ imposing army of 4

China's Square-HoIed
Coins Melted for Metal

China is losing its "cash." the
characteristic coins with square
holes in the center that have
been the basis of all trade in the
interior of China for many gen.
erations, Uncle Sans consul gen.
eral at HOngkOng reports. The
rise in the price of copper has
rendered these brass coins,
which usually contain about 80
per cent copper, more valuable
as metal than as a medium OF
exchange. AS a result the coins
are being exported to Japan
where they are melted and the
refined copper shipped to the
United States.
The fact that single Japa-
nese firm is i'm the market for 81

enormous requirements of a vast
population like that of China
are In proportion, and the melt
ing up of such coins disturbs the
balance of supply and demand.
