SPIRIT is FINE.

The spirit of the men and officers
that intrepid nation are ready to en-
dure uncomplainingly every hardship
and sacrifice imposed upon them by
this German war. They are not ready
to quit until victory is achieved The
people of this country cannot realize
what the people of the districts in
vaded by the German and Austrian
armies have had to endure and are
enduring, and never can realize it..
Such things must be brought wildly
home in actual experience to be ap-
preciated. 1t is remarkable that the
morale of France and Belgium has
withstood the supreme test with such
fortitude; but if reports are to be re-
lied upon, and We believe they are.
the people of those sticken countries
would welcome death before they
would consent to surrendering to the
Germans. With such spirit among
civilians and soldiers it is inconceiv-
able that Germany can subdue France
considering the aid Great Britain,
the United States and other allies
are rendering. There are now approx
mately 100000 United States troops
in France, one-third of them already
on the firing line, with another one
third anxious to get there and al
most ready to he sent. 1t will not be
long until the remainder will be
ready for service and by that time
there will be another half million
there. 1t is hoped that 100000 Of
our boys will be in the fighting zone
before. cold weather seriously inter
feres with military operations.

THE CAUSES OF POVERTY.

Howe's Monthly: In large ma
jority of cases poverty is not due to
injustice or low wages, but to shift
lessness. l may be the only man in
the world who believes this, but l
do believe it as the result of long and
intimate experience with life. One
of the things We know is that mil
lions of poor men in the United
States have become well-to-do and
lived respectable and useful lives
while about it. This means, without
doubt, that there are no conditions
in this country grimly calculated to
keep the poor down. And another
thing must be admitted: Every poor
man who has become well-to-do has
been reasonably Industrious and tenn
perate, and reasonably fair and po-
lite; not single one has been actual
ly shiftless. We have a tremendous
number of men who are successful
in greater or less degree, and few
of them are particularly brilliant; in
deed, most of them are dull. I saw
a statement the other day that of all
the men now living, not to exceed 300
will be known in the future as great
geniuses. The wonder is that so
many dull men get along so well. So
don't be discouraged if you are dull;
you live among dull people, and
their processes are not beyond yon
There are only few essentials to
remember: industry, temperance, po-
likeness, fairness and such helpful
ness in community and world affairs
as is reasonably possible. 1t doesn't
pay to be too stingy; and it doesn't
pay to be too liberal. 1t doesn't pay
to be too mean; but it does pay to
be good.

The recent espionage act passed by
congress contains some drastic pro-
visions, and the punishment prividel
is exceedingly severe. To show how
much ground this law covers we quote
from it these words: whoever shall
by word or act support or favor the
cause of any country with which the
United States is at war, or by word or
States therein, shall be punished by a
fine of not more than $4,000 or i'm
prisonment for not more than twenty
years, or both. That act ought to go
a long way toward putting a quietus
on pro-Germanism.

BRAZIL'S DUTY.

Germany a few months ago was eX-
pecting the United States to accOmp-
lish in the war about as much as
Brazil is accomplishing. But the pco-
pie of the United States are not built
that way. They did not go into the
war with the expectation of Sinking
responsibility and action. They went
into it with their eyes open, fully de-
termined to do a great nations part.
Brazil ought to follow suit and be in
position after the war is over to get
credit for sacrificing something for
humanity. Brazil could send an army
of million men to Europe to help
the allies and she ought to do it,
True, the pro-German element is
stronger in Brazil, comparatively,
than in the United States, but there
would be far less pro-German senti-
ment there today if the Brazilian 10y
al public had taken the firm stand
taken by the loyal public In this
country. The pro-German here in
the United States has been crowded
into a corner-a very meek and doc
lie animal--with all the fight knocked
out of him. When the war first broke
between Germany and the United
States, the pro-German in some sec
lions assumed a bold demeanor. He
tried it right here in Hamilton coun-
ty and went to the extent OF under
taking a boycott of the press. How
ever, he soon found out he had hold
of the hot end of the poker and after
changing hands a few times relapsed
into "innocuous desuetude." All that
is needed in the presence of pro-
German is self-assertion. He is a
coward, just like the German soldiers
who war on women and children and
will not stand in the open for the
pernicious principles in which he be-
lieyes Brazil made the mistake of
not going after the prO-Germans in
red-hot fashion, the only fashion they
can appreciate.

USE BUT Is PER ] CENT
WHEAT after HARVEST
Food Administration Gives lntimati0n
of Amount of Wheat Allowed
After Harvest.

That not more than seventy-five per
cent of wheat -four will be permitted
in bread after the harvest, is the plain
intimation in the reply OF the United
States food administration to the in
quiry of an institution which asked
for information on which to prepare
recipes for publication in October and
November magazines.
The reply was as follows
Cannot anticipate conservation
required October and November
until we can accurately guage this
years crop, and determine the re-
quirements of Allies. You will be
quite safe in preparing your re-
cipes to include not more than
seventy-fve per cent wheat.
The proportion will not be determine
ed until Mr. Hoover returns from
Europe, where he is comforting with
the food controllers of the Allies about
the reserve of food that it is proposed
to build up, to guard against danger
of want among civilized people, no
matter how long the war lasts.

Save Wheat for Seed.

Now that the harvest season is on.
the farmers should begin to take into
consideration the need for saving IN
adequate supply Of seed wheat for next
season. Many would have planted
wheat this spring if the seed had been
available. Those who do not have a
few acres of wheat on their own farm
should be on the lookout for seed
wheat for next season. call for
enough wheat to seed 100 acres has
already been left at the county
agents office. Many are anxious o
plant some winter or spring wheat
next year who did not have any this
present season, due 70 the shortage o.
seed. Whenever fdrmer has a field
of known variety Of winter wheat, it
will pay him to hold lit for, seed.
1t is feared that MANY farmers will
throw their wheat on the market soon

Picnic Endorsed by Food Men.

The time of the picnic is here.
The picnic is heartily endorsed by
the United States food administration
But the picnic may easily become re-
sponsible for food waste, unless those
who participate in it are cautioned
not only to carry the kind of food
that should be enjoyed but are urged
to be careful not to take more than
is needed.
Mr.. Hoover asks picnickers not to
pack up more food than they will eat
and to take home whatever food is
left.
He asks them to omit wheat bread
sandwiches and beef sandwiches.
He urges them to use only war time
foods.
And he suggests for a very desir-
able picnic supper:
Potatoes baked in the bonfire or
ashes.
Wheatless bread with butter.
Hard boiled eggs or white fish cook
ed at the picnic.
Sliced tomatoes or other vegetables.
Ice cream.
Barley cookies.
Fruit.
The food administration wants the
children to have their picnics this
year as formerly. Every church or
Sunday school in Iowa will have at
least one during the summer. And it
is so easy to make them conform to
the conservation program that waste
of food on their account surely will
not be possible.

The war has pounded some pro-
gressive ideas into the heads of the
planters of the south. For years
they would raise nothing but cotton
and Us result robbed the soil OF
its fertility. Cotton is harder than
wheat or corn on soil and the south
has for years used large quantities
of fertilizers, mostly potash. When
the war broke out it was impossible
to import the fertilizers and the south
was compelled to diversity its crops.
After devoting season to another
crop, the soil produces better cotton
than ever and it will probably be the
rule in large sections of the south
hereafter to rotate cotton with some
food product, such as corn, oats, bar
ley, ETC. The south has had more ag-
ricultural sense pounded into its head
by four years of war than had been
pounded in during the previous CEN
fury.

Baron Burian, like Won kuehlmann,
sometimes tells the truth. In his re-
cent address he said that 1T is not
necessary for any of the central pow
ers' present enemies to come to the
situation of Russia and Roumania."
The truthfulness of that statement is
becoming clearer every day. However,
if Germany doesn't have care some
central powers may come to a Rus
sian or Roumanian ending. For fur

Sow Rape in COrnfields.

Rape is the most profitable crop that
can be sown with corn at the last cul-
tivation or after the corn has been laid
by. The experiment stations OF the
State agricultural college as well as
many corn belt farmers, have found
that it excells all the supplementary
crops in increasing the gains made on
pork and decreasing the cost of those
gains. Its high content of protein
makes it an admirable feed for supple
menting the corn which lacks this ele-
ment. Rape may be sown between the
rows just previous to the last cultiva-
ton with hand seeGer. If the corn
has already been laid by, one horse
drill may be used and more uniform
distribution and covering secured. Not
more than five pounds per acre should
be used. The cost of seed is Is cents
per pound. a,#tEt.
Rape is harvested by the "hogging
down" process, which is profitable
and labor-saving method, Of feeding
hogs. By eating the corn and rape at
the same time, the hogs provide them
selves with balanced ration. Anoth.
err advantage of the growing Of rape
is that it shades the ground and keeps
down the growth Of weeds.

Fire Blight Appears on Trees.

Fire blight has begun to appear in
different orchards throughout the state.
Blight is disease of fruit trees that
is often known by other names as ap-
pie, pear, blossom or twig blight, de-
pending upon what tree or part of a
tree is attacked. The effects of this
disease upon the tree are very similar
to those of fire.
Orchard owners who have found this
disease in their orchards are advised
by r. S. Herrick, extension horticul-
turist at Iowa State college, to cut off
the infected portions of the tree, max
ing the cut from six inches to foot
below where the blight appears on the
outside of the bark.
The disease works into the cambium
or growing layer from the outside and
it travels faster in that layer than on
the outside bark. All cuts should be
made as close as possible and parallel
to the remaining branch. Avoid stubs
and shoulders.
Tools and wounds should be disin-
fected with a 10000 corrosive subli
mate solution. Where only the fruit
spurs are affected, it is generally no;
necessary to cut them, but the disease
must be kept from the larger branches
or it will kill the tree. 1t is a good
plan to watch for the appearance of
plant lice and destroy them, because
they carry the disease.

Protect Hogs from Heat.

Those who have had experience in
the shipping of livestock know that
many hogs die from the heat in trans
it at this time Of year. Some shippers
from this county lost large per cent
of their hogs a few weeks ago, while
enroute to Chicago.
At present prices this means con-
siderable loss to the shipper and also
a waste of valuable meat needed by
the nation. Animal husbandrymen at
Iowa State college suggest that much
of this waste could be avoided by pay
ing a little more attention to the hogs
when they are shipped.
Sometimes the mistake is made OF
pouring cold water on the back of an
overheated hog. This will often hasten
it's death and should never be done.
Some shippers make the mistake OF
overlooking a car in warm weather.
This is point concerning which more
care should be taken. "a
Before loading, it is good plan to
clean out the car and bed it with sand,
which can be wetted down thoroughly
and kept damp. Ice hung from the
ceiling in sacks of burlap will reduce
the temperature of the car and also
sprinkle cool water on the hogs, pre-
venting them from becoming too hot.
1t is also we'll to cut down on the corn
ration shortly before shipping, due to
the heating effect OF that feed. Oats
can be substituted and the grain ration
need not be over one pound of grain
per hundredweight for "a hours. Many
shippers feed too much while the hogs
are in transit.

Local Girl is Overseas Nurse.

One Webster City young woman has
found her hearts desire in patriotic
service
This is Miss Alma Linahon, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Linahon, Third
street, who, ever since she was lit
tie child, has wanted to become a
nurse. She is now enlisted in a
nurses Red Cross unit, which is al
ready in service in France. Miss Lima
hon, it is believed, is the first Webster
City young woman to be engaged in
overseas service.
"Alma has wanted to be nurse ever
since she was little girl" her mother
said in speaking of her yesterday.
"She wrote us from Des Moines, where
she was employed, in February last
that she had enlisted in nurses unit
of the Red Cross"
A. short time thereafter her name
appeared in Des Moines paper with
others of a unit of Red Cross nurses
to leave at once for oversee service.
Her parents have not heard from her
since that time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Linahon also have a
son in military service. This Is Ralph
Linahon, who is with the Webster City
contingent at Camp Cody.

The country sympathizes with Col
and Mrs. Roosevelt over the death OF
their son while in the service of his
country in France True, the bereave-
ment to them is no greater than would
come to any fond parents in like af-
Fiction and they are entitled to no
more consideration. However, the
Roosevelt boys all volunteered in the
service, with the consent of the moth
er and the encouragement OF the faith
er. People who appreciate the patrio-
tism of such men as Roosevelt, know
that, while mourning the loss of his
boy, he is glad that he could make the
sacrifice. There are still three Roose-
welt boys in the army, every one in ac-
tive service, and it is hoped they may
survive, but not one of them would
shirk duty to save his own life and
everybody knows that the colonel
would rather lose all his boys than
have one of them do an act unworthy
a soldier. This much ought to be con-
