Rio de~Janerio. (SpeciaD Before the

OF the American and his activities was
yast--as vast as the average Ameri-
cans ignorance of the Brazilian and his
affairs.
Now. after more than three years of
var confusion. the Brazilian has his
ideas about the Yankee, and fairly
clear ideas they are. too. The change
was brought about by an utterly UNI

Much has been said and written
about the Tightening of FAn-American
ties. Conventions there were at which
representatives of he, more thar 20
western continent republics b%anqucted
and made speeches. Commercial in
~terests strove to weave tight the web
OF business relations. Diplomats piled
plans and policies for the common @ac-
ceptance of the Monroe doctrine. THE
press of the two continents clamored
for a Qualification OF American in
terests. But the man who is putting
it over" is the impressario OF the cellu-
Told stage.
For it follows. as day follows night,
that Pan-American ties of friendship
are possible only when the friends are
acquainted with each other. NSeeing
American implements OF progress in
action creates a commercial demand
for those implements. Living scenes
OF the American in his home and BUSH
ness makes the American character
understood n appreciated, and the
task Of the diplomat becomes easy.
Formerly he had to combat the notion
that the Americans soul was stamped
with the dollar Sign. and that his in
stincts were imperialistic. The interest
aroused by screen pictures of America

And so all wars which nave been
waged for the prestige of kings or the
territorial extension of empires fail in
Their analogy. There is a quality in this
war whish evokes a spiritual esponse
and that will be a new kind of cement
for the making of Il stronger and more
triumphant people when it is over.
w are not fighting this battle alone.
I am not even ambitious tina the glory
of the. final conquest should come to us
alone. VI would far rather have the tri-
ufnph of democracy the reward of the
associated effort of democratic peoples
where. so that when the war is
over neither we nor they can have any
monopoly of that virtue. but will be
partners in it's glory. and SO associates in
the future progress which is to be made.
For we must never forget, when we
speak of democracy. that it is not an
accomplishment, it is not Il. thing that has
been done, but it 10 a progresS: it is Il
system of growth. and though today we
might achieve what our limited vision
proclaims to us as the democratic ideal,
it's quality is such that when WI stand
on what now seems to us the highest
peak of that range. there will be greater
heights to tempt and inspire us.
And so. when this war is over. and

medievalism and a~utocracy. there will
still be work for David to do worthy of
his best efforts. and in the accomplish
ment of it large benefits to the race still
remain to be achieved.

time of the accident and its discov-
cry is o known. County Coroner
r. S. Westaby was called, and ar
rived at the scene late in the after
noon. The cause of death was one
of such apparent accidental nature
that there was no inquest held.
The young man "a working on
the farm of Roy Burch, six miles
south of Winfred. He was consider
ed an expert in the management and
care of the gas tractor and was plow-
ing with one of them. From all ap-
%pearances it was considered that the
pillow clevis had broken from the
pillow, and that he had backed the
tractor up to make the coupling.
The levers of the gang pillow were
pillow points. The tractor must have
rolled farther than he anticipated
and he must have neglected to brake
II or regard the threatening levers.
That he had thrown the tractor
clutch put is evidence that the ma
chine rolled of its own weight far
Their than he intended, for the engine
was still running when the body was
found, and of curse the clutch
was not engaged. The levers struck
him in the back and pressed. him
tightly against the engines OF the
tractor. The levers did not pene-
trate the body. He was killed by
the heavy pressure and the backward
and forward movement of the ma
chine due to the impulse of the pis-
tons.
No concern was felt at the house
over the non-appearance of the
youngman for dinner. The rest of
the family ate, then as he had not
appeared, one of the other men went
to the distant field to learn either
the cause for his ~lateness or to send
him to dinner. 1t was only upon a
close approach to the still running
engine that the true state of affairs
was learned. The coroner was at
cnce notified.
The body was taken to- Winfred
for preparation for burial at the
home of his parents, who live in that
town. No announcements have been
made for the time or place of the
funeral.

The Feverish Onion

IT appears from some experiments made
i in Washington that when plants are
wounded their respiration increases and
at the same time their temperature per-
ceptibly rises as if a kind of fever had
been produced by the wound
A thermOeleetrie apparatus capable of
registering a change of one four-hun-
dredth of degree was employed. When
a potato was wounded the fever mani
tested itself by an elevation of tempera-
ture which was greatest at the end of
twenty-four hours, when it began slowly
to decline.
An onion similarly treated acquired an
increase of temperature many times
greater than that shown by the potato,
and the fever instead of being confined
to the neighborhood of the wound affected
the whole onion. In fact the onion proved
to be more readily affected in this way
than any other vegetable experimental
with.
The rise of temperature is caused by
increased absorption of oxygen.
