When You Set Hens.

IF. Fl. Shellabarger, Poultry Expert
There are few important condi-
tons to be considered when you set
a hen:
First, should be the location OF the
nest which should be a rather secluded
place where no other fowls can get to
her or where she will not likely be
disturbed by rats, cats, minks' or
weasels. A cracker box, with one side

and be careful to pack 1t well into the
corners ana at the same time be sure
to have enough in the center 30 the
hen can not work the eggs down on
to the bottom Of the box and break
them in getting on or off. The nest
should be made with a gradual In
cline to the center to keep the eggs IN
the best condition. We have found

ganization of men in America that
owes such implied allegiance to an en-

is really shocking confession of inn
piled disloyalty. They are supporting
this government only by keeping still,
but they are doing nothing against
Germany. This Won Bosse speaking
of his predecessor in office, DR.. Hex

"The alliance by its declaration OF
firm loyalty, when hostilities were i'm

most beneficial manner by immediate

ocal stand Of Dr. Hexamer at the
time"
That is at least an admission that
an uprising of German had
been thought possible and it might
have come about had not the presi-
dent of all the German societies in
this country taken steps against it.
Undoubtedly. Mr.. Hexamer served the
country by taking that stand, but 1t is
somewhat humiliating to be told that
such thing was not only thought OF,
but was even regarded as possible.
But Won Bose is not entitled to
much American consideration for he
has been wholly out of consonance
with Americans. He upheld the
Of the Lusitania, even lauded
that deed Of piracy and murder on the
high seas-this was amply brought
out by the production Of the doctors
own and admitted speeches. 1t was
also shown that this man had defended
the whole piratical and "spurlos
versenkt" policy Of Germany and also
the invasion and even the rarishing OF
Belgium. When he was confronted
with these utterances from his own
pre-war speeches he had to admit that
he had made such statements at the
time. but he explained that he was
taking the German viewpoint and that
viewpoint was that Germany had been
attacked, that it was making a de-
fensive warfare and that Belgium had
been a party to the conspiracy to at
tack Germany But while Won Bose
admitted. or rather explained that he
was then laboring under such impress

IT MAKES A GREAT DIFFERENCE.
Davenport Democrat
Did You ever know of young man
in Davenport who left this country
and went to Germany to get employ
ment in a factory or on a farm there
because he could get better wages in
Germany than he could get here?
Did you ever know of German
who, after coming here, returned to
Germany to live unless he had made
his fortune here or had fallen heir to
an estate in Germany?
Haven't you known of men who had
made their fortune here who went
back to Germany intending to live
there but who came back because
they could not stand conditions in
modern Gernlany-because it was not
like the old Germany of their youth?
But millions of Germans have come
to this country because here they can
get higher wages and live much better
than they did in Germany. If these
millions of Germans did not come to
this country because Of the better
conditions here, then why did they
come and why did they not go back
as soon as they got enough together
to get return tickets?

The speaker was a school teacher,
an intelligent, capable woman. keenly
alive to world problems and progress
sive movements. She teaches debating
and essay writing and social prob
lens to high school boys and girls, and
they love the work. She teaches them
ideals of honesty and fair play, OF
ambition and success, Of true Ameri-
canism and other living subjects not
found in the text books. Yet she has to
give many of her precious evenings to
marking papers and much Of her
strength and energy to bookkeeping
after her teaching is done. Her"leisure"
is joke. She snatches it at rare in
tervals from the round OF extra activi-
ties that come to her outside of teach
ing hours. She has TO postpone her
own reading indefinitely and look
upon current articles in the best
magazines as temptations until re-
ports are made out. And still people
wonder why SO many young women
turn their backs upon the refined oc-
cupation OF school teaching to take
up every other line Of work imagin-
able.
Private secretaries for school
teachers might be one solution. Let
the liveable teacher teach, and let a
paid secretary do the transcribing OF
daily grades aud tardy absence marks
from book to book as monthly and an
'nual reports demand. Let the school
teacher finish her days work within
reasonable hours, and then let her be
free to study and seek what recreation
she most needs. Why add to the inn
portant job of educating the rising
generation second Job OF infinitely
detailed secretarial work?

CHAPTER 1.

"America Must Be Punished!"
When war broke out between the
United States and Germany, on April
6, 1917, l was in Berlin. had lived
and practiced my profession as dent
list there for Ia years, and the kaiser
had been one Of my patients during
all that time.
don't know exactly how many
visits the kaiser paid me profession
ally, but ] know / am safe in saying
they were not less than 100. and the
probabilities are they were closer to
$50. Almost invariably, after my work
was done, the kaiser remaiped any
where from ten minutes to an hour
and half to discuss the topics Of the
hour with me.
When we declared war against Ger

American citizen-as patriotic an
American, believe, as might be found
anywhere had lived in Germany so
long, had developed SO many profess
sional friendships in Germany's most
favored circles and was SO generally
regarded as a particular favorite Of
the kaiser himself, that found 1t hard
to realize that nevertheless / had be-
come an alien enemy.
The same day the breaking OF Of
diplomatic relations was announced,
the German newspapers had published
the provisions of an old treaty be-
tween Germany and the United States
which gave Americans in Germany
and Germans in America nine months
after a declaration of war between the
two nations within which to, settle
their affairs and leave the country.
This treaty." the newspapers point
ed out, twas made In the time of Fred
erick the Great. 1t has never been
repealed. Germany will respect it"
As there were so many more Germans
In America than there were Americans
In Germany. this prompt announce
ment of Germany's intentions regard
ing this treaty was quite understand
able and it seemed most improbable
that Germany would adopt any harsh
measures toward Americans and
thereby invite reprisals.
Had the situation been reversed, Of
course, the Germans would undoubt-
eddy have thought it expedient to In
tern Americans no matter what hap
pened to their own countrymen in
America, and, in that event, this an
cient treaty would have shared the
fate of that which guaranteed Bel
gums neutrality. One 'scrap Of pa
per" more or less would never have
been allowed to interfere with Ger
many's destiny"
Influential Germans who called to
see me professionally during that Pc
riod almost invariably expressed the
hope that l was not planning to leave

The United States has in France an
army greater than was ever assem-

and four hundred thousand of the
men have been engaged in some OF
the most severe fighting of the sum
mer. But if you will read the casu-
atty list elsewhere, you will see that
we have not so far lost as many mer
as were lost on one side alone in the
battle of Gettysburg, where not more
than 100000 men were engaged. This
shows how much more deadly was
the fighting of 1865 than the fight
ing of 1914?
