The grand duke left his castle sat

generation, there is little wonder at
the results.
How often we read Of some devil
ment perpetrated by men under the
influence of liquor" men who in their
sober moments would shrink in hor-
ror from the doing. Germany, how
ever, has had no sober moments, but
has lived, plotted and plundered while
under the Influence"
The adjustment of every saloon,
Of every brewery, of every spot or
place where intoxicants can be OBJ
tanned might in time work wonders
in the national outlook of the German
Fatherland; but while booze rules the
camp, the cabin and the palace of
Hohenzollern one need expect no hu-
manizing aspect in the manner of
Hunnish warfare.
Drunken Germany!
Drunk with liquor, drunk with lust
for blood, drunk and debauched as no
other country on earth has been since
the days Of the barbarous hordes Of
ancient times, we may not expect any
good to come out Of Germany, until
the bloated, besotted beer guzzlers
are brought to their knees, and made
to feel the strong arm Of an outraged
Christian world laid upon them in
severity. Men such as these, filled
with the lusts of the flesh, can UNI
derstand nothing save the power of a
military arm which will crush them
into the dust.

are exceptionally resistant to leaf
spot diseases. They are also very
hardy. The Progressive has been
found to withstand the winters of
the Middle West better than any
other variety except the Dunlap, one
of its parents. The Superb also is
harder than most varieties of straw
berries. Another remarkable char
acteristic of these varieties is that if
their blooms are killed by frost they
soon flower again. Therefore in many
sections subject to late spring frosts,
which often destroy the crop, these
varieties are particularly valuable.
Small Crop First Season
If plants of the everbearing type
are set early in the spring, small
crop can be had the first season.
Plants which have been set for a year
give fair yield at the time the usual
strawberry crop is borne. For the
period Immediately after this early
summer crop the amount of fruit Sc
cured is small. In August, September,
and October it becomes larger and
under favorable conditions the late
summer or autumn crop from GER
tain varieties may equal or exceed
the early summer crop. Thus instead
of a constant supply throughout the
season there is distinct early sum-
mer crop. than period of compare

Corn Is Champion Food Crop

Corn, on a given area, will produce
more human food than any other crop
commonly grown on American farms.
This crop heads the list in units Of
energy produced per. acre and is
ahead of all other crops except navy
beans and soy beans in tissue-building
material. In the latter element, soy
beans far outclass all other crops,
showing twice as much protein per
acre as navy beans, which rank sec
ond in this regard.
The dairy cow is the most efficient
human food lmilk) and the hog is the
grain into meat, producing five times
as much per acre Of crops as does any
other animal.

Dying By Roadside

Clayton.--Found at the road side,

motorist two miles west of Clayton.

throat had been cut and the razor
with which the deed had been COM
mitted lay close by. The bleeding
man is still alive and the Jackson
tourist hurried back to Clayton and
summoned Deputy Weatherbee, who,
in turn called DR.. Spaulding of Hud-

Michigan Should Give Woman Bale

1t is conceded without argument
that the thirty-second annual conven-
ton Of the Michigan Equal Suffrage
association, which closed its splendid
and spirited sessions recently, mark
ed a triumphant drive for full citi-
zenship.
1t did another thing. It demon
strated womankind's magnificent
mental equipment for the widened re-
sponsibilities and opportunities that
are coming to her as the fruits Of a
half century Of brave battling for her
inalienable rights.
For convincing and fne-tempered
advocacy of a great cause, it would be
impossible to surpass the incisive de-
liverance of Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait, president of the National Wom-
ans Suffrage association, or the in
spirational appeals of Mrs. Frank j.
Shuler, corresponding secretary of
the national organization.
High qualification for the larger
influence that lies just ahead of the
womanhood of this state, has been
