HE WILL SHUT THEM UP

Our republican friends keep steady
in their "yapping" as the New York
Evening post would term it, at the
heels of the president while he goes
on with his great work as a world
statesman Roosevelt, Lodge Knox
and others are busy themselves
with kind of policy that is heaping
i'll favor on them.
1t is more and more apparent that
Wilson is going to make a great eff
fort to secure the league of nations
and it is now very nearly certain that
he is agreed with the leading British
statesmen as to what this is going to
be. He is accomplishing much in these
days that will be measured by the his
torian who will in later years follow
in his tracks to develop stage by stage
a true account of the peace Wilson
is securing and the guarantee against
a future repetition of the war.
Other statesmen think differently
from our republican friends, They
find more in him than the trancend-
ent idealism with which the repub-
licans charge him in his seeking af-
ter a permanent league against war
For instance here is the Marquis de
Chamber grandson of La Fayette and
vice president of the foreign affairs
committee of the French Chamber of
Deputies who says in an interview
copyrighted by the New York World:
I'VE are in the presence of
something far greater than party
antagonism or jealouses which
arise from petty motives. The
President of the United States
has crossed the seas and the pow.
er of his nation is with him. To
ward him the peoples of Europe
have turned their eyes still wet
with tears Of grief and anguish
They now expect something more
than ordinary diplomatic act or
treaty such as have tried to settle
past disputes. He who did SO
ending of the unprecedented war
is looked upon as the true peace
maker--a peace of a new and mo.
dern type-not the mere drawing
up of a passing agreement be-
tween Governments with new
haggling ahead containing germs
of future wars. 1t must be a peace
which can insure the quiet deve-
lopment of liberties hitherto inse-
cure upon the Continent of Eu-
rope.
THE men of all classes-rich
and the poor-all who fought to-
gether against German aggression
which was a menace to the liberty
ideals of President Wilson will
offer the strongest guarantee
against a renewal of the crime so
disastrous to humanity. All cry
out to him: You are invested with
the power of a Nation born in free
dom You have sworn to uphold
the immortal constitution of liber-
ty. We expect you to counsel us
how, in the words of that great

cure tranquility, to promote gen
cral welfare, to secure the bless

FISH PRODUCE MANY EGGS.
Scientific Count Shows Perch fo.2
Inches Long Contained 3o,4eo-
More In Small Than Large.

Information concerning the number
OF eggs produced by various species of
fish has been limited mainly to rather
rough estimates.
According to the Allgemeine Fisch-
erei-Zeitung, some careful counts were
made last year at the Bavarian trout
hatchery. The first investigations were
In connection with common trout and
rainbow trout; So specimens of the
former and "a of the latter were
stripped, and the ova counted. The
older and heavier fish were found to
have the most eggs (ranging up to
about 3,O00), but the younger fish
yielded a decidedly larger nmnDer of
eggs in proportion to the weight Of
the fish.
The experiments were repeated with
perch (Perca fiuviatilis), In this case
the females just about to spawn being
killed, and the ovaries being removed
and dissected. The number of eggs in
perch ranged from 3,71O for a fish four
inches long up to 30,4S0 for one 102
inches long; but in this species, also,
the number of eggs per unit weight
Of fish Is much larger In small than

cADDY WISE TO HIS JOB
Preferred to Serve New Golf Player
Because She Never Knocked Ball
Out of Sight.

Henry was a nice red-haired little
boy and the best caddy at the club,
so he was in great demand. Mrs. S.
had just taken up golf that summer.
The first time she played she happened
TO have Henry. He was so good that
the next morning when she went out
she asked for him again. AS they were
coming in on the ninth hole Henry
looked at her wistfully and asked her
If she were going to play the next
morning. If she were he suggested
that he wait for her.
So 1t got to be habit for Mrs. s.
to play every morning and for Henry
to wait and caddy for her. One day
Mrs. s. said:
"You know, Henry, don't think it's
fair to you or to the other golf players
for you to caddy for me every time, be-
cause you are the best caddy up here.
everybody says, and Pm about the
worst player. Suppose we switch to-
morrow and you go with good play
er. Wouldn't you like to do that?"
And Henry shook his fiery little
head. "Why. all the other caddies just
envy me caddyin" for you, cuz when
you hit the ball 1t never goes out of
sight"

MISSING VEST HUNG IN TREE
Farmers Rslment, Containing Money,
Disappeared From 6ush-crows
Blamed ss Guilty cuiprits.

Spooky things happen and some
times puzzle people. Occasionally they
can be accounted for, as In this case,
notes Copper's Magazine. One morn
ing early In August Sayles Turner, an
Eastern farmer, went to work in his
hay field. As the morning was warm,
Turner removed his vest and hung it
on a small bush. When he quit work
late In the afternoon he went for his
vest, but 1t was gone. In the pocket
Of the vest was $50 In bills. Turner
decided II had been stolen.
A few days ago Turner and his hired
man went to the woods, five miles
from his house, to cut wood. The first
rec cut was large hemlock. On a
limb near the top of the tree they
saw an object fluttering in the breeze.
The tree was felled and the men went
to the object. 1t was Turner'S lost
vest. Nineteen of the twenty dollars
were in the vest pockets. The vest
was badly torn, which may account
for the missing dollar. Turner be-
lieves that crows carried the vest from
the hay field and deposited 1t In the
top Of the tree.

While Gerard was our ambassador
In Berlin, the Kaiser said to him one
day that he would stand no nonsense
from America after the war.
Do you know what that means? II
means that the Germans intend to
subjugate this country IL they come
out of this war victorious.
The German Imperial government
has preached the superiority of Ger
many to all the rest of the world un-
til the German nation is drunk with
megalomania. One of their great
writer's expressed the prevailing, Of
fetal view in 1903, when he wrote:
THE Teutonic race is called upon
to circle the earth with its rule, to ex-
ploit the treasures of nature and of
human power and to make the pas
sive races servient elements in its
cultural development Who
ever has the characteristics OF the
Teutonic race is superior. All the
dark peoples are mentally inferior, be-
cause they belong to the passive
races. The cultural value of a ration
is measured by the quantity of Teu-
tonism 1t contains"
Are you one of the darker races?
Are you willing to be rated as one
Of the "servient elements" In Ger
many's cultural development?
You began to be one of the "servi-
ent elements" when peaceful people
were slaughtered as they carried your
produce to market. Was 1t because
you belonged to passive race?"
This war is for the purpose of say
ing to that insane claim, with the
roar of a hundred thousand cannon
MOI"
Never since the Turks threatened
to overwhelm Europe was the world
in such danger as now. Germany
must be defeated this year. Unless
We win. our place in the world is
lost, and our history as one of the
"servient elements" begins. We must
withhold nothing from the support OF
the war We must give our sons. We
must bring forth food in abundance.
We must give into the treasury of the
United States every cent we can
spare.
This summer the support of the war
is up to the fa mers; and Uncle Sam
has never called upon the farmers in
vain!

THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
BY Herbert Quick
Member Federal Farm Loan Board

The farms OF this country could
carry the war to a victorious con-
clusion even IL all the rest OF the ma
tions should quit. The rest will not
quit; but we could win 1t without
them 1t we had to do n. The farmers
OF the United States can whip Ger
many. We can whip them with guns.
We can whip them with our products.
We can whip them with our money.
Every farmer in the United States
must remember that the war has a
first mortgage on every cent he has.
The last spare cent In the pockets OF
every farmer in America should be
devoted to the war.
The Kaiser began foreclosing his
mortgage on our farms when he de
clared ruthless submarine warfare
The war is our answer to his bill OF
foreclosure.
Our contribution is, first, our sons
and brothers for the trenches; Sec
ond, the last pound of food products
which we can grow by mobilizing our
scanty labor supply. utilizing the men,
women and children and the towns
people about us; and third, money
for Liberty Bonds.
This is the crucial year of the war
Our soldiers are at the front, hun
dreds OF thousands of them In the
trenches. and a million more ready to
go. The whole burden of carrying on
our own part In the war, and of aid
ing our sister nations in arms, rests
on the United States Treasury.
II the treasury fails or falters or
finds itself unable to respond to every
call upon 1t, the war Is lost. Do you
realize that?
Your son, and all the nations sons
are relying on the United States
Treasury to furnish things with which
they may fight.
Their lives are lost IL the treasury
fails. Our country is lost II the treas
ury fails.
Germany wins II the treasury fails
Therefore every cent you can rake
and scrape together belongs to the
treasury. that our soldiers may come
back 10 us alive and victorious. This
Is literally true. We can whip the
Germans with our money; but not
with the money in our pockets or
bank accounts. II must go into the
United States Treasury in subscrip-
tions to Liberty Bonds.
