understand that man can not live for him
self alone, the course Of human life has
nevertheless made it too plain to be gain
said. There is a sympathetic bond exist
ing between men, not always prceptible,
but existing just the same; the subtle in
fluences are constantly passing from one
to the other affecting in more or less de-
gree all the activities of life.
The Stacker therefore, the man who
seeks his own comfort and safety in av-
oiding the calls Of the country that has
all his life thrown about him the mantle
Of its protection, is due right soon to
learn something that will profit him
much. If he expects to live free and Sc
cure and protected in the rights Of citi-
zen, the fiat has gone forth that he must
prepare to give something in return

SAVING BIRD LIFE

The general impression among STU
dents Of bird life is that there are not as
MANY birds as there used to be. Consider
ING the way we allow pot hunters to shoot
valuable birds for pie by the bushel, this
is not surprising.
s. When a citizen Of Logan goes out with
gun and shoots bird, he kills his own
friend, an enemy Of the insect pests that
destroy our crops. The damage wrought
by these pests is .incalculable. a crop IS
/, frequently reduced one half by the work
of pests. If we could but get an abundant
bird life, so that there should be more
birds than formerly, we would do more
to increase our food production than can
be accomplished by our agricultural
Uschools in any one year.
Bird saving is an essential part Of our
food raising program. The ignorant man
who goes out with his gun for mess Of
our feathered friends is an enemy ct the
community. Some one should report him.
The laws against this offense are not
drastic enough, and there is not enough
effort to enforce the laws we have.
Bird saving should be taught in tie
schools. The children should be instruct
ed on how the birds save crops. If that
Il thoroughly drilled into thenE they will
!, not feel quite the enthusiasm for getting
out with Z gun later to do this mischev-
ious work.
Posters In foreign languages shonld be
put up In conspicuous places warning
against bird shooting, 30 that non-Eng-
lish speaking aliens shall be wn'sed
against this practices. One man with q
gun can do q greeE deal Of injury to the
crops Of his neighb0rhood in. this way, To
him it Is perfectly harmless practice.
He does not realize how he and q hundred
thousand like him are helping to deplete
the food supply, and raise the cost Of the
staples they have to buy.

A TOWNS EXPONENT

You can Judge pretty well Of the char
acter of town by the newspapers that it
produces. Newspaper men who look ov-
err lot Of exchanges can often see a story
Of advance and growth in the faces Of
their newspaper visistors. It will be seen
that one sheet, which so long showed the
evidence of struggle, begins to use better
paper, to clean up its workmanship, to
print more interesting stuff, and bios
som out with store news.
There can be no question what is hap
pening in hat town. It has struck new
wave Of prosperity. Conversely, how
many stories Of decline are revealed to
the editor as he rips the wrappers from
one or another Of his acquaintance. This
familiar sheet that once was 80 worthy
an example Of journalism, is clearly on
the down grade. Poor paper and print,
little news, no business. How absolutely
truthful Is the story that tells Of business
conditions In. its home town.
The Republican has always taken pride
in,the thought that it represented Logan
in hundreds Of communities far and near.
It has often spent money for services
which many newspapers would have got
ten along without, feeling that for the
sake Of the home town it must make itself
attractive and progressing wherever it
went.
To the business community that has
backed us in our enterprise, it is our wish
to offer our most hearty thanks. Also to
say that the more business it can bring
us, the better The Republican can repre-
sent our town, the more it. can give the
impression that it is published in live
and 60 ahead community.

SERIOUS DAYS FOR DRoNEs

Human nature is pretty much the same
from one generation to another; and the

Of Mathew is applicable today as it was

GIRLS HELP FRANCE
Red Cross Worker Tells Thrilling
Tale of Experience.
Pays Glowing Tribute to the Wonder

Soldiers.

Chicago.-Miss Gladys M. Spencer

her experiences as Red Cross worker
in France, and girls everywhere will
be thrilled over her talk.
"Once while was very close to the
front lines with my ambulance" she
said, Il was put In charge of several
other machines and ordered to return
the wounded to the base hospitals. 1t
was then that had my first real good
opportunity to observe the wonderful
spirit Of the French soldiers. They
remain quiet no matter how much
pain they are in, and there is very lit
tie grumbling. Always you can find a
smile. And they are going to win the
war!"
1t Is difficult to realize that tender
ly reared American girl handled her
self with SO much poise in shell-shat-
tered area. The group Of girls she was
addressing were preparing themselves
to face the same dangers. and thou
sands of other American girls and
women as nurses are more than doing

freight house to remove some large
boxes. Only old men were left to lift
the boxes, or men convalescing from
wounds. The boxes were too heavy
for them, so three other women and
myself pitched in and loaded the cars.
The men smiled sadly and wistfully.

pie is sunny. They are delighted over
America, and they firmly believe that

Shanghai.-The statement is made in
the first issue of the Shanghai Ga
zette that the Chinese government has
agreed to new demands made by Japan,
which are of such nature that the
country has virtually been turned over
to the Japanese. The Gazette asserts
it has been informed by high official
at Picking that the Japanese demands
are far more serious than those in
group V of the famous twenty-one de-
mands made by Japanese in 1915.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
utmost secrecy is being observed" says
the Gazette, ut may be stated safely
that the following is not far from the
true terms of the agreement:
Chinese expeditionary forces sent to-
Siberia shall be commanded by jap
anese.
Chinese police shall be organized by
Japanese officers.
Japan shall control all of China's
arsenals and dOckyards.
Japan shall have the privilege of
working mines in all parts of China.
Special privileges shall be granted
to Japan in outer and inner Mongolia
and the whole of Manchuria."

The Pregnant Truth.
There is a great deal of truth which
we must not let 60 by us. You are apt
to push out your chest, know, and
say: Impossible" Let me remind
you Of the fact that the last three
years have been crowded with achieve
ments of the impossible! Here is that
pregnant truth: If we let Germany
win over there, Germany will carry
the conquest over here. 1t is a part
of her colossal plan. Else why this
elaborate spy system in America? Man,
it is more complete organization than
our own government! If they come,
of course, we are willing to die for our
country, which is noble and brave, but
what of our womenfolk? There lies
the reddest He'll of the war, brother.
Remember the unspeakable violation
Of Belgium.
And remember it, we who have
not gone to France, should do our part
to plant such crops as we never be-
