Among the most primitive nations hospitality is a sacred thing. For peo- pie to break bread with one another. and then to be otherwise than friends forever after, has been recognized as an unpardonable sin.
 -f have eaten in this house., t is said all decently inclinded humans. Therefor my friend. and l must be loyal to him"
 The same code of honor exsts among nations. and 1t is regarded by all decent peoples.
 We have today to face in our coun- try remarkable situation. Think a minute. It is just like this. Suppose you invited a guest to your home, provided for his needs, even for his pleasures; gave him your best without stint; treated him with all confidence and respect, even loved him. Suppose that this guest, after accept ing all that you offered him, all that you willingly and gladly proffered him. turned on you, and was utterly false to you in every way. Suppose he sowed dissension in your family, and caused all sorts of discord in your home. Suppose he lied about you to his friends, and tYied to ruin every thing you held dear. Suppose he tried to supplant you in your household and run it his way. Hcw would you feel about this kind of guest? What would you do about him? Would your tolerate him? Would you you permit such a guest to remain long in your home after you had found him out?
 Well, OUT nation is our larger home, and We have just such a guest in it, a guest who has betrayed us in true Judas-like fashion, and he seems so far to be proud of it. What shall we do about this? Nothing, you say? It will come around all right?
 Now just listen 10 little plain talk. There is no use in mincing matters at present. The situation is too grave to be played with.

At the Bend of the Marne.

From The Kansas City Stas
 Of course you are doing your bit. You are heroically going without sugar, except one lump in your coffee in the morning, which the doctor says your constitution absolutely requires. You have bought your share of Lib erty bonds, saying openly that any old time You are not willing to risk your money with Uncle Sam the Huns can come and put a collar on you. You have given literally to the Red Cross and pinned a button on your coat, so that any snooping German spy who wants to can send your name to the kaiser. You're an American and you don't care who knows it.
 Yes, you are doing your bit. BIT is right.
 While you are doing ii this Is what was happening at the bend of the Marne:
 "The American machine gun
 ners and infantrymen fought and
 died where they stood" ~
 You read that comfortably seated on your porch. and you said to your self that you guessed it would ulti- mately dawn on the boches that there were some Americans in France after all. You were entitled to that feeling of exhultation and pride, but was that the only feeling you had when you read it? Didn't something come over you that made your chair little bit less comfortable? Didn't your petty little sacrifices, your money patriot ism and your wordy loyalty seem a little cheap to you in comparison with what other Americans were doing, there at the bend of the Marne7
 An order had come to hold the enemy at that point. Did you ever get . military order? They're rather di- rect and terse, without explanation, and no rhetoric st all They don't re- quest you to do something if perfect ly convenient. or if you can spare the time, or if you can do 1t without per- sonaI risk to yourself. They don't re- mind you that it is your duty, that you really ought to do it because it is your bit They don't assure you +fftft IL Woil ScittucAS lHlSflcEt WttH your business. Nothing like that nothing like the orders you get to please come out and help the Liberty joan, to kindly lend your motor car for an afternoon, to eat cornbread, to buy war savings stamps. Those are orders to Americans at home, attend ing mostly to their own business. To Americans at the bend of the Marne, attending solely to the Nations busi- ness. the order is: "Stand here and die"
 It doesn't leave your patriotic ef- forts in a particularly heroic light. does it You never picked up the paper and read of yourself and your neighbors that you died where you stood, or hammered rivit into a ship where you stood, or even went with out your dinner where you stood. You may have read that you delivered speech where you stood, and per haps you thought. when you delivered it, that it would help to win the war What do you think about it now? Would it have helped to throw the Germans back, there at the Bend sf

Message From Wife Says CoIonel's
 Son Is Not in Danger.

Osyster Bay, N. Y, July 20.-Ma- jor Theodore Roosevelt, IT,, has been slightly wounded and taken to a hos pital in Paris, according to a cable message received tonight by his fath- CT, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt from his daughter-in-law, Mrs Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.
 The cablegram was sent from Paris, where Mrs. Roosevelt is in a Red Cross hospital. It read:
 "Ted wounded. Not seriously. Here with me. Not in danger. No cause for anxiety"
 Major Roosevelt was recently cited for gallantry after having been gassed about three weeks ago.
 The news of Major Roosevelt hav- ing been wounded followed immedi- ately the report from Paris that Ger man aviators had dropped note be- hind the Allied lines confirming fears of the death of Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt in an aerial engagement Captain Archie Roosevelt, another of the former Presidents sons, is now recovering from severe wounds. Ker- nit Roosevelt, fourth son. who sery- ed as a captain in the British Army in Mesopotamia, was recently ap- pointed captain in the United States Army and is now reported on his way to France He was decorated by the British with the Military Cross for gallantry in action.

FARM DEMONSTRATORS LETTER

To the Farmers:
 On~ account of the continued drouth we re facing the greatest scarcity of feed for the coming winter. We are told by government figures that Polk county should produce this year two and half times as much hay as last year in order to have feed for the stock of the county, because the trains will very probably be carrying troops and troop supplies and cannot bring in the large amounts of hay and other feeds as heretofore.
 Besides that, we have more cattle and hogs this year than last, both by natural increase and by importation, so that the amount of feed per head would be less than last year, if you had normal crop
 If it rains by the first of August, the grass will be dried up and the sit nation become still worse. I wish I could paint brighter picture, but the truth is what we have to face.
 Farmers have very prudently plant ed the stubble fields to peas and soy beans, which is an excellent idea for many reasons.
 If it rains by the first of August, such nonsacherine sorghams as fet- rita, milo maize and Schrock- -Kaffir will make quite lot of feed yet before frost unless it should come unusually early.
 If it rains by the middle of August there will be time for turnips of the purple top varieties By the first of September or even later rye and crimson clover may be sown and will furnish fair fall and winter pasture Wheat and winter turf oats sown ear ly will also furnish winter pasture
 l have been asked if it will pay to cut up the small corn that has failed to tassle. 1t will be light but excel lent feed if cured properly and stored It will be easy to handle if bound in { bundles.
 l have sold in the county a carload of shorthorn cattle and two carloads of Shropshire sheep, all for breeding purposes, but hesitate to bring them in on account of feed shortage and the recent breakout of black leg in cat tie. Will wait further developments.
 Any assistance i can give any farm CT in buying or selling seed will be gladly given. s.
 Yours very truly,
 A. !. Smith.

OUTRAGED HOSPITALITY
eBy Barnetta Brown of the vigilantesl.

less we make 1t come around right. Nothing can come right thru care less thinking or thru apathy. It is supremely necessary that all face squarely the German menace that ex- ists in our national home, just as earnestly as tho the menace existed in the family home of each one of us. 4 homemaker of any spirit whatever would not long countenance a guest who outraged hospitality. We are all the makers of our national home, and we must arise with spirit and dispose of this treacherOus guest we have with us
 The German people must be made to see by all means in our power. that their ideas. ideals. thoughts, methods, acts, are utterly detested by the world in general. There is no better way to accomplish this than by using the rule nf cancellation Cross them of as a factor in the affairs of the world, as fast as possible. in ways both great and small. The world can get along without Germany much better than many can get along without the world.
 . The idea of cancellation is rapidly growing. Help it on. Cancel language, books, music, business, names, any thing and everything German. And let us go on caneelling until 1t dawns on the obsessed minds of these peo- pie, that they have brought down up- on themselves, the utter loathing of world.
 A man, thoughtful and sane minded, who has seen what they have done on the other side, says:
 T have come home with such hate in my heart that ! am almost afraid of myself. Tine Germans don't belong in this world. They have placed them selves outside the pale of civilization.
