The Zebruaae Raid.

The results at Ostend are not yet
fully known. Two old ships were sent
at the mouth of the port, but in the
fog they seemed to be little off their
course.
The naval sx7erts said that grand
offensive" against these hornets
nests at Zeeorugge and Ostend which
amateur critias have called for is not
practicable, because the coast waters
arc shallow for a considerable distance
from land. and the guns in the FORTH
cations would outrange those on the
Light draugIit ships that could be en-
rloyed. 1t should he assumed that
navy which bombarded the works at
the entrance to the Dardanelles would
not have hesitated to attack the land
defenses at Ostend and Zeebrugge II
there had been a fighting chance to
destroy those submarine bases. The
channels are mined by the Germans,
who. indeed, have not neglected to set
traps for the enemy in Belgian waters
up and down the coast.
II is obvious that the raid of Brit
ish naval forces to bottle up" the en-
envy submarines was a risky and du-
bious undertaking. But whatever the
measure OF success was. it should
be hailed as welcome new departure
to inaugurate a more aggressive naval
policy.-New YORK Times.

sack and took out ten carrot cents.
Here, Mr. Candy Man, take my money,
for my friend the Scarecrow has left
his purse at home and the little rao-

said the kind old gentleman rabbit, ana
pretty soon they were there, and after
the scarecrow had thanked Uncle

arms back and forth and frightened
the crow so that they new away to

"He won't be up" replied the old
gentleman rabbit. He can't see in the
light, you know. Well have to wait
till it's dark.
We'll, what shall we do? asked the
little rabbit, and he wiggled his little
pink nose three times to the right and
two times and a half to the left, and
then he scratched his ear. We might
stop at the Old Pine Tree and see it
Professor Crow is at home" said Uncle
Lucky. So on they started Tor the Ola
Pine Tree. and by and by they saw
Professor Crow reading out Of his
little black book.
Good day, professor" said Uncle
Lucky and ne stopped the Luckymo-
bile right under the limb where the old
crow sat. Read US something from

old professor turned to page fourteen

Lucky. I've got 4 little Of both" and

Secretary Baker coming home from
Europe is reported from Washington
to have told the military affairs COM
mite on military affairs to go slow on
army expansion. According to the
dispatch he told the committee that
''it is useless to send men TO the train

diers to France"
But why cease training men and
making soldiers Is it Secretary
Bakers conclusion that we shall never
be able to transport vast numbers Of
soldiers to France? In the same breath
that we are told that the outcome of
the war depends upon getting men to
France and that promises are made
that transportation problems have
finally been solved and that we shall
soon have ships we have the neutraliz-
ing dictum of the war secretary that
we can't send the men and that they
shall not have the ships! What then OF

While it is possible to make a pro-

signs are something at least. the prob
lem is how 10 make him experience d
change of heart. Officials can lecture.
and they can arrest. and at time con-
Wet. This will result in less pro-Ger-
man talk certainly. But it takes
more than this to make a patriotic
citizen. and patriotic citizens are what
we want Why isn't one good way to
gain this end 70 prevent the publica-
ton of foreign language papers, not
only in war times but at all times. Cit
liens who read good. American. pa

PALAT1AL IOWA CORN CRIB.

lI!aTion SilppeTJ
Perhaps one of the finest corn cribs
to be found in all Iowa is located on
the farm occupied and owned by the
Garter brothers, one mile north of
Gait.
The crib was built by the work Of
the boys alone and cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 for the material
alone Figuring in the work that was
necessary for the construction would
undoubtedly place the valuation near
$1,000.
Built entirely of hollow tile rein
forced with steel. the crib will stand
the ravages of the weather for years
to come and will prove cheap in the
end. as far as the price is concerned
The crib is forty feet square and has
corn crib on each side ten feet wide
with an alley way in the center which
the alleyway there is an elevator and
grain dump. TIL entire second floor is
used for the purpose Of storing grain
OF al kinds. The building is twenty
five feet high and has gable roof, all
OF hollow tile. In appearance II re-
sembles very much a young court
house.
The crib will not only add immense
" TO the value of the farm it is located
upon. hut !: wi! also add &c the sur
rounding country in no small measure
for where progressiveness is shown
there will be found the better class of
-'rmers and land owners TO such an
Mt that the price of land in that
ocular neighborhood will of it's
srn accord and by such improvements
advance much more rapidly than
otherwise.
1t is fine piece of work and reflects
much credit upon the Carter brothers.
