THE REASON

" ALKING with Nonpartisan
league candidate the other day
= he complained that the stigma
of disloyalty should be attached to
him. We assured him that such was
not a personal matter, so far as he
was concerned, but that the cloud
that apparently overshadowed him
was due to the fact that a few of
the officials and organizers had been
convicted, as we are supposed to ac-
cept, by unbiased juries and that up
to the present time the league has
taken no steps to GUST them from the
organization. The absence of such a
fact, and the fact that the con-
victed parties, while waiting under
bond for decision Of heir appeals,
makes it appear that the league is
shielding and protecting the con-
victed parties. For this reason the
innocent members are forced to bear
the odium that goes with it. We
further put the proposition up to
him: suppose A. c. Townley, presi-
dent of the national Nonpartisan
league, who is now under indictment,
should be coveted, where would the
leagues candidates be at then III.

Mrs. w. H. Gold, who has start
ed many good things in Redwood
Falls, has suggested that the city
and vicinity should have dandelion
day, with everybody uniting to eradi-
cate the pest which is spelling the
beauty of the lawns of the city. We
think it is splendid idea and wish
we had had gray-matter enough to
suggest it ourself. All that is nee
essary is for Mayor Smith to set a
day, every man, women and child to
arm himself, herself and itself with
knife, long and sharp and plenty
of energy-and then everybody out
in the yards, digging like thunder.
Do we hear a second to Mrs. Colds
motion?

Our idea of a pleasant half hour
well spent is to stand around in the
postoffice lobby and hear two Irish
men discuss what they would do to
the kaiser if they were young enough
to go across. Their remarks are sure
to be characteristic, if not kindly, and
the Irish brogue is very apt for just
this sort of conversation.
The action of the Germans, who
last week ruthlessly shelled a hospi-
tai encampment where the Red
Cross flag hung free, shows that the
Hun has no respect for the God of
Mercy who is the inspiration of ev-
cry stroke of work done under Red
Cross banner. They MUST and
SHALL be taught that respect, but
when one thinks of the awfulness OF
this last atrocity even the strongest
heart sickens. We have seldom felt
so strongly that the complete EXTERN.

If Malmberg is going to make his
campaign against Julius A. Schmahl
on the platform Of efficiency" as it
is reported from some quarters that
he will, he is going to find that said
platform lacks a firm foundation and
will wobble woefully, and it may
take Malmberg down with it when it
falls with an awful crash. Even the
men who for political reasons are OPP
posing Mr.. Schmahl's reelection, are
admitting that he is efficiency plus
and he has numberless friends to tell
just how much "plus" he really is
Malmberg's efficiency club will prove
a boomerang and he will learn the
lesson that "spite" candidates always

Every politicin elected with the
non-partisan endorsement is expected
in fact he obligates himself-to
represent, not the people of the state
or county, but the league. In other
words he is bound by every law and
tradition Of the league to follow the
dictates of Townley and those of his
kind who have proved and are prov
ing themselves opponents to the
best work of the state and national
governments in the present struggle
with Germany, and in questions Of
internal dissension. Voters Of the
state should think carefully and de-
eide whether or not they want these
men to decide the future policy Of
the country in which they and their
children are to live.

"Lindbergh, Van Lear, Thompson,
Lundeen" shrieks the sign on the
front of the Van Lear headquarters
in Minneapolis. Can any voter in
Minnesota point to any one thing
which speaks emphatically and con-
clusively of the loyal Americanism of
any one of these men? Is the state
proud of these men-proud enough
of them to want them to take the
places of honor in state and city
government?

DO NOT GET EXCITED!
(By Gunnar Bjornson)

HEOPLE should not take toe
much stock in charges of graft
4 and purported scandals, that
are rife at this time with regard to
matters connected with governmental
activities.
Charges of this character are nat
ural at times like these. Also hui
man nature would not be human ma
ture if some of these things were not
true.
There will always be those who
cannot curb their greed no matter
what is at stake.
Criminal profiteering and unlaw-
full advantage will be the meat upon
which some men will feed at all
times.
We must not be surprised to find
that these same persons are busy
now-even in the face of their coun-
try's danger.
So we may take for granted that
things will happen that are not as
they should be.
Also we must not overlook the fact
that enemies of the administration
will pass up no opportunity to mag
nifty things of this character. And let
it not be forgotten that the German
propagandists will do all in their
power to spread false rumors OF
graft and corruption.
The enemies of this country will
lose no opportunity to make the most
of anything that can give rise to dis
sension and dissatisfaction.
That is part of their program.
If YOU want to help the Huns you
cannot do so in a more effective way
than by spreading scandal about the
administration.
There is no need of taking alarm.
President Wilson has proven HIM
self man who will tolerate no cor
ruption in the government. or with

tiers of that kind in most satisfac.
DRY manner.
We have no reason to have any
thing but explicit confidence in ou1
president and we should be willing tx

as do graft deals.
This is the time when the natiol
must hold up the hands of the presl
dent, it must have confidence in hin
and it must not become unduly ex
cited over things that are quite be
yond prevention. The situation woul
be different if the president did no
show in every way his desire to prs
vent and punish wrong doing.
Wherever the interests OF thi
country are at stake, be it at HON
or abroad, President Wilson may b
depended upon to the last particle
energy.
So do not get excited over rumo1
of corruption. They may be true, a
though the chances are that they al
not. But rest assured, our govern

We read the other day that when
the allied nations march into Berlin
the Stars and Stripes shall lead all
the rest. The Stars and Stripes
should be quite content if, by that
time, it shall have earned the right
to even march abreast of the flags of
France and England. If the march
were made today the American flag
would have to take its place in the
rear, if the place were earned by
sacrifice and achievement. We have
shown huge willingness to do great
things but England and France and
the others actually did them for
long, weary suffering months while
we, as a nation, deliberated. We
shall win our place in the sun, not by
winning the war, but by helping win
it, and we must, in all justice, refuse
to rank ourselves as standard bear
ers until we have purchased the
standards.

is fine waY to sci a hen.

This is the way to set a hen.
AS the time approaches for the hen
to become broody or sit, and care is
taken to look into the nest, it will be
seen that there are a few soft, downy
feathers being left there by the hen ;
also the hen stays longer on the nest
when laying at this time and on being
approached will quite likely remain
on the nest making a clucking noise,
rufhing her feathers and pecking at
the intruder. When it is noted that a
hen sits on q nest for two or three
nights in succession and that most Of
the feathers are gone from her breast,
which should feel hot to the hand, she
is ready to be transferred to a nest
which has been prepared for her be-
forehand. The normal temperature of
the hen is from 100 degrees to LOT de-
grees F., which varies slightly during
incubation.
Dust tie hen thoroughly with in
sect powder, holding her by the feet
with the head down and working the
powder we'll into the feathers. The
powder should also be Sprinkled in
the nest. The nest should be in some
quiet, out-of-the-way place where the
hen will not be disturbed. Move her
from the regular laying nest at night
and handle her carefully in doing So.
Put a-cf1na egg in the nest where she
is to sit, and place a board owe the
opening so that she cannot get off.
Toward evening of the second day go
in quietly where she is sitting, leave
some feed and water, remove the
board from the front or top of the
nest and let the hen come off when.
she is ready. Should she return to the.
nest after feeding, remove the china
G or eggs and put under those that
are to be incubated. If the nests are
slightly darkened the hens are less
likely to become restless. At Matching
time they should be confined and not
be disturbed until the Matching is com
pleted unless they become restless,
when it may be best to remove the
chicks that are Matched first. In cool
weather it is best not to put more
than ten eggs under the hen. Later in
the spring n a put II to Is, ac-

Eggs for Matching can be shipped ex-
tensively over long distances successful

pears to affect the hatch. Setting eggs
are packed for shipment-in several diff
ferent ways. One Of the best methods
is to use a common market basket well
lined on the bottom and sides with ex-
celsior. After wrapping the eggs in a
thin layer of paper and enough excel
sfOr to make a ball OF about three
inches in diameter, pack them tightly
"a the basket then put on a covering
Of excelsior, and over all sew a piece of
strong cotton cloth, or the cloth can be
pushed up under the outside rim of the
basket with a case knife. The latter
method of fastening the cloth is much
quicker than the former and just as
effective. Eggs are also shipped safely
almost aEy distance by packing them
In a stif pastebOnrd carton or box
made for this purpose, the spaon
