Of any Prussian community no radical
anti-Prussian dares own farm. The
Prussian knows the force and power OF
public sentiment. The Germans In
Germany have understood this and In
their American propaganda they have
worked altogether on ma3oing the senti-
ment on their side.
Il II necessary to make disloyalty
odtous: mako It unpopular; make It
impossible in church or school, in pro-
fsesion or business. In public the
quiet man has quite as much influence
as the noisy man. Ut Ia necessary to
have the influence OF the quiet man II
public opinion IL to be effective.
There are counties in this state
where patriotic public opinion has been
held IN duress. where patriots only talk
their real sentiments when they are
away from home. These communities
should be reformed and this can be
accomplished by the patriots In such
communities
Public sentiment u weakened by any
apologies for foreign settlements or
groups: for foreign churches and for
eign schools. Every man guilty of
weakening patriotic sentiment in these

dIsloyal.

sentiment OF the state.

Billy Bunny and His Friends

and so did Prof. Crow--I beg your par

And just then Benny Beaver swan up
on the bank and said how do you do to
Billy Bunny. And then that kind little
rabbit took carrot Out Of his knop-
sack. And would you believe It? That
little beaver pared It as nicely as you
please. But not with knife. He didn't
need one. He Just pressed the carrot
against his teeth and turned It around
and around an on came the skin a.
neatly as II he had use a potato parer
or his grandfather's safety raoxr!
An then up flow a little black tailed
water wren, who ate up. the peelings in
very friendly way. and Danny Beaver
seemed quite pleased 10 think she wasn't
the least bit afraid Of him.

Bunny, 30 off he hoped thru the

cd the Friendly Brown Bears cave. And
there sat that old bear by his front door
smoking pipe. Hello, there, little
rabbit" he said In deep voice. but that
didn't frighten Billy Bunny. Oh my no,
For he knew the Brown Bear was a
nice, kind bear.

one day as Billy Bunny was hopping
down the Friendly Forest Trail he came
to tho pond where all the little beavers
had their home. And when the little
rabbit stopped to look and listen. for
rabbits are very timid. you know, and
are smelling the breeze most OF the
time to see whether an enemy Ia COM
ing their way, he saw little lizard
crawling up a stone on the edge OF the
pond.
Hello. Mr.. Lizard," said the little rab-
bit what arc you doing.T'
I'm not Mr.. Lizard" replied the
beautifully colored little reptile, my
name is Salamander."
Goodness gracious mel" thought the
little rabbit. that's dreadful long
name" And then Salamander went on
to say. You had better ask Professor
Crow to read you something about us
from his little Black Book And would
you believe 1t, just them, all OF sudden.
UP flew the wise old crow and took out
his book. And when he turned to page
one. two. three. ne read:
'The Salamander has four legs
And In tho water lays It's eggs.
They're just like tapoles when they're
born.
And swim about from early morn
And like fish they have no lung.
But little gils when they are young.
But by and by their legs grow stout

lowA's WINTER WHEAT QUOTA.

The campaign on in Iowa looking ia
q large sowing OF winter wheat should
be given the most serious consideration
by every Iowa fgarmer. There is a
reason for It. First the evident need

son which is that the Canadian CROP Is
= failure over a considerable part Of the
wheat growing districts OF the
dominion.
The most important angle where-
from the farmer should View tho
movement Is the need Of tho nation
and It's allies. to look at It as a war
measure. He ned not look farther tor
An incentive that win make Him APP
prcechable and interested on the
matter for the main object Of an pa

other angles. Excellent observers pre-
dlak nsxt year an excellent season for
winter wheat. They say that good
winter wheat season Is dus under tho

profitable at the nxed price. Then WIN

better wheat.
The reason the campaign is on now
for winter wheat 10 evident. It is fall

tho winter wheat sower takes Il the
loss Of his seed. He doesn't lose the
use Of his land II 1t should freeze out.

good bet II he loses the seed. For II
Germany were to win the war he'd lose
the fand and himself.
& OF course many OF those who win
sow wheat this fan will be put 70 some

There should be no hangings except
by the law.
Public sentiment governs every vii
lsge. No man can Hive In even q village
In opposition to the voice Of the major
ity. Sometimes this voice is suspended
and inactive. At other times It Is para
mount.
In the old days when the saloons
bossed everything they had no tolera-
ton for congresationnlists In the viii
lage. All had to become saloon SYM
pathizers or move out.
Tho campaign Of the saloon was ono
OF intolerance. The saloon made 1t inn
possible for the anti saloon politician
TO live or to be elected.
During the civil war In such states
as Iowa, Indigna. Illinois. and Ohio, the
patriots who were oftimes in the
minority in the communities where
they lived. were so intense and so de-
termined that treason had no show. AS
matter of fact there wore no lynch
inss. Nobody was killed. But disloyal
men knew that every loyal man was
sleeping with shotgun at TIE head Of
his bed. Lynching was unnecessary.
But 1t was all the time imminent and
traitors kept their mouths shut.
Most OF the treason that Is being
talked and acted in this state Is with
In the law. That is why the traitors
are 80 anxious that public sentin1en,
shall have nothing to do with their
performances. They are prepared tc
fight the law. But they are afraid OF
public sentiment. Il
The best guarantee against lynch
Ing in Iowa Is to make public senti-
ment 80 intensely loyal, bitterly loyal
that traitors, both male and female
shall be afraid to open their heads. II
has been difficult to get hold. by the

talk treason. but II public sentiment

them to their holes. In Prussian com
