an Explanation

Tor the past week | have been both

pie wanting to know why | burned the
German books in our high school. And
it is amusing the difference Of opinion
entertained Some think my action
due to a dislike for the kaiser, others
because | read the translation from
those books in The News: "The kali
ser is a good man. l Will give the kai-
ser my hand" Now, to set the public
mind at rest and relieve myself from
further questioning | am going to
make an open confession: | never
saw the kaiser and if | never do in all
probability l will pass from earth just
as peacefully. And if the innocent
babes and dotirg mothers whose
bones are bleaching III the rOtting hull
of the LuSitania want to reach up
through the murky waters Of the At
Iantic and twine their feshless arms
around the kaiser's neck, that's their
business. not mine. And if the moth
ers and sisters of the brave boys
victims Of the treacher0us submarine
whose bodies were pounded into
unacceptable masses on the rocks
along the wild coast of Scotland, want
to take the kaiser's hand, III not
hinder them. But l am one Of Uncle

Holland is bordered on the south by

Since the use of the horse corn
planter came into use, corn has much
oftener failed to mature than before.
One prominent reason for this is the
horse planter put the corn in too deep.
When we used to plant with the hoe,
corn was seldom covered over one and
a half inches with soil, and it came
up quickly, for the soil is much warm
er near the surface than three or four
inches below. Besides, the soil was
not packed above it. Now corn
should not be covered over two inches
to insure rapid growth in the early
part of the season. In the old days,
when the land was new, of course corn
grew more rapidly than now, but it
was not all because of new soil. Often
on the Fourth of July, in those days,
corn would be four feet high. Nova
days it is seldom more than six or
eight inches high. We used to hoe
corn in the old days. Now the weeds
are allowed to grow with the corn,
thus robbing it of much Of its stronger
growth. The fact is, work on the farm
is insufficient as the years go by, and
the field is becoming too large for the
workmen therein. The fact seems to
be, if man has an extra dollar he
does not like farming. 1T seems he
would rather go to the city and shut
himself up in mass of buildings that
shut out the glowing landscape and
the star-Iit heaven, and go to theatre,
sit in darkness while they behold
costly made-up picture show, and go
home wondering whether they had
really been entertained or not. It
would seem about all man wants, is to
be entertained
The rulers of the nations know that
only the great kings and generals go
down in history as worthy Of record,
and so an ambitious ruler, believing
he and God in company can rule the
world by simply arming the common
man to fight and win THEIR laurels.

Likes the News

An editor often revOlves in his
mind how he may make his paper
more attractive, how it may be made
to please more readers, how it may
be made more interesting. There
should be a gee whiz in every issue,
but often that is impossible. A gee
whiz every day might mean that gee
whizes would become commonplace.
An editor appreciates suggestions and
sometimes asks in order to obtain the

writing to N. g. Abbott, Eureka

how The News might be improved,

A Plea for the Dogs

Some people seem to delight in
making dumb animals suffer or at
least it seems this way to me. Friday
some one poisoned my little dog,
which has been a constant playfriend
and companion of mine for two years
and I feel his loss greatly. If the
hardhearted person or persons who
are guilty could see how poisoned
dog must suffer before he can die, |
am sure he would think twice before
he does this cruel act. I am sure [
should never wish even the guilty
person to undergo the agony and
suffering which my little dog under
went before he died. Truly, / don't
see how such a person could even
sleep nights after committing such a
crime. | am sure | couldn't.

The Killdeer
BARABOO

Some years ago, while living On my
farm south of the river, in Greenfield,
a pair of killdeer birds built a nest
near the road which I passed every
day on my way to work. The killdeer
bird belongs to the plover family-a
small bird, dark greyish brown above
and white beneath, white spot under
the eyes, and black ring around the
neck. They have quite long and very
slim legs, and short neck, are waders
and like marshy ground. Every time
passed along near their nest, the
male bird would fly around me crying
loudly his one note, killdeer, killdeer,
rapidly repeated. One morning While
at work down by the river, I heard a
gun and looking saw the smoke near
the killdeers' nest. When I went
home, as / passed he flew out little
way and in mournful cadence repeat
ed his kil1deer note, and quickly re-
tired. The next day as he came out
/ noticed one of his legs hung limp
and useless. The gun I heard had shot
one Of his legs just above the middle
joint, nearly off, and so that mournful
cry came to me every time l passed.
Otter a few days, one morning he few
out and around me, and l noticed the
wounded portion Of the leg had
dropped off and his cry of killdeer
had lost it's mournful tone. He alight-
ed little way off on the ground and
hoped along gleefully as if to show
me how splendid it all was.
Then a few days after this, one
morning as l passed., they all, the two
Old birds and four young ones, rose in
the air and circling around, flew in
great joy over my head and away to-
wards the river. | never saw them
again. BENZ. SIMONDS.

Reads the Koenig Letter

Looking over The News each week
and noting what old Wisconsin is do
inc, in lots of ways makes me feel
proud Of my home state; but wish to
say that it makes my blood boil when
I read a letter like Mr.. Koenig has
printed in the issue of April 25. 1t is
a shame that we have men Of this
stamp living from the fruits of the
good old U. S. A, and under the pro-
lection of the Stars and Stripes.
It gives me considerable pleasure,
though, to read your answer to his
letter, IS your reply should give Mr..
N0enig food for thought. | am sur
prised that a man would dare come
out as openly as Mr.. Koenig has and
express himself to the public. | read
lily believe that if a man in this part
Of North Dakota would express any
where near as much prO-German as
Mr.. Koenig has he would be wearing
a coat Of tar and feathers before the
day was over.
I would like to suggest to Mr.. KOe-
Mig that if he is unable to get rid Of
the German blood, that the best place
for him is at the German front, where
the boys in khaki would supply a
means of letting out some of this Ger
man blood.
Anyway am glad that Mr. Koenig
has learned that The News is not
measured by dollars and cents, and
can get along very nicely without his
dollar and fifty cents.
Yours very truly,

Irish Resistance to Consumption

It is with much regret that | read of
the action of the home rule element in
Ireland, in resisting the needful meas
ures of the British government in this,
it's hour Of extreme peril. There is
enough real Irish blood in my system,
that | can, and do, sympathize with
all legitimate efforts of that unhappy
country-Ireland- attain self-gov-
eminent. But, thank God, I have
enough of the true American blood
and spirit of justice and right, that l
cannot and do not sanction the ques-
tionable methods being adopted at
present by the advocates Of that move
nent.
Any person who will sneak up in a
cowardly and covert manner, and de-
liver a blow to a man who is battling
with some savage wild beast, is not to
be trusted to govern himself or a ma
ton, to the best interests of the world
in general. Great Britain and Ameri-
ca are today standing shoulder to
shoulder, battling against the great
est beast the world has ever known.
Consequently a blow directed at Great
Britain is also blow at America, and
will cause American blood to flow in
equal measure.
[ sincerely believe the appeal Of the
Sin Feiner element to President VIII
son was made with an intention of in
PRODUCING an opening wedge between
Great Britain and America. In other
words the Sin eFiner would employ
America as a cats paw to draw his
chestnuts from the fire by attacking
Great Britain, essentially in behalf of
Germany.
| also believe any resident Of Amer
lea who today is openly or otherwise
words the Sin Feiner would employ
it's resistance to British authority, is
as much a pro-German as he who up
holds the kaiser. But in addition to
this, he is sowing the seeds of reli-
gious discord far more harmful to the
peace Of the world than all secular
wars ever fought.
| regret the spirit being shown TO-
day by the misguided element in Ire
land, that long-suffering country. For
that element is fast extinguishing the
last CLEAN of surety for realization
of it's long cherished hope for home
rule for that country. Because it must
be evident to all fair-minded men of
whatever nation, that this element is
incapable of governing itself or
state, in a manner that would insure
the peace and quiet to the world for

western and eastern countries VIII
take place In 1912 the Balkans will
be drenched with blood and corpses
of hundreds of thousands Of slain men
will cover the battleflelds. From this
bloody struggle the most fearful war
of all history will develop. The en-
tire civilized world and even savage
tribes will be drawn into the horrible
conf1agration, which will turn all Eu-
rope into a bowling wilderness in three
years. The wall will continue until
all the belligerents are exhausted and
the armies in the field rebel against
the awful slaughter 1t will END with
a general uprising of the masses. The
revolution will start in one of the larg-
est countries engaged in the war and
bring horrors which may make those
of the French revolution appear like
child's play. Within few months the
revolution will spread over all of Eu-
rope and when it ends the old world
will be depopulated and so impover-
ished that it may never be able to re-
cover"
The first two of these prophecies
have come true and the third one is
partly fulfilled In 1904 the war be-
tween Russia and Japan started and
1912 brought the first Balkan war,
which was followed at once by the
second. From these struggles the
present horrible war developed. AL
most the entire world is fighting and
a revolution has overturned the gov
eminent of Russia. Will the general
revolution, the horrid climax predict
ed by the writer, also come?
