ties. nearly equal in strength, then
1t behooves the Republicans as well
as the Democrats. to aid In prevent
| ing the success of the Nonpartisan
league efforts.
Nobody objects to the farmers Or
ganizing for the purpose of looking
after their own interests. They
have as much right to do so as have
the bankers, the lumbermen, the
hardware men, laboring men, re-
tail dealers, and the life. but If we
are to have a political party devoted
solely to the interests of the farmers,
why not political party, as well, de-
voted to the interests of the ban kers,
another to the lumbermen, fourth
for the hardware men, a fifth for the
laborng men, a sixth for the retail
dealers, seventh for the wholesale
dealers, an eighth to the store clerks
a ninth to the professional men,. and
SO on Indefinitely? That is exactly
what happened in Russia prior to
the revolution with. the result known
to all of US because of the lack of a
national unity.
II there is any justification for a
farmers party there would be abun-
dant justification for an urban party
made up of the residents of the cities
and as a result, we would have our
nation divided and antagonistic
along wholly unnatural lines with mo-
body interested or to be trusted to
look after the interests of the masses
as a whole. There could be no Dem
ocracy with factional and antagonis-
tic government; neither can there be
a Democratic party built up or main
tanned in the same way. 1t follows,
therefore, that the Nonpartisian
league, maintained as it is and adj
yocating the doctrines OF protecting
only the interests of one special class
cannot be Democrats no matter what
verbal protestations they may make.
This appears to be. the reason why
the Democrats of the state have at |
last awakened to the situation and |
are rallying around Frank Martin |
and the ticket associated with him,
receiving the support Of every Demo-
cratic leader in the state Of state
wide reputation, regardless of fac
tional differences.

may be raised on your farm. Thi,
Is not an exaggerated statement, but
has been proven by many dairymer
over the state.
4. Also the monthly pay CHECK
which gives expense money while
waiting for the returns from the cash
crops. This one factor has very often
produced success from apparent fail
ure.
5. It 10 also war measure because
the dairy COW will produce more hu-
man food than any other animal
from given quantity of food.
6. 1t is also well to remember the
failures due to the absence Of div
ersified farming, and dairying is an
important part of successful DIVERSE
fed farming systems.
z. The presence of the dairy COW
on the farm is desirable because of
the better distribution of labor eff
fected, relieving the labor conges-
ton in. the busy harvesting and
planting seasons.
8. And finally let us take glance
into the future. Will it be an easy
matter to buy dairy cows we need il
hay is cheaper next year and we de-
sire to buy back our cows? Will the
the price of hay remain high indie
finitely? Will our cash crops con-
tinue to return us as good profit?
Undoubtedly the dairy situation for
the future is very bright. Let us see
what assistant secretary of agricul-
ture Carl Vrooman says relative to
this:
"The dairy herds OF the old world
are depleted to an appalling degree.
There is not a country in Europe
where people have enough dairy pro-
ducts and this process of depletion
is going on every day, and every
week, and every month, and will con-
tinue to go on as long as this horri-
BILE war lasts. When this war is
we will find the world with
a demand for dairy products two
fold, four-fold, ten-fold greater than
the supply. Europe will come to us
with outstretched hands, every coun-
try in Europe, and soy to us: 'We
must have milk; give us canned
milk; give us dry milk: give us but
ter; give lis cheese; give us dairy
cattle; give us animals to build up
our dairy herds again. And unless
America has stimulated the produc-
lion of dairy products, has. increased
our supply of diary animals far be-
yond anything in the past. we will
be utterly unable to supply the de-
nand."
l have attempted to answer the
question, but the final decision must
ZONE from you. II / can give any
assistance to enable you to improve
your dairy conditions or solve your
larry problems. / shall be very glad
% do SO.

HUN RAIDERS BOMB
MANY FRENCH TOWNS

PARIS, France.-German bomb
ing squadrons have been very active
in bombarding towns behind the
front during the past two days. There
were numerous raids on Rouen,
where six people were killed and five
wounded. The German Gothas flew
as far as Havre, where no one was
killed and no damage done. Two
consecutive raids on Vernon caused
only material damage.
Several warnings were given at
Dunkirk and Calais during the per-
Tod. At Calais some fifty heavy
bombs were dropped on Friday night.

GERMAN SUBMARINES LANDED
MEMBERS OF CREW ON COAST

Observation-Disclosures naval
officials now concede the possibility
that German submarines operating
off the Atlantic coast have been In
communication with persons on shore
and even have landed members of
their crews.
1t was learned Monday that the
navy has report that an officer of
the American steamer o. B. Jenkins
saw and recognized in a New York
saloon a submarine officer who
boarded his ship off the coast. The
American naval estimates placed
ions attention to the German and
the later disappeared.
Two of the three raiders which
have been off the coast now are de-
clared to have ceased operations, one
of them not having been heard from
since she was bombed.
American naval estimates placed
the total number of German subma-
rines destroyed by the allies at more
than 200, and the number believed
to be in commission is between 100
and 1870.
1t was also disclosed Monday that
the enemy raiders recently cut the
French transatlantic cable out Of an
American port, and that the cable
now has been restored to operation.
This is the second time cable has
been cut.
The trio of submarines which have
been operating recently on this side
we're described in official circles as Of
the cruiser type, with an operating
radius of 1900 miles, carrying two
guns approximately SO inches. One
Of the three is believed to be. equipped
for cutting cables.

FLASH LIGHTS IN UNISON
FirefIies Seem to Have ar Understand
ing as to When to Begin,
an illumination.

Various observers testify to the fact
that myriads of glow worms very oc-
casionally indulge in synchronous flash
ing with very beautiful effect. 1t is
thought by 4 that this phcnom-
enon is accidental, although in this
light some cases would seem incred-
IDLE.
John V. Purcell of Washington,
D. c., records that in the town of Co.
tabato, island of Mindanao, P. l., a few
years ago there were two trees about
the size of apple trees and perhaps a
hundred yards apart, and every eve
ming these were filled with f~ireflies
which flashed in unison, first one tree
lighting up and then the other. There
must have been several thousand in
sects in each tree, yet the synchronism
was so perfect that rarely or never
did a single FREELY flash at the wrong
time.
"To the best of my recollection the
illumination period lasted about two
or three seconds and the dark periods
perhaps twice that long. I can posi-
lively vouch for the accuracy of the
foregoing, for it seemed so strange and
produced so beautiful an effect that I
thought it one of the most remarkable
things in the Philippines, and it made
a deep impression on me-"

Useful Trees Needed.

In many countries of Europe the
highways are lined with fruit trees,
pruned each year by the government.
In this country our highways are dec
Grated with hedges, a few tame shade
trees, willows, catalpas. elms, cotton
wood, poplar, soft maple, box elder
all useless trees. We need black wal
nut, b%utternut, hickory, oak, hard ma
pie for sugar and various fruit trees.
We need spruce for airplanes and pine
trees for lumber. Thorn hedges are a
nuisance. We need hazelnuts, null
berries, cherries, currants, raspberries,
blackberries, apples, plums, crabs,
peaches, pears, grapes. Where is a
more suitable place than u highways
and streets?
A public landscape gardener would
more than earn his keep and be an
added blessing to the people each year.
This functionary could be given au-
thorlty to root out such obnoxixoug
shrubs as the barberry bush.

Twice Cited for Bravery.

To have been cited by the French
for bravery twice since his arrival in
France in January is the record of
Professor Stephen n. Bush of the
University of Iowa. In the wake Of
the first official announcement came a
lengthy cablegram with the details Of
his second citation. Courage and ten
acity in bringing in wounded over ex-
posed places" were conspicuous on the
part of Professor Bush, who is work.
ing for the Y. M. G. A. with the Mo-
roccan divisions.
The cablegram further declares that
the "French are devoted to Professor
Bush and the other Y. M. C. A. work
ers in his division and are gaining a
high opinion of Americans through con-
tact with them" Professor Bush is

TWO EX-PREMIERS IN CABINET
Situation in British Politics That Has
Never Before Occurred Is Among
the Possibilities.

Herbert H. ASquith, former premier,
is often mentioned as a possible addis
ton to the present cabinet. The Man
chester Guardian points out that if this
happens Lloyd George will have two
former prime ministers among his sub
%ordinates. There is no former instance
of this state of things in modern his
tory, and it is a long time now since an
English government contained in q
secondary place ever one former pre-
mier.
The classical case occurred about the
middle of last century, and is furnish
ed by the game of see-saw Which was
played by Lord John Russell and Lord
PalmerstOn. In tho government of
lS46-52 Lord John Russell was prime
minister and Lord Palmerston foreign
secretary, and in the government of
1S59-6o their two positions were ex-
actly reversed.
1t was Lord John Russell's excep-
tional fate to be prime minister from
the age of tifty-four till that of sixty,
to be in INC out of subordinate office,
under Lord Aberdeen and then under
Lord Palmerston, from sixty to seven
ty-three, and at that age to be prime
minister again.
If Lloyd George gets Mr.. Asquith as
we'll as MI. Balfour he will have all the
living former premiers except one, the
exception being Lord Rosebery, whose

War Brings Peace to New York.

All is peace in New York's toughest
district since the war. A year or so
ago any person who wandered through
the "Gas House, district, on First ave-
nue. from Seventeenth to Twenty-sec-
ond street, at night usually came away
minus his watch and roll and with a
battered countenance. Many were the
actual and alleged breaches of the
peace laid to the young manhood of
this section of the city. It ran the
gamut of everything from riot to MUIR
der. Today all this is changed. Since
the "Gas House" gang has donned the
khaki there is an air of refinement and
culture in the district. Men neigh
bors meet on friendly terms and
cl"thes-line fights and feuds between
the women are only memories. Gone
is the old order of things material.
Fights have given way to celebrations
in honor of the lads from the district
now fighting in France. There are
I'll of them from this section and
the other night a service flag was I'M
furled. 1t showed five gold stars.

new YORKER IS INDIGNANT
However, Not Many Public Parks Are
in as Bad Condition as the One
He Describes.

In the latest bulletin Of the Munich
pal Art society, G. w. S. is justifiably
bitter in his comment on the waste of
opportunity in the so-calied city parks
of New York. "NVhen is a city park
not a park?" he asks, and w
"When it ceases to offer either grass,
flowers, or the shade of trees; when,
for instance, it has a large granite ba-
sin or fountain without water, which
is gradually broken up and carried
away; when, at n end it harbors
a ship and at the other a bombproof
cairn for explosives; when one-third
of it is roughly fenced off for a few
years while the subway burrows its
slow course within a yard of the grass
surface, destroying for the time the
plantation and preventing for all time
the growth of shade trees over it, and
when this subway seizes more OF it's
precious space for entrances; when
the few surviving trees, uncared for
in recent years, are left to die limb
and their place is filled by no new
shade trees; and when, in consequence,
such a forlorn patch of barren ground
and concrete as this has become stands
year after year through the hot sum-
mers neglected, dusty, and shadeless;
in a word, when it's name is Union
square. The nursemaid in Punch be-
ing asked by the little boy at the sta

a place where our idea of a park and

WHAT BOYS SAY
ABOUT RED CROSS

Since the soldiers overseas have
been informed by their officers that
the American Red Cross will play San
ia Claus this Christmas for all the
boys in khaki who have no relatives
in the United States, Red Cross Head
quarters at Washington has been re-
ceiving hundreds of appeals. Incl
dentally the men at the front have
taken this time to express their ap-
probation for the work done by the
Red Cross cover There"
Following are a few excerpts taken
at random from letters inclosing
Christmas Package Coupons:
Dear Mr., Miss or Mrs. Red Cross.-I
would appreciate it tremendously if you
would send me a Xmas package. 1 have
no relatives. and a little something from
the good old U. S.. A. would be appreci-
ated beyond words. The Red Cross has
done so much for US over here, and you
don't kno just how we appreciate it
beyond everything else"
An italian thus addresses his Christ
mas appeal:
ITO Whom 1t May Concern.-I am in
service in rance and, having no people
in the United States, would like to re-
ceive a little package from the Red Cross
on Xmas. l am in No Mans Land in a
big woods, and it is raining
IT nave been informed the Red Cross
will send Xmas packages to any soldier
who sends them his Xmas package cou-
pom. I AVE received so much tobacco
and other things from the Red Cross in
my fourteen months in France l scarcely
like to write again. I am in the hospital
recovering from wounds, and the Red
Cross furnishes us with daily papers
writing material, tobacco, fruits and rec
reation."
II nave no one else to send my Xmas
coupon to. so I'M sending it to you, as
per notice on our bulletin board. If yor
send a package I would appreciate it Il
you would inclose a bill for same, for
would gladly pay it. l don't want to i'm.
pose on you. The Red Cross is the besI
friend we have."

PUTTING IVY TO GOOD USE
How the Plant Was cIeverIy Trained
to Hide the Naked UgIiness
Of a Windmill.

The highly decorative effect Of ivy
growing against the walls of castles
and other buildings was discovered
some centuries ago, but it remained
for a very modern farmer to turn the
climbing habit of the wild grape to
good account, remarks the Popular
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1918-12-05
The Skeleton of the Windmill Has a
Dress That Eve Might Have Envied.

Science Monthly. The photograph
tells the story. The windmill was
quickly turned from a bare frame
work, suggesting in it's ugliness the in
artistic but highly useful framework
of a skyscraper, to a bower Of beauty.
AS q matter Of fact, the farmer used
both the wild grape and the ivy (not
the kind that poisons), and in two
years had the framework well covered.
And, as the owner said: 1T didn't
cost much" Moreover, the vine-clad
windmill is a thing Of beauty if not a
Joy forever.
