MOTION PICTURES FOR
AGRICULTURAL CLUBS

To help increase the pork supply
the Department of Agriculture has
released to motion picture theatres,
through one of the large companies,
a film showing the work of the boys
pig clubs which the department is
organizing in all parts of the coun-
try. The film shows methods of in
structing farm boys who have joined
the agricultural clubs how to raise
better pigs and the methods used by
club members in carrying out in
structions.
The first pig club was organized
in Louisiana in 1910. Now approxi-
mately $4,000 members are enrolled
throughout the country. Clubs in
several states are planning to send
carloads of fat hogs to fairs and
stock shows, after which they are to
be marketed comparatively.
Other moving pictures being used
tc show the Importance Of increased
food production show activities in
the national forests, important
sources of timber and water supply.

DON'T KNOW AMERICANS.

German papers are gloating over
the sinking of the Tuscania, express
ing the conviction that the incident
must unfailingly dampen the spirits
of Americans"
II evidence were wanted that Ger
many is lamentably ignorant OF
American character the above is SUI
ficient. Americans are the last race
on earth to be given to crying over
split milk. Probably no nation in
history has grown to commanding in
fluence in the world over greater op-
position than has the United States.
Opposition is the bread of life to our
people, and your red-blooded Ameri-
can has a mild contempt for any oc-
cupation that contains none of the
element of danger or chance.
II proof were wanted to refute the
insinuation of the Teutons that we
would blanch at the dangers from
their submarines, it is found in the
fact that before the ink was hardly
dry on the papers in this country
giving the news of the sinking of the
Tuscania, enlistments in all branches
had jumped to records never reached
before. Thousands are flocking to
every branch of the service, many
with the avowed purpose of aveng-
ing the heroes so shamelessly butch
cred.
Germany is due for very rude
awakening as to the real American
character. She is due to discover
that our aversion to war does not
cover a craven heart, but arises rath-
er from a national sense of justice
and right. She is also due to learn
that when that sense OF justice and
right has been flagrantly abused and
insulted, there is no hesitation on
our part to resort to the weapons OF
force so dear to the German heart.
Germany, however, is merely
whistling to keep up her courage.
She sees her doom when our troops
reach Europe in force.

the American army. The American
soldier is not merely cog in fight
ing machine, he is also a sentient,
pulsing, dynamic human machine in
himself, quick to think and trained
to act upon his conclusions. Men of
this class are to be trusted with the
most dangerous and delicate mis-
sions. They are not only reliable in
the mass, but are thoroughly to be
depended upon as separate human
units. st
1t is the German contempt for all
things not German that has helped
largely in impressing the nations
with a false estimate of German
prowess. This contempt is fast be-
ing unmasked and made to stand out
in its true light-ignorance. Per-
shing is teachingsus that it is by no
means the result of superior knowl-
edge, but rather of ignorance inspired
by the belief that German knowledge
is of a superior order. Nothing but
bullets and shrapnel will shake this
arrogance, but these are being manu-
factured in this country and sent to
our boys over there, and they can be
trusted to place them where they will
do the most good.
Germany has stigmatized us as a
nation of dollar chasers. Well, we
have chased the dollar successfully,
and we will show her that we can
turn those dollars into bullets for her
undoing. Her contempt is the best
possible spur to our troops. 1t is
nerving them to show to the world
that the great German bogey is but
a man after all, and a man who can
and will be whipped and we'll
whipped before we are through with
him.

GERMAN PRISONERS
HAVE SAME TRAITS

All sorts and conditions of German
prisoners are passing daily through
the British cages at the front, as
the great prisoners of war COM
pounds, surrounded by solid double
barbedwire fencing, are called.
There you may see the stolid Bavar-
ian peasant rubbing shoulders with
the pale-faced clerk from the great
cities of the German empire, the be-
spectacled medical student elbow-to-
elbow with the surly, often villainous
looking N. c. o. of Germany's pro-
fessional army.
Prisoners Of war, no matter to
what army they may belong, possess
certain general characteristics In
common. They are nearly always
very dirty, ragged and unshaven, for
the turmoil of modern battle plays
havoc with the smartest soldier that
ever walked. They are nearly al
ways considerably detected, for there
is no shame about being downcast at
falling into the enemy's hands, writes
Patrol" in the London Answers.
They very often manifest consider
able relief at being still alive after
the stress of battle.
These symptoms are so frequently
observed in German prisoners of war
that people seeing for the first time
a big batch of captives are apt to
make entirely false deductions as to
the general state Of the German
army.
How many times have we read in

THE GERMAN BOGEY.

The report from General Per-
shing's boys on the firing line in
France is thrilling the hearts of
Americans and is such as to cause a
feeling of the most intense satisfac-
tion throughout the country. Our
boys are proving themselves fully
equal to the task before them and
have already taken the measure Of
their foe and are going after him.
They are also dissipating the hith-
erto worldwide dread of the German
bogey, and proving him to be by no
means the superman he would have
us think him. They are demonstrate
ing that German defenses can be
shattered and German troops routed
and German discipline thoroughly
disorganized.
And what, after all. is this dread
German bogey? Nothing but iron
discipline working with thoroughly
plastic material. Given unscrupulous
leaders fired with the lust of con-
quest, and a docile and tractable
army, the result must inevitably be
a dangerous machine machine
without scruple and without con-
science. But on the other hand It
is largely a machine devoid OF intelli-
gence and without initiative, save in
its leaders.
And It is in this latter quality, or
rather lack OF quality, that It will
meet It's Waterloo at the hands OF

Seeing the Desert.

Los Angeles, Cal.
Editor Tidings: The other day
Mrs. Barnhill and | drove out to the
Fremont valley to look at quarter
section of land which we were Of
fered in exchange for our Ashland
property. Level, rich soil, no hard
pan, alkali, sand hills or pot holes,
capable of producing ten tons of al
falfa per acre, which sold last sum-
mer at ST in the field and is now
worth $50; inexhaustible supply of
water at $50 feet, rising to within
so feet of the surface; only three
miles to railway station, two miles to
school. And yet we didn't trade.
We were accompanied by Mr..
Bandy, formerly manager of the
Chino sugar beet factory, who was
figuring on getting the quarter next
to ours.
Two hours drive brought us to the
summit Of the Tehachapi mountains.
where we ran into snow and the wind
was blowing chill and cold from the
northwest. Leaving the mountains,
we plunged into the Mojave desert,

Jesus Christ Was
Not a "Slacker''

Harold Bell Wright, the noted au-
thor. has written the first magazine
article he ever wrote for the Febru-
ary American magazine. 1t is called
"The Sword of Jesus" and in 1t he
says:
"On the wall of my study, op-
posite my writing table, there hangs
picture, a large reproduction OF
Eoffman's Christ For all my
writing years, whenever the condi-
tons under which l have worked
have made it all possible, this pic
ture of Jesus has looked done upon
NE.
"At times, sad times, have sensed
in this pictured countenance OF the
Master rebuke and censure, and l
Lave felt ashamed. At other times,
clad times, and all too seldom,
have fancied l could almost hear
from those lips the words, We'll
DONE. At still other times, as
have unused over the task set for
me. that face has seemed to say;
BE not afraid, bring to me the prob
lens of life that trouble you so. ASK
of me, as you would ask of broth
sr or friend
"And so / ask in this awful hour
that is for all mankind so pregnant
with mighty and eternal possibili-
ties: Jesus, il you were here, now,
in the flesh as you were in Galilee,
what would you do in the matter of
this war?
"'If you were citizen Of this
nation, Jesus, what would you do?
"The commandment Of Jesus that
we forgive men their trepasses can
rot be sanely construed to mean
that we must permit men to continue
u lleSpdoSiH5.
Christ Not a Pacifist
Jesus was a man of peace.
"Yes. But this does not necessar-
i!y mean that he was a pacifist.
There is a vast difference between
man of peace and a pacifist. Be-
tween the peace-at-any-price man
and the peace-no-matter-what-it-
costs man there is great gulf fixed.
THE man who said: Think not
that l am come to send peace on
earth; l came not to send peace,
but a sword was certainly no peace
at-any-price man.
Jesus lived a mans life among
men, played mans part in the
game of life, and died a mans
death.
This man of Galilee was no
Stacker. From his cradle to his
cross, from Bethlehem to Calvary,
he was a mans man, man of the
people and for the people"

time of the year the moon comes to

Thus the moon seems to skim along
the eastern horizon, rising only n
little later from night to night, and
so gives us the numerous moonlight
