A young soldier was watching the

By HARRIET CHAPEL
OF The Vigu0nteS

Ages agO-that Is, in the early days
of the European war, the Woman's
Peace party undertook the noble work
of curing the, worlds war sickness.
They attracted my attention by an
n0uncing q two weeks course Of lee
lures which promised vast enlighten-

attached myself to them with great
hopes. I thought, "Now I shall hear
of a substitute for war, effective
enough to check evil doers," for I had
a Philistine feeling that there were
evildoers yet about.
Daily listened to those lectures and
even timidly put my questions when
the proper time for question came.
They were nice people, those friends,
and I am very grateful for the oppor-
tunity of study which they afforded
me.
But my first question, Suppose some
evil-minded nation Is really bent on ag'
erosion, what means can be used for

cause they blandly assumed that all ma.
lions are really bent on peace and wars
arise purely from misapprehensions
therefore what Is needed Is agreements
to arbitrate and to boycott fretful ma
tons. So simple!
Might BE Sinner Nationa
My supposition that there might be
sinper nations must have seemed
frightfully crude, but somehow 1t lin
gers with me yet. Their plans, based
on international agreements and eco
nomic penalties, appeared to me so re
mote and 80 conditional upon the good
will Of the parties-which good will
would keep the peace anyway-that
grew doubtful Of their practical value
But second problem there was
which might bring to light remedy

Why? In the case at hand, note what
would have followed an attempt to
arrest. The citizen, acting within the
law, might have drawn a weapon (as-
Stunning his right to carry One) and In
form the two men that they were I'M

ton to them that he Is about to en-
force his right. This notification draws
forth an explanation-one man says.
We'll say: II am secret service
officer. I am engaged in the perform
ance Of my duty" On both sides then
there is an understanding of the sit
uation. The citizen still may enforce
arrest, If he can, for the two men have
conspired, and he has overheard their
conspiracy. Attempt to enforce arrest,
would, in the case at hand, lead to
the exhibition by the secret service
man, Of his credentials. Result, no
hasty murder-no breaking Of the law.
Instead of that, our man, without af-
fording the two men trial, prejudged
their case In his own mind, tried and
convicted them, and then executed
them on the spot. 1t cannot be done.

What is the object Of presenting
here, this peculiar situation7 Are
American citizens to be discouraged

Hogs Fed Cheaply on Good Pasture

Recent experience has shown that
a good pasture is one Of the cheapest
sources of food for hogs, says An
drew Boss of the Minnesota Expert
ment Station. Brood sows and their
filters should have green feed Of
some kind. Green clover is best.
Oats and peas are good substitute.
Oats and dwarf Essex rape or any
of the cereal grains sown with rape
and clover are also satisfactory pas
ture crops. A mixture of oats one
and one-half bushels, peas one bus
hel, and rape two pounds an acre
will give splendid pasture that
will furnish feed until about the
first of August. A field of corn in
which three pounds of rape has been
sown broadcast at the. last cultiva-
