An eastern statesman made an aw-
full hit the other evening with MS
speech. He had discovered new sys.
tenn to bring out the cheers. Every
two minutes, by the clock, he mentions
the name of some famous man. On
this evening he made them cheer nine
times for the President, seven times
for Col. Roosevelt, five times for Per

out handicap ymentioning Herbert.
About two months ago we read the
warning:
Save your old overcoats, because
They will be scarce next year"
We didn't actually believe that there
would ever
Be a scarcity OF old overcoats.
Old overcoats are the most plentiaful
Thing in the world. However,
We took the advice home with us
And began saving our old overcoats.
We had two of them to save.
Yesterday we hauled them out to
Take squint at them and found that
The moths didn't take the advice as we
did.
Moths don't believe what they see
In the papers. II we hadn't tried
To save our old overcoats
We would have had them yet, but,
AS it is, each OF them has been
Summarized in several important

Too Late"

Under this caption, the New York Times
says:
: How long are the Allies to sit by and watch
Germany win the war? For win the war she
will if she establishes her domination of Russia.
and the Allies are sitting by and watching her
do it. How long are the Allies to go on deliver
ing the next generation, the future of the world,
bound hand and foot into Ger1nany's prison
house? For if Germany controls Russia, then
the future is hers. How long are the Allies to
watch Germany making herself irresistible in
that next war which she is already arranging ?
For irresistible she will be if the German EN-
pire extends from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific
Ocean.
"The war will be won in the west" But if it
is won only in the west it will be lost. If it is
won only in the west we shall have done nothing
except to check temporarily, at terrible price,
Germanys movement against France and Bel
gium, and we shall have handed over to her, with
incredible generosity the means to make GER
tainly successful her next movement against
France and Begum-and England, and Canada,
and Brazil, and the United States.
Two years and half ago Mr.. Lloyd George
made that memorable complaint that in every
thing the Allies had done they had always been
'"too late" Are they to be too late again. and now
fatally too late? Are they to be too late where
tardiness is crucial and pivotal? Are they to
wait while Germany, swiftly molds the pliable
mass of Russia into the new German Empire:
Why, if they let her do that, Germany could ac-
tually afford to admit defeat on the western
'front.' to let the Allies have nearly everything
they wanted, Alsace-Lorraine included-even the
Trentino; for in the next war she could take
Alsace-Lorraine and the Trentino back again
with hardly an effort. Next war? There would
not be next war: it would be not war but a
promenade of the one great world empire over
the bodies of the democratic nations.
What does the rapidly progressing annexa-
ton of Russia mean to us? Is 1t merely one
more country swallowed in the German NAV,
merely larger Rumania or Belgium? No, 1t is
something of vastly greater meaning. Russia
within the German Empire, Russia even domi-
mated from the outside by the German Empire.
means the mightiest military empire the world
has ever seen, an empire beside which
the present German Empire will seem small
and not very powerful by comparison. To|
what ends will the strength of that vast
er empire be directed? To the same ends
as those for which the strength to the pres
ent and lesser German Empire has been directed,
and we have learned what they are in a terrible
school, From Hamburg to Vladivostok the
Hohenzollern mind will direct energies and pow
ers fifty-fold what it has been able to direct in
this war, direct them toward the conquest of the
whole world from Hudson's Bay to Cape Horn,
from Norway to the Cape of Good Hope, from

Der of Sousa's famous naval band at
Great Lakes Training station. The
young man had but recently returned
from a Liberty Loan boosting trip
through Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin.
He says in part:
Great Lakes, ILL.,, April %, 1913.
Dear Mother-I have been back over
a week and am just getting around
to write. All the bands were out on
the road and ours being the first out
we were the first to return. They are
short Of bass players and there were
only two of US at the station all week
till Friday when four of them came
in. We returned week ago yester-
day and of course the next day I die

Chicago. We played at the Public
building. Wednesday was at Racine

Raymond Hitchcock spoke. He is the

noon we played at the Sage Lock
Company's at Waukegan and Friday
night we played at school house on
Wilson avenue.
Saturday I played with the band in
Chicago. Sousa was there, and we
headed the Liberty Loan parade.
There were SO bands in the parade. Of
course it rained and we all were soak

played at the Auditorium and Mary

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS
TREATMENT FOR POTATOES.

TREATMENT FOR POTATOES.
Potato planting time is here again,
some have already planted early
varieties, but are you going to plant
again this year without treating them
for scab?
Look at your potatoes and notice
the large scabby blotches on the skin.
This is caused by fungous plant
working in the surface of the potato.
The germs of it are very abundant and
live for many years in the soil and
also over winter on the potatoes. If
these germs are fed to stock they I'M
doubleday grow in the manure, and the
use of such manure may often be the
cause of infection.
Perfectly clean potatoes planted in
a soil free from the scab fungus will
always and in any season produce a
crop of smooth clean potatoes, no
matter what may be the character of
the soil. Although the potatoes to be
planted may appear to be perfectly
clean, the germs may be on the skin
and the only sure way to treat them
in such way as to destroy the
fungous germs. Scabby potatoes may
be safely used for seed provided they
are first treated in such a way as to
destroy the germs of the scab that
adhere to them. There are many
methods of doing this but the most
practical now used are as follows:
