Refuses Large Profit for Corn.

Cherokee. Ia, Jan. 2S.-John
Card. a farmer living some distance
south of Cherokee, is a real patriot.
Recently he was offered $40 per bush
ell for 200 bushels Of last years corn,
which he had graded and tested for
seed, by a Cedar Rapids seed house.
Knowing, however, that he had sew
eral neighbors who were not supplied
with seed, he refused the offer, and
informed his friends that il they
needed seed for next spring they
could get it from him at So bushel.
AS a consequence, many farmers
in that neighborhood now have
enough seed to plant their acreage,
which otherwise they would have had
to pay an exorbitant price for.

Kaiser Can Never Win.

The Kaiser can never win this war.
Say he defeats Italy. Say he defeats
France. Say he gets peace with Rus
STA and has his will in the Balkans
and in Poland. Even then his posi-
tion will be less strong relatively,
than Napoleon's once was. The Unit
ed States, Great Britain, and Japan
can still shut him from the sea. With
all the raw material resources of
North America and South America,
Africa, and most of Asia,
to draw from, and with command OF
salt water, they can maintain an
economic blockade until the people OF
Germany set up a peoples govern
ment with which lasting peace can
be made. The United States and Great
Britain will never surrender to tri-
umphant militarism. On the sea and
in the air-if the worst happens on
will keep up the fight un-
til the basis of an enduring peace ap-

My Dear Editor:
You may be surprised to hear
from me, but perhaps l can interest
you for few minutes. On Jan. Sd
Washington sent me a telegraphic or
der to report to Commanding General
Wright at Camp Doniphan at Ft. Sill,
Oklahoma. L did so on Jan. 9th and
am now assigned to Field NHospital
No. 1877 of Sanitary Train No. 10.
There is divisional organization of
Field Hospitals and Ambulance
companies in the train. 1t may be Of
interest to know that before this war
our army never had such thing as
a complete Divisional Sanitary Train
None of our army officers had ever
seen one for we had never had need
for such an organization.
This division, No. 80, is composed
of the National Guards of Missouri
and Kansas. A large part is from st.
Louis, Kansas City, st. Joe, Topeka,
Wichita and a few other such cities.
They are good sturdy fellows and
will be fine body of fighters for I'm
Gle Sam. This division has about 25,-
900 men. A division consists of infan-
try, cavalry, artillery, sanitary trains,
machine gun companies, engineer
corps, and signal corps, including
aero squadron. Every day the air

The artillery practices at targets
all day long. With the planes hum
ming and the cannon booming it
sounds like real war The 35th Div.
expects to get out of here before
March. Preparation for mObilizing
are under rapid headway. Our direc-
tor and eight officers from the train
are to start from here the 23d for
over seas. We have had pretty stiff
winter weather for southern Oklaho-

Dirty Air More Deadly Than Dirty
Water.

Fresh air advise and admonitions
to "open the window" can again be
received without a shiver. A Cedar
Rapids physician puts it this way:
"Coddle yourself and you flirt with
Pneumonia climbs as-the
descends; it goes up as
windows go down. Dirty air is far
more deadly than dirty water or dir
ty food" To the thin and the cOddler
he says: "If you don't keep your win
dows open a little all the time, you
should at least throw them wide open
for twety minutes each day, and es-
pecially give your bedroom a thor
ough airing before retiring"

A Matter of Mathematics.

A Nebraska man has figured out
that if all the cattle we ship to mar
ket each year were one COW she
would browse on the tropical vegeta-
tion along the equator, while her
tail was switching icicles off the north
pole. BY theaid ofhigher mathematics
he has so made the discovery that II
all the hogs we slaughter annually
were one hog, that animal could dig
the Panama canal il two roots and
half, and it's squeal would be so loud
it would jar the aurora borealis. 1t
may be questioned if there are better
mathematicians anywhere than some
of those Nebraskans-when they get
their imaginations at work.

ALIEN GERMANS
MUST REGISTER FEB. 4
Every UnnaturaliZed German in the
United States Over ii Years of
Age to Stand Up to be
Counted.
SIX DAYS GIVEN q
FOR AL REGISTER
German Aliens Living he Terri

ter at POstOffice.

The week of February has b.
set aside for the purpose of register
ing Unnaturalized Germans and ev-
cry male alien in Iowa over 4 years
OF age will have to be registered
These people will get a great deal
more courteous treatment than if
they were Americans living in Ger
many
In the latter case they would be
hustled around on the theory that
they were guilty of being spies until
they proved themselves innocent. In
this country the very tolerant and
good natured officials will be apt to
accept their statements until ground
for suspicion is suggested.
The dates of the registration are
Feb. 4, 8, 6, Z, 8, and 8. The hours
are stated to begin at 6 p. m. on
Feb. a, and will end at p. m. Feb.
3. All German aliens living in the
territory covered by the Decorah
postoffice, that is the city of Decorah
and the rural routes must call at the
Decorah postoftice and be registered.
Assistant Postmaster f.. j. Powers
viii do the registering.
Uncle Sam is going to get the pho
tograph, finger prints and BertilloI
measurements of every German alien
in Iowa. Aliens in every part OF the
United States will have to comply
with this order.
Penalty for failure to register is
internment for the duration of the
war. No legal action will be required.
The mere fact that German alien
has failed to register will be prima
faeie evidence of his guilt and he will
be automatically imprisoned without
even filing of information.
The government order compels
each alien to furnish four photo
graphs of himself. These pictures will
be filed in various government de-
partments. Finger prints and Bertil-
Ion measurements will also be re-
corded il the same manner. Once the
alien is "mugged and Bertilloned'
this government will have complete
record of him which may come in
handy before the war ends.
Police departments in all cities OF
5000 population or over will super
wise registration. In small towns the
local postmaster will direct the work
of registering the aliens.
This registration OF enemy aliens
is thing that has started none toe
soon. 1t should have begun soon af-
ter the war started, when we set out
to be neutral. AT that time it was evil
dent that many of our residents
would not observe this neutrality
While the government was trying tc
treat all sides fairly, they were
working day and night for Germany
This registration should be abso-
lutely thorough. No alien enemy
should be permitted to slip throus!
The very many who are loyal and
friendly to their new home will not
be interfered with in any way. AS tC
the others, we want their number.

Ever notice how much truth there

The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1918-06-14

On more than one occasion Senator
BoTah has taken exception to allu-
sions to "leaders of the Republican
party in the senate" In doing so the
Idaho senator dlsclaims any title or
right to be considered a "leader." but
he objects to any body Of self-consti-
tuted headers speaking for the Re
publicans # the senate. The last oc-
casiOn when he adverted to this sub
ject was at the time of the appoint
meat of Charles f. Hughes as an in
vestigator of the aircraft imbroglio.
Now, 1t Is q fact that some Repub-
licans felt the selection of Mr.. Hughes
was a shrewd move on the part of
President Wilson that would tend to
shut off any possible partisan criti-
cism that could be made In regard TO
aircraft production, especially If the
findings should be that there had
been no misuse of money or crimi-
nal action. Some newspapers pub
lished stories to that effect and attrib-
uted the comments to Republican
leaders"
Senator Borah repudlated the idee
that there was any Republican obJec-
ton to the selection of Mr.. Hughes.
A little later Senator SmoOt remarked
that Mr.. Hughes selection was as
remarkable as 1t was admirable"

Protect the Birds.

Saving the song birds of France Is
the object of a plan proposed by NJ.
Andre Godart, Partisan. M. Godart
calls attention to the scarcity of
birds in France, due to insufficient
protection, and the consequent loss to
grape growers of the Gironde In 1910
Of 100000 of francs, as well as a
decrease in the oil production of south
ern France, so great that the olive
growers threatened to abandon the in
dustry. He suggests that goldtinches,
bull finches, linnets, yellowhammers,
thrushes. blackbirds and starlings, all
of which nest readily In gardens, be
reared In large and specially designed
aviarles and released when full grown
to repopulate the now deserted woods
and fields.

HEART EVER KINDLY
John GaISWorthy Describes the
POiIu at His Best.
Glad Of Opportunity to Divide Ratlons
and Make Friends With Four
footed Creature That Had Evi.
IDENTIFY Known Suffering.

The sun, boring into his spine
through his thin shirt, made him reach
for his jacket. There was the little
dog still sitting on It's base, 20 yards
away. 1t covered and dropped Its
ears when he moved, and he thought :
Poor beast Some one has been do
ing the devils work on you, not badly |"
There were some biscuit in the
pocket Of his jacket, and he held one
out. The dog shlvered aud its pink
tongue lolled painting with desire and
fear. Jean Llotard tossed the biscuit
gently about half way. The dog cow
cred back step or two, crept forward
three, and again squatted. Then very
gradually 1t crept up to the biscuit,
bolted II, and regained Its distance.
The soldier took out another. This
time he threw II five PAGES only in
front Of him. Again the little beast
covered, skunk forward, seized the bis
cult, devOured II; but this time 1t only
rscoiled a pace or two, and seemed,
with painting mouth and faint wagglng
Of the tail, to beg for more. Jean
Li0tard held a third biscuit as far In
front Of him as he could, and waited.
The creature crept forward and
squatted just out Of reach. There II
sat, with saliva dropping from its
mouth seemingly 1t could not make up
its mind to that awful venture. The
soldier sat motionless; his outstretched
hand began to tire, but he did not
budge-he meant to conquer Its fear.
At last 1t snatched the biscuit. Jean
Liotard instantly held out fourth.
That, too, was snatched, but at the
fifth he was able to touch the dog. 1t
covered almost into the ground at the
touch of his fingers, and then lay. still
trembling violently, while the soldier
continued to stroke its head and ears.
And suddenly his heart gave twltter /;
the creature had licked his hand. He
took out his last biscuit, broke II up
and fed the dog slowly with the bits,
talking all the time; when the last
crumb was gone he continued to MUIR
muir and crumple Its ears softly. He
had become aware of something hap
penlng within the dog-somethlng In
the nature of conversation, as If 1t
were saying: master, my new master /!
Il worship, l love you'll" The crea-
ture came gradually closer, quite close;
then put up Its sharp, black nose and
began to lick his face.-From "Cafard,"
by John Galsworthy, in Scribner's.

Rich ore Discovery.

Montana is the latest state to re-

that state over an alleged marvellous
discovery at a mine where already
about 100000 tons Of this precious
ore are in sight. In view Of the many
exaggerated reports concerning manga
nese ore that have been circulated In
the United States since the war began.
the report may mean little more than
some Of the others.
