German reply to the statement last
week Of Sir Eric Geddes, first lord OF
the British admiralty, who, in review.

marine warfare, said the submarine
menace was being held, that sinking of
merchantment was decreasing and de.

What Sir Eric Geddes said is not
new. 1t is merely repetition of familiar
assertions which are disproved by facts
and appear periodically in speeches of
talkative wirepullers in England. II
that brave optimist, Geddes, expects
by such means to lower the morale and

In his series Of lectures on price

noted economist Of Yale, said that IN
this problem as in all great problems
there are four questions to answer
They are: First, What is it? Then
second: Why is it? Then third.
What OF IL? And fourth: What are
we going to do about it? II l may
venture to suggest the questions are
well put They lead up to a climax
as 1t were. In fact l venture the
opinion that the people at the present
moment will listen eagerly to the an

DAIRY COWS GIVEN
TO RED CROSS

London-Sixty pure bred dairy cows
are the latest present received by the
American Red Cross. They are the
result Of an appeal to Cattle Breed
ers." issued by the leading citizens
of the little island of Guernsey in the
British channel to stock the new Amer
lean Red Cross hospital farm at Sails
bury with island cattle.
The appeal" reads in part:
4. year ago when the food situation
in England and in the Channel islands
was a source of greatest anxiety to
the authorities, the Americans, living
in the land of plenty, voluntarily ra-
toned themselves in order that we
might have enough to eat. And they
are still doing SO.
At the most critical moment in the
history of this righteous war Amer
lea came to u assistance.
America is now turning what might
have been defeat and degradation in
to a glorious victory. What can we
do in turn?
The American Red Cross is erect
ing a hospital with 300 beds at Calls
bury Court, "a Southampton, and
has purchased a large area of land
surrounding it for a farm capable of
supplying all it's dairy and other
needs.
1t would be a gracious act on the
part of the Guernsey farmers to stock
the farm with Guernsey cows.
Then the farmers and cattle grow
ers of Guernsey at a special meeting
of the Farmers Association and the
Agricultural Society secured a special
license for the export of the selected
cattle to the American Red Cross hos.
pital farm at Salisbury.
When the COW owners of Jersey
heard of the Guernsey gift they vot'
ed to send a group of their best stocl
to the American Red Cross.

result in an even larger demand upon
the American people for assistance
and succor which they can render
through the American Red Cross.
MI. Folkes has been director of the
American Red Cross civilian relief
work in France for the last Is months.
He will visit the American Red Cross
commission Of all European countries,
possibly one in Russia. His staff in
cludes food and health experts, pho
tographers and an interpreter for each
country. Mr.. Folkes will stduy the
effect of the wal on the civilian pop
ulation and the changes it has wrought
in the social family life. I'M addition
to endeavoring to determine the hu-
man cost Of the great conflict, he
will study the property loss and prog

few of the instructors activities out
side Of the class room.
Objections r frequently raised
that a small high school cannot afford
to employ an additional instructor.
Science work 10 taught in every high
school. Usually a man is employed
for this work. Why not employ an
instructor who has had agricultural
training? His training along the lines
og general science has been much
more extensive and thorough than the
mar who has not taken an agricultural
course Furthermore, his instruction
in science will be practical.
Another question which is frequent
ly asked is will young men in a high
school study agriculture? A study of
the state agricultural college cata-
logue will show that students come
three hundred miles and more to take
high school courses in agriculture at
the college. Money is going out of
communities, which would be spent at
home if local high schools offered
ourse which prepared young men for
work on the farms and ranches.
