BELGIUM

Do not call her little Belgium any
more, rather call her the Great Ma
tion-this heroic Belgium whose sons
stood shoulder to shoulder on her
frontiers defying the German hordes,
has covered herself with glory. As
small as they seemed as a nation
each Belgian, whether Walloon or
Flemish, stands today in the Epics
CT Patriotism as Giants, defying Grear
Germany from the walls of Liege and
Antwerp to the small remaining ter
ritory saved by their valor, where
they stand glorified, head-high. fight
ing to the last.
For little Belgium contained great
nation who stood in the path of the
ravaging Huns as buffer protecting
human rights. This hallowed nation
sacrificed on the altar of civilized
mankind is an immortal monument OF
self-immolation so that human liberty
may exist on earth.
They have but one love-their
country; and one allegiance-th their
king. Whether Belgea, Walloon OF
Flemish, they have emulated the feats
Of the Spartans at Thermopylea
and the history of mans freedom will
hence begin with their opposing tc
the frightful German hordes. Lions
of the feats of the Spartans at Their.
mopylea, and the history of mans
freedom will hence begin with theil
opposing to the frightful German
hordes. Lions hearts!
Do not call her little Belgium any
more-this great nation who stood a,
an advance guard of civilization
whose sons did not fail to challenge
Prussianism.
Hats off to this great nation.

We very much regret it, but from
the attitude of a few persons towards
the united and harmonious plan Of
raising funds adopted by the Y. NJ

of the President, we
fear that If these good folks came on
an American soldier dying on the bat
tleaeld they would withhold drink
of water from him until he gave a
satisfactory answer to the question
as to what church he attended. An(
we regret this all the more because
the people who seem to have thi:

Indiana SETTING
PACE FOR ENTIRE
j, S. He DECLARES
Prof. Christie Says Hoosiers
Are Setting Mark, Making
State F Famous.

LAFAYETTE, Ind. March II. -
What Indiana is doing in an agricul-
ture line to set the pace for the entire
country was outlined here today In
statement BY Prof. G. |. Christie,
state food director and head OF the
Agricultural Extension department OF
Purdue University. With almost
dozen food production campaigns I'M
der way at this time and several
others Just completed, Indiana is set
ting a mark which is making her IA
NOUS said Prof. Christie, who added
that Indiana has responded nobly 20
every food call from Uncle Sam since
the war started"
Campaigns now under way, Mr..
Christie said, include those for testing
all seed corn before planting; for plac-
ing an agricultural agent in every
county; to increase the pork product
ion 20 percent; to treat all oats seed
to prevent smut; TO double the supply
OF poultry and eggs: to have every city
dweller plant a garden; to place silos
on 10000 more Indiana farms: to en-
courage the raising of more sheep as
a means of increasing the wool and
meat supply; and to enroll $4,000 more
boys and girls in pig, calf, sheep,
poultry, garden, canning, sewing and
baking clubs.
These drives" the statement con-
tinued. mean the organization of all
forces, city and rural, to increase food
production and Indiana tops the list
OF states in this work which is so
essential in the winning of the war.
The recently completed seed stocks
and labor survey, one of the biggest
single agricultural campaigns ever
vaged in any state. aroused farmers
in every county to the seriousness of
the seed corn shortage. AS result,
thousands of farmers, who found they
had no seed have purchased 1t and
others are being supplied as rapidly
as possible with the transfer of seed.
Thus the 1918 corn acreage In Ind
lana is assured but strenuous cam
paign is being wages every day for
the testing Of every ear of seed before
It is planted.
IF every farmer in Indiana will
treat his oats to prevent smut, the
WELD this year will be increased seven
million bushels and, figuring this
crop at 70 cents a bushel-it is now
nearer dollar--this will bring
1925, 900 more to farmers of this
state. in addition to greatly increasing
the food supply"

YANKEE HUMoR AT THE FRONT
American Lads, az Is Characteristic Of
Them, Dare Death and Physical
Peril With Jest.

The i~rrcpressible obullience OF
the Yankee soldier rises above the
terror Of war and bubbles in sparks
ling efferyesccnce over the battle
front, says the Omaha Bee. On
devastated fields, where he tolls to re-
store some semblance Of civilization,
he erects signs that indicate his eter-
nal optimism and defiance Of fate.
These signs are not grim in irony
or threatening in aspect as are some
erected by the enemy, but are full OF
the spirit of hope and purpose. The
ripple Of laughter that flows from
them may strike some Of the more
serious-minded as in some out
Of place, but they really show no lack
Of reverence. They are expressive OF
indomitable resolve to revise and
make useful what the foe has sought
to destroy.
Daring death with q jest and fout.
ing at physical peril is characteristic
Of the light-hearted men who are go
ing with all their souls into the
thickest Of wars inferno. They work
while they laugh and bring al ex-
ample Of courage and hope to a land
that needs II most.
American humor is an inseparable
companion to American pluck and
determination and always "the
bravest are the tenderest, the loving
are the daring"

Like q Liberty Bond, Death Is
A Patriotic Investment in


Lieutenant Dinsmore Ely u.
S. A.. of Winnetka, a suburb of
Chicago, was recently killed in
an engagement in France. He
was in the aviation service. and
according to the New Mexico
State Record, a letter was re-
ceived from him a few days be-
fore his death by his father, DR..
James o. Ely, which closed as
follows: And | want to say in
closing that if anything happens
to me, let US have no mourning
in spirit or in dress. Death like
Liberty Bond, is an investment,
not a loss, when a man dies for
his country. 1t is an honor to a
family, and is that the time for
weeping? | would rather leave
my family rich in memories of
my life, than numbed in sorrow
at my DEATH"
Poets may sing, and writer's
exhaust their intellectual energ-
les in glowing articles and speak
ers revel in flights of oratory,
but the patriotic words of Lieu
tenant Ely will live as long as
the spirit of freedom and Ameri-
can independence thrives within
the breast.
Peace to his ashes; and may
we all be endowed with that
same love and loyalty to our
country, which prompted such
manly utterances. He was laid to
rest wrapped in the folds of the
flag he loved so we'll and leaves
an undying monument of graf
itude in the hearts of his country
men Rest cherished Patriot
your words will strengthen our
courage, and cement togeth-
er a stronger and more enduring
determination to end this war in
the interest of peace and justice
that shall everlastingly reign on
the face of the earth.
