A%RISTOCRACY IN BATTLE

Filings are often made at the kaiser and his six sons
because while they exist at the head Of a great military
estaolsnment' not one Of them has yet figured in the cas-
uaity lists, and there seems to be no likelihood Of any
Of them doing so. It will be just as well If we do not
permit our dislike Of German methods to lead us into a
form OF criticism Of German men for which there ts M
warrant.
Whatever may be the faults Of the German roval
family, and they are numerous enough, there is no evil.
oence tnat lack OF personal courage is among them. In
= ~ 8 said OF the crown prince, that, with the cynical
aiculauo which Is reported to characterize him, he has
-on 9 'nan one occasion placed himself in positions
OF considerable personal peril merely in order 70 win the
plaudits Of his soldiers and the populace generally. We
must remember that under the German system the en-
peror Is the commander OF the armies, and all his Sons
are, by virtue Of their birth, destined for high military
commands. And the basic idea in the German theory
OF government is that the life Of the emperor ana rex+
TO that the life Of his heir. is the most precious thing N
the state. something to be guarded with scrupulous care,
sand not to be rashly risked on the field Of battle. Per-
sonal courage has nothing to do with the case.
England has given us ~forceful illustration Of the fact
Ssthat patriotism and personal courage are not to he
measured in terms Of rank and station. The element Of
fanny sany aristocracy 10 probably as deeply ingrained in the
English AZ in any people in the world. But when the
6cadl 70 arms came there was no faltering on the part OF
the aristocrats: The young men Of the titled families
we're among the hrst to volunteer, and scores Of English
tides have lapsed because the men who had the right to
g@Mear them, often several from a single family, died SPLEEN
#dld iIy with their comrades on the ne1ds Of France or
sE1andsrs
The idea OF 4 titled aristocracy Is repusnant to the
4gyShois American conception OF things. We have no duke.

SOW THISTLE
IS MENACE TO
GRAIN CROPS
Only Hard Work and
Watching Will Keep Nox-.
ious Weed from Fields.

Much has been said during the past
few months Of the evil results from
the Burberry bush, authorities on
farming agree that I'M Of the worst
weeds in this section Of the country's
history of farming is the sow thistle.
The plant needs little description by
way Of Introduction to the farmer, for
many of the fields throughout. the
county are infested with it.
/ : 1t was first observed in Canada and
is gradually invading the grain pro-
ducing sections Of the United States
There are two varieties of the thistle
one perennial, the other annual.
The latter is not so harmful as the
first named plant, because. while the
leaves and stem perish, the root re-
mains alive from year to year, and in
time, develops a plant Sufficient to
choke out practically all other kinds
Of vegetation.
Farmers in Grand Forks county are
generally familiar with the two vari-
ties of SOW thistle and appreciate the
distructiveness Of the pest. It grows
fully as fast, iif not faster than the
grain and may be seen at this time
from the roads. The yellow blossoms
appearing above the grain in the
fields. \
Weed commissioners have been ap.
pointed by the county authorities, ONT
man for each of the commissioners
districts. The districts in the south.
west and northwest portions Of the
county have been pretty thoroughly
surveyed by these commissioners and
considerable good work has been done
in the other districts.
Farmers have been urged to pull
tho uyoo6e md rj1a <hou,. ~ l~1 =, !.
nov and rake them and after drying
t burn same. This is practically the
only way to prevent a spread Of the
weed, because when 1t once comes into
bloom, the seed will mature and is
carried on the downy, blossom of the
plant for miles to terminate in other
fields. It has been said that several
thousand seeds will mature from each
blossom. This ean of course, that
II every possible precaution is not
taken the fields will in short time. be-
come infested with the abominable
weed. which in time will spread until
whole farms instead Of some fields,
will become useless for agricultural
purposes.
Sow thistle can continue to live only
when It's leaves are permitted to grow.
II, the ground is~ kept black and no
leaves are allowed to develop the plant
can be killed in from one to two Years
On some farms hemp has been
planted. not only. for the value Of the
fibre but also to- act as a t"smother
crop" against SOW thistle. A number
OF the farmers report that they have
succeeded in checking the growth OF
the thistle in,this way.
TT. Roman of Marvel, was success
ful last year in Kidding q field, bad
with SOW thistle, by planting corn and
then keeping the ground absolutely
clean Of weeds by cultivating.
e. franklin Of Emerado, planted
hemp last year, but the SOW thistle rot
the start Of the hemp crop and in mid
summer he was obliged to pillow the
crop under. The thistle was so weak
ened by this operation that with clean
cultivation during the remainder OF
the season the field has been con-.
pletely rid Of the weed.

In England they do things differ

intensified all over the country, and
additional professors are appointed
at the great universities for the study
OF German language and literature.

In America this IS. however, over
wheimihgly a matter Of sentiment
as a rule. OF misled sentiment. 1t is
not realized that the matter is OF the
utmost importance from a purely
practical point Of view, and most
people fail to see the intellectual hd-
vantages Of European training which
results in teaching children foreign
languages from their sixth and sew
enth year up.
The Question of Home Love.
There is another phase of the
problem Of the foreign-born: They
are expected to surrender their feel
ings for their home lands entirely.
This is exactly parallel to asking any
his mothers home, his childhood
home. It is rarely understood that
the cultural and other. impressions
gathered in the native countries Of
the foreign-born are fundamental
and absolutely formative as far as
character is concerned. 70 demand
that love Of the old country be
quenched, amounts to the same thing
big bGilding, and it is an exceedingly
we'll known fact that good NAmeri-
cans are never developed out Of peo-
pie who have not learned loyalty and
love Of country before they came

A STITCH IN TIME
Canaan People Should not Neglect
Their Kidneys

No kidney ailment is unimportant.
Don't overlook the slightest back
ache or urinary irregularity. Nature
may be warning you of approaching
dropsy, gravel or Bright's disease.
Kidney disease is seldom fatal if
treated in time, but neglect may
pave the way. Don't neglect lame
or aching back another day. Don't
ignore dizzy spells, headaches,
WEAKNESS or depression. If you feel
you need kidney help begin using
the reliable, time-tried remedy,
Doan's Kidney Pills. For so years,
Doan's have been found effective.
Endorsed by Canaan people.
Mrs. w. E. Pectal, w. Main ST.,
Canaan, says: 81 had severe back
aches, which caused me considerable
trouble. l had terrible lame back
when 1 got up in the morning and
I felt much worse than at night. One
box of Doan's Kidney Pills cured
me entirely. They are certainly a
wonderful medicine and l am glad to
recommend them"
