Russia and the United States.

The old a%utocratic government OF
Russia was always particularly friend.
ly to the United States. During the
Revolutionary wal Russia offered TO
mediate for peace and her offer was
accepted by the United States but de-
clined by Great Britain. Russia was
one of the first governments to recog-
niZe the independence of the United
States and continued to show her good
will by making treaties of amity and
commerce with the United States. Sew
eral of our early presidents in their
messages referred TO 'the continued
friendship Of Russia" In 1923, Rus
STA proposed a friendly adjustment
through diplomatic channels of the
boundary line between American and
Russian possessions In the Northwest
and President Monroe authorized the
United States minister to Russia to at
tend to the matter. In doing so he
said: "The government of the United
States has been DESTROYS by this friend
ly proceeding TO manifest the great
value which they have invariably at
tached to the friendship Of Russia and
their solicitude to cultivate the best
understanding with that government"

GLASS STAINED BY X-RAYS
Experiments Have Shown These Pro-
duce the Same Effect as the
Light of the Sun.

It is well known that glass exposed
for long to sunlight acquires a violet
tint. In very old houses the windows
facing south are often distinctly VIC.
let. Experiments recently made in the
laboratories of the General Electric
company at Schenectady with X-rays
prove that these can be used to dye
glass In many colors, principally an
a~methystine violet and an amber vel
low, but also green and bright yellow
These colors, according to Mr.. Ro
seminal, who conducted the expert
ments. are due to notifications ~ the
physical structure of the glass and not
TO chemical alterations. The color can
be made to penetrate to any desired
depth, from a mere surface tint to
complete c%oloration of the entire sub
stance. And the same method cur be
applied to tinting porcelain, enamel
and precious stones.
An interesting and important fact
about this glass that has been colored
by long exposure to X-rays is that 1t
becomes impervious to the radlations
that have transformed It. Thus 1t can
be used as a protection against the
glare Of the sun or the snow and
against the X-rays themselves.

Ever See a Dinqonek7

The dingonek is a huge, ~unclassihed
aquatic monster. says the Wide World
Magazine. II resembles In many of its
characteristics the extinct dinosaur, a
huge reptile of the Mesozoic period, fos-
sils of which have been discovered by
psychologists In the sandstone strata

tinents. Ii lives In Lake Victoria Ny

SUNLIGHT DISTRESSING.

In addition to the wind there is an
other peculiarly of the inland Ice
which adds to the difficulties to be
encountered In the Arctic. That is the
extreme intensity OF the sunlight,
which can be realized only by those
who have experienced 1t. During the
summer months the sun shines as
brightly there In clear weather as any
where further south, and this contIn-
uous brilliancy is intensified a hun
dredfold by the reflection from endless
fields of glistening, sparkling snow,
unrelieved by a single object. The
strongest eyes can stand such a blind
ing glare only a few hours without
protection. We always wore heavy
smoked glasses, and when in camp
found II impossible to sleep without
still further protecting the eyes by
tying a narrow band of fur about them
to exclude the light. Only when a
storm is brewing does this intense
light become subdued. At such times,
however, the sky and snow take on a
peculiar gray, Opaque light, which is
ever more trying than the sunlight

The woman sat bewildered in the

the trust. After the man left the ar,
she. too, attempted TO establish a line
of communication with the conductor,
but failed. She was nearing her own
destination, but conscience forbade
her leaving the car until her neigh
boris fare had been paid. Before that
feat was accomplished she had been
carried four blocks past her street.
When she finally got home her temper
was slightly damaged.

Let us think for a while how the
war concerns the farmer.
We went to war with Germany
partly because the rulers of that
country refused to let us SEND to
Europe our ships laden with grain
n cotton. They sunk the ships and
cruelty murdered our sailors. Now
suppose we allowed them to stop all
our shipping, where would you be?
None of your goods would be sold
In foreign countries, with the result
that you would get nothing like the
prices which you get today. This war
is being waged partly that you may
obtain fair prices for your goods.
what is going to happen If we
lose this war? Prices of farm pro
duce will drop; the Germans will
impose taxation upon you which will
cripple you for the next twenty years
Worse tina that, If the Germans get
over here, they will treat you in lust
the same way as they have the farm
ers OF France. Belgium and Italy. In
these sections farm houses have been
shot TO pieces, crops wasted and
burned; even fruit trees chopped
down, the cattle stolen, the men sent
into slavery to work for German
masters, their women ill-treated in
ways that cannot be talked of in
print, their little children have had
their hands chopped off in order that
they may never fight or do any more
useful work again.
You may say such things will not
happen here" They said this in
France, in Belgium and in Italy. Such
things will happen here just as sure
as you are alive, unless we smash
the so utterly that they are
unable to reach this country. The
German fleet and the German army
VIII take Just one week to get here
nf we are beaten. They have made
up their minds that America shall

Is there a farmer who will stand
forward now and say, This wal does
mot concern me?"
You ave money that you do not
need at present. Loan it to the Gov
'ernment at good interest; when O
want the money back again, you can
borrow on your bond, or sell it. Uncle
Sam will take care of your money
until you need it and pay you interest
on 1t.
Go and buy a Liberty Bond to-
morrow.
Don't be a Stacker, and don't fool
yourself with the idea that Won are
too far away from the war for It to
hurt you. Remember 1914, when the
Germans upset the worlds shipping.
and you took what you could get for
your products.

ton prices ahead of you, in case we
