THINK.

If you think you're beaten, you are:
II you think you dare not, you don't;
If you'd like to win, but you think
you can't,
It's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellows will;
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you're outclassed, you are,
You've got to think big to rise;
You've got to be SUR of yourself be-
fore
You can ever win a prize.
Lies battles don't always 90
TO the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the mar who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.

turned from the %battlefields of France

no further need fer it.
Mr.. Wood was sc much wrapped
up in his league gospel that he ne
elected to say muchs.o the merits
of the war or Of the sacrifice Of the
thousands of brave boys who have
enlisted for service under Old Glory
or whom Uncle Sam has called to the
colors. The most charitably inclined
felt that Mr.. Wood showed rather
poor taste in his choice of a subject,
and there was a sigh Of relief from
the auditors who stuck 1t out to the
end and when the boys in the gal
leries were released and went clat-
tering down the stairs, signalling the
close Of the speakers talk.

because of this opposition, the state

INTEREST IN GOOD SEED GROWS

Interest in better seeds is shown by
the number of farmers who are send
ing seeds to the Missouri Branch Seed
Laboratory at Columbia, Mo. This
laboratory is maintained by the Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture
and the University of Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture for the purpose Of
testing seeds for purity, termination
and identification. by means of which
the farmer is able to save both the
labor and expense of planting poor
quality seeds. The principal work done
in the laboratory is testing for adul-
teration with poor quality, or with
foreign seed. During the last year
1899 samples from seedsmen, and g.
100 samples of seeds from farmers
have been sent to this laboratory to
be tested. This is an increase of 1853
per cent over 1,723, the total number
of samples sent in the previous year.

HOW TO KILL BLACK ANTS

The large black ants which cause
trouble in lawns may be destroyed
easily by using carbon bisulphide. This
is clear liquid which has very dis
agreeable odor, is highly volatile and
explosive. A broomstick or a sharp
stick may be used to make, a hole
from six to twelve inches deep in the
center of each ant mound. Pour in
it cupful or more Of the carbon BIZ
sulphide, depending upon the size of
the mound, and close the hole with
dirt and tramp it down. The fumes
are heavier than air and will settle
down through the earth and kill the
whole ant colony, says Leonard Hase-
man of the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture. Care should
be taken not to get any liquid on the
grass as it will kill the grass.

INTERVENTION IN RUSSIA

Intervention in Russia has for some
time waited upon the consent of Pres
ident Wilson, but it cannot wait much
longer, if at all. President Wilson can
scarcely withhold his assent now. The
Inter-Allied War Council has voted
that intervention should be made. As
this council is practically creation
of the United States, resulting from
special mission composed of Col.
House, Gen. Bliss and others sent to
England and France by the President,
this country should not be the first to
refuse to abide by it's decision. When
the United States entered tine war the
loss of strength and efficiency by the
lack of central control of the allied
forces and war policy was apparent.
President Wilson in effect told the
Allies, that this country would make
tremendous effort to place its
strength in every feature of the war,
provided they would get together in
Ia single strategic body and be gov
erned by the majority opinion of that
body. The war council was formed
That was followed by the appointment
of Gen. Foch as supreme commander.
This council has now decided that
the time for intervention in Russia
to save that country from complete
German control and to shut the door
of Russian supplies to the German
army, has come. The United States
could not set the example of refusal
to accept and act upon the decisions
of the council it was the most respon-
sible for creating. 1t is important
that when intervention comes it be
participated in by American troops as
largely as possible. The effect upon
the Russian people of seeing Ameri-
cans, their we'll known friends, in the
front of the army of relief from Ger
man absorption and oppression would
be most salutary. They would re-
ceive it more cordially and cooperate
with it more fully. Yet it is not
practicable to send large American
army across the Pacific. A division or
two would probably be the limit Of
practicability.
The bulk of such an army of inter-
vention must be composed of Japan
csc and Chinese troops, of whom per-
maps milH0n coul0 De sent lntO cl-
IBERIA and thus into Russia proper.
American troops may also be sent to
Archangle, to strengthen the small
allied force there against the German
lied army of Finland, which is show
ing signs of hostility. But other aid
than soldiers must be sent to Russia.
She must be helped to her feet finan-
cially and industrially. This will be
the special task of the United States,
whose loans to~the various Allies have
reached the great total of $1,000, 000,-
600, sum hitherto inconceivable as
a credit from single nation to other
nations. Russia must be made safe
for democracy for her own good and
for the good Of the entire world.-St.
Louis Star.

abled to dispose of this years crop,
while brewers could make use of their

committee later, was reported to the

stitute for the Norris amendment. Ii

PARIS PAPERS LAUD
WILSON'S JULY 4 SPEECH

Paris, July 5.-President Wilson
independence Day address at Mount
Vernon is printed with great promi-
hence by all newspapers. Some of
them single out special phrases to dis
play as slogan in the heaviest type
at the top of the front page. The
space devoted to recording the cele-
brations in France, England and
America, averaging 10 to IL columns,
obliges most of the editorial writers
to postpone until tomorrow comment
on the speech.
In it's comment The Petit Parisien
says:
an soulful phrases President Will
son portrays the deep meaning of the
anniversary which France celebrated
yesterday with all the allies of the
great American nation. The noble
spirit who guides the destinies of the
mighty transatlantic Republic disre.
CARDS details. He dominates as from
a height every situation, some times
even the most obscure and most trag-
ic, and sees only the broad aspect with
comfort and calm"
Of the other newspapers that COM
ment upon the address, L'Oeuvre lays
stress upon the Presidents reference
to Russia, which nation, it declares
the Entente will not forsake. In Hu
mantle Marcel Scmbot praises the
speech highly as an appeal to democ-
racy and declaration that the peace
of the world must no longer be left at
the mercy of arbitrary Powers. The
Libre Parole remarks that President
Wilson replied "to the insolent provo
cation of the Kaiser in language which
will move all generous souls"
Yesterdays Fourth of July celebra-
ton finds an echo in the press. The
Petit Parisien asked several noted per-
sonages for their impressions of the
event and today prints their replies.
y "A wonderful day for both coun-
tries" was Ambassador Sharp's conf
ment. ut will have wide repercus-
sion in the United Stateo."
Marshal Joffrc declared that July 4
would hereafter "be an unforgettable
date, opening a new era in history"
Rene Viviani, former Premier, in his
reply, said:
awe can truly feel that soldiers Vt
both nations are brothers in arms.
The two democracies are liked by the
deepest feelings of regard and friend

There are large stocks of manufac-
tured clothing and cloth on hand ade-
quate for, essential civilian needs, but
wooden suits will not be cheap or plen-
tiful during the coming winter sea-
son.
Wool stocks from abroad to supple
ment the domestic supply is restricted
by shipping conditions. The Ship
ping Board states the movement of
Argentine wool will be heavier the
coming year than in any preceding
year. But large portion of the raw
wool stock in this country and stock to
be produced or imported to January,
1920, will be needed for military uses.
The war service committee of the
National Association of Wooden Man
ufacturers and the American Asso-
ciation of Wooden and Worsted Manu-
facturers conferred with the War In
dustries Board and representatives
from the Shipping Board, War Trade
Board, and Army and Navy over diff
ficulties in the wool supply situation.
The policy of the War Industries
Board is to regulate prices and dis
tribution when a scarcity arises due
to Government demands.
Every hour is valuable in farm

can principles and America.
The Department of Labor reports
adjustment of 80 industrial disputes
during a recent week. This is rec
ord. Eleven strikes and two threat
ened strikes were adjusted. Included
in the strikes settled was that of ma
chinists at the Curtiss Aeroplane Co.
plant, Buffalo, where 300 men quit
and $4,000 were affected indirectly.
Nearly 100000 girls and boys
have volunteered for the United States

ment entails pledge on the part of
the child TO use efforts to increase
food production by cultivating one or
more crops under a garden supervisor
or teacher chosen for this work and
to make such reports as may be re-
quired.
