sor should make encouraging sug- gestions of value to the men about to take up camp life, suggestions that the board members can best make after they have spent day or two at one of the national army cantonments. During the period of waiting for in- duction, selectives are to be called to- gether in groups, at which meetings the members of the boards will explain the details of the war risk insurance act and make clear all the provisions for dependents in event of death or incapacity.
 The instruction boards will conduct free and open discussions among the selectives upon Americas reasons for entering the war, the necessity for winning it, the character of good soldier, patriotic duties of sexual re- straint, abstinence from intoxicants. and other questions. Free discus sion of these subjects develops the principles of American democracy, says the war department. Local boards are also advised to procure the services Of men in their communities who understand military drill and will be able to give instruction in the pre- liminaries of etiquette. customs of the service and military discipline. The instruction boards will also urge upon selectives the advisability of joining state guard units or other organiza- tions furnishing some military train | ing before their departure for camp.

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

The hens in the contest at Storrs seem to be gradually dropping off little each week, but this must be ex- also from now on because of the fact that some of the poor producing hens want to mott at this season of the year. The manager of the egg lay
 ing contest reports that many of the Leghorns and few other breeds have started in molting. This is most prev alent with the pens that have been poor producers during the past thir- ty-six weeks. AS a rule hens do not lay and mott at the same time. The trap nest records have demonstrated that the late layers and the late molt- CTS are the ones that also began to lay frs the previous autumn. There fore the hens that lay late into the autumn lay the most eggs during their bullet year. On the other hand, the early. quitter is the poorest layer and the poorest breeder, ....
 In the thirty-sixth week of the con- test at Sterrs the hens produced a to- tai of 3,794 eggs or yield of SAP per cent. This is a drop of 70 eggs as compared with the previous week s production. Pen 5S of the Oregon Az ricuitural College won first place for the week with a yield of 660 eggs; pen 87 of Oak Hill Estate, Uniontown, Pa. won second place with a yield of 5s eggs; and pen e6s of Hollywood Farm, Hollywood. Wash, was third with a total of 57 eggs. Fourth honors go to pen 7S belonging to E. A, Ballard, Chestnut Hill, Pa, and pen ss belong ing to c. s.

 War revenue problems have been solved by the Administration through the enactment of equitable tax laws which place the burden of financing the war upon those best able to pay. The program includes income tax in creases, an inheritance tax and a spe-

WILL TEACH NEW SOLDIERS CAUSES
 OF THE BIG WAR
War Department Plans In
 struction of Men Selected < for Service Abroad.

The American soldier isn't a com plStely efficient fighting unit until he is fully informed upon the causes of the war and thoroughly in accord with the democratic principles that forced the United States to take a stand against the forces of retrogression as revealed in the present German gov ernment. The war department has recognized the moral and mental re- quirements of soldering in a practi- cal way, and local draft boards throughout the country are being in formed today that boards of instruc- 'tion" are to be appointed Ito put the selective-service men into camp will ing, loyal, intelligent, clean and so- Der, and thus to fit them better for rapid progress in becoming good sol diers."
 Tn It's preliminary instructions to To- cal boards the war department recog- nizes the loyalty and resolution of most of the men who have already gone to camp, but it adds that there are many who are neither willing, nor loyal, nor fit in the proper de- gree" Furthermore, the instructions continue, men improve physically when they are in sound moral and mental condition upon their arrival at camp. ITO send contingent of men who have been put into fit condition mentally and morally Is to gain at least month, and often more, in time for the readiness of the division to leave for the battlefield of human freedam.''
 The general plan of operation will be the use of boards of instruction to be appointed by the present selec- tive service boards. The boards are instructed to appoint men with ref erence to their local standing and rep. utation, their ardor to win the war and their ability to analyze young mems difficulties and to inspire them tO a patriotic desire to serve." Wher- ever possible organizations like coun- cils of defense, which have already done much in this work are to be rec ognized and given official standing by the draft boards. All appointees must ! be in thorough accord with the. wal departments plan and ready to dc their utmost towards preparing the selectives for efficient and enthusias- tic service.
 The local instruction boards vii first meet the selected men at the time of the medical examination when it is very important that the men be assur- ed that the board is friendly to them In these personal interviews the advi

IF GERMANY SHOULD WIN.

Contributed by Robert W. Cham bers to the National Security Leagues campaign of Patriotism Through Ed ucation.)
 If Germany should win, the vul- garization of this planet would begin; ferocity. stupidity, vulgarity are the three Teutonic characteristics.
 The latter includes such specific tendencies as lying, purpose1ess de- struction, perversion, spiritual degen- eracy, instictinve brutality.
 Within the last quarter of a century the German virus has infected and poisoned not only the political and social conscience of the world but also the very source of it's inspiration, the expression of its belief, ideals, aspira- tions; and it has done this by vulgar izing art.
 For that stupid but harmless thing which once passed for art among the Huns has become incredibly debased, | perverted, meaningless, bestial. Like something rotting it has taint- ed the world atmosphere of art. It is | filthy, sinister, brutal. But 1t is the l natural expression of the barbarous people who are responsible for it; it naively reveals Germany and the Ger mans through their modern literature, l architecture, sculpture and painting especially through their modern music.
 Vulgar, vicious, prurient, abomina- | ble, utterly and damnably contempt 1 ble-Germany and the Germans, as revealed, explained, analysed out of | their own swinish mouths.
 Is this the culture that the civilized world is awaiting-the degenerate, demented religion of the anti-Christ :? Oh yes, with it will come all the known horrors of the Hun triumph ant, wallowing to his jowls in the bloody pit which was Europe, mem acing America every hour and pre- pairing for her physical conquest.
 This goes without saying.
 But does civilization realize that the Kings Evil has become the Ger man Evil, and it is this grewsome disease that also threatens the world. And that 1t is called German Art: which is merely and simply the self exposure of the German beast and of the crippled thing within him which he calls his soul?

LEAGUE DEFENDS
 CANINE TENDS

London, Feb. 15-Protest meetings against what was described as semi starvation of the dogs of the country by the -s government were decided upon recently at the annual meeting of the National Canine Defence League in London. This action came after announcement that the biscuit available for dogs amounted to half an ounce day for each dog.
 The food ration for dogs in Great Britain has been reduced materially recently.
 Mrs. Carlo Clark said that the league members must show the gov- ernment that the men and women of England meant to reserve their dogs and that with them, "dogs mean votes"

Even partisan critics admit that the Democratic Party is constructive and capable of mastering the great eco homie problems of a world war. Why? Because they cannot escape these unprecedented achievements of g. Democratic President and Dem ocratic Congress-:
 The Federal Reserve Law, conceiv- ed and executed before Germany set the universe on fire, enabled America not only to face the greatest conflict in all history without a tremor, but las placed the country upon sound and stable basis; has emancipated in i dustrial and commercial interests from domination by special interests; | freed the nation from the danger of financial panics and made possible the wonderful existing prosperity. ! The Farm Loan Act, passed as an economic measure before the United States was a belligerent, has given to farmers at reasonable rates of inter- est the means for raising necessary crops, needed to feed our Army and Navy and civilian population and the peoples of our Allies. The operation of the system has had the effect of realizing a reduction of at least one per cent. in the average rate of in- terest on farm loans.
 Government Control of Railroads has eliminated obstructive competi- tion which previously hampered pri- vately operated carriers and has 1 speeded up production of war essen I 11, .1 public, the railroad employees and the stockholders all have derived bene. fits from this progressive step The public gained through the eradica- tion of cut-throat methods; the em- ployees gained through increased wa. ges and fair working hours, and the stockholder gained by a guaranteed return on his investment.
