OUR STRICKEN CHIEF.

In Washington our chief-the ma
tion's chief and head-lies stricken
stricken because of excessive. la
Dor done in behalf of his people
the whole people of America.
And his physical breakdown mas
the whole Of this great nation-one
for the nations good.
This breakdown comes because
the excessive labor which brought it
on was felt to be necessary by Presi-
dent Wilson in this worlds crisis.
For that matter for the past ten
years he has been burdened by
great, responsibilities and cares
first as a reform governor OF New
Jersey, then as peace president, then
as war president, then as the cen
trail and outstanding figure in the
peace conference, he has been over
whelmed with enormous duties and
been a leader in tremendous con-
tests. The successful termination of
the. peace conference instead of les
SEEMING his labors made them, if
home, his constitution none too ro-
bust, weakened by an attack of
influenza, to face the necessity of a
gigantic effort to secure ratifi-
cation of the treaty by his own
country. And that effort he was OBJ
liged to undertake at time when
domestic problems of the most ser
ton and service. 1t is four years
since he has had vacation. He has
had not a days surcease from toll
and worry from strenuous warfare
on the great battlefield of duty, OF
conflicting ideas and ideals.
1t must be born in mind that in
December the President will be 63,
nd p1 f1n
the duties of the twenty months Of
his term yet remaining will be just
as eXacting for they are duties on
the successful discharge of which
the happiness, orderly stability and
prosperity not alone Of his own
country but Of all the world largely
depend; He is, without the question
for. peace, for democracy, for law
and order, for rational and conserv-
ative progressiveness, among all
men now living ne stands as a
mighty bulwark Of the common peo-
pie OF the world against the tides of
red radicalsm and the backwash of
militarism, and reaction. He has
given, and stands prepared still to
give, all that he has, even, his health,
even life itself, to the noble ideals
Of peace and democracy to which
he has dedicated himself AS he lies
stricken and as the lull in the storm
his illness creates clear away for the
| moment the mists OF rancor that
have gathered about his head, his
countrymen will be impelled to a
sober realization of how devotedly
and magnificently he has served
them, and how much depends upon
him in the near future. They will
join in the fervent wish for early
and complete restoration of his
physical well being. Perhaps they
may join, too, in the further wish
that during the remainder of his
term as president of the United
States he may be spared in some
measure, be it ever so little. from
the tempests of violent criticism and
fault-finding, some of it cruel, some
OF it .thoughtless, which have added
so grievously to his heavy burdens.
Woodrow Wilson is a public SER

views and all parties should seek

spare him now.-St Joe Observer.

The National Army has been
wholly demoblized and the men are
now back at home and most of them
are at work. The Government is
still showing interest in them, and
if the Republican Congress would
only help in the task, no man who
served his country would have cause
to complain of it's indifference.

Representatives of labor and
those of capital have accepted the
Presidents invitation to confer in
Washington early in October. Many

great even if it falls short of the
highest expectations.

 c. G. Milliken of Union Grove has the right idea of farming in Polk county. He is not only diversifying in crops, but is engaging quite ex- tensively in stock raising, specializing in both cattle and horses. He sowed a large area in oats, seeding with them orchard grass for both fall and winter pasture. Farmers must get away from the idea that sprout patch is pasture. We must seed down to tame grasses to keep the sprouts out

BIG FORK BITS.

Indictment weather prevented the program to have been rendered by the community club at the school house. The organization has not yet been perfected.
 At a recent meeting of the school board Prof. R. l.. Thompson was enl- ployed as one of the teachers for the coming term. The school building will have a new roof before the open ing of the term in July.

 J. M. Beck of Ali has put out 600 potato slips and expects to put out three thousand this season. Mir. Beck raised sixty bushels last year despite the dry weather. In addition to fur nishing plenty for the table he was enabled to get out the maximum of slips this year on account of having plenty of homegrown seed.
 The recent rain has almost held up the farm work for some time and we are not betraying a military secret when we state that the farmers corn shock division will go over the top this week. Cotton. tho backward, is ready for the first cultivation. Wheat is getting ripe and will be harvested this and next week Wheat has been injured by rust and the yield will be lighter than last year while oats will go above the normal yield. The larg- est yield of Irish potatoes in years will be made this year and many farmers are planning a second crop. Owing to the scarcity of pea seed. those who were fortunate in securing soy beans will plant their oats and wheat stubble in beans. Tho the huckleberry crop is below normal, picking and canning is well under way.

RECITAL AT HATFIELD.
Program of Musical Numbers Shows
 Talent of Pupils.

The recital given by the pupils both in voice and music (instrumental and vocal) of Miss Willie May Parker, at the Hatfield High school auditorium, was most enjoyable and satisfactory entertainment from every standpoint. Owing to the weather the crowd was not as large as it otherwise would have been. However, the house was comfortably filled and tho the pro- gram held many numbers, the interest of the audience never Jagged. Each and every one deserves especial men, tion and but for limited space would be glad to give it, commencing with the opening chorus of 26 voices, in the club song of "M-E-D-R-l-G-A-L," /" and on down thru the program that rave toward the close one-act drama, "Courtship Under Difficulties" that was full of wit and humor, followed by three-scene drama, "The Family Jar" that also teemed with fun and laughter, with a moral, at it's close. The very enjoyable evening closed with that old song (always young), "Love's Old Sweet Song" Miss Parker is to be congratulated not only on the very capable way her pupils carried off the honors, but on the fact that they are gifted otherwise all her efforts would have been in vain. Again not only the pupils, but Hat field at large is to be congratulated.
