YOUNG AMERICA PROVED
ITS CITIZENSHIP IN WAR

With the tremendous immediate
problems of war out of the way the
mind finds time and inclination for
stud yof many aspects of the conflict
that could not be carefully consider
ed by the average American while
the holocaust was still in progress.
What was the attitude of mind of the
American child toward the struggle?
is the question dealt with by a writ
err in the May number of the Red
Cross Magazine.
''To the glory of the American
teacher" this writer finds, "there was
very perceptable change change in
school conditions between the open
ing of the war and the time the
United States entered it. The broad
ening process, the changing view,
point, the expanding interest We're
already in evidence Rejecting the
very spirit of the American people
and American life, the wise teacher
had developed among her charges
higher ideals of fair play and honest
treatment which made them look as
kance at things that were happening.
AS the moral factors involved in the
war situation became more concrete,
they reached in various obvious ways
upon the school mind. The children
were reading the news; they were
hearing and engaging in discussion
they were even then casting off the
traditional moose. The child mind
was developing strength-a strength
that it's elders had never suspected.
1t was learning to walk alone.
1.-THE school unquestionably played
it's part, but in the main this deve-
lopment was the natural reaction of
the child to situations and events
which were constantly taking shape
before his eyes. That reaction came
about simply because the American
school child is at bottom a good,
wholesom fair-minded American citi-
zen. Let nobody mistake. The child
today is a citizen. / canot see any
dividing line between the time when
child is not citizen and when he
is and familiarity with the work and
thought of school children during this
war has confirmed me in this belief"

USING THE HARROW ON
ON CORN AND COTTON

A reader asks US to please explain
how a harrow can be run over lit
tie corn and cotton without tearing
it all up.
| take pleausre in saying that when
a farmer runs the smoothing harrow
over his little corn, cotton, cane, pea
nuts, sorghum, oats and other crops
for the first time, it really looks to
him as if it were tearing the plants
out of the ground; but the next day
practically all appearance of injury
has disappeared and he is delighted
with the cheap and most excellent
cultivation that he has given the crop.
Of course, an occasional plant is pull
ed up, but this is of no importance
when compared with the cheap cul-
tivation give nthe crop. The harrow
reduces necessary hoeing to the mini
mum and the little plants grow off
rapidly.
The more throuough the prepare
ton of the land before planting, the
less injury will lbe done to the crop.
Where you intend to use the harrow
after the crop comes up, be sure to
use it before planting the seed. Crops
planted on high beds will receive more
injury than plants on fiat beds. Use
the harrow across the beds before
planting the seed. Less injury will
be done if the harrow is run across
the rows, instead of lengthwise the
rows.
know just exactly what l am
talking about. l have run two sec
tons Of a peg-tooth section steel har-
row over cotton, corn, cane, peanuts
and sorghum. l would not advise
you to run harrow over little cot
ton and corn if l did not know that
it is safe.-G. H. A, in The Progress
sive Farmer.

One of the finest systems of rail-
ways is that between Philadelphia and
New York, known as part of the PEN
nsylvania Railway, and carrying four
tracks. The ground work is of the
very finest; and these four tracks
allow greatest freedom in train move
ment, and obviate danger of collision,
and they afford large amount rather
than a small amount of traffic. Than
this are few railway systems in the
world so comprehensive, so inclusive
and as standard as is the above.
Now, contrast this above system
with a single-track railway. Traffic
here is confined in amount; there is
continual danger of head-on collisions
and of splitting switches and running
into sidings; freedom of movement is
most circumscribed, and there is con-
tinual danger to passenger and to
freight. Traffic on the one track
line would be in within the very mar
rowest limits if it were not for an oc-
casional siding which in itself consti-
tutes delay and danger.
There is no more brain racking and
responsible position in the business
world than that of the train dispatch
er for a single-track railway, who sits
with his diagram and his observatory
time clock before him and his tele-
grapher'S instrument by his side. He
is under the pressure of giving con-
tinuous orders and is under contin-
uous fear that matters on his one
track line may go fatally wrong. How
often must he cry out in despair for
a two track or four-track system
Indeed the most radical need of
the country today is that of the one
track railway systems of this country
shall be transformed into double
track systems. Where the money is
to come from and how this is to be
done, no man knows. No one could
compute the continuous loss today
that obtains in the business world, be-
cause this country is honey combed
from confines to confines, not with
double-track and four-track systems,
but with one-track systems. How the
business of the country is to go for
ward and increase with our present
one-track system seems to be an i'm
possibility.
Strange to say, with this lesson of
the one-track system before us
strange to say, that it does seem,
however, as if the world, more than
ever before. is switching off in to one
track affairs. Never before were
there SO many cults, and all running
on single tracks and all, too, of mar
row gauge. The Bolshevists, the
Communists, the Socialists, the I. W.
VIZ and ALI manner of uni0nized
bands are dividing and splitting the
world up into bits, and each one is
propounding its own theories for the
salvation of the world. 1t is indeed
a day of : sinsle-track cranks and
single-track isnns.
The creeds Of these cults are, in

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Presi-

Washington on June "a or 25, if the
Germans sign the peace treaty. I'M
mediately after his arrival in Wash
ington, the President will address
Congress. After clearing up press
ing official business he will start on
his Swing around the circle early
in July. 1t was said at the White
House to-day that the President ex-
pected to spend three weeks on his
speaking tour, explaining the peace
treaty and the League of Nations
covenant.
The President has made known a
desire that his audiences during his
tour be composed largely Of oppo-
nents Of the League of Nations plan,
rather than its supporters. He also
has Informed White House officials
that he might discuss the League
covenant in public addresses in the
course of his visit to Belgium this
week. Should he leave Paris a week
from tomorrow, the President
should arrive in Washington about
July 8. He will present the revised
draft of the peace treaty to the Sen
ate and will discuss the treaty and
League covenant in an address to a
joint session of the Senate and
House.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST CARELESS
THRESHERMEN.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The
Department of Agriculture has start
ed a campaign against the careless
thrashermen. 1t wants only "clean
straw ricks" left of the greatest
grain crop the nation ever has
known, according to a statement
made public recently. So the thrash
ermen will be aided by the govern
ment to develop efficiency and avoid
;oss in separating the wheat from
the chaff.
Records of the department reveal
startling losses Of grain Through
avoidable waste Of thrashermen."
Tests made IN lust ordinary" crop
years show an average of 25,00), 900
to 27,000,000 bushels is thus thrown
away What it will be this year, un-
less the waste is eliminated, the de-
partment believed. would be worth
much more than the campaign of
education would cost the govern
ment.
In Minnesota, where the depart
ment made comprehensive tests COW
ering $500 thrashing macrines last
year, it was found that more than
25 per cent. of machines wasted an
average of Is bushels of grain day
each. This loss, according to the
figures, was largely through ma.
chimes being out of repair or through
lack of adjustment. Some Mime
sofa thrashers wasted as much as Sc
bushels day in the thrashing sea.

Time was when the doctor made
his calls in a buggy. Life sometimes
hinged on the speed of the doctors
old gray mare. Then came the motor
car and even the remotest of the av-
erage physicians patients were with
in an hours drive. Now it is the
airplane that brings the man of
healing to the bedside of the ailing
and brings him quickly.
DR.. M. Dummitt, a physician at
Webb City, Mo-, uses an airplane to
make calls when speed Is absolutely
essential. DR.. Dummitt is an avia-
ton fan and virtually built a ma
chine of his own. He has a hangar
for it near Joplin, and Lieut.. Webber,
formerly of the army aviation SER
vice, drives it for the physician.
Recently DR.. Dummitt received a
hurry-up call from James Matthews,
farmer living eight miles south
east of Webb City. Fastening to his
hangar, the doctor and Lieut.. Weber
got out the machine and few to the
Matthews home in seven minutes.
He alighted in wheat field near the
Matthews home, giving some farmers
working in their, fields nearby quite
surprise. The doctor spent fifteen
minutes treating his patient, collect
ed SIS for his fee and then few
back to his hangar. The entire trip
consumed only thirty-one minutes,
less than it would have taken the
physician of twenty-five years ago to
drive out to the patients home.

pleasure, but says he intends max

IS LARGEST ELM IN u. S.
buffalo NeWS,).

(BunalO NoWS.l
The largest elm tree in the United
States is in Rathbone, near Marietta,
O., according to tree experts. 1t is
thirty-two feet in circumference and
is estimated to be from 500 to 700
years old. The tree has a spread of
165 feet and has five limbs branching
out from the main trunk as large as
ordinary trees.
Another famous tree in Ohio,
sycamore, was located about one mile
below Beverly, on the MuSkingum
River. Records collected by the de-
partment of forestry at the Ohio Elk
pertinent Station show that an early
Franch traveller made notes of the
tree, because of it's amazing size. His
record shows that in 1902 the tree
| was forty-seven feet in circumference
and that Gen. George Washington
1 had also made notes concerning the
tree in his early travels into what
was then known as the West. Dur
ing the latter part of the Nineteenth
century the tree became hollow to
such an extent that one could stand
inside the cavity and turn an eleven
foot rail around in it. The tree LOST
many of it's branches before it disap
peared beneath the waters of tht
Muskingum during the cave-in of the
bank in 1904.
Early records show that many 81
gantic walnut trees were in the for
est around that immense sycamore,
many of them were so large that
when lying ON the ground, they coui(
be chinned by a man. Much of thu
early fence between Beverly and Ma
rietta was constructed from walnu
rails which were made from thes'
trees.

WAR RISK INSURANCE BUREAUS
POSTAL SYSTEM

More than a ton of incoming mail
each day and nearly as much out
going mail has made it necessary for
the War Risk Insurance Bureau to
build up a postal system that is
larger than any other of its kind in
the United States. Eighty thousand
pieces of incoming mail each day are
the average for the bureau, of these
more than $4,000 being letters.
There are over $4,000 outgoing let
tiers each day. Mail is received every
half hour, day and night, and force
of employees is at work upon it
throughout every twenty-four hours,
including Sundays. Most of the en-
ployees who first read the letters re-
ceived are women, the majority be-
ing college graduates, highly trained
for this expert work in quickly stor-
ing the letters, so that they reach the
department for which they are in
tnded in the quickest possible time.
