Patriotism and Internationalism

f8trlOtlSm ana lnternatlOnallSr
To some people an anniversary
like July Fourth means little
They feel that their advanced
mentality has passed on to q
higher ideal than patriotism
They are internationalists. They
owe allegiance merely to the
brotherhood of man, not to the
mere artificial lines that divide
states and countries.
This is a tendency that rarely
produces practical usefulness.
The man who cares nothing for
the advancement of his home
community lis rarely one who
ever does anything for any wider
relation. And the man who works
hardest for his home town, can
be best depended upon for pat
riotic loyalty. The man who is
'disloyal and Indifferent to his
family is rarely loyal to the in
terests of humanity in any
broader sense. And so the man
who is Indifferent to the country
that has nurtured and protected
him and given him his chance in
life, is rarely loyal to any other
usful deal.
The man who is too broad to
work for his country, allows his
sentiment to fade away in a
mush of sentimentalism. One
must concentrate his attach
ments and his efforts and ener-
gies to some definite cause, in
order to have it amount to any
thing.
The man who denies any feel
ing Of loyalty to his country
shows a yellow ingratitude. His
country has given him the in
stitutons of liberty, the chance to
create his own career free from
the dictations of autocratic DOW
er. It his given him the free
education that in other lands
may be inaccessible. It has offer
ed him rewards to his ambition
i he will avail HIMSELF of oppor-
tunites.
Yet the Internationalist rccog-
nizes that these benefits corfer
no reciprocal obligation. He is
like the man who disregards all
the loving devotion of a tender
mother and wanders away into
the wide world Indifferent to her
.yearning affection.

Still it is foolish to say that
the man who keeps a standing ad
week after week is not getting

is a constant reminder that he is

The standing ad should be
watched to see that it does not
contain matter out of season. One
man known to the writer used
to wake up and put in a lawmow-
er ad about July 4. Then he would
leave it there until January.
Some one would call his atten-
ton to the fact that it was out
of date. Then he would put in an
ad for oil heaters, and leave it
until he again woke up to its in
appropriateness in July. Some of
the people who claim that adver-
tising doesn't pay run on about
that basis.

The Presidential Campaign

The issues upon which the
great presidential battle of 1920
will be fought are fast shaping
themselves. 1t will be a sonstant
Hateful with history in the maxi
ing. The United States faces a
new era, and new problems press
for solution.
The CONFUSION created by the
most trrific war that ever occur
red on this planet, has upset the
ideas and purposes of great popu-
lations. The United States feels
this volcanic upheavel less than
Europe. But it is impossible to
revolutionize Europe, and not
feel the rocking of the storm on
this side of the Atlantic. As the
whirlwind and the tempest stir
Europe to its depths, the inn
pulses of this storm must pro-
foundly affect American life.
Europe is rebuilding it's econ
omic and social system. Among
the Teutonic and Slavic peoples,
the reconstruction is complete
and entirely new social struc-
lures are being erected. In Eng
land, France and Italy, the chang
es are not as revolutionary but
they are going very deep.
AS fast as social experiments
are made in Europe, there will be
an insistent demand to have sim
liar changes attempted here. How
far will these demands be just.

and perilous? This is the great

Scientific Farming

Formely scientific agriculture
was supposed to be a theoretical
study taughy by a bunch of
specialized professors who did
most of their farming on paper.
No flaming of that type could
be called scientific. Scientific
means according to true know
ledge, and all knowledge is based
on auctual human experience,
Theories of agriculture that have
not been put to the test on
actual farms, under just such con
ditions as the average farmer has
to meet, are no good at all. This
is perfectly understood by the
agricultural experts, who al
most invariably are practical
men.
Scientific agricultural expert
ments should be carried out un-
der average conditions. An ex-
pertinent station farm should
never be a merely exhibition
farm. 1t should not be located on
some extra fertile tract, on which
crops are sure to prosper even
under adverse conditions. Il
should be placed on average soils
where just the same difficulties
will have to be met that the
average farmer has to confront.
And no doubt in most cases this
is done.
Most of the farmers around
Sisseton try the best they can to
apply the principles communi-
Gated by the scientists. They arc
greatly helped by the newspapers
which all favor scientific me-
thods and popularize them SO
far as possible.
The difficulty encountered by
the average farmer is simply that
he is so burdened by the cares
and labors of his calling, that he
hasn't time to study agricu-
tural science as he would like to.
The time will come when it will.
be considered as necessary for a
farmer to have the advantage in
youth to compete technical school
instruction in agricultural, as for
q lawyer to attend q law school.
That is no doubt impossible for
the present generation, which is
endeavoring to pick up the les
sons Of science as rapidly As pos
sible under existing difficulties.

President Belisario Porras has issued
a special order setting apart the audi

ing of the National Institute for a
period of five years or for so much of
this time as may be required for the

ever, looking TO the permanency of the
college, President Porras has issued the
official decree setting apart a parcel OF
land as a site for the erection of the
buildings that will be required in the
extension OF the work OF the college.
The property is admirably located for
the purpose indicated and is large
enough to provide ample grounds.
In the organization of tho board OF
