JEFF SAYS HE LOOKS
LIKE A TOM & JERRY.

City of Little Grant, Jan. 81, 1919
Mr.. Herald Mani do most solemn
ly swear never to attempt to write
again, after the stuff that was thrown
at me for my recent dream. My
front yard is completely Uttered with
pieces of bricks, sticks and big rocks
too. 1t is next to impossible to step
outside the house, or down around the
barn without someone bouncing a
rock at my venerable dome.
And that is not the worst Of it. You
have probably heard the old saying
Don't count your chickens before
they are Matched" Now I say, don't
throw your chickens before they are
Matched. Talk of the price of eggs
what are they worth on the back OF
my coat? Who is going to lead the
choir at church next Sunday? They
will have to go without singing, that's
all, for | won't go out looking like a
Tom & Jerry.
| went to town the other day and
spied Frank Morrow looking for me
with sure-enough gun. I saw him
but he didn't see me- | wasn't scared
any, because I have been hunting with
him and know he can't hit to hurt.
| would rather have him shoot t me
with buckshot than to have my wife
throw fiatirons at me the same dis
lance.
But let them go on with their abuse
pile it on my gentle frame. They
can't harm a Christian, which is me
Mutt and Jeff went down the line
to get Potosi water; jeff woke up at
10 next day, while Mutt came out
soon after.
Yours for silence jeff.

Soy Beans for SiIage.
BY W. L. Bible, Lime Ridge.

ny W. II. DlDlG,
AS l travel over Sank county |
can't help but notice the scarcity of
Soy Beans. Every farmer that has
silo and fills it with corn, should
plant soy beans. The beans can be
planted right with the corn, about
one peck to the acre. The southern
varieties are best for silage, as they
do not ripen in the northern climate,
therefore all the foliage can be har-
vested with the corn without loss.
The corn binder will handle both
corn and beans with ease. The yield
of corn is just as good with the beans
as it is without them, so you get the
beans clear profit The best results
in planting are obtained by hand
planters, but they can be mixed right
with the corn by keeping the seed
thoroughly stirred up so the beans
will not go to the bottom and be
planted first
Another advantage is, the beans
cover the ground and help to keep it
moist and keep the weeds down. My
idea of perfect planting is in drills,
one man go ahead with the corn
planter and another follow directly
behind and plant the beans between
the corn hills, in that way the hills
are about one foot apart and cover
the ground better. Plant three or
four kernels of corn and three or
four beans.
This makes the very finest kind of
silage. Last year | planted the corn
alone; this year the corn and beans
on the same ground. | gained, by the
addition of beans, a third more ton
mage and better quality of silage
Just try one bushel of the Medium
Yellow" in four acres of corn this
year and see for yourself. You viii
never plant without them again. The
bean seed must surely be inoculated
The culture can be gotten from tn,
university at Madison for 25 cents
per bushel of seed.

Revd. L. St. Clair Rraithwaite who, at

In extending our warn congratulations

ministratOr O. H. S~chmiegeloW an fami-

native of Denmark and has been honor
ed with the Knight of Dannebrog Cross,
one of the most distinguished national
decorations of the Danish monarchy, has
.pent over 40 years of his life in St. Croix
and it is very natural when we say he will
be missedi in the community where his best
days have been employed in active con-
nectiOn with the people, he having been
nearly all this long period in control OF
large business interests for his own and
for account of the Plantation Company
Ltd, a Danish corporation whose efforts
to better co ditiOnS III the three islands
have been ably conducted by Mr..
S~chmiegelow as Administrator of the con-
Germ, and through whose enterprising
and capable management is due any sue

ments. In bidding him goodbye, we de-
sire to offer himself and family many
good wishes for their safe arrival to the
old homeland where it is trusted that
many years of happiness await them.

section of Kings Street which, like Com

tripping. The pounding down of these

to recent bulletin issued by the Chidren's bureau
Scotland has for several years past granted schol
arships Tor bursaries) from the public funds. Eng
land, too is recommending this method of providing
for the better education of her young.
In this country, up to now, scholarship funds
have been made up of private contributions, pri-
vately administered. Already good many COM
munities have begun to realize the importance Of
salvaging the local talent that might otherwise be
OF educational opportunity.
Results obtained in cities where the scholarship
plan has been tried out proves that the saving Of
this potential child power constitutes a community
investment that steadily increases in value as the
child grows up and becomes trained and efficient
worker.
Comparison of the wages of 81 children who had
quit school at the age of IA years go with
the wages of equal number of children who
through scholarships enabled to stay in school
for two years longer shows that after three years
of wage earning, the average wage of child who
remained in school until he 16 two and one
third times that of the child left school at
the age of a.
The children's bureau advises that any commun-
ity wishing to inaugurate scholarship should begin
by appointing committee representing schools,
women's clubs, employers social workers. and others
mttees would be: to raise money for scholarships
to, administer the scholarship funds, and to hold
meetings to interest people in scholarship work

What a chubby time we had of it.
l got a trifle wrong at the start on
account of my sociable nature. You

farewell reception given by the Of
ficers and the c. P. O.'s to the men
departing after their twenty-one
days in probation, so the first
thing l did when l went in was to
shake hands with an ensign, who

rid of my hand with the same
briskness that one removes a live
coal from ones person. The whole
proceeding struck me as being a
sort of charity bazaar. People>were
wandering around from booth to
booth, in pleasant, sociabIe
manner, passing a word here and
sitting down there in the easiest
going way imaginable. Leaving the
ensign rather abruptly, I attached
myself to the throng and started
in search of ice cream and cake.
This brought me up at a table
where there was a very pleasant
looking c. P. o. holding sway, and
with him l thought l would hold
few words. What was my horror
on hearing him snap out in a very
crusty manner:
How often do you change your
socks?"
This is a question I allow no man
to ask me. 1t is particularly OBJ
jectionable. "Why, SIR" l replied.
don't you think you are slightly
overstepping the bounds of good
taste? One does not even jest about
such totally personal matters, We
know" Then rising, l was about
to walk away without even waiting
for his reply, but he called me back
and handed me my paper, on which
he had written Impossible" and
underlines it.

Discouraging BoISheViSrn.

Iynching of Dr. Iiebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg
by Berlin mobs most likely will have salutary Ell
feet in checking the Bolshevist movement in Ger
many Such demonstrations of brute force impress
the Teuton mind.
In the United States the situation is different Vio-
lence against extreme radical leaders might easily
result to the disadvantage of popular govern
ment here for it would be to make the victims
martyrs in the eyes of many. Bolshevism may be
stamped out in Germany, but never in this country
About all can do here is to pull its spurs and let
it wear itself out beating against empty air.
So long as the war was on vigorous prosecution
of those who tried to defeat purposes proper
and necessary. Nor need we be too prompt in for
giving those who proved to be enemies within our
own borders. Most of them chose deliberately and
with full knowledge of the penalties. They deserve
no special sympathy now and particular indul-
gence in their efforts to justify their past acts
Now that the danger from enemies without is
past however we may safely be more liberal in
the matter of free speech, without which no real
democracy can exist in time of peace The espionage
act should be repealed amended that it will not
operate to interfere with frank discussion of polit;
cal questions
The good sense of the nation is its best protec-
ton against this thing we call Bolshevism. Tha:
good sense must be relied upon to prevent such VIC
Ience as took place in Berlin, even in the face of
extreme provocation 1t must also guard us from
still greater danger in failing to make fair and
Just classification If neglect to discourage ultra
conservatism efforts it will make to discredit
real reform by sweeping denunciation bolshevis-
tic, shall make grave error. The inevitable
ultimate result will be to confuse the public and to
give real Bolshevism a standing which it does not
deserve and which it could not otherwise get.
It is conceivable that American sanity may be
put to a severe test, but with the experience OF
Europa before US we are fully warned and may face
the future with entire confidence
