What Secretary Daniels says
concerning the work of the Red
Triangle for the A. E. F. over
seas. "Only those who were
brought in inti.' ate contact
with it, and could survey the
zelda able to appreciate full
lv the great extent and value Of
the Y. M. G. AS work for our
soldiers and sailors. In camps
and training stations, at home
and abroad, at the fighting
front, on transport and at hav-
al bases, it cheered and aided
our fighting forces. The men
of the Red Triangle followed
the flag wherever it went, and
we're there to serve and COM
fort our brave boys" They
proved their heroism and devo-
tion on the battle front" The
following casualties will prove

Awarded war medals 140, cit

Pres. Taft said in behalf of the
Y. M. c. A., "To these young
men who have come back and
have critised and tried to hurt
the old Y. M. G. A., I know
what an enormous work the
Association has done, | saw
what the other welfare organi-
cations were doing and the
good they did, but when that
good was compared with the
enormous task of the Y. M. c.
A. had on it's hands to do, it is
really trying to one who real
ICES and knows the value of the
Y. M. G. A. When you COM
pare the amount of work done
by the other organizations
with that done by the Y. M. c.
A., and the amount of work
done before these other socie-
ties began, you realize how
great is the country's debt to
the Y. M. G. A."

position taken by the president on participat tion in purely European af- fairs. This issue is whether. with reservations protecting our position. we should join the moral forces of the world to reduce the dangers again growing around us or whether we will, by pretense of an insu1arlty that we do not possess, sit by in the fact of growing armies, naNics, n2- tional antagonisn1s, reaction or, III reverse, the spread of bolshevism, through much of the world. This would be the defeat of the hopes for which our sons were sacrificed in this war.
 Entirely aside from this moral ideaiism of the league and the dan ger of our own ultimate peace, the solution of our domestic problems. such as the size of our armament, reduction in taxation and the preVcn- ton of agricultural and industrial depression and consequent unem- ployment. is dependent upon stabil- ity abroad and upon our access to the worlds markets which today are endangered by discrimination agalnst us through our ina ability to exercise our veto under the treaty. l believe it is the transcendent service which the repuDllCln party tdI lSiiSNi '" the nation to settle d league cftl- ciently designed to give us these national projections.
 Platform Must Be Liberal.
 No one should be able to dictate the policies of great parties. yet every man and woman has a right to de- eide what issues and measures he will support. If the republican party, with the independent element of which ] am naturally affiliated, adopts a forward looking, liberal, constructive platform on the treaty and on our economic issues and II the party proposes measures TOT sound business administration or the country and is neither reactionary nor radical in its approach to our great domestic questions and IS backed by men who undoubtedly as sure the consummation of these pol icies and measures, I will give 1t my entire support.

NO REAL COMMUNE.
Trouble in Ruhr Valley Not As Bad As Relieved.

Paris, March 30.-Information re- ceived by the foreign office today from both French and English sources is in agreement that no real commNnist movement exists in the Ruhr valley. The prime demand of the workinsmen, it is declared. is q guarantee against the return of mili- tarism, which is exactly what the French government demands. a for eign office. it is held, would run eX- actly counter to that end and would be likely to put stop entirely to the already diminished coal shipments to France from the production of the Ruhr region under the peace treaty.
 No further representations have been made by France on the subject so far as can be learned but revival of the question is considered not un- likely in reply to President Wilson's communication stating he had nc objection to German regulars enter ing Ruhr valley.
 There were indications today that the French authorities had not yet given up the idea of eventual occupa- tion of tn Ruhr district by the Allies

THERE THEY STAND.

The high cost of machinery and farm I'M
elements does not seem to have made much
impression in the south. In certain sections,
says Georgia exchange, the most expensive
and valuable farm machinery has been left
out in the open during the winter.
"There they stand" says this exchange

chimes, wagons, sometimes automobiles, rust

comparatively small outlay could build pro-
tecting saving implement sheds over them. >
Some farmers will not spend labor or
money to protect the implements which save
them money and labor. These men are in
the minority among the farmers of America,
and it is noticeable fact that the farm
women do not leave their sewing machines

dreds of thousands of farmers who take

AN ANOMALY OF NATURE.

Plants in their breathing process take in
carbon dioxide and carbonic acid gas and
give out oxygen Animals breathe in oxy-
gen and give out carbonic acid gas. Both
elements, though in unequal quantities, ex-
list in the air The desire of nature in de-
veloping this counterbalance of breathing
gases between the vegetable and animal
kingdoms was to make one the supporter of
the other.
Plants breathe only during the leafing
season They take no carbonic acid gas
from the air and give out no oxygen
when dormant In the warmer regions
where plant life remains active during the
whole year in many species, and where some
mart of the vegetable kingdom is always in
leaf. the amount of carbon dioxide given
out is greater than in the colder regions,
where plant life is dormant for several
months each year.
Oxygen is the element which sustains
animal life. 1t is the larger portion of fresh
air 1t is the substance used in the pulmotor.
1t is what makes the body culver with life
and vitality. There ought to be more of 1t
in the atmosphere in the warmer climates
than in the cooler ones. There ought to be
less carbon dioxide in the same atmosphere
because the plants are taking it out of the
air and replacing it with oxygen. There
fore. man ought to be more energetic, more
aggressive, more ambitious more able to en-
dure while living in warm climate thar
while living in a colder one. The anomaly
of nature is that exactly the reverse is true
Man is less active, less energetic and less in
dustrious in the tropical and subtropica
zones than elsewhere on the earth.

How Long Should We Think
Before We Spend?
From Bindery Talk.

At least long enough to make sure that
we get real value for our money and the time
it took us to earn that money.
For example. If it took us ten minutes or
an hour or a week or a month of good hard
work to earn that money are we getting
something that is worth working for that
long or hard to get?
VIII what we buy give us fair return in
comfort, health, advancement, satisfaction
or recreation?
In other words are we getting our times
worth as we'll as our moneys worth-for
money after all is simply counter for time
and effort.
How about giving at least ten per cent as
much thought to spending as it takes to
earn?
If it takes us ten minutes at desk or lathe
to earn a dime we surely ought to be willing
to give one minute of solid thought to its
spending. A whole days wages are worth
at least three quarters of an hour of con-
federation.
A whole months income merits at least
time enough to make a family budget
which is just a plan to make sure that we
get the most of our wages or salaries
Really wise spenders think more than ten
per cent. Their savings and possessions
pay them mighty big wages for every mir
ute spent in such thought.

Collector Blalock's Gourd


We cherish vivid and pleasant memories
of the days of yore when it was customary
for the successful farmer and substantial
citizen and eXemplar to dig his well near the
roadside for the convenience of the passer-
by. on the curb of which was invariably hang
ing in a conspicuous place drinking gourd,
which was also in general use on the front
porch where the drinking water was kept,
and in the kitchen of the home.
Those were the good old days when men
of the old school considered their word their
bond-the days when men that used gourds
to drink out of considered 5 miles an hour
good time for his buggy horse to make when
going to town, 10 or more miles away, on
Saturday, and to church, 5 or more miles
away, once month, on Sunday. A good
buggy horse, therefore, knew he was eX-
pected to trot on level hard road and down
hill, and that he was privileged to walk
through sand beds and up hill.
But times have changed. Motor power
has displaced the highheaded, proud steed
that was once the pride of its worthy master
who gave preference to the gourd as drink
ing cup and we long ago concluded that, in
keeping with the times, the gourd had been
tabooed by all the staid old-timers for the
thin glass that meets the fancy of the more
fastidious of the present age.
1t appears that our conclusion was too
hastily drawn. Only recently we were
agreeably surprised to have brought to our
notice a case where the drinking gourd has
kept pace with the income tax collector, and
the most critical will admit he is keeping
step with progress, and that the "most fas-
tidious" will welcome the day when his re-
trogration to the good old days set in.
Collector A. o. Blalock is a gentleman
of the old school When he assumed office
he took his gourd with him-not as an or
nament or heirloom, but for his personal
use. We are pleased that the gourd of our
boyhood days has kept pace with the most
progressive federal officer of our state

MENTAL MURDER.

A case will be tried shortly in the courts
of Kentucky in which man will be charged
with murder, though he never committed
physical injury on his victim He is indict-
ed and will be tried for mental murder
Robert Morehead, a prominent farmer liv-
ing near Morgansfeld KY, committed sui
eide through fear of Erastus Milestead, a
paroled convict from the Ohio penitentiary
Milestead posed as a federal detective, and
told his victim that he had come to arrest
him on felony charge. Rather than have
his family suffer the disgrace of his arrest
he committed suicide. The Indictment and
arrest of Milestead on the peculiar murder
charge followed
The case is unique in that it is the first of
its kind in the history of American criminal
jurisprudence. The trial of the case, even
if no conviction is secured, will have many
new aspects, and will be filled with new ap-
plcations of the principles of the law of
homicide. In olden times, when trial by
jury was in its infancy, it was necessary
for the crown, which in this country be-
comes the state to produce the instrument
by which death was produced and to prove
that death came from the use of that specific
instrument. 1t is now incumbent upon the
state to prove a corpus deficit, but it is no
longer essential to conviction that the par
ticular instrument by which death was pro-
duced be established. If the acts of the &C
cused man in the case under consideration
can be shown to have caused the death,
though they produce no physical injuries suf-
ficient to destroy life, he would be guilty of
precedent in criminal prosecutions would be
no greater than the abandonment of the
one which once required the instrument
which caused death to be produced. Prim-
tive jurisprudence had no technicalities. If
the instrument was produced the jury would
be able to Judge whether the wounds which
resulted in death were caused by it. Posses
sion of the instrument or access by the &C
cused prior to the commission of the crime
were elements which went to establish his
guilt, Just as such circumstances now tie the
act and the accused together
The difficulty in the Kentucky case is to
prove that the acts of the accused were re-
sponsible for the death of the victim. The
accused lied about his authority, and about
the crime against the other man. But to
bridge the gap between the lie and the al
legged effects of the lie so to prove that
the accused compelled the former to commit
suicide is a difficult undertaking. Enforced
suicide by physical means is murder on the

THE TOWN PRODUCER.

One of the complaints of the times is that
the farmers are not producing enough, that
if they would produce more the prices would
tend downward and thereby benefit the
BUYERS. 1t appears to be true-the assertion
of under production, in spite of the ex-
pensive machinery which is being taken to
the farms to tighten the labor and increase
the volume of crops. Under the circum-
stances the town man can and should play
a part He should raise a good garden.
Plenty of vegetables go far in supplying the
table with cheap and wholesome food. No
man should esteem himself above tolllng
with hoe; it is better athletics than any
college offers, for it has definite object
and is strictly in harmony with scripture and
common sense To pillow is to pray and to
hoe is to ask blessing; better, it confers
a blessing. So, Mr.. Town Man, do not
scorn or overlook the garden
Do your part to bring back normal and
happy conditions.
