tcontrlhuted)

Tuttle, Monday OF last week
the sad nows spread throughout this
community that death had removed
from among us one OF the pioneers
OF this section. and the unexpected
ness OF the news only added TO the
sense OF loss which was felt by all.
After one weeks suffering from a
wounded knee. caused by the kick OF
a mule, John Il. Thomas died from
soptIcemla Monday. January gath,
1891 ut 7:l5 p. m, Just one week
previous, while attempting to keep
mule from killing calf, he re-
ceivod kick ON the leg and knee.
A small wound on the knee opened
the Joint and several small artery
and this became infected. Below the
other hoof had struck. At first II
knee large brulse showed whore the
was not considered serious, but as
days passed II was seen that blood
poisoning had developed. and all
efforts failed TO check it's RAPID
course.
In tho death OF Mr. Thomas this
community loses one OF its pioneers,
a man who during his life here has
made host of friends. II was uni
versally known OF him that his
word was as good as bis bond. He
had always been an enterprising
man who was interesting in the up,
building of the community in its
various enterprises, and in his death
a great factor in bringing this part
of the state from an undeyeloped
prairie to one of the best sections
of the state has been removed. In
his beliefs he was firm and ready to
assist projects of all natures which
were calculated to make conditions
better, and for those reasons his
passing from the activities of this
community will be keenly felt.
Coming to the Indian Territory
some twenty-four years ago from
Bosque county, Texas, where he was
born January 90 1861. and where he
grew to womanhood, he settled with
his family, consisting of his wife and
two children Ethel and Jesse, in what
is now Grady county, and since that
time had been one of the leading
figures in the growth of this part of
the state.
Funreal services were held Tues
day afternoon from the home in
which he had always taken Nch
pride, the service being conducted
by Rev. Icon Roberts of Oklahoma

Reclaiming Farms
Wdr-TOrn Flanders
by II. II. SHEFFIELD
united Press correspondenp

Brussels, Jan. 3O.-Slowly, but
surely the battlc.worn farms OF
Flenders are coming into their own
again. Government Is offering spec.
ial favorable terms for the leasing
Of land far agricultural purposes.
with view to helping In this branch
of national reconstruction. Belgian
farmers are all little" men; there Is
not a really big allotment In the
klgnom. While II is true that there
are spots, round about the User and
elsewhere, that will not be available
for cultivation for years, scattered
up and down Flanders, are numerous
farmlets which a couple of years
ago, were little else than shell
ploughed wastes and oeries OF the
carrion crow.
Quietly but effectively, the Bel
gian smallholder Is coming back to
his farm; and the Department Of
Agriculture is affording as much
help as red tape and bureaucracy
will admit.
There were no leased farms In
Belgium before the war. Every
small holder owned his land outright.
Under the revived system os lease
hold farms, the government has in
stifuted special facilities to enable
ruined farmers to rent land. These
impoverished people could never
after their heavy war losses, hope
to buy their allotment.
These small agrlculturists, who
have to work terribly hard to get
a living out of the ungrateiul soil.
/, usually work few acres on their
own account, or maybe, they are as
sisted by members of their family,
and perhaps, in the busy season,
by one or two, not more, hired
hands.
With determination , to develop
agriculture, the authorities subsi-
dize number of practical courses
of training in the various branches
of farm work Local agricultural
clubs and farmers societies are
chosen for carrying out this task OF
technical education Certified teach
ers In farming are paid for giving
public lectures and demonstrations
government colleges at Gembloux
and ouher places are excellently or.
ganized. Apart from this college
training, there are also public free
lectures, to which even the hum
blest have easy access, and which
are often held on Sunday or other
"off' days.
II agriculture has revived with re-
markable strides, considering the
devastation wrought by the war, it
is largely due to the fact that gov
ernment has recognized that farming
is one Of the national mainstays
and, as such, must be developed by
all available means. A second fac
tor in the revival is the perseverance
of the Flemish peasant. He is a sue
cess as smallholder, because he
is tenacious and is not easily dis.
heartened by climate and soil.

EDl TOR lAL
IS THE PROFESSOR A
FOOL?

There is nothing in the title
professor" to make one immune
from, or to insure him against,
foolishness.> We have known
professors of every degree of sim
pie mindedness. In fact, since the
title professor is freely and indis~
criminately distributed in this
country to college instructors,
dancing masters, boxing teachers,
palmists, jugglers and other
fakirs, one would expect to find
as large proportion of fools
among professors as among any
other loosely classified group of
humans, and that proportion, &C
cording to old Thomas Carlyle, is
considerable.
Suppose we conhne the epithet
to those who according to Old
World standards and customs are
alone entitled to it, those who oc-
cupy the highest rank among COL
lege instructors. Even then, we
find to Our great regret, that the
men honored with such appella-
ton are often as fatuous as other
people. The fact that he pos
sesses more or less learning, or
expert knowledge along certain
line is no guaranty against it. On
the contrary, concentration and
specialization in one field of
knowledge to the exclusion of all
other fields, and especially the
larger field of real life and daily
contact with all kinds of human
ity, tends to make one as Tiff
sophisticated as a child, even
though it give him the mastery
of certain brand of knowledge.
A striking example of this is
being furnished us just now by
the much talked about Professor
Einstein. Prof. Einstein's emf
nence as a physicist can not be
questioned, and that, too, regard
less of the merit or soundness of
his relatively theory. In recog-
milton of his standing as scien-

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

in this issue, the reader will learn
the cheerful news that the pub
fishing house of G. P. Putnam's
Sons have decided to print no
further editions of that Infamous
ly scurrilous creed "The Cause
of the World Unrest" in which
the anonymous scribbler blamed
the Jew for all the troubles that
have lately come upon the world,
the war, Bolshevism and all their
concomitant evils. The publish
ers agree now that the book is
calculated to do injustice to the
Jewish people of the world.
Their sense Of justice, therefore,
will not permit them to be guilty
of such an ofense any longer.
There is no expression of regret
on their part at all, although that
would seem to be implied, at
least, they wish it SO to be under
stood. If there is any feeling of
repentance on their part, it has
certainly come too late. The mis-
chief has been done.
We should like to be charitable
enough to give Putnam's Sons
credit for good intentions. But we
feel that they are playing hypo-
critical part. They must be
stupid, indeed, if they could not
see, when the screed was first
presented to them for publication,
what a fragrant injustice they
were perpetrating against the
Jewish people. And if they did
not have sense enough to see it,
Mr.. Louis Marshalls correspond
ence with them on the subject
should have enlightened them.
Their Pecksniffian excuse then
was that the American public was
entitled to get every presentation
and Interpretation of certain
subject. Their decision now. to
discontinue the further publica-
ton of the screed simply means
that they are satisfied that it has
done it's work, that they have thus
carried out their agreement with
the gang of reactionaries, who are
the chief instigators of the re-
vival of Jew-baiting and that they
are now trying in some way to
square themselves with the Jew
ish people. But the Jewish peo-
pie never forget Amalek.
