The bright red peoples which grow
in Flanders field are not welcome in
Massachusetts, and Commissioner of
Agriculture Gilbert, in urging that no
more seeds or plants be brought to
that state for propagation purposes,
asserts that the growing Of the flow
ers might result in tremendous loss in
agricultural districts. The Flanders
poppy, says the commissioner, spreads
very rapidly, the seeds being carried
considerable distance by the wind, and
there would be great danger of dam
age to crops. If this is true why do
the farmers of Flanders permit them
to grow7in their fields? Why do they
not eradicate them? Damage or no
damage, we insist on having a little
patch of peoples in our garden.

HOW MUCH FOR YOUR CHILD?
Very Grave Question Asked in
New Film.

Almost every father and mother
will ask themselves, "What is my
baby worth ?" after seeing Ivan
Abramson's powerful photodrama "a
Child For Sale," which. will be shown
at the Strand theater tomorrow and
Saturday, July 20 and 80.
This question is not so much in
duced by the play itself as by the
thought that must remain with every
person who sees this wonderful drama.
Director Abramson has done very
daring work in his latest success and.
as always, didn't stop for a moment
to think whether he would be praised
or condemned for his work, because
he felt that he had a grave question

According to all reports, several
men of more or less prominence, are
casting envious glances at Frank kel-
logg's seat in the United State senate.
Senator Kellogg will in all probability
be candidate to succeed himself and
if he is, he will undoubtedly be elect
ed by big majority. We may oc-
casionally be somewhat careless in
selecting our congressman but the
voters in Minnesota are rather par
ticular in choosing their United States
senator's. Senator Kellogg has made
a brilliant record and, although serv-
ing only his first term, is generally
recognized as one of the leaders in the
senate. Minnesota cannot afford to
lose the services of man of Senator
Kellogg's calibre.

Nine hundred million dollars is the
sum General Dawes says he will save
the government by introducing a sys-
tenn of reform. He will have to do
some tall trimming to accomplish this,
but, taking into consideration past
government extravagances and waste
fulness, there is apparently proba-
bility of his success. Yet, withal,, he
has stupendous JOB on his hands
a job which takes a brainy man to
tackle.

It is reported that the government
is paying 800, 100000 a year to sup
press moonshining. If this be true,
the number Of fools in this country
must exceed the estimates Of the most
extreme pessimist. If the American
people did MT have some pride in
seeing that the laws of this country
are enforced, it might be we'll to per-
nit these makers of moonshine to
drink their fill and let the poisons do
their work. The population of GER
tain communities would decrease but
the weaklings would be weeded out.

There was time when Galveston
was almost exclusively cotton ship
ping port, but figures show that dur
ing the fiscal year just ended $685.
551 bushels of wheat were shipped
from that point, or 100000 bushels
more than left the port of New York.
This is interesting as showing the re-
markable increase in wheat cultiva-
ton in Texas and neighboring states,
where cotton was virtually the only
important crop which was given any

Americanism.

Americanism.
A young Russian girl has won the
Colonial Danes medal for a prize
essay on Americanism. That is not
surprising. Americans are likely to
take Americanism as a matter of
course, sometimes, unfortunately, to
the extent of forgetting what it means
to them. We would not exaggeratc the
heedlessness Of youth, and our re-
mark applies more pointedfy to grown
ups than to children, but it is fact
that Americans, while they may be
very proud of their country and of
their Americanism, often show a re-
grettable vagueness as to the princi-
pies which have an unparalleled well
fare to this land of ours.
We observe this most conspicuously
in our readiness to propose laws
which are not American in principle
and which as they are enacted in pass,
ing impulse carry US away from the
American system. The drift toward
government interference in private
activities and private conduct is not
Americanism, but Europeanism
Whimpering and snarling over ine-
qualities of material fortune is not
Americanism. Reliance upon indi-
vidual energy and initiative and a
shrewd distrust of ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
government are the basis of true
American character which makes
American institutions and guarantees
their healthy evolution.
A foreign-born American is otter
more likely to appreciate the virtue
OF true Americanism, if only by con
trast with conditions left behind

occurs more often than not-there i

Let's Be Optimistic.

It is true that business conditions
over the country are not just what
they should be.
It is also true that the prices of
farm products are entirely too low,
and the prices Of some other products
are entirely too high.
We should remember, however, that
the world was insane over period of
four years. It takes time to repair
the damage done in that time.
We are all in the same boat. The
man who rocks the boat is the COM
mon foe. And as deplorable as pres
ent conditions may be, we arc still
the most prosperous country on earth.
We are free from any grim pestilence
that takes a deadly toll. Our gran
aries are full to overlooking with the
produce Of the soil. No one is in need
of clothing. So let's cheer up and
buck up. It might be a hundred times
worse.-Winnebago Enterprise.
