HYSTERIA NOT PATRIOTISM

There are those who would have us believe that because the people of this country are not ablaze with and shouting their patriotism from the housetops they are necessarily not in sympathy with the war program. But no greater ■mistake in judgment was ever made. The American people as a mass have regretted the necessity for going to war. We had hoped against hope that it could be avoided. Even at this day there is an undercurrent of hope that in some way, consistent with honor, the dire con-

BUSINESS MEN who want business to go on as usual must remember that to do this their advertising must go on as usual. Any diminution in the advertising allotments is as sure to be followed by diminution in business, as day follows night.

sequence® of war as felt by the European nations may be a /puled: But while this hope i< in the national heart, there is also in that heart a grim, deadlv determination that certain objects MUST be attained. even though our sacrifice dqual or exceed that of the others. Our people were slow to arouse, even yet are only partially awake, but in the great heart of the nation there is steadily awakening that inherent loyalty’ to our great ideals that has carried us triumphantly through everv^crisis that has ever; confronted us.Xj’his feeling is not bijilt upon fterfn. It is not the result of and bred ip us and is as much a part of us as our very life blofnl. The attitude of the American people today is that of facing a duty a very disagreeable duty--bot one of, which there can be no faintest thought of our shirking or evading. We* are coming to see before us a gigantic task but a task upon the accomplishment of W-hich depends all we have hqped for and longed for and striven for during the century and a ‘ half of our existence. it is the solemn realization of this task, and the grim, deadly earnestness with which our people are setting abot its accomplishment. that has produced oyer the land a quiet determination that, to the superficial observer, might be mistaken for indifference. . But the man or nation that thus judges is due for an astonishing awakening in the months to come. Americans, aroused- are invincible, and they know it. Hence we have no need for hysteria.

CHILDREN AND WAR

"Adults ard the first and cnildren the last line of defense," says a bulletin of the State Board of Health. The bulletin further says: "Children are the citizens of toniorrow f Shall they be healthy and dr sickly and weak? Would it be economy to hoard our money and only partially equip the first Hire of defense? Would it be ecdn-

omy to treat the last line ihe same way?" “In Europe, under the pressure' of sudden warfare, the children were for the moment forgotten. In Great Britain, some of the first war economies were i a the educational system. The erection of new school buildings ceased Hepairsfr and improvements were not made. Some school buildings were taken .Over for military perp j --:.- Eve : nittg schools, '■medical "inspection, school dentistry and free lunches were stopped ot cut down. Economy, so-called, was applied to all the schools and with what results? Juvenile (lelinquendy increased 34 per cent. In Germany, the same so-called economy was practiced and in Berlin in 191'» there were twice as. many crimes ■’committed by children as in 19 14. It-surely is not economy or good business in war time or any time t’O keep health training, and moral and mental training from our children even in slight degrees. Teachers should not enlist for -tlie war. They can give better service to their country by continuing their usual work, training the young. In England, over 200,000 children in the age lieriod of’ll to liy -left school to engage in work, and now the mistake is acknowledged and repair is going on,: Sidney Webb says: “In our frenzy for preparedness wo actually began to te;i£ down the social structure by closing and neglecting our - schools. In Germany and France «the same error was made, and now- reconstruction is the cry," The child is worth the sav'ng and our second line of defense must be made stronger than ever, 'The high cost of materials and of

labor must not stand in t.he way of making school houses sanitary. The schools must be: made better. More than even now we are at war, should the child be kept healthy .and carefully trained mentally and morally. Arnold Bennett sa,ys: ‘ Education and health are the very, last things we ought to economize in.". .' ' la;t us strongly oppose all attemps 'to break down the school system either by relaxing enforcement of compulsory (duration or by so-called economy. Oppose all attempts to break laws by -giving children special permits to work as b.v exempting certain establishments from laws limiting hifurs of labor. Support as usual local and social agencies. Do not allow the holding' back of education, juvenile protective associations, child welfare, health activities, or . better babies work. And above all don’t, neglect spiritual .and religious affairs. Economy does not consist in simply not spending money. ■ «

DISTRIBUTION OF MAN POWER

Viewing tire: matter in the light of sober reason, which is most necessary at this time —-we must all see wherein congress had .weighty reasons, for its action in voting to raise an army by selective draft. We can not think that our lawmakers were inspired by any prejudice against the volunteer system, noi* that they intended any discredit to the volunteer spirit of our people. The impelling reason seems to have been that the recruiting of an army is only one ot the huge tasks before this Country. There is also the huge task of practically feeding the world, or at least our allies, which calls for much thought and discrimination in the mustering of our forces. It is the intention of the government ip recruiting the regiments needed to interfere as little as possible with the various branches of industry, particularly that of farming. To this end the •authorities were convinced that the selection of recruits should not be left to voluntary action, but placed in competent hands that should decide who should FIGHT and who should WORK. With the calling of men to the colors, the people should take this sensible view of the' situation, and realize that if one young man is exempted and another is not, there is some all powerful reason for the apparent discrimination. Those most urgently needed in industrial life should be the last to be summoned, for when industry stops the army is soon at a standstill. The time has come when everyman is expected to do his full duty in whatever station he may be called". There is no room for slackers and soreheads and grumblers. .

FARMERS SHOULD SOW WHEAT

Price Will Remain’ High Even After Peace Has Been Declared. ‘<This is the year for the Indiana farmer to sow wheat. If the war continues we shall have to help feed half of Europe while we fight the other half. If the war should cease, we shall have to help feed all of Europe. In either case it will be an act of patriotism and humanity to raise the best wheat crop possible next year." says. Otis Crane of the Purdue extension detpartment. "The prices of wheat and fertilizer., are high, but when we consider the need for food, these will be poor excuses for not sowing wheat this fall." Mr. Crane states that the first requirement for growing a big crop of wheat is to have the “desire." In addition to this the seed bed must be well prepared, availabl plant food must be furnished, the wheat must be. sown at the proper time, and good seed must be used.

On the first point the poet would say, '‘The hearth giveth grace to every art and he who follows love's behest far excelleth all the rest.'’ If your son. brother or neighbor is going. to the trenches, you should see that it is not your fault if he does not at least have bread to eat. The largest yields of wheat can be made by sowing after soy beans or potatoes. In 1916 Purdue university obtained an average of 25.6 bushels of wheat >per acre following corn and 33.5 bushels to the acre where wheat followed soy beans. Similar results were obtained by the Ohio station. In t]jeir experiments, wheat following corn yielded 2 8.2 bushels, wheat following soy beans 38.2 bushels, wheat following potatoes 38.1 bushels and wheat following oat% 37.2 bushels. These' experiments show strongly the value of Sowing wheat following annual legumes rather than! following corn. Where wheat follows oats, the ground must be plowed, but when wheat follows soy beans and potatoes the soil may be fitted by harrowing and rolling. Wheat does best on a compact seed bed, which is ..easily obtained on land which has been cultivated through the summer and then hallowed well before sowing, >

On the better grades of soil an application of 200 pounds of 16 or 18 per cent acid phosphate to - the acre will be sufficient I’Br the wheat crop. Where a good clover sod has been turned under or manure applied, nitrogen will not be needed, but on thinner soils- a fertilizer containing 2 per cent nitrogen and 10 to 14 per phosphoric acid: may be used with profit. This year good seed will be an unusually important factor because of the difficulty of securing seed of

first class quality. In many counties the wheat is badly affected with smut and other fungous diseases so that special care must be exercised in treating the seed ill .order that these diseases may be eliminated. In the fall of 1916 L. O. Chasey of Grant county cut his corn, disked and harrowed the land and drilled 175 pounds of fertilizer to the acre and sowed ’ clean, plump grain the last week in' September. This year he has a bumper crop of wheat which will yield over 30 bushels to the acre, while many other farmers in the section who did not give so much attention to these points have fields which will produce 15 to 20 bushels. Wherever good practices are, adopted large yields are sure to follow.
