Messages to America: “Make Hun Pay;" “Get Together With the English”

and to keep these classes on this restoration work. The kind of warfare Germany has been conducting does not call for an ordinary peace. It demands reparation, restitution and repentance. The Germans must rebuild as far as is possible what they have wickedly destroyed. Barbarians never did worse and I say the Huns should pay. Another thing I want to emphasize is the sincerity of the EnglishAmerican get-togethe* proposal. lam thoroughly convinced that the feeling of the average Englishman toward America today bears almost the game brand of sincerity as the feeling of admiration and esteem which Americans have for France. English people at home want us to regard them with the same affection we feel for the French, because they feel toward us as France does toward us. The whole world is changing rapidly and it looks to me as if the English-speaking peoples and other allies in this war are going to get together on a basis of genuine brotherhood that might not have come for centuries had it not been for the war. My biggest thrill came when General Rawlinson of the Fourth British army took me to Cambrai, where the Thirtieth Illinois division, with the Twenty-seventh New York division, participated in the first smashing of the famous Hindenburg line. It was here that Colonel Sanborn and the old First Illinois and Col. Abel Davis and the old Second and other regiments in the Prairie division pierced that line. General Rawlinson said that he had never seen more gallant troops in any fight and that no soldiers ever displayed greater gallantry than did our Illinois and New York boys on that day.

Farmers of Country Asked to Increase Acreage to Be Planted to Wheat

By R. A. PEARSON.

The department of agriculture at Washington endeavors to keep in close touch with the agricultural situation throughout our entire country and with the agricultural and food situations in the countries of the allies. On the basis of the information we have of foreign affairs, food and agriculture it seems necessary to ask the farmers of this country to increase the acreage to be planted to wheat this fall at least 7 per cent over the acreage planted last fall. The situation in each state has been studied and an effort made to distribute the burden of extra wheat production as equitably as possible. Besides the increase of aertage it is earnestly hoped— it is confidently expected—that the best possible seed and cultural methods will be used to insure as great a yield as will be possible under conditions to be confronted. In some sections of our country farmers have been unfortunately handicapped by weather conditions over which they have no control, but, to the praise of most of them, it can be said that they have started again with new courage to secure a better crop the following year. Such men may fairly be compared with the young American soldier, who, only a few days ago after several difficult and dangerous setbacks, brought his wounded comrade’to friends and safety. Such farmers can be compared with whole companies of American soldiers who recently have been advancing steadily over ground held by the obstinate enemy and hia deadly guns. It is this spirit that actuates those who believe that “food will win the war,” and who serve accordingly. It was stated in the foregoing that the burden of producing wheat is being distributed. It would be better to say the privilege, because everyone who raises wheat at this time is contributing directly to the great task of feeding the world which Y%have undertaken. When peace comes, there should be no lessening of effort. The world will be short of food for several years, and upon America will rest largely the responsibility for feeding many of the peoples of earth.

Consideration of Problem of How Best To Dispose of Germans in U. S.

By ROBERT COSMOS HARDING.

What are we going to do and say to Germans when peace is established? Shall we export them? Or shall we endeavor to teach them the fundamental principles of civilization and humanity? What s we do with the enemy yor former enemy remaining within our gates? Have you United States citizens considered their disposition? If you haven’t it were better to pause and reflect immediately. For the question is most vitally yours. Humanity dictates forbearance. It points to the past-—to the teachings of Christ, “Go and sin no more.” But those immortal words are scarcely applicable to Germans since 1914. Germans have violated every code sacred to humanity and civilization, and, if allowed freedom, will continue to commit deeds bearing the marks of barbarism strongly. Circumstances, education, kultur have molded the Germans into scum. They have made their bed; let them lie in it. Yet those of that nationality who have glimpsed the light of truth in this country an have followed it., molest hot; rather nourish. To the real German close our gates forever. And the sooner tho better. For with German propaganda spread from coast to coast, as inevitably will be the case unless we adopt stringent methods of combating it, fiendishness, barbarism, kultur, militarism and what not will drown the elements for which we are fighting and the glorious Stars and Stripes will become a black eagle. . Therefore, until the German shall have become an integral part o advanced civilization and honor, In fitting manner, justice, ostracism were the best course and our teachings must be from a distance, for threats, punishments, outcasting seems to have absolutely no influence. Nor is it only the German crown but each and every citizen of Germany who bear* the label “Hellish Hunism” . . . - v

By WRIGHT A. PATTERSON

“Make the Hun pay” is one of the messages I am taking back to the United States after a visit to the allied battle fronts of France and Belgium. The Americans should not listen to any talk of “no indemnity.” They should demand as with one voice that Germany pay for her wanton devastation and pillage. It will be to the everlasting disgrace of the allies if they make any peace with the Hun that does not insure the restoration of France and Belgium, dollar for dollar. The best suggestion I have heard is that the allies compel Germany to continue to raise her annual military class

SEEK TO SAVE OLD VESSEL

Effort to Bo Mod# for tho Preservation of Admiral Forragut'o Flagship, tho Hartford. Fnrragut’s old flagship, tho Hartford, is lying at Charleston, S. C., and Is condemned to an Ignoble end unless American patriots rescue her from the scrap heap. The flagship of tho first admiral of the American navy la already a dismantled hulk, the bully old boat that distinguished herself In the battles of New Orleans, Port Hudson, Grand Gulf, Vicksburg and Mobile Bay, and which was tire home of that gallant, fighting sailor, Farragut, during the entire Civil war. I The Hartford Isn’t going to the boneyard If the associated veterans of Farragut’s fleet can help it. There Isn’t a great number of the veterans of those wonderful old days left, but enough of them to stir up American patriotism with the rattling old slogan : “Don’t give up the ship 1” . The voice of the late Admiral Dewey was raised on behalf of - the historic Hartford, as well as that of every veteran organization In tho country. The efforts to save the ship have found approval In the person of the secretary of the navy. She Is only a wooden ship, Is the old Hartford, and was built In 185 a But she was built on the graceful Unea of the clipper and was the apple of Admiral Farragut’s eye. It was In her rigging that Fart-agut lashed himself during the battle of Mobile Bay and shouted his famous command: “Damn the torpedoes 1 Four bells ahead, Drayton.”

THE REASON

Bunny— Why divorce your husband? Mrs. Crow—Oh! for “caws.”

Brave English Women.

In the British munition factories, women equipped with fireproof gowns and caps, green veils and respirators, the brave “canary girls,” their hair ana skin turned bright yellow, worked In the dangerous trotyl. Fuse makers there were who had to get their fuses correct to the thousandth of an Inch. Women from the universities, specialists In science and mathematics, worked as tool setters; others moved 00pound shells with ease. Women, aguin, worked in the tailor shops and canteens connected with the arsenals, or, clad in leggings and mackintosh, did trucking and carrying like strong men. These English women not merely showed Industry and spirit and fervor, but they set upon their work the seal of valor. Their lives were in constant danger from the materials in which they worked and also because the factories were chief objectives of air raiders. —Yale Review.

Submarinism.

When history sums up this war it will not be the ferocity of the German submarine campaign that will be remembered so much as its fatuity. National pride cannot live down a reputation of colossal and- abject failure. The inability of the submarine to prevent the transportation of an American army to France will be remembered. The German submarine will take its place, with the Spanish Armada and Napoleon’s retreat from Russia as ft symlxol of ruthless und humiliating defeat of the pride and folly of imperial power.—The Dial.

Couldn’t Get Even.

An Alabama doughboy had troubles galore with a mule: “Ah Just couldn’t take any interest In dat mule. The others were all right. Dls one, first crack outa de box, done bit mah finger. Den, while Ah’m ’zaminln’ mah finger he ups an’ kicjts me In de pants. Den dose bush Germans started a gas attack. “I was s’posed to put gas masks on dern mules an’ den on me. I put masks on two of dem. “Den I led dls ornery one around In dat gas foah two hours, an’ dog mah cats, nothin’ ever happened to dat mule a tall!”

More Rapid.

“In some respects you are greater than Napoleon,” remarked the faithful attendant. “But,” protested the deposed ruler, “I’jn down and out.” “Yes. Your finish is very much like Napoleon’s, and it took you a very much shorter time to reach It.”

Songs of the Soil.

This is ; the day when every happy young member of the women’s land army Is Ringing “If ever I maftry in all my Uie a farmer’s bride I’ll be,” and when the would-be farmerettei rises at morn and sings "I dreamed I dwelt in overalls.”—Los Angeles Times. - -

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

The Jasper County Board of Education met in regular session in the office of the county superintendent on Monday, Jan. 6. The following new members appeared in the meeting for the first time: John Bowie, of Wheatfield; Alfred Duggleby, of Kankakee; Walter Harrington, of Union; Julius Huff, of Jordan; Charles Wood, of Milroy. The following trustees Who succeeded themselves were present: Grant Davisson, of Barkley; John Kush, of Newton; Warren Poole, of Hanging Grove. Clifford Fairchild, of Keener, has been reported down with the influenza. It is also reported that Burdette Porter, of Carpenter, is down with the influenza. Mr. LeFever, of Gillam, and John Pettet, of Walker, were not present. Charles Postill, of Marion, sat in the board for the first time in a way and also for the second time in a way. He succeeded Mr. Harvey Wood, Jr., by appointment last November.- That term of appointment expired December 31, 1918. His term for which he was elected began Jan. 1, 1919. Chas. M. Sands, the truant officer, was present most of the meeting. County Superintendent Sterrett was selected president of tho new board by virtue of his office. John Kush was elected vice president and Charles Postill secretary. Messrs. Sterrett, Kush and Poßtill were selected as auditing committe for tfce board.

Upon a motion presented by Mr. Bowie and seconded by Mr. Duggleby to hold the county institute this year the first week in September, a vote was submitted and stoed unanimously in favor of holding the institute from Sept. 1 to 5 inclusive. Charles Postill made a motion that the schools of Jasper county convene on Monday, Sept. 8. Mr. Bowie seconded this motion. The motion was supported by unanimous vote also. John Kush made a motion that all members of the board act in accord with the decision of the Attorney General not allowing pay to janitors and hack drivers during the quarantine period. Mr. Duggleby seconded this motion. This subject provoked considerable discussion. The trusthroughout the discusson were willing to do all that was legal for fear that the accountants would cause them trouble. To them the trustees who left office December 31, 1918, without paying the bill did so to give the newly elects a dangerous problem to solve upon entering the duties of their new office. Mr. Harrington finally called for the question and a vote w r as taken. It was voted unanimously to stand by the opinion of the Attorney General, whose authority is the highest in Indiana. At the conclusion of the meeting Mr. Bowie offered a few remarks eliciting the inconveniencfe of a board meeting at 2 o’clock each board day. He was requested by, the chair to make a motion embracing his contentions. He moved that the meetings hereafter bq convened at 11 o'clock instead of 2. Mr. Poole seconded the motion. It was then submitted with-

out further debate or discussion and was unanimously supported. Charles Postill stated that his teachers were under positive instructions to teach the schools until he ordered them to stop except in case the teacher became ill. That teachers were not to report pupils to the truant officer who were conscientiously objecting to school on account of the influenza. His position was that the schools stood open equipped with a teacher to receive all children whose parents were willing'to send them. The presumption in case of absence should stand favorably to the pupils until the teacher was convinced that the parents were abusing the situation, whence the truant officer should be notified- County Truant Officer Sands was present and expressed hia assent to Mr. Postill’s position and recommended this position to the other trustees. Children's parties, loafing about depots, stores, attending picture shows and other public gath-> erings where contagion is equally aa •possible as at school are some of the guide markings to test the sincerity of a parent’s fear of the epidemic. This matter was discussed in an arbitrary way but it met with the approval of all trustees present even though it is not recorded by the secretary among the minutes. The state board of accounts has reclassified several of Jasper county’a townships. Gillam, formerly in class 10, is now in class 9; Union, formerly m class 9, is now-in class-8; Marion, formerly in class 8, is now an class 7. The trustee’s salary, expense, clerical, etc., are made more or less aa each township slides from one class into another. The trustee’s office prior to Jan. 1, 1919, was a position of honor, trust and loss. Now the position was made more equitable by being more an office of honor, trust and a little wee profit.
