"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S LIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWKED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN" The Pioneer ESTABISHED 1882 German Thrift Means Much Some icy morning next January, when you come down to breakfast thankful for a warm house and the prospect of a steaming meal, on the front page of the newspaper beside your plate you'll read of the poor who are suffering for want of food and fuel. In the mail which comes a little later probably will be an appeal from some organization in need of funds to alleviate this sorry condition. In anticipation of this occurrence, which is coming as surely as Christmas, we suggest that the reader turn to a file of Collier's, to a number of a few weeks ago, and look at a photograph reproduced at the bottom of page 17. It's a picture of a woman standing in front of the biggest pile of peaches you ever saw. Under it is this caption: A 4000-BUSHEL PEACH CROP GONE TO WASTE. This pile of fruit, grown in a single orchard near Guthrie, Okla., was allowed to rot because the owner could not get enough for it to pay marketing expenses. Similar losses occurred throughout Oklahoma, which grew 3000 carloads of peaches this year, and in many states as well. Yet in the cities peaches have been retailing all summer and fall at from 2 cents to 5 cents apiece. Even in the bulk, they have been out of reach of hundreds of thousands of people. This year millions of dollars' worth of food has perished on the farms. Better distribution facilities for farm products are one of the nations biggest economic problems. To have such a picture handy while you're reading of the widespread suffering caused by lack of food may add to the vividness of the story. If further emphasis be needed, it can be got from the files of any newspaper for the early summer months of 1915-papers filled with news of peas being plowed under because it didn't pay to pick them; potatoes left in the hills to rot because the market price was less than the combined cost of labor and bags; fresh vegetables and fruits of various sorts being dumped into Lake Michigan by the carload because Chicago markets were flooded; New Jersey farmers complaining because they had to pay the transportation charges on farm products which they couldn't sell in Philadelphia and New York. But what has this to do with Germany and the war? Just this, that if a like measure of waste, due to inefficient marketing conditions had been permitted in Germany, before this time she probably would have been defeated, not by the armies of the allies, but by a lack of food for her 65,000,000 people, who for more than fifteen months have had to depend for sustenance on the products of a land area four-fifths the size of the state of Texas. For these months Germany has been shut off from a large part of the world's food markets. During that period most unusual drains have been made upon her available food resources. In addition to feeding her citizenry, she has had to nourish millions of fighting men, whose tense work and exposure demand a sufficiency of good food. Besides this, there have been the prisoners a host as large as the city of Philadelphia, by the smallest estimate also to be fed. Yet, with only one-tenth as much land as there is in the United States to support a population two-thirds as large as ours, Germany has performed the remarkable feat of feeding herself and her armies and captives, and doing it so well that now, after fifteen months of unparalleled struggle, her people and armies are fit for their titanic task. There is no secret back of this. It simply is a matter of no waste. For twenty-five years the German people have been drilled in economy at every turn. They have been taught that production is only one phase of the prosperity that leads to and sustains efficiency; that proper distribution of what is produced is an equally important part of the matter. They have been guided to extremes because of their large numbers and their small area. They have planted their roadsides to fruit trees and used every square foot of available land for some productive purpose. After reaping the fruitage of such cultivation, they have been taught how to avoid wasting a single stalk or root. The state has taught them how to grow, store and market and how to cook and serve. The result of such a campaign for economy is astonishing the world today. It is the chief source of a remarkable strength which yet may constitute this efficient nation a victor in the world's greatest war. And it should arouse every American to a serious consideration of the terrible waste that is being permitted in this country. Philadelphia North American. DO YOUR VERY BEST. Be Earnest and Thorough and You Are Bound to Succeed. There is a feature of Dickens' character which cannot be too often or too seriously insisted upon, and that is his intense earnestness and thoroughness in everything he did. He said to me more than once: "My dear boy, do everything at your best. If you do that neither I nor any one else can find fault with you, even if you fall. For myself, I can honestly say that I have taken as great pains with the smallest thing I ever did as with the biggest." In giving advice to a young author he said on one occasion: "If you want your public to believe in what you write you must believe in it yourself. When I am describing a scene I can as distinctly see what I am describing as I can see you now. So real are my characters to me that on one occasion I had fixed upon the course which one of them was to pursue. The character, however, got hold of me and made me do exactly the opposite to what I had intended, but I was so sure that he was right and I was wrong that I let him have his own way." Whatever he did either in work or at play he always gave of his very best. He hated slackness or half heartedness in any shape or form.—Harper's Weekly. Wise men indulge in much musing. Chief Justice White Gallant Washington, D. C. - The large heartedness for which Chief Justice White, of the United States Supreme Court, is proverbial in Washington, caused him to act as an escort for an aged "mammy" of the "befo' de war" type. Laden with a basket which seemed filled with vegetables of every kind grown in America, the little, old woman waited at Fifteenth street, near the Treasury, for a northbound car. Some one jostled her and spilled the farm products on the pavement just as Chief Justice White emerged from a corner shop. Seeing her plight, the Chief Justice quickly recovered the rolling apples and potatoes with celerity. He then hitched the basket on his arm and waited for the right car. When it arrived he gallantly helped the old colored woman aboard and then lifted on the basket, replying to her profuse thanks. As the car moved on some one told "mammy" that her rescuer was the Chief Justice of the United States. Her first comment was "My Lawd, an' to think I had on dis old dirty apron, when I has a whole washline full of clean ones at home. But I knowed he was quality sho,' 'cause he's got a fine politeness fo' people.' PARENT AND CHILD. There is no relation so far reaching as that of parent and child. The latter's welfare absolutely depends on what is done for it by the former. To neglect the religious and natural culture of a child, is to rob it of any chance for great achievements. To see children on week-days playing truant, or not forced to attend some school, or pitching horse shoes on Sundays instead of being forced to Sunday School and church reflects greatly on their parents or guardians, and is a direct judgment question, for if a man is responsible for his pig, surely God will hold him responsible for his child also. We noticed a fine rose bush, blooming all down in the mud, not long since, which seemed a pity that one had not trained it up on a pole. The same is noticeable in child culture. The beautiful rose blooms down in the Mud for want of proper care. Many of the brightest minded boys and girls among us are crap shooters, midnight gamblers and drunkards, simply because they were not properly looked after in childhood. In Luray there are many who attend no school. Watch parents watch.—Luray Colored Churchman. "JONAH" TO THE ASYLUM John B. Nash, of Mineral County, West Virginia, the former ginseng grower, who has been tramping over the country for several years clothed in white flowing robes, barefoot and flowing white hair, claiming to be the prophet Jonah, has been declared insane by a lun Press. acy commission, and will be sent to the State Hospital at Weston. Nash recently asked the Sheriff for protection, saying the "white caps" had threatened him. Nash was pelted with small stones and bad eggs at Harrisonburg, Va., several months ago, when he made an inflammatory speech from the Courthouse steps, in which he denounced all public officials and attacked many of the churches. He fled down the Shenandoah Valley pike, and after distributing tracts at Winchester made a bee line for the Virginia mountains. Our human intercourse is constantly being thwarted by our consciousness of consequences. It is especially the case when we are young. Young people feel that they can hardly have an intimate conversation without its ending in a promise to correspond or an invitation to visit. If we keep this attitude as we grow older the consciousness that a moment's intimacy may entail so much makes us pause before taking the fateful plunge. How often do we draw back in a moment of expansion because we reflect, "Shall we feel the same way tomorrow or next month?" How many friendly impulses do we restrain because we are afraid something more will be expected of us! New York Telegram. The reason why I have heretofore been able to sell my goods so much lower than anybody else is that I am a bachelor and do not need to make a profit for the maintenance of a wife and children. It is now my duty to inform the public that this advantage will shortly be withdrawn from them, as I am about to be married. They will therefore do well to make their purchases at once at the old rate.—Petrograd Otogoloski. THE FATA MORGANA Conditions That Must Obtain to Allow of Its Production. The fata morgana is a singular aerial phenomenon akin to the mirage. It is seen in many parts of the world, but most frequently and in greatest perfection at the strait of Messina, between Sicily and Italy. So many conditions must coincide, however, that even there it is of comparatively rare occurrence. To allow of its production the sun must be at an angle of forty-five degrees with the water, both sky and sea must be calm and the tidal current sufficiently strong to cause the water in the center to rise higher than on the edges of the strait. When these conditions are fully met the observer on the heights of Calabrka, looking toward Messina, will behold a series of rapidly changing pictures, sometimes of most exquisite beauty. Castles, colonnades, successions of beautiful arches, palaces, cities, with houses and streets and church domes; mountains, forests, grottoes, will appear and vanish, to be succeeded perhaps by fleets of ships, sometimes placidly sailing over the deep, sometimes inverted, while a halo like a rainbow surrounds every image. It is supposed that the images are due to the irregular refractive powers of the different layers of air above the sea, which magnify, repeat and distort the objects on the Sicilian shore beyond, but to the Italians these singular appearances are the castles of the Princess Morgana, and the view of them is supposed to bring good fortune to the beholder. Fhonetic spelling was evidently in fashion in the sixteenth century, when even Shakespeare could not spell his own name consistently. There is a letter dug from the correspondence of a lady of the sixteenth century in the book of the "Cotswold Family"—the Hicks-Benches. Junjima writes—it is a matter of debt between the cautious widow and "My lord a Kalder"—"My lord Anmaril and your wife I honour and love, but your false swearing and promise I hotterie a pore." What she really meant was "utterly athor."—London Telegraph. Why Wa Draw Back A Russian Ad. Phonetic Spelling "Nigger Graze" Is Overworked . Some Southern newspapers remind us of the story of the harmlessly crazy fiddler who had a fiddle with but one string and spent the years of his life in an asylum sawing out one tune on the one. These contemporaries have but one idea. That idea is "nigger." The Negro has been out of our politics in the South from twelve to twenty-five years. He is behaving himself admirably—in some sections much better than the white people around him. He is making no attempts at social equality or political power and he is attending to his business peacefully. Yet these newspapers continue to be sensitively crazy on the "nigger." Some of them are indulging now in conventional spasms because of the fact that a few days ago President Wilson and Mrs. Calt, with two or three friends motored to a place not far from Washington and had a luncheon at a restaurant kept by colored people. This is stupidity, ignorance and provincialism almost inconceivable. Every meal of every white family in the South which can afford to keep a cook is cooked by a colored people. Everywhere in the North, the productions of the "old fashioned Southern cook" are famous. In the cities of Charleston and Richmond through years the most fashionable caterers for all the big social events were colored men. In many of the small towns and some of the large ones the only restaurants at which a decently cooked meal is obtainable are kept by colored people. Doubtless this restaurant near Washington has local reputation for some one special kind of food or for general excellence. The attempt of newspapers conducted by persons supposed to be grown men and able to read and write to present a protest against a visit by the President to a place of that kind is smallness whittled down to the point of absolute vacuity. - Richmond Evening Journal. EAST INDIAN IDOLS. Some That Are Guarded and Saluted by British Troops. In India a British guard of honor presents arms to a stone tiger every day. The tiger is regarded by the natives as a god who drives away all danger and calamity, and once some soldiers, in a spirit of mischief, overthrew the image from its resting place and sent it rolling into the valley below. So shocked and scandalized were the natives that a revolt seceded imminent, and Lord Combermere quieted the outraged natives by restoring the image to its pedestal and ordering the regiment to salute it in full view of all. Since that time a British troop has kept watch over the tiger idol day by day. Another Indian idol which is watched over by the British is the god whose name is Klak Klak, equivalent to "Lord of Lords," which is supposed to be asleep for 6,000 years and whose awakening will be the end of all things. Hence the natives of the city of Pegu, in Burma, are terribly afraid that some one will arouse the god, so the British government, to avert trouble, stationed a sentry there to prevent this catastrophe.

Bad fellows, bad fellows' can't you please change your policies: Germany's and England's replies: Didn't mean to be bad dear old Uncle Sam. All right. When Booth killed the world's greatest man, a leading character said to a distinguished citizen: 'what will become of this country?' A wiser man replied: "God still lives and the government will go on." Relative to the race, we apply the above to the death of Booker T. Washington, whose soul we hope is basking in the great White light of eternal joy. The way in which people are being held up and robbed by a gang of would-be murderers certainly is enough to open the eyes of the blind law that forced decent citizens not to carry revolvers to protect themselves from the ravages of such highwaymen. If ever there was a law that should be repealed the pistol toting law is the one, for robbers and would-be murderers always go armed while obedient and law abiding citizens go from place to place, peaceful, unarmed and unprotected. Change the law and make it sensible, so all can be benefited. Much ado is being raised because a noted French surgeon extracted a splinter from the heart of a sergeant who was wounded while engaged in defense of his country. More than a score of years ago, Dr. Daniel H. Williams, an American surgeon of great renown, sewed up a human heart that had been pierced by a bullet, and the patient after a reasonable length of time, fully recovered. Best of all, Dr. Williams, who was one of the first surgeons in the world to successful-treat a human being's heart, is allied with the colored race, and is proud of the fact. Now we would not detract from the French surgeon in any sense of the word, but when it comes to successful surgical treatment of the heart, Dr. Williams has him bested by a priority of twenty years. A half crazy white woman rejoices that woman suffrage failed in Pennsylvania, for the reason Negro women would have voted; and declares had the Northern soldiers foreseen such a possibility, they would have thrown down their arms. Bless your shrivelled soul if it can be seen a hundred thousand did that very thing when they learned they were fighting to free the slaves. Mark this fact and mark it well, that had it not been for the one-fifth of a million Negro soldiers the North never would have whipped the South: hence, truth establishes a fact that the sensible world grants, that had it not been for those brave Negro soldiers, neither their freedom nor the Union would have been a lasting reality. Go away back old sister, sit down and learn facts and history. MRS. GALT AND THE PRESIDENT. It may be "luck," or it may be "good judgment," evidently one or the other. However, in their meandering courtship Harper's Ferry the rock-ribbed and vine-clad hills, earth's garden spot for health and beauty was reached, and how natural for Mrs. Galt, who in other days having been so graciously treated and bountifully fed at the Hill Top House, owned and managed by Mr. Thomas S. Lovett, a man born in neither the dark nor light of the moon, and absolutely the best hotel man in this state, and has the best hotel and family help in the state, to take the President there for a sumptuous meal and they got it. But O my! how it has offended the fools of the South, but read an article of this issue on the front page, taken from a Richmond, Virginia paper owned by a white man, and you will have rich food for thought. The Hill-Top House has a nationwide reputation. A few years ago an old southern General came to this famous place with a crowd who had been there, but on arriving and finding Mr. Lovett in charge, enraged the old fellow. Orders were given that his baggage go back to the station. Friends surrounded him and begged him to stay, but he could not "stay at a nigger's hotel." Finally he gruffly consented, but swore he "never could treat a nigger with politeness." In a short time the old man took sick and a doctor pronounced it typhoid fever, he having brought the germs within him. A fine trained nurse was the essential wanted and Mr. Lovett's wife was that and offered her service which was accepted. Lingering between life and death for weeks, symptoms of recovery released the tension and in due course of time the old gentleman got well, and on starting for home he cried like a baby and publicly hugged and kissed his nurse goodby three times. Why raise so much condemnation over hard-headed Americans who in spite of protests go on ships and are killed in war zones, when right at home not only daily lynchings are going on, but our great big home-bragging government that has been playing tag with Mexico, and fumbling with oversea warring nations where millions are being murdered, for the sake of peace and harmony goes to Haiti with her warships and bluejackets, and shoot down the poor helpless blacks who are climbing a more peaceful and bloodless ladder of civilization than the whites of America lay claim to? As we see it, Belgium reaped what its wicked old ruler sowed in Africa, as has England, and America has a mountain of crimes as high and black for which she must answer, and all its "don't do it any more, helps on the crushing finality. No wonder Jefferson said: the future of his country made him tremble. "Please tell me if you endorse wearing mourning?" Absolutely no! It's a relic of barbarism. Why should the bereaved ones keep the heart sad by constantly looking at crape worn by the loved ones? Is it not pompous? Sincerity of grief needs no show. Crape wearing is foolish from every angle to be viewed from. Our wife has her decree to wear none unless she thinks we've gone to the hell she believes in, that we don't. If constantly worn by those who are sincere, its bad on their minds and bodies and develops the brain abnormally. It's an outward sign.

Hand power was a great thing in its day: steam power took its place, and now, you may depend upon it electricity is sure to step in indefinitely as steam did to silence hand power. Possibly you may laugh to scorn our idea of freedom from drudgery, but, watch for the day is here when drudgery will have no power to make human slaves. Electricity is as certain to change things, as the preaching of this day gospel is to fall flat and let the preachers be the mudsills upon which their deceivers are promised to step into glory on them for, until science and religion meet and mingle on God's plans, no good will come from the preaching of the present day gospel. Because steam was local, our congested conditions in great cities were formed,but now that the light of electricity is shining so brilliantly as to scatter it our contention is it is as certain to supercede steam as steam shelved hand power. Heretofore people of thoughtful minds moved where steam and water power prevailed, but now, that electric power can be moved anywhere, people the world over will stay or go where it exists and that will be everywhere.

A north a man who was visiting in Baltimore stopped on the street one day to have his shoes polished. A bright eyed little black boy stepped forward to give the desired shine. Becoming interested in the little chap, the northerner asked his name, to which the boy promptly replied: "Gen. sah." After a few moments of silence the northerner continued, "I suppose that is an abbreviation for General." The word "abbreviation" gave the little fellow pause. However, he was equal to the occasion and recovered himself. "No, sah," he said; "tain't 'xactly dat. Ma shore 'nough name am Genesis xxx, 33.

The two most important and most intimately associated products of Indiana are corn and hogs. The Chinese claim to have bred and domesticated the hog 4,000 years before the Christian era. The ancient Egyptians knew the hog, and this animal is depicted on their monuments. The use of the meat of the hog was prohibited by the Jews, and it was considered that in hot countries it produced skin diseases. The Moslems under Mohammedan law are also prohibited from using pork. The hog was unknown in America until introduced from Europe by the early navigators. In the South American forests are great droves of wild hogs, the descendants of hogs brought over by the Spanish.—Chicago Journal. A Match For Him: A cockney angler, thinking his highland boatman was not treating him with the respect due to his station, expostulated thus: "Look here, my good man, you don't seem to grasp who I am. Do you know that my family has been entitled to bear arms for the last 200 years?" "Hooks; that's nothing!" was the reply. "My ancestors have been entitled to bare legs for the last 2,000 years."—London Mirror. SEX ATTRACTION. It Is the Controlling Force In About Every Human Effort. We cannot escape from the fact that sex attraction is the great event in human life. Sex is the controlling force in nearly all of human efforts. War, for instance, is only an exaggerated form of the sex instinct. Neither literature nor art would exist in any appreciable degree without sex. Mon work, fight, sing, paint, live and die for the love of woman. In only one field of human activity is there no taint of sex feeling, and that is science. Science is cold and dispassionate. It has imagination, but the imagination of the explorer and not the lover. Science has only one aim and end—the discovery of truth. Science is another world from the hot earth of economic and military competition, which have for their ends the attainment of love and marriage. Through science mankind will gradually throw off some of the sex slavery and reach a new and possibly happier stage in its development. Richmond Times-Dispatch.

It is told of one of the ancient kings of Egypt that his coronation procession occupied a whole day in passing through the city of Alexandria and that 3,200 crowns of gold were carried by the servants. One crown was three feet in height and twenty four feet in circumference. There were also carried in the procession sixty-four suits of golden armor, two boots of gold, four and a half feet in length; twelve golden basins, ten large vases of perfumes for the baths, twelve ewers, fifty dishes and a large number of tables—all of gold. Twenty three of the 3,200 crowns were valued at £334,400 and it is not surprising that the procession was guarded by 90,000 soldiers.—St. James' Gazette.
