The Appeal

In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. Scientific Nomenclature Reduced to Every-Day Meanings. [National Crop Improvement Service.] Stockfood consists briefly of three chief parts or compounds, omitting the water and minerals. They are: Protein (containing nitrogen), a muscle former. Fat (not containing nitrogen), a fuel or fattening substance. Carbohydrates (meaning made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) three substances are called organic matter, because they will burn. Mineral matter is called inorganic. An animal can live on protein alone, but would not under normal conditions, because protein (or albumen) is only found mixed with fat in the case of meat and with fat and carbohydrates in the case of protein and cereals. Familiar examples of protein are white of egg, lean meat and the gluten which can be chewed out of wheat. Fat or oil we all know. Carbohydrates include sugar, starch, cellulose, three gums. nausee, infuse, gums, etc. To keep alive and not lose weight an animal needs have small amounts of protein and large amounts of fat or carbohydrates. They need building material to replace worn-out tissue and flesh and also to furnish power (energy) to move, work, and do all the inside work of the body. The ash or mineral matter furnishes bone material and is also necessary but abundant in nature. A growing animal needs plenty of protein and ash (bone food) and of carbohydrates and fat. A grown-up animal needs less of either the first two, but plenty of the last two. A pregnant animal needs plenty of food for its unborn young. THE MANURIAL INGREDIENTS OF FEEDS. Nitrogen is the most important and most valuable fertilizing element supplied by feeds, and it is in this element that they show the greatest variation. The Connecticut Experiment Station states that it was found that the average mixed fertilizer contained 2.95 per cent nitrogen and showed in a table that eighty of fifty-two different feeds contained 3.93 per cent. Among this list is cottonseed and linseed meals, gluten seed, middlings, brewers' and distillers' products, and a few of the feed mixtures. - It is obvious, therefore, that a wise selection of feeds enhances the value of the manure and consequently plays an important part in farm economy. BARLEY PRODUCTS. [Incorporated Improvement Service.] Prof. J. P. Sutcliffe, in the Annual Report of the Connecticut Agricultural Station for 1912, says: "That malt sprouts should receive more consideration from dairymen, especially in comparison with many of the proprietary mixed feeds containing only from one-third to one-half as much protein as malt sprouts, prices being considered." He also states that dried brewers' grains, prices considered, in connection with the feed's high analysis, is one of the cheapest high-grade feeds on the market. A high-grade mixture is suitable for any kind or breed of dairy cow should have high protein content, with an exact digestible analysis. It can be mixed with corn, oats, barley, hay or other forage, which should be grown upon the farm, provided the mixture would save the farmer any money. As a rule, the ingredients of grains, meat feeds, cottonseed meal, hominy meat feed, cottonseed brews, brewers grains, linseed meal, wheat bread and salt. The best grades contain no cheap fillers of any kind and the food is highly concentrated and roughage can be supplied at home. VOL. 33. NO 37 AID OF GOVERNORS National Defense Council Issues Warning Against Hysteria. STATE CENSUS IS OPPOSED. Area Likely to Be Theaters of War Operations Designated and Recommendations Presented For Road Building-In Certain Contingencies May Fix Food Prices. Washington.-Governors who sought advice from the Council of National Defense concerning their war activities at the national defense conference received their instructions in a detailed statement which covered a hundred phases of the work necessary to get the country in shape for a successful war against Germany. The advice was in the form of answers to stated questions on industrial and military subjects. There ran through the document an apparent warning against hysteria in action which might hamper rather than accomplish the desired results. Here are some of the important points made: First.-The national council recommends that the state councils shall encourage economy and discourage extravagant living and the purchase of luxuries among the people of their respective states. Second.-In regard to the postponement of state or municipal works now under way and not of pressing importance," advises that nothing now under way should be abandoned except under pressing necessity; nor should new projects be started not of pressing importance. Third—The council has not made any suggestion for the postponement in any state of work on co-operative highway projects to such an extent that redistribution of public money will be necessary. Fourth—The taking of a census by states of men for either military or industrial service, supplementary to federal registration—a step which has been contemplated in some other states—was discouraged. On this point the document says: "The council does not desire such a census for the present. It is not needed just now and ready and ready for use would soon be obsolete, or would rapidly changing industrial conditions." Fifth—The council may in certain contingencies fix either or both minimum and maximum food prices if authorized by law, but holds that until legislation is passed it is impossible to make a definite statement. In reply to advice in regard to the road building which would make the location and character of the highway better suited for military purposes, the council furnishes a copy of a letter from Secretary Baker to Secretary Houston giving in detail the areas likely to be the theater of war operations and presenting recommendations as to road building for military purposes. The areas in question are: (a) The area about Long Island, including most of the states of Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York. (b) The area about Cheesapeake bay, including much of the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and Delaware. (c) The Pacific coast area, including California, Oregon and Washington California, Oregon and Washington. (a) The Mexican border, including the northern part of the states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. (c) The great lakes area, including the states of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and parts of Wisconsin and Minnesota. COULDN'T SCARE SAILOR. Officer Told Threatening U Boat Captain to "Shoot Away" London.—Douglas Duff, the fourth officer and the only survivor of the steamer Thracia, sunk by a German submarine that attacked the depositions that three hours after the ship was sunk the German submarine approached the capsized boat, the stern of which had been blown off, to which he was clinging, and asked him the usual questions regarding the destroyed steamer and her destination. It The submarine commander first threatened to shoot Duff, says the fourth officer, who quotes himself as replying, "Shoot away." The commander then said, according to Duff, that he wouldn't waste powder on an enemy ship, but Duff to his fate. He was picked up twelve hours later by a French fisherman. ARMY NEEDS GENERALS. Promotions Expected to Be Made Only Upon Merit Basis. Washington.-The new national army will require about twenty-nine new major generals and more than 100 brigadier generals, according to officials of the war department. There will be a total of thirty-six divisions, each of which will have one major general and four brigadier generals. The army act empowers the president to exercise discretion. The belief prevails that the president and secretary of war both are determined only upon merit and special fitness. This policy would coincide exactly with those of France and England, which are advancing younger men to the higher commands. TERMS USED IN FEEDING [National Crop Improvement Service.] BARLEY PRODUCTS. WHAT'S IN A MIXED FEED? THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN., SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 15. 1917 DOUBLE DUTY A Dairy Ration Has Two Main Uses—Life and Product. [National Grop Improvement Service.] A ration is divided into two parts: 1. The part needed to maintain or keep the animal alive. 2. The part needed to make stored up material like wool, fat, meat or milk. Milk is roughly in solids, one-third each casein (protein), fat and sugar. The casein in milk can only be furnished by the protein in the food. The fat and sugar may be derived from either protein, fat or carbohydrates. If a cow has the ability to give 50 pounds of milk containing two pounds of casein, and only gets enough protein to make one pound of milk, then she will only give 25 pounds of milk. A balanced ration is one that has just the exact amount of protein, fat and carbohydrates that the cow needs. Just what this is we cannot ever say exactly, because the amounts vary from week to week and no two cows are alike, nor are feeds alike. A practical ration is one that has sufficient protein and enough total food to make the greatest amount of milk without the cow losing weight. A commercially successful ration is one that makes the most milk or profit, keeps the cow healthy and enables the most of the mousthough. All the hay and enslaughter .cow can eat will keep her and make about 15 pounds of milk. Any more milk has to come from grain or grain feed. The farm can usually raise carbohydrates cheap in the form of hay and ensilage, and, outside of clover, peas, etc., protein can usually be bought cheaper than it can be raised. The average price of protein feeds with 20 per cent digestible protein was about $25 to $35 per ton before the war, but the prices are much higher now, while hay (clover) with 5½ per cent digestible protein has been rated at $10 per ton, so the protein feed at $40 would furnish protein about the same as clover at $10. DIFFERENT COWS, DIFFERENT FEEDS [National Crop Improvement Services.] No suggestions that we can offer nor any advice that we can be made to be followed to the letter as a druggist follows the prescription of a physician. Feeds vary in their nutritive values, some being better than the average and some not as good, and cows vary in their ability to digest and transform nutritum. These conditions make it necessary for the cattle to be judged of judgment and not follow too blindly suggestions of others. Any good stock is recommended as a base, to be supplemented by home-grown roughage. CONCENTRATES FOR RATIONS Taken from an Article by E. S. Savage, Professor of Animal Husbandry, New York College of Agriculture. [National Grow Improvement Series] A good rule to follow in all rations is to have at least three plants represented in the ration. There are seven factors which should be considered: (1) Bulk, (2) Digestibility, (3) Relation between the digestible protein and carbohydrates and fat, (4) Variety, (5) Suitability of the feeds to the animal and product, (6) Palatability, (7) Cost. As an example, choosing the cheapest feeds relatively, considering manure values, suitability and all, we could recommend the following mixture of grains as suitable for dairy cows at present. 600 pounds distillers dried grains. 400 pounds gluten feed. 200 pounds wheat bran or brewer dried grains. 400 pounds hominy feed. **Professor Henry sent a cow requires three-quarter of an ounce per day per 1000 lbs. of weight and six-tenths of an ounce per day per 20 lbs. milk. Therefore, a cow which weighs 1200 lbs. and gives 30 lbs. milk should have 1.8 ounce salt. It must be remembered, however, that salt is generally included in high-grade dairy feeds: It is well to give cows access to extra salt. They will take what their roughage demands. THE PRICE OF FEED. Feed is handled on a smaller margin than coal, ton for ton. The retail feed dealer who buys in 'carload lots can sell as cheap as the manufacturer can in less-than-carload lots, the difference in freight rates being the dealer's gross profit. In nearly every instance, a group of farmers can order feed through a dealer, in carloads and make a material saving. The difference in weight alone will show a good profit. Take the chill off the drinking water in cold weather and cows will drink more and produce more. Don't figure too on rations, be liberal but don't overfeed. You can kill all of your profit by feeding more than the cow can assimilate. [National Cow Improvement Service.] The human element in dairy feed is important. Two men may have the same equipment, one make good money, the other fail, while both are supposed to be feeding by the same system and the same tables. Horse sense is good cow sense. A RAILROAD ARMY Will Build Up Lines of Traffic In France. They Will Be Part of Regular Force, and They Will Be Head of Each Regiment as Colonel Will Be Engineer Officer of Army—Construction Will Be Main Work. New York—Need for expert railroad men to repair the lines in France is so pressing that an urgent call has been sent out by the railroads war board to the various roads of the country for assistance in organizing nine regiments of railroad men to go at once to France. They will be a part of the regular army, and at the head of each regiment as colonel will be an engineer officer of the army. The army of the board call for five construction regiments, one shop or repair regiment and three operating regiments. Construction will be the main work of the men sent over, but the repair and operating needs are hardly immediate. A notice sent out by the railroads war board says: "The French railways are badly run down. They need more or less complete rehabilitation. France has no men who can be spared for this work. She wants all her men at the front. Before we can can supply to go into the trenches we and we can do it practically want, and we can do it practically. Any men we send over must be soldiers, so it will be necessary for the railroad forces to enter the army. "We propose to make up five construction regiments of six companies each to do this rehabilitation." Each regiment will have an engineer officer of the United States army as colonel and another officer from the army as an adjutant. The other officers will be made up of railroad men, except provided by the United States army. Each lieutenant colonel will be a lieutenant engineer of a railroad or some one else of a experience. The captains will be taken from the engineers of maintenance of way, the lieutenants from supervisors or road masters and the noncommissioned officers from track and bridge foremen. The privates will be track laborers. "The pressing need just now is for officers for these regiments. They will require five chief engineers, thirty engineers of maintenance of way, ninety supervisors and road masters, sixty track foremen and thirty foremen. Each company will have 150 truck laborers and fourteen bridge carpenters as private. "The next important requirement of the French railways is for shop forces. They are short of men to repair their locomotives. It is proposed to organize a shop regiment, to be made up the same way as the construction regiments, except that the lieutenant colonel will be a superintendent of motive engines. The captains will be master mechanics, the supervisors will be shop foremen and the noncommissioned carriers gang foremen. The rest of the company will be made up of boller-makers, machinists, blacksmiths and their helpers." TOY GUNS POPULAR Modeled After Anti-aircraft Weapons Used by Zeppelina. Washington.-Teddy bears and miniature anti-aircraft guns are by far the most popular toys in Great Britain, says Consul Wilson in a report from the United States. Foreign and domestic commerce. Teddy bears have always been more or less popular, but recent events seem to have created a greatly increased demand for this toy. The toy guns are modeled after the anti-aircraft guns which were brought into existence by the visits of the Zeppelina. Toys that find the most ready sale are those of a military character. NEW FORM OF "CON" GAME. Two Inches of Butter Spread on Sand Sold to Chicago Consumers. Chicago, Ill.—A new form of confidence game has been practised with success here during the last few days. Several storekeepers and hospitals have reported to the police that they have purchased from agents tubs purporting to contain sixty pounds of butter, but the police have injected the tubs that the butter extended one or two inches from the surface and that the rest of their purchase was sand. The tubs were sold for as high as $19.50, making the price of the butter in the neighborhood of $4 a pound. FAVORS DAYLIGHT SAVING. President, However, In Doubt as to Necessary Legislation. Washington. — President Wilson expresed his approval of the daylight saving plan to a delegation headed by Representative Borland of Missouri and Marcus Marks of New York, president of the National Daylight Saving association. The president told them the only question in his mind about legislation to carry it into operation was whether the president had him as war legislation, to which he tacitly agreed to limit the session's activities. The subject will be taken up with the leaders. Defective Page THE BEST DAIRY FEED Made From Grain From Which the Human Food Values Have Been Taken. By Prof. F. D. Fuller. The National Copy Improvement Service.) The best dairy feeds are less expensive than the grain feeds on the farm is because the principal elements of human food are taken from these grains before they are ever made into feed. The by-products of cereal mills, glucose factories, malt houses, etc., constitute often more than 50 per cent of the total bulk of mixed dairy feeds of the better class. These oats, barley and corn by-products are considered by experts in animal nutrition as very valuable feed materials. After these cereals are ground in the manufacture of alcohol, for which the use is growing more importantly in the arts, the solid residue is in the vacuo, and is then known as "dried" grain. If made from corn, these grains contain average of about 30 per cent crude protein and 10 per cent crude fat. If made from rye, while valuable, they are of somewhat lower feed value. The barley residue contains over 70 per cent more crude protein than wheat bran and as much as much crude fat. In fact, their food value is largely increased by the process. All these products are widely used by the best dairy feeders and are relied upon very extensively in milk production. There is no doubt of the fact that if the supply of these products, it would be limited or entirely exhausted, it would have a serious effect upon the milk production throughout the dairy industry. dairymmen would have one more burden added to their already overaxed strength. Cottonseed meal is composed principally of the kernel, with such portion of the hull as is necessary in the manufacture of oil. Cottonseed meal, if choice, must contain at least 41 per cent crude protein. It is one of the richest of all feeds in this substance and carries about 8 per cent crude fat. On account of its extreme condition it can be fed only in limited quantity and always in conjunction with such products to furnish bulk. This meal is an important ingredient in many manufactured feeds. HOME MIXED FEEDS. **National Crop Improvement Service.** When man undertakes to mix his own ration in handmade dairy he buys straight feeds. Take cottonseed meal as a common example. There are a great many different grades of cottonseed meal; and the man who is looking for a low-priced feed is sure to get a low grade. The demand for cheap feeding ingredients has caused the quality to be gradually whithed down. Consequently the farmer nearly always works with feeds which are poorer than he believes them to be good and not get adequate state protection because directors do not go to a farmer's barn, samples, and even if they did, it would be hard to get a complete chain of evidence. A farmer has no facilities for having his feed analyzed and he doesn't know what he is working with. The analyses of mixed feeds costs about ten cents per ton, and if every farmer will read the various bulletins from the agricultural colleges he will soon know those brands which can be delivered at upon. There is no doubt that upon the poor grain any farmer can save money in his cereal crops and buying mixed feed. Cornmeal, oil meal and cottonseed meal are all high, but the by-products of barley and rye are all more reasonable in price. Corn has become costly largely due to the demand for pork and beef. Americans will have those meats at almost any price. This puts corn on a meat basis, and the dairy business will have to fall back on the by-products of grains. **GIVE COWS PLENTY OF WATER.** [National Crop Improvement Service.] [National Crop Improvement Service.] When cows are in full milk they require plenty of water. It is stated authoritatively that cows in full flow of milk will consume 50 per cent more water than when dry. Poor feed sells to poor feeders. Only that part of the feed that digest is of use—the rest is mostly fertilizer material. No protein—no casein; no casein—no milk; not enough protein—not so much milk; also not enough feed—not so much food. Foods with the highest protein and highest analysis are usually but not always the cheapest to use. Cows won't make milk out of water and air. [National Crop Improvement Service.] Starchy feeds like corn and oats often sell as high as protein feeds because of the demand for them for horses and other work animals. Starchy feeds are also good to fatten steers. That is why they are often as high in price as dairy feeds, which are strong in protein. [National Crop Improvement Service.] Home-grown grains can often be profitably traded for protein feeds. Whole oats are generally demanded for horse feed, they are nearly always too expensive for dairy feed. Oats by-products, however, are very useful for bulk. MAY EAT OAT BREAD. Bwedes Aak Permission to Sell It Hunger Marches Continue. Stockholm—the Bakers' Association of Sweden—moved its memorial to the state economic commission setting forth the difficulties of obtaining sufficient rye and wheat flour and asking the authorities to permit and to order them to use a certain proportion of oats or barley flour in bread. The bakers assert that the situation indicates with certainty that such a measure must be eventually resorted to and point out the advisability of doing it now instead of delaying until the time when the proportions of barley and oats must necessarily be greater than would be the case now. A body of female factory workers estimated at 5,000 marched recently in an orderly manner through southern and western Stockholm, the largest local milk company, where they demanded a better distribution of milk and lower prices. Hunger demonstrations continue at various places in the kingdom. METEOR LIKE SEARCHLIGHT Crashes Into Mountains and Illuminates Whole Valley. Bishop, Cal.—Illuminating the upper Owens valley for half a minute like a searchlight in the skies, a meteor of extraordinary size and brilliance fared across from east to west one night and brought up against the high Sierra Nevada. There was a crash that could be heard for miles when the foreign body hit the mountain side far above the floor of the valley. It sounded like the impact of a projectile from a great gun against a fort. Residents were startled by the passage of the mighty streak of blue-white fire through the darkness and again by the loud explosion that followed conduction of the granite range which stopped it. Then followed a tumbling of dislodged stones not far from the camp of the Round Valley Tungsten company. MORGAN ON PATROL DUTY. Financier's Son Assigned to Ship Young Jasin Also Erolsie New York—Junius Spencer Morgan, son of J. P. Morgan, who recently received an ensign's commission in the naval coast defense reserve, was called into active service and assigned to duty on a coast patrol boat. Ensign Morgan has always been interested in boats and sailing. Last summer he shipped as an ordinary seaman on the U. S. S. Maline for the civilian training cruise. Adrian Iselin 2d, son of C. Oliver Iselin, who has called many cup defenders to victory, enrolled in the naval reserve as chief boatswain's mate. Nevin, son of the late Ethelbert Nevin, who was the captain of office to enroll. Mr. Nevin came from Tulsa, Okla. As a member of the civilian crew of the Maine last summer he made a record in gunnery. DOG ADOPTS COYOTES. Takes Four Into Her Charge on a Ranch. Santa Ana, Cal.-Four coyote pups have been adopted by a mother dog on the ranch of Arthur Pefey, north of Santa Ana. The coyotes were found in the foothills back of El Modena by Virgil Pritchard, a high school boy, whose dogs fought off the mother coyote while Virgil got away with the little coyotes, Clarence Pefey had a dog with two puppies. The four strangers were put on the ground under the mother and the puppies, who were both engaged in partaking of a meal. Rather bewildered, the coyotes crept to the mother dog. The dog眼 the coyotes, when they approached she began licking them, and soon the coyotes were just as busily engaged in eating as were their cousins. CHARLES P. TAFT 2D ENLISTS With Nine Yale Students Enters Artillery Service. New Haven, Conn.—Charles P. Taft, 2d son of William Howard Taft and a junior in Yale college, enlisted for the artillery branch of the regular army with nine other undergraduates. All the enlistments were of students who were under age for the reserve officers' training corps of the university and all had consent of their parents. The squad will go to Fort Myer, Va. The students who were enlisted with Taft were John M. Anderson, Jr., Cincinnati; Robert T. Cairns, Overbrook, Pa.; George H. Ennis, Jr., Derby, Conn.; John E. Fasick, Altoona, Pa.; Francis F. McNamara, Clinton, Mass.; Cyril B. Mosher, East Greenwich, R. I.; Albert H. Stackpole, Harrisburg, Pa.; H. S. Porter, Higganum, Conn.; Carl M. Thomas, St. Louis. DROWNS BATHING TOY.

LOANS BETTER THAN TAXES Five Reasons Why Excessive Taxes at the Outset of War Are Disadvantageous. Great Britain Example Worthy Enough. The Taxes Should Be Apportioned. On May 23, 1917, the House of Representatives passed an act "to provide revenue to defray war expenses and for other purposes." In the original bill as presented by the Committee Ways and Means, the additional revenue to be derived was estimated at $1,810,420,000. The amendment to the income tax, which was tacked on to the bill during the discussion in the House, was expected to yield another $40,000,000 or $50,000,000. In discussing the House bill, two problems arise: 1. How much should be raised by taxation? II. In what manner should this sum be raised? I. How Much Should Be Raised by Taxation? How was the figure of $1,800,000,000 arrived at? The answer is simple. When the Secretary of the Treasury came to estimate the additional war expenses for the year 1917-18, he calculated that they would amount to some $6,000,000,000, of which $3,000,000,000 was to be allotted to the allies, and $3,000,000 was to be utilized for the domestic war. Thinking that it would be a fair proposition to divide this latter sum between loans and taxes, he concluded that the amount to be raised by taxes was $1,800,000,000. There are two extreme theories, each of which may be dismissed with scant courtesy. The one is that all war expenditures should be deferred by loans, and the other is that all war expenditures should be defrayed by taxes. Each theory is untenable. It is indeed true that the burden of the war should be borne by the present rather than the future generation; but this does not mean that they should be borne by this year's taxation. Meeting all war expenses by taxation makes the war burden of two years bear the burden of benefits that ought to be distributed at least over a decade within the same generation. In the second place, when expenditures approach the gigantic sums of present-day warfare, the tax-only policy would require more than the total surplus of social income. Were this absolutely necessary, the ensuing havoc in the economic life of the community would have to be endured. But where the disasters are so great and at the same time so unnecessary, the tax-only policy may be declared impractical. Secretary McAdoo had the right instinct and highly commendable courage in deciding that a substantial portion, at least, of the revenues should be derived from taxation. But when he hit upon the plan of 50-50 per cent, that is, of raising one-half of all domestic war expenditures by taxes, the question arises whether he did not go too far. The relative proportion of loans to taxes is after all a purely business proposition. Not to rely to a large extent on loans at the outset of a war is a mistake. Disadvantages of Excessive Taxes. The disadvantages of excessive taxes at the outset of the war are as follows: 1. Excessive taxes on consumption will cause popular resentment. 2. Excessive taxes on industry will disarrange business, damp enthusiasm and restrict the spirit of enterprise at the very time when the opposite is needed. 3. Excessive taxes on incomes will deplete the surplus available for investments and interfere with the placing of the enormous loans which will be necessary in any event. 4. Excessive taxes on wealth will cause a serious diminution of the incomes which are at present largely drawn upon for the support of educational and philanthropic enterprises. Moreover, these sources of support would be dried up precisely at the time when the need would be greatest. 5. Excessive taxation at the outset of the war will increase the elasticity available for the increasing demands that are soon to come. Great Britain's Policy Take Great Britain as an example. During the first year of the war she increased taxes only slightly, in order to keep industries going at top notch. During the second year she raised by only 9 per cent, of her war expenditure. She levied by additional taxes (over and above the pre-war level) only slightly more than 17 per cent, of her war expenses. If we should attempt to do as much in the first year of the war as Great Britain did in the third year it would suffice to raise by taxation $1,250,000,000. If, in order to be absolutely on the safe side, it seemed advisable to increase the sum to $1,500,000,000, this would in our opinion, be the maximum. J. Q. ADAMS, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER ST.

CONVERTING THE ESKIMO Christian missionaries seem to have made little headway in converting the Eskimo in the far north, according to Donald B. MacMillan, head of the Crockerland expedition, who has recently returned to New York, after four years in the Arctic. Mr. McMillan was in daily contact with the Eskimos. He finds them lovable and easily managed. The members of the expedition trusted, implicitly the little colony of six families at Eta, base of the expedition, on the northeast shore of Greenland, and never suffered a loss by theft. Yet the same understanding of the Eskimo character has made Mr. McMillan skeptical as to the power of missionary work to better their social standards. "I don't believe the missionaries will be able to change the social customs of the Eskimos very greatly. They are a happy, care-free, jovial people. They are continually laughing. If they see a man in serious thought for more than a few minutes at a time they think something is wrong with him. And, really, they have all the necessary virtues right now. They love each other, they care for each other's welfare, and they protect each other. If one is hungry all are hungry. They have a perfect socialism. "And they are absolutely honest. Our supplies at Eta lay on the ground in plain view of every one in the settlement for four years, and no one ever touched them without permission. In New York after dark they wouldn't remain four minutes before being stolen. "Piblocko't is the word that expresses what the Eskimos think of the world at war, Mr. MacMillan said. It means "run amunck; gone clean crazy." The Eskimos believe that all the white man nations have gone "piblocko't." "I tried to explain," Mr. MacMillan said, "that the war started because Germany wanted to acquire more land, but they wouldn't believe it; they only shook, their heads and said: 'No; that's impossible. There is plenty of land for everybody.' When we were getting ready to leave them they begged us to remain with them. 'Why go back there?'—meaning civilization—they asked us, "where everyone is piblocko't? Stay here with us and be happy." THE APPEAL believes that the missionaries who are trying to "convert" THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgment the countenances o averted, and the he cold, but the sense be sweeter than the world, the counten the hearts of friend I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. the Eskimos are "piblocko," especially those from the United States, who are trying to impose the American brand of jimrow Christianity on them. If they have all of the necessary virtues right now, why waste time and money teaching them the murderous Christianity of America? THE FATHER OF SLAVERY. The first man to advocate the introduction of slaves from Africa into the new world was Bartholomew de las Casas, a Spanish priest, who was born in Seville, Spain, on Aug. 23, 1474. "The father of African slavery in America" first crossed the Atlantic when, at the age of 19, he accompanied his father with Columbus to the West Indies. On returning to Spain, he determined to fit himself for the duties of a missionary and to return to America, "there to spend his days in preaching the gospel to the Indians, and humanity to their oppressors." It was his tender regard for the mis-treated natives that led him to suggest that African slaves be imported to labor in the fields and mines and thus relieve the Indians of a burden they were temporarily unified to bear. His suggestion was followed, and the African slave trade was inaugurated. A dozen times Las Casas crossed the ocean to plead the cause of the Indians at the foot of the Spanish throne. The town of Cumana, in Venezuela, still boasts of an old church in which "the father of slavery in America" preached. Las Casas returned to Spain late in life and died in Madrid at the age of 92. FAILURE TO FIGHT COSTLY That strong defender of true Americanism, the Cleveland Gazette, edited by Hon. Harry C. Smith, a man of whom all Americans may well be proud, printed an editorial in a recent issue which is so accurate an exposition of the costly blunder the colored people have made in failing to fight for their rights that we reproduce it. We trust that every reader will read it carefully and ponder over the truths expressed. "It has not been so very many years since the adoption of the war amendments to the Constitution and the beginning of a systematic effort on the part of our enemies to nullify the effect they were expected to have and its subsequent good. Since these efforts at restriction began, they have grown and multiplied rapidly and much of it has been due to our refusal to fight the issues raised with all our resources, before they became operative. In the South disfranchising constitutions have come, separate or "jim-crow" railroad and street cars, "peanut" galleries in theaters for our men and women, separate bars in saloons, "jim-crow" city parks, swimming pools, schools, "jim-crowism" in dental offices, churches, Y. M. C. A. s., etc. Indeed, there is apparently a desire for a segregation of the races in Heaven, if some of them ever get there. These things have all crept upon us since emancipation and the elevation to a citizenship supposed to be equal to that of all other Americans. We have lost ground, South and North, because we have not fought, and when we have resisted, have lacked leadership, while other supposed leaders have played into the hands of our enemies. As a race, we have been burlesqued, abused and humiliated by the thoughtless (some, members of the race), as well as by those hostile to our interests, simply because there was lacking proper resentment on our part and a determi- "HUMAN NATURE My ear is My soul is sick with ev Of wrong and outrage, There is no flesh in man It does not feel for man Of brotherhood is severe That falls asunder at the He finds his fellow guil Not colored like his ov To enforce the wrong, My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled.

The world loves a MAN, a fighter! on who thinks as much of himself as any other like creature on earth. To such aggressive MEN, unjust restrictions will in the end yield and break down, because they will ever refuse to recognize them. In cases of luxuries of life such MEN will not accept the limitations though they greatly desire them and have the price demanded. In the case of necessities, they will fight restrictions and limit, as far as is within their power, the demand for them. A MAN CAN BE FREE IN A FREE COUNTRY ONLY WHEN HE RETAINS THE RESPECT OF HIS FELLOW CITIZENS TO THE EXTENT HE RECEIVES THE SAME TREATMENT FROM THEM THEY EXPECT FROM HIM!" In a recent speech ex-Senator Elijah Root said: "America's great opportunity was slipping away, but at the eleventh hour we grasped it and found opportunity to restore ourselves. Through it we shall find our national soul and I have faith in God's people, for they are the earth's democracies." The New York mayor's committee for National Defense will start a campaign this Fall for the Americanization of the foreign-speaking people of the city. The slogan is to be: "One city, one loyalty, one people." "The melting pot must be made to melt," said committee members. The colored man has a large part in raising cotton in the South. More than one-third of the cotton farms are cultivated by colored men, either as owner or tenant. DO NOT HAVE FAIR DEAL. Fight and Die for Country But Are Not Given Honor. (From the Christian Register, Boston.) The mutiny of colored soldiers, and the murderous procedure, is peculiarly time. It adds fuel to the flame of hatred. Those who espouse the cause of colored people as against the unfair treatment they suffer by no means are not guilty of their wrongdoing. The crimes are mirred by these soldiers should be brought home to those guilty of them. But it should be recognized, even here, that the soldiers are not given a fair deal. They are allowed to fight for their country and die for it, and they have done so creditably, but they are not given corresponding honor. The soldiers are not given, to colored officers equally with white officers. It is possible that much provocation, if not justification, lies behind the insubordination which does not appear in the published reports. COLORED TROOPS. Baker Says They Will Be Trained in States Where Raised. Washington, D. C.—Secretary Baker of the war department has announced that colored troops drafted into the United States army will receive the same consideration and treatment given them under the rules of the army. They will be drafted in states having camps their own will be trained in them, which means that the Illinois contingent of colored troops will train at Rockford. Units from other states will be assembled and trained with their state troops as separate organizations, the same as is now done in the regular army. Will Be Called Separately. "The rule of the regular army in the matter of the training of the colored troops as separate organizations will be adhered to," said Mr. Baker. "The call for colored men will be postponed "S FOULEST BLOT." is pained every day's report with which earth is filled. it's obdurate heart. in: the natural bond red as the flax the touch of fire. city of a skin own: and having power for such a worthy cause until one of the latter calls, so that they will be called at a separate time, thereby giving an opportunity to the officers at the camps to assemble the organizations of which they are parts they will be at all one time. They will not be called apart, but they will be called separately. May Volunteer for France. "All colored men called in a state which has a cantonment in it will be organized and train there. Provision will be made for the assembling of colored troops from those states which have no cantonments. It has not yet made. An opportunity will be given to colored men among the selecteef forces for service and training in certain lines of communication organizations, which is necessary to form, and it is hoped that an adequate number will volunteer for this military but non-commissioned, but there will be both combatant and noncombatant organizations, just as there are white organizations." Those who volunteer for this sor- vival mission are an early op- portunity to go to France. PRAISES COLORED TROOPS. Major General George Bell, Jr., Issue Statement Houston to Check Disclosure Angered at numerous wild and groundless reports of race riots, which he declared, only serve to cause "hysteria" and precipitate a crisis. Major officials have issued a signed statement. In it he praised the conduct of Company G, the advanced guard of the Eighth Regiment colored, now in camp, but in 1863, the military and high character of Colonel Denson, commander of the regiment. Graduation of Colored Officers Is Deferred. Washington.—The date of graduation of the colored officers training camp at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, is deferred until Oct. 15. Secretary of State announced today. Instruction at the camp will be continued until that date. Indicts Mayor of East St. Louis St. Louis, Mo.—Mried W. Mollman, mayor of East St. Louis, Ill., and his confidential secretary, Maurice Ahern, mayor of thirty-seven others, classed as "highest-ranked" grand jury which has been investigating the race rioting of May 28 and July 2. Presence in office is charged against Mayor Mollman and the jury demands that citizens of East St. Louis secure his resignation as the greatest good he can do his city. Mayor Mollman's secretary is chancellor of the university, rising, in that he ordered cameras of newspaper men and motion-picture employees destroyed. These photographs, the grand jury declares, have been of inestimable value in ascertaining identity of the real offenders. Police Officer Is Indicted for Houston Plots Houston, Texas.-Lee Sparks, the Houston police officer whose alleged assault on Sergt. Baltimore, a colored trooper of the Twenty-fourth infantry, is said to have preceded the riot of August 23, in which seventeen persecutors and twenty-two wounded, has been indicted by the Harris county grand jury on two charges. One indictment charges him with aggravated assault on Sergt. Baltimore. The second charges him murder in connection with the death of Wallace Williams, a colored civilian who was shot to death on the Sunday following the riot. GIVES HAYES "FAIR CHANGE." Charges of Murder Against Matt Hayes in Riot Case Dismissed. Belleville, Ill.-Two charges of murder against Matt Hayes, colored, in connection with the killing of Detectives Coppedge and Wadley by negro rioters on the night of July 1, were Hayes was released on a $2,000 bond. He still is under indictment on a charge of assault with intent to kill. The assistant attorney general said Hayes could be reached whenever he was wanted and that the murder was committed. Hayes would have a "fair chance" and obtain bond. Numerous requests for the release of Hayes have been received. Why Did They Prefer "Colored?" (From the New York Sun.) (From the New York Sun.) “We trust that all of the advocates—learned by the New York Times—are black, North and South—of the use of the word ‘Negro’ as a race term have caught the full meaning of its use at Houston, Texas. At the request of the Twenty-fourth (infantry) terms, the names of the stories cited to refer to them henceforth as “colored” soldiers. They had been de- rided and nagged and goaded by the corrupted use of the word until for- beance ceased to be one of their mirths. The had been a very far-set-uply, only the daily press not as American soldiers, or Americans, no as “Uncle Sam’s Boys” or in any other respectful way, had been designated and and debased in the public. At the time these were the same brands of the other brave, mainly defendants of the American flag—as “Negroes.” Per- ceiving this evil practice and influenced the whole officers of the twenty-fourth-year-old, the authorities of the word “colored,” instead. With the word “colored,” troopers or soldiers would have to be used. A kindizer feeling between the soldiers and the工商ers was to be the result of the two ways of in- terviewing. The word “Negro” to the right, but they were too late. Had the practice obtained prior to their coming in Houston, a different state of affairs might have ensued. The askers of promiscuous, “no” and “indifferent” users were the same word. The request of the troopers and their officers for the change should be a striking example to all Doubting Thomas as to just as the word “colored” was the same way, and, everyday life. Whatever the argument about making it respectable in the future, it decreases respect for the race today. It does not good today, when the same words are that reason, but the more will be called a “Nigger?” Are you pleased to have your wife or mother called a “Negress?” Then discontinue using “Negre.” If you think it worth while, for you are referred to as a man and a man’s folk as a man of HAMPTON AND TUSKEGEE.

"Negroes and Dogs Not Allowed" (From the Nashville Clarion) Down in Houston, Texas are some elevators in public buildings labeled "NEGROES AND DOGS NOT ALLOWED." Generous Classification! Such signs as these account in such measures as the fact that in which the Colored men are depopulating the South. They can be neither blamed nor censured for leaving a house, or have hearts and souls and human pride, just like the people of other races. Must Have a Place in School Our naval training camp has every nationality under the sum. As a red flag to float into the face of the bull, we have Chinamen out there, the Filipino out there, the Greek out there, the Hebrew out there, the Italian out there, and God himself only knows what else out there, but we do know there are near the bathroom with a sink and broom. Space must be made for the boy of the Colored race in the school for which we are paying taxes. The Cause of Migration (Atlanta (Ga.) Independent) When meat was 15c a pound and flour $4.00 a barrel, the colored laborer received from $4.00 to $8.00 a week. Now meat is 30c a pound and flour $16.00 a barrel, he is receiving the same wages. He cannot live at this location. He must remain in the South and live on the starvation wages he is paying him when the fields and the factories in the North and West are offering him living wages. If the white man will live in the rural districts, pay the colored man living wages, give him a square deal on the farms, better schools, open the doors of the shops and factories in the rural districts, and set him in the labor unions, independent (to keep colored men from leaving the South) will be unnecessary. Hates the Term "Negro." "I hate the term Negro because it is being used in terms of hatred. It is the cause of the segregation of the black people in the United States in public places; it is an excuse for disfranchising him; and it is an excuse for lynching him. Only one percent of the colored people in the United States descent to Africa, and there is no more right to call all colored people Negroes than to call all white people Negroes. Ex-Assistant United States Attorney General Wm. H. Lewis, Boston, Mass. Must Judge A Group by its Best. (From the Christian Register, Boston No one can be said to know any class of people who has not been in intimate and sympathetic relation with the best as well as the worst of the best to compare many persons who live in the same place and think they know the colored race, who have had no such contact, but who have come into intimate and sympathetic relations with large numbers of that race whom their Southern friends have never known; and of the other races who should say that the second knew the race better than the first. They know aspirations among them that the others do not know, or, knowing, do not enter into and appreciate; they know capabilities by direct contact with the others of the race; they know others are oblivious of; they know others are oblivious of respect and sympathy can bring out; they know possibilities to which others by their very acquaintance are blinded. If those who know the colored race through the mass and by individual possibilities could know individual possibilities strated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously candid with themselves, they would revise their judgments and possibly soften their prejudices. At any rate, they charge ignorance of the race the values that come from knowing how many of that race are the GOD GIVE US MEN God give us men!

That we much rather be, and associate ourselves, is a saying by Colored men, almost true. That is a mistake; it is a feeling of avowed cowardice and innate inferiority. It is an utter impossibility for the two races to subscribe to a common government, and, in their own saliva, each race work on its own saliva, each race been tried and resulted into a ghostly failure; instead of making for harmony and cordial good feeling between two races, it has increased race hatred and antagonism in leaps of violence, have heeded too long the advice from the more serious leadership that resistance is wrong, that it only breeds race hatred and antagonism; that the thing for us and other rights will inevitably follow, and have been the basis of terms of residence segregation, street segregation, confiscation and loss of property, inter-intermarriage—which is all of the blackest pieces of legislation, since that it leaves the mercy of white brutes — separate from our cars, and even legislating to exclude further Negro immigration. These are the evils resulting from "non-resistance" and "rather be by ours." That with the same degrees of resistance, we form the entire legislation with which our property is confiscated, with this same effrontery and legislation will our political and manhood rights be taken from us. That is a fact. Every congress offers legislation degrading and infiltrating us, being. Race prejudice, therefore, can be used by attrition. We must send our children, and go ourselves, to mixed institutions and other places where we can mix with the other races and consequently become accustomed to the racial prejudice we must WELCOME AND PRACTICE JUXTAPOSITION.

EVERY PERSON who receives THE APPEAL knows whether he or she has paid for it or not. EVERY PERSON who receives THE APPEAL is expected to pay for it; and, it is a violation of honesty, when it is expected to do so. THIS APPLIES TO EVERY ONE, WITHOUT EXCEPTION. Are you, reader, honest, honorable and lawabiding? Think about it. There is no law to compel any one to receive a newspaper who does not wish to do so, but there is a law that compels one to pay for a newspaper if it is received. There are many persons who receive THE APPEAL as regularly as it is issued, but who have failed to pay it. Think about it. Don't stop thinking about it, either, but kindly come to the office and pay what you honestly, honorably, legally owe. There is not one single subscriber on our list who is ACTUALLY UNABLE to pay for the paper if the desire to do so is strong enough. There is no desire or intention to offend any one, but if this article is marked with a blue pencil it is to refrain that YOU owe for THE APPEAL. Please come or send to the office, Court Block, 24 E. 4th street, suite 301-302, third floor, and pay what you owe. Take floor. Few readers of newspapers fully and clearly understand the law governing subscriptions. Below are the decisions of the United States Supreme Court upon the subject: Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary when subscription expires, are considered as wishing to renew their subscription. If we fail to provide a discontinuance of their periodicals the publisher may continue to send them until all dues are paid. If the subscriber continues to take the periodical from the postoffice to which it is directed, or receives it from the carrier, he is responsible until he has settled his bill and ordered the paper discontinued. If subscribers move to other places with the publisher and the papers are sent to the former address the subscriber is held responsible. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking it, otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, and the subscriber will be responsible until express notice with payment of all arrearages is made FURNITURE AND HOME FURNISHINGS DUY OUTELL BROTHERS' ARGAINS DECAUSE DEST TERMS TO SUIT MARQUETTE AVE. AT FIFTH MINNEAPOLIS SUBSTITUTES FOR MONEY. Trader Will Take Almost Anything in Lieu of It. Cottonwood Falls, Kan. — Robert Younggreen, a merchant in the little town of Thurman, a trading point in the southeastern part of this county, twenty miles from the nearest railroad point, has a habit of recalling pioneer days. If money is not forthcoming for merchandise secured at the store Younggreen is not backward in accepting substitutes. Coyote scalp, gopher scalp, crow eggs and crow heads are his favorites. A coyote scalp is accepted as $1, a gopher at 5 cents and crow heads a cent apiece. The county bounty on these pelts and the long distance from the county seat explain the unusual "money" accepted. When Younggreen has a good supply on hand he mails or brings them to the office of the county clerk and is paid the legal bounty, the same value as he has already bounty out to his friends. DID HIS BEST TO ENLIST. Patriotic Youth Placed Small Cotton Pad Under Each Heel. Albany, N. - Trying to boost his five feet three inches up to the standard required for military service, Willis Hartman, a patriotic youth from Glenwood, near here, tried a form of elevation that almost got by the United States marine corps recruiting officers here. Willis went through without a flaw until he stripped to be examined for scars, when the doctor discovered several layers of adhesive plaster and a small cotton pad under each heel that gave a "French heel effect" to the would be warrior. When it was removed he lacked one inch of meeting the required height. "I don't want to be a slacker," so I tried my best to enlist," said Hartman when he was rejected. "The scheme would be all right, too," he added, "if I could only make it stick." REFUSE TO FIGHT. Advantista Declare Religion Bare Them From Battles. Washington.-Seventh Day Adventists have notified the war department that their religion will not allow them to participate in the war between the United States and Germany. The declaration adopted by the executive committee of the North American division conference sets forth that, although believing in the principles upon which this government is founded and acknowledging that it should receive the support of its citizens, the Adventists are "compelled to decline all participation in acts of war and bloodshed as being inconsistent with the duties enjoined upon us by our Divine Master toward our enemies and toward all mankind." GIRL NOT LEFT BEHIND HIM. Soldier Said Goodby, but She, In Fighting Garb, Followed. Pittsburgh.—Disguised as a soldier in the hope of being near her sweetheart, Marion Nestor, eighteen, of Wooddawn, rode on the Eighteenth regiment troop train 150 miles before she was discovered. Weeping, she was placed aboard a train for home. Lieutenant Ottman W. Freeborn of Company K, his suspicions excited by the appearance of one soldier, took off the suspect's hat. Long brown hair fell about the shoulders and face of a pretty but frightened girl. Miss Nestor said that when Stewart Walthour, nineteen, of Wooddawn, was called with his regiment she wanted to go too, she bade her goodby and left. She decided to follow. DR. FINLEY VISITS FRANCE. He Carries Message to Schools of Sister Republic. Albany, N. Y.—The regents of the university of the state, with the approval of Governor Whitman, authorized the commissioner of education. John H. Finley, to make a brief visit to France for the purpose of seeing the schools and observing what they are doing for the nation in war time. The University of France was organized on much the same lines as the University of the State of New York. Dr. Finley is permitted by President Wilson to carry his gifts to the schoolteachers and school children of France and is the bearer of many other messages to those who are doing their brave part back of the line. FARMERS FIRE ON BALLOON Appeal Made to Stop Practice, Which Imperils Army Aircraft. Omaha, Neb.—An appeal to farmers and others throughout this territory to refrain from shooting at balloons was issued by Captain H. J. B. McElgin of the balloon corps at Fort Omaha, who announced that, such acts subject the perpetrators to severe penalties. Many balloons are being sent up from Fort Omaha every day for the purpose of training air service recruits. Captain McElgin said shooting at these balloons seemed to have become popular. Sees His First Show. Blufton, Ind.-J. W. Wetrick-came to this country from Germany thirty-five years ago, settling at Vera Cruz, a village east of here. In all of this time he never left his home town until recently, when, accompanied by a daughter, he visited relatives at Wolcott, Ind. On his way home he stopped at Fort Wayne and witnessed a show, the first of his life. He said he enjoyed his first ride on an interurban car and the "sights" on the short journey. 3753-55-57 CEDAR AVE., MINNEAPOLIS HIGH GRADE SPECIALISTS IN SANITARY WET WASH AND DRY WASH FAMILY LAUNDERING OUR WORK OUR BEST ADVERTISEMENT.

For the information of those who may desire to know of the conditions facing the telephone industry at this time, the following statement is issued by the Northwestern Telephone Exchange Company. Since the very beginning of the war, the government's requests for telephone equipment have had precedence over private requirements and government telephone calls have had right-of-way over all private messages. At an expense—in the aggregate hundreds of thousands of dollars—comprehensive telephone systems have been provided for training camps, and lines of communication have been installed between military AMERICAN TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPHY CO. LOCAL LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE BELL SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES headquarters, mobilization posts and commissary depots. Telephones and special lines have also been supplied for the troops at bridges, grain depots and other places being guarded. In addition to the government's use of our service, increased business activity incident to the war has placed further demands upon our telephone facilities. We are handling over 90 per cent more long distance calls than we did before the war and the number of local calls, particularly in the larger cities, has greatly increased. The long distance telephone facilities out of the city of Washington have been more than doubled since the war began and in all the principal centers both the local and long distance equipment has been greatly increased in an endeavor to handle the heavy telephone burden caused by war and attack. Nearly 3,000 skilled telephone engineers and maintenance men from the Bell system alone have been organized into signal corps battalions for service with the armies in the field. Many more of our men are with the national guard and in other branches of the country's military service. The situation confronting us has caused great difficulty in getting and installing equipment for the most urgent needs. Our long distance facilities are loaded to most capacity and our local service in some localities is suffering on account of the conditions over which we have no control. As the war continues the government's requirements for trained telephone men and for service and equipment are increasing. The present business activity is also likely to be extended as the war goes on. In the interests of all, we hope that our patrons will ask for no additional equipment unless absolutely essential to the conduct of their business and that they will put every possible restraint on the unnecessary and extravagant use of our local and long distance service.
