ALIKE IN THEIR FEr?LING< Sample of the Unhappy Condition; Created by the Great Conflict In Europe. They were sitting in a cafe neai Washington square. On the tabh "between them lay a "war extra" witl .^taring headlines. The big, blon< man, a typical Teuton, wo? talking1 loudly with manv gestures; th? small, dark mnh, unmistakably Gal lie, usiencu?save lor an occasiona i flash of the eye?with apparent calm. Two later comers at a ncarbj table watched them. "Do you understand German?' esKed one. "Can you tell me what the big fellow is saying?" "1 can make out moat of it," replied hia companion, 'and I know who the men are: Johann Schuh and Pierre Dumont." "Jove!" exclaimed the first, as the big man leaned forward and pounded the table vehemently, "he'll lx pitching into the little chap next.'' "Oh, no," suid the other spectator, "tin- two agree to a dot. Johunn is calling the Germans "Lunipe" and "Diebe" and "verdammtc Schweine" and about every othei al)usive name he can lay tongue to. Queer, isn't it, when he; can speak hardly a word of any other language but German? But, you see, he happens to be an Alsatian. His national hymn of hate is directed accordingly.? New York Evening Tost. a PROFITS OF SHEEP MEN CUT Depredations of Dogs Cause Immense Annual Loss to the Raisers of the Animals. Thirty-six of the states of the Union arc el ssified as agricultural states. The United States department of agriculture has recently completed an estimate of the number of sheep killed by dogs every year. The estimate is based upon figurcH collected for 1913. It shows that in the 30 agricultural states the annual loss totals 107,760. Ohio's loss reaches 15,500 yearly; Indiana, 12,000; Iowa, 11,000; Kentucky, 6,600; Illinois, 1,920 and other states in proportion. The total loss compared with the number of sheep shown by the 1!) 10 census seems small. It is less than one per cent of the sheep population of the country. However, that sheep grower who is getting a return of five ]>cr cent on his investment, taking one year with another, is doiug well. This makes a loss of one per cent loom up dangerously. Nor is the loss of one per cent from dog depredations the worst feature of the situation. The dread of what dogs may do to the flock is preventing any increase in sheep keeping. To the question, "What causes are preventing an increase in sheep raising?" 531 of 804 growers answered "Dogs!" MORE PRECIOUS THAN LIFE.

War is a stimulus to science, and this is reflected very strikingly it matters pertaining to the relief ol ."the wounded. The search for and extraction of fragments of shells i? no simple matter, although surgical endeavor has been facilitated by the perfection of the X-rays. "Hut these are insufficient. A bullet may be located speedily, hut the difficulty is to ascertuin its precise position by the probe and lancet. As a result of study and investigation a simple and effective method of discovery has been perfected, which may he described as telephoning for bullets. Ordinary telephonic receivers are clamped over the surgeon's head, one wire being led to a carbon plate and the second wound round .the knife, probe, needle, forceps or whatever instrument is used. With this implement the search is made, and directly it conies into contact with.' say, a bullet, n distinct click is heard on the telephone. If the instrument is ruhlxil across the surface of the buried object a rattle is observed, and by following this eluo j it is possible to withdraw the bullet | or fragment of metal. The idea u by no means new, inasmuch as it was employed for tlie first time dur- j ing the Boer war; but the present campaign has served to bring it to a high state of perfection.

ANNUAL MEETING OF AMERICAN PLOWMEN National Farmers' Union Renders Ur* selfish Service to Agriculture. By Peter R?.Jford. rne National Farmers' Union will hold its annual convention In Llncolr Nebraska, on September seventh, and will round out the eleventh year ot Its activities In the interest of thf American plowman. When that ccn vention is called to order every farmer in America should pause and bow his head in honor of the men gath ered there to render a patriotic and unselfish service to agriculture. Thai organization, born in the cotton fields of Texas, has grown until geographically it covers almost the whole of the United States and economically it deals with every question in which the welfare of the men who bare their backs to the summer sun are involved. It has battled for a better marketing system, rural credits, cheap money, divcrsiilcatlon, scientific pro duction, agricultural legislation and has carried on its wcrk of education and cooperation In season and out.

Without organization the farmers can I neither help themselves nor be helped by others and through urganization and systematic effort all things are possible. The farmers of the United States contribute more and get less from government than any other class of business. Thoy have better securities and pay a higher rate of interest than any other line of industry. They market more products and have less to say in fixing the price than any other business and they get more , political buncombe and less constructive legislation than any other class of people. The farmers can only acquire such influence In business, in government and in economics bs will enable them to share equitably the fruits of their labor through organization and every farmer on American J soil who desires to help himself and ; his fellow plowmen should rally around the Union. > PHILIP Philip, the Macedonian King, while 1 drowsy with wine was trying a case and the prisoner after sentence was pronounced, exclaimed, "I appeal.
