????????? ?m^rn HOLLAND IN BAD STRAITS Hard for Little Monarchy to Maintain Neutrality and Keep ite Ancient Friendships. To the man in Ihe street in Amsterdam or Rotterdam neutrality means "the hell of war without the compensating glory." Holland at large has now the care of three hundred thousand Belgian refugees, who, living together in specially constructed villages, have to he fed and lodged ami kept as happy as circumstances olTow. The work is done with devotion, hut the glory of war is absent. On all sides danger still lurks. Fiercer than ever. Eu ropoan conflagration burns about this single spot. With its commerce hampered upon all sides, with its legitimate trade made impossible bv the illegitimate rules of arbitrary neighbors, Holland continues in its self-imposed task. She has been abused bv her neighbors for her lukewarmncss in what they consider a holy cause, she has lost all chances of future political reward by her abstention from the conflict; vet future generations will recognize that during those very difficult days little Holland calmly maintained a just neutrality while ministering to those who innocently were made to sulTer.?Hendrik Van Loon, in Century Magazine. YOUTHFUL VICTIMS OF WAR Grim Toll Is Levied on the Beet of the Citizens of Countries Involved In Strife. War's toll is taken in the flesh of youth. It is the future of the land, not its past, that follow^ the flag to death. More tears are shed for sons than for fathers, husbands or brothers. It is not only from among those of greatest youthful vigor that war does its recruiting; it sacrifices many who are still mere children. Midshipmen of fifteen are going uown wun tueir snips in every naval engagement of the present war. Others hardly older are tilling the ranks of the infantry and guides. Our Civil war was fought by armies in which the average age of enlisted men was only nineteen and of officers hut twenty-three. In any country which raises its troops through voluntary enlistment hoys are lawnd to lie in the majority. Koi it is youth which rushes to the colors without a thought of the horror that lies ahead, without the outstretched hands of dependents to hold it hack. One sickens when he contemplate* what this slaughter of Europe's youth means to he future of science, art and business. We shall never know what a wealth of hudding genius withered at the cannon's mouth. ?New York Mail. A WORLD OF WOE. "A sympathetic woman.

When fall plowing and rotations are practised the disease can readily be eliminated provided disease-free seed are used when cotton is again planted on the land. Seed free from the disease should always be used for planting. It is best to get these from a field where there is no anthracnoee. Hut If this Is impossible. seed should be selected from stalks which are free from disease and which are not near diseased stalks. Anthracnose ran also be spread at the gin and care should be taken in ginning seed for next year's planting. If the gin has previously been used to gin diseased cotton, it should be thoroughly cleaned out. Anthracnose can be prevented entirely by crop rotation and careful selection of seed.
