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. She wept
for Belgium, she wept for Poland
and she wept for the starving Mexicans."
"Alas! Are her tears still Mowing?"
"Yes. She has just heard that
dogs are mistreated in the city
pound."
HELP WANTED.
"What makes Crimson (?uleh so
strong for woman"wuITrage?"
"Well," replied Broncho Boh,
"somebody ought to vote, an' there's
so much goin' on here that all of us
men folks is either too busy or seared
to."
A GOOD GUESS.
"If that savjige doir over there who
is growling at ua could only talk, 1
wonder what he would sav ahout
UB?"
"I'm sure ho would make some
biting remarks."
LOYAL EVASION.
She?Hilly tolls me that his chief
pleasures are in ornithological
studies. Now is that really so?
lie?I can truthfully testify that
he is certainly very fond of swallows
and larks.
REMORSELESS STATEMENT.
"An optimist is n man who soothes
the understanding."
"Yes," answered the inveterate
punster ; "a kind of cheor-up-odist."

stalks are plowed under In November,
the fungus does not live longer than
six or eight months. 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. Now is the time
to make your seed selections and to
plan your rotation with a view to gettln<r
