And the main thing to be sold for
them Is that they are very useful, be
rause every one of them exmesses
poignantly an Important thought. The
purpose of language la to convey
thought, language that conveys a
thought most effectively to the most
people, especially at a time when
clearness and deflnlteness of thought
ire mo Important as now, Is the best
language to use.
"Hun" Isn't likely to go out of use
so long as Americans remember Bel
gium and northern France and the
bombing of cities and the destruction
of churches by long-distance guns and
the work of the submarine. Not to
speak of the rare availability of the
.word for the uses of head writers, who
have he(lp?d to make It common, the
connotnttons of th?? word lit so ae
curately the common opinion of the
character of the Germans an devel
oped In this war that there Is small
chance of Us retirement.
"Over the top" has been worked
hard In the same connection, used aft
er a quota has been tilled; and In that
sense wenrlness of It has led to 11^
graduaf disuse. Moreover, there Is like
/V 'y 1? he leas trench warfare and more
wnrMn the open henceforth, and as
"over the top" means a leap of the at
tacking force out of Its trench this Is
the phrase most likely to be dropped.
Yet. Its tdgnificance In stouthearted
valor and daring among those who
have gone "over the top" Is so deep
that It will never be forgotten 6y them
or by us.
"Doing your bit" It Is well enough
to retire, not because It has been over
worked, but because it has been mis
understood. In Britain, where It start
ed, It means "doing your share." It
doesn't mean doing "a little bit.-" ? It
means doing all you can. But our
sense of the word having that- large
difference, it Isu't a good phrase for
us to use, and we should retire it on
a pension and substitute "do your ut
most."
"Carry on," another British phrase.
Is splendidly and nobly Anglo-Saxon
and should not be sacrificed for any
consideration. When the British at
Mons and after were overpowered and
overwhelmed and outnumbered and all
but crushed by the enemy's superior
ity in strength and equipment they
simply "carried on" and so made the
reversal at the Murne possible. What
ever betides, however black the houc
may grow, however hopeless the out1
look may seem, It Is the Anglo-Saxon
habit to "carry on" and the courage
and persistence It stands for have
plucked victory out of many a defeat.
"Carry on" will have won this war; so
let us. who share the same spirit with
our British cousins, never forget the
word and th<? spirit It stands for.
"Strafe," being German, we could
spare readily enough, as well as the
spirit <>: \oiiom and hate that it sig
nifies.
Words don't win or lose wars. Let
us launch our "drive" "over the top."
each man "doing his hit," and let us
"carry on" until wo "strafe" the "Hun"

? GATHERING OF CROP1 , DATA
.
| Information Showing How T(?oroufl?
Is the Work of tho Oepsrtinent
of Agriculture.
At) outllue of the organization do
? veloped in the department of agrlcul*
ture through (BQft than half ? century
1 of experience In crop estimating. Indl*
? CStlng the ritrr tttttl thorooghne?* with
which government ctop report* are
prepared, la given Id the annual re
port of the Secretary"- of agriculture.
For collecting original data tho bu
reau of crop estimates toss two main
sourcesi of Information?voluntary re
porters and salaried held ugems.^The
voluntary force comprises 33.743 town
ship reporters, Ott# for each agricul
tural township; 2,753 county reporters,
w hii re|K>rt monthly or oftener on
county-wlde conditions, basing their
estimates on personal observation. In
qulry and written reports of aids, of
whom there are about 5.800; 19 special
lists of co-operators, aggregating 137,v.
000 names, who report on particular
products, such as live stock, cotton,
wool, rice, tobacco, potatoes, apples,
peanuts, beans and the like; and 20,
1Q0 field aids. Including the best In
formed men In each state, who report
directly to the salaried field agents of
the bureau. The total voluntary staff,
therefore, numbers approximately 200,
000, an average of about 00 for each
county and 4 for each township. The
reporters, as a rule, are farmers. They
serve without compensation, sod are
selected and retained on the. lists bo
cause of their knowledge of local con
ditions, their public spirit, and their
lntereot In the work. All except coon
ty and field ald9 report directly to the
bureau, and each class of reports Is
tabulated and averaged separately for
each group and state.
Girl Farmers.
South Bethlehem, Pa., probably bad
one of the most active organizations
of the woman's land army In the entire
United States during the summer Just
ended. Farmers In that locality In
many instances reaped the largest
crops In history, and they praise the
conHclentlous and efficient work, of the
girls and young women who assisted
them as among the best help they ever
had.
J'ltchlng hay Is really a man's Job,
but the girls on the farms near Beth
lehem were ready to try any kind of
farm work, and made a fine record In
harvesting the hay crop. The work
for which they showed themselves
best adapted, however, was horticul
tural. They were Invaluable In the
truck gardens, weeding onion patches,
picking berries, bunching asparagus
and doing the various other odd Jobs
that must bo done to keep gardens
productive and neat.
Soturday night meont a time of rest
for the girls, and they celebrated with
"sings" ordinarily. They nlso gave oc
casional vaudeville and minstrel shows
and dinner parties. Many of them are
college girls and have gone back to
?chool, but others are engaging In oth
er forms of work during the fall and
winter season.
Almanach De Gotha.
Wo pity the colleague who at pres
ent has to edit the Almanach de Qotha,
the directory of all courts. The next
edition, which, by the way, had almost
been ready for the printer when the
great tumbling of thrones happened
and therefore will have to be radically
revised and will look very different. We
cannot imagine that tho good people
who used to place the bible of aris
tocracy and the court directory on the
most conspicuous shelf of their book
case will ever again have the desire to
Inquire "who is who?"
No fewer than 278 names belonging
to former reigning princes will be
missed. And those are of the ruling
families of Germany exclusively; not
to mention the Turks, the Greeks, the
Bulgarians, etc. The new almanach,
which no longer will have to speak In
cringing humility of the Uohenzollern,
the Wlttelsbachs of Bavaria, the Zaeh
rlngers of Baden, the Coburgs and the
Schaumberg-Llppes Is a list of war
gains. Of course, it does not compen
sate entirely for all the sacrifices
which hundreds of thousands of better
men had to sufTer before these 278
highnesses of dlvlno right were per
mltted to become ordinary mortals, !
but it is. nevertheless, one fruit of oor j
victory. And the house-cleaning still j
goes on.?German Democracy Bulle> j
