THE ALIEN WHO LIVES IN FEAR
One reported yesterday that he had a neigh
bor, a young man who is trying to get on in the
world, who is living in dread that he may be cal
led to the colors of his country in Europe. He
has been even told, since he is not an American
citizen that the foreign government can send an
agent here and take him back into the army.
And his American neighbor believes this also.
It seems necessary again to state that any man
is safe on American soil whether he is a citizen
made or not. There is no European country
that can come and take him. The flag of the
free is over him and protects him. If he were a
fugitive from justice he might be taken out of
this country, but no man can be taken out of
this country except for an extraditable crime,
whether he is a citizen or merely a resident.
The young man of foreign birth, who is try
ing to get on in this country may count himself
entirely safe. All he has to do is to go on get
ting on here. He does not have to go back, even
if the war should last for years, and he cannot
be taken back the only way to get into the ar
my of his native country is by voluntarily offer
ing up himself and while a man may owe some
thing to the country of his birth, he owes, we
believe, more to his family and home in America
and there are enough poor devils in Europe
now for "cannon fodder."
O
WILSON DOWN ON HYPHENATED
AMERICANS
The president has put his foot down on dele
gations of Americans with hyphenated names
who. want to call upon him to protest against
this or that nation in Europe. He says he will
receive no hyphenated Americans. He says a
man is either a Frenchman, a German, a Belg
ian, an Austrian, a Russian, an Englishman, or
he is an American. Ho cannot be a German-
American or a French-American or any other
kind of an American except a plain American.
No American citizen can appear before him and
make complaints against any one of the Euro
pean combattants as such a hyphenated-Amer
ican, and if he is an American citizen he ought
to be observing the neutrality which has been
proclaimed and not puplicly take part in the war
whatever his private opinions may be.
The president is right in this also and it is to
be hoped that his advice w ill be heeded. We all
have our opinions and our sympathies.which are
apt to be along blood lines, but vc should refrain
from expressing them in such manner as to em
orou me (inioroui racial elements in our own
country. A man who wants to light should not
do so with his mouth in America, lie should
go to Europe and enlist in the proper army. We
should have other business here than washing
oui Europe s uniy linen or iiiood stained gar
ments of Hie present.

since most of the wealthy class have made their
expenditures there, and on a liberal scale. Per
sons sullVring from rheumatism are the most
numerous among these patients and money
spenders.
Rut Americans are now nit olF from all ac
cess to foreign .prings and they will be turned
toward the springs on their own land and these
are abundant enough and as oIl'iciuMous as those
of Europe, if not more so.
A few years ago an Oregon man went to one
of the German springs and while there consult
ed a doctor, a doctor who happened to know a
bout Oregon waters. The doctcr promptly told
him that he need not bae made so long a jour
ney, that right al his nw n door at Hot Lake and
various other place.-., there was running water
to waste, that had i.ll the qualities of the water

theory that the pot g.,d jrt at the foot of the

things at home.
complain that they do not know what to do with
their apples, since the export demand for them
has stopped. In Iowa, often, we do not know
where to get good apples cheaply. In Oregon
they are rotting in the orchards, in Cedar Rap
ids the Oregon apples are selling for five cents
a piece on the fruit stands. The problem of dis
tribution comes in again and it is always the
biggest part of the food problem, for the aver
age consumer pays two and three and even five
times as much for what he eats as the average
producer gets for it."
We hope that the Oregon apple and the Iowa
stomach may be brought together into intimate
contact. Apples, we are told, are the best of
human food. A noted analysist says that two
ounces of apple contain as much energy as an
ounce of wheat bread. If that is true, and it is
scientifically proved, then a six-ounce apple is
the equivalent of three slices of bread, the apple
weighing six ounces on an average and the slices
one ounce. An apple, is, therefore, three times
as good for your child, or for yourself, as the
slice of bread. The apple contains the sugar
and the starch, about six to ten, but not the fat
and nitrogen, but the apple has what the flour
has not, cellulose and certain acids which the
human system craves and requires.
The command to eat fruit is, therefore, an
imperative one and it cannot be violated without,
injuries to the human system. In good old days
when the writer was a "kid" in Iowa, every fam
ily cellar had an ample supply of apples for win
ter use, but the old orchads have died out, many
of them, and they have been neglected because
the planting of wrong varieties of trees, and the
habit of not caring for them, has convinced the
people of Iowa that it is not an apple state. But
if Oregon has the apples referred to in the above
caption from the Cedar Rapids paper, the people
of Iowa can afford to trade some of their corn
for good red apples and they will be the gainers,
while the growers of Oregon apples will be glad
to dispose of their surplus apples in this way.

"HEAVEN ON EARTH"
The Bulletin issued by the State Agricultural
College states that one farm in four keeps beesr
Bees have been known to mankind for a long
time, in fact they are often mentioned in the
Scriptures, evidently showing that the value of
the bee was known at that time and heaven has
long been pictured as a place "flowing with milk
and honey."
A bee is a wonderful insect. Maurice Maet
erlinck, the great Belgian writer who has been
in the public eye considerable ot late, has writ
ten a masterpiece under the title, "The Life of
the Bee." Bees he states possess wonderful in
telligence. Bees understand the law which Ad
am Smith defined as "The Law of Deminishing
Returns," and which simply means that when
you get too much of a thing, instead of getting
a benefit you get a disadvantage. They under
stand that when a hive gets too big for the good
of everybody, that the hive should swarm and
whether they shake dice to see who has to go,
we do not know, but in any event we know that a
part of the hive migrates and makes a new
swarm.
A bee is a natural and intelligent worker and
with a bit of co-operation on man's part he will
accumulate considerable wealth in a year's time
in the shape of honey. Years ago we simply
allowed the bee to collect honey promiscuously
and where his instincts prompted him to depo
sit it. We now furnish him a respectable place
to live and lo and behold we find that instead of
marketing three or four dollar's worth of honey-
yearly, we have doubled and trebled that am
ount and also bettered the product.
Boost are best adapted to intensive agriculture
and intensive agriculture is differentiated from
ordinary agriculture as nubbins are from the
full oars of corn. No farmer is making the
nest use of his time who neglects to have a few
swarms of boos on the place. Getting some
thing for nothing is very near possible with
ieos. in fact more so, than with anything else
Success often depends upon the extra effort or
