Crying Peace When There Can 
Be No Peace. 
“The men who are speaking 
and writing and printing argu- 
ments against the war now, and 
against everything which is being- 
done to carry on the war, are ren- 
dering more effective service to 
Germany than they ever could 
render in the field with arms in 
their hands. The purpose and 
effect of what they are doing is so 
plain that it is impossible to resist 
the conclusion that the greater 
part of them are at heart traitors 
to the United States and wilfully 
seeking to bring about the tri- 
umph of Germany and the humili- 
ation and defeat of their own 
country.” 
“Anybody,” he said in sub- 
stance, “who speaks against the 
government or obstructs its poli- 
cies in the prosecution of the war 
against Germany is a traitor at 
heart and wants Germany to win. 
“Everyone was privileged to 
express an opinion on the advis- 
ability of the war before hostili- 
ties were declared. After the 
United States entered the war, 
discussion was closed” — Elihu 
Root. 
“I do not. think that I am 
an alarmist, niv friend ; I have 
tried to view the situation calmly 
•and without passion, but I am ful- 
ly convinced that we are in the 
valley of decision, and that the 
great Armageddon between auto- 
cracy and democracy is on. In 
that great battle we cannot choose 
what side to take ; there is but 
one side for Americans. Liberty 
is their birthright. Freedom’s 
cause was bequeathed to them by 
sires who died at Lexington and 
Valley Forge and Yorktown that 
this great nation might live. 
Their voices come to us down the 
long years that have passed since 
then and they plead with us to 
keep the faith. 
“The little people of the world 
stretch out their arms to us and 
appeal to us for protection ; from 
the stricken cities and fields of 
Belgium and Servia and France, 
from the white lips of starving 
children and the gaping wounds 
of murdered women there comes 
the cry of outraged humanity to 
America, the great, the prosper- 
ous, the free ; and thank God, 
America has heard the cry and is 
girding her loins for the conflict. 
She cannot lose for she fights for 
the Eternal Cause of Human Lib- 
erty. — Hon. J. B. Winslow, Chief 
Justice State Supreme Court. 
Potato “Dont’s.” 
1. Don't injure the selling and 
storing quality of your potatoes 
by careless digging. 
2. Don’t glut the fall market 
and injure your winter market by 
placing large quantities of un- 
graded stock on the market at 
harvesting time. 
3. Don’t ship any frost-dam- 
aged potatoes. It is disastrous. 
4. Don’t demoralize the already 
overburdened transportation fa- 
cilities by shipping cull potatoes. 
Unless potatoes are extremely 
high in price, culls will not bring 
transportation charges. 
5. Don't overlook the advan- 
tages of “machine sizers.” They 
are proving of great value in 
many shipping sections. 
6. Don’t expect machine sizers 
to grade for quality — only human 
hands can grade out the defective 
tubers.
