APPLE GROWERS SHOULD AD
VERTISE IN CITY PAPERS.
In the current Issue of Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper pub
lished at Hprlngfleld, Ohio. Herbert
Quick, editor of that publication, writ
ing about the apple market, nays that
people who are seeking to economize
In war times should have their atten
tion directed to the apple as a cheap
and wholesome substitute for things
which have gone up in price. Ho
continues:
"The organized apple growers should
made an advertising campaign in the
city papers. Tench the people the
value of apples us a food.
'• 'An apple a day keeps the doctor
away,' It Is said, and there Is no doubt
that this king of all fruits has great
dietary value.
"Co-operative buying clubs should
be encouraged to buy and store apples
while they are cheap."
OF GREAT MERIT.
We reach the conclusion that Ger
many Is satisfied that such help ns is
coming from America will not reach
those of the ltelgians who are still re
sisting her; that, practically, Amer
ican citizens are relieving the conquer
ors of the task of caring properly for
those they hate vanquished, but cer
tainly, this should deter no one In
this country from trying to give com
fort and relief to those who need It.
Neutrality msy be strictly construed,
but we do not Imagine that the "march
of civilisation" has gone quite so far
an to cut out kindness and brotherly
love Americans want to help the Bel
gians because they are suffering and
need it. The call of human suffering
and human love must be answered. If
we construe these errands of merry as
aid for or against Germany and ohould
withhold further help on the ground
of violating neutrality, we would be
sutlty of violating a much higher and
more Imperative law than the law of
neutrality.
THE NEUTRALITY PROBLEM.
The New York World thinks there
Is a derided problem In neutrality
growing out of the efforts
leans to extend relief to the starving
and homeless inhabitants of that once
happy and prosperous little land. "If
we feed and clothe the Belgians us
patriots, we prolong their defense and
strengthen the allies. If we feed and
clothe the Redglans as German cap
tives. we relieve their conquerors of s
mighty teak properly chargeable lo
them by all the laws of war. What
Is neutrality?" says The World.
Count von Bernstorff has Informed
the state department that the German
government will not Interfere with the
transportation to and distribution of
relief supplies In Belgium, hut the
question arises that Germany might
have a well-founded reason for ob
jecting If the efforts of Americans to
give relief to the Belgiums could en
sile them to make their last stands
against the hostile army more pro
longed. The World inks these ques
tion*:
When a great nation sets out to ex
tinguish a small nation, are not those
who attempt l>y the kindly ministra
tions of charity to rescue the smalt
nation acting In violation of neutral
ity?
Great Bn mm and France have gone
to the support of Belgium with arms
tn their hands. Is the United States,
which appears with money, food, cloth
ing and inedtea! supplies for a people
fiercely hoattle to Germany, any the
leaa an ally?

"All right. Paul," said Frank. "I'm
willing to forget It. and as for the
fizz', you're on, for 1 sure need a

The next day being Sunday, Van
Buran had Invited several persons

to spend the day. Frank and Helen
had been Included in the Invitation,
\ but Frank didn't wish her to go.
I When he asked her ts she was going
Helen told him, "indeed l atu; 1 Just
love boats, and we'll have a fine
time.”
”1 would much rather you wouldn't

like the trip so much, i'll go along,

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA. GA.
HANS AND THE OLD WITCH.
Hans was a poor little shepherd and
lived with his mother in a very little
house on the side of a mountain. One
morning his mother said to him:
"Hans, my son, we are poorer than
usual this year I will watch the flock
Rnd you must go to the town and get
work to do that you may earn money
to take us through the winter.”
So Hans kissed his mother good-hy
and started out with a small bundle
on his back which contained all the
clothes he owned. It was a long way
to the town and when night came on
Hans was only half way through the
forest, so he made a pillow of his
bundle and lay down under a tree to
sleep.
But just as he was dozing he heard
a Round like some one in pain. He
sat up and listened. Yes, there it was*
again. The night was so dark that
Hans could see very little, hut he made
his way In the direction from which
the sound came, and soon he heard it
right beside him, and looking in the
bushes Hans saw an old woman.
"What is the matter, grandmother?"
asked Hans; "are you hurt?"
“Yes," answered the old woman; “I
have broken my leg, T fear, and how
I shall ever get home to my poor black
cat I do not know.”
“I’ll help you," said Hans “Can you
stand up? You can lean on me and
perhaps you can walk home. Do you
live far from here?"
"Yes," answered the old woman. “I
live in a cave at the other end of the
forest, and I could never walk there.
If only I had my kettle and Iron spoon
T could make something that would
cure me. but I am afraid I shall never
see them again, and my poor black cat
will starve," and the old woman
swayed back and forth, moaning.
"Do not worry, grandmother,” said
Hans "Tell me where you live and I
will fetch your kettle and iron spoon,
and I will feed your black cat and
bring It along, too.”
"But I am a witch, my son." said
the old woman, "and no one wants to
help a witch, although they always ex
pect help Irom her."
"I want to help you,” Raid Hans,
"and If you will tell me how to get to
your house 1 will bring the things to
you, and the black cat, too."
So the witch told him and Hans
Rtarted off It was morning when he
found the home of the witch, and the
black cat was sitting In the doorway
of the hut, crying. Hank platted her
and found something for her to eat.
und then he swung the kettle over his
shoulder and took the spoon In one
hand and the cal under one arm and
started hack to the witch.
He had gone only a short distance
when he met a man.
"Come with me‘," said the man, "and
I will show you where you can find
gold. You can become a rich man and
need never work again, hut you must
come at once."
"I cannot go now," said Hans. “Much
as I need gold, I must go first to a
poor old woman who has broken her
leg and Is lying in the forest waiting
for me."
“Very well," said the man. "If you
do not throw away that kettle, let
that cat go and come with me now
you will never find the gold."
But Hans would not go: he kept on
through the forest toward the spot
where the witch was waiting
When the cat saw her It Jumped out
I of Hans' arm and ran to the witch,
who took her in her arms and smoothed
her black fur. while the cat purred
I her happiness at seeing her mistress
again.
Hans then put the kettle over s fire
which he built and gathered the herbs
as the witch told him, and when the
herbs were cooked the old witch drank
the mixture from a piece of tree bark
which Hans brought to her. and no
sooner had she drunk It than she be
gan to dance, and the cat stood oh its
legs and began to dance, and the first
thing Hans knew he was dancing, too
But suddenly Hana-remembered why
he had started on his Journey to town
and he stopped dancing and picked up
hls bundle.
By Tad
"Whither away, son?”B asked the
Svitch.
Hans told her where he was going,
and why. "And I must not stop here
any longer,” he said, "now that you
are able to walk.”
“You shall be rewarded for helping
an old woman,’’ said the witch. "Go
home, and tonight when the -moon is

shining go to the big tree at the back
of your home and strike it three times,
saying as you do so:
" 'open your bark, magic tree,
Show the hidden gold to me.’ "
llans thanked the witch and ran all
the way home to tell hls mother the
good news, and as soon as the moon
was shining on the mountainside Hans
went to the tree and did as the old
witch had directed, and, sure enough,
the tree opened and inside the moun
tain there was gold in plenty, so that
Hans and his mother lived in comfort
all the rest of their days.

an Ingenious swindle
In the current issue of Farm and
Preside, the national farm paper pub
lished at Springfield, Ohio, Judeon C.
Welliver, Washington correspondent of
that publication, writes an article show
ing how in the state of Illinois a swin
dle hae been perpetrated by which tu
berculous cattle have been bought and
ahtpped throughout the United States.
Lax laws in Illinois enabled these swind
lers to buy and sell such cattle, but the
elate of Illinois got Into bad repute b>
reason of the extensive sale of these
tattle and other plates refused to buy
from them. The way the swindlers got
around this difficulty Is explained in the
following passage taken from Mr. Wel
llver's article:
"But noie now the devlish ingenuity
with which the conspirators managed to
render these regulations worthless. They
picked out a farm north of Elgin as a
base of operations. Part of tide farm
lies In Illinois, part of It across the state
line, in Wisconsin. Diseased cattle
could be shipped in nnd unloaded on the
Illinois side of the line; the untl-lnspec
tioh law of the state made this perfectly
safe. Then they would he driven over
to the Wisconsin end of the farm. They
could thus be shipped as Wisconsin cat

had stvictly quarantined against Illinois
stock!
"And that is Just what has been going
on."
