Slaughter of Defenseless Prisoners
' ? After Jaffa Unrecognized as Act
of Warfare
No French victory was ever marked
by more unbridled license than that
which the victorious troops practiced
at Jaffa But what followed was
j worse Although the prisoners of war
were too numerous for the ordinary
jtisnge yet they should have been treat-
ies according to the terms of quarter
they had exacted
J On the 7th a council of war unani-
mously voted that the old rule under
which no quarter is given to defenders
(la an assault should be applied to
thexn For two days Bonaparte hes-
itated but on the 9th his decision was
'taken
J A few Egyptians were sent home
'and the remainder of the prisoners to-
gether with the 800 militia from El
'Arish were marched to the beach and
shot Two eyewitnesses estimated it
f— one at 3000 the other at 4000

dealing as an Oriental with Orientals

Rides Piano in Storm

On the way up from Cuba about
seventy miles off Cape Hatteras a
terrific gale kicked up a sea that buf-

became deranged Repairs required

dropped into the trough of the sea
and a great flood poured into her hold

The German military authorities and
the German postal authorities have
authorized the transmission by parcel
post to soldiers in the field of cigars
equipped with a special chemical prep-

light them without the aid of matches
The chemical preparation is applied
jto the end of cigars and is ignited by
rubbing it against a hard substance

Conscription In This Country

The Local Paper a Meet Useful
Agency on the Farm — The Press
Pulpit and School a Trinity of
Influence That Must Be
Utilized in Building
Agriculture
1 By Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers’ Union
A broad campaign of publicity on
the subject of rural life is needed in
this state today to bring the problems
of the farmers to the forefront The
city problems are blazoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dail-
ies and echoed in the country press
but the troubles of the farmers are
seldom told except by those who
seek to profit by the story and the
glitter of the package ofttlmes ob-
scures the substance A searching in-
vestigation into the needs of the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects in our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly un-
derstood and illuminated by the pow-
er of the press
The rural press the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful In-
fluences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy a commanding position in pub-
lic affairs These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
and only await the patronage and co-
operation of the farmers to fully de-
velop their energy and usefulness
They are local forces working for
the best interests of their respective
Communities Their work is to build
and their object is to serve They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity of the community
Every farmer in this state should
subscribe for the local paper as well
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may And profitable
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper and no home
should be without it ’ The local paper
is part of the community life and the
editor understands the farmer’s prob-
lems It is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
Its columns deal with subjects of most
vital importance to local life of the
community
A Noble Task
In too many instances the country
papers mimic the city press by giv-
ing prominence to scandals accidents
and political agitation The new
rural civilization lias placed upon the
rural press renewed responsibilities
and enlarged possibilities for useful-
ness It cannot perform Its mission
to agriculture by recording the frail-
ties the mishaps and inordinate am-
bitions of humanity or by filling its
columns with the echoes of the strug-
gles of' busy streets or by enchanting
stories of city life which lure our
children from the farm
It has a higher and noble task
Too often the pages of the city dailies
bristle with the struggle of ambitious
men in their w ild lust for power and
many times the flames of personal
conflict sear the tender buds of new
civilization and illuminate the path-
way to destruction The rural press
is the governing power of public senti-
ment and must hold steadfast to
principle and keep the ship of tiate
in the roadstead of progress The
rural press can best serve the inter-
ests of the farmers by applying its
energies to the solution of problems
affecting the ' local community It
must stem the mighty life current
that is moving from the farm to the
cities sweeping before it a thousand
boys and girls per day It has to deal
with the fundamental problems of j
civilization at their fountain head Its
mission is to direct growth teach ef-
ficiency and mold the intellectual life
of the country placing before the pub-
lic the daily problems of the farmers
and giving first attention to the leg-
islative co-operative educational and
social needs of the agricultural classes
within its respective community
The Power of Advertising
The influence of advertising is clear
ly visible in the homes and habits of
the farmers and the advertising col-
jjmns pf the press ere making their
Imprint upon the lives of our people
The farmer possesses the things that
are best advertised
The farmer js entitled to pll Jhq
advantages &nd deserves ail the lux-
uries of life We need more art sci-
ence and useful facilities on the
farms and many homes and farms 1
arc well balanced Tn this respect but '
the advertiser can render a service 1
by teaching the advantages of modern
equipment throughout the columns of
the rural press
The farmers are in need of personal
leadership They have political lead-
ers but they need local Industrial
community and educational leaders
