STANDING BY RUSSIA.
President Wilson proclaimed the United States
as a real friend in bis latest message when be
said: "I am here to stand by Russia as weU as by
France."
For the United States to desert Russia at this
stage of her fortunes would be te abandon her
to her fate, which would be certainly very bad.
When the history of the Russian people is con
sidered the oppression and the ignorance of the
people the conspiracy and crookedness of these

Of course, perfidy and treachery are hard to for
give and our offer of friendship, under the cir
cumstances Is all the more praise worthy.—Des

BARBERRY ENEMY OF WHEAT.
Chicago Tribune: One of the best

bumper crops in America. We have
the promise of a bumper wheat crop,

One of the misfortunes which may
happen to it is black stem rust, a
blight spread by the common tall bar
berry, berberis vulgaris. This un
pleasant visitor destroyed $5,000,000
worth of wheat in 1916. It has appear
