ST Tt iy WOMAN TOLD ME”. Most war lies are of a like nubulous parentage. But unfortunately, there u nearly always some one who will believe and repeat ,the tale, “A Woml.n Told Me That a Woman Told Her”. Thus the war lies are spread. “The Public Safety Commission says the best thing to do about the war 1te is to-trace it back to the war liar, and then hale him before the Depart- ment o! Justice. Next to that, just say the thing is a lie, and give facts to prove it. ‘It doesn’t take many fac s to refute one. Just say the awver- "age war lie over to yourself, slowly, and you will know it is a lie, without lr‘ument g Incidentally there i8 a new lie going around. It is that the govern- ment is about to commandeer all stocks of potatoes—private as well as The contrary is the fact, because the government, through the !ood ministration, says officially: “The food administration desites to llluro all producers and handlers of milk and dairy-products, poultry and eggs, flsh, fruits, potatoes and vegetables, that no restrictions have been phcdl" ‘such food materials, or are liable to be”. FARM LABOR PROBLEM LDOMING. The problem of labor for our tarms is luomlng up as the one great question, and in many localities is becoming really serious. Even before we wété fn war it was a matter of concern, Now the ‘matter can no longer be lightly get mside. There is no doubt that unless steps are taken, before the entire war draft is run out, to recruit the ranks of farm labor, it will be & physical impossibility for our farms to meet the demands that will be made upon them another season. Many localities report that even now Writer’s name must the gc"arclty of farm labor is seriously crippHng operations, and when the draft is completed the situation will be even more'serioua It is hoped -that the amended regulations will tend to relieve the situation. From the putem outlook, it would seem the part of wisdom that the dra’lt apply to farm;labor equally with the army. It would be hard to tell which is the most important just at this time. Certain it is that without the farmer our &fmies’ will be impotent. REPUBI.IOAN S LEAD-SUFFRAGE MOVE. Advocates of the equal suffrage amendment have taken a poll of the two rhoum of congress and find that 65 per cent of the Republicans and 40 per cent of the Démocrats in the senate are favorable, while in the house the amendment has the support of 70 per cent of the Republicans and 38 per nt"ot the’ Democrats. 1t 1s announced that If the same proportion of | Democrnu as Repubflcans had voted for the amendment in 1915, it would have been passed. Many of the members are. non- -committal, so the per- centages given ahove as the result of a poll will be changed ‘before a vote can-be ’tiken SOME MORE OF THAT CAMOUFLAGE. A dispatch sent out from Washington had it that Attorney General Gregory has asked the United States supreme court to suspend government suits for the dissolution of seven alleged “trusts’”, among the most power- ful in the United States. But what we are unable to understand is that i2- these concerns were not lowful at one time, why they are lawful at the present? . “However, there are a great many puzzles at Washington that has + the country guessing. Maybe a little more camouflage politics. General Pershing has sent the American people a message that con- tains a volume in a séntence of three clauses. He says, “Germany can be beaten, Germany must be beaten, and Germany will be beaten’. To every word of which every red-blooded American will shout “Amen"! Charles Michelson in the Chicago Herald aské. “Why did it cost $1,- 350,000 to operate the Creel bureau and what has the country got for it?” ‘We cowld nswer that but Burleson would bar us from using the mails. - If Russia continues very long in her present course, the world will be- gin to think that Nick Romanoff didn’t make half enough anarchist mar- An accurate statement of this country’s war aims is not of nearly so much importance as the accuracy of the aims of the boys in the trenches.
