Fifty years ago, we'were very large- ly an agricultural people in the raw; today, look over the average farm’s equipment and you'll find that, while agriculture may .be the American oc- cupation in high degree, it's machin- ery-made-in-America agriculture. With the change has come increased ability to stand taxation. Our enemy of today is much big- ger, stronger, meaner than that of a half-century ago and it’s more expen- sive to handle him. Relatively, there's really not much difference in the ability to fight and to pay. Seven billions is no more to, us than were seven millions to the folk of 1860-1865. It must be getting warmer.

' THAT'S GOOL. | The Southern Pacific railroad man- agement has done a good thing. The S. P. offers its right of way free to farmers, Over 12,000 acres are involved. It grants free to farm- ers 12,000 acres, which is some gar- den, and, besides this, the S.

There is a light waisted story run- ning-about some parts of this coun- try to the effect that this is to be a| “democrat's war.” “No republican need apply,” is said to be a principle of the administra- tion in filling the ‘conspicuous posi- tions. The fear that republicans may make party capital out of ‘the situa- tion or some republican get into the limelight is alleged to be closing the doors. to all except straight out demo- crats. This is very foolish stuff and ought to get the swift kick everywhere. The war is waged for a purpose too lofty: and on a basis too broad for any’ such gnat-like considerations. The party in power happens to be the democratic party, but we are sure everybody in the administration has forgotten that fact. Republicans democrats, socialists, progressives. prohibitionists—all look alike now. Nothing cuts any figure now but will- ingness and ability to serve, the com- mon cause. There will be no playing for party advantage in this war. No playing for merely personal ambition and none to get hunk on an old grudge. Gosh! but we're glad the senate amended that spy bill, so that we won't have to go to jail for express- ing the opinion that we're hungry. Americans chewed up $185,000,000 worth of candy sweets last year, not counting the sweets in plug tobacco. Great chance, here, for a war saving. Young men who want to enlist are being rejected because of flat feet, from too much dancing. We don't understand it. In the trenches a fel- low doesn’t sit on his feet.

You can get two or more crops from the same ground by keeping your soil working from early spring until Jack Frost appears. Gardeners speak of thi: s compan- ion and successive cropping. They mean that early maturing.plants, re- quiring little space are sown in the same row or between ro of late ma- turing plants. That's “companion cropping. When you sow seed of the same plant every ten days or two weeks from early spring’ until along toward early summer, you are doing succes- sive cropping. That insures you a supply of fresh vegetables for a long stretch. Other- of ground ALL wise you would get too much ‘lettuce | er maturing crops. these later plants will have arrived or radishes or onions ready for the table at the same time and a few weeks, later would ‘have none.

So For years it has been the practice of Canada to raid the ‘Amer- ican farm. This was the plan for this year, too. An appropriation of ap- proximately $180,000 was made by the Canadian government to publish al- luring “ads” in American agricultur- al journals to attract farm hands to Canada. Free land was offered, Low This was done while America was aiding the British government: with food, munitions and money to fight the fight for its national existence.

WAITERS FIGHT DINERS FOR CHAMPAGNE CORKS. “Tn one of Hamburg’s cafes where war contractors, food usurers, food hoarders and similar trash are wont to congregate nightly and to guzzle champagne in exchange for their dis- honorably earned money, two wait- ers, toward closing time, were seen searching oyer and under the tables in a mysterious way,” reports the Hamburg Echo. “Being asked whether they had lost anything, they answered that they were looking for champagne corks, for which they could find a ready sale OH, Tom, PM ‘at 6 cents apiece. Thereupon two well-dresséd customers showed their peckets crammed full with the corks, which they claimed they had a right to sell on their own account. “The waiter demanded the return of the corks, but the men refused. The proprietor approached, and in his turn claimed the corks, He had sold his customers champagne only, he de- clared, and they were no more en- titled to the corks than to the empty bottles, “The customers remaining obdur- ate, the two waiters and the cafe pro- prietor flung tiemselves on them. Three or four other customers took the part of the cork stealers and a free fight ensued, in which empty bot- tles, beer mugs, and glasses were em- ployed as weapons, and blood flowed freely. “After 20 minutes of this unseemly warfare four armed policemen enter ed, and speedily conveyed the dishev elled combatants to the lock-up.” RETIREMENT “STRATEGIC” | SAYS COLOGNE ZEITUNG, “Criticism of the great movements {on the western front must be silenced in the presence of Hindenburg’s de- cisions, which, as we know from his past, are always dictated by strategic ; says the Cologne Zeitung.
