THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER. (Established 1873) E> JUST A FEW OF THEM Weare sorry to learn that more than 800 penal- ties for violation of food laws have been imposed upon American dealers in foodstuffs, 150 of whom were driven out of business by the food adminis- tration. That should not have a depressing effect on other Americans. Several hundred thousand} dealers in foodstuffs all over the country have obeyed both letter and spirit of the laws, and mull- ions of housewives have. done more than. Hoover has asked of them. That little band of 800 first- aids-to-the-kaiser is a mere drop in. the bucket, but at that it is a fine thing to swat ’em good and hard as fast as we catch them. Colonel George Harvey complains: because all we're doing to win the war is “just fighting.” Ever hear of winning a war without that? TRAINING APPETITES : Politics may make strange bedfellows, but, be- lieve us, war sure produces unusual appetites! Before the war our neighbor to the north didn’t grow enough corn for chicken feed, and:ate no corn beyond the roasting ears age. The Canadian appetite wouldn’t adjust itself to Yankee corn- meal and corn bread, they said. But now, some- thing has happened to that appetite-WAR! Canada is, going on a corn ration. Canada wants to save'more of her several hun- dred million bushels of wheat crop this fall for her allies and ours Who must have wheat. to eat And so she is going to sit right down’ with the U.S. A. to breakfasts of cornmeal mush‘and corn’ cakes. When she develops a fine taste for corn, her farmers will redouble their efforts to produce corn which will grow in more flourishing Manner in the short summers of Alberta and Saskatche- wan. That will increase Canada’s meat crop and the fertility of her fields. The president’s Mt. Vernon speech in con- densed form reads: ‘Freedom, for all, forever.” With emphasis on the ALL and EVER. NO RUSSIAN FATE FOR US We cannot permit anything to interfere with our most important business—that of whipping the Huns. We must do-everything which will aid us in carrying on that business, even though there be among them some things unpleasant and painful. We must keep on going ahead in this war—or we are driven backward. For no nation at war can stand still. We must not only fight.the enemy over there, but we must fight the foe in whatever disguise it may take here at home. We must fight the enemy of civilization wherever we find him. . If we do not fight him here at home our sons cannot cope so well with him upon the battlefields of France. We must fight the pro-German sympathizer who by word or sign seeks to aid the Huns. We must fight the anti-American in our midst who does not obey whole-heartedly every order of the goverrimental agencies directing our home war efforts. We must fight against food wastage, labor wast- age and time wastage, for food and man power are essential to our winning the war. We must fight against the malicious tongue which bears false stories of conditions in Amer- ican war camps and praises the “efficiency” and “strength” of Hunnish kultur. We must fight against the wily politicians who would weaken our war efforts by attacking the war administration for political purposes. Yes, there is plenty of fight for us to engage in even though we never go to training canton- ment or cross the Atlantic. ' And not the least of our enemies—and Ger- many’s friends—right here in America are the profiteers who coin out of the people’s life blood profits baser than any the highwayman or the pirate ever took. The profiteer-cares for nothing but dollars. He knows no flag and no principle. He recognizes man justidd'd#é to him of lesser impo limousines and champagne. Profiteering in Russia did more than‘all of:Ger- many’s plotting propagandists to take Russia out of the war.’ It sickened the hearts of the Rus- sian pedple. It sent them unarmed into the took the fight out of them. _ ‘ But profiteering shall not do that for the‘ peo- ple of the United States! We will not'let it grow to such proportions. For we have before us Rus- sia’s fate, and we will not allow the meat trust czars, the barons of big business, to sacrifice our liberty and our' national honor to fill their filthy purses, f out of the war, we will put them out of business. Only by doing that can the United States put forth her strongest war effort. If this congress fails to do that, we must elect. 0! in November a congress which will. : : -Profiteering must stop. Having decided that, and having enforced the decision, the people of the United States will be all:the better equipped, of world democracy. ‘ In the meanwhile let us carry on with the big fight over there. Only a coward or a traitor would slacken now. : EASIER NOW In the old days when the traveler:wanted to go to Squeedunkville, via the A. B..C., the.P. D..Q., and the X._Y. Z. railroads, he had to lay ‘in a large supply of time tables. These were-pretty things, nice pictures on the eover and distributed hither and yon throughout the interior, with a lot of equally nice statistics on every page. It was necessary to study those time ‘tables, reading-up one column and down another, turning first to one page and then to the next.to find the trains which rolled in the general direction of Squeedunkville. After much nerve-racking labor the world-be traveler got to: the end-of the last time table, knowing just exactly as much as he did when he started. Then came the last minute dash ta.the ticket office where the man behind the counter: knew. all about the trains to Squee- dunkville and.a few. million other. places. . ‘ Now the timetable has been abolished, or. prac- tically so. Uncle Sam wants to save cost of print- ing them; and he'wants ‘to lessen the travel’ lure. ‘We don’t have’ to worry our ways through’ any more time tables. °.We may saye all that effort by letting ‘Uncle Sam’s' ticket, man tell‘us: how. we'll get there and when to start. | 05 Hurrah! ‘ Pine a And after.the war, cannot there be.a. gra ternational convertion of. the war. mothers: gium and of all the other natioris. whoge sons are fighting the Huns?) | coe ‘ wr ececcccccccccccoocooccenscececcosososed GEORGE BLAMES THE CLIMATE Election is- over and regardless of: the results, we. have all got about the same line of work laid out for us that we had before election. Many a leaguer was exalted to see Frazier renominated but that will not change much’ his own individual duties or relieve any strained, financial condition. He who expects any certain candidate elected to office to alter'a.man’s work on.the farm or:make milking much easier, must be: fooled. ‘If it was not for the fact that .we needed good men to oper- ate our political machinery and furnish the gov- erning. power ‘with men to execute the laws, iit would not be worth while to go very far to vote. We are all.up against something more serious than the election of. any certain man to office. The condition of the crop is serious.--It is the real catastrophy. It is going to force an economy bet- ter than the government could. A good rain_will cheer the people now, more than it will help the grain, except the late sown. However hard it is though, it won’t help to growl, yet this is the na- tural trend. Bad crops make more socialists than the’mast ranting soapboxer can, and socialism. or radicalism irritates and injures. the fighting chance of a community. It seems.to be human, for men meeting with disaster, to: want. to do something that will make it worse. As bad crops breed socialism, radicalism and poor farming, so good crops breeds conservation and better farm- ing. In other words—the poorer men become the more radical they become; their. case being des- perate, they act desperate. It.is more fomented thinking. Climate and climatical conditions have ever made men and molded their thoughts. Man is not separate and apart from the world, but he is of the world. As rain and sunshine ,make the grain grow, so do they make men’s, minds freshen and healthy. A dry, parched earth’ will breed dry, parched men. In semi-arid regions, irrigation is the remedy for the land to make it produce and look natural without rain, and this ig also true of men. Men who live in a semi-arid country without irrigation, without acting from simple instinct, must have a mind irrigated by cheerfulness, hope'and a prospective view. A bad ¢rop cries QUIT, but -to the man who keeps his mind fresh and clear, stimulated by hope and de- termination it cries STICK. QUIT and STICK have ever been enemies and have ever led their possessors to different destinations. Quit has ruined as many men ‘as STICK. has. helped.— no god other than gold.
