Topping the whole is West Virginia with a million more than Illinois, and the government itself will aid in the work to the extent of more than 14 million. 1t is quite evident that the good roa movement has demonstrated the worth of the outlay wherever it has been properly undertaken and it is a healthy sign that there is a growing tendency for permanent roadbeds. REDEEMING GARBAGE. When it comes to the elimination of waste it is quite evident that the peo- ple of this country have as vet only begun to scratch the surface. We have indulged in extravagance so long that it has become a habit and one which has grown upon us. Thus the opportunities for stopping it are to be found in great number and everyone can easily find a chance to participate therein. The people of the country Mve been asked to cut down on the use of es- sentials and there has been a ready response. It may not meet all expec- tations but good results are already being obtained therefrom. In further- ing the movement the United States food administration is urging the util- izat’ of garbage that what is re- deemable therefrom may be saved. It is well understood that Jarge quanti- ties of garbage are already turned to xcellent -results in the raising of pigs, and pork production is one of of “Right is More Precious than Peace”| | THE WAR SAVINGS EFFORT. The campaizn in £ ings stamps, the extension of the participaiion in the financial support of the government in the conduct ‘of | s ended. It has been car- great - thoroughness and determination by the orzanization which is in charge of the raising of two billion dollars in tnis manner. Just t the results are it will probably require several days to determine, but there is good reason to believe that a much greater number of people have been brought to the realization of the| respounsibility which rests hpon the individual's shoulders, because of the campaign and the fact that they have pladged their support in this manner, than would otherwise have been the It is a well known fact that because a person is actually taki part in such am undertaking he manifests much more interest than when he! stands bv and watches others do. By participating he reali that he is aetually a part of the organization and he quickly becomes eazer to do his full duty whefeas the past he may have been only lukewarm. That th will prove to be the case in this war| savings effort there are good reasons s believe. There are a great many who have gone their limit in their pledges, others have not. Some have not taken to the idea of pledging for the future but have done so that they may be enrolled, and it is reasonable to helieve that they will be found do- ing much more than they have prom- iced. The plan, which has been put into operation through the excellent service of the many solicitors, should and undoubtedly will prove to be a much greater success in the end than the pledges as totaled at this time in- dicate. It will grow zreater as it de- velops and people become still more interested. The solicitors have done their part, now the people must do ire. of war THE STORY INDICTMENT. Not a littlc attention has been croused by the indictment of Mrs. William Cummings - Story on the charge of grand larcen: nd includ- ing therein her two sons. This may have been increased to a large ex- tent by the prominence of the accused sinco she has been the president gen- cral of the Daughters of the Ame lition and taken an equal- v leading part #h other activities. But it is especially so because it has tg, do with the alleged use of funds raised for a deflnite purpose for the pay- ment of those who have been involved in the work of r: ng or administer- ing them. It is not claimed that any of the money has resuited to the benefit of Mrs. Story personally, but that in so- liciting funds for the National Emer- gency Relief society, of which she was the president, that a man named Brown has been given 50 per cent. of the money which he collected -as a solicitor of the organization, and that sf this amount taken out by Brown, { or given to him, there was a fifta which was given to Mrs. Story's son.! In connection with the raising of | funds most people hesitate to give their assistance because of a fear that this very thing will happen, that their money will:not he used for the pur-{ pose donated and that those whom it is desired to aid will never see but a small portion of what is given. The disclosure is therefore a serious mat- ter and one which needs to be rleared up at the earliest possible moment. BETTER ROADS. The days of the gffod roads are by no means pasding. Each day makes it plain that they are more necessary than ever and though there are ways in which the expenditure of money can well be curtailed in view of the extensive demands that are being made in more important directions such does not include good roads. Better highways are of great im- portance in connection with the war activities of the country. This is fully demonstrated by the manner in which all sections ‘of the country are make appropriations for this very kind of work and putting their’ main thoroughfares in condition to take care of the overland transportation which is being handied in greater vol- i pected the great needs of the country, but it is fully understood that ail garbage is not pig food and in this connection i tration is pointing out the fact that in a ton of gar- bage, kitchen and table refuse when kept separately, there is sufficient glycerine to make, the explosive charge for fourteen 75 millimeter ells, enough fatty acid to manufac- ture 73 pounds of soap, fertilizer ele- icents sufficient to grow eight bush- els of wheat and a score of other val- ble materials essential in the man- facture of munitions. The number of large cities where there is sueh utilization is but slightly larger than the number where no at- tention is paid to such material ex cept to throw it away and the value of the loss sustained is estimated at five million a year. That wouldn't float A very big issue of war bonds but it is certainly worth saving. STILL FIGHTING CHILD LABOR. Fully in accord with what was ex- is the step which has heen taken to secure new federal legisla- ition in rezard to child labor by the presentation of two bills in the sen- ate which have been drawn with the idea of meeting the unconstitutional features of the law which was recent- Iy declared null and void by the United States supreme court. ‘Because of the supreme court de- cision it does not mean that the effort to bring about an improvement in the conditions which surround child labor in certain sections of the country is going to Be abandoned. On the other hand it calls for the putting forth of still grdater efforts than have been made in'the past, for the conditions are such that they ought to be changed and the improvement cannot be brought about any too soon. Control of child lahor through the federal taxation of such articles as are made by it is proposed in one of the hills. This would serve to in- crease the price of such goods so that the advantage of the low prices paid children in connesction with such work would be overcome and possibly a preference created for goods not so| manufactured. In the other bill it is proposed that the interstate shipment of merchandise made by such labor be restricted in the same manner that liquor shipments are controlled under the Webb-Kernyon bill. In presenting these bills the position is taken that what can be done constitutionally for the betterment of conditions in one direction can be done in others, and inasmuch as the movement has been started to protect the children there is no better time to see it through. EDITORIAL NOTES. Contrary Mary isn’t the only one in these days of many cultivators who is being asked how her garden grows. cholas Romanoff doesn't appear to have been able to satisfy some of the Russians, either with or without his crown. When the washerwomen organizs for the purpose of getting higher prices it means a hard rub for the other fellow. The latest attack of thef Americans in Belleau woods substantiates the re- vised opinion of the Germans that they are fighters. S The man on the corner says: There are still too many ‘who insist that the world owes them a living because they insist upon loafing. Here it is almost the first of July jand the straw hat is running only a 50-50 race with the other headgear for popularity. kinds of Matters have gone too far for thes ex-czar to get any lesson out of the latest events, but there are others who ought to be able to do some hard thinking. With the central powers Jooking-ta Russia for food, and Russia looking to Siberia it is as plain as day that the kaiser’s domain will soon extend to the Pacific, It is to be remembered of course that there is nothing to stand in the way of exceeding your war savings pledge if you are so disposed. It is for an excellent cause. While the people of Germany are asking to have the senseless murder of women and children stopped they might at the same time insist that the bomhing of hospitals be, checked. According to.the tales of captured Germans the kaiser's airplanes are terrorizing the people in America. That of course is thé wisa rather than the fact but it shows what kind of news the Teutonic forces are being fed upen. 2 One of the finest statements of the change of the tide in favor of the entente is made by Lieut. Eric Fisher Wood, an American who ed with the British forces erica declared war. He says the first two years of the war Germany took 30,000 prisoners while the British captured only 100,000 Germans; but in the first six months of the. third year the Germans took only 10,000 British prisoners, while in the same time the ‘British eaptured 80,000. Not only has the balance of losses been reversed, but multiplied 24 times in favor of the British, for odds which were at first 10 to 30 in favor of the Germans are now 8 to 10 in favor of the British.” This shows a turn in the tide of battle which “lends support to the reports from abroad that the end of the war is not so far off as many imagine. The boys “Over there” knowing of this turn in the tide of battle have reason to be hopeful, and so have we. If you do not read the letters from the American soldiers “Over there” you are missing many a thrill, and if you miss the charm of them you lose what you cannot afford to lose. Here is a thrill from one: “No one can tell when this wicked war will end, but at any rate we can tell that we and our grand ullies will .be the victors. No human power can defeat a people pos- sessed of such a spirit as tuese people —such patriotism, courage, patience and determination.” The charm comes in when the American soldier address- es himself to mother. From his heart he says: “Why do you think alway: of the peril? Why do you not think of the charming scenery, the beautiful churches and the pleasing things of which I write? The peril is only oc- casional” Or: “I know you worry very, very much, but, if as you say, it is God's will, we will come back to you. If not, rest assured we will die fighting with the good old spirit, for you. for Vermont, and for the good old J. S.” The courage and the patriot- ism and the solicitude and the love of mother, home and country, and the hope and the zood cheer of these let- ters show the true spirit of American manhood. As | love egas mvself, T do not have such an awful antipathy against the blue jay for indulging in eggs once in a while. The habits of birds to secure sustenance do not seem worse to me than our own pursuits for ra- tions. The cat likes birds and the hawks like chickens and the blue jay loves eggs and supply themselves very much as we do. It is their nature to enjoy that gamey taste which he find in bird pie, chicken broth, venison or bearsteak. 1 saw out of the air into a nearby pear tree late the other afternqon and then a screaming robin flew away and I won- noise about. When I saw blue jay smoothing out his ruffled feathers and looking cheap, to sa nothing about his apparent confusion, I knew he had either been eating eggs, or caught red handed in an at- tempt, and had been pursued like a burglar and flogged. T felt sorry for the robin whose cry of triumph was so much like his cry of distress that hu- man ears could not distinguish the difference; but'I feit a' boyish glee over the fact that the blue jay had been walloped by his smailer antagonist. the big | have found the Common Day Flower (Commelynia Communis), as a persistent weed in the zarden for a dozen years, and botanical authorities tell us “ifs range is from Southern New York down through America to Paraguay.”, In some way it found its way to this continent across the Atlantic (quite likely upon earth attached to peonyroots), for it alwa seeks their shade and moist- ure, and seems to eajoy asscciating ceds and reappears in colonies yvear after yvear. Its flower with only t.o | Leavenly blue petals and a light col- jored 1ip were made to represent the three Dutch Commelyn brothers who were botanists, by Linnaeus, the two Liue petals representing the worikers, and the third colored petal Kasper, vho lacked physical energy. The great Swedish botanist found in this flower radteristics of his three Dutch friends, and to know why it is named Commelyn is to smile. The common blue day flower has undoubtedly spread farther north, but its roots are shallow, and it is easily pulled up. Its hiding habits help it in the distribu- tion of seed. The war sermons of the German cler- gy indicate that the imperialism which directs their utterances is of the earth earthy. Pastor Rump says: “A Jesus< S gainst the whole world is in realily the battle of. the spirit against the whole world's infamy, falsehood and devilish cun- ning.” Pastor Konig: “The downfall iof Germanism would mean the down- fa]l of humanity.” Prof. Eucken: “We will not in future ‘let foreign idols be forced upon us, but will serve our own God: Pastor Troeltsch: “We claim cnly the free development of our own individuality, and are only fighting azainst the attempt to throttle it, while contrariwise our enemies are conducting an aggressive war which they have to disguise as a Kultur- war in order to make it appear defen- sive.” TIsn’t it strange that intellec- tual men can get such misconceptions cf their fellowmen and be led into such mmisrepresentations of their action and purpose. “He who is destitute of prin- ciples is governed by whims.” Over in England, in the archlves of the censorship department, there are five hundred shelves packed full of books and pamphlets, or hundreds of thousands of evidences of the inten- tion of the German propagandists to flood all neutral and belligerent na- tions with its pacifist and conspiring literature to aid it in its ambition to rule the world, which have been taken from the mails and never reached their destination. What nation ever before started upon a war of conquest with nine million thoroughly trained soldiers, 10.000 literary propagandists, as many chemists to spread poisons and disease zerms, and a million agents in ail the countries of the earth te spy and cooperate and aid in the devilish scheme of murder and de- struction. There was never anything like it before conceived by the heart of man and the tyrants of the past shrink before the aim and the ruth- lessness of this 20th century tyrant whose name ought to be loathed by man for all time. How much more a person amounts to who directs his thought to what he can do, rather than to what he can't do. What most folks can’t do is what do not wars to do. This way of ng back in harness instead of pulling. is altogether too common in these times. There is a disposition to lend to the nation as you would to a bankrupt, and to give for humanita- rian work as you would to a poor re- lation. What our soldiers need-to see back of them is_ the old American ‘war spirit .which proclaimed to the ‘world.—“Millions for defence—not one nt for tribute!” And which yelled, Death to Traitors!"” The spirit of the people is as important as its contribu- tions.

We need to do things with a will instead of a manifest willingness. What we all need to pray for in these piping times is “a clear vision” A great many Americans today are befogzed concerning worid conditions and their personal relations to them. We all should have the clear visi# of this adopted citizen: The Red Cross solicitor in Dickinson county, Kgnsas, recently asked a German who had never expressed himse'f concerning the war to contribute: “How much you tink I ought to gif?” asked the Ger- “Well, $20 would be about right,” ing! suggested the solicitor. exploded the German, “I no gif I gif dirty—no, py golly, if we stop dat tam kaiser over dere we won't have anyt'ing {o. gif over here. T gif '$50.” We need to realize the differerice between 'keeping our money for the kaiser to seize and giving it to Uncle Sam for the support of ou~ armies, ‘the protection of ourselves and government, and the extension of larger libertfes to the people of all countries. Right must be put aboy Villainy! { TARRYING BY THE STUFF The man in kahki holds the cen- ter of the stage today, and is likely to do so for an indefinite period. We salute the soldier of ‘any rank. The time has come when every Ameri- can of military age net in one of TUncle Sam’s uniforms of some varie- |ty or other must give a reason why, |"When peace is finally declared, we shall continue to give due respect | to those who fought -it out in arms in tne world’s supreme crisis. The celebration when “the boys come home” will be worth seeing. - As the soldier had things much his own way in the years following our Civil war, so it.is likely to. prove--:after the present crisis. B ) pig ‘But there must be no underrat- ing of civilians, who have fought iwi{houl guns. No decorations will : be pinned on their breasts; they have not been mentioned in dispatches. Yet, they have helped to. win the war, too. They are entitled to 2 Ishare of the honors. The - ancient rule of King David is a - fair one: “As his part is that goeth- down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff.” In soMe regards, indeed, it may appear that the stay-at-home work- |er has carried the more difficult bur iden. Nothing of the pomp and cir- cumstanee of war is his: he knows few of the incentives of the soldier’s life.. No band plays inside the fac- tory where, for long hours at a time, he guides roaring machinery or handles Geadly chemic e is not borne alonz by that spirit of the group that will often send a regi- ment singing ‘“over the top.” Bx- cept in times of actual battle, his.oc- cupation inay be as hard and scarce- ty less dangerous to life and health than is service in the army. In quieter, domestic fields, too, a vast deal of heroism is daily dis- played. If one were to suggest from his circle of acquaintance, can- didates for the badge of honor; scores of mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters and sweethearts, would be in the list. It requires no ordinary courage to send the boys off with smiles and then go back to the racking worry of the long months of war. The patience and self con- trol apparent in thousands of Amer- ican homes is nothing short of sub- lime. Tn how many cases is witnessed the truth of Miiton's line: “They also serve who only stand and wait!” Only gradually has the average citizen come to appreciate the mag- nitude of the present conflict. This is no war between armies, or even between nations alone, but between radically different ideals of human civilization. One ideal or the other is doomed. In-‘a book written since August, 1914, "the German historian Meyer says: “The “*truth of the whole matter undoubtedly is that the time has arrived when two distinct forms of state organizations must face each other in a life-and-death struggle.” In one struggle lke thaf every onc of us has a part. There are hundreds of different ways of doing one’s “bit.” Shells are not the only munitions, but potatoes are, as well and corn and coml and cotton cloth and all manufactured articles of any kind. Every form of industrial, agricnltural ior social eWort any of us can put forth is a contribution toward victory. In no war the world has ever seen have soldiers at the front and men, women and children behind the lines 'so been corsrades-in-arms. As Senator Borah d recently, jn a stirring plea on the floor of the United States senate,“You may put upon the western front all the sol- diers that you can build ships to a united and, determined people, aroused and thoroughly understanding the fact that we are all « part of the contest, we shall not succeed in a delapitated, utterly selfish, extravag- |’ carry, but if there is not behind them | ed the tin facing on the gallery front till it resounded gorgeously down be- low and made all the plutocrats refer to those dreadful rowdies up abcva!' “Wie saw every last Show going!

Ellis, traveler and war correspondent, gives a phic picture of the con ditiens which an American traveler in Russia faces today in a trip down the River Yolga, the Mississippi of the Slav - empire. A part of Mr. Eillis’ communication to the National Geo- graphic Society is issued as’the fol- {lowing war geography bulletin: “War's gentle art of foraging is no new acquisition for Russia.

'Of dairy products and fruits—milk, butter, cheese, eggs, melons, potatoes, onions, egg-plants, “tomatoes, beans, apples, peaches; pears, plums, and luscious grapes—there is no stint in Astrakhan; but bread and sugar are procurable only by ticket. “Many river ports have fcod in plenty and the peasant women bring it down to the wharves.
