War;.


War Is much more than merely the
absence of peace. War is a condition
where all is fair. 1t Is governed only
by the whims and caprices of the
commanders of the participants. War,
therefore, has nothing to do with con,
stitutions, statutes. morals, traditions.
manners or etiquette.
During war it is right to forage.
which is euphemism for stealing.
During war 1t Is right to decimate
the enemy, which is a circumlocution
for murder.
During war 1t is right to be spy.
which is another name for lying.
During war it is right to confiscats
contraband, which is an invasion of
the rights of property.
During war 1t is right to draft sol
diers, which violates the sacred right
of personal liberty.
During war 1t is right to be led
away by the passion of the moment,
which is another name for acting
foolishly.-Life.

ment of Agriculture. One is the bet
ter appreciation of the food value of
nuts for the average family, and Sec
one!y their use by the vegetarians as
substitute for meat and other fatty
foods. Nuts, as rule, contain little
water, much fat. are rich in protein,
and have been regarded as more or
less indigestible. The indigestibility
in nuts is said to be largely due to in.
sufficient mastication. and to the fact
that they are often eaten when not
needed. as after . hearty mead or late
at night.

In earlier days wherever nuts were
found growing in the United States

not readily explained that rarely do
two next door neighbors, or even two
families in n tenement or apartment
house buy milk of the same dealer.
II would be an obvious advantage to
the milkman if he could concentrate
his customers within one neighbour
hood. Instead he supplies families
scattered through long routes, when
his stock might be disposed OF within
a few blocks if his customers were
contiguous. These dealers are indus
trious and accommodating, but their
labOrs are m~isdirected and scattered.
1t has been said that the most expen-
sive. part of the transportation of farm
produce is the railway station; but in
the case of milk, the needless cost
would seem to be at the other end OF
the journey. Here is an example of
competition that is wasteful that must
fall as a tax upon the consumer. and
that appears to be of no benefit to any

Bonds for Road Building

billings Montana Daily Gazette.)
There is something Il in the
view expressed by Engineer Noshell
that counties should be authorized to
issue bonds for road Improvement.
There il no one thing hat will do a
community more good than to place
its highways in good conditions. Nod
al roads mean a model commtinify
and easy "a for the transpor,t-
tion of crops to market would result
in Il sensible accreation to the rNin-
fort of the farmer and of wealth TO
the community.
County commissioners usually have
but little money at their command
for the purpose Of road building.
There is a limit TO the amount ~ tax
es hat can be imposed for sucn a
purpose, and no matter how much a
county board may be in favor Of road
improvement II cannot go beyond the
means at its disposal.
With limited means the county
board n only do a limited mount
Of work each year, and usually the
amount that can be used is so small
that 1t Is all used in making minor
repairs. leaving nothing for the con-
struction of new roads or the material
Improvement of old ones.
Through the issuance of bonds
enough money could be secured TO
place all the roads in proper condi-
ton, and this once done, the ordinary
road fund az the disposal Of county
commissioners would be sufficient to
keep the highways in first-class con-
dition.
II Is sincerely to be hoped that at
the coming good roads congress this
suggestion of Mr.. Noshell will be taxi
en- up and some action will be taken
thereon.
