The various belligerent nations and
even those not directly engaged are
all passing significant war measures.
In France the sale of absinthe has
been forbidden, in Russia vodka;
Norway has put prOhibitive law in
to effect abolishing the sale of any IL
quors. The meaning of these meas
ures is quite significant. These pro-
hibitory laws affect such products
which are recognized as wasteful
morally and materially. If such is
a recognized fact during war time,
why should it not be equally strong
during times of peace. The present
war would accomplish one good if it
would cause these laws to remain in
force,

War Creates Desire for Land.
The war has not only raised food
prices over night but there has been
created an exceptional desire for
homestead land in the West. The
farmer again has absolutely demon
strated his independence and while.
there is an apparent unrest in other
professions, which is to be sure un-
warranted, the farmer above all has
before him a season of unbounded
prosperity. Whether or not the
sudden rise in foodstuffs is arbitrary
or i the natural result of economic
conditions, the fact remains that peo-
pie realize more than ever the tiller
of the soil is assured of an abundant
living in any crisis.
1t seems as though we are unable
to make enough FARMS" said Albert
Y. Leonard. Settlement Agent Of the
Reclamation Service in the Federal:
Building. Eve are hurrying the
work as rapidly as possible and be-
lieve the continuance Of war in Eu-
rope with the consequent prosperity
Of the farmer in America will create
large demand for good homestead
land.

Don't Do That"

ttoW many times have you heard a
father or mother command a boy in
the words quoted above? How often
our fathers and mothers prohibited
Us from doing this and that? And
right away the desire to do the pro-
hibited thing grew stronger than
ever. It's human nature. We don't
change much in this respect even
when we grow older. That, perhaps,
is why it is so hard to completely en-
force certain laws against habits,
such as cigarette smoking or the use
OF liquor. Shortly after the anti
cigarette law was passed in Indiana
many persons began smoking cigar
cites just because the states COM
mand don't do that" lent certain
piquancy to the satisfaction Of smok-
ing. And everyone has heard of the
persons who, when liquor is easily
obtainable, never really feel that
they want a drink, but who, the mo-
ment they come into dry territory
become seized with a parching thirst
But parents are learning. So are
governments and lawmaking bodies.
The world moves and the part that is
moving fastest is the rural district.
The young man on the farm is being
given his chance. The Federal gov
ernment-Old Uncle Sam, himself
is looking out for the farmer boys
and girls and paying big salaries to
experts and specialists who know
how to make country life interesting
as well as profitable. Nowadays
the farmer boy seldom hears the
command, Don't do that" He is
told to Do and shown how to do it.
His education is being turned into a
game which he plays with almost
the same ardor as he used to play
hockey in the old don't-do-that days.
In the last generation boy who
might want to build a bird house, for
instance, would be hidden to exercise
his building architectural genius in
constructing the woodpile. Now the
federal government encourages him
to build bird houses and will show
him how. The Department Of Agfi-
cultures farmers bulletin 600 is en-
titled "Bird Houses and How to
Build Them It is as fascinating
as any of the how-to-do- things ar
ticles we used to read in Golden
Days, The Boys Own Book, st. Mich
olas or Harper's Young People when
we were youngsters. Send for it
or better yet-let your boy send for
tits free-and let him build bird
houses this winter. The Importance
of birds as insect destroyers is SUI
preme. And there is a decided
movement to make neighbors of
them. Many birds, if furnished with
a safe retreat, will more than pay
their rent to their landlords.
A new kind of activity has come
into being and it bids fair to push
the big times Of threshing meetings
into the discard. 1t is the picnic of
filling the silo. The silo cutter and
its attendants takes several men and
already we see how our neighborly
farmers will in few years be trading
work in silo filling, while the farm
wives will each conspire to build din
ners that will last pleasantly in the
memories of the silo men. Such fill
ing is going to fit into that play spell
time of the farmer that comes after

ConUict Demands Wages.

Providence r. I.--Arguments on the
constitutionality of the law authoriz-
ing the state to make contracts selling
the labor of prisoners without com
pensating them were heard before the
Rhode Island Supreme court. On the
ground that such enforced servitude
on the part Of a prisoner is slavery and
that the state constitution prohibits
slavery without making an exception
against convicts, the national commit
tee on prison labor is pressing the suit
against a garment company which
holds contract for prisoners labor.
