When the Wor Is O0er

The present war has conclusively
proved the fallacy of the old argument
that big armies and navies preserve
the peace. Whensthe war is over the
diplomats and statesmen Of all nations
must realize that the only way to pre-
serve peace permanently is by universal
disarmament. Not the conquered alone,
but the conquer 2rs also must disband
their standing armies, dismantle their
forts, and convert their warships into
merchantmen if permanent peace Is to
prevail and the crushing financial bur
den of militarism be lifted. This is the
great problem to be faced when the
war is over. The Grain Growers

A Mcofed Question

At swell hotel men are very prompt
in removing their hats when lady
enters the elevator. But in public
elevators they seem to forget their
manners and look with disdain upon
the man who does. Miss Nell R. Lee
Murphy, once referred to, at confed-
crate reunion, as the "wittiest girl in
Dixie" sums up the hat-elevator situa-
ton as follows:
"Voteless Sister, when in this land
of chivalry, bounded on the north by
Maryland and the Chesapeake bay,
it becomes necessary to use derrick

unwritten law on the matter, wherefore
let US take the matter in our own
hands, and decide that man who does
not lift his hat in an elevator when
women are present is either bald, the

Venus de Milo, armless. In this way

Fence off Wood1otS

The government forestry service
says to fence off the woodlot so the cat
tie will not have chance to eat the
young trees. An excellent idea. Give the
cattle shade but give it to them
some where besides the place where
young trees should grow. In time the
old trees come down and new ones must
replace them. A woodlot of 20 acres
on an 80 acre farm will add much to the
value of the place but it should not be
a lot in which all the young life has
persisted.

The Men and Religion Forward

The strikers agreed to arbitration by
any committee named by the

On these commodities no advances
is permitted by the decision until
August /.
The joint rates between official clas-
sfication territory and territory soutR
of the Potomac and Ohio, and east Of

five per cent.
Application Filed in Septe mber
The application of the eastern rail-
roads for re-hearing was made Sep
tember Is, on the ground that the
European war and other stated rea--
sons materially changed the condi-
tions since the previous decision was
given.
The petition for the re-hearing
stated that it was made in behalf OF
112 railroad companies, comprising 35
railroad systems in the s'official classi---
fication territory"
1t set forth that since the commits
sions previous decision "facts and cir
cumstances have arisen," warranting-
a re-hearing on the subject. Speci-
fically, it was stated that since the

Emergency Critical
"The unforeseen European war,
the petition went on to say, "has-
brought about an unparalleled de-
struction of wealth and dislocation of
credit throughout the civilized world
It is certain that the competition for
capital will be keener and interest
rates higher for some years to come
than in any corresponding period
with living memory. The emergency
thus resulting is extremely serious!'~ -
