German Farm Production.

Our Pennsylvania Dutch are good farm
ers, but not so good as their relatives in
Germany. For every bushel of wheat a
Pennsylvania farmer produces from one
acre the German grows two and a tenth
bushels.
His farm is small, but the man who
delves beyond the Rhine makes each acre
produce exactly twice as many potatoes
as do our farmers.
The man who bows to a Kaiser instead
Of President extracts just a half more
oats and over a third more barley and
about 90 per cent more rye from each
acre than does the improvident Ameri-
can.
The man who has but a dollar can live
for long time on II, whereas the prodi-
gal can waste so bill on one dinner.
The German has SO little ground that he
makes It work doubly hard.
When tho United States has ao0000. 900
population our farm production an acre
will likely have doubled from sheer neces-
sity.-Public Ledger.

President Wilson may be contemplating another
term in the White House. but he certainly is not
sidering the rapidly diminishing number of votes of
civil war veterans. The commander of the Depart-
ment of the Potomac, G. A. R., visited him yesterday
to complain that war veterans are being dismissed
from the executive departments in violation of law
and to invite him to deliver the Memorial Day adj
dress at Arlington. The President declined to de-
liver the address the ground-if he is correctly
reported-that it might oomplicate the Mexican stu
stion and declared that he knew nothing of the dis
missal of veterans. There is wide gulf between
the civil half century ago. and the situation in
Mexico for today As for the veterans in civil serv-
ics there are not many of the and if they present
a problem ii. is one that time-and not long time
