Finding Out the Law.

The ign ORANGE of the law has lots to
answer for. The law, being Of such
an uninteresting and complicated ma
ture that nobody ever finds out any
thing about it until he actually has to,
and of such an inconsistent and vague
nature that one can always find law
on his side if he looks long enough, it
follows that ignorance of the law is SO
dense that the cost of. dispelling it
makes litigants tremble.
II the law were anything like what
it ought to be in a civilized COM
munity, there would be no necessity
Of having SO many books and SO many
court officials and 80 many lawyers
and so many judges and so many ex-
pert witnesses and so many every
thing that makes the whole business
a mystic, musty haze. A simple dis
pute could be simply settled. But
now, one man, being ignorant of the
law, hires a lawyer, who is also ignor-
ant Of the law, to pursue another
man, who, knowing no law, can de-
fend himself only by hiring another
lawyer. Then, after the whole thing
| is gone with sufficient detail to prove
| to the Judge that the law permits him
to decide it in favor of either litigant
he hands down his decision in ac-
cordance with the state of his owr
feelings or previous condition Of
political servitude. e. o. j., in Life.

Could Export Cement at Once.

The United States imports relative
ly little hydraulic cement, only s4,-
$50 barrels having been imported in
1918, whereas the domestic production
in that year was nearly 93,O0o,000 bar
rels. There is little or no need to i'm
port any cement, for all parts of the
country are now fairly we'll supplied
with mills for the manufacture of
Portland cement, and the supply of
raw materials is practically inexhaust-
ible. A significant feature of the CO.
ment industry, however, Is the fact
that, though only about so per cent Of
the normal cement- producing capac-
ity of the country is employed at the
maximum, there is often an overpro-
duction; yet the exports Of hydraulic
cement have scarcely exceeded 4 200
900 barrels in any year, this amount
being only about five per cent Of the
total output-not sufficient to take
care of the surplus production in a
year of great activity.
There seem to be excellent reasons
for stimulating the export trade in
cement as rapidly as possible, for, al
though the export of relatively
bulky and low-pficed material such
as cement does not promise large
direct profits to an individual produc-
er, indirectly the creation and main
tenance of an export trade should
benefit the industry at large through
the opportunity afforded of disposing
of surplus stocks and thereby tending
to maintain steadier prices. Bulletin

Our Opportunity and Our
Responsibility.

II ever America puts it's hand to the
plow in its eff ort to feed the world, it
has assumed that responsibility now.
Not since the, narrowing days follow
ing our own strife of the sixties have
the tillable acres of this country faced
such possible drain upon their
bountifulness. Without even dimly
prophesying the duration of the war
now raging, we are already assured
of the fact that next year this coup
try will be storehouse of the world.
Every farm owner, every tenant and
every share worker will have his
part to play in fulfilling this great
responsibility. No matter how re-
mote his residence, he will hear Eu-
ropes call for beef, bacon and bread,
and on the amount he has to sell will
depend not only his satisfaction of
having served his fellowmen but the
additional satisfaction of having serv-
ed himself; for big crops, much stock,
many hogs next year will mean big
profits.
1t is thus that the American farmer
begins his fall work with two strings
