WHY'S AN EGG

Since the first hen crossed the road the short winged fowl has had it's partisans, and most peo- pie who have had an opportunity have at some time or another '' raised chickens Although this has been going on far cen turies. the same old question is discussed as to whether egg far ming can be made to pay. The average hens egg weighs about two or three ounces and varies in length from two to three inches, Someone who may or may not know what he is talking about has declared that 300, ,000,- 900 eggs are consumed each week in the United States. The esti- mate seems to be fair enough as it is only three eggs per person. If then these 300.000, 900 eggs
  were placed in a row, that is, end to end. they would cover 10, 1000 miles, which is consider ably more than one-third of the stretch around the globe. Then why not commend the industry of the faithful hen, who, whether she can be made to pay or not, is conducting her affairs on thousands or farms and back yards. The world loves chickens and her products; and whether she pays or not her fruit will ever remain permanent on the breakfast table.

WHO WANTS WAR?

The locomotive and auto mobile, the typewriter, electric lights, and automatic Maxim guns are modern inventions which have produced their tre- mendous affect upon present day civilization and warfare. It seems to be considered a gratifying boast for the navy officials to tell how battleships winch a few years ago were con- sidered the pink of perfection, have been relegated to the junk heap. The United States has spent $477, O72, 952. 55 for main- taining it's navy. The appropria- tion for the present fiscal year is $139, 964, 331.61. If the big navy advocates, who are very nearly sufficient in number to control Congress, should have their way, this annual appro- priation will be doubled. While the United States is birding itself upon the fact that it is a nation of peace, yet it is a positive fact that. between sixty and seventy cents of every dollar collected in taxes is spent upon war measures and pensions that have grown out of previous wars. Ask your Senator or your Congressman about it, and he will promptly inform you: On, we have to do it because other countries are doing the same thing. In view of the evidence of fearful destruction going on in Europe. the wisdom of main taining peace in such a manner comes into grave question. Fhe 5000 miles of border seperating the United States and Canada does not require a single musket or an ounce of powder to main- tain peace, and yet Canada is a foreign country. Europe is looking to the United States more today than ever before in history, and the neutrality of our people is essential. It may be that Uncle Sam will talk the great powers into disarma- ment, but if he enters upon such a course he will need the support and sympathy of the. masses of the people of the United States, who may expect to be resisted in their efforts by the war makers of our own country, by men who lead easy lives in the army and navy. and who constantly keep up disturb ing talk in order to preserve their own power. This is carried so far that each year when the appropriations for new warships are considered by Congress, some sort of a bogus war cry is started.
 A great many of the most in- telligent people of the country are more convinced that now is the time to strike for disarmam- ent of the powers of the world. Men and women who believe in this sort of thing should let thelr representatives of govern ment know their view points. Europe will soon have all that it wants, and If the disheartaned people find the great United States in the lead for universal peace. it may be that great bene- fits to the world and civilization will ensue. The theory that a powerful army and navy are the only guardians of pease has brought it's direful results to Europe. Now is the time for those who believe in the foolish ness of such a policy to exert

The Holbrook news., 1914-09-25

The Turkish Ambassador in defending the policies of his country recited a whole lot of unpleasant facts concerning some of our own internal condi- tions, calling particular attention to the lynching of negroes, as indicating that the people of the United States are no far ther advanced than the people of Turkey, where mis- sionaries are occasionally ham, strung, killed, or turned loose with their ears cut off. The Stated Department took excep- ton to what the Ambassador had ta say, and the chances are that if he breaks over the traces again that he will be asked to pack his trunk. Turkey has been an outlaw among the na- tions, according to the view point of the Washington govern ment, and if that country inn poses 100 per cent tariff increase on the importations of American products, as has been threaten ed. the United States will raise a protest. Whether that will be effective or not remains to be seen. Nothing short of a war ship, sent to Turkey during the Roosevelt administration, has ever appeared to influence the Sultan's government.

The Holbrook news., 1914-09-25

A regular civil war has broken out Tn commercial circles as to the manner of producing war revenue legislation. One of the earliest effects of the war that has hit the press Of the country is the cancellation by the American Tobacco Company of $1, 900, 900 worth of advertis- Ing. which had all of the leading periodicals, and has been a patron of country newspapers as well. as the larger papers in the cities. In the case of the country press the loss will not be heavy as the American Tobacco Company boasts of the skill displayed by it in obtaining space from publishers at redicul- ously low figures. It IS stated that much of its space has been bought for as low as four cents an inch, and last year a new employee won fame in the advertising field of New York by the fact that he was reported to have cut down the advertis- ing cost of the tobacco trust $75, 900 in three months. And yet the tobacco trust, which has, perhaps. done more to demoralize country newspaper advertising than any other organization in existence. likely expects the newspapers to help them escape the tax that is to fall upon them.
