and governmental officials whose implements are the desk chair pen and pencil, rather than the hammer and the hoe. Even in agriculture machinery has elimi- mated some of the hardest types of manual labor. Muscular ex- erclse, however, is benefit rath- CT than a detriment to the hu- man economy, says The Journal of the American Medical AssO- citation. It improves the function of the essential organs of the body. Hence there has arisen an unexpected consequence, namely, the habit of trying to avert the possible harmfulness of some of these changed conditions by balancing the lack of paid mus cle work by work for hygienic reasons, by play and sport" The creation of work for the sake of health sounds almost paradoxi- cal.

FARM FACTS
By Peter RadfOrd, Lecturer Nat
 iOnaI Farmers Union

Agriculture needs all the great men 1t can get.
 In Inion there is strength and in cooperation there is profit.
 The farmer can neither help himself nor be helped by others until he organizes.
 The economic distribution of farm products is today the worlds greatest problem.
 Our transportation systems are the dry carts of agriculture and can be made peddlers of farm products.
 The middleman is nothing more than a farm hand but he is able to fix his own wages and to collect them and to multiply his transactions as he pleases. Bumper crops without market facilities have sent more farmers staggering down the back alleys of agriculture than all the pests and droughts that ever cursed the nation.

BEER TO PAY HALF
 OF THE WAR TAX

St. Louis Mo-, Oct. 21.-The war revenue tax of approximate ly $50,000,000 on the annual out put of beer is agreeable to the brewers of this city, although this industry already pays a yearly internal revenue tax of 165,000,000. The stamp tax on negotiable instruments, stocks and bonds, deeds, bills of lading, pullman car and steamship tick cts and insurance policies is eX- pected to yield $30,0OO,000 and the remainder will be raised by a levy on tobacco, patent medicines perfumes, cosmetics, theatre and amusement tickets and etc. The beer tax will yeild a revenue more than ten times greater than that of any other single commodity.

THE FRIENDS OF THE
 FARMER

The plan of the Saint Louis banker to assist the cotton farm CTS of the South is a further in- dication of the nationwide in- terests which is being manifest ed in the problems of the men who follow the blow.
 The movement is not intend ed as plan for purchasing cot ton, but is designed rather to make available a fund of $15O,- OOO,OOO to loan on cotton at not to exceed six cents per pound for the purpose of making cotton a liquid asset, stabilizing it's price and bringing about normal con- ditions again.
 It has been said that it takes great calamities to develop our friends and the present crisis is proof positive that the farmer has friends in every line of in- dustry who are willing to share his misfortunes and tighten his burdens. Strong men are strong only as they cooperate with oth- CT men, and the spirit of friend Illness on the part of the busi- ness man towards the farmer au- gurs we'll for the failure of the agricultural interests of the na- tiOn.

HOLLANDS POSITION
Washington Post

The position of Holland at this
 Juncture IS one of extreme deli cacy. The government is doing
 It's best to observe strict neu- trality. It is pressed on one side by the Germans. who ob- Ject to any action which would close the port of Rotterdam to
 German trade, and on the other side by the British government.
 which IS insistent upon shutting OH any cargoes of contraband or conditional cOntraband that might find it's way into Germany. Hollands commerce is thus be- tween two fires. The British surveillance is very rigid, re- sulting in some cases in a sus- pension of Dutch commerce.
 In order to avoid the compli- cations which would ensue if Germany were successful in inn porting supplies through Hol- land, the Dutch government has established military law along the German border. Official guaranty has been given that no contraband will be permitted to reach Germany. But in spite of this assurance, the British Gov ernment is diverting shipments of copper, harness and saddlery, clothing, barbed wire. and other conditional contraband, paying the consignors the full value of the material. and effectually pre- venting it's delivery to Germany.
 If Antwerp should fall before
 the German assault, the situa-
 tion would become still more diff ficult. The Dutch Government is required by treaty to keep the
 Scheldt open to commerce, but it is certain that the British fleet would attempt to close that riv-
 CT if Antwerp should be cap tured by the Germans. Whether the Government of Holland would regard the blockade of the Scheldt as an act of war remains to be seen. Public sentiment in Holland is said to be on the side of the allies, the people having a fear that their country might suffer the fate of Belgium. The Dutch Government, however, is conducting affairs with great pa tience and skill and Germany, on it's part. has been scrupulous in respecting Dutch territory. These conditions are subject to change in case of the fall of Ant werp. toward which the Germans are now directing tremendous efforts. The Belgian defense has lately been strengthened by the arrival of British artillery and a body of troops of unknown strength.

 inspection, etc.
 There are, strange as it may seem at first thought, certain modern industrial changes which canv with them detrimental fea- lures that are not apparent on the surface. A growing group among whom the amount of mus cular work done is small in com pariSon with the daily activities of their ancestors is coming into existence. We are not referring here to the fact that shorter hours of work have everywhere become the custom-that the blacksmith who formerly toiled twelve hours now completes his working day in eight hours. The changes which we have in mind here are a consequence of altered methods of conducting business with the modern extension of commerce.. Machinery has re- placed muscle. The develop ment of the industries by mach lnery has called for a different type of human working-power in which skill rather than strength lsrequired. As a modern writer has expressed it, the bodily qua ltleS of the worker have been forced by the employer more and more into the background of val uatlon. Industrial factory work requires not so much strong men %.perSonS who can perform with Sklll the many small tasks which lne machines have so far not been able to perform. Hence the tendency to employ children, an-groWn persons and women.
