FASTER AND FASTER.

The sickening tragedy Of last week,

True, this accident was not the result
OF SPEEDING. 1t was caused by an
accident to the front axle, but that
simply illustrates the fact Of the fall

Well. It's this way. The middle
men, who make the apple market,
cannot borrow. II they want to. but
they don't want to, for they do not
know II they can reach Germany or
any other general market. II the try.
The result Is that there are no large
buers. Suppose this results In q loss
of only 81 on a barrel of apples; that
would mean a national loss OF about
$60.000,000, and all this because GER
tain countries, with all of which we
are at peace, are turning to the ella
borate job of killing each others peo-
pie, so as to make peace again later
Now that's good yankee figuring.
We've lost $60,000,000 because there's
a war across the water? Have we!
who has lost it? spectators or apple
growers? Lets try little logic. IL
the apple crop of the United States FOR
the 1914 sells for $60,o00,00Q less than IL
would, If no war occurred SOMEBODY
must have saved this $6O,OO0,O0O. II
those millions have been taken Off the
price because of the war. and the ap-
pies consumed were at home, as they
surely will be, then we, the consum-

Again, no one can lose what he does
not possess. The apple growers, or
the spectators did not have this $6p,-
100000. They had the possibility but
not the cold cash. Therefore, theS
lost nothing and we, the consumers OF
the apple crop of the United states
saved s6o,00o,000. Too bad this figur-
ing cannot be applied to sugar. flour
and meat.-A. p. A., Marshalltown,

THE KID AND HIS COASTER.
fThompson Cour;erl


There is one nuisance tina: ought to
be prohibited, or at least minimized,
and that is the nefarious practice some
youngsters have of spreading them
selves all over the sidewalks with
coaster wagons. II these kinds knew
their place 1t wouldn't be so bad; but
they all appear to be imbued with the
idea that the sidewalks were built for
their especial use and that you ought
to get out of their way when they
come tearing along with those damna-
bile vehicles Of Satan. A three by
four youngster propelling enc OF these
internal machines can stir up more
noise than all the armed forces OF Eu-
rope, and Is about as great menace
to the innocent civilians. The editor
met one of those pestiferous polliwogs
the other day in crossing enc of the
streets and but for the fact that we
still remembered some Of the aero
battles we knew in youth the little ras-
cal with his rafting and raucrous rat
tie wagon would have spilled us all
over the sidewalk. Many towns have
ordinances prohibiting this sort OF
nuisance, and we ought to have an or
dinance of the same kind here. Make

The awful struggle to which tho con-
tinent Of Europe has committed Itself.
be 1t short or long, opens to American
women opportunity for a patriotic SER
vice of unique and inestimable value.
1t Is a service the more binding be-
cause it il a 1ong-ignored duty.
What in this crisis is the highest
obligation of these United States OF
America--neutrality aside? 1t Is to see
that no man IL idle, no wheel stops.
Whatever tho uncertainties. patriotism
demands that our factories and mines
and mills be kept open and busy. We
owe 1t to the world that when this
mad and barbaric enterprise Is over
there shall be one great country,
among those who boast themselves az
civilized, carrying on the pursuits OF
peace.
The crisis has brought us face to
face with what we have not--ships,
for instanoe-with what we can not
do for ourselves. What woman 10 there
among us who loves to encourage taste
and elegance that has not been forced
to realize how dependent ste is today
! for what she wants, not OF her own
country but on Europe? Would that
with this realization there could 90 the
reflection that this is 80 because she
has never given her country intelligent.
continuous support In it's effort to pro-
duce the things she demands.
What is the label on which we
American women pride ourselves? Do
we boast that the silk in our gowns
came from massachusetts, the cloth In
our coats from Rhode Island. that our
L. to,
house furnishings in Grand Rapids!
Not we. There Is scarcely woman
of us between the Atlantic and the
Pacific that does not love the feel OF
the word imported on her tongue.
What were the frantic. hedraggled.
! moneyless American women who fled
from Europe in early August hugging
to their breasts? Paris hats and Bel
gian laces. French silks and Swiss en-
broideries. Viennese gowns and Ger
sands Of American women who
crowded Europe when war seized her,
there was scarcely one that was not
planning to bring home nil her income
allowed of finery.
These personal importat!ons are but
a tagatelle beside those OF merchants.
which in many lines run into the tens
of millions annually. Hats and bon
nets and feathers and flowers come
into this country 10 the tune OF al least
$40 100000 a year: jewelry between
$40, 100000 and $4,000. 900; silks made
up and in the piece. nearly 100000
600 Ard so one might go on thru the
bew.ldering assortment OF articles
which make for our elegance.
Why do we do 1t? "Because"--any
woman of taste and knowledge will tell
you this-'I can get In European pro-
ducts more beauty of design, more
snap in style. more cunning in de-
tails, more durability in material"
And why?
Are American manufacturers and
designers incapable of this superior
craftsmanship and art? No. the truth
is that American women have never
given them fair opportunity to prove
what they can do. Consider for . mo-
ment what it would mean 10 our man.

this stimulus.
Moreover If these women had the
opportunity to choose between two
equally good pieces Of work, domestic
and foreign. they would every time
take the foreign. That Is the fact OF
the relation Of the woman OF the
United States, who can influence these
things. to her country's industry. She
has little sense Of responsibility, little
loyalty, or pride in this matter.
And what are the results to indus
try? Can our manufacturers do any
thing else than become makers OF
cheap goods? Would they do other
wise if they could?
It has been my business to go much
in the last few years among American
manufacturers. One Of the things
which has impressed me deepest has
been the men who wanted to make
good things; who apologized for cheap
wares.

beautiful designs for summer cottons
as were ever made, and heard the
manufacturer say, with longing In his
voice:
III we could put these into fine. soft

not buy expensive domestic goods. She
demands the foreign mark"
AS pliable. durable. and beautifully
finished silks as there are In the world
can be made here in quantities. But
where IL the American woman who
boasts that she wears American silks?
The day has come for the American
woman to wake up to her duty to the
industries OF this country. Our COM
mon people have paid terrible price
to establish them. but they never can
be developed to their place and power
without her aid and stimulus. Now is
her time. Temporarily. At least, the
maeistrom which has sucked In all
Europe deprives her Of supplies. This
is her time to learn what her own
country's industries can do and to
rally with all her influence to their
support urging them to make the
things she want, pledging them her al
| legiance.
To keep the American people at
work thru this crisis: to show the
world what patriotic peace means, as
| opposed TO patriotic war: tn offer at
the end Of this struggle a picture of the
fruits OF each so striking that men
can never forget it--that is our duty as
a nation. One Of the most substantial
contributions that the American wom
an can make to the fulfillment Of this
duty is to give steady. intelligent sup
