The neigh of a horse made Darius
King Of Persia, the six contendins
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom. This ancient method Of
settling disputes among politicians
could be revived with profit today
II our partisan factions and petty pol
iticians could only settle their dis.
putes by the neigh Of a horse, the
bark OF a dog or the bray of a donkey.
1t would be a great blessing and would
give our citizens better opportunity
to pursue the vacations of industry
free from political strife.
Let those who pick political plums
by raising rows and who flash swords
dripping in the blood of industry TN
aerstand that they cannot turn the
public forum into a political arena and
by a clash Of personal aspirations
still the hammer and stop the plog
and that their quarrels must be settled
In the back alleys Of civilization.

THE VITAL PROBLEM Of

BY Peter Radford.

There Is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
/ OF agriculture will not be attained
until it is solved, for a market
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop
Governmental and educational insti.
tutions have spent s1so,o0O.0 900 In the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
of agriculture.
The problem is monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until it gets within the grasp of a
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom of the age
upon 1t. 1t La a problem which the
farmers, merchants, bankers, editors
and statesmen must unite in solving
The Farmers Union stands for all

l1eye in promoting one to the neglect
OF the other. We consider the work
OF farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and com.
mercial agencies seeking to help us,
continue to give us their assistance
and advice, but we believe that their
influence should be extended to the
marketing side or our farm problems
also
We cannot hope to develop manu-,

like children; that they can stand
hearing bad news, and that when the
situation is put before them with
frankness they can actually be as
patriotic as Frenchmen-or Germans
War a Business.
But the one big 1esson-which the
Germans have taught him-ls that
war nowadays is quite as much or
business as it is science. He mas
seen all the old theories of warfare
upset. He wasn't prepared Tor the
change in styles. He had no idea the
system of trench warfare would be-
come so highly developed; that such
an amount of high explosive shells
would become necessary; that pre-
ponderating supply of machine guns
might spell all the difference between
success and failure; that the Germans
would introduce the use of asphyxiat-
ing gas, liquid fire, and other like
agencies hitherto unrecognized in the
conduct of civilized warfare-but
above all that the German superiority in
the new style of fighting was due to
the mobilization of the entire indus
trial resources of the empire coin
cidentally with the mobilization of sol
diers.
France Finds Self.
From France: In short perhaps the
greatest accomplishment to Frances
credit in the last twelve monts is tn at
she has found herself.
The moment the general mobiliza-
ton order was posted in France all
classes rallied to the tri-color. Gustave
Herve tried to enlist. Labor became
a marvel of efficiency and patriotism.
AntimilitariStS boosted it considering
it against what they are against
militarism. Socialists became cabinet
members, one now holding a position
similar to that of Lloyd George, min
lister of munitions, in England.
1t was the sacred union, one or
Frances greatest accomplishments
Instead of revolt in the ranks, the
troops dried the tears of wives, sweet
hearts and mothers with laughter and
went their way to war singing.
Great Doubt Lifted.
The Great Doubt has been lifted
from the heart of France.
The accomplishment of this was
the grandest deed of French arms in
all the year of Armageddon which be-
gan year ago this week. In history
the feat will be known as the victory
of the Battle of the Marine.
Henceforth, whatever may happen
to the French soldier, he will refuse
to be discouraged. He can advance,
retreat or doggedly hold what he has
won, any or all, with tenacity and
good cheer. He has faith in his of
f1cers and faith in himself. He knows
the war may be long, but he grins and
grits his teeth. Wen get 'em at
last!'' he says.
The ghost of 1870 has been laid.
When General de Maud'huy blocked
the kaiser's legions in their smashing
drive for Dunkirk, Calais and BOu-
logne, he scored for France one of the
biggest victories of the first year of
the Great War.
