1t is true that some parts of the coun-
try are profting by the manufact and
sale of war munitions On the other hand
there are hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars being sent from the United States for
the aid of the Red Cross society and to
the relief funds going to the Belgians
This money is taken from all over tho
country, east, west north and south in
cities and country villages: all are unit %
ing to aid the sufferers in the war zone
This money is not being sent to FIlropo
because the United States Is so rich that
1t Is superiiuous wealth. We are sending
these vast amounts of money, food and
clothing away from our country without
receiving any return or the thought OF It,
1t is given by a generous people for the
alienation of suffering and aid of IA
stricken people SO while n small area
and few people are profitng by tina
manufacture of war materials and re-
ioicing in the added prosperity 1t is bring
ing the community, the countless numbers
are denying themselves many comforts
and making real sacrifices to send relief
to those who have less than We. II IS in
congruous anyway for one part of the
United States to be gloating over war
orders, and making every effort To rush
the manufacture Of implements of war.

CROPS not AFFECTED BY MOON.

Scientists are now convinced that the
moon has no moro influence on crops
than II has upon the temperature or the
amount of rain or the winds or any other
weather element. The growth of plants
depends upan the amount of food in the
soil and in the air that IS available for
them and upon temperature, light. and
moisture. The moon obviously does not
AFFECT the character of the soil in any
way. neither does it affect the compost
tlon OF the atmosphere The only remain
Inns way in which 1t could influence
plant growth. therefore, is by its light.
Recent experiments, however. show that
full daylight is about 600. 90 times bright
err than full moonlight, Yet when a plant
gets l-l0oth part OF normal daylight II
thriVcs little better than In absolute dark
ness. If l-l0oth part of normal daylight
is thus too little to stimulate a plant
it seems quite certain that a 100000 part
can not have any affect at all. il Is there

popular Pekinese spaniels was looted and
carried away by British officer. no
realized their value, and it is commonly
said that from these two all the dogs
of this breed now in Europe are de-
seconded. This, however. is probably not
quite correct. Pekinesc spanies were
known in Doth Paris and London to a
few ardent dog-lovers at least ten years
prior to the Boxer rebellion, though where
they came from is something of mys-
terry.
Nevertheless, the craze for these pretty
little dogs among society folk undoubted-
ly had it's origin in the campaign for the
relief of the Pekin legations just as the
earlier fashion for the far larger but not
less interesting Chow dog can be traced
to the series of "opium wars" as they
were called, which we waged with China
in the middle OF the last century
The Chow-Chow, to give it its full and
proper name is of course the famed
edible dog" OF the old Chinese epicures,
and the first specimens were brought to
America and England by the shippers OF
the Yankee opium clippers, and by the
officers OF our men-of-war who regarded
them in the light of canine curiostlos
Finally, mention may be made of the
Tibetan mastff. the largest dog in the
world and probably the rarest in this
country. Their numbers, however. are
slowly increasing, and at most shows can
now be seen on exhibition the descend
ants of the two or three couples that
were brought back by our troops from
Lhassa after their victorious entry into
that city in 1901

even among the knowing ones. 1t Is
pointed out that corn in April averaged
at the farm throughout the country 10
cents compared with 62.l cents In 1914
and with 53.7 In 1918. This season the
spring price which influences planting
plans most directly, is the highest in
many years.
But other crops are correspondence

competition from both Argentina and
China. The west coast has recently been
importing from the latter country, and
last year approximately 9.0M,ON bushels
We're imported. mostly from Argentina
At higher prices and with a larger crop
in Argentina than before competition
with domestic corn is even more to he
