DIPLOMACY AND NATURE

Contending forces! The world to-
day is facing, perhaps, the most con-
crete and abstract form of contention
that has ever been recorded 1t is
something to say that one has lived
at time when the greatest war of al
history was in progress. "After the
war" is now something as much to be
anticipated as Before the war" be-
came a reality in Europe in 1871, anc
n America in 1865. 1t is strangely co
incident, too, that 1915 should find the
forces of man contestant in mighty
struggle at the moment when the ele
ments of nature are forcing them
selves apart in a great and devastat
ing series of earthquake convul-
tions that have stricken humanity il
an appalling manner. Man is posses
sed of many sides. His nature is as
incomprehensible as is the mystery o.
nature. The poet says:
"God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm"
How true! And as if to add SINH
larily of appreciation for Gods pur
poses, another poet wrote:
"The works of God are fair fol
Unless our eyes in seeing,
See hidden in the things the thought
That animates it's being"
We are, of course, impotent to stem
these forces that run in their wild
eruptive power. We can only stanC
agast and wonder But admiring the
sublimity of many of natures moods
we must at the same time marvel a
her awful temperament. AS for tn,
war, it is crime upon humanity wher
so few men as would not fill a bee
chamber can connive to bring on {
conflict of nations that takes million
lives in half year. Their frightfu
act has wrought greater havoc than al
the earthquakes of record. Diplomacy
as factor looking to the guidance O.
man, and tending to amity between
nations rights is hopeless farce. A.
between the power of the diplomat ant
the power of nature, the latter mus
accept the more humble position o.
playing second fiddle.

THE FIREMEN'S BALL.

The social success made by the Pal
SADIE firemen at their annual ball last
week was perhaps as charming an at
fair as ever took place in the Hilltop
section. 1t was enjoyable in every
sense. 1t brought feeling of good
cheer and neighborly intercourse, and
added zest and good fellowship to vii
lage life. There was good music,
merry laughter, celebrating dancing,
rhythmic and graceful, and the very
best of feeling throughout the evening.
Such affairs are certain in their re-
suit. They promote the very best re-
lations in the community, and incite
pride and faith in the future. The
firemen's annual ball should continue
the big event of the year. The lad
dies really did themselves proud.

OUTLOOK SEEMS BRIGHTER
WILLIAM A. BURNETT IN COURIER
JOURNAL.

A careful analysis of the live
stock businesssas regards the en-
tire country for the year 1914
shows the steady decrease Of
food animals. A falling off can
be noted in receipts at practical
ly every live stock center. It
has been a year of marked uncer-
tainties. frequent and sharp
fiuctuation in prices.
From a market point of view
the most salient feature of the
year 1914 was the big falling off
in receipts. Chicago, the largest
market in the world, shows a
falling off of:275, 900 cattle, H.
600 calves, 952, 900 hogs and $685.
600 sheep-leading the decrease
by twenty lengths when the to.

ed. Kansas City shows a de-
crease in cattle receipts of more
than 300, 900 head for the year.
Thess enormous shortages show
there is something radically
wrong. The livestock industry
to the farmer, who is the real
producer, if properly handled. is
a remunerative vocation. 1t is
one of thesindustries of rural life
that does not call for the same
amount of manuel labor, or real
hard work, that many other
lines demand, and with current
prices the raising and fattening

drouth was broken in time to

matters were in such shape that
the average farmer accustomed
