FARMERS ARE WAKING UP
Practical Cooperation by the Spruce

FTTdCtlCdIr SO7OpeIdtlON@D ny VIC OpIuCS
s Valley Shippers Association.
L. B. Brandstrom, president of the
Spruce Valley Shippers Association,
was a caller at this Office Tuesday.
Mr.. Brandstrom says the association
is proving to be profitable thing
for the farmers. The association is
contemplating cooperation in the
matter of potato growing and ship
ping next year. By agreeing among
themselves to raise one variety Of po-
tatoes, and cooperating in the buy
ing and. use of potato planters and
diggers, they can make a handsome
profit out Of raising potatoes. It will
pay them in two ways, for besides
being enabled to secure a ready mark
ct for their potatoes at price that
will pay them we'll for their labor, in
raising potatoes they are fertilizing
their land and eradicating the foul
weeds, thus insuring profitable crop
Of grain on the land the following
year. It is good move and one that
should be taken by the farmers of
every township Middle River Pho
neer.

Preparedness Shares the Spirit of
'Militarism.'

'Militarism.'
We had hoped that the lesson of
the great war would be a reaction
against militarism, a strengthening
of the international arbitration idea
and probably, disarmament. Ger
tainly at the end of the war, ex-
hausted and devastated Europe ought,
like ''souse" after a drunk, be filled
with never again" feeling; re-
morse should work change Of heart
and amendment of life.
Militarism has never thriven in the
United States, but we should expect
that the lesson Europe learns out of
her ordeal should also go home to us.
1t is surprising, therefore, at this
juncture, to see a lesson quite of an
other and opposite kind in propagan-
da, to-wit: the agitation for a larger
army and navy, under the plea Of
preparedness.
What is preparedness" 1t is
militarism played with the soft ped
al
Germany did not build up her army
for aggression or conquest. Time and
again the Kaiser proclaimed himself
''the emperor Of peace" He drew the
sword in, August, 1914, because "the
war was forced upon him" That's
what he said, and most of his people
believed him; just as sincerely, no
doubt, as most of our, present advo-
Gates Of preparedness" believe that
their project is for national defence
purely, and not for aggression.
Thousands Of those who advocate
preparedness" side with the Allies
in the present world conflict, because,
as they say, civilization demands
the permanent downfall of Prussian
militarism." They exemplify what a
keen English writer said early in the
conflict: 'The great danger is that
we shall overcome Prussian militar-
ism and be ourselves overcome by the
spirit Of Prussian militarisri,.'' . - The
Northwestern Chronicle.

Will Work Overtime

avoid Christmas jam In the Omaha
postoffics this year He says there il
no sense IN having Christmas packages
and Christmas cards delayed three or
four days, as they usually are.
I'VE will work the postofflce clerks
from twelve to fourteen hours a day all
next week." he said. instead Of their
usual eight. / have arranged for the
automobile delivery trucks used in the
parcel post service to work till 10 O'Clock
every night instead Of quitting at p. m
as they do now.
However" concluded the postmaster
I'VE shall not work on Sunday. l think
everything Will be right up TO time SO
that clerks and carriers can be free that
day TO attend divine services"
Tho extra work Is welcomed by practi-
cally all tho workers. because It means
a substantial bit OF extra Christmas
money In their pay envelopes.
'rhe Christmas mail this year IL
much heavier already than at this time
last year" said Mr.. Wharton, though
there Is a marked falling off in foreign
mall, The great Increase In the parcel
post business more than offsets the loss
in the foreign mall"
In this connection it IL noteworthy that
while parcel post packages are not taker
at parcel post rates TO Germany. Aus
tria, Hungary. Turkey. Belgium and
northern France. packages can be sent
TO all these countries at letter rates, 5
cents for the first ounce and ? cents
for each additional ounce.
