I'm an interview with The Free
Press at Garden City, Senator Moses
r. Clapp, seemed to exercise very lii :
tie concern about the dangers of the
United States becoming involved in
the European struggle. The senator's
attitude was not taken because of the
fact that II made little or no differ
ence to himself personally, but from
facts he has gained because Of his
close association with the govern
men. If Washington Is not excited "a
an alarming degree. IL behOoves the
masses to be very considerable. AS the
senator says. talk as little about the
war as possible, there is the very re-
hottest chance that the United States
VIII become cntangled."
According to the senator. the next
congress will more than likely vote
TO stop the sale of all intoxicating liz
ours I'm the District of Columbia. A
drastic prohibition law was framed
last winter and escaped passage by
the narrowest margin.
The senator said that he was sur
prised to know how great n change
the farmers could make in farm prod J.
ucts by very little Improvement on
the part of each farmer. II was es-
timated from government reports that
last year at least $4,000, 000.GO could
have been added to the corn crop re-
turn by a little extra care on the part
of every farmer who raised corn. This
certainly urges for a wave of con
servation among the farmers of this
country. not only on the corn crop.
but on every crop they raise.
