WHY WAR is BAD FOR FAR.
MERS EVERYWHERE.

In the current issue of Farm
and Fireside, the national farm
paper published at Springfield,
Ohio. DR.. David Starr Jordan,
president of Leland Stanford
University, writes an interesting
article entitled, "The Farmer
and War" in which he shows
how farmers everywhere, includ-
ing farmers of America, lose as a
result Of this war. He says that
we are all in the same boat and
that whatever harms prosperity
in one part of the world Injuries
us all. For some of his products
the American farmer may get a
little more. For other articles
he may have no market at all.
Whoever buys of him must have
money to buy with. Food is
cheap in England today because
SO many go without their usual
food, buying on the articles. In
London a month ago the finest
fruit was sold for next to moth
ing. In war there is no demand
for Injuries, no care for COM

WHAT CITY FOLKS LIKE
FROM THE COUNTRY

In the current issue of Farm
and Fireside a contributor tells
what wonders the parcel post
has brought about in the way of
giving the country woman a
chance to send the city woman
products of the farm. Many
suggestions are made in the ar
ticle one Of which follows:
why not send country sau-
sage to some city friend? Put it
twice through the grinder, sea-
son it with salt and black pep
per, sage and cayenne, then
pack it into little crooks or stuff
it into skins and link it. Add to
this a little sack of homegrown
buckwheat flour SO that yeast
raised buckwheat cakes may ac-
company the sausage, and there
will be no one late in the family
you send it to-"

millions of people nothing to buy

is the interest of all so far as
farmers and Workmer are con-
cerned. He goes on in part as
follows:
The farmer has no greater
enemy than war. The war to-
day has its primal motive to keep
the farmer down. 1t IS, at
bottom, the fight of pride and
privilege against the common
man. It is the last stand of i'm:
perialism against democracy. It
isl the last supreme effort of
those who believe that some men
and some nations are good
enough to rule other men and
nations against their will. This
is not the whole story of the
war, but it is what the war has
come to mean. No nation can
make money out of any war. and
no nation that begins a war can
tell how it will end. But in
every war there are some few
men, contractors, g%unmakers,
template makers, who make a
good deal of money. And so.
long as the Krupps, the Vickers,
and the Schneiders Of Europe,
the INC r plate patriots of
Germany, England. and France,
have their way there will always
be war, and the farmers of the
world will pay for it."
