NEW KINKS IN NEUTRALITY

There comes from England and from Germany at the m
same time an interesting view OF new sloe OIL Vne
neutrality puzzle. .,.o5 41,o4 ho
When the war opened Kitchener discovered tnat ne ne
was without supply of ammunition or arms ana @ t@naC
England had nothing like the necessary manufacturing
capacity He knew however, that in one OF the manu-
featuring ceners of neutral country there was an
immense plant with the equipment needed Tor turning
out such supplies Instead of making contracts Tor the
goods, he bought the whole establishment lock, STOCK
cock and barrel They pulled it down, moved the ma
chinery to England set it up again and went to manu-
featuring what was needed.
# it should be decided in the Wisconsin case that
American manufacturers must no longer manufacture
war materials and sell them to begerents it would still
he possible for the plants to be bought shipped to Eng
land set up and put to work. .,.o
What could the German foreign office say about that
Nothing that would have weight But how would
the American people like it?
Another instance of the shifting Of big industry be-
cause of the war; comes to light The report that two
large chemical and ananedye concerns OF Germany are
to establish branch plants in New Jersey is interesting
and important if true. Germans lead the world IN the
dyesuf industry, fact well known in the BUSINESS
world even before the war; but made better known since
by reason of the famine in dyesufs when supplies from
Germany were shut off by the war.
We can trade the whole English ammunition business
for the German dye business and still be heavy winners

TOO MUCH MONEY-IN SPOTS

That business is much better throughout the country
than it was several weeks ago there is not the slightest
doubt In some sections of the East and Middle West the
depression is thing Of the past and normal conditions
prevail again. according to adyces which cannot be dis
puted For instance, Coos Bay paper prints letter
from c. v Olson cashier of bank at Nakot N d., con-
cemng some property he owns at the former place, in
which he says:
note that times are quiet around parts of the Pacific
Coast which is quite different from this part of the
country If we get another crop this year like we had
last season. this will certainly be booming country
Right now all the banks around here carrying too
much money and it is mighty hard to loan as there is
no demand | guess this speaks pretty well for North
Dakota and the future of the country as whole.
81 sincerely hope that we get another bumper crop
jhis season. as it will benefit myself, well all con-
cened Last year. got 10 bushels Of wheat per on
my farm This was mighty good crop If it does this
well this season, | will visit you next January or
February"
1t seems that Mr. Glbertson of Malshfeid wrote to
Mr. Olson about the sale of some lots which the latter has
the Bay but he refused to sell them saying he did not
know what he would do with the money,
Too much money! That sounds good

TALKS ON THRIFT
THE COST OF WASTE

Men do not reap in the spring, my dear,
Nor are granaries filled in May,
Save it be with u harvest of former
years
Stored up for rainy day,
The Seasons will keep their own true
time
You can hurry nor furry nor sod:
1t IS honest labor and steadfast thrift
That alone are blessed by God.
Alfred Austin
a prominent agriculturst says that
many American farmers have not got
down to farming as a business, and
that the richness Of their soil is the
only thing that savec them from
failure.
Speaking of the waste of fodder, he
says:
"There are weeds enough in many
corn fields to fatten carload of sheep,
allowing them to eat the down stalks,
the lower blades, and the low-hanging
ears that the farmer would hardly miss.
"We are great wasters of corn f0d-
der. All through Ohio and Indiana, and
even in New England, one sees farmers
busy taking down their corn shocks, all
weather beaten on the outside, husking
them out by hand, throwing the corn
ito piles on the ground, to be picked up
again, and then tying up the fodder,
leaving much of the valuable fodder
outside to be weathcred before it is
fed to the stock.
Even greater waste Is that in the
corn that is not harvested. Iowa, Hin
ois, eastern Kansas and Nebraska, and
southern Minnesota had about forty
million acres of corn last year, Of which
probably not more than one-fourth was
harvested for the siio or the shock or
for shredding, The rest goes to waste,
and it amounts to over one.third Of the
feeding value of the whole crop"
But the city dweller, be he business
man or manufacturer, cannot afford to
point the finger Of scorn at the farmer
rs waster, because waste is rampant
in the cities likewise.
Lewis +. Theis, who has investigated
the subject thoroughly, is authority fol
the statement that unnecessary coal
smoke costs American industries and
American cities very great many mil
lions Of dollars yearly.
Black smoke consists largely Of un
consumed coal particles thrown into the
atmosphere by improper stoking. Smoke
also contains acids Of value which not
only are usually wasted, but they are
also destructive of everything they
/ touch.
The pollution of our atmosphere with
smoke places heavy burden upon us

Roseburg Review: Sheriff Alfred
Johnson, of Coos county, after brief
visit here yesterday, left this morning
for San Francisco, where he has been
summoned to appear as witness
against the counterfeiters recently
captured on San Francisco bay. The
men were taken aboard the boat
Barnacle, which was well known on
Coos Bay. According to the sheriff
they had been watched for some time
by the Oregon officials, but managed
to slip out of the state without being
detected. One of the men confessed
while Ed Wilson, against whom the
sheriff has some valuable evidence, is
still fighting the charge. Wilson sew
eral years ago operated at Gardiner
and Sheriff Quine still has a warrant
for his arrest for bootlegging He
made his getaway from Deputy Sheriff
Worcester when he had the latter wait
while he stepped into another room
for his coat. This incident was the
cause of much chagrin to the official
who went to make the arrest.
