II Can't Be Done

The vast change that has OF late
come over the democratic policies,
the bustling activity in behalf Of ma
tional defense, the renewed rumors Of
something TO be done in Mexico, the
inlimations that Congress will be sum-
moned ia extra session, and the vague
whisperings Of tariff revision upward as
a means to help a PROSTATE treasury
all these things indicate no iundament'
al changes Of heart on the part Of the
Administration or Of the democratic
party. In their inmost souls the dem
ocratic leaders would even now far
rather spend ten millions on creek
Improvements" in the south than on
a battleship. They care no more for
outraged American women and mur-
dered American men and pillaget
property in Mexico than they ever did.
And as for a high tariff, it is 10 them
as abhorent a thought as ever.
Democratic solicitude is reserved
Tor the democratic party exclusively.
It is not the nation, but the democrat
ic party that seems to them imperilled.
To save their places, to continue the
Administration with all its patronage,
means everything TO them-and they
hope, BY show Of activity, by a
formal change Of policy, with no real
intent in it, to convince the country
that the democratic party is worthy o.
Of a continuance in power. Their
shift OF policy comes late; reluctant
and unimportant. The country hs!
already passed its judgment. NJ
democratic administration, garbed il
the stolen clothes Of Republicanism
can deceive anybody now. They
couldn't do it even if they were sincere

Advertising Advertising

The Associated Advertising Clubs ol
the World now have a special com
mittee busy plotting out campaign
that will advertise advertising. The
profession thus will become sell'regald-
ing for a season and, foster publicity
about publicity. All the varieties ol
specialists will be enliSted-makers Of
newspapers copy, painters Of billboardS
and illuminators Of the skyline. To
show what advertising is, what it has
done and what it may reasonably be ex'
pected TO do-given unity Of purpose
and action within its own ranks-wiIl
be the motive underlying the campaign.
One who looks on the proposition
from the sidelines, as it were,
and weighs it as disinterestedly as
possible, if he keeps both motive and
proposed method in view must see
that the scheme can be more propiti-
ously launched now than it could have
been FIVE years ago. During the hall
decade advertising middlemen, who
mediate between producers and con
sumers Of goods and sellers and buy.
ers Of advertising space, have been
finding themselves and defining and
establishing their code Of business
ethics. They have done this with ;
precision, thoroughness and coOrdina
tion OF views and conduct probably
not equaled by any other group in III,
business world. Not content will
stressing what is true in the abstrac
or with facile, fluent declaration
Of ideals, they have formally and ex
plicitly codifed and standardized con
duct, and then provided modes Of en-
forcing dicipline. OF course this pro
cess has not gone on without both Sc,
OF persons who are. served By advert;
ing men noting it and being infuenc
ed byit. Neither producer nor cor
? sumer, seller nor buyer, can fail 10 Sc
that the advertising middleman is moi
D OF practical idealist than he used
/, be. He still wishes 10 do bushes

The Ordinary Thing

Revenues derived by the State from

because Mr.. Barker is not an ordi-

An ordinary man would never have
tried TO sustain a suit against the rail-
roads for rebate Of excess charges
under the two'cent fare law, when he
had not a shred Of authority to repre-.

Build SiIos to Save Immature Corn

The lateness Of planting, the slow
growing season, and heavy rains, all
point reward a large percentage Of
immature corn this fall. What are
you going to do with your soft corn?
Are you prepared to can it'?
The live stock farmer can proftably
utilize this soft corn by putting it in a
silo. The silo is an investment which
pays high interest on the live stock
farm. The man who has no silo will
have to do the best he can.
Now is the time to build while the
silo filling season is several weeks dis
tant. A silo to be successful must be
air tight, the walls smooth, and strong
enough to withstand the outward pres
sure Of silsge. A silo that meets these
requirements Will be successful regard
less of the material with which it i:
built.
Bulletin i33 and other publications
on silos and silage by the Missour
Agricultural Experiment Station a
Columbia contain valuable hints OF
silos and the use Of silage. Ere,
plans and instructions for building con
crete silos can also be obtained. 4
man will be sent to help stsrt the silo
where the farmer desires and is vii
ling to pay his travelling expenses.

but in juster, more truthful way; and
below certain standards OF conduct he
will not fall, be the peculinary tempt
alton wnat it may.
With reason, then, the advertising
clubs may enter on this campaign
hopefully. They nave earned the
good will oi the United States and
Canada for their work in standardiz'
ing business ethics. What they say
about their business on its technical,
economic and wealthcreating sides will
gain in force by the confidence created
in the business world and with the
reading public By their search for right
ways Of telling the truth about vend'
ible things. Present ambition 10 be a
worthy one, since it will be growth up
and not down, out and not in. Hav-
ing made advertising advertisable its
advertisement may well begin.
Two practical steps in advance by
promoters OF clean advertising are
about to be taken generally, and the
sooner the better for ali concerned,
since, where the choice already has
been made, profit in a tangible form
has come as a reward for decency.
We refer to exclusion OF advertisements
Of liquor and fraudulent and specula-
tive business. Journals which take
this stand, add advertising agents who
advise it and promote it, advertise ad-
vertising in way that appeals to the
best nature Of the people. Christian

already too small, money it had recei'

Granted that other funds need mon

Legislature, without regard to whether
the treasury would be able to supply 1t
or not, and that this puts the admins

Suppose the movement to separate the

we hope it some time willard the
right TO tax real estate and personal

How to Can Green Beans For Winter Use

Green Beans, which are so plentiful
at present, may be canned easily.
Canned beans form a pleasant addition
to the winter diet.
The home economics Of the Univers'
ity Of Missouri at Columbia tells how
to can beans. In preparation, wash
and string the beans as il for immedi'
ate use. Next pack, them in jars as
as tightly as possible, covering with
water and adding ateaspoonlul OF salt
to each quart. Put on the rubbers
and tops, adjusting loosely, then place
on a rack Of some sort or layer OF straw
in the bottom Of boiler and cover
with clean water. Boil for two hours,
counting from the time the water be-
gins to boil. Remove from the water
and seal Immediately.
The best jar for this purpose is one
that lastcns with a wire spring. In
using this style Of jar, the glass tops
are put in place, held on loosely with
with the wire passing over the top,
After removing from the hot water
the wire spring is tightened, thus seal
ing the jar. The reason for sealing
while hol is that steam, not air, is
contained in the jar. This steam con-
denses when the jar cools and leaves
a vacuum which holds on the top Of the
jar.
The jar should be tested from day
10 day by releasing the spring. You
should be able to lift the weight Of
the jar by the glass top. II the top
loosens when this is tried, then the
sealing is imperfect or the contents Of
the jar is spelling, II The spelling
has not gone too far, the contents oil
the jar can be resterilized in the same
way as the beginning.

Appalling Losses

We do not necessarily have to ac-
cept the report Of the French War Of
fee as to the casualties sustained
BY all the belligerents as
conclusive, any more than we did
the purported Red Cross report, made
public by the German consul general
at Denver. But it is safe to assume
that France did not exaggerate It's own
losses. Its report as to the other allies
may also be approximately correct,
although there is possibility that in
in order to impress the people Of
France that they are not bearing all
the burden Of war the losses OF the
allies are magpiied. But the indis-
putable, although almost inconceivable
fact is that 100000 soldiers Of France
had been killed prior to June /, while
100000 were wounded and 10000
taken prisoners. This covered nine
months Of the war.
The figures are beyond reach Of the
mind, 1t is only by comparison that
they can be comprehended. The
Union killed in all the battles Of the
civil war amounted TO but 67,058.
Deaths from wounds, disease and other
causes, such as accidents, murder,
Confederate prisons, etc., brought up
the total to 349,944. How many Of
the 100000 wounded Frenchmen will
die cannot be estimated, but thanks to
the advance in surgery and hospital
facilities, the percentage will be low
er than in our civil war. The French
report for the same period says that
1,350,000 Russian soldiers we're killed,
1,680.000 wounded and $4,000
taken prisoners. The estimate does
not include the results Of the recent
| fighting in the east. Little depend
ence can be placed on the French
estimate oil German and Austrian los
ses, but the casualties genarally sur
pass anything in ike period Of pre-
vious history is clear. While it has
been computed that up to the middle
OF the nineteenth century no less than
$500, 100000 men had perished on
on the field Of battle, the ancients
we're liberal guessers on the size oI
crowds. They had nothing fit 10 be
called military statistics. II $780,,
900 men we're killed during the frs'
nine months Of the present war, al
the French report, there will be nj
question about it being the bloodies
picture in the book Of time. Globe
