There is no shortage of merchant
ships on the North Atlantic, in fact
there is an abnormal supply Of them,
N the opinion of the Philadelphia Rec
ord which saysthat the apparent short
age is produced BY the abnormally large
exports. For six months, the United
States has been sending out 1000, 600
bushels Of wheat per day. In the first
week Of this month, the wheat exports
we're 10000, 900 bushels. almost double
the exports Of year ago. But this
month, the wheat harvest Of Argentina
and Australasia occurs and it is due in
India ia April. Thus very shortly the
demand on the American wheat supply
will automatically relax. 1t is also true
that Russia harvested a great crop in
1914 which because Of q stoppage Of
transportation due to the war has not
vet found q market.

HOPE ON

There was never a day so misty and gray
That the blue was not somewhere above it.;
There is never a mountain top ever so bleak
That some little flower does not love it. IT..
There was never a night so dreary and dark Is
That the stars were not somewhere shining
There is never a cloud so heavy and black
That it has not a silver lining. 80
There was never a waiting-time, weary or long
That will not sometime have an ending;
most beautiful part of the landscape is wher
The shadows and sunshine are blending. ,.4
Upon every life some shadow will fall, & :
But heaven sends the sunshine of love;
Thro' the riffs in the clouds we may, if we will,
See the beautiful blue above.
Then let us hope on. tho the way be long, 4
And the darkness be gathering fast; i,
For tho turn in the road is a little way on, Il
Where the home lights will greet us at last"

The naval reserve plan cbampioned
by Secretary Daniels has the distinc-
tion Of fitting in with the traditional
policy of this nation upon the ques-
ton of preparedness for war. That
policy is a small army and a capable
navy, backed by a citizenry that
stands ready to defend the nation
from any aggression. Mr.. Daniels
plan is to utilize the trained men who
lea We the naval service as a reserve
to be called upon when it is necessary
to man the fighting machines with
capable men. Its utility lies in the
fact that necessarily, under a fonr
years enlistment, there must always
be a large perc entage of only partly
trained met upon III cruisers.

FOR $40 ACRE HOMESTEAD

Rapid City Journal: AT the United
States land Office yesterday a tele-
gram was received from Congress
man Martin stating that the $40 acre
grazing homestead bill passed the
house of representatives yesterday.
This measure must yet pass the sen
ate before it becomes a law. 1t is
not known as to the specific provi-
sions of the bill as it passed the house.
1t may be that it is the bill which
provides for a $40 acre homestead,
applicable to lands suitable for graz
ing only, and for which there is no
known source of water supply for
irrigation.

There is no evidence of a strong
legislative desire to abolish the death
penalty in South Dakota, in compli-
ance with the recommendation of the
governor. A bill was introduced
having that object in view aud it was
reported back from it's committee
without recommendation. The com
mittee had no opinion to express and
preferred to have the matter thresh-
ed out or the floor. The question of
life or death is now left to the jury
trying a case and that seems to be
satisfactory.

"EAsY KEEPERS."

stockmen recognize certain
breeds Of animals as being
"easy keepers" An easy keep
er eats less food than the aver
age animal because it Utilities
better the food that it does con-
sumo; there is more complete
digestion and assimilation and
less waste. The same difference
exists in different animals. The
OK eats a large amount of food
in proportion to its size and
growth, the goat a small amount.
The same difference exists in
human beings. Some eat large
rations though they do not gain
much in flesh, others eat little
but maintain weight. The stock
man finds it economical to Sc
Iect easy keeper$, and in these
times of high cost of living
"easy keepers" are quite desir-
able In tho ordinary household.
The average person eats far too
much and too complex a diet
Thorough masticatiop and oc-
casionaI fasting tend to reduce
the amount of food required.
This is desirable not so much
for financial economy as for
physiological, for every unit Of
energy expended in digestion
and elimination beyond what Is
necessary, is waste.

 In this the clergy, German news papers say, have been especially help full. German officers and privates are also said to have given up their gold pocket money with which they start ed for the front.

No Peace for Austria.

 PETROGRAD, Jan. z2.-Rumors which have been in circulation for some time to the effect that Austria was seeking to conclude a separate peace agreement with Russia, without the consent of Germany, meet with emphatic denials in official circles here. A person in a position to speak authoritatively on this subject gave two basic reasons why, in his opin- ion, such an agreement would be i'm. possible.
 "The Dual Monarchy is bound to Germany by indissoluble ties, and has assumed such obligations that she is helpless until released by Germany, , said this authority.
 Furthermore, the Russian attitude as announced at the beginning of the war was that all Slavs must be freed from the German yoke. Therefore Russia's demands are such that if the Dual Monarchy should accede to them it's action would be suic dal. Austria -Hungary's consent to a separ- ate peace is not at all likely until she reaches the point of utter exhaus- tion."

THE coLoNEL'S ACUTE EAR.

MT. Roosevelt is an astute polite ian. The slight swelling of his right ear is due to his keeping it tight to the ground all the time. The earth is his dictograph. Vox populi would reach him through the subcellar Of the Tower of Silence. Therefore when he reaches a conclusion on matters political, presumably as the result of reflection upon the recent election. his opinion is entitled to considera- tion. In a letter to friend in Ore gon MT. Roosevelt says that the pub lie is tired of hearing of reformers and of hearing from reformers.
 That may all be true. But MT. Roosevelt then goes a step further and asserts that because of the wear mess of the public on those questions it therefore is especially tired of him.
 Never! In the first place, MT. Roosevelt is not reformer. He is a disintegrator. When MT. Roosevelt has given his close personal attention to anything it is as near being with out form as can be and still survive. Observe the Republican party just re- assembling it's arms and legs and opening one eye to note rapturously the flying atoms of the Progressive movement.-New York Herlad.
