We're quite liberal. Local trade good
for the MEDIUM and low GRADES. Bet
ter grades somewhat neglected. Fe5d
ers seem to be taking the cheaper
grades more freely than ever before.
We attribute this largely to the high
prices being paid for grain. The
feeder finds il necessary to cut his
feed bill in some way and is endeav-
oring u do ii by using the lower
priced hay. This is the case to some
extent among country buyers. es

actly the same as that of Great
Britain?
What reason can there be for con-
fdence that the United States will net
become involved in this war? Ebents
beyond their control determine the
fate of nations as of individuals. There
is at least possibility of our being
drawn into it, and so long as that ex-
lists preparedness is the supreme duty
of the nation.
Realization of this possibility has
prompted the president to take coun-
sci with the heads of the military
branches of the government and the
chairmen of responsible committees OF
congress. That he will have tha
hearty support of these men in the
matter of legislation and appropria-
tions goes without the saying. But in
a republic ultimate responsibility, as
well as power, rests with the people
The problem of preparedness is, at
bottom, theirs.
This means that it is the problem
of every individual American. Not all
can go into training camps, but each
in his own way can do his part.
Upon one thing all can and should
now unite. This is to crush out for all
time in this land the noxious doctrine
that national honor is a thing to be
bartered away from fear, that the
American spirit is one of cowardice
which would place comfort above
righteousness-that the American flag
is milk white rag"
