WASHINGTON TO REMAIN DRY
Aberdeen, Wash, World

The majority is glad the saloons no longer exist Men who were accustomed to drink for the sake of sociabiiity are glad that the saloon is gone. Thousands of men voted for the dry law because they wanted to remove temptation from themselves Very weak? Perhaps, but they are better of under present conditions, and they will not permit a return.
 The governor urges that the law be tight ened if anything. When changes are made that is probably the direction which they will take Those who talk of 'absolute pro hibition or no prohibition" usually want no prohibition, and that Is all that phrase amounts to. Those who point out as an indictment of the dry law that the con sumption of whisky throughout the United States has increased enormously since July l last, with six states going dry in the in terval, forget to say whether or not more persons are drinking liquor now than for merly That, after all, is the important point.
 1t need not be expected that any dry law can cure the confirmed thinker. It need net be expected that any law making illegal in night what has always been legal can change habits in the same time. It need not be expected that any fiat of any kin;! can work 9 reformation. But the dry law will bring change in time, il will work is reformation The next generation shoul! benefit by it.

SHOES GOING UP.
Hide Shortage, Army Shoes and Autos
Cause Advance.

A side-effect of the far-aWay war
that interests every man, woman and
child is the announcement of the fact
that shoes must this season advance in
price.
The generally reported scarcity of
leather and increased cost OF tanning
since the war; combined with an
enormously increased demand for
leather, all account for the advanced
cost of footwear.
Millions of pairs of shoes for the
European armies have been and still
are being made by American shoe
manufacturers. On the average, these
army shoes consume one and one
half as much leather as the average
American mans shoe.
| Knapsacks, saddles, harnesses and
other material for the armies at war
and general increase in equipment Of
the American army and state militia
account for still further demand on
the none too large supply of leather
Munitions plants have called for
| thousands of feet of leather betting
and the general picking up OF business
has started thousands of factories
wheels and greatly augmented the call
! for betting.
| Autos have also made great and in
creasing inroads into the available
leather supply for upholstering
Leather is byproduct. The supply
cannot be increased at will as crops
and metals are, but is dependent on
the hide supply; and cattle are not
killed primarily for their hides.
The latest census reports show that
the cattle population has decreased 20
per cent in the last 10 years, and the
population has increased the same per-
centage.
Shoes, therefore, are to be more ex-
pensive. 1t is said that the increase
for the present will be about 20 per
cent, but will likely be more, by next
fall

Cause of War.
81 purpose in my campaign to show
what brought about this European war
and to demonstrate that the same
forces are now at work here and will
inevitably plunge this country into
war. 1 do not mean war this year, or
in 10 years or in 20. think Europe
is sick. of fighting, and no nation OF
combination of nations has the stom-
ach to attack us. But if our owning
classes keep reaching out, like those
others did, we will eventually be at
war with some one.
"Then | purpose to argue that If the
people owned the nations industries
(Which is the Socialist PLATFORM, and
if those industries were operated for
use-not for prOfit-there would be
! no wars. Peoples themselves would
never go to war unless urged by mon
archial or industrial rulers. There
would be nothing under Socialist rule
but kindness and a spirit of help
the other fellow"
"All natural resources, all indus
| tries, would be in the hands of the
j government. The government Woulc
he in the hands of the people-which
it certainly is not now-and the people
therefore would truly and actually
govern themselves and their work and
their production"

the United States from September
on, going from coast :. coaS. The
candidate for vice president, George r
Kirkpatrick, Of Newark, will tour TIT
Southern states al the same time.

other countries. That owning class
which hasn't the trade is bent upon
getting it, no matter how. And there
is the cause of the war.
"The soldiers in this war, | think,
are realizing more and more that they
are not fighting for themselves or
their country, but for their industrial
masters. More soldiers are reading
and learning the truth in this war
than ever before. They are learning
that fighting is business no man
should take part in except for SELL
defense.
MY campaign will be an effort to
save the United States from the fate
of Europe. For 40 years European
Socialists have been warning the old
countries that this war of owning
classes would take place. But their
warnings went UNDECIDED. Now we
propose to warn the United States.

Don't PlOw Wet,

One of the most costly mistakes
made by Arkansas farmers is to
pillow corn and cotton land When it is
wet. Of course, with frequent rains
the colds will crumble, but it costs
too much in labor to keep such
ground in workable condition. Better
wait a few days, and when the upper
surface gets dry work it with the
disk harrow and then after THREE or
four days start the pillow. Borrow a
disk or rent one and try this plan
and see if your ground will not work
better all through the summer.
Profit in Good Tools.
If the farmers of Arkansas are to
do better farming they must get bet
ter farm implements and bigger mules
or horses. A good pillow or harrow is
a good investment. A disc harrow is
one of the best farm tools ever in
vented. A double-row cultivator for
two mules ought to be used on every
farm. Why not cooperate more Let
two farmers buy cultivator together
Buy disc harrow together and work
four NUDES instead of two. More team
work will mean less hand work. More
more prosperity for the farmers, too
SilOs and Silage.
A silo is good insurance, but even a
small one is not good investment
with fewer than five Or six head of
cattle. A small home made silo can
be built for from $50 to $50 l5ulle-
tins and plans for these cheap slos

GERMAN DEBATE
FATE CONQUERED
RUSSIAN POLAND
None of the Three Plans
Considered Gives Poland
Autonomy.
(By International News Service Cor

(By International News Service Cor

Berlin. March 23.-The fate Of con-
uuered Russian Poland is still hang
ing in the balance. Three different
schemes are being discussed hey by
the men who hold the fate of nearly
one hundred millions of people in the
hollow of their hands.
The first scheme, whose origlnators
are the kaiser, Chancellor Won Beth
man-Hollwe, and Herr Delbrueck, pro-
vides for the incorporation into Prus-
STA of the Polish governments OF
Lomza, Suvalki and Courland. The
governments of Wilma, Kovno, Minsk,
and Grodno are to constitute the new
Kingdom Of Poland, preferably with
one Of the kaiser's younger sons as
king. and the kingdom must enter into
military custom convention with
Germany.
The third plan, which emanates
from Austria, provides for an au'
tonomous Kingdom of Poland under
the suberanty of Austria. At present
this plan is said to be the most fav-
ored one, because it is considered most
| likely to be accepted by the civil pop
ulation of Poland, and because it will
permit of an immediate mobilization
of all men of military age still re-
| naming in the unhappy country.
| In the meantime all reports from
Poland agree that conditions there are
going from bad to worse The cOun-
| try was devastated beyond description
+! by the armies of both sides, and the
Russians, when retreating, carried
! everything away with them, leaving
practically not scrap of metal. Even
the rails were removed from the road
beds of the railroads in many places
and thrown into the rivers an(
swamps or taken away.
The sufferings Of the population, il
is said by the German press, sur
passes all imagination. Industry
commerce and farming alike are
stagnant, and even the formerly
wealthy classes are on the verge O.
starvation. Germany, is, of course
utterly unable to render any assist
