On the whole the British reply to
the German peace note was about as
cordial as we expected 1t to be. The
tone OF Chancellor Won Holweg's
note and his speech was not such as
to encourage the notion that the allies
would show any disposition to come up
and eat out OF his hand II the allies
have lost any OF their zest in the pros
ecution of the terrible struggle, the
pugnacious spirit manifested by Pre-.
mier LloydGeorge gives no token Of
it.
Reparation and the strongest posi-.
bic guarantees against any future ag
Rressions Of "Prussian militarismn are
demanded by the British premier as
condition for the opening Of any
peace discussions and It is to be pre-
sumed that the formal note which will
be sent to the central powers will fol-
low the same general lines. As far
LloydGeorge speech is equally as
vague as the proposal Of the German
chancellor who was content TO give
the assurance that the Teutonic settle
ment would be appropriate to the
permanent peace of Eprope"
Probably it was not to be expected
that the first exchange Of oommunica-
tiona between the contending powers
would bring forth anything of sub
stantial nature in the way of progress
toward ending the war The substance
Of the statements put out by both
sides may be as much as might be ex-
pected at this stage but the spirit man
ifested is not such as to furnish hope
that the belligefents are any nearer
together In their views of the funda
mental issues involved than they were
two years ago.

morally certain that serious accidents
to trains have been caused by mali,
cious acts Of trespassers. While iS
states have legislated upon the sub

difficult to secure the enforcement of

the carrier by appropriate sign or
warning gives notice that trespassing
on its tracks is prohibited Any such
statute should, however provide that
nothing therein is intended to make

unlawful under state laws 1t might
be that congress could confer concur

courts for the enforcement OF any
statute which might be enacted upon
this subject"

WE PRODUCE SIX TIMES AS MUCH
AS OUR GRANDFATHERs DID

In the December Farm and Fireside
there is an editorial in which the writ
er Of it says;
Some figures recently worked out
dealing with the economies of crop
production show that our grandfathers
had TO work full nine-hour day to
produce two bushels OF corn In many
cases it required another full day To
carry two-bushel bag Of that corn on
horseback to distant min TO be
ground into meal from which We're
made corn meal, johnny.eake hoecake
Or corn pone according to the locality
"Today the grandson by the aid Of
improved horsepower or motor driven
machinery can produce two bushels of
corn in an hour and a half in SO far
as the labor element is concerned
Put in another way, the grandson, BY
mans of mechanical and cultural helps.
can accomplish six times as much in
given period as did his grandfather
sixty years ago in the work of feeding
the world
Calculating the results of increased
efficiency ON this basis, should the
corn-growing grandson receive six
times as much for a years planting,
management, and labor as did his
erandsire? Ii so. does he get it2 Is
his land investment farm equipment,
and labor bill six times greater, and
do his living expenses, taxes, insur-
ance, and upkeep Of his farm plant call
for correspondingly greater outlay
Unless the grandson's receipts have
kept pace with the increase of farm
EFFICIENCY Of his generation, thus en-
abling him TO secure and equip a farm
for himself pay expenses and have a
reasonable surplus Of profit, some
thing is stil out Of joint in the farm
ing business Furthermore. even
though the grandson may have be.
come six times more efficient than his
grandfather in the production Of food
supplies, unless he has advanced to
where he can take his rightful place
in the worlds civic and social duties
and enjoy an equitable share Of its
recreations, the grandson has still the
most important Of his accomplishments
before him-getting these things
