Mean a Brighter Day for You?

What is the value of the Tractor on your particular farm? Isl
good business economy to supplant horsepower and man-power with
engine-power? What kind and size is the best for you to buy? What
is a fair price to pay for a reliable machine? What is the cost Of
operation and upkeep as compared with horses? What can the average
Tractor be used for in addition to blowing? All these questions and
many more will be answered in a practical way at the Great Southwest

MR.. HUGHES ON THE LUSI-
TANIA CASE

at would seem that the Admins
tration would be willing, in view OF
the mystery and disgust, surround
ing the acceptance" of Germany's
last Lusitania communication, which
has not yet been published, that
there would be willingness to avoid
discussion of that topic in the cam
paign. There is no possible view of
it in which the Administrators con-
duct of this feature of foreign rela-
tions can be made to look creditable.
Mr.. Hughes, talking at Youngs-
town, Ohio, last evening, made very
clear that he would have taken, in
advance of the Lusitania tragedy, a
course that unquestionably would
have prevented that horror. Mr..
Hughes is under no obligation to
say what he would have done after
the Lusitania was sent to the bot
tom, because it wouldn't have been
sent to the bottom If he had been
President. Nobody who knows his
record at Albany will seriously doubt
this. Mr.. Wilson had ample oppor-
tunity to make his position, on this
general subject, clear to Germany
before the Lusitania sailed on her
fatal voyage. Instead of measures
which could not possibly be misun-
derstood, he dallied with the whole
subject and left the German extrem-
lists determined to experiment IN or.
der to learn how far they could &c
with him.

tania tragedy, and consider what

THE RED AND UNRI0HTEOUS
"0AS" PUMP

There is an air Of Bmugness, mys-
terry, and red respectability about
the gasolene pump in front Of the
commercial garage that never has
inspired confidence in its moral char
acter. The contraption may be the
unsullied conscience Of all mechani-
cal rectitude. Perchance it is as
cold as charity, as fixed as the
Pole, as virtuous as a candidate in a
close State. But, let it be said
frankly, the blamed thing looks too
correct. When walters who appear
at lunch time in evening clothes get
superior to the tips temptations, it
will be time to accept the "gas"
pump at its own appraisement Of
its moral quality.
These reflections have been re-
pressed until this time, for reasons
which will be understood at least by
that great public which for cons ac-
cepted unquestioningly the stipula-
tions of the gas meter, lacking
temerity to asperse the processes by
which that brass-geared organ of OPP
preston skinned the confiding house.
holder and enriched-when it didn't
rob-the soulless corporation. Time
was when the gas meter got away
with It month after month simply
because it had its victims buffaloed.
Then agnostic' persons fused around
with its inwards, and pronounced it
bogus. Sometimes it meted right,
mostly it didn't, but it was observed
as a suggestive coincidence that it
erred chiefly on the side of the COM
pany.
1t passes comprehension that, with
this instance in mind, the motoring
community should so long have
yielded weakly to the presumption
that the red pump was pitilessly
honest. Now it appears, according
to the Bureau Of Standards, that
the pump is exactly as honest as the
man who turns its crank and clicks
off the amount that you pay for, I'M
less he gets tired. 1t is found from
a large number of tests that four in
five of the Mephistophelian contriv-
ances give short measure. To err is
VIGOROUSLY human; especially to err
in favor of the human who works
the machine; and 1t seems that the
red pump is just as liable to err as
the human who cranks 1t up.
The real caper, we gather from
the bureau announcement, is tc
have a proper gauge, poke it into
the tank after the pump has done it.

MAKING SECOND MORTGAGES
BETTER

The Farm Loan Board opines that
when it gets its system into opera
ton second mortgages will have bet
ter security, and therefore be more
desirable as investments; ergo, loan
ers will be more willing to take
them.
It will be interesting to see
whether things work out that way,
for many people think the exact OPP
posite will be the experience. At
present, the lender puts his money
against all the elements Of security,
and commonly loans more than the
30 per cent Of the property's value
which is the limit fixed by the new
law.
No matter how small the first
lien, any subsequent encumbrance is
a second mortgage, the prejudice
against which is pretty firmly fixed.
A loaning system that places the
first mortgage limit at 80 per cent
may make it impossible to get more
than that amount on the first mort
gage, while giving no practical help
in placing a second loan. People
who borrow in order to buy lands
very generally want to borrow more
than half the value, and succeed.
First mortgage security is widely
taken as perfectly good up to 75 per
cent of conservative appraisement.
Would first lien up to 80 per cent,
and second lien from that point to
rs per cent, be as good? The board
will need to make further explana-
ton Of its view before it will con-
vince most people used to old-fash-
toned methods Of rural finance, I'M
der which loans have run far above
80 per cent, and yet been motor
iously safe kind Of investment.

be most effectively used, for the pur-
pose of injuring the allies, in cutting
them of from communication with
America. Therefore, the question
was, first, what means the allies
could employ 10 fight of the sub
marines; and, second, what would be
the diplomatic attitude Of the United
States toward such a crusade against
it's commerce, mails, communica-
tions, and general rights on the seas.
OF these, the latter was in many
ways the more important, as Ger
many must have viewed the matter.
An attack that would actually pro-
woke America to war would have
been fatal to the central powers.
Their game was to go just as far as
they dared without giving this last
provocation. 1t must be kept in
mind, too, that in that stage Of the
war America was more feared and
respected than It is now. 1t was
rich and potentially strong. It had
no great army; but neither had Brit
ain; provocation that would set
America about the business Of rails
ing the army Of which 1t was capa-
Bile, would have been suicidal.
So it was necessary to expert
ment; to feel out the Washington
Administration. The Lusitania per-
formance was not the first feeler
put out. Earlier ones had convinced
the German government that Wash
ington would "stand for" a good
deal; IL it would permit such a per-
formance as the Lusitania sinking,
Germany would be free to use her
submarines just as she has used
them. So the counsels Of the radi.
cabs prevailed. 1t has always been
said that the Kaiser opposed the
Lusitania torpedoing; doubtless be-
cause such a ruler as he could not
conceive it possible that America
would submit to such an outrage
He was convinced, was brought tc
assent, we may well believe, only
when his radical advisers managed
out Of the record already made By
Mr.. Wilson, to convince him that the
Lusitania could be sunk without
precipitating war.
Now, there would have been M
such weak and futile record back Of
Hughes, on which to base judgment
as there was back Of Wilson, at thai
time. That is the reason why the
Lusitania would not have been sunk
and why Mr.. Hughes would nevel
have had to decide, after the sink
ing, what to do about 1t.
