the Italian representatives why their ma
ton was at war with Germany. Italy
had already agreed not to conclude a
separate peace, and as a result of the
Paris conference sanctioned the plan for
formation of permanent high council
of the entente powers for future conduct
of the war. The increasing cooperation
among the entente allies and the neces-
sity for bringing into service Italy's sur
plus of troops, which could not be EN-
ployed on the other front without bring
ing on war with Germany, gradually
brought Italy into such a position that
it became evident declaration of hos
tilities against Germany was only mat
ter of time.
The first overt act in this direction
occurred shortly after the Paris confer
ence, probably as result of it. On
February 20 Italy requistoned 81 of
the 81 German steamships interned in
Italian ports, to help meet the pressing
needs of the allies for shipping facilities.
Other indications of a approaching war
have been observed in recent weeks. Ger.
man court ruled that Italy and Germany
were actually though not formally, at
war. 1t was reported unoffieiallv that
Germany had taken charge of the defense
of Triest. A more definite indication
was the severance last month of the last
tie between the nations The CONNER
cial agreement providing for mutual re-
spect of the rights of each others sub
iects was denounced. The final step

Every possible effort to equalize the
burdens of government and improve
the conditions of our people should be
put forth. Child labor should be
banished. Universal education should
be enforced. Labor should have a
square deal. The government should
control, If not own, the means of
transportation to the end that the
consumer and the producer should be
brought closer together. Many others
might be added. The prohibitionist
will insist on ''dry' nation. Many
will demand rural credits. Universal
suffrage will be demanded by others.
Government ownership of public util

But does it follow that because of
these various opinions and varing
ideas that any individual or class
should be permitted, under any guise,
to insult the Flag, to preach anarchy
and treason, ard to strike at the heart

love this country tolerate this sort of

PATRIOTISM VS. TREASON.

1t is not proper that decent, loyal
citizens of this nation should tolerate
anarchistic utterances from wouldbe
reformers, regardless of sex, color or
previous condition of servitude.
When any man curses the Stars and

est reform, if, in spirit of love for
this country, prompted by desire to
better existing conditions, anyone,
individual or society, can suggest
improvements, it is right and proper
to do so, and such effort should be en-
couraged. 1t would be fool. indeed,

BEAUTlFYING DIXIE HIGHWAY.
Southern Women Plan Conservation of
Natural Growth.

Southern Women Plan Conservation of
Natural Growth.
With the Dixie highway, running
from Chicago to Miami. ready to be
dedicated and opened for practical pur-
poses on next Thanksgiving day, the
clubwomen of the states from the gulf
to the great lakes are organizing for
the purpose of permanently beautify-
ing this transnational highway so that
it's scenic beauty from one end to the
other will be delight to the tourists.
The initial organization of the club
women was perfected at Guyton, Ca,
where about fifty women banded them
selves together for the purpose of as
sisting in the Dixie highway move
ment in bingham county, Ga. The
movement is spreading. and it is
sought to include the clubwomen along
the entire route. The plan of the wo-
men includes the cooperation also of
the boy scouts, the school children and
the schoolteachers.
The first work which the women plan
is the conservation and the preserva-
ton of the natural growths. trees.
shrubs. flowers and grasses along the
route. The Importance of this work.
the women say. cannot be overestimat-
ed. and they are seeking immediate ac-

self is the plan and calls for the util-
iZation of every natural advantage on
the way from Chiago to Miami.
One effective plan being carried out
by woman's club is to secure the ac-
tive cooperation of the various COM
panies OF boy scouts. giving each com
pany section of the highway to beau
tify by carrying away rubbish, cutting
down weeds and planting trees. Each

Drug Prices Up Result of War.

War is certainly living up to the
reputation given it by General Sher-
man.
That is what the druggist thinks
when he goes to buy his supplies
from the wholesaler.
Since the European war began
ordinary drugs have gone up in price
from so to 5000 per cent, depending
on the article.
+ Want little castor oil for the
baby Sure. Well, since the war has
started the price has increased some
thing like $50 per cent.
How about carbolic acid? The
increase is only 1900 per cent.
Suppose you buy little boric acid.
You pay just 100 per cent more for it
now than you did in 1914.
Strychnine is only little more
than twice as expensive now.
Benzoate of soda costs about seven
times as much as in 1914, while
practically all of the potassium COM
pounds are establishing a new alti-
tude record that an aviation might
envy.
Glycerine has trebled in price.
Epson salts are more than double and
choroform has nearly quadrupled in
price.
Acetanilid IN 1914 cost around 20
cents pound. Now it is we'll above
50.
Bromide of soda has jumped from
80 cents pound to S7.l5.
Quinine sulphate is about nine
times as high now as it was.
Evidently witch hazel neither
comes from abroad or is used in max
ing war munitions, for it is only a
few cents a gallon than formerly.
But through long list of drugs a
big increase in price is seen, and, ac-
cording to druggists, indications are
that the top has not been reached yet.
