Two and One. Halt Cent Piece.

The director Of the mint comes forward with
belated suggestion that our present simple sys-
TEN Of coinage be enriched by the addition of
two and one-half cent piece. Such a coin will
undoubtedly facilitate making change in some in
stances, but it also very likely will result in re-
vision Of the scale OF charges now made At any
rate, it comes tardily for the relief Of the great
west, where long ago the people solved the prob
lem by the adoption Of the long" and short bit"
system. An institution Of the people. founded on
the principle of give and take, this method of
making change served well until the influx from
the effete east, accompanied by custom which
brought the short" bit into dsrepute by the
seller always insisting on having the long" and
thus discouraging the buyer. The "pieayune,"
too, disappeared under wave Of progress, and
the "bit" will 60 the same way. At any rate, the
American people are not yet open to the charge
made by the witty lawyer, who answered Andrew
Carnegie's query as to why Great Britain persists
in the absurd practice Of coming the farthing by
saying that its purpose was to facilitate contrbu-
tons to charity. 81

Germany's War Preparations.

1t had been thought Germanys preparation
for war was so complete that nothing could be
added News from Berlin indicates the kaser's
councillors have discovered how to improve the
condition OF the empire as fighting machine, and
are taking steps to carry out the plans. Chancel-
lor Won Bethman-H ollweg has just introduced
into the Rcchstag measure that in effect puts
the entire civil and industrial organization of the
empire on a military basis. All civilians are to
come under compulsory service orders, and thus
the defense Of the nation will be strengthened
by the addition Of many who have so far been
engaged in purely private pursuits More strin-
gent regulations for the daily life Of the citizens
are announced, looking to the closer conservation
Of supplies. Hands that are idle assist the
enemy" says the chancellor, summing up the pur-
pose Of his new bill. The willingness of Ger
many to accept peace is once more given promi-
hence in the speech to the Reichstag, "a peace
guaranteeing our existence and our future" These
preparations and the confidence Of the chancellor
afford certain proof that the war is hardly likely
to be brought to an immediate end

Shifting Balance in Fur Trade.

A report from the Department of Commerce
on the fur trade Of the United States affords
interesting light on trade, the current Of which
has been strangely affected by the war Importa-
ton Of undressed furs had reached the highest
mark previous to the war in 1912 when skins to
the value Of more than seventeen millions of dol
lars and finished garments valued at eight and
one-half millions were purchased abroad. In 1915
these figures had fallen to $7,76S,34S and $685.
l4O, less than two-hfths of the total three years
earlier. The present year, however, has seen the
total mount to $16S9l 500 for undressed and
$3,208,l83 for the made-up furs, or double the
total of the year previous. This return to nor
NAL proportions in the total of importatons is
accompanied by remarkable shifting in sources
of supplies. ..u
In 1912 Belgium sent in more than million
dollars worth Of undressed furs; in 1916 this had
fallen to less than $4,000. Germany had dropped
from nearly seven millions to less than half
million. Frances contribution had risen from less
than million to almost million and half and
Greece had jumped its expectations Of undressed
furs to the United States almost one thousand
times, from SAL to $397S4. The share of the
United Kingdom had nearly doubled. from
$3,606,5E to $6,l97,5l7, while Canada had risen
from $2267,sO7 to $4,lS3962. Similar shifts are
noted from South American countries and else
where. The condition shows how one of the
trade currents has been affected by the war.
1t is Of Importance that this traffic be safe
guarded against whatever conditions may come
with the establishment OF peace abroad The
European countries may be looked to to regain
if possible their dominance over the fur trade
and American manufacturers must be protected
or see the business go abroad again

Commodity Pirates at Work

In many cases the war is not the reason for
rising food prices Ii is only an excuse. Rapa-
cious food spectators are to large degree re-
sponsible for the outrageous charges, and they
simply mention the war to conceal their own
motives. New Jersey farmers put much Of the
blame for high prices upon the middleman, and
they are organizing to eliminate that individual
as far as possible. In New York they have in
dicted food spectators for gouging the public
In Philadelphia there are many authentic in
stances Of where an increase OF only per cent
in the wholesale price of food product was in
stantly followed by IS per cent increase in the
retail price. 1t seems to be game of everybody
charge all he can get with the result that con
sumers are being bled at every vein.
The American public is docile population
1t tolerates from 10000 little and big dealers ex-
ira taxes on commodities that no foreign coun-
try in time Of peace would endure. Unfortu-
nately for our people, the incomes Of very large
portion have not increased since the war began
50 that they are being actually impoverished by
the rapacity Of spectators in all fields Of indus
try. II is about time that the buyers themselves
band together and refuse to submit further to
wholly unnecessary advances in commodity
prices

Constructive Program for Omaha.

Wonders have been accomplished during the
last few years toward the making of the new and
Greater Omaha. In the development of metro
politan city each successive era presents its own
problems which must be taken up and solved as
they arise, but every live city should have con-
structive program. Omaha right now should
seek to attain several goals, not all of them, per-
haps, OF the same urgency or within the same
reach, but nevertheless Of sufficient importance to
be persisted in until secured:
/. Omaha is ripe for new Union passenger
depot. Present accommodations, suitable as they
may have once been are entirely outgrown and
the railroads converging here it to US to pro-
vide modern passenger terminal.
g.. A pipeline from the Wyoming oil fields is
Our most promising industrial acquisition. Direct
piped crude oil with refneries here would add i'm
mensely to our commercial power, relieve the fuel
pressure and start many new enterprises.
3. Omaha's grain business of storage and ele-
walton should be supplemented with cereal. -four
and feed mills, starch works and allied branches,
to convert the raw material into manufactured
product.
4. Along the same line, the by-products Of our
mcat-packing establishments should be utilized
for manufacturing purposes. We should have tan
neries, more boot and shoe factories trunk fac
tories, leather goods and harness works, and fac
tories making use of the horns and bones of the
slaughtered animals.
S. The good roads question must be taken
up and solved in practical manner and the road
ways in and out OF Omaha permanently improved
to meet new requirements OF automobile traffic
and transportation.
g. Omaha's claims for recognition in federal
activities must be more aggressively asserted. We
are in fair way to land one Of the new land
banks and should keep pulling for the federal
reserve bank that Kansas City got away from us.
Divisional activities of the army, postofice, COM
merce and labor departments of the federal gov
eminent belong here, too, and can be had with
the proper effort.
While other steps in growth and expansion
are doubtless also timely, here is a constructive
program for Omaha that can well absorb
energies for the immediate future.

Uncle Sama's Farmers

According to the last census about one-third
OF our citizens in gainful pursuits are engaged
in agriculture. On what they are to accomplish
in the coming year depends, in large degree
the comfort and prosperity of their fellow Ameri-
cans. Before the winter is over the high prices
OF food will bear hard upon many families whose
incomes are not elastic and who must face the
food problem as matter of present concern.
Opinions differ as to how large a proportion of
high prices goes to farmers. 1t is doubtless true
that it is not equitably what it should be- But it
is also true that in many cases the prices are
too high, regardless of the distribution of the
cations OF the subject by congress are timely
Prices of articles consumed by farmers have
also been marked up Farmers have an equal in
terest in fair prices and will intelligenty take this
view of it. The increases are often more than
due percentage. Public vigilance is demanded at
such time, along with an observance of all the
rules of wholesome general economy.
The farming domain of Uncle Sam is amply
big and varied Tillers of the soil in the Gulf
states will soon begin to plant crops for 1917.
A few months will see all the millions of our
farmers actively at work. They decide on what
to grow and how much land to use productivity.
As far as possible they should put every acre to
work and follow it up with the best cultivation
Their reward is likely to be greater than usual
They would like to see groceries, clothing and
many other requisites marked down instead of
up in frequent nstallments We are all moving
along together, and plenty OF food at fair prices
will help us to do it successfully for all concerned
Let speed the pillow, or the tractor, be leading
motto of the hour
The farmer feedeth all, and his fellow-country-
men hope that his thinking cap is on wisely for
the coming season.

mo floors," indeed! What did they
enlist for? To be ninnies-mere dress
parade soldiers? No money whatever
should be spent for such purposes;
and l trust the incoming legislature
will be just as economical as the house

wants to be a soldier, let him be a
soldier. l once served four years in
actual war; never once had tent with

had only a dog tent" that l carried

A complaint is made of inadequate
armories for the National Guard. But
no armories at all are needed, and
the legislature should make no APP
preparation whatever to provide them.
Each enlisted man should take his

into his soldiers clothes, go to the

Good, stiff drilling would keep him

hurt him any; better that than that
the legislature should soak all the tax
payers of the state to provide some
bandbox soldiers to be admired by the
ladies.
In speaking of the support of the
guard, your correspondent says that
'if the requirements of the War de-
partment are met, the money appro-
priated under the reserve act will be
given to the state, but if not the state
will get nothing" But to my mind
that is a good and sufficient reason
