must carry the subject further into the
matter Of the prices we get and the prices
we must pay for finished products We shall
eonfne consideration, too, to those products
which have their origin the farm either in
the raw state or finished and manufactured
into edible wearable articles.
Let take wheat, for example We all
know that the war has put the price of wheat
way up. Very well-this means that the
whole country: city, town and rural population
as well are paying more for their four-there-
fore the wheat raiser should theoretically be
getting rich on a product which it costs him
no more TO raise than formerly apd for which
he gets more money.
But wait a minute-there are other things
to consider in this matter of growing rich or
OF the war. Cotton and wool and meats and
farm machinery and sugar have gone up too.
This means that while the wheat raiser is
getting more for his product, he is also paying
some other agriculturist more for his product.
This cuts down somewhat ON the profits the
war is bringing to the farmer Then it would
seem that the best way to keep ahead Of the
game is for the farmer to pay the farmer who
raises his necessities the increased prices that
the war has brought about and when buying

DEMOCRATIC ARMY BILL

Assistant Secretary of War
Discusses Meaure at Speech
in Naples, Maine

NAPLES, Maine, Aug. 29.-William NJ.
Ingraham, assistant secretary OF war,
i'm a speech here last night, declared the
Wilson administration has given the
country the best army bill that has ever
been passed. He said the measure re-
Gently passed by congress and signed by
the president was the beginning of legis-
lation of a character that means in a
comparatively short time the United
States will have an army adequate for
defense in any emergency.
Mr.. Ingraham, who is a native of
Maine, returned to make a series of
speeches in behalf of the Democratic
state ticket.
ut is a struggle" he said in part,
between a party that has been tried
and found not wanting and a party that
seeks to gain the power by means of
general criticism and cannot offer any
constructive plan of legislation to sup
plant that which it seeks to destroy"
After indOrsing state and local Demo
cratic nominations, Mr. Ingraham dis
cussed the subject of preparedness. He
said:
This administration wants to do the
right thing in protecting it's citizens and
its honor, but ii is not going to get it.
self involved prematurely. If we were
now at war with Mexico l tell you what
you would be hearing. Charles E.
Hughes would be going around the
country telling the people that there
was no need of any war; that the whole
country of Mexico was not worth it, that
the lives and treasure being spent was
the result of too hasty action and entire
~ needless; that if we had given the
Mexicans time, they would have settled
their own troubles; that we had no just
cause for a conflict; that no great prin-
ciples were involved, and so forth"

Dear Mrs. Thomas:

Having had practically no experience
until three years ago. when we moved
to the farm, you can readily see how
much real help your talks on chickens
have been to me. l had always be-

thought to be the best hens and one
rooster. and / began studying these, so
that l might manage them intelligently.
Now my flock of forty hens and pulleIs
while far from being what I want and
expect to have, are more than paying

PATRIOTISM.
BY sir walter Scott. (l77l-1ss2.)

Breathes there a man with soul so dead,
Who never to himself both said,
This is my own, my native land!
Whose heart hath ne'er within him
burned,
AS home his footsteps he hath turned
From wandering on a foreign strand?
If such there breathe, CO. mark him
we'll;
For him no minstrel raptures swell.
High though his titles, proud his name
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim;
Despite those titles, power and pelf,
The wretch, concentred all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored, and unsung.

THE wHIRLIa1G IN EUROPE.

In 1904 Russia and Japan were IN
deadly combat. 1t was a ferocious war
1t demonstrated the ability of the Jars
to hold a hand along with Russia. They
would have doubtless been warning still
but for physical exhaustion. Their head
men came across the Atlantic ocean and
held conference at Portsmouth in
New Hampshire and settled the dispute
This history will go down as a most
remarkable exhibit of what intelligent
media ton can accomplish when dis
putants are ready to settle. Doubtless
the same plan or one that will be sim
liar will close up the bloody struggle
between the combatants in Europe, time
enough being given.
But the singular part of the agree
ment between Russia and Japan has just
come to light. Russia is engaged II
another deadly struggle with Germany
Austria and Turkey at this time ant
Japan is manufacturing Russias MUM
tlons of war.
Russia needs everything in this strug
gle, because the struggle is so momeu
tous. Japan makes the goods, which
they also fashion into Russian uniforms
You might say they are doing everythiri
for Russia that Russia could ever eN
pect or hope for-that a friendly nation
could offer or is prepared to furnish.
The list of Japanese furnishings Is
too long to reprint at this time but Il
covers we'll nigh everything that ma
ton in deadly warfare needs, except
the food rations, and the heavy trans
porting machines. 1t has been less THAI
twelve years since Japan and Russia
were cutting each others threats and
now Japan is helping Russia to the ex
tent of it's resources. England Is ia
