DON'T find fault because the farmer
is buying autos and living in princely
fashion on the profits of his farm, for
he deserves some of the comforts of
life, having for years been forced to
feed on it's bitterness. The time was
when 100 acres of the best land hardly
produced enough profits to warrant the
farmer having an extra pair of over
ais That time is not so far in the
rear that only octogenarians can see the
tail end of it jumping out of memory
into forgetfulness. Back in '78 and
10 farm products were so cheap that
the ordinary thieves refused to steal
them unless the farmer would promise
to deliver the goods. If in these days
the farmer is waxing fat on profits
just remember that he is being partly
repaid for the many, many lean years
when his ledger showed cash all paid in
and all paid out, and no stock on hand.

Carpets of The Ancients.

References to carpets are found
among the earliest Egyptian and As

pie, floor and seat coverings were used
in temples for religious ceremonies,

the interiors of the royal palaces.

TEARING up old railroads in the u.

TEARING up old railroads in the u S.
and Canada and relaying them in
France is one of the industries that has
grown out of the war. A dealer
in waste material who bought two dis
used Iowa short lines as junk has dis
posed of them for this purpose at a
round profit. and Canadians are sacri-
ficing sidings in the interest of the
cause. 1t is said the shipments of rails
and other material from Canada to be
Immediately used in France are suffi-
Gent for the construction of a thous-
and miles of railway. This will give
the French needed mileage for the
quick transfer of bodies of troops from
one point to another. The possession
of superior facilities of this character
in Germany has been an important fac
tor so far during the war.

Why Not Be Sensible?

To the ennuied Of earth who are
looking for new and lasting sensa-
ton We would offer the query, Why
not be sensible?
If you have never tried looking at
things in sensible way you cannot
imagine what supreme delights there
are in an excursion into this little fire.
quented domain of human activity.
There are drawbacks, to be sure. But
the drawbacks are greatly outweighed
by the advantages. We have known
people who, after leading unsensible
lives from early childhood, have taken
up the sensible life and have never led
any other life from that time on. That,
however, is going to extremes and is
therefore to be carefully Stunned, but
it only goes to show how being sensi-

Cheese Now Has the Call.

The prices of cheese of various kinds
are higher than for any other dairy
product American cheese is selling
for Is cents a pound, Swiss "a cents,
Limburger 25 cents and Brick 25 cents.
Average testing milk produces about
10 pounds of cheese per 100 pounds. In
round numbers in costs about 2.5 cents
to manufacture and put a pound of
cheese upon the market or about %
cents per hundred pounds of milk This
means that farmers selling their milk
to cheese factory are receiving from
1928 to $500 per hundred pounds of
average testing milk or SO to 70 cents
a pound for fat These are good prices,
and good cows we'll fed will return a
profit on feed at the present high
prices.
The foreign demand for cheese for
the armies has been so great that the
prices of cheese have risen rapidly the
past few months. Cheese is recognized
by the commissary departments of the
armies as being one of the very best of
protein foods. 1t is more nourishing
than meat, more easily handled, and
keeps indefinitely. Cheese may be
eaten in month after it is made and
it will be good after it is two or three
years old, if rightly made and cared
for. Cheese is better food at year
old than a month old.-Hoard's Dairy
man.

THIRTY-FoUR farmers, thirty-two in
the assembly and two in the senate,
are to hold seats in the next Wisconsin
legislature, according to the record
made up for the Legislative manual in
the office of Secretary of State John S.
Donald. In the assembly the agricul-
turists hold within less than two votes
one-third of the total membership, an
advantage never before attained by
them in the councils of the Badger law
makers. Next in point of numbers
among the solons are the tradesmen,
thirteen of the lower house being as
signed to that class Mechanics are
third in the record. given ten in the
lower house Thus the farmers, trades
men and mechanics, with total of SIS,
may control the lower house if they
could combine to that end.

THE war must go on; there seems no
other way. With one voice England,
France and Russia have answered the
German peace proposal with renewed
determination to fight until their objects
are achieved unless Germany guaran-
tees reparatiOn to the allies, which OBJ
viously, Germany, holding the upper
hand, may be expected to refuse. The
speeches of Lloyd George and Premier
BRAND and the action of the Russian
duma have little room for doubt; the
fight must go to finish. The blood of
millions pleads that the struggle cease;
the wars end is infinitely to be desired.
The nation that scorns peace, scorns
righteousness, scorns God but unless
peace is to last, it is better to continue
the war. Inconclusive peace is delu-
sion and snare: it would merely prove
an armistice while the nations prepare
for another grapple. Indefinite peace
now would be greater crime against
civilization than the war itself. If the.
world cannot have an honest abiding
settlement, let the war go on; let the
millions suffer today that many more
millions may not suffer the same awful
blight tomorrow. Milwaukee News.

THE food supply of the nation is dis
cussed by the secretary of agriculture
in his annual report for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1916. The secretary
states that it is notable that. with the
exception of meat and dairy products,
the per capita production of the lead
ing food commodities, notwithstanding
the increase in population, has remain
ed approximately the same or has in
creased. 1t is gratifying to note, he
adds. that the alarming decline in beef
production reached it's lowest point in
1913, and that since that time there has
been a material increase. while there
has been a marked advance in the
number of swine since the census year
1899. The number of sheep has con-
tinued to decline, but only to slight
extent. The number of animals that
were slaughtered and the quantity of
meat products prepared under govern
ment inspection during the past fiscal
year are the largest in the history of
the service. This heavier slaughtering
has been accompanied by an increase in
the remaining stock of animals. He
points out that with all the agencies
now available for improving agricul-
ture there is ground for optimism as to
the ability of the nation not only to
supply itself with food but increasing
ly to meet the needs of the world.

INCINERATOR FOR
MOLINE PROMISED
Plant VIII Be Installed Next Summer
According to Statement by
Commissioner of Health.

Moline is to have a garbage incln-
orator this summer.
That an incinerator be provided is
declared to be absolutely essential to
the welfare of the city by Commission
er A. c. Stouffer of the department
of health and safety, and Mayor Carl
son and other members of the city
council are understood to fully agree
with him.
The money that will be required to
establish an incinerator in Moline will
not have TO come from the general tax
fund, but will be a special appropria-
ton, possible to cities having less than
100000 population.
Under the provision of the statute, a
lew of 2 mills can be made for the
nurpose of caring for garbage in this
manner. II can be done by vote Of the
citv council. however, and does not
have TO be balloted on by the elec-
torate.
While bids will be called for and a
complete investigation made Of the Ell
fciency Of various types OF incinera-
tors. it is highly probable that Mo-
line will have the same sort of plant
as that in Rock Island-made by the
De Carrie company.
When the plant is installed next
summer it will in all probability be
built adjacent to the water pumping
station at the foot of Seventeenth
street This is the most central loca-
tion available and is convenient in all
respects.
The special appropriation which II
is possible will provide approximate
" $4,000. This will be sufficient for
Installing a plant that will meet Mo
/ lines needs for 10 years 20 come
/ Should IL then become insufficient, a
second plant can be placed in another
part of the city
