General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: Trade reports
vary little in tenor from those of pre-
ceding weeks, the story they tell be-
ing one Of sustained activity, with pro-
duction much below unstinted demand.
Buying in most parts of the coun-
try proceeds on an extensive scale;
car shortage and embargoes have be-
come more Serious vessels to take
out exports are lacking; the scarcity
of dyestuffs is acute; labor is in scant
supply; jobs are more numerous than
seekers, wages keep on rising, and
large employers find 1t more profita-
BILE to placate their employees than to
resist their demands.
Better employment at relatively
high wages has brought on increased
demands for staple articles and en-
larged savings accounts. In fact,
banks practically everywhere are sur
feited with money; there is more do

RECENT DAIRY SHOW
BROUGHT OUT REAL FACTS
August Wolf Analyses the Results in
Few Words-All Problems Lead
to the Farm.

One of the cardinal truths empha-
sized at the first Northwest Dairy
Show and convention in Spokane re-
Gently is that the worlds greatest eco
nomic problem leads to the farm, says
August Wolf in the March issue of
Western Union Life Monthly. Grains
and grasses, beef, pork, mutton and
poultry and fruits and vegetables are
the soil builders, the home builders,
the town and city builders. More food
stuffs mean factories, more hay means
livestock, which, in turn calls for pack
ing plants; fruits and vegetables de-
mand storage houses and canneries
and creameries follow the milch COW.
Great areas of land throughout the
Northwest, which once went begging
for buyers at from so cents to $1.25 an
acre, are now bearing enough food
stuffs to raise their value hundred
fold. The land was always worth a
hundred times more than it's selling
price, but not to the man who did not
or would not improve it. Today there

who wasted a dozen acres upon one
steer, must hand that land over to the
modern dairyman, who builds silo
with his barn and makes the land sup
port as many persons.
Since service to others is the first
principle of good citizenship, we are
calling upon our representatives in
Washington, Montana, Idaho, Oregon,
Utah and Wyoming and the people
generally to continue with vigor and
enthusiasm the good work Of encour-
aging mixed farming in their respect
i've communities and districts, for, as
one of the worlds foremost agricul-
tural authorities says:
Mixed farming in this wonderland
of golden opportunities will mean an
increase in rural population, smaller
farms, better soil, larger acre yields,
better homes and more contented peo-
pie and will bring about general inn
provement in agricultural, industrial
and commercial conditions"

IN SUING FOR PEACE WILL
COST THEM DEARLY
MAKE TERMS VERY SEVERE
semi-officiaI Paper Declares State.
rent of December Must Be Full
fiIled-Leaders Are United and
Will Wage War to Victory

Berlin.-Germany's enemies, by not
taking advantage of the announcement
of Chancellor Won Bethman- Hollweg
on December 9, that Germany would
consider peace proposals whenever her
foes were willing to ask terms, have
lost the day Of grace.
This is the conclusion to be drawn
from leading article in the semi-of-
fetal Lokal Anzeiger, in which it is de-
clared flatly the time has now come to
carry out the chancellor's warning of
December that if the enemies of this
country did not ask for peace in a rea-
sonable period they would have to pay
more dearly for it. The Lokal An
zeiger says:
Change of Attitude
According to everything one hears,
one must be convinced that our re-
sponsible statesmen, in complete
agreement with the military leaders,
now occupy different attitude toward
the general situation than they occu-
pied when the chancellor expressed
tiations under certain conditions.
Every one has to conclude that the
leading men in the enemy camp lack
all vision Of the attainable, all under
standing of the hard, immutable facts
which already had developed, and have
since that time only accumulated in
greater extent.
Without threatening gesture, but
with unshakeable certainty the chan
cellor announced at that time that any
continuation of the war must make
sharper the conditions under which
we should be forced to indemnify our
selves for the sacrifices wrung from
the German people. 1t can not be
doubted that every means of power
which is at our disposal must be re-
sorted to Internationally
Use All Weapons Available.
The Lokal Anzeiger assures its read
ers that a complete unity in aim and
ideas exists among the responsible
leaders, although it is impossible to
make their plans known publicly.
These involve, however, says the news
paper the waging of the war to a vic
tory with all the weapons available.
The article closes with rebuke to
those who draw false conclusions from
an incomplete knowledge Of the facts
and warns against irresponsible crit
icism of the leaders.

GERMANS USE LIQUID FIRE
Hot Battles Near Verdun Make No I'm
portant Position Changes

London, March 5o.-Heavy battles
have been in progress northwest and
northeast of Verdun and on the north
ern part of the Russian front, where
the Russians are keeping up their
strong offensive against the Germans.
In all these zones the losses have been
large, while the changes in position
have been relatively unimportant.
Northwest of Verdun, in the sector
of Avocourt- Mahncourt, the Germans,
after terrific bombardment, made a
vicious infantry attack, in which liquid
fire was employed against the French
front A fresh German division brought
up from remote point participated
in the operation. The French. how
ever, put down the attack with heavy
casualties to the assaulting forces, ex-
cept in the western part of the Malan-
court wood, some miles from Verdun,
where the Germans made slight pro
gress.
