General Funston was dead right in

General Funston was dead right in
refusing permission to ranters to hold
revivals in the military camps on the
Texas border: In replying to the
criticisms Of one Of the would-be soul
saving zealots the general asks: "How
about the rights of the men who do
not want to attend revivals and do not
wish to be disturbed by them? Are
they to be compelled to leave the camp,
which is their home, and wander about
down town or through fields to get
away from them? Has a man no
rights because he is a soldier. There
are many religious people who disap-
prove strongly of revivals and their
emotionalism. And anyhow, be man
religious or irreligious, Hebrew or
Mohammedan, no other person has a
right to rub his belief r--his worship
into his face"

The biennial report of the Mime
sofa game and fish department, which
has just been filed with the governor,
contains much information: relative
to the wild life assets. The annual val
ue of wild life assets to the state are
estimated at $1O,3OO,00O, and every eff
fort has been made to make the esti-
mate conservative. Methods of pre-
vention and propagation are deserving
of serious consideration. Deer are re-
ported to be reasonably plentiful, but
the game bird situation is far from
satisfactory. The scarcity Of the
partridge is noted everywhere; and
prairie chickens are few except in a
certain limited area. The remedy
proposed is refugees and closed sea-
sons and protection from natural en-
emies. The fish and game laws of the
state were revised at the last session
of the legislature, and as a result for
the first time in the history of the
fish and game department it is now
self-sustaining. The probabilities are
that proper steps for the preservation
of wild life will be taken az the COM
ing session. :> '...

Great things are expected from
David Lloyd-George, Britain's new
prime minister, and it is said that he
will burst all the red tape that tends
to bind vigorous official action. That
something of this sort is needed is
evidenced by the following from the
Christian Science Monitor:
From time to time, a story comes
along from "Somewhere in England"
or "Somewhere in France" or some
where elsewhere, which shows that
"the official routine of the official de-
partment" is receiving much buff citing
in these times. A certain commander
on certain front decided, after care
full thought, that he needed certain
things, and needed them very much.
He sent his list to headquarters, and,
after long delay, came sheaf Of
official forms full Of detailed inquiry
as to why he wanted each thing he
had asked for. The commander
thought over the matter for a day or
two. Finally he took his courage in
both hands, and blue pencil in one
of them, and, so the story goes, wrote
across each Of the forms the legend,
II want these things because there is
a war on over here" He got them,
without further question.

Despite the inflated prices that con-
sumers must pay for eatables, farm
ers are not reaping profits greatly in
excess Of normal, owing to the in
creased cost Of reduction Bat it is
very evident chat our present wasteful
marketing system should be reformed.
For instance potato growers in the
vicinity of Princeton are receiving
about dollar bushel for spuds, while
Red Wing consumers are paying two
dollarssa bushel for tubers. And Red
Wing is less than a hundred miles
