 Conditions at Center.
 That the town would do we'll to again consider the question of having an officer on duty around the center IS the belief of many prominent citizens who are simply disgusted with the conditions now existing The warm weather has made Central Square a Mecca for a certain unde- dI the day as we'll as night loafers, in various stages of intoxication, may be found seated on curbs and store fronts in the business section.
 Thursday nights after the transfer station help draw their pay the con- ditions are extremely bad. It is then that many unsightly characters stag ser around the square and make Plainville resemble a mining town after big strike of pav dirt
 The transfer station men are not alone in making the center an un- attractive place. There are residents of the town who contribute to it's rn- stghtl1ness and it is clear that the consta bles are not overexerting them selves in an effort to make the center more wholesome.
 Arrests and substantial punishment IS seemingly the only thing that will serve as deterrent. Such a course would at least keep 1oafers away from the main thoroughfares even IF 1t wouldn't convince them that in busy times there is no excuse for their re- fuS1ng to toll

through the blaze to the amusement
OF thousands Of spectators. Superin-
tendent of the Electricity Department

tically the entire Hammond plant, by

STATESMEN WITHOUT VISION.

No statesmen in the world were
ever less discerning as to the ultl-
mate requirements in military pre-
marathon than were the British states
men in the reign of King VII, who
radically changed the old British for
eign policy of splendid isolation
by perfecting the entente with
France and preparing the way for
the later understanding with Russia
II was that change OF policy which
carried the empire straight into the
present war as an ally Of Russia and
France against the Teutonic powers.
The British parliament has finally
in 1916, reached the point OF estao-
fishing general compulsory military
service. Only the severest pressure
of events in actual war could have
brought Great Britain to this pass,
owing to the political institutions and
the traditions of the people. Yet the
new foreign policy adopted more
than a decade ago, as events have
now demonstrated, made imperative
the establishment Of universal COM
pulsory military service as early as

OUR STAGGERING FOOD PRICES.

Great Britain has taken action
that should be of great interest 20
the United States, especially to the
people of this nation She is cur
failing exports of certain goods to
the United States on the grounds
they are needed at home. Wouldn't
similar action on the part of the
United States be welcomed by the
people of this country? The effect Of
enormous shipments of foodstuffs 10
Great Britain is growing greater in
this country. 1t would not be neces-
sary to stop the shipment of all
foodstuffs to Europe, but they should
be curtailed in the interest of the
millions of Americans who are fore
led to pay outrageous prices for food.
A few days ago it was announced
that an American concern had con-
tracted with a British concern for
100000 worth of sugar and fol-
lowing this the price of sugar went
up. The same situation prevails In
other lines. Such transactions are
great things for the crowd that con-
troll our foodstuffs, but a heavy bur-
den is inflicted on the millions of
Americans toilers who can't under
stand why they must pay unheard of
prices for the necessities of life

SOME THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

A tablespoon of sugar added TO
boiled starch is a great improvement
in a number of ways. The clothes
will be easier to iron and more glossy
The irons will not stick. The clothes
will have more transparent sheer
look than where the sugar is omitted.
Kerosene lamps and stoves have a
tendency to throw off an odor when
turned low. To avoid this take the
wicks when new and saturate them
in vinegar They must be perfectly
dried before being used. When treat
ed in this way the light may DE turn
ed down to the finest point and it will
neither smell nor smoke.
This is the season of the year when
it behooves every farmer to look al
ter the vacant corners, waste places,
and the like. Too much high priced
land in Iowa goes to waste. There
are non-productive feed lots, untitled
sloughs and swails, turn rows and
fence corners enough to grow the
vegetables required by our entire
population and then some. In 40
other country on the globe is there
waste land like we have here in Iowa
and in other states. In the towns
and cities are vacant lots growing up
in weeds that would grow potatoes
enough to feed the inhabitants there
of. 1t is up to the individual farmer
to see to it that every nook and cor
ner produces something besides
weeds. Now is the time to take an
inventory of the waste places.
We are beginning to hear about
the use of denatured alcohol again
Some years ago when congress re-
moved the internal revenue tax up
on this commodity and provided that
farmers and others could make it by
complying with certain conditions 1t
was believed that great use would be
made of it. But it proved to be only
a passing dream. We believe there
was a distillery established at Mar
shalltown but trust soon bought il
out and nothing more came of it. The
high price of gasoline is again slim
ulating interests in this commodity
1t may be that some good vii result,
from the high price Of oil. Alcohol
is the cheapest heat producing COM
modify that can be manufactured
and with heat comes the elements OF
power. In this country when prices
get unusually low we let the potato
crop rot in the ground just as was
done in Minnesota last fall. In Ger
many potatoes ave converted, into
alcohol and the refuse after the pro-
cess is completed is made into bread.
Germany is not feeling the embargo
imposed upon gasoline because of the
British blockade because that coun-
try finds denatured alcohol splendid
substitute. Germany furnishes this
country with many object lessons
