WHAT SHALL BE A sLAckER2

Here is a question which many would answer with the assertion that ii is the man who stays at home and allows another to bear his burdens on the firing line, and which answer in former campaigns would have been sufficient, but in the world war that is now waging, such a person cannot be classified as a stacker.
 Here is where the selectiye draft is going to get in it's work and place a crown upon the head of the man who stays at home because his country deems him best suited for work there, as well as upon that of the man who shoulders a musket and actually faces the rain of fire.
 When you speak of wars, you only suggest pictures of fighting. There is never a consideration given to the man who must prepare the way, and to care for the sick and the wounded Someone must attend to this, and while everyman is sufficiently patriot ic to go to the front, the man who puts aside his personal preference, should be entitled to as much credit for the work he accomplishes as the soldier
 The government is in this war 10 win, and it is going to place the men of the country where they will do the most good. Life is as sweet to one man as to another, but we cannot put on the firing line the men who best serve in some other capacity. This ciency which has been worked out hy i. the officials in charge of the campaign which must terminate as a triumph for Democracy.
 Let us take the man who has an earning capacity of $25,0 per an mum. Such men are usually physical ly unfit for military service, but we'll just surmise that perehance there be one who is hale and hearty and fult of fight. This man, if the government follows the indications, will be al lowed to retain about $5,000 of his an- nual earnings, and the government will take the balance. He will be re- quired to go ahead with his business and provide the wherewithal to keep about 100 men equipped and fighting This man sacrifices his earnings and virtually puts all of his faculties Ut the disposal of the government. This same government could just as easily put this man on the front, but there !, T lo could do it no better than the man who is fitted for nothing higher in the governments scheme of conducting the war. He would probably be in- ferior in manual labor. And while he was at the front the government would be deprived of this mans earn ing power. This would absolutely cut

off the source of supplies, and in short time the army would find itself without food or ammunition
 We can hardly think the govern ment would cut off the limb upon which it is sitting, by making a fight ing machine out of this man instead of a producer. The government will maintain proper balance and there will be only a required number of pro- ducers. The others will be sent to places where they can do the most ser vice. If man is in the government service, even though it be in the woods getting out timber with which to make gun stocks, he is doing his bit, and should be as thoroughly eligible to pa triotic societies of the future, as the man who carries that gunstock to Flanders.
 This is not a defense of the stay at home, or written by one who hopes to he among them. The editor of this paper is ready and willing to serve his country in whatever capacity that country demands. If it is the trenches in France, which we hope will be the trenches of Germany by the time we could get there, then it is the trenches for us, yet we will think nothing less of the man who places himself at the disposal of his country and is deemed best suited for other work, in doing that to which he is assigned.
 None of us have a hankering for an introduction to a shower of lead, but if it comes, we'll all go like soldiers who have ever represented the Unit ed States and which have won for it the freedom which has made it the greatest country in the world, we'll go with out heart in our cause and with, the determination to win.

LET US FEED THOSE PRISONERS

About the most simple solution Of England's food problem would be to send to the United States all the pris' oners captured in the European thea ter of war. There are many reasons why this would be profitable all around, and in the end the United States would secure quite a number of valuable citizens at the close of the war
 Were these hundreds of thousands of prisoners transferred to the United States, the supplies needed to main tain them would not have to shipped for any considerable distance, thus releasing thousands of cars that now carry them to the seaports, the ships that transport it abroad, and none of it would be submarined. Here would be saving that would permit thou sands to be fed on the loss through ships being torpedoed
 There is ample ground in the Unit ed States for the production of food stuff, with the prisoners tilling the soil
 A local wholesaler believes the best use to which these prisoners can be put is to use them as ballast on trans Atlantic ships. to force the subma- rines to desist in their warfare, or to send many of their countrymen to the bottom of the ocean. He would keep a large number of Germans on each boat, and send them back and forth as often as there was load to be car ried
 Arkansas would welcome a deten- ton camp for German prisoners. It would be great lift from England to have Arkansas feed about 50,000 of them, and this Arkansas will do if they are sent here, thus releasing other sections to care for the people of the warning nations, and their armies.
