are being received, however, from
Colorado, Ohio, New Hampshire, Tex

the new volume, the Boston Book
Co. says tThis little booklet, GOV.

THE EGG SPECTATOR.

The agricultural department an
nounces that eggs are going into cold
storage at "a cents per dozen, which
is so per cent higher than last year.
This means that during most OF
next fall and winter American house
wives will have to pay so per cent
more for eggs than last fall and win
ter. Figure it out, please. 1t means
so to 80 cent eggs, doesn't it? Just
about-and, likely, more too, for the
cold storage man will not only put
that so per cent extra he's now pay
ing for eggs upon his prices, but his
expenses are going to be higher and
the housewife can safely bet the good
will of her cook that these increases
will also go upon the price of eggs.
You will not. rupture your power OF
imagination by picturing yourself,
father and the children coming out to
the breakfast table, cold mornings
next winter, to find eggs 81 the dozen.
Your family, Mrs. Housewife, is in
the center of a ring. Circling round
and round 60 high priced hen food,
high eggs, high cold storage, high ev-
everything. You can sit in that cen
ter and tearfully roar for government
help or you can help yourselves.
How? Well. in the case of eggs, by
preserving eggs now for next winters
use. And eggs are a fine substitute
for meat and other foods that are
surely going to fly above the reach of
anti.aircraft guns.
The cold storage men are taking
so per cent more risk in putting up
eggs for you. They simply have SO
per cent more confidence in your help
lessness. They plan to hard-fry you
in December. They will, unless you
scramble them in April.

MISUSE OF POWER.

In the Non-Partisan Leagues CAM
paign last year they cried both long
and loud against "boss-rule" and lob
bying": and the annals of history can
furnish no better example of usurp-
ing Of rights Of the people, when
nee in position than the 1917 legisla-
ture portrayed under it's doctors.
Yes, the tyrannical Nero of Roman
history presented no more browning
example Of misuse of great power
than they have furnished. And they
are also possessed with a spirit OF
proselytism in the most fanatical de-
gree by coercion.
than likely resort to terrorism in any
instance, though honest, through mis-
guided convictions, are fast degener-
ating into common criminals, and
general enemies of humane society.
Such becoming generally known, l
predict that within two years the
Non-Partisan cries of success will be
simply like forlorn wiistlings in a
graveyard. Why, their local Pussy
foot orator from here even publicly
expressed some ~displeasure against
labor assigned him, and only in a
half-hearted, questionable manner
took to the field of oratory in their
behalf. No need to waste time on re-
grets that the state, nation or the
world furnishes examples and has
contended with such as the aboye.

quired by lease a strip Of land 800

on the south. which will be utilized
as a right of way for a Storage track

BOARD TO COST MORE
Because the cost of groceries and
other edibles have increased almost
100 per cent over the beginning of
the last 'biennium, students who eat
at institution boarding houses in the
several normals, the agricultural col.
lege and the state university, face
the probability Of having to feed lass
or pay more. The price of board at
these state owned and operated cat,
cries runs from SO to $3.50 per week.
The minimum price is enjoyed 10y

Andrew johnson, succeeding to the

In some parts Of the country Irish
potatoes cannot be grown successfully.
That is true of most, southern states.
There the sweet potato takes its
place. But many northern states, too.
are suitable for sweet potato prOduc-
tion. In fact. they are grown in
certain localities all the way up to
the southern Minnesota boundary line.
Sweet potatoes demand a growing
period of at least four and a half
months without frost; warm nights
and abundant sunshine during the
day. and a moderate rainfall during
the growing season. They thrive
best in moderately fertile sandy loan ;
and may be grown in almost pure sand.

II we are to make adequate prepar-

that everyone of us recognize the au-
thorify and the power that is vested
in our commander-in-chief; that we
not only recognize it but accept it
Loyalty and cheerfully.
And having recognized and accept

manifest duty of everyone of us to
obey the orders of our commander

with our approval.

members aof the senate.
t We hold that when a democracy
through it's representatives in con-
gress has declared war, that the very
first sacrifice it must make for the
period. Of the war is it's democracy.
If it is unwilling to do this then it
should not declare war. for war is the
antithesis Of democracy.
They will no more mix than oil and
water will mix.
We believe that the idea of politi-
cal ~liberty-that it is the inalienable
right Of human beings to govern
themselves, which is the essence of
democracy-is the most magnificent
idea that ever originated in the brain
of man.
F., We believe that nothing has done
so much for the progress and uplift
OF the human race: that the whole
future of mankind depends upon the
preservation of democracy wherever
it exists and the substitution of de.
mocracy for autocracy wherever au
tocracy exists. h t,
Worldwide democracy mean few

on that the ideal Of democracy is
peace. War in the final analysis is
the clash of ideals. When all the
nations of the earth have the same
ideals there will he world peace.
We express the foregoing truths be-
cause it seems to us that there is a
very great m~isconception among all
classes of people throughout the ma
ton as to why the United States has
entered the world war and how it can
be effective now that it has entered
it.
The popular conception seems to
be that we should go forth to this
great battle for world democracy and
world peace as a mob, fighting among
ourselves, refusing to obey any lead
ership other than our own opinions
and prejudices.
We have just as positive opinions
as anyone as to how the country
should prepare for the war with Ger.
many and fight it. :
In the main our opinions coincide
with those Of our commander-in-chief
the president, as expressed in his
mastery address to congress when
he asked that war be declared.

we conceive it to be u patriotic
