STRAIGHT TALK IN GERMANY.

One of the significant facts in Ger many at present is the freedom ot speech allowed Maxmillian Harden, editor of the leading Socialist pub'i- cation of the empire.
 Extracts from Harden's writings reaching this country indicate that h, is granted more leeway in talking or writing his mind than had been pe:- mitted in peace times. In fact, Ha"- den "gets off, stuff that the kaise" used to think reasonable. But coa- ditions have changed in Germany, it appears, and to shut down on Harden now would in all probability precipi- tate what the ruling aristocracy is most anxious to avoid.
 This is at least good sign. The military cast. though still in the sad Lls, hasn't the nerve it used to have. It's chief characteristic is less prom inent. It's willingness to permit Har- den and other socialistic leaders to "talk right out in meeting" conclu- siyely indicates weakening of the domjneerdng spirit of yestewears.
 No wonder social reforms are at

Senate and house conferees yes- terday reached an agreement on the selective draft measure, fixing the age limit of those subject to draft into the service of the government rom 21 to 30 years, inclusive. As soon as the measure is passed by congress it will be obligatory upon all men between the ages of 21 and ga years and six months to register with the registration board of their respective precincts or wards.
 This does not mean that all com. ing within the age of the limits fixed will be drafted. Married men and men employed in occupations neces. sary to the industrial welfare of the nation probably will not be ordered out. Many others will be unable to qualify because of physical defects.
 It is very probable that those to be drafted will be men of from 9 to 26 years of age, without dependents and who can be spared from their present occupations without inter- ference with the operation of indus tries necessary to the welfare of the country.

SHILLING TIE MOODS.

In yesterdays issue of the Cham Der Of Commerce Bulletin this is fcLrd:
 Many a would-bc statesman has Iii stakcn an accidental political pre- fcrmcnt for a providential edict to reform the world, only to wake up when he has hit mother earth again with a dull, sickening thud, and learn that he is simply an ordinary creature-a pigmy in the midst of towering human giants, whom he would destroy in that old worn-ous game of demagoguery."
 Sounds as though the editor of the Bulletin is after somebody, but in shelling the woods without defini'e target, he's wasting a lot of ammuni- tiOn.
 Maybe we won't have to go to Eu- rope or look through the files of 5 .mc of the old papers to. see scrap.

SIMPLE DEVICE TO
 BALANCE FLYWHEEI.

An operation which is simplicity itself, yet which is very important in the building of an automobile, is the balancing of flywheels, clutch cones and other parts of motor car requir- ing an even distribution of weight.
 One of the very interesting features of automobile construction at the Willy-Overland factories is this oper- ation of balancing f!ywheels and clutch cones. Peculiarly, the trueing of the weight in these parts is done in diametrically opposite manner.
 The flywheel is mounted on a shaft and is suspended on a pair of rollers. Naturally the heavier portion of it swings immediately to the bottom. This point is accurately noted by the WOrkmen.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1917-05-11

Weights are then mounted on the gears to determine how much over weight is the marked point. After sufflclent weight has been added to the lighter side to properly balance the wheel, a drill, exactly the size of the weights, take out the required amount to properly balance the fly wheel. Thus, if two weights have been used to equalize the weight of the wheel, two holes are drilled on the heavier side; if three weights, three holes, and so on.
 Clutch cones, however, are balanced by plugging the lighter side with

some SPUD MONEY
IDAHO POTATO GROWER REAL
IZEs $500, 900 ON CROP.

Sioux City, March l4.-Out in
Idaho. near the little town of Burley
to be exact, there's a a who owns
something like 900 eacres of land.
On these 900 acres last spring he
and his help planted row after row
of potato hills. Then he and his help
took il easy for a few months and
waited. The help, of course, was
kept busy every now and then doing
a little c%ultivating such as keeping
down the weeds and doing other lit
tie odd jobs which are preliminary to
the harvesting of a potato crop.
Potato time came. the crop was
harvested and then the market be-
gan to act in a wild manner to
fluctuate madly in fact. In Idaho,
which Is one OF the greatest potato
raising sections in the country, the
grower doesn't sell by the bushel.
Everything %(meaning potatoesl is
sold by the hundred weight. The
900-acre potato ranch" averaged
200 sacks Goo pounds EACH to the
acre. While the market was acting
up and fluctuating, as IL we're, the
potato raneher" sat tight in the
boat and waited some more. Up and
up the market went and when the
time came the "spud king unload
ed. lie got something like $2.75 to
SO for each sack. As George AIDE
would say. he unloaded heavy" and
then counted his money. His bank
book showed something like $500
600 added to his account, the reve-
nue. coming from this little 900 acres
of nuggets"
The above account of potato rails
ing in Idaho and Montana was
brought back TO Iowa by G. ID. Ha-
ger, a potato buyer of Alton. la,
who was in Sioux City today. Mr..
Hager formerly lived in Sioux City.
He tells some more interesting yarns
about the out-of-reach vegetable.
