MISPLACED CHARITY.

The United States senate has
acted wisely in forbidding gov.
eminent bureaus to receive fnan-
clal support from private sources
The amendment offered by Sena.
tor Chamberlain and adopted by
the senate was aimed particularly
at the foundations" established
by John d. Rockefeller and An
drew Carnegie. There may be
no harm in those philanthropic in
situations as long as they are di
rected by wise and public-spirit-
ed men. But they have latent
capacity for harm. And at best,
it Is humiliating that so rich and
powerful an institution as the
United States government should
rely on charity for carrying on
any phase of its work.
Senator Chamberlain was
moved TO present his resolution bv
the fact that the federal bureau
of education has been for some
years employing experts whose
salaries were paid by the Gene
'al Education Board. It is that
board which has now announced
is intention Of trying to alter our
system Of education.

Modern Farming congratulates
the sugar planters onthe success
full outcome Of their last crop, and
hopes they will profit from the
lessons Of the past, by taking
steps looking towards the furth-
erance Of their crop-diyersitica-
ton programme. We anticipate
soon seeing numbers of the more
progressive sugar men charging
their livestock operations, and
i'll this they will, indeed, be tax
ing a move in the right direction.
Cattle development is slow, and
the time to push along in that IN
dustry is particularly appropriate
now that the sugar business
would seem assured of prosperous
times for several years. In de-
yeloping the dairy business or
beef cattle, expenditures exceed
revenues at the start, and the
time to lay the foundation for
such herds is when the regular
channel Of industry is producing
good profits; then, a little later,
the side industry becomes self
sustaining, and shortly thereafter
profit-producing. The wise SUI
gar man Is now preparing for
what he regards as the inevitable
the time when he will either
have to grow more sugar per
acre at cheaper cost, or get out
of the running. Going in for cat
tie either beef or dairy-is his
one best bet for the unpleasant
future when foreign sugars make

therefore, can be substituted in
the diet for the latter foods with
out materially altering the pro-
portion of protein consumed. In
addition to protein, eggs also
furnish fat and a number Of val
liable mineral elements, including
sulphur, PHOSPHORUS, iron. cal
cium, and magnesium, in an easily
asslmilable form, and are be-
lieved also to be rich in certain
essential vitalizing elements
called vitaminS.
Like milk and unlike meats,
eggs do not contain substances
convertible in the body into uric
acid. Their shells constitute the
only waste materials. Ninety
seven per cent Of the portion eat
en-a high proportion compared
to other foods-is digested. No
cooking is necessary for
eggs, and there is therefore a saw
ing of time, labor, and fuel in
heir preparation when they are
compared with many other foods.
For all these reasons eggs deserve
IN important place in the diet for
Use at times in place of other
oods rich in protein, provided egg
prices are not so high as to out
Weigh the other considerations.

SUGAR AND DIVERSIFICA-
TON.

Louisiana S 1916 cane-crop goes
down in history as probably the
most profitable ever produced,
and perhaps it brought more
profit to the growers and sugar
manufacturers alike than they
will ever again enjoy. The rea-
son, of course, was primarily that
sugar has been a scarce article
on account of the war preventing
Importations from abb Dad. and
due to the warning nations draw
ing sugar from the usual source
Of American supply. There was
another factor, however, very
largely influencing the big profits
recorded by the sugar planters,
and that was the heavy tonnage
secured from the plant cane crop,

sugar that ruled during the sea-

heavy reductions in cane area, and
an improved agriculture was

THINKS aliens
MAY BE DRAFTED
BY HOME nation
Attorney Huber Says Such Z
Move Would Add | ,000, 900
Men to Allies Rolls

That friendly aliens in Hawaii who
are between the ages Of 81 and 81
may, sometime in the future, be turn
ed over to their respective govern
ments for military service, is one Of
the theories drawn by local fedora
officials from news which has reach
cd Honolulu to the effect that legisla
ton along this line is being planned
for introduction in congress.
IF such legislation should be enact
ed, and all friendly aliens in the
United States were turned back to the
countries to which they owe allegi
Rnce," says District Attorney S. c
Huber, 1t would mean that a million
men would be added to the fighting
forces Of the Allies"
- Attorney Huber points out that, in
his opinion, one Of the main reasons
for compelling men Of all nationalities,
whether citizens or not, to register
for military service was to aid In
checking up on the actual number OF
aliens in the United States subject to
military duty in their respective
countries. BY this procedure, he says,
countries fighting with the Allies
Great Britain, Canada, Australia
France, Italy and others-would be in
a position to tell the number OF men
In tha United States they could call
upon TO help swell the ranks of their
Armies.
81 have little doubt that the
United States would comply with re-
quest of an allied country to turn over
the natives Of that country now IN the
Unied States" said Attorney Huber.
Unmarried natives Of Great Britain
now resident In Hawaii have been re-
qnested TO volunteer for service In the
homeland, and thus far q large mum
Der have responded to the call. Brit
ish Consul e. L. s. Gordon remarked
some time ago that he did not believe
any Britishers in Hawaii would be
drafted into the army. It IL likely that
married natives Of Britain will be
asked to volunteer as soon az the local
British club makes arrangements for
the support Of their dependents.
