The New Price of Corn

It to be expected that the bill prohibiting the of grain in the manufacture of distilled liquor would have first depressing effect on the market, it has already had and that that effect would be communicated in lesser degree to all other cereals. The withdrawal of the distillers from the market reported Friday resulting the clogging of outlet very naturally produced congestion with resultant lower prices
 We suppose the cause of the depression was in part psychological. many of the causes of mar ket fluctuations when they do not proceed di- rectly from manipulation. But this result of the results intended by the egislationto reduce the price of foodstuffs It may not be satisfactory result far the growers concerned but the prices they have been receiving have allowed them extraordinary profit and have proved too great burden consumers
 The growers, however need not be discouraged. The prices will rebound for the demand for Corn other cereals will increase shortly beyond any de- mand that has been made upon them the past. Prices unless restricted within proper bourds under the food control law will be higher than ever though of course not high they would have been if the distlers had been left free waste, the cereals

PUPiT PARAGRAPH
The Leadership of Jesus

Rev Joseph Gail Garrison, Unitarian
 Minister.
 Some folks think that it is danger ous to talk religion. It is dangerous to talk about what some people consider religion. In a sense it is difficult to define religion in concrete terms. In some vague way almost everyone has some conception-a sort of T know what it is but can't say it'' idea of re- ligion I have heard and read great many definitions of religion and after thinking and studying over this great problem 1 have come to the conclusion that religion is the best way of doing everything. It is possible for us to make our work into an art Art is work raised to the nth power; art is the ability to turn work into play. There is an ele- ment of satisfaction and joy in playing the. part of the artist, for the result is worthy, it must be done the best way Obviously the thing that we are all l most interested in is living. Religion, | then, is the best way of living. It IS also evident that, in view of the terrible | slaughter now going on over in Europe people have not been willing to practice the best way of living together. There must be a better way for folks to get along in the world than to be at war When we give it a thought we are bound to admit that mahlSind as well as all the forms of life have sprung and l developed from a common source. We are all children together in a common household, enjoying alike common parentage, call it univers, God, or whai you will, it will not alter the great fact | If we would seek one who would lea6 us into the best way of living, we shoud find such an one in the persor of Jesus, not the theological figure in
 vented during the medieval ages, bul the man who walked beside the Syrian
 Sea. He taught that the kingdom o1 heaven is at hand and one of the way: to realize this is as He said, to low your neighbor as yourself and even g
 so far as to love your enemies. Il stirring times like these it is fitting that we now and then heed the voie'
 shouting in the wilderness of Reopen turn around and go the other way for the kingdom of heaven is at hand

A Military Policy, Not an Expedisnt

We have the selective draft machinery in operation long enough to convince all reasonable persons of the necessity of military policy and military expedient-the necessity com pulsory training and service We have gone into the thing blindly running upon some disquieting facts. Of knew that had training, but flsttered ourselves that we had ample material for training that the creation of sufficient army would be a comparatively simple matter. We sup posed physical condition all right for the that before had occasion to look into the matter
 But find in this county, elsewhere in the country whence have had reports of examinations. that there is surprising number of physically unfit. The examining boards following very closely the government requirements and when there has been doubt it generally resolved in of the government and the subject has been passed. No doubt first especially the army surgeons will reject whom the local boards have accepted Anyhow, it appears from such organizations have been made of young between the ages of 21 and 31, the flowery period of manhood, we a rather physically debilitated nation
 Under such a system of training and service as there is in Switzerland there would be different story be told. If it would have made better physically it would at least have let know where stood before adopted any plan for entrance into the war. We may now estimate that if We had ths Swiss plan with exemptions from service we could raise untrained army of not, at the most, 6,000,000 from the of the nation between ages of 21 and 31 That, too would include aliens. Deducting the aliens who between those ages sup posed to constitute at least 16 per cert of the total registration though the alien population is only F per cent of total population, would have army citizens (no exemptions) of about 5,SO0000 We had estimated population January l of this year of 113OOO,OOO.
 The Swiss have division similar to ours with re- spect to age The Auszug or Elite (the first nel consists of young from 20 to 32 years. These men constitute field army of 000 with separate force of 21 900 for frontier duty. This of 161 900 is exclusive of the Landwehr and the Land sturm both together 52O,0OO The population of Switzerland in 19lO which the foregoing figures apply was 3,753,293. On the basis of population Switzerland would have Elite army of 5635000 men, 32 trained of known physical fitness, while ours would be smaller, made up wholly of trained of conjectural physical fitness

cost should go unchallenged The large mutual insurance companies fur nish insurance at actual cost and that that cost is as low as it could pos sibly be made is evidenced by the fact that none Of the New York com panies' expenses are as high as the rigid insurance laws of that state say are fair and equitable. That law says that 9 per cent of the premium in come is fair expense charge. Tine New York life last year used only 14.G per cent Of it's premium income for expenses; the Mutual Life Of New York only used 16.S per cent, and the Equitable of N. Y. only used 17.S per cent.

Before any person who lives south
of the Mason and Dixon line, attempts
to cast any suspicion of dishonor or
disloyalty upon the Negro citizen and
soldier of the south by insinuating
treachery or uprising thru German
plots, let them first be loyal and make
the sacrifices the Negro has already
made before they dare cast any stone.
