SALOON MEN WROTHY

DOUGLAS, April 19.-The saloon men of Douglas are wroth over the fact that s. Walstedt of the Home Bar, appeared before the City coun- cil at it's regular session Monday night, when he asserted that he rep resented the majority of the saloon men of the town and requested that the council repeal the midnight clos ing ordinance. Daniel Harding, chair man of the Douglas Liquor Dealers Association, signs his name to de- nial of Walsted's statement and says the members of the association are satisfied with the ordinance as it now reads. The fact of the matter is that the people of Douglas have not yet made up their minds as to whether or not they want any sa- looms open after June 30th. and any agitation at the present time favoring anything along the lines of a wide open" town would result in the "lid" being put on July 1st instead of January 1st Even now it is said that number of present license holders will not renew after June.

Dusseldorf Papers Say Food. Supplies Now at Low Point in
 the Empire.
BAKERIES ARE CLOSED
Poor People Running in Debt; Public Relief Must Be Given
 Hundreds.

COPENHAGEN, April 19.--A Col ogne dispatch. to the Berlin Tage- blatt says sixty-eight bakeries there have been closed by the police for violation of the food regulations.
 The results of the statistical inves- tigation into the war cost of living in Germany, which was conducted in April 1916. and which are nov pub lishcd. show the cost of the bare necessities of life for families in the lowest wage class materially ex- ceeds their income. This class in cludes families earning from 100 to 200 marks monthly, and their living expenses are put at 222 marks, , pfennigs.
 The deficit, the report remarks, has been covered by either drawing on savings or running into debt. Prices have steadily gone upward, in creasing the impossibility of the poor ly-paid classes, who include persons ranked as in the educated middle classes in America, to make ends meet without public relief.

HAS HUMANITY ADVANcED?-

HAS HUMANITY ADVANCED
We are now at the highest point of
civilization, or rather as it is claimed
to be. During many centuries the
remaining instincts of savagery have
been slowly traced out of human life.
Men, in undergoing the reaction of
savagery, have turned their minds
into machinery and have become
great inventive geniuses, with the
great aim to enlighten life, so that
more time could be devoted to the
cause of humanity. But instead of
bringing peace and mirth on the
earth to serve as a fundamental
basis for the humanity to come, our
high civilization has caused constant
dying away of the humanity which
has already been formed.
At times we seem to think. that
civilization has greatly changed and
bettered our ways of living from
those of our ancestors, while the civ
ilization of today is but the more pol
ished and efficient savagery of yes
terday. Instead of cabbage heads
being used in throwing at the foe.
we have machine guns; instead of
boiling water, we have liquid fire and
many other means of destruction
instead of those used in the days of
savagery; these are the main things
which mark the civilization of this
epoch.

With the great era of civilization
open TO men, it is education for the
young that is needed to make them
better humanitarians Until now the
schools have served this purpose, but
lately a new kind of education has
been introduced in high schOols-an
education which means constant war
instead Of everlasting peace; instead
of broadening the idea of humanity
it will displace it by murder and
slaughter; instead of frightening life
it will bring horrors, hardships and
destruction of the peaceful home.
And the idea of preparing the boys,
it is thought, will thus make an aver
sion to war, while the training which
they are about to have will simply
brutalize their minds and make them
hunger for real action, the result of
which is war.
Before this action had been intro
dUced there was a long discussion as
to which system should be chosen be-
tween the Swiss and the German.
Either one of the systems might
please some of the people, but to the
people in general there is no differ
ence which is adopted, for both mean
slaughter as far as humanity is con-
cerned. Probably one of them is
more efficient and effective as far as
the civilization of today is concerned.
Can humanity advance with the
present civilization in full sway?
What results may the future genera
tions await from its advancement Of
today? Has humanity advanced

Poor Wheat Outlook

Let the citizens of Richmond read the news
dispatch which follows. 1t will prove to them
that the call for the conservation of food sup
ply is not a hysterical one.
The condition Of the wheat crop on April /,
as compiled by the United States government,
was 63.4 per cent of normal. The acreage planted
to wheat last autumn was one of the largest in
the history of the United States, but adverse
weather conditions destroyed more than 80 per
cent of the growing wheat.
The government report deserves your care
full attention. Do not waste a scrap of food. Save
everything and use it for other meals. Do not
wait until the pinch of scarcity strikes you, but
begin now.
We are convinced that few persons will heed
the warning of the government Most of us ex-
ercise little forethought. When the day of want
comes do not blame the government, but blame
yourself.
The news dispatch is appended:
WASHINGTON April THE winter wheat crop of
the United States will be about 43Oo0000O bushels the

tend to till the soil this year with patriotic fervor
and zeal.

and zeal.
The dollar and cents view is not the incentive
that will bring success to Governor Goodrich's
movement to make Indiana soil yield it's utmost
productivity this year. The motive behind it is
simon pure patriotism.
And that is the spirit with which Wayne coun-
ty farmers went to work this week. The task of
blowing the fields and sowing the seed will take
on new meaning and nobler purpose this year.
Every hard lick which the agriculturist puts
in this spring is blow struck in defense of the
United States and for the perpetuation of the
principles for which the American government
stands.
The experience of England and France
proves that the war will be won by the side that
has the greatest resources and husbands them
best
One of the most important contributions of
America to the ultimate victory Of her allies will
be the amount of foodstuff which she can spare to
feed their armies and their people. If Wayne
county farmers can make their acres yield more
abundantly than ever before because of intensive
cultivation this year, they will be contributing
their share to the warfare which the United
States is waging.
The large attendance at Saturdays meeting,
despite the short time given to work up the meet
ing, proves that the farmers are willing and anx
ious to help the cause Of patriotism. One class of
our citizenship has spoken. Let all of us prove
that We are patriots as well.

To Liue Long!

A recipe given by a famous physician
for long life was: Keep the kidneys in
good order! Try to eliminate thru the
skin and intestines the poisons that other
wise clog the kidneys. Avoid eating
meat as much as possible; avoid too much
salt, alcohol, tea. Try milk and vege-
table diet. Drink plenty Of water, and
exercise 80 you sweat-the skin helps to
eliminate the toxic poisons and uric acid"

Every patriot must keep this issue and this
answer in mind.
; It is not question of whether the war is
wrong or right, whether President Wilson acted
wisely or foolishly.
/ 1t is not question of how many relatives you
may have in Germany, or how great you may adj
mire the German people. or how pro-German
you were in the past
The tremendously important question is that
the United States has decreed for war, and the
American people must now look upon the German
government as an enemy.
1t is struggle between two nations Every
citizen must be an American who now looks upon
Germany as his enemy. He must be pro-Ameri-
can in every respect and in every particular He
cannot be luke warm or neutral" He must re-
member that if Germany wins the war, every
American must pay the price for that victory.
In that event, the United States will be con-
quered country, paying tribute to Germany.
Hence there can be but one outcome if Amer
lean happiness and prosperity are to continue,
namely, victory for the United States. Defeat
will wipe out this republic.
