ADMIRAL HELMS RECOMMENDA-
TIONS.

There is nothing at all unexpected in Ad-
miral Helms recommendation to congress
that Pensacola, aside from aviation, be de-
veloped only as "a submarine base and
supply depot. Those acquainted with mill
tary methods will readily understand why
two such distinct activities as airplane
instruction and aattleship construction
should not be attempted in one place. Eric
tion would be SURG to result Then there
are the problems OF labor, etc.
The pointed alusion to submarines,
however, indicates the departmental interest
in the Deep Water port-an interest that
has been crescent during the past few
years.
AS a supply depot Pensacola would be
unrivalled as submarine base she has
strategic location the equal Of any on the
gulf, and harbor facilities greatly superior
Other points of interest in the report of
the special committee, which; headed by
Admiral Helm, was appointed by President
Wilson to investigate our naval prepared
ness, are the retention of all existing navy
yards, the establishment of a number Of
submarine bases, and thorough aeronautic
survey of the coast of the United States and
its possessions.
The commission not o. avs it is Gun
necessary, undesirable and inadvisable' fc
abolish any naval yards or naval stations
at present established in the continental
United States, but adds that the present
equipment of many is inadequate in dry
docking facilities as well as in other i'm
portant directions, and urges their proper
development. Charleston, S. c., is specific
ally mentioned in this sense; but New Or
leans, because of its river approach, is moi
to be developed, merely the docks to be re
tanned. Mobile is not mentioned at all
Because of wide divergence of opinion
the location of submarine bases will not b,
determined for some time, and the aero
nautic survey is also for the future-let Ii
hope for the immediate future.
Location of aeronautic stations is, how
ever, simple matter-the problem is tt

ARMAMENT PROBLEM WITH
GERMANY

More than once the United States and
Germany have tilted over the question of
what constitutes an armed ship of war.
Basing its conception on international
law, the United States has consistently held
that one gun mounted aft, not exceeding
four inches in bore, constituted defensive
armament, not interfering with the inno-
cent character of the ship in question
Germany, for no other reason than that she
wants it so, has declared that if a ship
mounts any gun at all, it loses its status of
private commercial craft and becomes a
warship.
During certain raids in the South At
lantic, official announcement of which was
recently made, asGerman cruiser sunk and
captured number of vessels one of which

port, with several captured crews, who, it

FRANK r. WILSON.
Federal Farm Loan Bureau, Wash
ington, ID. c..

ington, ID. c.
The main points of the federal
farm loan act have been set forth
in the preceding installments. The
reader will readily see that this act
is new thing in this country, and
is liable to have an important eff
feet on our social and financial life
Let us briefly suggest some of its
possible effects:
The rapidly increasing cost of liv-
ing has of late given American
thinkers a great deal of uneasiness.
The fact is everywhere recognized
that our city population has been
increasing more rapidly than the ru-
raj population. Every day there are
some more mouths to feed, but there
is only a slowly increased acreage
upon which this food is produced.
Two important facts are therefore
patent:
\ First, more farms must be estah-
ished to provide homes for more
producers, and second, the land under
| cultivation must be .farmed more
carefully and with more and better
equipment to meet the growing de-
mand for food.
The farm loan act will have a
strong influence toward realization
of both of these ideals.
/ Farm tenantry is curse whose
worst effects are lowered fertility and
inefficient farm methods The tenant
is not normal farmer. The trans
lent nature OF his living makes maxi
mum production impossible. He is
often not meat producer, because he
is not on one farm long enough &c
build up herd of live stock. He Is
a grain farmer, and a grain farmer
is a sapper of fertility. He. is en-
gagged in the pastime of hauling the
fertility of his landlords soil to mar
ket. With approximately one-half OF
the farm lands of the country in the
hands of tenants, America is cashinp
in her land fertility at an amazina
rate.
The farm loan act has for one Of
) its important purposes the placing o.
land into the hands of owners WIN
will farm it with the inspiration thai
comes from ownership. The owner O
land treats it so as to conserve 1T
fertility. He is a permanent fixtur'
in the neighborhood. He markets hi
crop through his live stock, return
ing the fertility to the soil. A nation
; of land owners means a nation witt
a constantly increasing capacity t
produce food for its people.
But the farm loan act viii do NOR
: for agriculture than merely supply
ing cheap money. The act actual,
specifies how the money borrowe
shall be spent. It says that unles
used to pay debts, it shall be spen
on things that will contribute to NOR
production on the same acreage. s
the farm loan act means highe
and better type of agriculture.
But some students Of the act be
! lieve its greatest contribution viii b
the stimulation to the practice of CO
operation Cooperation is its basi
fact. Farmers are required to get to

h fits. When they put their mortgage

The Grip.

Grip Is something of joke to those
who have never had it, but when they
get it they become dead to all sense
of humor No disease was ever more
appropriately named because grip
takes hold of the entire system. To
get rid of it take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and carefully observe the d.
rections with each bottle. This rem
edy is highly recommended by those
who have used it and know its real
value. Obtainable everywhere.--Adv.

problems Of common interest. Who
knows but that these cooperative as
sociations may become the business
and social units of farm society?
The financial saving to the farm
ers of America would alone be enough
to justify this enactment. On vol
ume of four billion dollars our farm
ers are paying now nearly 8 per cent
annually, all of which is a tax on all
the people because it limits consump-
ton by hapdicapping the producer. If
this rate should be reduced by 4 per
cent it would mean an actual annual
saving Of $160,000,000. But this esti-
mate of the money to be saved does
not take into consideration the fact
that the normal volume of farm loan
business will greatly increase with an
advantageous interest rate.
The success of the farm loan bank
ing system is now up to the farmers
themselves. They have been given the
cooperative machinery to finance
themselves without profit to any indi-
viduals. They have been given the
machinery for governing their own
financial institutions and maintaining
control of them. So carefully is their
owership guarded, no matter who
buys stock in the federal land banks
eventually none but the farmers may
have voting power.
Yes, the federal farm loan act is
somewhat revolutionary. It upsets all
past practices in farm finance IT
puts the interests of the majority
above the interest of the few. It gives
the under dog a chance. It writes
Humanity First" across the ledger
of modern business.

WEALTH OF THE SOUTH.

With one-third the population Of tie
United States, the south gained one-half CT
the total crop gain of the United States for
1916.
The total value of the south's products
amounted to 81 $50, 100000, or only eight
per cent less than the total for the United
States in 1900 truly amazing showing
as the Manufacturers Record says, "indi-
cative Of what the future is to show in this
section
Especially noteworthy is the fact that
despite the high price, cotton represented
but 20 per cent of the total or not much
more than the grain production But short
decade ago and southern farmers would
talk, see, hear no crop other than the fleecy
staple; now we see them raising diversified
farm products amounting to s., 292, 10000,
or nearly three times the amount of the
cotton, and billion in livestock almost as
much as the cotton receipts.
The grain production amounted to ST ,283,-
100000, of which nearly billion was in
corn.

CORRECTING THE CAR sHoRrAGE,

tending over period of months, failure to
return cars, one of the principal factors in
the traffic problem, besides creating
shortage on some lines, so crowded others
with rolling stock that expedition in hand
ling freight was out of the question
The new order will benefit the south
primarily. Southern railroads are pro-
ducing lines-that is, they send out more
than they bring in, and this explains our
enforced lending to the north
Coal is expected Immediately to take a
tumble, but this is a matter that will con-
Germ other parts of the country, which have
been paying from $40 to $50 for the fuel
more than it will this, where coal has risen
very slightly. It will, however, mean a
more adequate supply of bunker for our
growing trade in this direction.

Newspapers and War

Every day hundreds of newspap
ers devote columns of news matter
and editorial comment to- the nationa
welfare work. When a newspaper
gives away its space it gives away
something which costs it real money
1t is giving today much greater per
centage Of its energy and resources
than is any other industry or business
in America. Without publicity Secre-
tary McAdoo would find the liberty
loan dismal failure.
At this juncture in the nations life
no other single agency in our republic
is more soIidly united for its welfare
than the newspapers. No other agen-
cy compares with it in the mighty task
of soIidifying public sentiment behind
the president and the flag.
At such time in such crisis it
rises to the magnitude of crime for
any congressman to talk of harassing
the publishers with onerous postal
rates that are in no way war tax. To
strike down the very thing which is
our country's strongest weapon in
fighting freedoms war would require
a degree of asininity which we cannot
believe exists even in Washington
