EAT FISH

AT fish is the latest recommen-
~ dation of the Federal food au-
thorities and the advice is
good from many standpoints.
By eating more fish we will con-
sumo less meat, and meat is one OF
the articles of food that must be
conserved if we are to come through
the war without great hardship. Be-
side, fish is cheap and, strangely
enough, the more we eat, generally
speaking, the lower the price will
be. This is because fishermen now
mainly depend for their market on
the Friday fish day. To be sure, fish
are eaten on other days, but Friday
is the one day OF the week when fish
replaces meat on the tables of thou
sands of households.
The supply of fish is almost un-
limited, yet fishermen must keep on
hand large and expensive organiza-
tions in order to provide immense
quantities of fish one day in the
week and a comparatively small
supply on other days. So, by using
more fish every day the overhead ex-
pense of the fish firms would be re-
duced and fish could be sold for less
than at present and at greater profit
to the dealer.
This is not mere theory; it is the
calculation of fishermen themselves.
But beyond it, we would be the bet
ter for larger ration of fish. in our
diet. We eat too much meat and
an all vegetable menu is not attrac-
tive to many people. Fish is the
happy mean. 1t is cheap and 1t can
be made cheaper. 1t is wholesome
and delicious.
Eat fish! The government has
given no better advice in all the
reams of food talks" it has issued
since the war began.

The Way to Independence
By Briggs

1t is estimated by Investigators into
such activities that as result of the
war gardens" in cities and small
towns, vegetable prices this year are
70 to 80 per cent. lower than they
they were last year. To that extent
the consumer supplied his own de-
mand-and that is the secret of in
dependence.
The consumer who is prepared to
take the hint and bend his will and
MS muscles to the task may further
reduce the cost of living by taking a
little place in the suburb where he
can have cow and chickens, in
addition to his vegetable garden.
Thus in time he can supply many OF
his own and his family's needs by
simple application of labor to land,
which operation the political econo-
mlsts tell us is the source of all
wealth. He will realize that man is
not by nature a parasite, but belongs
properly rooted in the soil from
which he derives sustenance by di-
rect means.
Modern life is complex because
men have made it artificial. Prob
ably three-fourths of every mans
labor is expended in the supplying
of artificial needs or requirements,
carefully built up by the herding of
people in cities. Those who value
independence enough to get it should
profit by the lesson of the war gar
dens. Chicago Daily News.

NO CONTROVERSY

10th President Grace and Sec
X retary Baker having denied
- that there is any difference be-
tween the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany and the government as to the
price of rails, the foolish story that
Schwab had refused to make rails
for the United States is set at rest.
1t was so little like the Schwab the
American people have learned to
love and respect that few persons
paid any great attention to it, being
positive that there must be a mis-
take somewhere. Such tales do much
harm and no good. Those who start
them should be searched out and
held up to public censure.
Schwab having offered his entire
plant to the government for war
purpose, it is not likely that he
would refuse a government order
without entering into negotiations
for an adjustment or compromise
satisfactory to both sides. Schwab
is entitled to q fair profit and the
government to fair prices, and it is
unlikely that either will be cheated
of it's just due.
To make a sensation of mere
business transaction of the kind only
gives comfort to the enemy, which
is looking with eager eyes for signs
of discord in this country.

blue wave being a super under a roll
of canvas.
"But the waves were here and
there threadbare. and suddenly a
wave ripped and a head bobbed up
in the midst of the heaving sea and
started around in bewildered fash
ion.

ence's filters with one stern glance.
IMAM overboard!' he yelled in
stentorian tones.
Then the> super, managing to
draw back his head through the hole

The Song My Paddle Sings

The Song My Paddle Sings
West wind, blow from your prairie
nest,
Blow from the mountains, blow from
the west.
The sail is idle, the sailor too;
o wind of the west. we wait for you!
Blow. blow.
l have wooed you so.
But never a favor you bestow.
You rock your cradle the hills be-
tween.
But scorn to notice my white lateen.
I stow the sail. unship the mast;
I wooed you long but my wooing's
past;
My paddle will lull you into rest
o drowsy wind of the drowsy west.
Sleep. sleep.
BY your mountain steep.
Or down where the prairie grasses
sweep!
Now fold in slumber your laggard
wings,
For soft is the song my paddle sings
August is laughing across the sky.
Laughing while paddle, canoe and l.
Drift, drift.
Where the hills uplift
On either SIDE OF the current swift
The river rolls in its rock bed;
My paddle is plying its way ahead
Dip dip.
While the waters flip
In foam as over their breast we slip
Be strong. paddle! be brave, canoe
The reckless waves you must plunge
into.
Reel. reel.
On your trembling keel,
But never a fear my craft will feel
We've raced the rapid, we're fai
ahead
The river slips through its silent bed
Sway, sway,
AS the bubbles spray
And fall in tinkling tunes away.
And up on the hills against the sky,
A fir tree rocking its lullaby,
Swings, swings,
Its emerald wings,
Swelling the song that my paddle
sings.

Sounding Brass

Both Chancellors Georg Michaelis
of Germany and Count Ottokar Ger
min Won Chudwitz of Austria have
risen to the fly which Lloyd George
cast them.
We have their answers to the
speech in which he called the maiden
address of Michaelis "a sanctuary of
shams," and 1t is inevitable that we
should subject them to a careful
analysis. Do they ring true? We
cannot think so. There is the sus-
picious clangor of sounding brass and
tinkling cymbal in them both. 1t
certainly is a mystery, and 1t would
seem an impossibility ((but for a
world-old eXperiencSJ that we pos
sess the power of distinguishing
hollow notes in the most skillfully
bombastic language. In the same
way we detect the falsity of tone
when q counterfeit coin is rung upon
the counter. We may not be able
to explain how" but we cannot be
deceived.
In the address of the German
there are TOO many words for the
thoughts. There are useless repe-
titions. The progress of the argu-
ment is circuitous and contradictory
His mental footprints remind us OF
those chickens in a dooryard after a
rail- or snow, DeglnninR nowhere and
leading no whittier. He seems to
be covering up his tracks. like a
| fugitive criminal who fears the scent
of the bloodhounds
AS for the Austrian. he is over
bold. His tone of confidence is far
! too slashing and vehement. He is
| too certain that the Teuton allies
cannot be whipped. His purpose to
| fight to ''the last extremity" is too
vainglorious. He is altogether toe
willing to ignore the question as to
who started the war. He is talking
through his hat, in other words.
1t may seem a fragile basis to
! found hope of victory upon-those
hollow tones in the words of the two
great chancellors-bu 1t is not sell
dom that even in the greatest pos
sible events a deeper and more accu-
rate knowledge may be gained from
the tone of a voice or the spiritual
quality of letter than from either
fact or figures.
We have been listening for this
brassy sound. Faint indications of il
| have been heard before-little jar
ring notes, faint quavers. tiny dis
sonances cacophanous tones-but
now they are loud and clear and
unmistakable. They are the tones
which sounding brass and tinkling
cymbals always scatter on the star
tied air.
The chancellors are whistling down
the lwind.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Confidence in Russia

There are two drives on" said
Prince Lvoff recently to a diplomatist
at Petrograd. "One against the Rus
slams in Ga!icia and one against the
Germans at Petrograd, and that
against the Germans is the most i'm
portant for Russia" Nicholas Tchai-
kowsky. famous revolutionist, well
known in the United States, is quoted
by Mr.. Herman Bernstein in a
special cable dispatch to the Herald
to-day as bearing testimony to the
completeness of Russia's victory over
Germans ut Petrograd. The Levin
lists, he explained, are completely
crushed. MIR. Bernstein gives details
of the inglorious escape from the
scenes of his activity of the notorious
agent of Prussianism who sought to
bring the Russian people into q state
of vassalage to the kaiser.
Mr.. Tchaikowsky is optimistic
over the outlook. THE Russian
people having endured and suffered
long will be able to survive the two
great problems now confronting
them-revolution and war 1t is
interesting to note that this famous
revolutionist sees the dangers in
volved in some of the proposals put
forward in the name of revolution.
Just now the minister of agriculture
in the provisional government, Mr..
Tchernoff, is a bone of contention.
BY promises, apparently of the rain
bow kind, Mr.. Tchernoff has made
strong appeal to the peasantry of the
land, but Mr.. Tchaikowsky says of
his project, Il believe it would land
Russia in bankruptcy"
There is no tendency on the part
of the leaders quoted by Mr.. Bern
stein in his cabled dispatches to the
Herald to minimize the seriousness
of the problems which confront the
Russian people. All the more sig
nifcant, therefore, is their confidence
that those problems will be solved
and that Russia will rise stronger
than ever-New York Herald.

a DELICATE SITUATION

TT looks as though Kingdom
Gould, the millionaire who
- claims exemption because he
has a wife to support" has brought
down upon all well-to-do husbands
specific non-eXemption instructions
of the War Department. No sooner
does he ask to be relieved of war
duties because of family respopsi-
biIities" than the federal authorities
come out with the statement that
husbands whose wives are not ac-
tually dependent upon them for sup
port, or who have parents who Of
fer to look after them, will not be
exempted from army duty because
they are married.
1t is a peculiarly delicate position
into which many personally poor
young men of prospective means or
who have married the daughters of
wealthy parents are foiled by this
order. 1t is the pride of any man
worth his salt that he is earning his
own way and that he does not look
d TO parental assis lance for aid in
keeping his family. 1t will go hard
with such to say to father or fa-
ther-in-law: Here, you look after
wife and family; I'm going to war"
Then there is the wife's side of it,
too. Not all wives are like the West
ern woman who told a reporter who
came to notify her husband that he
was the first man drafted in his dis
trict:
My husband isn't strong, maybe
he is not strong enough to be a
soldier, but il they will take him
! will do nothing to get him free.
We are poor, just these little
rooms are all we have, and Joe is
often out of work. But | can make
clothing and could take care of
the two girls IL their father went
to war. It's a good war. Joe told
me all about it. He'll go If they
want him.
Nor is 1t easy for the girl who has
cut home ties and with her husband
started out to found a household OF
her own to go back to live upon the
bounty of her parents or her par
ents-in-law.
There are difficult days ahead for
the young people who come under
this recent ruling.

KEEPING YOUNG

THE other day Chicago wheat
king" retired with his several
million dollars, telling the re-
porters as he tore down the sign be-
fore his office door that "henceforth
he would do nothing, absolutely
nothing; never had any chance tc
loaf as a boy and now I'm goine
to have my youth before I get to be
too old"
Any man who feels like that is old
already. The only way to keep young
is to never tire of doing things. The
man who wants to loaf is as aged
as a fossil dodo, and of just as much
use in the world.
There is a philosophy worth while
and a lesson in point, not only fol
our Chicago friend, but for all of us
in what George K. Chesterton wrote
when he penned these lines:
Whatever makes men feel old
is mean-an empire or a skinhint
shop. Whatever makes men feel
young is great--a great war or a
love story. And in the darkest of
the books of God there is written
a truth that is also a riddle. It
is of the new things that men tire
of fashions and proposals. and
imrroveme and change. 1t is
the old things that startle and
fntoNtcate. 1t is the old things
that are young. :. We who
do the old things are fed by Ma
ture with a perpetual infancy. No
man who is In love thinks that
any one has been in love before.
No woman who has a child thinks
there have been such things as
children. No people that fight for
their own city are haunted with
the burden of the broken empires,
