A large increase in the acreage Of
rye should take place in the cotton belt
this year, the United States depart
lment of agriculture advises. There
are many good reasons for this recon-
imendation. Rye will succeed on the
sandy lands of the coastal plain where
wheat is not adapted. It requires less
FERTILIZER than wheat. 1t IS more hardy
than oats. Because of the heavy win
iter-killing of oats last winter there will
not be sufficient seed in many locali-
ties for the usual oat crop. Under this
lcondition rye should be sown in place
Iof oats Rye should be used to con-
siderable extent this year to replace
the leguminous winter cover crops, es-
ipecialiy crimson clover and hairy
!vetch, the seed of which is very high
in price at this time. Rye also will
furnish bread grain In localities
where wheat cannot be grown, which
Inv the installation of small mills can
be utilized for food in various COM
Imodities.
Varieties Adapted to Region.
In increasing the acreage of rye In
the southern part of the cotton belt
,care must be taken to secure vari-
,etv that Is adapted to conditions that
exist there. Varieties adapted to the
northern states or even varieties adapt
ed TO the northern part Of the cot
ron belt are not desirable for
,sowinr in the coastal plain. There
,are. however, strains Of rye grown
llocallv and known by several local
names. such as South Georgia rye, and
Florida black-seeded rye, which are
we'll adapted in the coastal plain. The
,Abruzzes variety grown very generally
in the cotton belt is also an excellent
sort for the coastal plain. The Abruz-
zas on account Of its rapid and vigor-
ons growth, is very valuable for cover
cron nurposes in addition to its value
os n grain crop. The Abruzzes, in
addition to being adapted to the coast
al plain, is also adapted to conditions
anywhere in the cotton belt.

The other day lady was knocked

GAINING IMPETUS.

The brilliant victory of the suf-
frage forces in the recent election in
New York state is significant in that
it portends the not far distant future
when the Federal constitution will
De amended to permit women to
cast ballot, and thereby give them
recognition to which, they have long
been entitled.
The justice of the demands of the
equal rights opponents is being
shown now more than at probably
any other time because of the ext
gencies of war, which require that
the women must bear their share of
the burdens and also take their
places in many industries to provide
the sinews for the successful con-
duct of the war.
When the voters declare them
selves as they did in New York, the
representatives of the people in con-
gress will not long hesitate to deter
mine which way the popular sentt-
ment on this question is drifting.

TODAY.

We dream bright dreams Of tomor-
row;
Our castles are built in the air;
And with hues sublime, of the coming
time,
We paint US a picture fair.
But we never stop to consider
That the future flies away,
And there is naught into being brought
Unless it is wrought today
To the cherished haunts of the old
time
Our eyes are backward cast.
And sweet voice calls through Mem
ory's halls =
To WOO US unto the past
But, however dear are the visions,
We do not dare to stay:
From out Of the gone we must
move on
To the duties that call today.
We've the "now" in which to labor!
We've the ''now" in which to be!
And the "now'AAlone we can call our
own
Throughout all eternity.
The past and the future are shadows.
But the present is ours for aye.
To us it's given to build our heaven
In the kingdom of today.

advantage Of labor's loyalty to
strengthen his position against his
men. There must be absolute fair
dealing among all. President Will
son put it very pat when he said at
Buffalo: 1--WE are, all OF the same
clay and spirit, and we can get to-
gether II we desire to. get together.
Let us show ourselves Americans by
showing that we do not want to 60
off in separate camps or groups by
ourselves, but that we want to CO.
operate with all other groups in a
common enterprise, which is to re-
lease the spirit of the world from
bondage"
II we approach every internal
problem now confronting us in the
right spirit, with the thought fore
most in our minds that our country
comes first, there will be such bond
of unity in America that will result
in bringing the war to a successful
and early conclusion.
President Wilson's appeal to Am
erican labor and his presence at the
annual convention of the American
Federation of Labor indicate that he
is not only firmly attached to the
principles of true democracy, but
that he possesses the democratic
spirit and a democratic personality
worthy of the first man in the world.

THRoUGH THE PERISCOPlE:

The State Public Safety commission
is surely doing effective work in. the
Twin Cities toward lowering and
stabtlizing the prices of some food
stuffs. Why not extend these bene-
fits to the other sections Of the state I?
Duluth IS fertile field for such acti-
vities
Potatoes valued at five million dol
lars are said to have been spoiled by
frost largely because no cars were
available. And yet the people toler-
ate distributing system which per-
mits such conditions to exist, and the
daily newspapers continue to accuse
the farmers Of boarding and try to
blame them for the high prices.
The Great Lakes Transit company
recently made application to the in
terstate commerce commission for ar
increase in the rates on package
freight. And yet this company re-
fuses to grant a small wage increase
to the local freight handlers.
Plentiful supplies of turkeys are
available for the Thanksgiving mar
ket, says the U. S. Food Administra-
ton, If the large stock Of turkeys
now in cold storage is placed Oh sale. -
But will they?
AS war measure to prevent dyna-
mite plots, any person in this coun-
try found with explosives in his pos
session after Nov. IS, and who does
not have a license issued by the Fed
eral government showing for what
purpose the explosives are to be used,
will be arrested and fined not exceed

The supreme court of the District
of Columbia has issued an order re-
curing Postmaster General Burleson
to show cause why the order debar-

George M. Peterson, agent of the
Retail Merchants association, de-
clares that the farmers should put

prefer the Stacker to the bunk pa
triot.
For at least the Stacker is frankly
lodging his duty, while the bunk pa
triot is trying to get by with loud
promise and no performance.
Who is the bunk patriot?
He is the corner grocer who Grapes
the flag all over the front of his shop
and puts up his prices 50 per cent
ION account of the war;; the restau-
rant keeper who serves Hoover's war
rations at enhanced schedules; the
business man who subscribes to two
Liberty bonds and gets it back imme-
diately with 200 per cent added from
the public he is supposed to serve;
the landlord who sends out notices
of increased rents on paper with an
embossed flag in the corner.
He is the employer who talks about
the "disloyal and unpatriotic work.
man" that strikes for another dollar a
day to meet increased cost Of living
due to the activities of other bunk
patriots, and in the next breath de-
nounces the confiscatory and socialis-
tic policy of taking ten per cent of his
extra war profits to carry on the war.
He is the banker, the financier, the
money lender who cheers for our boys
, in khaki and forecloses notes and
mortgages on the families they have
left behind.
He is any and every member of the
tribe of 'll-get-mine"-and when
the real patriots who are suffering
and sacrificing and toiling and fight
ing to win this war for democracy and
decency find time to attend to him
he's going to ''get his with compound
interest and a bonus. When that glad
period arrives the rest of us will be
present to look on approvingly and to

COMING DOWN.

Fresno Labor News: According to
an announcement made by officials of
the government, the working man is
going to buy bread at a reasonable
price.
Investigations proved that the one
pound loaf which sold for ten cents.
actually cost 4.12 cents. The rest of
the ten cents was charged to over
head expenses and excess profit.
Government supervision will prob
ably mean that for ten cents the
working man will get a twenty ounce
loaf. The bakers claim that the high
cost Of flour and wages forces them
to sell the small loaf for ten cents.
but it is doubtful If they can get
away with it when the government
says not.
The prices computed were COM
puted with flour at the top price, and,
as we happen to know that the bak-
ers' union is not demanding an ex-
cessive wage. it would seem as if the
baking interests had been doing a lit
tie gouging on the side. Some Of these
days these war profireers are going to
be handed an awful jolt, and they will
find they have few friends among the
working people.

WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY.
BALANCED EDUCATION.

Milwaukee Daily News: Opponents
of tho child labor law--aEd strange
it may seem there are still many per-
sons who idly fear. child protection
may devolve into child .spoiling-de-
clare that child only playing and
studying" until it finishes high school
is wasting time.
These persons consider that a har-
dening process, helping its parents on
the farm and doing Chores in gen.
eral, build up sound character. They
quote the rail splitting childhood Of
the great Lincoln. They fear soft
ened generation will come from the
greater consideration for the individ-
ual claim of the child today.
The mistake is chiefly that only
one side Of the question is seen. A
particular instance of over-indulged
childhood visualized in a small COM
munity gives rise to these pessinistic
fears.
AS matter of fact. the child who is
really we'll brought up co-operates
with his parents all along, not in terms
of dreary duty, but because it is con-
sidered the height Of desirability to a
normal child to be entrusted with
some small household affairs bring
ing him into closer affinity with the
admired grownup dad or mother. 1t
is only the child nagged to his "duty''
who fails at his task, unless he has
been Woefully spoiled by having every
thing done for him and hence is I'M
responsive to the call of personal re-
sponsibility.
Balanced education calls for play,
for work at both public and high
school, but does not do away with the
small tasks of the home suitable to
the age of the child. The all around
child is likely to become the desir-
able citizen. In variety and labor lie
endurance and poise.
1t is the neglected child who is an
ultimate failure. The study Of the in
dividual life is as necessary or more
so in the child than in the adult. What
is suitable to one case is not therefore
obviously adapted to all. But in gen.
eral it is safe to assume that child
is on the right road where it is happy,
healthy and normal minded. And
child labor and unnatural activities
because tending to stunt its growth
and dwarf it's mental standards can
never attain this end. The ideal life
for the child as for the adult is mixed
sufficient home cooperation to make
it literally responsible member of
the family thus teaching it to under
stand something of its future duties
as a citizen.

AFTER THE REVOLUTION?

Llano Colonist: Much is now being
said about a prospective German
revolution. No doubt such a revolu-
ton is imminent, but it is a. revolution
against the crown and not in favor Of
the allies.
When this revolution comes, and
come it will, and soon, the world will
give sigh of relief thinking that
peace has come at last
But peace will not have come.
England will still insist that she IL
the proved mistress of the sea. She
will still be ambitious to extend her
colonial possession. She will still in
sist upon holding the Strait of Gibral-
tar, the Suez canal-the commercial
highway to the far east--and the

IN SPITE OF

The Mesaba Ore: John Purroy
Mitchell, big business candidate for
reelection as mayor of New York
city, was said (by the capitalistic
newspapers) to be one Of Americas
greatest living patriots, that it was
next door to treason to vote against
him, and yet the people of that town
elected a Tammany candidate by a
two-to-one vote over Mitchell, the
greatest plurality ever given a New
York city .mayorality candidates. It
- only too evident that the people Of
New York do not take = great deal of
stock in the spoutings Of the capitalis-
tic press. Like sentiment is growing,
rapidly, all over the United States.

CONSISTENCY!

The Mesaba Ore: How far off are
some of our Republican leaders from
being traitors to their country? Not
far. We find them opposing the VIII
son policies at every opportunity, and
yet the capitalistic newspapers, mostly
Of the Republican persuasion, continue
to- jump onto La Toilette. Townley,
Hillquit and other lesser lights that
serve as objects for attracting public
attention. The trouble with the Re-
publican leaders is that they are Re-
publicans before they are Americans,
and in the Wilson war policies they
can readily see the continuance of the
Wilson administration, and that is
what hurts. If it is wrong for one
man or set Of men to obstruct the
Wilson campaign, then it is wrong for
all of us, and the more intelligent the
offender the greater the crime.

SCOTT NEARING'S ARREST.

SCOTT HEARINGS ARREST.
If Scott Nearing and the rest of
his kind would spend as much time
in assisting this country and her al
lies to win the fight against Prus-
sianism as they are spending in adj
vancing their theories about the
sinister motives of big business in
bringing on the war, they would be
performing some real service for
mankind. If every indictment they
present were true it would still be
their duty to stand" behind the gov
eminent. What they say about the
cause of the war is largely guess.
The time is too hazardous to take
any chances on guesses.
Tried and true leaders of the work
ing classes who are as we'll informed
on political, social and economic
questions as is Prof. Nearing saw
early in the European conflict that
all liberty, social, political and in
trial,-would be destroyed should
Germany's military machine succeed
in overriding the world. These men
have cast their lot with the United
States. They are forgetting every
thing else but winning the war and
defeating Prussianism. Their 10y
atty to the country is placing them
in such position of advantage that
they will be able to command for
the working classes at the end of the
war the respect and consideration
due them. Their activity now in
behalf of the country will prevent
the reaction so much feared by the
pacifists.
The Labor World regrets that
Scott Nearing was arrested in Du-
luth last Monday evening. His
meeting was an orderly one. He
uttered no seditious language. He
was acting within his rights and he
violated no law. It ill becomes us
to resort to the police methods of a
Russian car to cram patriotism
down the threats of those of our peo-
pie who are slow to appreciate the
gravity of the present world situa-
ton. Such methods make it hard
for those who are earnestly trying to
solidify all the forces and groups in
Of
Meanings theories before the same
body of men with our message of
Humanity, Freedom and Democ-
racy," and every mothers son of
them will see the light. Every time
their peaceful and lawful meetings
are broken up by the police it gives
succor to the German thought within
the country. Let there be no more
of it here.
Our liberties at home must not be
entrusted to the police They have
no conception of them. Think of a
chief of police who refused to permit
Scott Nearing to take to his cell with
him a volume of "The New Free
DOM" He thought it was an I. w.
w. book, or one teaching the kind
of freedom to which our nation is
opposed, while its author is no less a
parsonage than Woodrow Wilson, the
greatest champion of freedom and
democracy in all the world. This
act of the chief was the climax of
his burlesque performance of last
Monday evening.
