WELLS HAS VISION.

4 There ii no more Independent writ.
er today than the Englishman, H. G.
Wells. Every time he takes his pen
in hand he writes something that
stimulates to thought, if not to bitter
discussion. Just at present novel
Of is is being issued in serial form
thHNts bound to provoke much argu-
mx ion both sides of the Atlantic.
It,#will do so especially in England,
where, despite it's essential democ-
racy, the country still retains the
gilded tigurehead of kingship and
where, despite religious tolerance,
the established church still retains
its great power and privileges.
For Wells is proclaiming in this
new piece of fiction that out OF this
war will come an era of republics
and an age of religion that will tran
scend the narrow confines of creed.
Wells tried to project himself into
space and view this, our world, from
afar. In this frame of mind he is
optimist rather than pessimist. He
sees an end to kings and thrones. No
more will few dynasts be able to
say whether the world shall be plung-
ed into bloody war or remain in bless
ed peace. The peoples will take unto
themselves the power and the govern
ment
In the same way, he has a vision
of what is coming in the religious
field. There will not be less belief in
God, but more. However, he ad
vances the theory that the new belief
in God will not allow itself to be con.
fined by sects and creeds. 1t will be
something bigger, something broader,
something more tolerant, something
with more of the spirit of the Christ
in it than anything we have known
since Jesus ceased to preach in the
Holy Land.
Coming from a man who was once
rated as an agnostic, coming from
man stirred to his deeps by the awful
world-tragedy Of which he is an un-
happy witness, this message is sure
to be the theme of many an angry
sermon.
But Wells will be happy. He will
have stirred men to think and that
after all is the greatest duty of the
writer who cares more about prog
ress of the world than the size of his
own bank account.

solves FARM PROBLEM
Alaska Has Successful Cooper
alive Marketing System.
Uncle Sans Engineering comm'ssIo"
Evolves Plan 70 Bring Grower
- and Buyer Tasethsr,4t

Uncle Sam has made q TRIAL OF q
cooperative marketing system In the
far northern territory, Of Alaska, and
it is said that it has proved great
success. The system was evolved by
the land and industrial department OF
the Alaskan engineering commission.
b As + q result, 1t is declared that the
farmers of Alaska have no difficulty
in marketing their produce, as mar
kets are assured In advance for every
particle Of food that can be raised.
AT the beginning Of the season, there
liz Is sent to each farmer u blank form,
containing a llist Of question:, & for him
to answer First, he is Iaskkffd for a
description Of his land, and fof, Z state
ment showing the acreage under cul-
tivatiOn. ~ =
Then follows a long list Of products,
both farm and stock, with blank spaces
where the farmer fills in his report on
the crops he expects to raise. Here
he states how much of the crop he
will sell, when it will be ready for
market, and how much he expects to
get per pound, per bushel or per ton.
In addition, other questions are
asked. How far is your farm from
water transportation? How far is 1t
from the line of the government rail-
rOad2 How far from the nearest town
where, your produce can be sold1
How. can you get your produce to
market?. \ Have you any prospect Of
being able to market all you can pro-
duce, If so, where? What are your
crop prospects this year? Will the
crops In your vicinity be early or late?
Are you in need of road to enable
you to haul your produce to market;
if so, state how many miles of such
road, and to what point 1t should be
built?
Corresponding information is asked
from merchants and dealers. They
are sent lists of supplies, and natter
the name of the product they al In
the quantity desired, the place and
date of delivery, and the average price
now paid for goods delivered at the
store.
Through this system, the grower il

ed most to keep it from starvation, to
keep up its munitions supply and
clothe its troops, have been obtained
from this country. They have been
secured through the neutral tunnels.
Even casual study of the exports
of this country to the neutrals close
to Germany will reveal the facts
with startling clearness
For instance, Denmark in 1918 took
4l5,479 bushels of our wheat and in
1915 took 2,754,74S-nearly seven
times as much. Holland took 1882.
900 in 1913 and in 1915 took 1851.
992-more than double
In 1913 Denmark took 1OS,515 bush
els OF our rye. In 1916 she took
2,O47 ,562-nearly 20 times as much.
In 1913 Holland took 6,7S8 pounds
of brass in bars, plates and sheets.
In 1916 it took 1,95O,943-over 25O
times as much.
In 1913 Sweden took 9,O80,914
pounds of our copper. In 1915 she
took 1885, 5O4-nearly four times
as much
In 1913 Switzerland tok 1859
pounds Of leather. In 1916 she took
1,553,936, and all other neutrals took
similar large quantities.
In 1913 Norway took $4,743 worth
OF miscellaneous chemicals. In 1916
! she took $35O,SO6 worth.
The figures cited for the selected
individual countries are typical of all
these neutrals. Allowing for the fact
that these countries were cut off from
Russian and Argentine wheat, from
Russian leather, from German chem
icals and from European brass and
copper supplies, allowing for the fact
that they, therefore, turned to Amer
lea to make up their defcit-there

Some consideration should be given
TO the effect that the change in loco
motion will make upon the physique Of
the people; for even the farmers are
now using the automobile, and the
horse is used for little but draft pur-
poses. Will not the race become lax
and nerveless that Tolls upon soft cush-
ions, protected in every way from the
hard joltings of the road? More and
more, machinery Is brought into serv-
ice, and less and less physical exertion
is required in the carrying on Of open
air occupations. Man touches a but
ton, and a gas engine does the rest.
This makes things easier; but the
question is whether it confers an actual
benefit in the end.-Mobile Register.
