The following article by Nathan C.
Schaeffer, state superintendent of
public instruction in Pennsylvania, has
been submitted for publication by a
member of the local teachers fedora
ton:
Has the time not come to draw at
tention to the fact that the American
people are passing through the exper-
fence Of European nations in the days
of Cortez and Pizarro?
Through the conquest of Mexico and
Peru immense treasures of gold were
distributed throughout Europe
The buying power of the gold unit
was reduced; the cost of living was
increased; the common people did not
know what was pinching them; and
all who were earning wages and sal
aries were in distress because their
income did not grow with the increas-
ing price of the necessaries of life
Today, this country is passing
through a period of unparalleled pros
perity. Gold in immense quantities
has flowed in our land from the mines
of Cripple CreeKand Klondike.
The Allies have sent their gold to
guarantee the loans which have been
made through our banking houses.
But the gold has not found its way
into the purses of the teachers.
The scarcity of labor has caused a
rise in the wages of the workers
whilst the salaries of the teachers
have remained stationary.

President Wilson'S Message

The chief executive has presented the issues
of war TO the American people in cool and dis
passionate address. Not the United States, but
Germany provoked, sought and melted to war.
This country wanted to remain at peace, a
powerful neutral willing to relieve the suffering
caused by the beligerents, but Germany by ruth
less submarine warfare in violation of interna-
tional law, brought danger and death to our cti-
zens on the high seas, and through intrigue and
plots brought disturbance and destruction to
American industries and American enterprises.
The president bases his whole contention on
the aggressive attitude of Germany toward the
United States, and shows that even complacent
neutral may be goaded into action and forced to
go to war to sustain national honor and dignity.
The patriot who has read the recent disclos-
ures of Germany's intrigues in the United States,
her repeated attempts to violate the neutrality
laws, her shameless overtures to Mexico is forced
by the very logic of these events to conclude that
war coltlG be the only result. go
The United States is going into this war not
for conquest or glory, not for indemnity or terri
tory. President Wilson has put our purpose on
the high plane of political ideals. The United
States does not want the German people wiped
out says the president, but it wants autocracy,
the secret decisions of ruling class and house,
destroyed Germany is to be left not a conquered
and subdued country but nation knowing no
autocratic king and ruler, and possessing dem
ocratic form of government in which the PEOPLE
will rule supreme.
We believe that this is lofty statement and
in keeping with the ideals of our Republic. Mr.
Wilson's message is a state paper worthy of the
great nation whose chief executive he u.s. We
find in it the sentiments Of people, the reter
alton of our principles, the high purpose of
great nation to help disseminate democracy and
eradicate autocracy

SMALL ECONOMIES
FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

We have formed a habit of depend
ing too much upon canned goods,
which are comparatively expensive
because of being composed in a large
measure of water. In the purchlqGg
of fruits for home use, the housewife
can make some economies by pur-
chasing dried fruits of various kinds.
Many housewives this year did net
can much fruit for themselves. The
price of fruit was high and the price
of sugar was unusually high. Unless
the home drying of fruit was under
taken the problem OF supplying fruit
will be an acute one.
Valuable friends to the economical
and wise housekeeper are ralsins,
dates, figs, prunes, and all dried
fruits. Dried peaches, apricots, ap>
pies and pears are inexpensive from
the food value standpoint.
1t is interesting to note also that
dried fruits can be used in combina-
ton with cereals and in puddin3s in
ways that are much more satisfactory
than when using fresh or canned
fruits.
Men who take long Journeys often
carry packages of raisins with them
as they are a ready and concentrated
form of nourishment and energy.
They can be added to rice, bread, tap
ioca, and milk Give the children raj
sins instead of candy.
Prunes and figs especially have a
decided laxative effect. They are best
stewed or eaten raw. If you find that
your dates and figs are too hard they
may be softened and thus made more
palatable by pouring boiling water
over them.
Wheat cereal, oatmeal, farina
mush, etc, are delicious if dates or
figs are stirred into them before
serving. Cereals will be relished if
dried fruit is added to make them
more attractive and palatable.-EX-

GOOD ROADS AND STREETS
An Unreasonable Asset to Any
Farm

The progressiveness of a country
can most accurately be measured by
the roads. Good roads at all seasons
OF the year are an unreasonable as
set to every farm served by them.
This means that the crop can be mar
keted when prices are best 1t like
wise makes possible the utilization
of the teams for general hauling at
a time when they are usually idle.
In addition to assisting in the mar
keting problem, good roads are doing
more to solve the rural social prob
lem than all other factors combined,
With communication between farms
made easy by good roads and com
munication with rural social centers
made easy in the same way. the
problem of country folk getting to-
gether has been lessened by a great
deal. No longer is there any need
for isolation in country districts,
The Improvement of the road way
must mean more than the grade,
drainage and surface. 1t must mean
continual patrolng and keeping the
road in good repair
The Improvement of the road way
should include also the roadsides and
road paintings In many districts
noXious weeds and destructive pests
are fought in the fields and are I'M
molested along the rOadsides. If eli
NAUTICAL conditions will permit the
planting of nut trees along the road
side no better investment can be
made to the adjoining farms.
If roadside tree planting is not
feasible, then by all means utilize the
land with a clover, alfalfa or other
hay crop and make that land as prof
fable as the balance OF the land. 1t
has been said that high priced lands
attract highly successful farmers,
while low priced lands mean many
failures.
