 The girls behind the counter were speculating last Saturday afternoon regarding the raising of the fund to $200 by next Saturday when the first draft will be sent to purchase the tobacco with the fund raised through the generosity of The Elm pire's readers. Well, this morning when they had totaled the amount up they were jubiliant and believe that possibly the first draft will be nearer $250 than $200. The girls, figuring like all of their sax, dope it out that money is scarce just be- fore pay days or at the end of the month. We'll that may be so-but there are yet many jingles left down in the socks of many as is evidenced by the started on the last week before the usual pay days.

The business OF gagging the news

Lincoln did not ask congress to make

they should give Woodrow Wilson pow

NATIONAL PROHIBITION.
[Successful Farming.l


Before this issue gets into the hands
OF our readers We may have national
prohibition as war measure. It is folly
TO be crying conservation Of food, and
production of larger cropS while we
are allowing s145,OO0.0o0 worth Of
grain, equal TO 100000 loaves of
bread day, to be made into liquors
that in no way can be considered a
food product or necessity. On the other
hand the alcohol made into liquors is
much needed in the manufacture Of
smokeless powder-the only kind used
in warfare.
1t takes a barrel of alcohol to make
enough powder to fire on big cannon
shot, In war we can do without liquors
but we can't do without powder We
need not close the distilleries. in fact
these should be largely increased, and
the denatured alcohol law should make
1t possible to easily utilize waste farm
products in the manufacture of alcohol.
Alcohol is necessity in mechanics
arts and sciences. and should be avail
able for running autos and gas engines
so there need be no closing of dis
tiiieries but its use as a drink should
be prohibited

IT'S ALL RIGHT YET.

right yet. Anyhow. so the big farmer

mediately after corn comes I'D. he ex-
planned. corn is likely to put in time
growing tall and neglect to put out
enough roots. This year it is staying
indoors and looking after the root de-
tail. A few days of good, warm
weather soon and corn will send I'D
its stalks like the bean stalk of the
nursery tale, and have the foundation
TO support and feed all that grows
above ground. That's what the farmer
said-and he ought to know. The thing
that worried him was where and how
to get feeding cattle cheap enough to
make profit feeding the high priced
corn that he is certain will mature.
Crops along the railroads promise
we'll So the travellers say, so the re-
ports indicate. Corn is maybe ten days
late, but what's that when the sun
shine falls hot On the steaming black
soil Of Iowa and the wind stays in the
southwest? So in South Dakota and
other neighbor states. South Dakota
reports the best crop prospects in
years, increased acreage of corn and
vastly increased acreage Of navy beans

What this corn country wants and
needs right now is couple Of weeks
Of good, hot, sUnshiny weather-not
too hot, but hot enough. Give US that
and Europe may nibble for months at
the edges of the crops without making
any desperate hole in the main cheese.

questions OF the higher international
strategy Of the war. These questions
are of the utmost Importance. 1t was
ignorance Of them on the part OF the
men in charge for the allies that pref
ty nearly wrecked the democratic

The president has decided against
sending Roosevelt to France with the
first expeditionary force. But that ought
not to prevent using him in some other
capacity with little delay.
Obviously, after the president has re-
fused to give him an army commission
it would be improper for him to Accept
4 commission from the governor OF I'M
state. In declining his offer to 80 TO
France Mr. Wilson referred to his great
qualities, but failed to suggest how they
might be used. That leaves Roosevelt
with nothing to do.
Other distinguished private, citizens
have been summoned to serve the coun-
try in important capacities; men like
Daniel willard. julius Rosenwald,
Samuel Gompers. Howard Coffin. on the
advisory commission of the council for
national defense; H. p. Dawson at the
head Of the Red Cross; Elihu Root At
the head of the Russian commission.

NIT anything to deter him from making

R.ar or Rrsad !?

A great deal Of American grain and
labor goes into the manufacture OF use
less and harmful alcoholic liquor. Pop
ulation considered. great deal more
is wasted in the manufacture OF alco-
holic liquor in Great Britain. Lloyd
George is quoted as saying recently
that England is fighting two enemies
Germany and drink. He yentured the
Judgment that OF the two. the worse
is drink.
Lloyd George doesn't wipe out the
waste of drink in Great Britain for two
reasons. The first Is that host OF
powerful lords and bishops and MEM
bers Of parliament and capitalists are
in the liquor business. They might
prefer upsetting the government to
having their liquor investments upset
There are plans TO surmount that by
buying them out. That brings us to
the second reason. The Britisher is
devoted to his beer. Deprive MIN Of
it. and there's no telling what he would
do. And there's no way to buy out
an appetite.
Yes, there Is one. Given dead
choice between beer and bread. and
most would choose bread. This sug-
gests great possibility for the United
States. Suppose the United States
should first abolish it's own waste Of
food grains in liquor manufacture.
Then suppose it said to England: Look
here. we are not growing grain to make
alcohol for ourselves to get drunk with.
neither are we going to stint ourselves
to supply you with grain whereby to
tank up your people"
Would Lloyd George be only too hap
py to have the chance to say then to
his beer-making bishops and his beer
drinking populace: America won't
stand for any more waste of its good
grain in liquor. It is beer or bread
for u.s." And Immediately England
would be stronger by the strength Of
two or three goodly armies the war
that much nearer won. Under that
pressure Great Brian would fee
obliged to submit

height Of the ridiculous for our far

that while he is very loyal, it is his

In the Congo. England blew Sepoys
from the muzzles Of their guns and
Russia was despotism. Which is all
true. But this war is not being
fought on the issues or on the cussed-
ness OF wars of former times. Il
means that the German war lords
must be curbed and that the German
people themselves shall be freed of

peace with themselves, and that Ger
many's lust for power, for extended
borders and agressiveness over her
weaker neighbors shall be stopped

the Stars and Stripes are taken to

people to the Stars and Stripes than

and there are some that ought to be

SO far the administration has found
nc way to permit fhe nation to avail
itself OF the enormous energy, enthus-

For seven years he was at the head

the problems Of the administration. He
knows the personnel of the depart
ments; His military experience in Cuba
gave him an insight into the military
aspects Of the situation, and he has
followed the progress Of the war with
an understanding that would qualify
him for high executive position.
One aspect Of the situation which he
is particularly qualified to deal with is
that OF foreign policy. Thronshont his
