Valuable Asset

The most valuable asset any man
can acquire is credit. The ability to
borrow money to expand ones bust
ness, or to make a profitable invest
ment, is worth far more than an in
herited fortune. The most progress
sive men in every community, the
men who are doing things, the men
Of character and standing, are usual
ly in debt. They are able to be in
debt, because people have confidence
in them, and because they can afford
to owe money. Young men should
strain every nerve to establish and
maintain credit. If they fail to do
so, they will never make any sub.
stantial success. - Lakeland Tele

The first American cartoon of
Uncle Sam was Bellows, published in
the New York Lantern of March 10,
1852. 1t showed Uncle Sam, without
the whiskers, but with striped trou-
sers.
Thomas Mast in Harper's Weekly,
it is believed, was the first cartoonist
to draw Uncle Sam with whiskers
and starred vest, besides striped
trousers and high collar. Since then
Uncle Sam has changed very little
in caricature.

Our Navy and Germanv's-

The United States navy fought and
worsted the navies Of Great Britain
and France. 1t broke up the Barbary
pirates. It cleared the pirates out Of
the West Indies. It helped to destroy
the slave trade. 1t opened Japan to
the world. It was the chief factor in
saving the union. It freed Cuba and
took the Philippine Islands from
Spain. Time and time again has it
carried rescue to the despairing and
bread to the starving. But it never
sunk an anarmed passenger liner nor
set women adrift in open boats to
suffer and die on the trackless sea-

The SCRATCH PAD
BY THOMAS EWING DAsNEY.

The Hon. Bill Taft would not make |
a very good cavalryman, but he
couldn't be surpassed as fortiica-
tions.
Formerly a mans extravaganza
was measured by lobster and wine
suppers; but their place has now been
taken by potatoes and onions.
Germany says the retirement along
the Ancre is entirely voluntary on
her part. Which is merely the leu
tonic way of deciding to beat it while
the beating was good.
"The female of the species is more
deadly than the malc-even in NAME"
quoth the Turks as they fled from
Kut-el-Amara with General Maude in
hot persuit.
When Vardaman gets back home,
he will have to do a lot of explaining
to show why Mississippi alone of the
entire South should be mentioned in
the same breath with disloyalty.
With Russia dry, France almost
teetotle, England's beer curtailed
100000 barrels, and Holland
threatening to cut the dikes and put
the country under six feet of water,
there isn't much left for Germany to
fight for.
| That clinking sound is the coJlec-
ton being taken up to buy Senator
LaFollette a maxim silencer; and
that grinding noice is the political
axe that is being sarpeneG for those
stalwart German patriats, Vardaman
of Mississippi, and Gumshoe/ Bill
Stone of Missouri.
Shameful disgraceful, detesta-
BILE" are the epithets applied to Stone
and LaFollette by the New York
Times. But they are such faint
shadows of the fact that one feels
like taking 4 mans chance in another
language in the hope of discovering
some word that will fit the crime
with the comfortable fnality of a
guillotine.

Fame for Florida

Florida could make a great name

Food Control and Farmers.

OF all Americans who have reason to welcome
Government supervision of food markets at this
juncture, none has better than the farmer,
for with the one exception OF the consumer he has
suffered most at the hands of those INSCRIPTIONS
interests which it is President Wilson's purpose to
put down Flour has been selling at from FIVE
six dollars barrel more than could be justi-
fed by the highest price at which wheat actually
has sold this year by the highest price of wheat
plus liberal allowance for milling, shipping and
fair profits to everyone concerned. Who got that
excess Of five and six dollars a barrel, which
amounted In the aggregate to a tax of from fifty to
sixty million dollars month the American PEG,
pie? Not penny OF it reached the farmer. Not
penny OF it reached the legitimate manufacturer
merchant The whole huge extortton poured into
the pockets of the gamblers and monopolists.
1t is a true saying that the farmer raises food
and the speculator raises prices. AS long as farm
products in the hands of the grower specula-
Tors conspire to depress prices and them the har-
vests having been marketed, conspire to make
prices extortionate to the public. That sort of
thing is extremely injurious to the nation at any
time, but at this critical juncture it will prove
disastrous il it goes unchecked. Food control Iegs-
laion will protect the producer we'll as the con-
sumner against the enemy of them both and will
protect the cOuntry's interests against forces
sinister all the spies the HohenzoIlern could
place amongst us.

Stopping the German Leak

Government control of American exports will
be highly serviceable in helping this country TO
conserve it's supplies of food and other necessaries
and also in Tightening the blockade on Germany
In his proclamation fixing July Is as the date on
which the new law shall become operative, Presi-
dent Wilson succnctly states the policy to be fol-
lowed:
at is obviously the duty of the United
States" he says, "in Hberating any surplus
products over and above domestic
needs to consider first the necessities of all
the nations engaged in war against the Central
Empires. AS to neutral nations, however,
we also recognize our duty. The Govern
ment does not wish to hamper them. On the
contrary it wishes and intends, by all fair
and equitable means, to cooperate with them
in the difficult task of adding from our avail
able SURPRISES to their domestic supply
and OF meeting their pressing necessities.
In considering the deficits of food supplies
the Government means only to fulfill its OBJ
vious obligation to assure itself that neutrals
are outstanding their own resources and that
our supplies will not become available either
directly or indirectly, to feed the enemy
This reference to neutrals, while expressed in
a tone that is amicably soft and thoroughly sin
cere is filled nevertheless with iron significance.
For it means that those neutrals which persist in
re-exporting American goods to Germany will be
placed on the list of countries to which American
goods cannot be sent. Heretofore in spite of the
British blockade, great quantities of foodstuffs
and other basic commodities from the United
States have reached the Kaiser's domain by way
of Holland and Scandinavia. Henceforth all car
goes leaving our ports for those countries will be
scrutinized by Government authorities and if it is
found that the neutrals buying than
they need for their own consumption, an embargo
on further exports to them will be promptly ap-
piled Inasmuch the countries adjacent to
Germany are now dependent the United States
for large amounts of indispensable products it is
to be assumed that they will duly appreciate our
Governments position and cooperate accordingly.
In any event, the stream of American food and
other necessaries which has been tricklng into
Germany from neutral reservoirs will be stopped,
and the end OF the war brought that much nearer

READJUsTMENT OF
THE APPROPRIATION
OF NORMAL SCHOOL

The executive committee of the AL

DR.. e. o. Sisson, commissioner of edu-
cation; @. A. Axline, president Of the
normal, and Miss Refield, state super
intendent Of public instruction, in at
tendance The matter of readjusting
the apportionment the normal finally
received as result of legislative and
gu6ernatorial action, was settled.
The Albion normal received $4,000
for maintenance for the next two
years and $4,000 for a new dormltory.
1t was decided to proceed without
delay in the building of the dormitory.
This building will give needed relief
The maintenance appropriation was 30
switched az TO care for the needs of
the various departments and to in
clude the budget OF April 1.
Summer school will be held at the
normal from June 8 running for nine
weeks. Owing to the lack Of room
in the huildings tents will probably
have to be used to house some of the
teachers. The sumner school last year
was a success and II Is planned to
make the one held this year even
more so.
President. Axline is greatly pleased
over the result of the Southern Idaho
Interscholastic oratorical contest held
at Albion Friday evening which the
Albion normal won. Albion took first
