WAR MAY CLOSE COLLEGES
Many Students Withdraw to Join
Army-Others for Farm Work.

In the face of denials from college
heads, it is persistently reported that
some of the colleges and universities
of the Northwest may have to curtail
their activities largely or close down
entirely next year, because of the
number of Withdrawals. The Wash
ington State college and the Univer-
sity of Idaho are two of the larger
schools seriously affected.
While the call to the army is pri-
marily the cause, hundreds also are
leaving to help on the farms. Farm
ers, unable to get enough help are
sending for their sons and their
daughters at school.
Washington State college is said
to be losing students at the rate OF
60 a day. Two hundred and fifty
three students have already with
drawn from the university Of Wash
ington to fill vacancies on farms and
in the Alaska canneries. Most OF
them are to work on farms or ranch.

SOUNDS
WARNING TO NATION
WAR "MEANS GRIM BUSINESS
HE SAYS-NOT YET
REALIZED.

A solemn warning to the country
of the bloodshed and vast expendi-
ture Of treasure that lies before the
United States through it's participa
ton in the world war was sounded by
President Wilson at the dedication of
the new 100000 national headquar-
ters of the American Red Cross at
Washington, D. S., late last Saturday
afternoon.
II believe that the American peo-
pie do not yet realize the sacrifice
and suffering that are before them.
We thought the scale of our Civil war
was unprecedented, but it now seems
insignificant in the light of the ex-
penditure of treasure and blood in
this great world war;" said the pres
ident.
''This War Grim Business"
"This is no war for spontaneous
impulse. This is no war for anna
tours. This war means grim business
on every side. And 1t is the mere
counsel of prudence that in our
philanthropic as we'll as in our fight
ing work we should act through the
instrumentalities already at hand and
already experienced in the tasks
which are going to be assigned them.
"This should be merely the ex-
preston of the practical genius of
America itself and I believe that the
practical genius of America will die
tate that the efforts in this war in
this particular field should be con-
centrated in experienced hands as
our efforts in other fields will be.
II say the heart of the country is
in this war because it would not
have gone into it if it had not first
believed that here was an opportu-
nifty to express the character Of the
United States. We have gone in
with no special grievance Of our own,
because we have always said that we
were the friends and servants Of
mankind.
1--WE look for no profits. We look
for no advantage. We will accept no
advantage out of this war. We go
because we believe that the very
principles upon which the American
republic was founded are now at
stake and must be indicated. In
such a contest, therefore. we shall
not fail to respond to the call to
service that comes through the in
strumentality of this particular or
ganization."
War viii Unite tho Nation.
President Wilson also predicted
the war would serve ito make a
single people out of the great body
of those who call themselves Ameri-
cans"
A signal note or triumph rang In
his voice when he said, in conclu-
sion:
"The divisions which were pre-
dicted have not occurred and will
not occur. The spirit of this people
is already united and when effort
and suffering and saArince have COM

Old man people, listen. AS a
result of the one-crop system, here
is what we find in the south. The
average rural wealth per capita in
Tennessee is $3.50; Arkansas S325;
Mississippi $500; Alabama $3.50;
Georgia 1925, Kentucky $500,
North Carolina 1922, South Caro-
lima $40, and Louisiana 1886.
The average wealth per capita in
Iowa is s.. 1886, in Illinois ", 65a.
The average wealth per capita in
the United States if 1894.
Where does our money gof IL
linois and iowa are food produc-
ing states. We sell cotton. get
the money and spend it in Illinois
and Iowa for food and feed for
man and animal. So you see
where the money goes
The farms in the south produce
more money per acre than the
farms of Iowa. But we don't
bank that money at home. We
are not economically self-sufficient.
The southern states have many
advantages over the northern
states. First, the land is cheaper;
climate is milder and growing sea-
son longer, two and sometimes
three crops can be grown in the
same season on the same soil; a
greater variety of crops can be
grown.
The south is naturally adapted
to the growing of live stock, grain
legume crops; expensive farm
buildings are unnecessary, pas
ture season is longer, work can be
carried on throughout the entire
year.

Roosevelt tot Britain on
mission of propaganda"
This is England's message to
America right now! 1t was voiced
by Maurice Hewlett, famous poet,
essayist and interpreter of the
soul of the English people.
Do the British people under
sand America? Are they in full
accord with the great ideals for
which America is fighting? How
much real help do they expect
from American Intervention?
ut Is a fact" Hewlett said,
that the English have un-
derstoOd America as little as
tho Americans have under
stood England.
Regardless OF all accusations of
imperialism hurled at England. Il
Is fundamental fact that In this
war-the most popular we ever
hsd-the British people are fight
ing not only in self-defense. but
also for the very ideals that have
drawn in the United States.
Lingering Suspicion.
Despite this fundamental iden-
tity OF aim, do not doubt there
turks here and there in America
a lingering suspicion of Great
Britain; while over here some still
ask how sincere the United States
Will be.
To stamp out these misunder-
standings, America should send
several speakers of great ability
TO Britain. And why not have
