 The medicine not taken internally rubbed linimen but you have it shot into you by large gun
 Unless refuse to take the treatment everything that believed will be overruled discarded and thrown into the alley.
 If Germany is not licked to a standsti, might well begin to memorize and humbly accept the following:
 Dishonesty is the best policy.
 Be skunk and you will be happy.
 Blessed the child murderes for they shall inherit the earth Be you right handy with firearms then go ahead An evil reputation is better than riches
 Truth crushed to earth will not rise again the crushing is done in a superior and efficient manner.

THE REFERENDUM

T HE FARMER for many champion of the initiative
 and referendum has the principle adopted into the aws about of third of the states hopes that this principle will gain ground and it is willing to it have the wid est application.
 During its years long advocacy of these principles The
 Farmer has often said that the day would the prv- d and conservative classes who the chief opponents of the referendum, would desire it.
 The temper of the people has been steadily growing derOus for change radical The time has been steadily approaching when the radical clements legislatures would be more numerous, and often dominant
 legislature is always radical than the people that elect m that is to say the legislators mainly chosen by conservatives they will be conservative than their const usns by radicals, radical The minister desires to please his congregation
 The referendum, which leaves question to the people, is moderate and fair It is notable that New York state the big brewers demanding referendum the liquor question: The prOhibhoniss opposing it vote of the people would accurately reflect the mind of the people than vote by legislature
 The prohibtionists evidently believe that the dry VIII dominate the next New York law making body. But referendum is fair, American matter how it hits.

STOCK MARKET

New York, Dec. 29.-Opening- Trading on the stock exchange today was somewhat curtailed by adverse weather conditions which caused in- terruption with out of town points. Such interest as was manifested again centered mainly around low priced rails in which additional gains of to 2h points were made. The Rock Isl- and issues were again the most active features. The war shares were firm with motors and metals, but United States Steel soon forfeited it's slight advance. Liberty bonds were steady.
 Closing-Gains of the last days were added to in the first hour of the active short market today. Much of the advantage was lost at the end on extensive selling for profit. Minor railroads were one to two points high CT at their strength. United States moved fractionally over and under yesterdays final price.

London, Dec. 29.-Dispatches from Petrograd bearing date of Thursday aim to give an impression of how the German peace reply was received there but the, statements are 1nex- plicit and seem to be based partly on sslrmise. The reply. according to the correspondent of the Daily News, ere ated a favorable impression generally and he believes that if the Bolsheviki convene the constituent assembly now they will have Russia. almost solidly behind them.
 Representing the people as disptritd and indifferent owing to the m1ser- able conditions of life. including the food shortage, the correspondent or the Morning Post says that as far as northern Russia is concerned it will accept peace on any terms that the Germans may like to impose. How the 'remaindr of Russia will act, he adds. is another question. The core spondent of the Times is of the opin- ion that the Bolshevih are d1Sheart- ened over the German refusal to allow nationalities hitherto without pollu- cal independence to decide their own future. He says that as the Russian delegates will adhere to this demand, it is likely to be a serious stumbling block to further negotiations.
 The Russian frontier, according to the Post correspondent, again has bene closed to British and Americans because of the continued disputes concerning government messages. The last British messenger arrived several weeks late and no messengers are

REPORT BOLSHEYIKI RULERS AS PLEASED
 WITH PEACE MOVES

leaving. Allied residents of Petro- grad, like the ordinary public, have ben six weas in complete ignorance of what is hapenping in Allied coun- tries. The ordinary postal service stopped working long ago. On the other hand, there is plenty of Ger man newspapers and information.
 Petrograd, the correspondent adds, is full of Germans who, quite at ease, speak the Berlin dialect loudly, the Russians not protesting. In general, he says, the feeling of the Allied resi- dents in northern Russia at the pres- ent moment finds it's nearest parallel : that of the European residents in Picking during the Boxer troubles. He quotes a representative of one of the Allies as saying to him last week:
 '"We shall put up with any aftront to keep Russia in the war;"
 The Post correspondent adds that affronts to the Allied diplomats have not been lacking.
 It is reported that the Bolsheviki in Kiev are trying to establish rival Ukrainian rada to be composed of workmen and peasants. A congress of workmen's and soldiers delegates in Kharkov has declared itself the supreme power in the Ukraine, depos- ing the Ukrainian rada.
 The Ukrainian military commander in Kiev has requested Ensign Kylen- ko, the Bolshevik commander in chief, to release number of Ukrain- ian officers and soldiers he arrested in Minsk, Pskoff and elsewhere. A reply was demanded within 4S hours.

MILITARY EXPERTS
 SEEK TO SIMPLIFY
 AIRPLANE BUILDING

Washington. Dec. 2s.-Amazing fig ures as to the number of parts and amount of material entering into con- struction of an airplane have been as- sembled by army aviation officials in an effort to simplify construction as a means of hastening production. While the present program cannot be delayed for the result of this investi- gaton it appears likely that a way will be found later to reduce greatly the number of parts and kinds of ma- terial now needed.
 Exclusive of the engine there are hundreds of parts in the structure of an airplane and even when built up sections of the frame are regarded as single parts. there remain nearly 200 separate pieces to be assembled into a completed machine. That is exctu- sive of screws. nails and similar items
 These are the things necessary to build a machine without it's engine:
 Nails. 4.S26: screws. 3.s77; steel stampings. 921: forgings, 79S; turn buckles. 276: veneer. s7 square feet; wire, S.262: varntsh. Ii gallons; dope (for dressing w1ngs), 6S gallons; alu- minum. S5 pounds: rubber. 34 feet; linen. POI square feet: spruce. 44 feet: pine, 5s feet: ash. 31 feet: hickory; 1 1-2 feet.
