OUR WARS

When the war was first declared
really thought nobody cared;
But now they're beginning to realize
It's going to cost them many lives.
We fought in seventeen seventy-siX
And whipped the British to fiddle
sticks.
We fought in eighteen twelve again,
And whipped the British with un-
trained men.
We fought in eighteen sixty-one.
The northern men thought it fun.
We fought in eighteen ninety-eight
And taught the Cubans the Spanish
to hate.
And now we are fighting the Kaiser
plucky.
He does not know when he is lucky.
When he once gets Uncle Sam to
fight
He had better retreat with all his
might.
When Uncle Sammies' troops get
started
It's a very hard thing to get them
parted.

REAPING THE WHIRLWIND

Ever since the great war started
Germanys policies have been gov
erned solely by the dictates of ambi-
ton and expediency and the theory
that might makes right. The Kaiser
and his advisers have sowed the
wind and are now reaping the whirl-
wind.
Germany chose to violate the neu-
Tality of Belgium and to disregard
It's treaty obligations because mill
tary expediency dictated that the
surest method of taking France by
surprise and the quickest way of
capturing Paris was to strike
through Belgium. Paris was not
captured, but Germanys contemptu-
Gus disregard of treaties, as mere
scraps of paper, drew England into
the conflict and aroused the condem-
nation of the world.
Germany decided to deny to neu-
ual nations the freedom of the seas,
guaranteed to them by international
law, because a ruthless and unre-
stricted submarine warfare upon all
commerce seemed to offer the surest
and quickest way of starving Eng
land and France. The submarine
campaign has not accomplished its
purpose, but it has arrayed the Unit
ed States, with all it's tremendous re-
sources, against the imperial govern
mont of Germany
Germany decided to make war as
irlghtful as possible, to adopt in
human methods of fighting, to treat
conquered territory and peoples with
horrible cruelty and severity, to in
stlgate and encourage the perpetual
ZION of fiendish atrocities by her SOL
diers, because it seemed that this
was the surest way of striking terror
INTO the hearts OF her opponents and
crushing their opposition. Instead
OF accomplishing the desired object,
this policy of ruthless cruelty has but
stimulated the hatred of her foes and
confirmed them in their determine
ton to keep ON fighting until the
menace of Germany's military autoc-
racy Is destroyed for all time.
Germany's policy in discarding all
obligations OF right and justice to
follow the dictates of might and ex-
pediency has failed to accomplish

AN IMPORTANT HEARING

Wheat growers should be we'll rep
resented at the hearings to be held
| in Spokane on December o and in
| Portland on December II by the bu-
reau of markets of the U. S. Depart
| ment of Agriculture. At these hear
| ingS the new government grain
tons governing their application will
be discussed and suggestions re-
ceived for needed changes and modi-
fications. The millers and buyers
will be ably represented and it be-
hooves the buyers to see their side of
hooves the growers to see that their
side of the question is adequately
presented.
A strong effort should be made to
change the standard of 60 pounds
per bushel prescribed for No. 1 Red
Ruscsian wheat. This is a light va
riety, the very best quality rarely
weighing over IS pounds per bushel,
and most of it testing between Sc
and 5S, which grades as No. 3 and
penalties the growers six cents per
bushel. The 60-pound standard is
obviously unfair and should be re-
duced to So pounds per bushel for
No. !.
The regulations governing the
dockage of wheat because of the
presence in it of shriveled and
broken kernels and oats should be
modified so as to require the buyer
to pay to the grower the market
value of this dockage, less the cost
of cleaning. At present the farmers
are paying the freight on this dock
age to terminal points, where it has
value of about two cents a pound,
which is absorbed by the buyers.
Secretary of Agriculture Houston is
on record as having stated that it is
the opinion of his department that
any value which the dockage may
possess should be paid for in some
manner The growers should insist
that this opinion be embodied as a
regulation governing the application
of the government grain standards.
When the standards were fixed
the millers and buyers were on hand
in force with suggestions and argu-
ments, but the growers of the Pa
cific Northwest were not represent
ed. These hearings will afford them
an opportunity to present their ideas
and contentious. They should send
their ablest and best posted men to
Spokane on Decem Der 10, and to
Portland on December ~, to present
their case and should back up their
representatives by attending them
selves. The only way to secure need
ed notifications of the grain stand
ards and regulations is to show the
injustice of the present ones and to

The sky was lenden, the rain still
