A NATIONAL FARMERS BOARD.

Members OF different farmers ORGANIZATIONS in
various sections o. the country are giving consd.
Grafton to a proposal recently made that a fedora;
board of farm organizations composed of limit
ed number OF representatives from each society be
formed to represent the farmers of the country al
the national capital to propose legislation in their
behalf. to oppose such as may be inimcal and
generally assist III bringing the government closer
to this grea5 eement Of our population.
The proposal appears to be mighty good one
The Chambers of Commerce of the United States
have their representatives there, and so do the
railroads, the banks, the commission men, and a
lot of other associations of our business and indus
trial life, but there is no general representative
board of any kind that can speak authoritatively
and effectively for the farmers of the nation Two
or three farmers organizations have delegates
there, which is better than none at all, but they
cut little figure because as a matter of fact they
represent only special class.
If general board, truly representative of the
actual and active farmers of the country could be
established solid basis, it would be mighty
good thing for the government as we'll as for the
farmers.

LET GEORGE DO IT."

Do the American people realize that the United
States is at war, engaged in the worst war IN the
worlds history with the very authority of the
nation at stake and the hopes for democracy
throughout the world hanging in the balance?
The answer is in the reports of the sessions OF
the local exemption boards, our own as well as
those of other cities, which show that more than
half of those who pass the physical examination
are putting in claims for exemption. 1t is con-
elusive demonstration of the fact that this war
has not come home to many of us Americans yet
as individuals, that many of us are not yet ready
to make the sacrifice that the young men OF Eng
land and Canada and France and Australia and
all the other Allies have made and that thousands
of our own young men made when they volun-
teered during recent months--it shows that many
of those of us who remain are still willing to 'let
George do it.
Quite large number of the young men OF
Thurston county who filed claims for exemption
this week are clearly entitled to discharge from
the present call; quite a number are not. The
local board will have to distinguish between the
two fairly and honestly and severely, certifying
those for service whom they think have the least
to sacrifice and holding them strictly to the per-
Torrance of their duty to their country. Proper
administration of this feature of the law now will
demonstrate more effectively than anything else
that the government is in earnest and SO will
create in the popular mind more general realiza-
ton Of what we have to do.
Once the average American gets awakened to
the situation he will not shirk. He doesn't realize
the importance Of it now, nor the seriousness o.
II; doesn't realize how necessary it is for him
personally and individually to do that which the
government calls him to do. He is conducting
hinself now on the theory that if there's chance
. eet out he is going to make stab for it, rather
than displaying the readiness to 60 when called
and do whatever has to be done, that he would If
he realized the necessity for it.
Six months from now when the second call
comes this attitude will be entirely changed
We're ready to bet on it.

WAR PROFITEERING.

President Wilson took hand this week in the
purchase of supplies for this government and the
Allies and let it be known emphatically, as he
asserted in recent proclamation that "war
profteering '-selling goods during war time at
an unreasonable profit-must cease This is the
first step-if the senate ever gets through with
the food control bill, others will be taken which
will curb such activities as much as it is humanity
possible to do so.
Charles Edward Russell hit the nail on the head
in his speech in Seattle the other day when he
declared:
In America in this great moment there
should be but one thought, one aim The man
who says, My wage above my country, is not
an American The man who says My profit
and my balance sheet above my country is
not an American. The man who says, my
organization, my sect, my association above
my country, is not an American We must
not forget that all our ideals are in deadly
peril; democracy hangs by thread. 1t is not
question, If shall have my fortune; it is
question, If shall have my country" e
That is the ideal We will not attain it, of
course, on either side, for human nature is human
nature, but we can struggle for it and in the
struggling make it mighty uncomfortable for
those who fail to abide by this concept of patriot.

1t is plain enough how we were forced into the

OF the Imperial German Government left us no
self-respecting choice but to take up arms in de-

masters of Germany denied us the right to be
neutral. They filed our unsuspecting communi.

to corrupt the opinion of our people in their own

THE ACID TEST.

''The time has come when American lib
erty, justice, independence and freedom are
ct stake and every one of us must fight IN one
way or another. The acid test now has come
and we must face it with full and fearless
hearts and fight as we never fought before. -
These are the words Of Elihu Root, chairman OF
the diplomatic mission to Russia, spoken at the
biz meeting in Seattle last Saturday welcoming
the commission home. They are the words OF one

Would that our people could hear the truth from

M1LLET

Millet is a warm weather crop, that
is sown the first of June will be ready
to cut for hay September LIST. The
German and Siberian millets are the
most popular for hay. One-half BUSH
ell per acre makes a good seeding. The
broom corn, hog or prose- millets are
the best to grow for the seed. Three
pecks per acre usually gives a good
stand. In addition to making a crop
of hay or seed millet can often be used
to clean the land. It grows fast and
dense, so smothers the weeds If given
good start. The best way to feed
millet hay is to use it with other hay
or roughage not using more than half
millet. Millet feed has very much the
same feeding value as oats. Millet
will do best in the southern and cen
trail parts Of the state.

RUTA BAGAs

the conditions are favorable. They do
we'll on new breaking and newly plow-
ed sod when the moisture is sufficient
which will likely be only in the low
places. On the breaking or sod there
will likely be but few weeds to bother
so that they can be sown broadcast.
On old land it is best to SOW in rows
three feet apart so that horse cult
walton can be given though it will be
necessary to 10 some hand work, if
they are to be kept clean. The ruta
bagas should be sown about corr
planting time and not later than May.
Ruta bagas are a good stock food and
are also fine for the table.-Agr. Elk.

PRESIDENT OF sTUDEBAKER
CORPORATION SAYS. THIS IS
NO TIME FOR ANY MAN TO
FEEL PESSIMISTIC.
A STATE OF WAR ALWAYS
STIMULATES AN ACTIVE DE.
MAND FOR MANUFACTLk RED
AND FARM PRODUCTS.

Now that our country has been thor
oughly embroiled in the titanic world
war, there exists in the minds of some
men a feeling of uncertainty Is to its
effect upon business conditions here
on this side Of the Atlantic. Contrary
to a general impression. that prevails
in this country, "big business" is ap-
parently not at all worried over the
international complications. The fo!-
lowing statement from A. r. Erskinc,
President of the Studebaker corpora
ton, certainly sounds an optimistic
note concerning future prospects.
"A state Of war always stimulates
an active demand for the products G.
the mines, fields and factories" says
Mr.. Erskine, land the United States
has felt this demand from foreign
countries for the past three years to
an extensive degree. The entry of the
United States into the war simply in
creases the demand, and consequently,
large increases in price have 'ensued
recently for all agricultural products,
live stock and food supplies generally.
The demand for munitions and war
SUPPLIES continu IS very heavy, not only
from the Allies but from our own,
government, and consequently the in
dustries Of the country are and will
continue to be operated at full capa-
city upon thse orders. Thus, it is evil
dent that our people in all pursuits are
receiving large incomes, perhaps great
er than ever before in our history, and
as long as this condition continues,
business will be good.
"Our plants at Detroit, South Bend
and Walkersville are operated at ca
pacity, and we ere selling our output
as fast as it can be shipped. We be-
lieve that our business for 1917 will be
larger than that of last year, and we
urge all statesmen and dealers to take
advantage of the existing opportuni-
ties and get their full share of the
business.
