yet further specifications were found

This history of our flag indicates
that the "Stars and Stripes" was not
carried by troops in battle until the
period of the Mexican war, 1S4647.
Several flags Of this period are in the

to the Civil war. The garrison flag OF

And who decides what the city gov
eminent shall do?
First, the officials of the govern.
ment; and, second, those who elect
them.
Do the women elect them? No, the
men do. So it is the men and not the
women who are really responsible for
the unclean houses, bad plumbing, UNI
wholesome food, danger of fire, risk
of tuberculosis and other diseases,
and immoral influences of the street.
In fact, men are responsible for the
condition under which the children
live, but we hold women responsible
for the results of those conditions. If
we hold women responsible for the re-
suits, must we not, in simple justice,
let them have something to say a $
to what these conditions shall be?
There is one way of doing this. Give
them the same means that men have.
Let them have a voice in politics.
A woman cannot marry without the
interference Of politics. She must
have the permission Of City Hall to
get her license.
She cannot build a home without
City Halls permission.
She is obliged to depend upon City
Hall guarantee purity of the food for
her household.
The water supply of her home is
linked up with City Hall.
Politics gets inside of her baby.
The milk that she feeds the baby is
under political supervision.
She cannot get her garbage remov-
ed without the interference of politics.
Politics enters into the question of
her heat and fuel supply.
She must depend on politics to pro-
tect her and her children from fire.
And from contagious disease. And
from polluted air.
She cannot walk on clean streets UNI
less politics will permit her,
In face Of these lncontrovertible
facts, can she possibly say that she

If she wants her house we'll kept she

PER MAN, NOT PER. ACRE.

We hear much about increased production an
conserving idle lands much of utilizing back yard
and vacant lots, even roadsides and railroad right
of way. Added to this will be the annual priz
contests for the greatest yields per acre.
They are all good-excellent.
But let us not lose sight of the fact that il. thi.
country is to meet and solve the food problem the
burning demand will be, not for the maxium pro
duction per acre, but for the maximum PER MAN
It is imperative that every worker in the sol
this year use every means possible to make his
work count to the utmost in his VOLUME OF
PRODUCTION. He should cultivate every acre
possible, and in order to increase his capacity he
should employ every available implement for re-
iiducing man labor while increasing the work done.
This is no time to be dabbling in a garden with
a wedding hoe while tractor and gang plow stand
idle. The garden and back yard are available for
the aged and the very young and the town bust
ness man who has no field to cultivate, but the
husky young giant is vitally needed in driving
the BIG implements of production and making
the broad acres bloom and f~ruitify.
A full yield per acre is essential, but the saliva
tion Of this country will dercnd largely upon BET
TER YIELDS and MORE ACRES PER MAN.
Last year millions Of acres went uncultivated.
This year every acre should be made to produce
to the limit Of its possibilities, An idle field in
1917 will be reproach to it's owner, and it is to
be hoped there will be not one in this whole COM
munity.
If the owner is without the means of securing
improved machinery in order to increase his acre
age and it's yield, then the moneyed men and the
bankers should come promptly to his aid. The
.~fnancier is indebted to this country for his wealth,
and in the hour of national danger that wealth
should be placed unreservedly at the legitimate dis
posal of the farmers who must toll early and late
that the people may not suffer for bread.
The big implement makers should also come
to the front with a rush. If credit is needed, then
credit should be extended in order that more acres
may be titled.
Where more farm hands are needed they should
be drafted from the cities and the towns. If they
are unwilling to go and do their share government
wi authorities should compel action. Every able
bodied man should either fight or work. There is
no. room for siaekers and the public is in no mood
to condone them.
The United States does not lack for the
MEANS to produce the crops necessary to feed
the people in this hour of peril, but those means
MUST BE EMPLOYED or we fall.

THE PUSH IN THE WEST.


There are unmistakable signs Of Allied success
in the West, where the French have just initiated
a striking advance and the British have just con-
solidated considerable captured trenches. In the
first drive more than $4,000 prisoners were taken
more than a hundred big guns and other material.
In the latest advance of the French, the prisoners
have reached more than $1,000 and the materials
almost as much.
This 10 q good showing for a month, and there
is no telling what such progress means until we
see what, happens. 1t Is not conceivable that such
pushes continue without a deprecated morale in
Germany and q further retreat in France. As this
country is in the war it may mean the lives Of
Americans to force the Germans back and people
here would welcome nothing more than tremen-
dcas Allied success, which would force Germany to
hhine And hing asgetations for peace.

WOMEN N INDUSTRY.
IA IA

No war liz history has taken from civil pur-
suits for such a protracted period 50 large a per-
centage of men. In the belligerent nations of Eu-
rope, universal service has been made as nearly
as possible reality. To fill the vacant places, to
keep the wheels of industry moving, more and
more wea.en are being employed.
Now that we are at war, the same condition
may to some extent be ieeked for in this country.
Already, in New York, plans are on foot in bust
ness circles for replacing men who go to the front
with women workers. Business men calculate
that fully a hundred thousand office jobs will be
vacant. Women must fill these places. Already
in sss establishment the number of women in
clerical positions has increased since the war from
F16 to 60 per cent, and this without displacing
any men.
This condition will probably now be accentuat-
ed; and American business men are planning to
meetit
OF course in many instances the places will be
held open for the men on their return. This stip-
~ulation or promise was made by many industries
in Britain and Canada to encourage volunteer re-
~cruiting. Yet after the war there must inevitably
be a larger proportion of women employed, not
merely in Office work, but in industrial and out
door labor. The places women have been filling
in war time, they will continue to hold.
All this means, for women, a wider field Of
activity and a greater influence in political affairs.
It is idle to suppose that at the close Of hostili-
ties, women will automatically revert to the iden-
tical position they occupied, socially and indus
trially, before the war began. Decided changes
may be looked for. They are already evident in
the belligerent countries; and the United States
will be subject to the same influences, and will ex-
p~erience very similar results.
