A minister ought to be more than

ought to be the minister of the whole

build up his own church at the ex-
pense Of the other churches, but he
will be everybody's friend.

SELLING MUNITIONS.

Did we have a right to sell
munitions Of war? This right
has been established by treaty
and agreements between the ma
tions and is undisputed by the
international law. Germany has
always made a business of sell
ing munitions, in times Of war
as we'll as in times of peace. If
that right had not existed, our
forefathers would have suffered
defeat in the Revolutionary War.
We had no munition factories
in those days and no war sup
plies and if France had not come
to our rescue we would not be
able today to rejoice over the
victories of Washington. If the
rule were to be otherwise, small
nations with a small stock Of
munitions on hand would be at
the mercy of nations who pre-

houses with shot and shell. As
long as war is possible the small
and peaceful nations must have
a right to defend themselves
against powerful and war
thirsty nations. This right would
be destroyed if neutrals could
not sell munitions.
AS a nation we sold no war
materials. Our merchants and
our manufacturers carried on
trade with all who wanted to
buy, and property so. They did
not refuse to sell to Germany.

WHAT TO Do WITH THE
FROSTED CORN.

just what to do with a badly
frosted corn crop is a question
that is puzzling many farmers
in the northwest. Those who
have silos in which to put it need
not puzzle long over the ques-
tion. The best place for a froz-
en- corn crop is in the silo. In
no other way can so nearly all
|of the nutriment be saved and
fed to advantage. Those who
have no silos should choose what
will be, under. their circum-
stances, the least wasteful meth
|od Of handling the crop. There
are three or four options as fol-
lows:
Cut and shock the corn as soon
as possible. When dry and be-
fore winter sets in, husk out the
best ears and feed the .stover
and immature ears to cattle,
sheep or horses. This plan Of
handling saves most Of the feed
and provides for q wise distrib-
ution Of supplies. It requires
however, the maximum amount

You needn't slip your clothes in

CONGRESS TAKES HOLIDAY
Series of Investigations toProceed
During Christmas Recess.

Congress closed down Tuesday for
holiday vacation, leaving behind a
series of Investigations to proceed
during the recess. Both houses ad-
journed until Thursday, January 3,
when war legislation is to take the
forefront of the calendar.
In the last days business, the Sen
ate took final action toward submis-
sion to the States of a national pro-
hibition amendment to the constitution,
ordered two new Investigations, and
arranged for disposal of the coal and
oil land leasing bill on January Z. The
House passed the resolution to remove
doubt as to application of the new
war excess profits taxes to Congress-
men, and arranged for renewal of the
battle fer women suffrage on January
10.
During the recess, a half dozen Of
Investigations into war activities will
be in progress. Heading the list is
the railway inquiry. Other investi-
cations, in addition to those of rail
road problems and the shipbuilding
situation, deal with army and navy
war operations, the sugar and fuel
shortages and the alleged disloyal ST.
Paul speech of Senator LaFollette.
Some of the congressional commit
tees will work during the holidays on
the enormous appropriation bills and
other legislation.
