for a visit with various Grant county
relatives. Mr.. Dechow left here about
nine years ago, trading Lancaster and

surrounding is fiat prairie. On the De-
chow farm are two sets complete of
buildings. Two flowing artesian wells
furnish soft water piped into the
houses. The crops were good in that
region last year and the country is
prosperous.

WAS GERMANY PREPARED?-

WAS GERMANY PREPARED?-
At the beginning of the present war
Germany was short of nickel, copper,
cotton, rubber, etc. The chances are
that she barely had a years supply
on hand. If she had been planning
war is it likely that she would be
caught with this shortage Of these
important articles?
At the beginning Of the war and
some time before its start German
manufacturers were turning out
aeropIanes for the British navy at a
branch factory on British soil. Here
are some figures which, if you exam
inc closely, you will begin to realize

FROM CAPT. BARRYS SISTER.
Mr.. E. G. Billiards. tribute to Capt.
Miles E. Barry was at once timely
and well founded, to say the least. AS
a sister of the deceased, I wish to
express to him my heartfelt graft
tude for his great kindness to his
late friend, my brother.
His comment on the sO-Called
newspapers, I hope, will reach home,
and be a means Of enGvening those
organs to a greater consideration IN

faultless, and with personalities so
uplifting, as those of the late Capt

THE RACIAL QUESTION.-SingIe
Takers statements concerning the
cause of the war doubtlessly cover
the economic side of the question,
but fail to recognize the racial causes
to be considered. The Eastern
Question" with it's frequent wars,
was principally a racial problem.
Britain has her open gateway to the
east via the SUez canal, which is also
open to all powers, except enemies
during war. Germany wants the
COnstantinople route from a com
merciaI as well as a strategic stand
point. Britain was compelled to
adopt a two in one" naval policy as
an insurance against being isolated
in time Of war by any nation or any
combination of powers.
When we state that Britain is
fighting for liberty, there again the
racial question enters, for we mean
liberty of the nation. German kuI-
tUre may have all the beautiful quail
tiles attributed to it, but the British

SAVE THE LAND.

SAVE THE LAND. - Spring will
come, and with all products so high
the farmer will not be able to buy
seed enough for the future cultiva-
ton.
So I would advise the government
to aid all farmers with seed and i'm
plements and money without inter
est and compel every landowner to
have the land properly under cult
walton.
A law should be passed that in the
event the landowner fails to put all
the land under cultivation the land
goes Immediately to the government
and the owner loses title to it forever,
the government to put this land I'M
der cultivation and sell the product
at cost to the consumer directly, not
to spectators. And if we adopt such
a plan the country will be saved

than the monthly average since the
first Of the year, and $T1,000,000 below
the corresponding month Of year
ago. Imports for July were valued at
S226, 100000, or SS1.O00,OOO less than
the imports OF June and $13,O00,000
less than the monthly average, but
they were s43,oO,OO0 greater than the
imports of July, 1915.
The above figures mean that the
foreign trade OF the United States for
July was % per cent below the
monthly average for the present year.
That is a larger drop than was antici-
pated, and the preliminary summary
is not in sufficient detail to show the
causes for the decline. The effect OF
the export control law, which was in
operation for the last half Of the
month, is readily seen, however, in the
decrease in exports. The value Of the
cargoes of grain and other foodstuffs
loaded in boats held in American har-
bors, and originally destined for the
neutrals OF Europe, would Of itself
probably account for the greater part
if not the whole Of the decline in
exports.
