Comfortable Homes Help.

The better farm home is not pam acea for all ills of dissatisfaction with farm life. There will be farm boys and farm girls who will want to take up other professions than tilling the soil. The problem, says the depart ment of agriculture, is not to force them to stay on the farm, but to make conditions good enough there that they may make an intelligent choice,

RAP AT STEEL FIRM.

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 1.-THE
United States Steel corporations de-
Tense to the governments dissolution
suit was assailed today in a lengthy
brief filed by the government in the
supreme court.
The government charges that the
corporation was formed, not as con-
tended. as the result Of the legitimate
development of trade, but for the Sup
preston of competition and the ex-
ploitation Of the public" The govern
ment meets the corporations conten-
ton that 1t is not monopoly because
it alone cannot dictate prices with the
declaration that the corporation con-
trolls the output of more than so per
cen of the production in almost every
branch of its activity and has main
tanned prices. notably in the case of
steel rails. to the extent that competi-
tors virtually have followed the prices
fixed by the corporation.

YOUR CHANCE.

A manager is promoted to bigger
branch because he has made good
where he Is. An assistant manager
is made manager because he has dem.
onstrated his fitness for the Job, and
statesmen are made managers, not
alone because they are successful
statesmen, but because they show signs
of being able to handle other men.
The way to win promotion is to de.
velop initiative, learn to do your own
thinking, think in a straight line, and
not to lean on somebody else unless
it's really imperative that you shall
do so.
And above all else, don't get into the
way of thinking that you haven't just
as good a chance as the other fellow,
no matter what you are doing or where
you are.-The Sterling Spur.

OUR RECRUITING PLAN.

The war department Is elated over
the success of it's recruiting plan
which hinges largely upon the ability
of postmasters to serve as recruiting
officers. Yesterday the department
commended the postmasters of the
state of Indiana for getting seventy
four men to join the colors since the
call to arms was issued nearly year
ago. And be it not forgotten. the post
masters cashed in their recruits at the
rate of IS head.
The good work" of the Indiana post
masters would hardly produce an
army. Similar good work by the post
masters throughout the union would
result in the enlisting of about 1000
men a year In ESQ years at that rate
one million men would be enlisted.
But, expiration of enlistments and the
death rate Of the enlisted men, very
few of whom would live $50 years,
would cut the one million down to
about the original 1000. In other
words. the work that the war depart
ment enthuses over so readily is but
drop in the fogshead, the merest be-
ginning of really competent cam
paign or movement to get an army.
Under the circumstances, it is not
difficult to understand why Americas
edicts and ultimatums and requests
get so little consideration at the hands
of European governments.

WIEN 70 FIGHT.

"Has the overt act been commit.
ted?" That is the query on every lip
as the newspaper is picked up. It car
ries with it the supposition that when
the overt act is committed 1t means
this nation will be plunged into war.
Let's go slow about this business OF
getting into war. Overt acts have
been committed. Germany, and other
sbelligerent nations as WELL have violat.
ed international law and the law OF
humanity to the detriment of Ameri-
cans, but the plunging of nation into
war should require something worse
than anything that has yet been done.
Technically. Germany has done
those things we said must not be done.
But thus far, Germany has done moth
ing that warrants our declaring war
and setting in motion forces that Will
eat up billions of dollars Of wealth and
possibly thousands upon thousands OF
lives.
When we go to war with Germany,
or any other nation. let's have a goal
worth fighting for; let's make the
0ame worth the candle.

CAR CONGESTION
DUE TO WEATHER
RAILROAD MEN SAY SUBMARINE
WAR is NOT CAUSE OF PILiNG
UP OF FREIGHT.

New York, Feb. II. Owners and
agents of ships declared today they
were ready to do their part in reliev'
ing the railroad freight congestion.
They predicted that exporters would
have no cause for complaint that they
could not find vessels to carry their
goods at, least no greater cause than
existed before the declaration of the
German submarine blockade.
Railroad men were inclined to agree
that the new submarine campaign play.
ed only small part in the freight sit
uation. They pointed out that before
the German edict went into effect the
British steamship companies reserved
IS per cent Of their cargo space for the
use Of their government. The most i'm.
portant factor in the situation, they
said, was the weather which had been
the worst in many years.
Twenty-one merchandising arriving
here yesterday promised greater cargo
space than the port Of New York has
enjoyed for some time. Fourteen OF
these came through the war zone.
War risk insurance today showed q
slight reduction from the high rates
prevailing since the beginning of the
German blockade.

THE NATURE OF MAN.

why do nations go to war to settle
their differences when 1t would cost
them less in blood and money to sub
NIT to arbitration?
WHY do nations violate solemn
agreements when those agreements
become embarrassing?
Why do men take advantage of one
another in their struggle to get ahead
in the world?
Why are prices on certain commodi-
ties higher since the war started than
thew were before the war, provided the
approximate cost Of producing and de-
Hyering has remained about the same
The answer is--human nature.
Man has not reached that state
where he is so fair and just himself
that he is willing to trust his cause
to the fairness and business of others.
Man is still sufficiently selfish to put
the law of self preservation ahead of
all others and to treat treaties as
scraps of paper If they impede him in
what he considers struggle for life.
Man has not developed brotherly love
TO the extent where he will always
consider the interests of his neighbor
ahead of his own. 1t is human nature
to be as men are today. We have no
reason to expect improvement until
human nature undergoes change.
Men get to discussing the cost OF
cue certain commodity and ask,

pAIRYMEN AROUSED.

Dairy farmers are up in arms in the
eastern states against the Underwood
amendment to the pending revenue
bill, which reduces. the tax on colored
Oleomargarine from ten cents to only
two cents per pound The measure
raises the tax on uncolored oleomar-
garine to two cents from one-fourth Of
a cent pound. and the democratic
senators claim that the net result will
be to produce large revenue from a
greatly increased sale of the imitation
butter.
Secretary Greasy of the National
Dairymen's association and various
national representatives Of the grange
and of other organizations of farmers
are making loud protest against the
scheme. They denounce it as political
treachery to the farmer and dairyman
and say that it will deliver severe
blow to the prosperity of the dairying
interests in the whole country.

PROTEST AGAINST
BEING RECALLED

Webster City. Feb. 1.-THE action
of the FIT. Dodge Commercial club in
seeking to bring pressure to bear to
get the Iowa troops home from the
Mexican border has raised the ire Of
the officers of the second infantry, the
only Iowa regiment left on the border.
The action of the FIT. Dodge CONNER
cial league was made public through
Webster City, due to the fact that
Webster City men received letters
from the FIT. Dodge league asking their
assistance in the matter. Similar let
tiers were written to every town repre-
scented by companies in the second in
fantry.
But just as soon as the regiment
learned what was going on, the ON
GERS protested at once. meeting
was called and letter was prepared
by the FIT. Dodge companies as a pro-
test to the commercial league Of their
home city.
The Iowa men hold that they an.
swered the call of the president and
that. while they are anxious to come
home, they would not think OF coming
so long as any emergency exists for
keeping them in active service.
