ing the weakness of an enemy.
Reports coming from Switzerland
say Germany has reached the crisis so
far as her man power is concerned.
For three years, according to these
dispatches, Germany has lost on an
average of 100000 men annually, and
this number will at least be equaled in
1918. 1t is contended that to continue
the war on the same scale for another

command a reserve of at least 2,000,'
600 men, whereas they actually will
have a reserve of only 100000, in

OUR GREATEST ENEMY.

Unless We stem the tide of social
ism in this country, winning the wal
and driving Prussianism from the face
i of the earth will have a useless task
II have no quarrel with coal dictators
and food dictators but in their eX
istence lie a foe America may some
day meet" So declared Governor VIM
L. Harding of Iowa, in an address at
Kansas City before the Republican
club of Missouri. Governor Arthur
Capper of Kansas also addressed the
meeting.
Governor Harding's remarks came
in explanation of the principles OF
American government in which he had
declared this is primarily a nation
of parties"
No great nation can long exist un
der strictly socialistic principles, he
declared.
The speaker asserted that he did not
wish to have his remarks construed as
an adverse criticism of the administra
ton but that he felt it the privilege
of the opposition honestly to disagree
with the party in power. The duty OF
the Republican party at the next cleo
ton, he said, would be to organize
and present its candidates as in times
of peace and leave it to the voters to
decide the outcome.

COOPERATION COUNTS.

Mahaska county has new farm
bureau association, which has been
duly incorporated, observes the Bur
lington Hawkeye: 1.-THE announcement
is made that the bureau is to cooper
ate with the Oskaloosa Commercial
club. There ought to be splendid re-
suits from an arrangement of that
kind. Closer cooperation between the
progressive men on the farm and the
progressive men in the town is sure
to be beneficial to both. One of the
plans which the bureau is considering
is the establishment of a permanent
school of agriculture. That is an indi'
cation that the bureau is going to give
due attention to the young folks and
that means that the boys and girls
in Mahaska county are not going to
turn their backs upon the farm as
soon as they begin to feel that they
are able to strike out for themselves"

A NATIONAL RAG-PICkER,

While the United States is hesitat
ing about creating a national junkman
to reclaim the fortune to be gotten
from the salvage of all sorts of wal
material Great Britain is acting. And
she is finding it greatly worth while
Take this single item of rags and dis
carded clothes. z5..&.
In one month, it is estimated, Brit
aims rag-pickers have saved 100000
from the waste in the camps and bat
tie fields of Flanders. All manner OF
discarded uniforms, all sorts of cloth
ing all stray pieces of cloth are gath
cred and sent to depot established in
England. There everything is clean
ed and its new uses determined. II
Great Britain can save that much in
single month on rags what could
the United States save during the war
on all the metal and other material
that will be thrown away in Europe
and at home?
