recommended q law making the speed
limit, outside of corporate towns and
cities twenty-five miles per hour. It
is understood that bill along this
line, and including several other val
liable features, will be presented to
the legislature
The present law, making fifteen
mics an hour the limit while there
was some reason for it when passed,
Is now too antiquated for conditions.
At the time of it's passage the num-
Der of automobiles on the roads was
much less. A large proportion Of the
horses and mules were afraid Of the

changed The officers OF ,he .ar are

law; Of setting a limit at their own
discretion. or of enforcing it to the
letter, which results in persecution of

UNDER FOREIGN FLAGS.
From DAILY FINANCIAL, AMERICA

From DAILY FINANCIAL AMERICA. a. - "a
Dr. George Sidney Webster, secretary of the
american Seanien's Friend Society, expresses the
view that, after the war; large percentage Of
the ships which should be under American owner.
ship will be under foreign registry The great in
ducement will be the lower wages which ships are
allowed to pay under foreign flags.
The La Toilette seamen's act, according to its
formulators would result in forcing foreign nations
to raise their wage and other ship-labor standards
to conform with those of this country, and thus
establish parity of competition so far as operat
ing conditions are concerned. The idea that one
government can legislate for the world is so clearly
fallacious as to he absurd All that the seamen' S
act will do-and that is more than enough-is to
enhance the competitive pGwer of foreign countries
in shipping enterprise.
We trust that some day an American administra-
ton will realize that the logical and practical way
OF developing a merchant marine is to give direct
aid TO shipping enterprises. England and Germany
and Japan, the chief msitme nations of the world,
have built up their merchant fleets, and therefore
their foreign trade, on this basis.

Plant a Garden!
The warning nations OF Europe ap-
preciate very fully the high food va
lue of vegetables and are straining
every effort towards maximum pro-
duCtiCn. For practical reasons it be-
hcOves the housekeeper to give seri-
Gus attention to the food. value and
economy OF home grown vegetables.
Meats OF all kinds and such products
as eggs and milk are steadily rising
in cost. and there is no probability OF
material reduction from now on.
number OF factors have contributed
to this. some of which are beyond leg
islative control. While ii is true that
a good deal of the increased prices are
due TO control of production and sup.
ply by large corporations this is by no
means the only cause The produc-
ton of animal food has not kept pace
with the increase Of population, and
sanitary regulations have caused much
material that in former years would
have been used as food to be dumped
into the fertilizer tank.-Plant a Gar
den!
The immense variety Of vegetables
offered by the seedsmen is often con-
fusing. The extension division is in
position to aid the prospective gar
dener in selecting suitable varieties
and also to instruct as to cultural
methods best suited to local condi-
tons Congressional seeds are also
available to all who will apply for
them. $500. -
Mankind is hoping for golden
age Many change must be wrought,
and much water must flow to the sea
before this age will be reached, but
one step will bme when it is recogniz-
ed that health and economy will be
promoted by the use of the green

Sir: Below is small poem / would

- NOT A SOLDIER BUT A MAN
Any one can be soldier, g.
When there's nothing else to do
But wear a khaki uniform
And line up for review.
Anyone can grasp Springfield,
And march proudly down the street
When admiring crowds are present,
= And the music's loud and sweet.
But when the bugle sounds the call
to arms, -.
And you get your orders issued
quick and short, b..
Betoken grim forebodings of the com

And face the coming strife.
