 Only citizens of the United States and friendly countries may obtain licenses. The pur- chaser of dynamite must state definitely what the explosive is to be used for when obtain ing his license, and will be held accumulation it's use as stated and the return of any that may be left.
 With the strict enforcement of this law the Federal author ities hope to prevent explosives falling into the hands of eyilly disposed persons, and to put a stop to all further dynamite plots.

Many of the old settlers ar dead, many moved away and this don't seem like the old home. Many that were ehil- dren whz Il l left now havefz n- flies and all of them have grown out of mE knowledge. But I have met a great m9ny of the old ones 1 used to as sociate with and had sweet memories of the long ago.

RELEASE LARGE AREA
 OF TICK QUARANTINE
Recent Government Order Lifts Quarantine Against
 Southern Cattle

An order signed by Seere- tary of Agriculture D. r. Hous- ton lifts on December 1, from 65,520 square miles in Southern States the Federal quarantine against movement of Southern cattle. It is of great importance to cattle raisers and dealers in the North as we'll as those of the South.
 In regions infected by the cattle tick it has not been held safe to import better stock for the improvement of Southern herds because cattle freshly brought in from regions where the tick is not prevalent are especially prone to sieken and die from the fever germs car ried by the blood-sucking para site. The federal quarantine against the cattle tick, on the other hand, has prevented the shipment of cattle from infest- ed sections for use as stockers and feeders in free territory only under quarantine restric- tions and for immediate slau. ghter.
 The release order for De- cember 1, frees the largest amount of territory ever liber- ated at one time since the Fed eral campaign against the tick was started in 1906. and ad- ded to 5.234 square miles freed in March and September, will make 1917 far the greatest year so far in the annihilation of the tick.
 Nine Southern States will benefit by the release or1er. The largest beneficiary vii be Mississippi, which will he en- tirely freed from quarantine and will open a broad avenue of tick-free territory from the Northern states to the Gulf of Mexico.

THE FARMER AND THE WAR

,. Several correspondents have sent
us clippings Of an article which has
been appearing in the Chicago and
other city papers, based upon a state
ment made by f. d. Hurlbert of the
Merchants Loan and Trust company
of Chicago. Among other things,
Mr.. Hurlbert said:
The one weak spot in the situa-
ton is the attitude of farmers. They
will neither buy Libert Bonds, pay
taxes, sell their produce. or fight. !
have asked many out-of-town bank
ers who have called here about farm
ers paying taxes, and l have learned
of but one instance in which a farm
er has paid an income tax. They
have profited throughout the entire
period of the war. but are unwilling
to help the government in any of the
Tour ways mentioned. The con
troller of the treasury has estimated
the gross income of the United States
to be about $4O.00O.000.O0O Of
this he estimates farm produce and
animals TO bring a gross revenue of
about $4,000. 100000. The farm
ers, according to this estimate are
getting 42l9 per cent OF the Coun-
try's income. and giving nothing out
of it. 1t is left for the government
to raise taxes and sell its bonds 10
the remaining 5719 per cent. while
the class which as a whole has prof
tied most escapes any burden.
The farmer has been pampered
by politicians until he seems to feel
himself in preferred class, and. as I
said, he doesn't want to buy Liberty
Bonds. he doesn't want to fight and
he avoids his income tax. II is about
time the farmer should appreciate
his position in the country. and help
do his part in a war as much for
his benefit as for those who are put
ting up the money and doing Tho
fighting for him"
This is a sample Of what is being
said in almost every city in the coun.
try and it represents the altitude OF
many of our most important daily
papers. The unfortunate thing about
II Is that many readers of such pa.
pers, who have no knowledge OF tho
actual situation. believe what they
read and hear concerning the farm

cr; and after a time it is likely to
bring about situation which will be
most perilous to the country.
If the truth could be known, we
believe it would show that in proper
ton to population there are more
farm boys in the army and navy of
the United States than boys who
come from the towns and cities. The
people in the cities, especially OF the
east, have done a lot of talking about
the war, but the boys on the farms
have done the enlisting The diff
Guilty has been, not to get them to
enlist, but to keep them on the farms
where they are so urgently needed.
When the United States entered
the war, the farmers were the first
large class of citizens appealed to.
| They were told by the administra-
ton, from the President down, that
| upon them rested the great respon-
sibility of feeding the fighters. They
were told that it was just as patriotic
to work in the fields as to carry a
gun. Meetings were held ali over
the country, and the farmer was
urged to speed up production. Fam
inc was predicted; and while the
/ farmer was working s hours a day
to avert it, the spectators in the
cities We're taking advantage of these
| ill-considered statements and max
ing their millions
The phrase your patriotic duty"
has been hurled at the farmer from
every direction. Almost every speech
made by members of the administra-
ton and for time almost all of the
printed matter sent out-and good
ness knows there has been enough of
it-has begun with this phrase. \
perfect wave of hysteria has swept
over the cities, beginning at Wash
ington. d. c., and the farmer has
been so bombarded with instructions
as to what he should do and what
he should not do, and what his clear
patriotic duty" is. that he wonders
sometimes if everybody else in the
country has gone mad. The fact of
the matter is that the farmers are
about the only class that have kept
their heads and have gone right on
doing what the others were mostly
talking about without doing.
Perhaps il is true that the farmer
has not taken as many Liberty Bonds
as his potential wealth justifies him
in taking If SO, it has not been be
cause of any lack of patriotism on
his part. It must be remembered
/ that campaigns such as those which
have been conducted to sell Liberty
/ Bonds in the cities are not very prac-
/ teal in the country In the cities
/ people can get together at noon
lunches and report on the progress of
/ the campaign and stir up enthusi-
assn, which makes it comparatively
easy to enlist other people. This can
/ not be done in the country. City
7 people also have better understand
ing OF bonds than people in the coun-
4. try. They have more active bank
ing arr gements. carry more cash
on hand, and have 70 difficulty in ar
ranging with their banks 10 borrow
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1917-11-09

yields 1t is easy to OF ganize these
| things in the cities, but difficult in
the country. City people also under
stand very we'll that they can sell the
bonds on the market on any business
day Of the year. Many city people
who are taking great credit to them
selves for having subscribed for the
bonds have no intention of holding
| them. They will quickly sell them
on the market, and they will gradu-
ally drift into the hands of the
wealthy people who are accustomed
TO investments of this sort.
We do not mean by this that the
farmer should not buy these Liberty
Bonds On the contrary. we believe
he should We believe everyone
should have a share in this loan.
What we have said is more with
view to explaining why the bonds
have not been purchased so literally
by the farmers as they have in the
cities.
As TO the income tax matter, a
Chicago banker is not very good au-
thority on the number of farmers
who are paying income tax, nor on
the number who ought to pay it.
There are, OF course, great many
farmers scattered over the country.
whose incomes have been sufficient
ly large to bring them within the
provisions of the income tax law, but
this number is insignificant COM
pared with the total number of
farmers. Under the new income tax
law, the number of farmers who
must pay will be very largely in
creased, but the returns under this
new law are not yet due.
The absurdity of the figures quot
ed by Mr.. Hurlbert, and especially
Of the application he makes of them,
is so evident that his statements are
not worthy of serious attention.
When the cost of this war has fin
ally been met, and the accounts are
balanced, we suspect it will be found
that in this, as in all past wars, the
farm er has borne the heavy burden.
Someone has said that the farmers
never begin a war but must always
finish it. We believe this will be
true of the present war. People who
are best informed concerning the en-
tire situation say that upon the farm
ers of the United States more than
upon any other one class of people
depends the successful prosecution of
this war. During the next year, the
greatest contribution the United
States can make will be in the way
of foodstuffsa 1t is very necessary
that we should raise a large army,
and it is necessary that we should
give it the very best equipment to
do its part on the battlefields of Eu-
rope, when we get it over there But
for the next six months at least, our
foodstuffs viii be worth more to the
allies in Europe than our army, and
this is no time for hysterical bankers
and politicians to abuse the farmer
Our correspondence indicates that
the farmers are getting very sick and
tired of being yelled at by every Tom
