PEACE MUST BE EQUITABLE

Peace must be framed on so eouita ble basis that the nations would not wish to disturb 1t. It must be guaranteed by destruction of Prussian military power so that the confidence of the German peo- pie shall be put in the equity of their cause and not in tbe might of their armies. better guarantee than either would be characterization of the German government.
 No one wishes to dictate to the Ger man people the form of government under which they should choose to live. But lit is right we should say that we would enter into negotiations with a free gov ernment of Germany with different at- titude of mind, and a different temper and different spirit and with less suspi- cion and more confidence than we should with a government whom we feel today to be dominated by the aggressive and arrogant spirit of Prussian militarism "All the allied governments will ir
 my judgment, be acting wisely if they
 draw that distinction in their general at
 I titude toward the discussion of peace

Since the advent Of the concrete
block industry, some rapid steps have
been made in house construction. The
special facings which it is possible to
apply to the concrete blocks make them
a solution Of almost any problem in
house building where something special
Is desired in finish. BY the use Of white
cement in connection with suitable
coloring material almost any shade or
tint may be obtained and a very close
imitation Of highly expensive stone
may be built ut a reasonable cost.
Marble, granite, sandstone and lime

MEANS LOOKING INTO FUTURE
Expert Who Has Made 4 Study Of
City Planning outlines Objects
Sought to Be Obtained.

Although a wide interest in the sub
ject Of city planning is manifest to-
day. both In Europe and America,
there appears to be uncertainty as to
what 1t precisely Is. According to a
distinguished authority whom Mr..
Lewis quotes: "City planning simply
means getting ready for the future in
city growth. It is the guidance into
proper channels Of a community's i'm
pulses toward a larger and broader
life. On the face Of it, 1t has to do
with things physical-the laying out of
streets and parks and rapid-transit
lines. But its real s%ignlca1nce is far
deeper; a proper city plan has a pow
erful influence for good upon the men
tai and moral development Of the peo-
pie. 1t is the firm base for the build
ing Of a healthy and happy COM
munity."
Mr. Lewis studies in turn, the incep-
tioRand development of this city plan
ming movement emphasizing the need
Of intrusting its successful executive
to "duly authorized city officials or q
special commissioner created for the
purpose" the correction of mistakes,
and the general problems of transpor-
tation. In the delightful chapter, Scar.
den Cities" he declares that the gar
den city movement goes much further
than to provide attractive homes for
those who live in or near large cities
or centers Of industry. 1T is really
a protest against the extreme central
ization which has lately been the ten
dency in city development" Later
chapters r devoted to a comparison
of city planning legislation in England,
Germany and the United States, the
municipal progress made under this
legislation, methods of financing a city
plan, and various municipal land poll
cies. Having indicated in the body Of
his book 'what a city plan is, how
it is developed, the various problems
to be solved and the conditions which
1t is necessary to provide for or guard
against" Mr.. Lewis points out In his
concluding chapters the opportunities
and responsibilities Of the modern me
chanical engineer, who is today max
ing "the most substantial contribution
toward the orderly development and
administration of our cities" Indeed,
he declares the basic purpose of his
book to be ITO bring home to them
this responsibility and awaken in them

"We are absolutely, t~eetotally, and

Its immoral influence. but from the

the country of such gigantic proper

the better It will be for mankind. The
billions Of dollars that are annually
spent in this country constitute one
Of the most fearful curses ever brought
upon the land, and every dollar thus
expended Is an economic waste and a
drain upon the physical, mental, moral
and financial stamina Of the country.
Moreover, the alliance Of the saloon
interests with the politics Of the coun-

GERMAN ARMY OFFICERS VIEW.

"We should not discuss moderation
with q man." writes Doctor Matthaei,
a stan physician In the German army,
and In these words he voices the gen.
eral opinion of German anti.alcohol-
lists. 1.-THE thing has long since been
settled by science. The use Of mar
cotic poisons is simply indecent and
criminal. One should always decline
to take part In any festival occasion
where drink is used. One who makes
Of a well, a slightly alcohol-sick per-
som. e., moderate drinker-should
be punished for it socially until we
can get leave to punish legally. Wills
of men made in an alcoholized or
slightly alcoholized state should be
contested. Drunkards are made by
hospital prescriptions Of alcohol. The
law should hold such hospitals legally
liable. It must be considered incOm-
patible with the honor Of a city or
government to allow the activities of
poison factories, such as breweries and
distilleries."

GOOD ROAD WORK IN WINTER
Maintenance Of Dirt Roads 10 Prob
lem Confronting Farmer-Mak-
Ing Split-Log DRAG.

One Of the problems confronting the
farmer Is the question Of maintenance
Of dirt roads. Not only should dirt
roads be maintained during the spring
and summer months, but the winter
months as we'll; especially is this true
where there is not an overabundance
Of snow. which conditions exist with
many Of u readers.
The King road drag may be used
with much benefit during the winter
months. just after thaws or rains.
Good work ran be done at this time
Of the year because the soil Is crum-
bly, or mealy and pushes easily toward
the center Of the road.
II the road has been properly cared
for during the summer and fall, 1t will
be only a slight task to drag 1t dur
ing the winter when conditions are
right. At that season Of the year there
Is little for the work team to do and
in early spring the roads will be in
shape to turn water and permit Of
early drying. In fact, the winter
dragged roads will be dry and hard in
the spring when neglected roads will
be soft, rutty and springy. There is
no best time to drag roads. Go after
the work and then drag whenever you
can during the winter; then your
roads will be in good shape next
spring. Make a split-log road drag
and keep 1t going on the highway.
d. Ward King, the inventor of the
drag, gives the following directions
for making a split.log drag: Take
the two halves Of a split log, ten or
twelve inches thick and seven to nine
feet long. Set the halves fiat sides
to the front, fasten 80 inches apart
with strong stakes, the ends Of which
are wedged in two-inch auger holes,
bored through the slabs. Put a solid
plank platform an the stakes for the
driver to stand on. The hitch is made
Of strong wire or chain, the long end
fastened to stake v e the top of the
front slab, the short end should be put
through a hole made in center Of the
slab and nea the end to prevent the
back slab fitting forward. Face four
or five feet of the ditch end of the
front slab with iron. An old wagon
tire, worn share Of road grader, or
any piece Of fiat steel will answer for
this purpose.
As a general rule, always haul the
drag at an angle Of 40 degrees, NOV
ing the dirt to the center of the road.
