IT'S UP TO THE L. S.

The facts in the case are that the
German miltarists didn't believe that
II would be possible for England and
France to do in two and a half years
in a military way the things the Ger
mans have been forty years in doing.
They were mistaken in this assump-
ton The German armies have been
outgeneraled, outclassed German re-
sources in munitions have been exceed
ed by the English and the French. And
still the militarists want their people
to believe that America can not be
effective in the face of the record es-
tablished by the English and the
French
The important consideration for
America in this situation is TO push
preparation 10 the limit Let there be
no delays and no Sinking. The kaiser
is using his last resources and Ameri-
ca is the reserve Of the allies. The
allies can not lose if we do our duty
America literally holds the destiny of
the world in her hands. lie us not fail
in any way to do all that lies within
our power TO win this war for civiliza-
ton and democracy
THE SPUDS DROPPED QUICKLY.
waterloo Times Tribune.1
j The other day an eastern railway
found that it had in its Philadelphia
yards $50 cars of potatoes, on which
demurrage was being paid. The pota
toes were being held SO that the mar
ket would not be "swamped. Prices
were made by the wholesalers and were
being maintained. The railway needed
the cars. It informed the dealers that
no more potatoes would be brought in
until the cars were unloaded. The deal
ers had potatoes up in New Jersey
bought and ready for shipment Some
thing must be done. They unloaded and
potatoes dropped % per cent in price
This is an object lesson in the high
cost of living. Not only an object lesson
as to food but as to other things. If
the railways had told coal spectators
last fall that their cars must be I'M
loaded when held in the yards, there
would have been different story as
to coal prices, first because the spec
ulators would have had to get the coal
on the market and second, because the
railways would have the cars released
and into service.
The country is getting wise to all
this. 1t is safe to say what happened
last year will not happen this year
nor ever again

Thousands of men and women OF noble
worth never darkened u college door.
And many Of those who enter these in
stitutions do not go far or do much
worth while. But these facts in no
wise change the value Of an education
Education for the individual does Just
what the lapidary does for the dia-
mond-brings out the beauty ana
worth. OF course the lapidary could
do little with stone which had no
original worth. And so education can
do little for the Individual who has
nothing to build on. But the diamond
of great value only begins to sparkle
and serve mankind after 1t Is polished.
And SO the man Of intrinsic worth only
reaches his maximum power to serve
when he has been educated to the limit
of his capacity.
If there are young men In this coun-
try today who are debating the ques.
ton of continuing their educationa!
work or going into business, by all
means let them decide to go on with
their education. There is nothing IN
this world which pays such worth
while dividends as an education.

the long controversy over this high

point that the company was not priv,

In the lower court a ruling was
made that the company was entitled

higher tribunal remanded the case
