The soaring food prices in this
country appear to be mostly due tc
the greed Of SPECTATORS, encouraged
by the hysteria Of consumers much
more than to any real shortage in
supply. The specula tors first started
the ball rolling by raising prices on
the plea that the war was causing
q shortage, and creating the fear in
the public mind that we were in dam
ger Of famine. Then as an act of self
protection the consumers commenced
laying in supplies for the future, and
this gave the SPECTATORS another ex-
,cuse to boost prices. If congress
would at once fxaa maximum price for
food stuffs the consumers would not
feel the necessity Of boarding for fu-
ture use and the speculatots would see
no profit in trying to corner the mar
ket. The supply would then be placed
on the market instead Of being held
for speculative purposes. and there
would be plenty for all at reasoLable
prices. It is time for congress to act
at once.

HORSE LABOR ON FARMS.
National Crop Improvement seryIes.l

National Crop Improvement Servlcc.1
On the grain farm the heaviest
work for the horses comes in April.
May and in August, September and.
October. The rest Of the time there
is practically nothing for the horses
to do. But enough horses have to be.
kept during the year to take care OF
the work during these busy months.
When averaged up the horse on the
grain farm only works three hours a
day. These figures were secured in an
investigation by the Minnesota Exper-
iment Station, under the direction of
Thomas Cooper, now director of the
North Dakota Experiment Station. In
this same investigation 1t was found
that when the crops are diversified,
the horse labor is better distributed.
There is less work for the horses In
the seasons that are the busiest on
the all-grain farm. and there is work
or the horses when there is no work
for the horses on the all-grain farm.

TWO GERMANYs.
Irwin S. Cobb in Saturday
Evening Post.

We have got to remember that the
Germany with which we have broken
is not the Germany of Heine and
Goethe and Haeckel and Beethoven
not the Germany that gave US Steub-
en- in the Revolutionary war, and
Sigel and Schurz in the Civil war
not the Germany of true sentimental,
chivalrous, lovable Saxon, or yet Of
the music-loving, home loving Bavar-
ian; not the Germany that was the
birthplace of the kindly, honorable,
Industrious, patriotic German-speak-
ing neighbor around the corner from
you-but the fanatical, tyrannical,
power-mad, blood-and-iron Prussian-
lied Germany of Bismarck and Won
Bernhard, of the Crown Prince and
the Junkers-that passionate Pruss-
ianized Germany which for forty
years, through the instrumentality of
its ruling classes-not necessarily
it's Kaiser, but its real ruling
classes has been jealously striving
to pervert every native ounce of it's
scientific and its inventive and its
creative genius out of the paths of
progress and civilization and to join it
into the grooves of the greatest auto
cratic machine, the greatest organism
for killing off human beings, the
greatest engine Of misbegetten and
m isdirected efficiency that was ever
created in the world. Because we
have an admiration for one of these
two Germanys is no more a reason
why we should abate our indignation
and our detestation for the other Ger
many than that because man loves
q CHEEKY blaze upon his hearthstone
he should refuse to fight forest fire.

They are: first, preventing the weeds

The selective conscription bill
recommended by President Wilson
was passed by both houses Of con-
gress last Saturday, but the bill in
the senate fixed the age limit of those
subject to draft at from 81 to 27,
while the house bill made it q to
40. This. made it necessary for the
bill to go to conference committee.
In the senate there were only eight
votes against the bill and in the
house only 81. Senator LaFollette
offered an amendment to exempt from
conscription all those having conscien-
tious objections to military service
but the amendment was voted down
by big majority.
Under the selective system it is ex-
pected that each state will be required
to furnish its pro rata share Of men.
A list Of all eligible to draft will be
made and from this list the required
number will be selected, the purpose
being to exempt those whose services
will be most needed at home. In this
warit is realized that tits not only
men on the firing line that is needed,
but food products Nand war supplies.

The plan advocated by President
Wilson. and supported by some mem
bers of congress to pay the expenses
of the war by an increase in taxation
would seem to be very unwise. With
the cost Of living soaring to the skies.
and our industries crippled by the
scarcity of labor due to the men be-
ing employed in military pursuits it
is very poor time to add an extra
burden of taxation. Better fight the
bates on credit, and pay the debt
after prices and industrial conditions
have resumed normal condition after
the war.
