THE WESTERN FARMER
"BUCKING."

A new complication has risen in
the enforcement of the Food bill not
contemplated or provided for by the
makers of the bill. The western wheat
growers have refused, so the papers
state, to take 1920 bushel for their
wheat, and are holding for higher
price.
Last year they received about half
as much, and were not only satisfied
but congratulated themselves highly
that they were getting such prices.
Now they are kicking at 1920. The
farmer who can't make money raising
wheat at 1920 per bushel had better
quit and go at something else, but the
trouble seems to be the farmers of
the west, like a number of other
supposedly good, square people, want
the lions share. The poor consumer
must look out for himself.

TORPEDOED

"The Party of Moral Reform" has
had more wind knocked out of its
sails, right in the beginning CT the
voyage.
The Richmond Virginian, the lead,
err and champion of the Anti-Saloon
League and the prohibition forces OF
the State, has come out squarely and
lined up behind Mr.. Davis the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor. OF
course, the Democrats expected the
Virginian to do just this thing, al
though come doubt was expressed
during the campaign on the part Of
some. The Virginian's opposition t.
Mr.. Davis was made solely on the
grounds, as we understood at the
time, that while declaring his unal
terable and determined purpose to
enforce prohibition laws Of tie State
along with all other laws so far as
his power should extend, pcrsistcntly
declined to declare himself il. favor
of statewide "bone-dry' prohibi.
bition.
The Virginian, nor any other Dem
ocratic paper in the state Mt any
time even limited that Mr.. Davis, il
nominated would not receive its sup
port. The party will line up solidly
behind the nominee, and thus make
Jordon harder road to travel fol-
the party nominee of the great
"Moral Reform" party of the state
and before the campaign ends the
sails of this hapless ship will flnI
in dead calm on the sea. After tho
campaign is over however, stiff
breeze will set in steady and strong
up Salt River.

THE PRESIDENTS PURPOSE.
(The independently

A large part of the criticism of the
Presidents policy seems to be based
upon the idea that he is trying ia
shield the German people from a
merited punishment by throwing all
the guilt upon their rulers. Now this
is an absurd idea, for like much of the
criticism directed against the Presi-
dent it assumes that he is an igno-
ramus. We have had presidents who
might have ben criticized for lack of
acquaintance with foreign affairs, but
they had not been teaching the subject
for twenty-five years. When q writer
wants to refresh his mind on the con-
stitution Of the German Empire in
order to convict the President of ig-
norance Of this subject he will prob
ably refer to that handy little volume
entitled "The State" and perhaps
without noticing that's it's author was
Woodrow Wilson. 1t may fairly be
assumed that Mr.. Wilson has not for
gotten what he then knew about the
Rcichstag franchise. He knows as well
as any of his critice how far that body
represents the people and he knows
better than ay of them who were the
active agents in starting the war.
But the question is not who made
the war, but who can make peace
Whatever may be the answer to the
first question, the answer to the
second question is "the German peo-
pie" Consequently we are not con-
cerned with the Kaiser but with the
people. A war is not court of Justice.
A war cannot pass upon the guilt or
innocence of any one; it can never de-
eide question of right or wrong. We
have no desire to convict or convince
Germany. We only desire to make
Germany powerless to harm the world.
1t would not be worth continuing the
fighting an hour to extort document
signed by the Kaiser and counter
signed by Bethmann-Hollweg, Tirpitz
and Moltke acknowledging their guilt.
repenting of their deeds and teseech-
ing pardon of God and man. Such a
document would be, indeed, "a scrap
of paper" If the whole German people
or such of them as wished for war
should put on sackcloth and ashes and
cry "Peccavi" b. the hour it would
not make particle of difference with
our peace terms. Such repentance
might perhaps alleviate their lot in
the next world, butt may be wicked
but that's how we feel-we do not
care much to have their lot alleviated.
Somehow we do not take so friendly
an interest in Germans as we used to
and we do not care any more how they
feel or what they think. The war
against them is to secure PREPARATION
Tor damages and guarantees for the
future, not conviction of sin and prom
Uses OF reform. 1t would be useless if
not hopeless to strive for the latter.
but there is god prospect of getting
the former if we encourage that part

THE RUSSIAN AS A BUSINESS
MAN.

ION the wharves ut Archangel are
thousands of crates from America,
scores of them stenciled in red, This
side up Glass use no hooks,
Handle with care Imagine the be-
wilderment of the moujik longshore-
man ut such signsl He hasn't the
slightest notion what they are all
about; so he Yields his hook valiantly
and tumbles the case upside down,
and laughs at the funny tinkle the
crate makes inside" And this, says
Richardson Wright in The Russians
(Frederick A Stokes Company, is
one of the main reasons that the be-
forehanded German merchants have
captured the bulk of trade with
Russia. They have been to Russia
and they know what strange thing
is Russian business.
"In dealing with Russian merch.
ants, an American must remember
there are methods of business widely
differing from his own. The Russian
merchant is accustomed to the inter.
minably slow methods of the East
to haggling, and to having a thor.
oughly good time.
ENTER a Russian bank, for example
You step up to the cash window ant
present your checkc. A bit languidly
the teller receives your powers ant
asks you to wait. You retire to {
corner. Fifteen minutes pass, twenty
half an hour. You step up to thu
window. The teller and the othel
snacks of luncheon. You go back t.
your seat, wondering what it is 81
about. Finally, when tea is over, tn,
matter of your checks is taken up
81 am often tempted to think thai
one reason why the Russian merchant
is such poor business man is thai
he is too fond of enjoying himself.
: "There is another way of looking
at the same situation. The Russian
has learned salient truth that Amer
leans utterly lack. He believes
acts accordingly-that it is far NOR,
important to make life than max,

HERES A WAY TO SAVE
DOCTOR BILLS.

It's a matter of general interest
just now how ones physical condition
can be got into shape to best receive
the benefits of the. summer season.
Especially is this true of the children.
They have become run down by a
winter of unnatural manner of living
because of ill-considered food and
much time spent indoors. String
comes with it's sunshine, it's fresh
vegetables and all else invieoratinp.
butthe children are in no condition to-
receive natures remedies.
Many parents call in the family
physician. Many other parents take
advantage of what the physician told
them when he was first called in con-
sulation. All good family physicians
say: "Give the children Castoria."
Healthy parents know this remedy of
old, for they took it themselves as
children. 1t was more than thirty
years ago that Castoria made place
for itself in the household. 1t bore
the signature of Charles II. Fletcher
then, as it does today. The signature
is its guarantee, which is accepted in
thousands Of homes where there are
children.

SAVING COAL"

The Clinch Valley News has repea-
tedly called attention to the wastagC
in the use Of coal rs we'll as other
things about the house Now comes
such paper as the New York World
and argues the same thing. Read the
editorial from the Daily World of
last Friday:
A conservation campaign planned
from Washington gives notice that
Government attention to the coal
problem does not stop with naming
maximum prices to producers. The
consumer must do his part-which
he should do the more willingly since
he will profit.
Americans will not for the present
be asked to leave railway cars I'M
heated and most rooms in their houses
fireless, as the English did last win
ter to spare coal for France; but
given normal autumn weather they
may be asked to put off lighting fur
naces as long as possible. An aver
age of three days coal saved in mil
lions of families would mount up to
tremendous economy.
More yet can be done by better
methods of stocking, of banking fires
at night. of using hampers or install
ling them where there are none. Is
there any other land that habitually
sends solarge percentage of its
heat up the chimney? Compared with
our furnaces, the huge porcelain
stoves of Central Europe are marvels
of thrift.
Asbestos wrappings of pipes, the
sitting out of cinders to keep fires
going in moderate weather, exact
methods to produce steam OF hot air
with the least fuel, have ben ne
elected branches in American edu-
cation. Students may pay more at
tention now that they have been in
cluded in the long list of things to
be cheerfully done for our country
at war.

THE TOWN DUMP AND RATS

The town has n plot of ground ont
near the cemetery, which is a bree-
ding place for mammouth race OF
rats and perhaps all sorts of other
pests. The plot is used as dumping
place for the rubbish collected from
the town. There is no sort of iltb
that cannot be found there. Last wear
and the year before, the corn patches
nearby were infested with rats from
TINS dump, and much corn DESTROYED.
Inc rats are giant fellows. They
climb the stalks and eat the ears
ciean-worse than squirrels. They
IRE there again this season and at
their work of destruction. A dumping
plot is necessary but pity it could not
have been placed elsewhere than in
between town lots and garden plots
and near the residences of the people
Tha town Council should instruct
the Sergeant to saturate this dunn
with Kerosene oil and burn out these
pests that are destroying crops in
tne neighborhood and sending out
their broods to infest the town and
community, and they should do So
at once. They will continue to DESTROY
the corn there until it is shucked ont
and then get up in the. wagons and
follow the corn to the cribs.

MAKING CONVERSATION.

A book has been written for The
sake of bashful or reticent people who
long, secretly, to take vigorous
clear-voiced, tirelcss Part in polite
conversation.
Say you are at dinner-pcrty.
What author made one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars wear by her
pen?" you say, breaking into brief
lull in the talk. Immediately the at
tention of the table is focused on YOU
The system laid out by the book
which gives One Thousand Literary
Questions, is enough to keep even q
rapid talker busy for year of din
nerS.
The Nations comment on the book
is:
Here are n thousand enemies of
social intercourse marshaled in u solid
battalion of boredom. Facts are the
death of conversation. They are i'm
modest and blatant They will not be
denied. You're another is their only
answer, which ut once transfers the
struggle into physical realms. Facts
awe US. What is more, they are con-
tagious. Their use leads to reprisal.
IF, on mere mention of DR.. John
son, Fact-Hun Unexpectedly lands

to the effect that 'Dr. j. is supposed
to have written 'Rasselas' in n Single
night to defray the funeral expenses

with shower of bombs, true or un-
true, about all the other poets who

rents. The only satisfaction in having
