DON'T HAMPER THE FARMER

Before a year has passed nearly
million men now engaged in pro-
ductive occupations will be called
TO the colors in the war for human
ity and decency. About fourth Of
this number will probably be draws
from agricultural pursuits, cattle
raising and the like. This will put
q strain on our farmers, who have
been urged TO do everything in their
power to make their lands yield
their maximum possible return.
Our farmers have responded nobly
TO the national call for all the food
they can produce, but of what use
is il to produce food supplies if they
cannot be delivered TO market?
Corn that stays in the farmers cribs,
as il was held for months during
last winter in many parts Of the
corn belt, does nobody any good.
Wheat that stays on the farms in
Kansas as it stayed last winter helps
only the rats. What is the sense of
the railroads cutting didos with the
transportation system of the country,
if the feeders Of the railroads, our
public roads tn shipping points, are
To- be neglected so that the good
work of the farmers is rendered Of
little avail by inability to get the
stun from the land into the cars?
There are a few hysterical persons
in Office who seem to think that
good roads are a luxury because
their grandfathers did not have
them. They forget that their grand
fathers did not have TO feed iOO.-
100000 American mouths, not to
mention a lot of hungry ones among
the i6,0OO.OOO people of Great Brit
ian and Ireland and the 100000 of
France. All grandfather had to do
was to supply food for 23,OOO,OOO
persons. His ways are edifying to
read about but worthless to copy
now. Why hamper the farmer who
is working from dawn to dusk to
help win the war by making him try
to haul our food supplies over roads
that grandfather knew very well
were wretched?

SOME LIBERTY LOAN ITEMS

New York banks are said by the
New York Times TO now hold very
small blocks Of Liberty Bonds. This
IL accounted for by the facts that
most Of these banks received only
relatively small amount Of the
bonds they subscribed for, and
that they have made sales TO their
customers of those they did receive
under the allotment. The fact that
these banks are not loaded down
with these bonds is regarded by the
Times as denoting very healthy
condition for the Liberty Loan bond
market as il shows that there is a
popular demand for the bonds.
The New York Sun says that the
astounding leap in the number Of
bond investors from the compare
lively small number Of bond holders
previous to the Liberty Loan Bond
sale to over four million subscribers
To the Liberty Loan, has opened the
yes of the banking world TO the
enormous possibilities which will
undoubtedly be at their disposal for
placing the second government loan.
The people, it states. have been
impressed with the advantage Of
saving and lending money to the
Government.
Postal savings in New York have
been mounting rapidly notwith-
standing numerous purchases by
small investors of Liberty Loan
Bonds. Deposits at the New York
postoflice and branches increased
nine million dollars or forty-eight
percent for the current year. and the
number of depositors now number
one hundred thirty-llve thousand.
The Cleveland Plain-Dealer Of
July Goth is authority for the state
ment that the Federal Reserve Bank
OF Cleveland has lately sold about
five and half million dollars worth
OF Liberty Loan Bonds at par and
accrued interest.
The New York financial CORE
spondent of the Philadelphia North
American predicts that Liberty
Loan Bonds will soon go TO a little
above par.
The San Francisco Chronicle
states that the Withdrawals from
banks to make the payments on the
Liberty Loan subscriptions caused
only a slight shrinkage in deposits,
the deposits for the Federal Reserve
District amounting TO over three
hundred million dollars and the
shrinkage being only one hundred
twenty-five thousand dollars. The
shrinkage, stated as due soly to the
Liberty Loan payments, will be more
than made up almost Immediately
by the redepositing of the money in
the banks.

THE wOMEN'S CAMPAIGN FOR
LIBERTY LOAN

The women of America did splen-
did work for the first issue of Lib
erty Loan Bonds and are making
preparations now for a more COM
plete organization and more thor
ough work for the next issue Of
bonds which is to be announced
later by Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo. The plan of campaign for
the next issue adopted by the Wom-
ems Liberty Loan Committee, with
headquarters at Washington, makes
the state the unit of organization
and provides for the utilization OF
established organizations in pro-
noting the sale OF. the bonds.
The committee has appointed in
each state and territorial division
OF the United States a chairman,
who will have at her command the
organizations Of women in her state
who have been banded by the state
units of the Woman's Committee Uf
the Council Of National Defense and
the Liberty Loan Committees Ut
women which were established indie
pendently during the first issue and
remaining intact for the second
campaign. Through these organi-
cations each state chairman will be
able to organize every county, city,
town or village in her state.
The general committee has also
appointed chairmen in each of the
twelve Federal Reserve banking dis
tricts in the United States. These
chairmen serve as delegates from
the Woman's Committee to the Lib
erty Loan committees of their vari-
Gus banking districts, cooperating
with the latter pertaining to the re-
lations of women to the Liberty
Loan. They also act as intermed-
diaries between the Liberty Loan
committees of their districts and the
state chairmen whose territories lie
within the Federal Reserve Dis
tricts. By means of constant CON-
municatiOns with the state chair
men the district chairmen will keep
the latter in touch with the Federal
Reserve Liberty Loan work, supple
menting the directive labors of the
Woman's Liberty Loan Committee

RED CROSS TO FILL LARGE
ORDER

AT the request of William C..
Braisted, Surgeon General Of the
United States Navy, the American
Red Cross has called upon ten OF the
larger chapters Of the society near
est New York to supply at the
earliest possible moment surgical
dressings for each Of 1888 battle
ships and destroyers. Each ship
will require thousands of CON-
presses and bandages, the entire
consignment making a total Of more
than six hundred thousand surgical
dressings.
The surgical dressings are TO be
prepared by the women workers in
the Red Cross Chapters at Chicago,
Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Washington,
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York,
Atlanta, Boston, and the Northeast
ern Division, these chapters being
chosen because their proximity to
New York will expedite delivery.
II is expected to fill the order within
the next ten days.
Women qualified in the various
chapters to make surgical dressings
are working night and day for the
rapid completion Of the work. Only
women who have taken the Red
Cross course in the making of these
bandages are eligible TO engage in
the work.
With the declaration Of war there
has been rapid increase in the num-
Der Of women taking the Red Cross
surgical dressing courses. In June,
i,iii certificates were issued to
women who had taken the course of
eight lessons of three hours each,
and i'm the first ten days of July,
1873 certificates were issued.
Each chapter will supply the bat
tleship named after that particular
state and others in which they
might have geographical interest.
Thus the Chicago chapter will sup
ply the Chicago and the Illinois.
New York will supply the New York
apd the Albany. These boxes as
completed will be shipped by chap
ters direct to the Bush Terminal at
New York for distribution to the
ships.

COOPERATIVE ROAD BUILDING

There are two systems of state
roads in California, one known as
the State Highways, which is being
constructed with the proceeds of
two bond issues, and the other
known as State Roads, constructed
with the aid of state appropriations
and generally on a cooperative
basis between the state and
county. This system of cooperation
has not been entirely satisfactory
to the State Department of Engi-
neering, according to its last report.
In some cases the state agrees TO
build a part Of road and the county
agrees to build the remainder. This
was the case of road TO Redwood
Park, one Of the attractions of San
Francisco motorists. The state
built a road which does not con-
meet any accessible points; several
miles must be constructed by county
funds before the work already done
can be of any use. The county has
agreed to complete The work, but
doubt is expressed by the state Of
flcials whether the construction will
be up to the standard adopted on
the state work. Furthermore, after
the road is completed the state has
TO assurance that il will be main
tanned. For these reasons, the De-
partment Of Engineering questions
the advisability Of appropriating
state money for the partial improve
ment of roads over which il has no
control after their completion. This
report is in line with the views OF
many authorities, whose experience
convinces them that cooperative
road building can not be carried on
successfully unless provision is
made for the completion of the roads
as single constructive operation
and for subsequent maintenance by
definitely agreed upon methods.

WHO SHALL BE HELPED BY THE
AMERICAN RED CROSSE

Many questions have arisen as TO
the attitude Of the American Red
Cross toward Germans wounded on
the battlefield, and also toward
Americans Of German origin afliliat-
ing themselves with Red Cross hos
pital units going abroad. To make
clear the attitude Of the Red Cross,
Henry p. Davidson, Chairman Of the
War Council, authorizes the follow
ing statement:
When war was declared between
the United States and Germany, the
neutrality Of the American Red Cross
Of course ended automatically. The
American Red Cross can cooperate
only behind the lines Of the armies
Of the United states and its allies.
But the Red Cross knows no such
thing as the nationality Of a woun-
ded man. Any wounded enemy
turned over TO the care Of the Amer
lean Red Cross will receive as kind
ly treatment as any friend.
The Red Cross will not only ex-
tend every aid and comfort 10 the
armies Of America and its allies, but
IL will assist in every possible way
the sick, wounded and afflicted
among the civilian population among
our allied countries. This is in con-
formily with the practice of the
Red Cross Society in every country.
As to the policy Of the Red Cross
in this country toward those Of
German origin:
The Red Cross knows no difference
and makes no distinction between
any American citizen.
Insofar as base hospital units are
concerned, the Red Cross equips and
cnlisis the personnel Of those to be
sent tn Europe To operate not only
with our own armies. but with those
of our allies. Once enlisted and
mustered into service, these units
become part of the Army Of the
United states. and there is Of course
no discrimination by the Red Cross
or the American Army against any
loyal American citizen, no matter OF
what national origin.
Our allies in Europe, however,
have requested the American State
Department not to permit persons
born in enemy countries, or Of par
ents born in an enemy country, to
travel rs civilians in any of the
Allied countries. Representations,
however. have been made by the
Red Cross. which il is hoped will
ultimately prove effective, whereby
LOYAL American citizens on Red Cross
service may be exempted from the
operation Of this rule, no matter
what the country Of their origin.
The Red Cross wants it clearly
understood that il welcomes the CO.
operation Of every loyal American,
and that il does not regard that
loyalty as measured by the country
o. his origin.

The koto and Samissn.

Japanese girls Of the upper and mid
die classes learn to play the "koto,"
while those of the lower orders usually
learn the "samisen" The "koto' is a
narrow horizontal instrument about
five feet long with u sounding board
upon which are stretched strings sup
ported by ivory bridges. 1t is played
by means Of ivory finger tips. The

The castiIian Parliament.

The term mother Of parliaments,"
applied to England. Is not quite cor.
rect. Spain had a parliament nearly
century before England, meaning
by parliament popular representation.
Such an assembly was convened in
Burgos In ll69. while England's first
assembled at Leicester In the middle
Of the thirteenth century.
The Castilian parliament did not re-
ceive hereditary mobiles. II was left to
England TO do that and To give them

were denied them by the Castilians.
