CHARGE FALSEHOOD
TO COAL OPERATORS


Madison, Wis, July 16.-The ILL
nois Coal Operators association and
two smaller organizations of Illinois
coal men are charged with deliber-
ate Misrepresentation of Facts as to
coal prices. in a telegram dispatched
by the Wisconsin state council of de-
tense to Secretary of War Baker.
The telegram, signed by Magnus
Swenson, chairman Of the council, as
serts that the circular of the coal men
has been sent broadcast throughout
the country quoting prices which pur-
port to have been agreed upon be-
tween the operators and the Goa men.
The telegram states that the purport-
ed agreement was one which was re-
pudiated by the government and sug-
gests to Mr.. Baker that wide pub
licity should be given the alleged
misrepresentation.
The circular is said to quote wash
ed coal, which sold last year at $1.45,
at $3.50 to 81.

Don't Contract to Sell Your Potatoes

Letters have been sent TO the secre-
taries Of the Council of Defense, warn
ing the farmers not to contract their
potatoes for the fall crop to commission
merchants Reports are to the effect
that potato dealers and commission
men are at this time contracting with
the farmers for their potato crop at
prices ranging from 90c to $1.l0 per
bushel.
1t is stated that it is the usual prac-
tice of firms of this kind to make a
contract with farmer to take his en-
tire crop and make small deposit,
anywhere from $25 TO 500 depending
upon the size of the crop. If the crop
is small and potatoes are high the buy
er will harvest and sell them, otherwise
the crop is leftin the ground to rot and
the buyer is out his deposit. The farm
ers of this county are warned not to
make contracts to sell their potatoes.

Wilhelm's Pledge

Bill said, on February first, when he
turned loose his summaries, "Now, by
the sacred iverwurst, I'll show the
world what warfare means. I'll show
the world that German might is mast
eI of the land and seas; I'll end this
fight and bring proud Britain
to her knees" And Germans took the
kaiser's word; they said, "He1l surely
cut the grass; he is peach, he is a
bird, and what he says will come to
pass. They frightened up their belts
a notch, convinced they'd cook the al
lied goose, and grimly set themselves
to watch old England begging for a
truce. The weary months have rolled
away, and on every sea her vessels
float, and England's mightier today
goat. "Six weeks or so will do the
trick" the kaiser told his hopefnl
dupes; ell make this ocean commerce
sick, and Hindenburg will can their
troops, L wonder what the Germans
say, as they toll on with frightened
belts, while Haig and NeuvilIe knock
the hay aud other stufing from their
pelts. 1 wonder if they do not hike to
battle filled with deadly rage; won
der if they would't like to put the
kaiser in a cage.

KEEP THE DOLLARS MOVING

Business is activity. Stagnatior
means decay. As there can be no life
in stagnant waters, just so there car
be none in stagnant business.
Get this fact we'll in mind. Business
activity comes not from boarding, but
from spending.
What would the world do without its
spendthrifts? They may carry a Writ,
ne to an extreme, but to the effect on
business, better far that than the
boarding of the miser.
We are urged to rally to the colors;
we are urged to enter the army of fur
rows; we are urged to consecrate our
all upon the altar of our country, and
we are urged to practice the strictest
kind of economy.
The advice is conflicting. Our adYis-
ors should employ different term
from economy" 1t is right that we
eliminate wanton waste that
brings good to none.
But uitspending? Never! That way
lies business stagnation, want and ul-
innate panic.
Imagine a community entirely indie
pendent of the outside world. 1t has
a com bind capital of 100000 which is
sufficient to carry on all OF its bust
ness. But the cry of .'hard times"
goes out; purses are closed, and the
result is inevitable
The world is composed of commune
ties. In and between these communi-
ties the public life blood (goldl must
flow if life be sustained. But stop the
flow of that lite blood and industrial
decay and death is the inevitable re-
suit.
~ assW We must earn, and keep on earning.
And equally important, we must spend,
and keep on spending. Not waste; not
reckless extravaganza, but systematic,
intelligent spending, that shall keep
the golden life blood bounding through
the commercial arteries of the nation,
stimulating every nook and corner of
the land to well nigh superhuman
exertion.
We must keep the armies of dollars
moving it we would keep the living
armies progressing. The idleness OF
one will insure the impotence of the
other.

WASHING DISEASE AWAY

TO most of us it is surprising to
learn how much attention the medical
officers in the French battlefelds give
to personal cleanliness of the soldiers
as disease preventative 1t would al
most seem to one not initiated in the
ways of war, that so many big things
need to be done that minor necessities
like baths for example, might be sus-
pended, or at least be made matter
of convenience, Not so, however.
Partly because typhus fever is spread
by lice, the greatest care is exercised
to provide bathing facilities, The
French, furthermore, maintain bar
bers to complete the toilet of the men
by trimming the hair. How difficult
the bathing may be is indicated by the
following from an article on Military
Sanitation" in the American Journal
of Public Health:
1.-The water is warmed on the cook
FIRE and the men are brought in in
groups of ten, made to undress and are
scrubbed. In especially unfayerabls
conditions in cold weather. the bathing
may be done in the Stablss where the
heat from the animals will maintain =
comfortable temperature.
I'm theory, atleast, the French in
sist much more strongly than the Brit
ish upon the cleanliness of the SOL
der. More than once day he is re-
quired to wash hands and feet clean
nails and comb hair. Mouth and teeth
are washed, in the absence of brush.
with a soap solution and rinsed. There
should be daily bath. At least every
week the men are required to take q
shower bath. The soldier is also re-
quired TO frequently wash his cloth
ing
Cleanliness of hands an6 teeth, espe-
cially, is great health agency. If
soldiers living under present war con-
iitions are required 10 attend such dis
ease prevention measures, certainly, We
who stay at home among relatively
luxurious surroundings, should find =
way to do no less for our health's
sake.

LITTLE PROSPECT OF PEACE

We. hear mach of the desire of the
waring nations for peace, especially
Germany and Austria, and nothing
could give this country greater salts
faction. But glance at conditions as
they are will convince the most OPTIC
mistic that peace is still a long way off.
In the frat place, the map of Europe
and other parts of the world has been
much changed since this war begun.
While Germany has lost her colonial
possessions, she occupies other territory
which, in the event she can hold it, will
doubtless mean more to her than that
which she has lost Great Britain will
scarcely consent to relinquish the Ger
man territory she has conquered, nor
will France make yeace without a. res
toration by Germany of Alsace-Lor-
raine. Japan has Kia-Chau, taken
from Germany, and German armies are
overrunning large portions of Russian
territory
Again, there has been no intimation
that either the central or entente pow
ers would agree to a peace without in
demnity. And the matter of indemni-
ty is a mountain of difficulty in the way
of peace negotians. Billions have been
spent by each side, and the best blood
of all nations has been spilled. That
each would contend for indemnity UNI
less conquered outright there can be no
shadow of doubt. That neither would
even think of granting indemnity there
can also be no doubt
With this state of affairs prevailing,
and with the greatest bitterness and
hatred existing that the world has ever
experienced, it looks as though the
only hope for peace is clean victory
for one side or the other,
That being the ease, what is the con-
dition facing the allies?
First. it must be admitted thai Ger
many is far from an exhausted nation,
however much we may hope that such
is the case. The tenacity with which
she holds to her. position in the face of
the staggering onslaughts of the French
and English is ample proof of this.
Again, it becomes more apparent that
little reliance can be placed in Russia
as a positive, aggressive force. She
may keep up a semblenee of offensive,
bnt unless she greatly improves, that
will be all. She has too many forcess
within her borders pulling in different
directions. In time she may harmonise
these. but it viii take time, and her
adds needed ncwif it is to be of any.
benefit.
Viewed from any angle we may view
it, the conflict nArrows down to finish
with the United States as a deciding
factor.
