News for Nebraskans.

Announcement that Nebraska is to receive
nearly $4,000 from the apportionmcnt Of the
trail" fund of the United States made some
Nebraskans wonder whence the money comes
and for what it is to be used. 1t is derived from
rentals of pasturage and other privileges in ma
tional forest reservations and is to be spent on
roads or trails through the reserves. Many of
us didn't know that Nebraska has forest reserve,
but quite an area is set apart for that purpose
and reports from it encouraging as it is grow
ing in importance all the time. Some day the people
Of the state will wake up to the fact that one of
the great opportunities in the semi-arid region
lies in aforcstration The United States bureau
OF forestry has demonstrated that pine trees can
be grown in the sand hills, and that pasturage
comes with the pines. Success will follow when
the state takes hold of the work definitely and

Question No One Can Answer.

In another column on this page will be found
letter from reader who asks US, in good faith
we take it, lot of questions about the war, just
as il The Bee were a Delphc oracle able to
fathom all the mysteries Of the future for the en-
lightenment of the present Describing himself
as farmer, Our correspondent, for example,
wants to know whether it will be more profitable
TO put his land into corn the coming season or
keep it sown to wheat. AS farm prices must de-
pend largely upon the continuation OF war de-
mands, he also wants to know whether the war
is going to last another year and whether Ger
many is going to win or be beaten.
Now, il anyone could furnish infallible an
swers to these questions, he could make several
fortunes and he would not have to bother to
determine whether there will be more money in
wheat or corn this coming year. All the wsest
can do is to base opinions as to the future upon
what has happened in the past and to gather
correctly the impression prevailing among those
most likely to form unbiased Judgments The
only certain thing in the great European war is
that neither side has so far succeeded in accom-
plishing what it set out to do and therefore that
neither side has yet won or lost. The current
opinion is that the outcome of the war will be
determined more by exhaustion of resources at
home than by military achievement in the field,
and that the war will continue at least through
another spring and summer campaign before
either or both sides are brought to admit the
futility OF further fighting and the necessity OF
accepting the then existing situation and making
the best OF it.
notwithstanding all this peace talk is in the
air and though it does not soon materialze, it
is bound to keep conditions more or less unstable.
Since it is just barely possible the war may
terminate as suddenly as it began, shrewd bus-
ness men will not max. commitments for longer
periods than necessary, and that holds good for
farmers the same as for others.

What of the War?

Walnut, Ia, Jan. 6.-!To the Editor
of The Bee: l would like to see the
editor express himself in little piece
of foretelling, and with your position
you should be in better shape to make
guess than farmer whose business
(if he is good farmer) is not news
gatherer, and l shall give my reason
for asking this information.
have on a farm some zoo miles
west of Omaha over 100 acres of win
ter wheat and on making n careful
examination Of the fields have about
arrived at the conclusion that ,allow-
ing for the ordinary dangers of win
ter killing in January and February
my seed was of poor grade. and
shall not have more than half crop,
say ten or twelve bushels per acre.
Now then at the present price of
wheat, it would probably be as we'll to
let 1t stay in wheat, and not pillow the
land up and put it in corn, but if
wheat falls to say 80 cents, l would
on such half crop drop quite little
money.
As l have neighbor who is in the
same fix as l am, and as there are
quite sprinkling Of farmers similarly
situated, l feel sure that a straight
piece of advice would be appreciated.
Now what l want to get at is this.
Will the war last another year, and is
Germany going to be beaten? | have
been a constant reader of your paper
for several years, and other papers
also. | have. been constituting the in
formation from odds and ends that /
noticed in both that the Germans
would be the winners and that the
allies could not win. Lately, however.
a neighbor, of mine who has returned
from Rhode Island and who is a man
l rely on for speaking the truth as he
honestly sees it, tells me that the Ger
mans who are not in the army are
starving. He says that is popular
opinion there. I have for some weeks
been watching closely what a New
York paper has been saying on the
subject and ! don't know what to
think. hence as reader, would like
to ask for an opinion. What is the
real truth? Will the war go en- or
not?
This is too long to publish, there Is
no need of it,, you have lot OF peo-
pie who know how to write and like
writing, what want to know is some
thing that l feel sure many farmers
would like to know from The Bee
itself, and II is not out of idle
curiosity. POTTAwATTAMIE

of proportion that would make such an adventure
inexcusable in more experienced person. His

A Protest ON Pool Halls.

Omaha, Jan. 5.-To the Editor of
The Bee: have been watching with
a great deal of interest the work of
the dry campaign. This, however,
does not effect our young boys grow
ing up as long as cigarettes are sold
to minors and pool halls are allowed
to run. If some Of the women who
have plenty Of time to stand on the
corners and preach against the saloon
had the heart-break that some moth
ers have, they would go to the bottom
and route out as great an evil. Young
boys just in long trousers will not go
into saloons, but they will and can 20
into pool halls, whether they are Of
age or not. The pool hall is the en-
trance to the saloon and if the saloon
is closed, 1t will simply make it the
entrance to something equally as bad
Speaking from sad experience, l kaDw
that the pool hall is the first downfall
of the young. Why not start cam-
paign against the sale Of cigarettes
to minors and the pool hall where
many a boys weeks salary is spent

has worked to raise her sons to re a

Tariff Readjustment Imperative.

Each succeeding days events in the business
world, as well as in the political world, adds to
the argument for tariff readjustment. Importa-
tion Of gold, which has reached an enormous
total, and which has placed the United States in
possession of the greatest stock OF gold ever
held by any nation in the worlds history, in
creases the danger to our industry and COM
merce in the economic stress sure to follow the
ending Of the war. Clearsighted men realize this,
and are urging that we be prepared. At a dinner
in New York last week. Charles M Schwab,
speaking for the steel industry called attention
to some existing facts. The Bethlehem Steel
company ten years ago was looked upon as one
Of the big units Of the steel industry it then
employed 10000 men, while today it has 10000
on its payroll, and is adding to that list In
thirty years the steel production of the country
has multiplied fourfold, jumping from ten to
forty millions Of tons annual output, and the
men in the business say the uses for steel are
just being discovered. At Bethlehem ten years
ago the 10000 workmen drew. wages averaging
5000 per year; the 10000 now are paid an aver
age of $3.50
The other side Of the picture il that in Europe
II is also possible to produce steel, and the facul
tiSo Vi tC sSNStai HduOHs nave Dcen greatly
sharpencd by the war, and their facilities cor
respondingly extended. For the present they are
making steel for war uses; when peace comes
they will make steel for other purposes This
will bring them into direct competition with the
workmen of America. 1t will not be possible for
the nations financially exhausted by the war, no
matter how marked their economic residence, to
meet the American standard in competition This
means that unless the payrolls OF the United
States are safeguarded in time Europe will even
tually set our wage scales for US.
The steel industry may be less exposed than
others, but the general principle applies to ali
our home industries that have to meet European
competition. The tariff has not been settled and
will not be until the Intellectual Underwood law
is replaced by a measure sincerely designed for
America first.
