Hail to the Soup Pot!
rom the Cleveland Plain Dealer.1 ]

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.l
Some of the woes which the con-
sumer finds himself heir to in these
days of soaring costs are due, accord
ing to a Pittsburgh woman, to 30
cety's scorn of the ancient and honor
able soup pot Reinstate the soup pot
near the family altar and bid the food
kings do their worst.
1t is savory suggestion. The soup
pot has fallen upon an unappreciative
genegation. No longer are its pleasant
odors waited through the home and
out the open windows to tempt the
passerby with an invitation he Is not at
liberty to accept. No longer may the
Youngsters of the family time the ap-
preaching dinner hour by the ripening
odors that seep from the soup pot and
form a halo about the head of its
presiding genius.
That is-in too many homes the
soup pot has disappeared. In many.
of course. 1t still exists, binding a more
frugal past to a present of easier liv-
ing The question may well be raised
as to whether the great American
soup pot is not entitled to as much in
terest among economists as they have
been wont to give to back to- tn land
propaganda and to backyard garden
ing patriotism. Along with. the home
vegetable garden. let us install the
soup pot of our ancestors wherein to
transmute the products of the former
into sustenance for soul and body.

THE FOLLY OF HATRED

TTATRED is its own executioner.
II He whose life is founded on hate
plots to his own ruin. The ra-
ton dominated by hate becomes it's
own worst enemy, and history is
marked by the graves of hate-in-
spired individuals and wrecked
,dynasties.
The hater may be ever so 'shrewd;
usually he is more than ordinarily
cunning. But there is a poison in
his brain that warps his Judgment
and which prompts him almost in
variably to overreach himself. The
war party in Germany is a striking
example of the futility of hatred in
world affairs. Germany's impending
fate is the fate of all haters. Hate is
the antithesis of love. God is love"
and love is. all-conquering. Love
your neighbor as yourself" and you
will be happier. Hate and you hate
to your own condemnation.

No Lack of Officers

[From the Boston Transcript
General Pershing succeeds General
Funston in the command of the
Southern Departments duty for which
he was naturally in line, being on the
ground and also of the rank of major
general. General Pershing has had
very thorough experience in dealing,
as far as he has ever been permitted
to deal, with the Mexican situation, and
probably no better man could be in
command on the border These are
busy days within the armys general
staff. and in the highest circles the
field command is being very actively
canvassed. The rise of both Funston
and Pershing in the service was very
rapid. Pershing graduated from West
Point in 1880, and served throughout
the Spanish-American War with the
actual rank of first lieutenant only in
the regular army, although he was
made a major of volunteers and he at
tanned captains rank only in 1901. He
was jumped over the heads of scores of
seniors to a brigade generalship in
1906 The army is fortunate in having
a great many men who are still below
abundantly capable of high command
The outbreak of hostilities with a for
eign nation would bring them to the
front. Our deficiency would not be in
the direction of capable generals, but
of competent officers below the rank
of colonel for the large army which
would have to be called into being.

INDICATED AGAIN

TIME foolish fear of an ice gorge
] and flood in the lower end of
the city as result of the sani-
tary dam in the river again has proved
to be entirely groundless. When the
ice began to attain unusual thickness
and word came from down stream
that it was piling dangerously high
at some points, there was again dis
cussion of the dam and it's possibilities
by those who cannot understand that
an obstruction of its size in the Sus-
quehanna at this point cannot pos
sibly be of any danger to property
under any conditions. The ice has
gone out, the expected flood has not
materialized, the lower end has not
been damaged and-the dam has
been vindicated once more.

remedy at law II the bill introduced
into the Senate of the Iowa Legislature
by Senator ID. C.. Chase, Webster City,

Chase is chairman.
The bill is fostered by the labor or

as a model Injunction law. 1t pro-
vides further that:
No person shall be indicted, prose
cuted or tried in any court of this
State for entering into or carrying on
any arrangement, agreement or COM

The bill declares that the labor of

labor as an employe shall be held to
be personal right and not a property
right.

THE FARM BUREAU

NRGANIZATION of Farm
Bureau in connection with the
Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce is a step in the right direction.
Farm Bureaus are no longer expert
ments. Their value, under proper
direction, has been proved in a thou
sand places and in a multitude OF
ways.
The old-fashioned farmer who be-
lieved that fathers ways were good
enough for him, who farmed by rote
and the almanac, still exists, but one
can pick out his place among the
farms of his more progressive neigh
bors. Invariably it is run down,
mortgaged to the hilt and Improbable
The modern farmer knows that the
only way to get the most out Of his
farm is to apply to agriculture the
scientific principles that govern every
line of trade and production and with
out which life as we know it to-day
would be impossible.
Farmers used to look upon the col
lege trained agriculturist with sus-
erly so. Experimentalists and
theorists without number went out to
teach the farmers how to farm, and
failed. This kind of scientific" farm
ing has gone out of fashion. The
Farm Bureau head of to-day is
practical as well as theoretical. He is
an instructor who knows his craft as
thoroughly as a school teacher does
the alphabet; he is a good mixer"
and a friend as well as counsellor;
he is an organizer and a booster for
his business and his district. Dauphin
county is fortunate in getting into
the Farm Bureau class and the
Chamber of Commerce is to be con-
graduated for having fathered the
movement. The large attendance at
the initial meeting yesterday shows
the Importance which the farmers
themselves attach to the new organ
ization.

JAPAN AND GERMANY

TT does not require the official denial
of Toxic to disprove the notion
that Japan might give ear to the
German plot to attack the United
States through Mexico. However
much Japan may look with disfavor
upon this country. and just how much
war feeling there is in Japan is not
at all apparent hostilities are at this
time unthinkable from the Japanese
viewpoint.
In the first place, Japan is tied up
with the allies to such an extent that
a separate peace with Germany at
this time is impossible. Secondly,
Japan has too big a debt and too few
resources at her command to wage
war on such gigantic scale without
loan raised in Europe. Much as
she might desire, Germany can't
finance Japan at this time in any un-
dertaking and the entente powers
would not, for the reason that they
have about all they can carry of their
own and their, sympathies would not
permit them to do so if they could.
The cunning German mind doubt
less took all these factors into con-
sideration and the fact that the plot
ting was permitted to go ahead ncver-
theless is only another proof of the
desperate state in which the Berlin
government now finds itself. A drown
ing man clutching at a straw is
good simile.

THE REAL JOY or FARMING

COME people think the joy of
y farming is in getting up with
the chickens to hoe the corn
dew glistens on the nodding timothy
and the gentle breeze ruffles the trees
just sufficiently to give the rising sun
a chance at the reddening cherries.
And there is a lot of fun in that
until along about 10 o'clock when the
sun also begins to get it's chance at
the farmers reddening nose.
Others imagine that the farmer is
happiest when he tits back in his
arm chair before roaring fire in the
evening, the while a generous supper
comfortably digests beneath his belt,
and a bowling gale without accentu-
ates the luxury of warmth and leisure
on a night so wild. And it is happy
condition - until the thought in
trudes of the necessity of getting up
about a. m. to milk the cows and
feed the stock.
But, being farmers in a very small
way ourselves - oh, very, very
small way, of course-we know when
the farmer is really in his happlest
frame of mind.
1t is when he reads that potatoes
are too expensive for anybody but the
town millionaire, that eggs are "out
of sight" that apples are selling by
the piece instead of by the peck and
that all kinds of foodstuffs are so
high in price they make a man of
moderate means feel like a bankrupt
even to look at them; it is then
when he gets up from his chair, tears
the paper in two, laughs the food
barons to scorn, makes n trip to the
smolSehouse, another to the cold-cel-
lar, brings q two-bushel basket OF
"the malings' to the big farm kitchen
and tells mother to go to 1t and "got
up real square mealP-that there is
real Joy in farming.

"BOY PLUNGER" COMES BACK
Man Deemed Down and Out Year or So Ago Has
Added Lot More to His Latest Fortune
By BRIGGS

two years later, in 1908, when he ran
corner on the cotton market In
one day he made 100000. He un-
loaded just in time to escape the crash,
crash that brought a number of
estimable spectators to a speaking
acquaintance with ruin.
Right then Livermore showed a
streak of caution, or maybe just plain
common sense. He bought a 100000
other for his wife. And he tied those
annuities up so that he couldn't bor-
row against them, mortgage them or
in any way use them for speculative
purposes. He insured himself and his
wife against the almshouse right there.
Second Filler in Cotton Failed
1t was well he did, for q little later
he took another flier in cotton and his
millions faded like the frost before
an April sun. He undertook anoth or
bull corner, but failed to put it across.
There was n time when a few hundred
thousands would have allowed him to
engineer the deal-success was that
near. But he couldn't raise the re-
quired amount. He couldn't borrow
sixty cents on those burglar-proof an
nuities he had, and so Livermore went
broke, went into debt, went into bank
ruptcy court and was figured among
the Streets many down-and-outers
AS recently as two years ago he was
lodging his many creditors and insist
ing to bankruptcy referees that his as
sets were nil or less. Where he got
the money TO start beating back has
never been divulged. Some Wall
Streeters say that the few friends OF
his gala days that still clung to him
staked him to a paltry thousand or SO
about the time the big boom started
in 1916. At any rate, Wall Street is
convinced he had nothing more than
a shoestring with which to start his
sensational recovery. But the same
Wall Street confesses that he play cd
lit with master hand.

TT was the peace note leak that en-

abled Jesse l.. Livermore, the boy
plunger" of other days, to come
back. Oliver Hartman, Livermore's
broker, revealed it the other day when
he said his client made nearly one mil
lion dollars on the break that follow
ed the peace note. He has made q
lot OF money since, according to Wall
Street information. Maybe another
million, some of them hazard.
Livermore, probably remembering
his disastrous venture in cotton, play
ed big variety of stocks-fifteen or
twenty, according to Hartman. At
one time in December he had as much
as eight millions at stake. 1t seems,
according TO information the leak in
vestigators got from Broker Hartman,
L&ermore obtained tip December 20,
that a peace note or omething ap-
proXimating it was coming out of
Washington and he started covering.
In all he covered 74,200 shares of
stock on which he had gone short.
And now Livermore has paid the Il
million dollars he owed, has a nice lit
tie balance again and is enjoying life
at Palm Beach. Just day or so ago
he hired whole train when he found
he couldn't get lower berth on the
regularly scheduled train between

Started Specializing at 16
