FUTURE LAND BANKS

A deep look into the farm loan act
will discover that in the course OF
time the farmers themselves are to
become owners Of farm land banks.
The natiohal treasury furnishes the
funds with which eacn OF the dis
trict banks, twelve in all, begins busi-
ness.
But In due time the money thus
advanced is to be paid back into the
treasury. When this occurs, the
banks will be managed by the farm
ers, under the law of course, and in
large measure will be operating on
farmers money. The farmers really
will be doing a cooperative banking
business among themselves.
Since nobody is making any profit
from these transactions, It seems
clear that the farmers are to get
their loans at the lowest possible
Fate-namely, the actual cost of ad.
ministration, which promises to be
about one-half Of one per cent. Now
that the rate Of interest has been
fixed at 5 per cent, doubtless the
land banks business will grow very
rapidly.

THE TIN CAN PROBLEM.

It is surprising how, when you try
to speed up industrial activity, one
defect after another shows itself in
the system of organization. 1t is
about like mending an old pair OF
shoes. If you repair the sole, then
the heel gives out. Next the upper
cracks, and by the time that has been
patched the stitching falls apart.
But wonders can be accomplished
with our American capacity for ad-
justment. One Of the minor defects
in our organization for war is now
the shortage of tin for canning pur-
poses. There is a nationwide cam
paign to popularize the use Of paper,
fiber and other containers. With the
government food organization mobil-
izing women and children for can
ming food products, largely in
creased food supply in this form
should be available. But II tin is
going to be scarce, the canned
produce will fall short for lack of a
hitherto despised material.
The tin can has been regarded as
about the lowest form of value, In
the popular mind 1t is the constituent
OF dump heaps, something that bad
boys attach to the tails of homeless
dogs and cats, and the legendary food
of the goat. Many house built on
filled-in land really rests on a sub.
soil of tin cans. A back yard filled
with them represents about the abom.
ination of desolation, and 1t is hard
to realize that this represents ma
terial of vital value.
You begin to realize 1t when al
the automobile garage they will sell
you a given quantity of oil for 70
cents, II you bring your own can, but
II you expect the product to be put
in container they will ask 80 cents.
So far there has been no tin-saving
campaign, but we may have to come
TO It. Meanwhile the public is re-
minded that every time It buys a
double quantity Of anything in a sim
gle container 1t gets lower price on
its product and helps save a valu-
able and scarce material.

Niezsche wrcte his treatise ridicul-
ing the teaching that God is Love"
as asserted that God is force" and
taught that: might makes right.
One must resist all sentimental weak
ness. Life is the essence of appropri-
alton, injury, the overpowering Of
whatever is foreign to us and weaker
than ourselves, suppression, hard
ness, the forcing upon others Of our
own forms, the Incorporation of 9TH
ers, or, at the very least and mildest,
their exploitation"
Since the great war has been In
progress the German philosophers
have not ceased to teach that the
God Of Germany is god Of force.
They rejoice in war and pillage and
proclaim that the only acceptable
peace will be that which gives
breathing space between two glori-
Gus wars. Eve nuts not look for
permanent peace after the war"
writes Smitz. Heaven defend Ger
many from that"
Phillip asserted proudly after the
German conquest of Russian Poland
in 1915 that henceforth the coat of
civilization would be patterned by
German tailors. To him the triumph
of the gospel Of force was assured.
Formerly German thought was Sc
cluded in corner Of the universe,
he wrote; "but now the world shall
have its garments cut according to
the German measure, and as far as
our swords flash and German blood
flows the circle of the earth shall
come under German tutelage."
There has been less boasting and
more humility this summer The
German writer's now assert that Ger
many stands before the world as the
apostle of peace. Pastor Rump fer
vently exclaims, eve Germans are
fighting-thanks and praise be to
God-for the cause of the Christ
child within mankind" The disciples
of force are silenced, but not convinc-
ed, for the idea Of German kultur is
bred in the Prussian bone. It is only
by a superior force that this idol can
be overthrown. A peace which leaves
either the idol or its pedestal stand
ing will be only that short peace be-
tween "two glorious wars" that Prus-
sian militarism so deeply desires.

A NOBLE LAD.

He marched away to battle,
For he was a noble lad;
AS he bid farewell to his mother
He didn't forget his dad.
He said he'd remember teachings,
And promised he wouldn't be
The boy who was good to his mother
And didn't forget his dad.
He did not have the swell head,
Although ability he had
The boy who was good to his mother
And didn't forget his dad.
He wasn't the grinning, sissy kind,
When dressed in his olive drab-
The boy who was good to his mother
And didn't forget his dad.
And when the war is over
And victory is won,
I hope they'll be united and happy,
Father, mother and son.
