cold cream one can prepare a full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon

OUT OF THE CRUCIBLE.

The ship yards will be kept busy
for years to come supplying the
ships now being sent to the bot
tom Of the Atlantic. There will
be way to remove the dangers
ef submarine warfare before this
thing goes much further. After
the war becomes a finished guam
tity, the world will be busy for
many years, trying to get back to
normal conditions. The produc-
tive capacity of every country will
be stretched to its last capacity,
and the farming business will be
conducted according to scientific
methods, and there must be an in
terchange of commodities, which
will require the rapid movement
Of ships in and out Of every port.
Germany will be the only suf-
ferer, because no other country
will deal with her. Since the r.
peated outrages inflicted upon
other countries. each of them have
provided to produce and manufac-
ture everything formerly import
ed from that country, and will
therefore remove the necessity of
having to purchase anything
"made in Germany" Her navy
will have be wiped out; her mer-
chant ships will be owned by other
countries, claimed as prizes of
war, her manufactures will be
without a market, and she will be
hemmed in between the fires OF
hate that will burn for genera
tons to come, her people will be
without means, and will therefore
scatter to other parts of the world
in a hunt for prosperity and peace.
and the kaiser's empire will pass
beyond the vale as a power for
evil, outrage and conquest.
The Germany of yesterday, the
Germany of today and the Ger
many Of tomorrow will be three |
different propositions. 1t will
simply pass from view as the
greatest single power on earth,
and it will almost consume the
power and energy of the balance
of the earth to bring her to terms
of peace that will be a guarantee
for the permanent stability of the
worlds affairs.
Blinded by a mermeristic adj
miration for the man whom they |
think is in partnership with God
and the promise and hope of
wealth taken from others in the
shape of conquest and indemnities,
the German people have blindly
followed the orders Of the kaiser,
and marched to their death. 1t
will be a fight to finish; there
will be no surrender except by a
complete slaughter, and that I'M
fortunate occurrence will soon be
Forthcoming. Germany cannot
stand against the shooting and
the do or die determination of the
allied armies, and if that country |
hopes to save its hide, the people
had better be asking for any kind |
of terms of peace that their OPP
ponents are willing to give. The i
day has passed for them to state,
what are you willing to give, and
then we will tell YOU what we will
take. Waterman.

SUGAR INDUSTRY IS CALLED
FOR WAR DUTY.

In addition, the federal food ad
ministration urged a general econ
omy in the use of sugar in order t.
| avert a possible shortage which i,
not threatened by scarcity of pro
duction, but by the difficulties IL
the way of shipping the sugar
especially from Cuba and Hawaii
once it is produced.
These, however, are only few
of the topics which will be dis
cussed at the big meeting on Sept
II, which it was announced was
called at the request of the cane
growers for "a full and free dis
cussion of everything connected
with the industry"
Among the other important
tasks facing the Louisiana Food
Administration is the great in
ventory of the available food sup
ply in Louisiana which will begin
on Oct. IA, Mr.. Parker announced
Tuesday.
The plan of scheduling such
food material as is on hand or def
initely in prospect originated with
the Louisiana food administration,
but it is expected that the adj
ministrations Of other states will
follow the lead set in Louisiana, so
that general survey of the avail
able food supply of the entire ma
ton may be made.
Letter Shows How
Food Is Held Up.
The prospect of this inventory
has brought some interesting con-
ditions to light already in Louisi-
ana. Particularly has it called
forth letters of inquiry from peo-
pie who are making the first SER
ious and anxious investigation as
to whether or not they themselves
are breaking the law.
On Tuesday morning, for in
stance, Mr.. Parker received a let
ter from man whose name was not
made public, inquiring as to his
status under the law.
81 use about 200 to $50 barrels
Of -four a month, F." the letter
reads, "and | have now on hand
something over l 400 barrels. Does
this mean that | have broken the
law? If suit were to be brought
against me on this count, l would
be ruined. F."
According to the strict letter
If the law" Mr.. Parker explained,
which specifically provides that
for no more than thirty
days in advance may be stored
this man is subject to prosecution
But it is OF the desire Of the Food
Administration of Louisiana to
infict needless hardships where
unwilling infractions of the law
have occurred. Every individual
case will be judged on it's own
merits or dement's.

Consider Future Production

The power to tax is the power to
destroy This old maxim is plainly in
,he minds of some Legislators at
Washington, and they hope to exer-
else this power to its limit The pro
posal to exact eighty or ninety per
cent of profits at the outset of the war
leaving only the beggarly remainder
for further exactions and for the
maintenance of the business, would,
if adopted, spell immediate disaster
for the whole industrial fabric Of the
nation. It would put many an enter
prise in a position where one accident,
one fire, one bit Of bad judgment in
buying or in manufacturing or in sell
ing, might result in a deficit next
year; and it would surely put q we'll
nigh prohibitive price upon additional
capital, if it should be needed. The
Bethlehem Steel Co., one of the most
mctcorically prosperous Of all the war
brides, is paying eight per cent for
the new money which is necessary for
it to develop its plants so as to handle
its share of the new business which
the war is compelling the government
to place. What would a weaker con-
cern have to pay if its profits were
to be taken down to a margin where
its capacity to enlarge at its own ex-
pensc would be practically nothing?

Some Practical Economies

The Raleigh, North Carolina, News

article on the soy bean industry and
says that soy beans are now grown
successfully in every county of that
state. 1t also makes the comment
that 100000 gallons of soy bean oil
were imported into this country last
year from Asia. We would suggest
that the good people Of North Caro-
lima communicate these facts to Sen
ator Simmons of that state who is
chairman of the senate finance COM
mittee, and, as such, is the principal
factor in the making of tariff law.
Notwithstanding the fact that a tar
if bill must originate in the House,
its most important features are some
times determined in the senate. We
would also suggest that those people
in North Carolina who want to see
North Carolina soy bean oil substitut-

A Wise Order

Pretty much the whole country will
approve the order extending the list
of articles for which license will be
required for shipments abroad. The
new list includes cotton, which should
have been included from the first. We
are in this war to win and one Of our
most effective weapons is the limita-
tion Of shipments Of foodstuffs and
articles used in the manufacture Of
munitions. So long as we are abso-
lutely sure that none Of these com
modities find their way from this
country to Germany, we are helping TO
win the war. We delayed far too
long action in this respect.

STABLE PRICES WARRANT THE
HEAVY PLANTING OF FALL
WHEAT
High Cost of Seed Makes II Advisable
to Exercise More Care in Prepar-
ing Seed Bed

The assurance of sable prices for
wheat for at least another year war
rants a large planting Of fall wheat
Seed is expensive, consequently justi-
flying more care than in normal times
in the preparation Of the seed bed.
When this article reaches the press,
it will be too late to do all of the
operations necessary to prepare a
good seed bed. The first operation is
early fall plowing, thoroughly work
ing down the plowing with disk and
harrow into n seed bed which is COM
pactcd below and is left fairly rough
or coarsely granular at the surface.
Planting fall wheat should be done
with the disk drill with the proper
amount Of seed for the particular con-
ditions under which tho wheat is to be
planted.
In most Of our Colorado -erritory
only Turkey Rcd seed should be used.
For dry lands 80 to 30 ID. is amply
sufficient, and in a few localities is
too heavy an amount to use. For ir-
rigated conditions 60 lbs. per acre is
required. Seeding should be begun
by the middle Of September for best
results. Whenever possible, drilling
should be done crosswise Of the dir2c-
tion Of prevailing winds and left rough
after the drill. If blowing takes place
to any extent, q very rough corrugat-
ed roller can be run crosswise 70 the
direction Of prevailing winds with help
