LETTERS TO HE EDIIO2
The Dairyman's Position.


 Mir Editor: It seems to me that so far the public has failed to grasp the great danger to the country in the present milk situation. With beef selling at SIS a hundred, and even ordinary cows at $14, it is evident that the ordinary dairymap will not trou- ble much longer to wiring from the consumer a price that will make it possible to keep on in the dairy bus mess, but will sell his cows for a price as yet unhea-rd of, and turn his attcn- ton to some other line of work where ne can make more and work no harder. As far as I can see the farmer will be better off in every way. But how about the consumer? I fear he will wake up too late.
 I am reliably informed that tax lists show that in a single town there were in 1916 but sixteen heifers as com pared with one hundred and ninety six in the previous year. The reason is easy to find. Dairying has been unprofita bIc for many years. The present price of grain means bank ruptcy if 1t continues.
 Veal has been very high. Everyone is worrying over potatoes, onions and beans, but butter, cream, cheese, and milk may easily become as scarce as potatoes were last winter.
 The milk dealer says he dares not sumner will cut down on the quantity taken. Therefore the farmer has no alternative, for in many cases he can not continue much longer in a bus mess in which he is losing money.

at once with the two billion dollar Lib- erty Loan. or by paying Garnaany the cost of her war in return for her grant of quarter to our defeated allies.
 This two billion dollar loan is a tffffe compared with the $20, ,600, ,000, 900 loaned by the English people. It Is but half the recent new French loan. subscribed for by the peasants It is email compared with the recent Ger man loan to which 5.25o, 900 German people volunteered subscriptions. But it Is colossal compared with any ferTfier American national loans.
 If the German people beat us in sub scribing for war loans, of course they will defeat us at arms.
 In the present desnerate posture of affairs it would be fatal for the masses of the people to say: Let the rich men and the banks make the loan." It would be impossible for the banks thus to convert the deposits of the people, for the commercial requirements and the industrial needs demand that the resources of tho banks be kept liquid.
 The people are the true source of wealth. and to the people the govern ment must go for this Liberty Loan. This means you.
 Your share of this obligation runs from $50 to s1oo. $500 and $f.o0o. These Liberty Loan bonds run for 15 or 30 years, as the government may later decide. They are payable in gold. They draw 31s per cent, interest. They will serve as security for loans. They will always be a quickly convert ible asset They will be simply a new form of savings account.
 The ideal way Is not to withdraw one's entire savings from the bank thus to embarrass industry, but to pledge one's self to save. Buy a Lib erty Bond from new savings, from ad tiitionai economics OF earnings. Don't be a hoarder. Be an investor in Uncle Sam's securities. Take a first rnortsaEe for $50 on the United States before the Kaiser puts war indenani- ty plaster on it
 This will not only insure the support of our fighters at the front. it will not only be a wager that Autocracy will not win, it will not only be a profitable investment for you, 1t will also insure your wages.
 Without this loan. business will surely suffer. and with this loan pros perity will be assured-
 For the government is going to spend your loan right under your nose again 10 keep you employed. as well as protected. Subscribe today.

THE ELECTION RESULT.

It was republican weather with which the city was favored for the of year" election on Monday but it was democratic sentiment that pre- vailed. and as the result the court of common council will be equally di- vided politically during the coming wear. with the deciding vote in the hands of a republican mayor. The elective municipal offices from first to last will be filled by democrats.
 It was a complete overturn pofiti cally with slightly more than the usual amount of interest manifested in a year when there was no contest for mayor, but only 104 more votes were cast than two years ago, yet 1t was these votes together with those of the electors who changed their minds in the past year who helped to roll up the democratic majority ot PA. There was a falling off in the ballots cast for the republican candf- dates and a decided gain in those for ire democrats compared with tv-e years ago. and therein lies the whole story of Mondays election. Sentiment has changed even if the politics of the voters have not. and during the coming year in the court of common council there is already good indiea- tions that there will always be on hand those or one party to check uE the doings of those of the other The responsibility will rest between these representatives and the mayor as the dissolver of ties.
 There can be To question but what the administration which the city has received during the past year was on trial. Equally so there can be nc question but what the administration has done many good things, the credit of which cannot be denied it, but taken as a whole it has not met witA approval The voters and taxpayers have weighed it in the balance and 3 substantial majority has declared against it. But regardless of the pol tiles of those elected it is the best in- terests Of the city which is aimed at or should be aimed at in every cleo ton. and let US hope that such vii result.

REGISTRATION DAY.

Today, June 5, is registration day, which means that all men between the ages of e1 and 30, inclusive, must go before the officials in the various voting districts and answer the ques- tions which are propounded by the government ip order that it may know who the men of the country are who are fit for military service and where they are located
 This registration amounts simply to census of the men between those ages and everyone is included, bar ring those in military service. It does not mean that all who register will be drafted into the army It does not mean that all who are registered will be fit for such service, but it does mean that the government is finding cut where it stands in regard to men of those ages, who of them are phy- sicalIy fit for censcription, who should be eliminated and why, in order that when the drafting is started, based upon this census, there will be se cured those who can render the best possible service to the country as sol- dierS. It Is necessary therefore that each and everyone should do his part to facilitate this work of registering, and this includes aliens as well as citizens.
 It is expected that there will be the names of 1o.0eo.ooo young men se- cured as the result of this plan. The number may be exceeded and it may fail short for many reasons. for the task of getting such a list in single day is a tremendous one, especially when it is realized that it is the first time that such 9. plan has been fol- lowed and there are certain agitators who, have so little patriotism as to lend their efforts to obstructing it re- gardless of the fact that 1t is the law of tho land
 In such times of trouble there has always been a proper response on the part of the people, and though it Is asked from less than a tenth of the population, it is te be believed that it will net fail. that loyalty exists in full measure and that it will be so manifested even though registration does not mean enlistment and does not mean that those who sign the reg istration blanks will be eligible for service.

 Mrs. Carmichael turned to her iron ing board. tested the iron against her cheek. put the iron on the gas stove and took a fresh iron, apparently un- conscious of the series of indigna mt protestations from the one at the door. Presently there was silence, then"
 Madam. I have accepted your hos pitality. therefore I will make you a present of this bottle of our narve.- ous shampoo
 Please take the 50 cents for it,'' urged Mrs. Carmichael q cannot think of accepting the shampoo for nothing.''

"oh. dear! That's the fourth ped dler this morning." Mrs. Carmichael set her iron on the stand with a sud den little air of protest, but the next instant the fretted look in her eyes
 was replaced by her usual kindly one these were troublous times and it
 might be little Mrs. Grey from the apartment above needing comfort,
 Jimmy linn Grey having just enlisted. Mrs. Carmichaefs face expressed interest. not to say sympathy, as she opened the door.
 Good morning, Mrs Carmichael" | said the person at the door. Pardon my coming to the kitchen entrance most ladies object heca use they aren't presentable this early, but get quick l CT results at the back door and-par- don me again-its a pleasure to see 1 you so neat and nice before 10 o'clock !, in the morning." The intruder was a short, stout woman and she smiled in | gratiatingly from under a shiny black 1 hat adorned with a stickup that tow | cred inches high and quivered with every motion of the bleached bond hair it topped.
 You would Ike?" Mrs. Carmichael began uncertainty.
 Thank you, my dear. I will step in and rest a minute-not one lady of a dozen so kindly invites me- The speaker i11sinuated a small foot bulg- ing out of tan slipper upon the threshold. and the next instant sank appreciatively upon the chair beside the kitchen door. Mrs. Carmichael closed 1t and stecd waiting.

logical Survey. Department Of the In terior. it is estimated that tho total quantity Of platinum In tho Lnltrd States is about 1,000,O00 ounces. be- sides which there Is over E00,00o ounces of other metals of the platinum group, principally palladium. iridium. and rhodium
 In 1918 the crude platinum mined iu Colombia, estimated at 2j,O3O ounces, was refined in the United states. and reports received from domestic renners show that 2s,O8s ounces Of metal of tho platinum group was recovered by them from all sources, foreign and domestic, of which 24,5lS ounces was platinum.
 The available supply of platinum iu the United States appears to be ade- quate to meet immediate needs. but it should be emphasized that new de rnands may arise at any Cue which the present stocks of platinum in this country could not meet.
 The jeWelry industry has voluntarily agreed to limit the use or platinum In jewelry for the duration of the war
 It may be advisable to state that industrial expansion in the future may make necessary the further curtail- ment of platinum in the manufacture of jewelry in order that an adequate supply of this metal. which is essential in many chemical industries. may be assured.

BET $50 THAT AUTocRAcY
 WON'T WIN. Purchase Peace Through the Liberty Loan, Peace on American Terns.

That the hour is dark and the inn pending crisis full of terrors for the American people is sensed by all in telligent men who realize that only by mobilizing the savings of the masses to back the American army of de- rnocracy can we triumph. first over our own fears, and second over Prus- sian rnilitarlsm.
 No matter how all this came about, we are in the war, either to achieve 2 victory for democracy, CT to go down to defeat under the power of en- trenched Central Europe, which /pro- tects itself while 1t destroys the worlds commerce with the submarine,
 The farmers of Iowa and the work CTS of Pittsburg alike must know that they cannot get out of paying, either for victory or defeat now. They'll pay dearer for defeat under an indem- nifty levied from Berlin by a victorious Germany. in case England is starved and isolated France is crushed.
 Peace is the ideal of America. Peace can be purchased now in one of two ways, either by backing our soldiers

The great GenGhis Khan overran 1t in the year 1921 and 150 years later it fell beneath the ruth l less sword of the most pit!less of Tatar potentates, Tamerlane. As early as the seventeenth century the Cos sacks had discovered the wealth of the | province and in 1717 Peter the Great, of Russia, made an unsuccessful effort to annex it to his rapidly growing dominions.
