TAKE CARE. BEWARE!

In the old days of lottery tickets,
II a man won high prize, that fact
was good for the sale of hundreds
of tickets in the enighborhood.
Popular opinion to the contrary
Notwithstanding, there is no man of
any profession, vocation, or occupa-
ton that is possessed of more native
shrewdness than the American farm
er. Yet he sometimes falls down.
With fine stories floating all about
us of twenty-thousand dollar wheat
checks, and hundred thousand dollar
wheat checks and quarter million
dollar wheat checks, the head of
even a farmer begins to whirl and
grow dizzy and he is tempted to enter
the wheat gamble.
don't mean the Chicago pit or
the Minneapolis Wheat Exchange. |
mean he is apt to want to put all his
money into wheat land, and all his
land and equipment and credit into
the wheat crop, betting. as it were.
against the weather. and the smut,
and the insects and the war and shin
ping and the manipulated markets.
with the hope that he, likewise. will
win capital prize.
Why milk the cows twice three
hundred and sixty-fiye times a year?
Why carry slop to the pigs? Why
bend the back 10 pick mp spuds?
Why carry a petty egg basket to mar
ket? Why, if by one big stake in
wheat, one may become independent
in a single year?
Never was there a time when the
temptation was greater to desert the
little old standbys that have helped
out in so many a pinch. Never were
the risks Of doing so. so great. The
seasonal risk is always great for the
farmer. Pests are always to be
counted on.

4 GREAT OPPORTUNITY

There is no work more noble and
worth while than that of the Amer
lean Red Cross society. To prevent
and alleviate human suffering in
peace and war is a mission which
should appeal powerfully to the men
and women of this community. With
all Europe at war and the United
States likely at any moment to be
drawn into the conflict, the society
is confronted with duties, to prop
erly discharge which will require the
hearty cooperation of every patri-
otto citizen.
The people of the Pacific North
west, on account of being so far re-
moved froh the seat of war, have
thus far felt very little of its effects
and have contributed almost nothing
TO the relief of its victims, either the
wounded soldiers or their starving
aid destitute families. But now
the call has come to us for assistance
anu NC ShOulu ItSpOuu WITH lDG
heartiness and liberality character
istic of the west
If our own boys are called to the
front, it will be a work of love to
minister to their comfort and relief.
II this nation succeeds in keeping
out OF war, then gratitude for our
good fortune and sympathy for those
less fortunate should stimulate
everyone to help alleviate the suf-
fering amonS the peoples of the bel
ligerent countries. 1t is a great op-
portunity TO prove our generosity
and good will toward humanity.
Pullman people should organize al
strong and active Red Cross CHAPTER
and enter heartily into its activities.
The need is urgent. but the laborers
are few in comparison to the magni-
tude of the work.

WHAT OF THE FUTURE?

A bill providing for universal mill
itary training is now pending in con-
gress, and bills providing for military
training in high schools ere be-
ing considered by the legis-
iatures OF a number of states.
Inc present strained relations
existing between our government
and Germany are giving a strong
impetus to the passage of these
measures. Should our govern
ment be drawn into war with Ger
many, as a result of the present
crisis, none of these measures would
be OF any value in preparing the ma
ton for that war. Manifestly hostiI-
tiles would begin before they could
be put in operation.
The real question to be decided is
whether they are needed to preserve
the future safety of the nation. and
whether it is wise or necessary for
the United States to abandon ALI of
ISL time honored policies and tradi.
uons to adopt the system of pre-
paredness for war with any or ALI NJ
the governments of the world?
Shall we be aiding the move for
world wide peace by adopting the
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1917-02-16

system of universal military train
ing, which many regard as the real
cause of the present war, and to
abolish which several Of the belIlg-
crent nations claim TO be fighting d?
Would foreign nations regard our
sudden change of policy as a move
to simply protect ourselves or as an
ominous augury of future hostility
to them?
BY arming and training all our
young men for military duty should
we be furthering or retarding the
adoption of the program of dis
armament?
Are our people willing to shoulder
the heavy burden in money and time,
entailed by universal military train
ing?
Would preparedness prove in this
country to be a preventative of war,
or, as it has in Europe, "a provoca-
tive of war?
These are questions which the
voters of the United States must con-
slider carefully and answer honestly,
for their solution vitality concerns
not only the future of this country,
but of the whole world.

FARMING is A BUSINESS

In the old days, when competition
in farming was not keen and when
facilities for transporting and mar
keting farm products were poor,
most everything had to be used or
sold near home. Then there was
very little incentive for extra effort,
as no difficulty was met with in rails
ing enough for home use, and any
thing in excess could not be sold to
advantage With modern trans
portation facilities, local farm pro-
ducts must compete in the world s
markets, and the farmer who can
not meet this competition finds it
difficult to make a living. Thus
farming is becoming more complex
and the farmer who must succeed
must be a business farmer.
The writer has in mind a farmer
in eastern Washington who read few
papers, had no telephone, and who
did not keep up on market quota
tions. He sold $1,000 worth of cere-
ais to his neighbor and the neigh
Dor quietly went to town and resold
within two days at regular market

The farmer has the labor problem |

The farmer has the labor problem
also.
To these difficulties we now have
added the chances of war, flush
times. and free trade in agricultural
products, increased cost of produc-
ton.
Beware, take care. It's foolin'
you.
Don't put all the eggs into one bas-
ket just now. Keep the old SOW,
and the old mare and old Brindle,
and the young hens. Plant some of
the same old crops that have done
so well so many times.
Let the California special depart
without you and let the big automo-
bile flash by. and watch the new
piano go into Jones house without a
pang of jealousy.
The race is not always to the
swift. e. a. Bryan in the Wash
