TO GERMANY.

A sonnet ITO Germany" (writtel
by Charles H.. Sorley, a British poe
who was killed in action on the 18th o.
October, 1915, at the age of 49, shows
that even in the midst of the conflict
he could see over it to the light Of
some far morning when nations SHOULD
have grown as "loving-kind" brothers
To Germany:
You are blind like US. Your hurt ne
man designed,
And no man claimed the conquest OF
your land.
But gropers both through fields Of
thought confined
We stumble and we do not understand
You only saw your future bigly
planned
And we the tapering paths of our own
mind,
And in each others dearest ways we
stand,
And hiss and hate, And the blind
fight the blind
When It is peace, then we may view
again
With new won eyes each others truer
form
And wonder. Grown more loving-kind
and warm
Wen grasp firm hands and laugh at
the old pain,
When it is peace. But until peace the
storm,
The darkness and the thunder and the
rain.

enteen billion dollars. One cannot help wondering how soon her ability to raise additional sums will end.
 What makes the contrast between the American government and the German government the more striking is that up to the present time Germany has done practically nothing to raise by taxation the money needed to pay the interest on her huge loans. Not far from one fourth of the last loan must have been used to pay interest on the sums already borrowed.
 An interesting feature about the na- tional indebtedness of nations is brought out by the Encyclopaedia Britannica. It is pointed out that the only two countries on the face of the globe which have made a practice of paying in the piping days of peace the indebtedness incurred in times of stress are the United States and Great Britain.
 When our civil war ended the gov eInments debt was two billion seven hundred million Twenty five years out, leaving only the seven hundred million When the Napoleonic war. in 1872, ended. the British debt was four billion four hundred million dollars. Eighty five years later it was three billion one hundred million, and that too, in spite of the fact that in the in- terim one billion eight hundred million had been borrowed.
 The real total reduction, therefore. during that period was three billion one hundred million dollars. While Great Britain and the United States were redeeming their obligations on this tremendous scale, all the other

 FAT MUCH FOOD

If motor trucks and tractors were entrusted with the work now being done by horses. one great stroke in the desired conservation of food would be accomplished" said G. H. Reuben, of the local KisselI<ar agency.
 Eighteen quarts, of oats is the average daily consumption of a work horse during the open season. At least seventeen million of the twenty i've million horses in this country come under that classification. Dur ing the winter six quarts a day is suf- ficient for each. This means one hun dred and thirty six bushels of oats per horse per year or a total of two bil- lion, two hundred and ninety two million bushels. This, without taking into account the eight million horse population not included in the work horse class.

great countries of the world were pilinS up new debt.
 When the present war broke out France had a larger debt than any other country. Her credit, however, was excellent and the debt was owed entirely to her own people, from whom she was able to borrow at a low rate of interest.
 And well might her credit have been good. In the one hundred and twenty five years from the time of the French revolution to the outbreak of the war. she had had no less than nine different changes of ernment-consulate, em- pire, monarchy, empire, Bourbon mon archy, Orleanist monarchy, republic. empire, republic But no single one of these governments, whether republic. consulate, empire or kingdom, ever for a minute thought of repudiating the debt of it's predecessor, even though that debt was incurred in an endeavor to prevent the new government from coming into existence.
 This record of the American govern ment, of the British government and the French republic, is one which every believer in democratic government can be proud. for it shows that democracies pay their debts with greater prompt ness than have mOnarchial countries or empires.

GREAT LOAN |S COMP PARED WITH
 THOSE OF PAST

Most Americans remember from their school days that the cost of the civil war to the North was three million dollars a day. The sum seemed tre- mendOus and indeed it was for those times. Very likely in proportion to the population and the wealth of the day it was as great as the sums expended by the European governments in the pres ent world war. Still it sounds small i'll comparison with the thirty millions or more expended by the British gov ernment every day.
 And now comes the American gov ernment with plans to raise five billion dollars as long time loan, besides two billion dollars more in the form of treasury certificates for short period. 10 this is to be added another large sum raised by new taxation. How long these sums will last no one can say Should they all be expended within one year it would represent over twenty million dollars a day. Sun days included.
 The wealth of the United States has been estimaed in the neighbOrhood of two hundred billion dollars, or, roughly speaking, thirty times the amount of this loan Germany, with a population about twO-thirds that of the United States and with a wealth considerably less than one half that of the United States, has now floated six different loans aggregatinS approximately sev-

bone DRY" Law
SUIsT. HOLSAPLE CONSENTS TO
AMENDMENT TO HIS BILL.

Pierre, Jan. 29.-The state anti
saloon league is in favor of a bone
dry" prohibition law for South Da-
kota, according TO a statement by
r. n. Holsaple, of that organization.
This announcement was made at the
close of a meeting here of the trus-
tees of the league.
When the so called Holsaple bill.
which includes a provision permitting
shipment into the state and posses
sion of a limited amount of liquors by
individuals and which has been in
troduced in the Legislature as EN-
bodying all the desires of the league.
comes up for action that organization
will ask that ii be amended to make
the state as dry as a prohibition
can make it. 1t will ask
that the provision in the bill as it
stands at present, whereby individ-
uals may ship in and have possession
of not more than n quart of spirit
uous or vinous liqours or three gal
Ions of malt, brewed or fermented
liquors, shall be amended to prohibit
absolutely the importation and pos
session. as well as the manufacture
and sale, of any kind of liquor by any
person or corporation in the state.
In his announcement Mr.. Holsaple
said that the bill as introduced by
the league was designed as a test to
sound out public sentiment in the
state and bring an expression of what
was Misunderstanding or partial pro-
hibition. Having become convinced
that a majority of the people desired
a bone dry" law, he said, the league
would devote all it's efforts to secur-
ing it.
Holsaple says this is no switch. as
this has been the intention of the
league right along. but that this
seemed the best way TO overcome the
feeling of many that the prohibition
vote last fall was merely to drive out
the saloon and that total abstinence
would not meet with popular back
ing. or that bone dry" was the cry
of the booze element and prohibition
cranks alone. The cry coming from
all over the state for bone dry"
shows the general sentiment and
while some legislators do not favor
it, the league will work for it.
