America Must Win.

To the Editor of The Star:
The governments program for food
control was put before Congress by
Secretary Houston of the Department
Of Agriculture. There are 5000, 900
farms In the United States. More are
needed, both in war and peace. The
European war will be won in the Mis-
sissippi valley. not in Europe. Mark
what 1 say. 1t takes money, ammuni-
ton, soldiers and food to carry on
great war for any great length of
time. This is self-evident Germany's
boast that she could carry on the war
for AL eternity" is evidently a lie on
its face, because Germany's men are
now exhausted and she lacks food and
raw material. 1t is more likely that
the United States of America could
carry on a great war to "all eternity"
If there was any such thing possible
to do. The United States, with its I'M
bounded natural resources, will be able
to "starve out" Germany beyond all
possibility Of any doubt on the subject.
The Mississippi valley is not only the
richest and most fertile valley beneath
the sun, but the most magnificent dwell
ing place prepared by God for mans
abode. Now. with universal military
training and service and President Will
sons administration army BILL which
is a sincere attempt to equaiize the
burdens of war and which places mill
tary service upon the same basis with
taxes, it is plain to be seen that these
United States Of America could never be
"suNodued" or subjugated by its enemies
or foreign foes in times Of war or in
times Of peace. Let President Wilson
stand by his guns and let Congress
pass tho selective draft army bill
forthwith with promptness and dis
patch) and we need not fear to face
the future. GEORGE A. RITTER,

Rushing the Season

When soft and balmy is the air,
the Wintry chill forgotten. man
dotfs his heavy underwear for
himsy things of cotton. His wife
and grandma both ilnplore that
he will not be reckless. but he re
plies, "The winters Ger, and

when man does things SO silly,
and then sets out to get his goat
by sending weather chilly. The
man who would not heed his frau,
or grandma's wild entreaties.
finds chills and fever in him now,
from whiskers to his feeties. And
so he straightway goes to bed, a
victim of pneumonia perchance
he dies, and DER his head we plant
large begonia. I stand beside the
boneyard fence and see where
scores are sleeping who rushed
the season, without sense, and
left their uncles weeping. Until
the breath of summer stirs the
naples and the willows, / always
wear my heavy furs, and pad my
self with pillows. Until in yonder
picnic grove we see the summer
camper, | pack around a heating
stove, and open wide the damper.
