ATABOY!

Il
The Kaiser aims the world to own,
He'd like to boss 1t all alone,
And rule the waves from zone to

But can the Kaiser?
He'd like to stamp Democracy
Forevermore from land and sea,
And make earth's motto "Gott und

But can the Kaiser?
Not much! Your Uncle Sans the man
To knock the tar from such a plan,
And so, in plain American
It's CAN the Kaiser!

MAKE AN END OF IT.

The habit of many members of the
House of extending their remarks in
the Record" on bills of popular concern
SO that their ideas may be distributed
free among their constituents, cropped
out again when the measure providing
insurance for our soldiers and sailors was
taken up for consideration II ask
unanimous consent" boldly remarked
the Democratic chairman of the commit
tee having the bill in charge, that the
Members who desire to speak on this bill
and fail to do so may have 10 legislative
days in which to print their remarks. !"
Republican Representative Martin B.
Madden of Illinois was quick to object,
and succeeded in preventing, with regard
to this bill at least, the abuse of printing

POTATOES.

We were informed last week that
there were not Is bushels of potatoes in
the markets of this city. Inquiry at the
stores proved that the information was
correct ''Held for higher prices" was
Che cause of the scarcity. The farmer is
seldom anywhere near the winners in
the race for boosted prices, but he never
gets diStanced and we notice that he
makes his best time when he gallops
down the home stretch. We like to see
him carry home a good sweepstake oc-
Casionally because in the race for money
ne is often SO completely outjockeyed
But those who have been in the habit
OF eating potatoes have one blessed con-
ISOLATION. From the earliest history of
man down to little less than 300 years
ago, there is no record that anybody
ever saw potato. For several thousand
wears people subsisted without them and
N Old Testament times at least, lived to
Lhe ripe, and sometimes we fear, to the
Uver-ripe age of 800 or 900 years. So it
really seems that we can, if we must,
survive total abstinence from the tooth
some native of our mountainous West,
ill we reach three score and ten, which
as the limit beyond which we are sup
pc sed to be unable to enjoy potatoes or
ANYTHING else,

Seed Saving Campaign.

The present seed situation demands that
farmers should save their own seed SO far
as possible this fall. There was large
demand for seed of all kinds last spring,
and the replanting of many crops con-
sumed an additional amount. The present
season has not been good one to mature
crops in good condition, and the prospects
are that seed will not be available in suffi
cient quantities another spring, unless
some measures are taken Immediately to
increase the supply. Any farmer who
| has good seed of any kind should save at
| least enough for his own use and also some
! for sale to others.
Especially is there need for good yell
low corn, beans and wheat. Yellow corn
OF the eight-rowed type is to be preferred.
The late season last spring and poor
weather for growth early in the season
did not develop fields of corn in a very
/ satisfactory manner with the consequence
that good pieces which will be fit for seed
| another year are scarce and anyone having
such should harvest and care for this corn
in the best way possible. In some locali-
ties it will be possible to mature Nam
moth varieties of yellow silage corn. AS
it was impossible to secure enough of this
kind of seed last year it is advisable for
each man to mature enough for his own
use as far as possible.
Beans are rusting badly, and seed free
from the diseases will be much in demand
Oats, as general rule, are light in weight
and large yields are not common. Any
one having good supply of heavy oats of
good variety should consider saving a
portion of them for seed
There was demand for buckwheat
and hard spring wheat this spring, which
had to be filled from outside the state
There ought to be a good amount of this
another year if proper care is taken to
save sufficient portion of this for seed
Many small potatoes and potatoes of
inferior quality were planted last spring
which practice ought not to be repeated.
All seeds should be we'll cured and
stored in such manner that they will
keep in good condition.
Anyone who does not have the seed,
which they are going to want for another
springs planting, should secure this seed
or should make arrangements with other
farmers to save it for them as early as
possible, in order to make sure that 1t will
not be fed out to stock

THE SKYHIGH LOAF,

Boston bakers have admitted that there
is only Alp cents worth of material in a
10-cent loaf of bread
The labor cost and the two profts-oi
baker and dealer-account for the other
5.88 cents
Mr.. Hoover has talked about food and
prices until his effective vocabulary is
well nigh exhausted If there is any law
which can be invoked to cut down the
eXorbitant prices charged for bread the
matter should be turned over to the At
torney General of the United States. If
the food law which was for four months
ii the making by Congress, is Joke, it is
time the people were so informed The
people want results. If there is no other
way to get bread at fair price the house
wives must do the baking. That will
save one freight, two profits and the ex-
penSe account of the bakers.

DIPLOMACY.

humanity and civilization, and we shall

DOING THEIR BIT.

The Baldwin Locomotive Works located
in Philadelphia, employs Is, 600 men, On
July lst of this year the company begun
on a contract to make $50 locomotives
for use in France The contract will be
filled Oct. lst, when work on further
contract calling for 514 more locomotives
will be undertaken and it is claimed that
this contract will be filled by the first of
January next. These are all large engines
of the complicated type, and each weighs
about 1877 tons and costs $43, 900. Here
is American efficiency demonstrated by
trained men under the direction of ex-
perts who have made life study of the
locomotive business. If business is to
be done expeditiously and well, men who
know how to do the required business
must be put in charge of the work.

WITH A GRAIN OF SALT.

Last Saturday, Mai-Gen. Scott, the
Chief of Staff of the United States army,
rea ched the retirement age, and Maj
Sen. Joseph E. Kuhn has been appointed
as his successor. The newspapers state
I nat Gen. Kuhn was Military Attache at
Berlin early in the war, and spent two
years with the German forces in the
field, was military observer with the
Japanese army during the war with Rus
STA and is regarded as Americas leading
expert on modern warfare" All this
seems rather too much like an elabora-
ito n by Mr.. Creel. But if it is all true,
Gen. Kuhn must be well fitted for the
position which he now holds. We wish
we could say the same of Mr.. Creel and a
few other men much higher up.

Tribute To Maine,

in Maine:
"A man holding prominent position

the writer recently: up in your State, it
doesn't seem like draft force, but more
as though it was volunteer outfit being
gotten together. It shows that Maine is
awake to the fact that there is a war.

ton has come so near to realization of
the fact that we are at war;

WHEAT.

The average wheat crop of Germany,
peace has been 400, 600, 900 bushels an
uually. They have this year stolen the
crop from Roumania and Serbia, which
under normal conditions would be about
100, 900, 900 bushels, The average crop
of the British Isles, France and Italy
was, before the war, about 100000 900
bushels. 1t is safe to say that the crop
Of wheat in the above countries in 1917
mas decreased very much but the per cent
Of loss will be about the same in each.
Therefore it is probable that the home
resources of wheat in the European allied
countries are somewhat above those of
the Central powers, but are entirely
inadequate to their respective needs.
They must all have wheat or the prod
acts of wheat. The Central powers can
not anywhere buy wheat sufficient for
their necessities, because the great wheat
growing countries are hostile. The esti-
mated crop in the United States for this
year is 625, 600, 600, of Canada 100000, 900
bushels, of British India 375, 100000 and
of Australasia 100, 600, 900 bushels, total
of 300, 900, 600 bushels. The surplus of
this great quantity is available for the
allied nations. The necessity for in
creased production and economy is great
DlJt knowing this necesSity we need not
lack for bread.

LOOKING TOO FAR AHEAD.

Sept 10Th. Secretary of War Baker
announced plans for second levy OF
10000 men and more than limited that a
third draft of like number would follow.
Before the Secretary does any further
planning it would be wisdom on his part
to exercise his grey matter by planning
to clothe the present contingent with
something more than felt hats and paper
collars. A visitor to the camp at Aver
writes to the Boston Transcript that there
is a lack of clothing and bed clothes and
a general state of unpreparedness.

A BAD LOAN,

The late j. P. Morgan once testified
before Committee of Congress that he
had frequently loaned million dollars to
a man upon no further security than his
character. That seems to be the manner
in which we have loaned hundreds of
millions to the provisional government
of Russia, taking the note of hand of the
Russian representatives in this country,
to whom no authority of the Duma or
other repository of real power had been
voted.
