FARMERS, VACATIONS.

Most prosperous city people, thanks
to the automobile, know personally at
least few farmers and are glad 10
number them among their friends. But
how many among those they know
would they suspect of taking an an
nual vacation in the sense that the
average city man does? Perhaps an
occasional one, possibly Lone. Some
how, the idea of a regular vacation for
the farmer seems fncongruous, and to
none more so than the farmer himself.
In the minds of nearly everybody va
cations are associated with summer.
And in the summer it is impossible
for the farmer to leave his crops
unless he is one of the exceptional
few who till a large acreage with the
help of machinery, employees, a SURF
intendent and a business system such
as is employed in manufacturing es-
adjustments. Ordinarily he makes of
himself drudge from the time the
frost is out of the ground until it sets
in again, says Cleveland Leader. And
in the winter nothing seems more at
tractiye to him than rest and a leisure
iy preparation for the coming of
spring. But the automobile, the in
terurban electric railroad and the tele-
phone are doing as much for the farm
81 as for the people in the cities. They
are dragging him out of his old mole
like existence. And the idea of taking
real vacation every winter is begin
ming to make an impression upon him.
An investigator of rural conditions es-
Inmates that last winter 100000 farm
ers and their wives visited New York
on pleasure trips and that more went
to the Pacific coast. Probably the num-
Der will be greater during the coming
winter. The practice certainly ought
to be encouraged. The filling of the
soil has too long been unattractive and
uuprogressive as compared with other
occupations in this country. That is
one of the causes of the high cost of
living.

Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale is re-
newing his old lugubrious plant about
the physical deterioration of the Amer
lean people because they insist on wor-
rying along without a medical man as
a member of the presidential cabinet.
He declares that "our health ideals are
low, far lower than those of Germany,
Japan, Switzerland or Sweden, and
still lower than those of ancient
Greece and climaxes by asserting
that 100 per cent of our population is
below par" And yet Americans go
on winning in athletic contests with
representatives of other nations. Per-
haps the trouble is not with the Amer
lean people but with Professor Fisher,
who insists upon being pessimistic.

To encourage an extension of pro-

An amusing turn is given to the en-
FRY of China into the war by the asser-
ZION of the Austrian minister at Pc
king. in acknowledgement of the receipt
of notice of the break. That the declara-
don was unconstitutional and illegal.
In other words. Austria, through her
minister, tells China that she has act
ually not gone to war. 1t may be true
that certain forms have not been OBJ
served but just the same China is at
war with Germany and Austria, and is
Selling German and Austrian property.

to stand upon questions of punctilio

war contains several instances of fail
ure to observe the rules Of the game
on the part of the Teutonic aggressors.

The United States is making ar
rangements for the rapid construction
of huge number of airplanes. 1t is
well that there should be facilities for
the construction of the machines as
fast as they are needed, but to make
them any faster than they are actually
required would be unwise, for the
reason that the airplane is new in
vention and it's adaptation to the
needs of warfare is newer still, and
undergoing constant improvement as
result of practical experience. There
should be no contracts tying up the
government to rigid specifications that
might be modified to advantage a few
months hence.

This war will be won by food That
is the slogan of the United States to-
day in its preparations for the great
fight it is to wage in foreign lands for
the perpetuation of American princi-
pies Of liberty and democracy. Men
and munitions will be sent forth in in
creasing volume. Every military agent
will be provided to enable the United
States to strike the hardest possible
blow. But in the last analysis of the
case, the war will be won by the side
which has the most food and makes
the best use of it.

The method invented by the Ger

to raise those sunk in shallow water

about of fair play that after the Ger

vention of the submarine, this coun-
try should retaliate by making use of
a German invention to circumvent the

Debark and debarKatiOn are perfect
ly good words, but they are ignored by
the young men who write the news of
the day. The New York Times de-
spairingly remarks: probably the
word 'disembark' is now in such wide
and common usage that to bar it from
speech and print is impossible and the
undertaking of that task would be a
complete waste of time. Indeed, most
of the dictionary makers have given
up the task in despair and admitted
the absurd term to full and unre-
proved standing among its shrinking
and contemptuous neighbors" The
Times denounces "disembark" as a
verbal absurdity and crime compar-
able to "disassociate," which unques-
tionably it is; and unfortunately "there
are Others"

The control of the exports to the
neutral countries of Europe is a grim
business, since it will close factories,
bring unemployment, create want. But
the only alternative to that is sup
plying the neutrals with the material
out of which the Germans will make
the shells that will pour death upon
American trenches. There is no choice
for America. The lives of our sons
must come before the German-made
prosperity of neutral Europe.
