SUPREME cQQRI TO
|. HOLD UP DECISION
In West Virginia Debt Case Because
+ Of tho War Condi.
tlonS.

WASHINGTON, May S.-The i'm.
preston prevails in Washington now
that because Of the war there will
not be decision Of the United States
supreme court in the Virginia debt
case while hostilities are In proRress.
Prior to the declaration Of war, a de-
cision was looked tor before the an.
nual adjournment of the court for
the summer months, probably not lat
er than the early part Of juno. But
with the war in progress, 1t lie be.
lfeved here the supreme court will
not render any opinions that may tend
to upset the existing order Of things.
No opinion that might interfere with
the work OF great corporations or
states, or which would involve; the
payment Of large sums Of money. are
expected during the continuance Of
the war
Big trust cases, which might in.
volve a change Of methods OF busi.
ness in various lines, the state debt
case. which might require West Vir-
gfn1a to provide for the payment OF
large sum, and other cases OF mag
nitude, IT Is believed, will be held
back Till the war is over, or at least
until it is we'll under way and will
not be announced now to upset ex-
1stlng conditions when they are al
rsHdy greatly upset by the war. For
this reason, 1t is believed there will
be no opinion in the Virginia debt
case in the near future, and West
Virginia probably will not have to
make provision for the payment OF
Its part OF the debt till after the close
Of the war.

supplied.
City Attorney Robb recommended
that all consumers refuse to pay bills

WHAT'S THAT TO US?

THEY stood ar1n-in-arm, man and a
girl, and watched the latest devel-
opments of the international situa-
ton as related in the lines flashed on a
newspaper bulletin board. Both are very
smart, in the ultra-smart, too-hignly
manicured way. Her body was tip-tllted
on patent leather heels; his face was pink
with a pink that didn't come from the
biting wind. After few minutes said
he: "Shucks What's the war to us? Let's
90 in where it's warm and have drink. y
whats that to us?" It's the attitude,
spoken or implied, Of many toward most
of the facts and problems of life. Just
yesterday there was story told of girl
who tried to take starving old woman,
trembling in her insufficient rags, into a
Broadway restaurant to buy her food. The
proprietor denied them admission. He al
lowed only respectable people in his
place, he said. The old woman was starv-
ing, but what was that to him?
The men and women of the warning
countries had that attitude, too, and then
war, which had been but the shadow of a
cloud, was upon them, and those who had
said "What's that to us?" found that 1t
was to them what it was to everyone e4se
"a calamity and horror and night
mare. 1t brought them, it seems, to them
selves. It developed their latent heroism,
and capacity for accomplishment, and sac
rifce, and devotion.

placence, whats that to us ?'-New

You can hear the dummys gong,
You can hear the crops a-sproutin',
You can hear the seedlings say,
'We're pushing up for freedom, too,
Well do our bit today"

We're marching everywhere;
We are plantin' bets an bayonets,

Of lasting peace for all
With our reapers and our muskets
We are answering the call!

OVERLOOKING OPPORTUNITIES.
lBY Frank EddYl

7 n these war times, when the statesmen,
the pulpit and the press, together with
4 the regular advice givers, who, like the
poor, are with us always, are frantically
urging everyone to increase production, it
strikes us that it is good thing to change
the time once in while, and urge great
err and wider diversity of production, and
more conservation Of things produced.
This proposition was forcib4y brought
home TO us the other day. We had occa-
sion to use some straw and hiked down
town to buy bale; to our surprise we
could not find an ounce of straw for sale
in the city. One dealer informed us that
he had received good many orders for
baled straw since spring opened and he
thought he would send to the city and
get some Just think Of the thousands of
tons Of straw produced in this locality
every year and none on the market.
Whenever we think of farming we al
ways think Of Holland, for the thrifty
Dutch farmers have brought the science
of agriculture almost to perfection, not
only in the way of production, but in the
way of market supply. Go into any vii
lage or town in Holland and you will find
on sale everything that can be proftably
produced in the locality in which the vii

would think that the country farmers had
gone daft if he were compelled to import
what they could grow.
Go into Dutch farm home and they
will set before you the most enjoyable
cooked and honey meal you can find any
where, but the Dutch housewife would be
ashamed to buy anything for her table
that could be grown on the place. This
course has enabled the Dutch to loan the
world five times as much money as any
other nation of it's SIZE
! How differently we find it here. We
could name at least score of commodi-
ties that could be produced here but if
you are able to obtain them at all they
are imported.
We do not believe there are a hundred
bushels of onions in all the Stearns coun-
ty cellars put together, yet onions at the
present time are almost worth their

! Not one farmer in ten raises enough
beans for his own use but gets his baked

Gov. Burnquist's explanation Of his
veto of the school appropriation is
about as bad as tie veto itself. He
seems TO take the very advanced posi-
ton that the legal and moral obllga-
ton Of the state to the schools shout
be abruptly set aside, simply because
the form of the obligation does not
coincide with his ideas of how state
aid to schools should be distributed.
He seems to take no heed of the fact
that the school districts have per-
formed their part of a contract with
the state, and that his veto makes
the state repudiate it's part.-Sam
Gordon.
