parable, he must be protected from pos
sible loss and stimulated to his highest
efforts.
1t is not yet too late to produce a
record-breaking crop of potatoes, beans,
corn and some other things, if the
farmer is made to understand that he is
not going into "a gamble" but is work
ing on certainty. An illustration of
what we mean is furnished in certain
parts of Southern Kentucky. Tobacco
paid tremendous profits there last year
and promises larger profits this year
Even the small tenant farmer, black as
well as white, has been making big
money. When you go to him and tell
him he should pay four or five dollars
a bushel for seed potatoes and great
sums for beans and put all his land in
them this year, he wants to know
whether he will get back even what he
puts in And many farmers in that sec
ton, and we imagine in every other part
of the country, will go i'll for certain
money crop in preference to one from
which they think it possible they may
not receive much return. This is why
it is important that with appeals to the
farmers patriotism there should be
State or Government assurances against
loss, and practical help by which he may
be enabled to do the work he is asked
to do What the State will do along this
line we do not know, but the best me-
thod of getting the farmer to do his
best is certainly likely to arise.
The pressing and predominant ques-
ton is how to get and conserve the in
creased output that is essential to us
and to the world.

Will Starue.

the President to develop and utilize
the food resources of the nation to the
utmost and to protect the people from
their shameless operations. 1t is alb
solutely essential that the Government
should be at once invested with the
authority to deal with the food situa
ton like the master of a great house
hold and to order and manage it on the
basis of the highest war efficiency. The
people of Ohio and the people of every
other state in the Union should at once
make it plain to their congressman that
they will not tolerate any mercenary
lobbies with regard to this matter in
Washington, and demand the passage of
the Administrations measures without
another days delay.
With the necessary powers to con-
serve food supplies and to protect the
masses from imposition by SPECTATORS
there must go hand in hand a wise pol
icy of stimulating production and of
making the farmer feel the appeal of
self-interest as well as of patriotism. 1t
is well enough to tell how to raise larger
crops but all the oratory in the world
will not make him do it i'll many cases,
unless he is assured that he is safe
against loss, and unless he can procure
the seed to plant and the labor to cult
vate the crop. The farmer is as patri-
otic as anybody else, but if he is tc
work efficiently to save this country anrc
Europe from famine next winter, he
must be placed in position to RESPOND
with all his energy and with all his en-
thusiasm. The average farmer has NJ
great amount of capital to fall bacl
upon. He lives from season to season
and it is as natural that he should avoi'
the risk of loss, even at time like this
as that the banker or the railroad mai
should do so. To get the best result

"HOW DRY l AMI"
Saloon Keepers Warned Against
Selling Liquors To Soldiers.

Abstemiousness was forced upon men
in khaki the past week by saloon men
and liquor dealers throughout Cincin-
natl following the issuance of warning
by the National Wholesale Liquor Deal
ers' Association to refrain from selling
Intoxicating drinks to officers and men
i'll army uniforms. The warning reads:
"The anti-liquor provision OF the army
act has been signed by the President and
is now law. 1t is unlawful to sell any
Intoxicating liquor, beer, ale or wines,
to any officer or member of the military
force in uniform
I'VE suggest to our members that you
instruct your statesmen to notify the re-
tail dealers of this and to urge strict
obedience to it.
THE penalty for violation of this pro-
vision is $1,000 fine and one year in Jail"
Soldiers, generally, took the "clamping
down OF the lid" on them good-natured-
ly There were few, however, who
resented the anti-liquor provision of the
army act and made known their dis
pleasure by yelling in front of saloons
why don't you hang out German
hag?"

Here and there we have heard some
over the food question, and occasional
suggestions that the recent advances in
prices have been due to public hysteria
and to unnecessary panic on the part of
consumers. There is grim pleasantly
in these soothing remarks such as might
be conveyed by the reassuring bark of
rabbit dog to the animal he is pursuing
The rabbit runs because he is in dan
ger, and the consumer is getting excited
not only because he hears the bark of
the pursuing enemy, but because he
already feels its teeth. 1t is useless to
tell him that he is the cause of this
effect, and that if he would only keep
cool there would be no trouble He has
had too much experience to be fooled
and while he may have to suffer, he is
not going to plead guilty to being the
chief criminal. He is willing to cure
himself of the sin of waste, but he
knows perfectly that no matter how
careful he may be his frugality will not
be sufficient while we content ourselves
with general admonitions to farmers to
raise larger crops.
There is no danger that the American
people will grow over-alarmed on this
subj ect, but there is danger that in theil
casy-going fashion they may accept the
food speculator as. necessary evil anc
may underestimate the size of the fooo
