Value

Eor our due in dollars, the customer
receives his due in clothing. No dis
parity between the two. Both equal.
Both alike. -.
That, in few words, is our conception of
clothing value. All noisy claims to the con-
trary, it isn't necessary to excel the American
dollar in value to achieve retail distinction.
An honest merchant knows he does rare
thing when he equals it.
A dollar must be as good on the inside as it
is on the outside. So must the suit.
AS it seems to us, there is just as much wrong
in giving counterfeit suit for good dollar
as it is to get good suit for a counterfeit
dollar.
Our clothing comes from such concerns as
A. B. Kirschbaum Company, who would no
more think of putting cheating makeshift
into garment than Uncle Sam would of
putting lead into silver dollar.

Missouri Wheat to Japan.

seeking rust resistant varieties OF
wheat. A letter from X. Oshima,
director OF the station, received by

Agriculture recently said that the
wheat in Hokkaido has been suffering
greatly from the rust disease and he
requested that samples of rust resist
ant varieties be forwarded to him.

the College sent four ounce samples

positions hold range from re-
porter to managing editor, from ad.
vert:sing solicitor to publisher, from

bers are about equal In rural and

"Ten Rules for Dis!oyaIists."

tThe st. Louis Ecpuhlic.)
Moved by the frequency with which
pro- Kaiser and antiwar propagandists
are being arrested by the authorities
and beaten and thrashed by irate
citizens, the Illinois State Council Of
Defense offer certain condensed rules
"of the most successful practitioners
of disloyalty." They are recommend
ed as being less risky than the usual
methods followed by the dyed-in.the.
wool and blown.in. the bottle Kaiser
ties. The rules are:
/. Assert on every occasion that
"Wall Street" made the war. Never
mind explaining when, how or why.
2. Get In all the sneers you can Mt
lany profession OF ideal motives. II
you can find any flaw in our demo-
cracy say that we "are just as bad an
autocracy ~ Germany" Place the
war in as sordid light as possible.
3. 1t Is dangerous to denonnce the
United States directly, but rake his.
WA bhOM Suu w CIlu Ut lluu w LlEOW
ut the Allies. Especially, twist the
lions tail.
4. Profess great concern lest the
sending OF food to Europe will starve
America. Support every embargo
movement that applies to the Allies
and none that does not.
5. II the President asks for an ex-
tension OF power, rave about "dicta.
torship" aud the ''overthrow OF the
liberties tor which our fathers, y etc,
9. Spread rumors that the Allies
are going to betray us or take adyan-
tage Of us rs soon as we are deeply
enough involved In the war. b.
Z. Accept CONSUMPTION In principle,
but hamper its working In every pos.
sible way. One good way ID to start
sCares about revolutions and internal
disorder a. u pretext for keeping .
large part Of the army at homo.
=. Demonstrate that the enemy IL
nnconquerable and victory hopeless.
Play the "candld friend" and act -
o depresssnt. M
q. Be very Jealous 10 prevent zen.
tangling Alliancsn sud bs much oon.
cerned about tho Monroe Doctrine, n
We "mfx ourseIvss Ia European quar.
rels." A psrmsnent league of mn.

conquer other nations if they act sell
iishly and in isolation.
10. When driven to make an un-
equivocal statement, protest your
loyalty and then change the subject.
1t will occur to anyone who has
heard much antiwar talk that these
rules very accurately describe most
Of the seditious and traitorous talk
now being loosely INDUCED in over
the country. They might have been
written as a guide for many of the
pro- German papers that are still doing
their best to serve the "fatherland. "
1t is suggested by the Illinois Council
of Defense that the genuine American
keep copy Of fthese rules in his pocket
and hand shem to she next paeifist Or
doubtful American who tries to start
a discussion.
