BREAKING ROTATION

"HE average Pennsylvania far
mer would have been tempted
to reach for rock or a club if
the suggestion had been made to
him in recent years that the rotation
of crops, the planting of wheat, corn,
oats and other staples in successive
years, should be broken. And yet
here are public officials urging that
the rule which has made Southern
Pennsylvania one of the great pro-
ducers of food in the country be
forgotten and wheat be planted
where it was grown this year or last
year. 1t is to be brought to the at
tention of every farmer and every
effort made to put the acreage of
wheat in the Keystone State over the
million and half mark.
To do violence to such an estab-
lished rule as rotation of crops
srows the gravity of the situation.
Only in an emergency can any man
with authority call upon the tillers of
the soil TO disregard a principle
which has made county after county
famous in the State. And when such
advice is given it should be needed.
This State is called upon to increase
the acreage of wheat. 1t is fast re-
gaining it's pre-eminence as an agri-
cultural State and this is the time to
help.

The ''Yellow Dog" Described
By Henry Irving Dodge

one talking sedition to go up and
plump this question at him: How
do you know? HOW DO YOU
KNOW? What a wonderful SEN
tence that is, How do you know
It's a sharp rebuke to the loose
tongued man. 1t staggers the liar.
1t stops the tongue of the slanderer.
The saints invented it, believe. to
confuse the devil.
Walker gave the boys cards with
definitions so they could recognize
the yellow dog, and the boys got
busy Walker and l had designed
to start bonfire in Danforth. but
we found that we had started a con-
flagration. Metaphorically it smarted
the eyes and stung the nostrils of
everybody. It was not long before
every yellow dog in Danforth had
been served with a card of identified
tion. 1t got so a man didn't care TO
talk sedition even to his wife in the
middle of the night lest from out The
darkness come the awful incriminat-
ing: HOW DO YOU KNOW?
In trying to convince himself that
he did know. the yellow dog con-
Vinced himself that he didn't know
And he began to change the color oi
his hide. He didn't do it with q

had to come from within.

MUST RECKON TWO WAYS

A LREADY the statistician is busy
n on the revenue which will be
lost to Pennsylvania through
the operations of the national pro-
hibition law. Incidentally the ques-
ton is Immediately raised as to the
necessity of providing additional
revenue to fill the gap lost by sus-
penson of the liquor traffic.
1t is shown that the net returns
to the State Treasury from liquor
licenses for the first eight months
of this year reached a total of ST.
487,3S7.93, a decrease of $23,244.96
from the return for the same period
In 1917. 1t is pointed out that the
annual receipts from liquor licenses
this year will show a considerable
falling of over the previous twelve
months.
But the statistician does not take
account of the other side of the
ledger. He says nothing of the ex-
penditure through local municipali-
ties and the State at large as a re-
suit of the liquor traffic It is a
question whether the net income
from liquor licenses of all sorts
would be more than a trifie of the
total expense involved in court costs
and other expenditures growing out
of the operations of John Barley
corn in every direction.
It is an old. old story, this bugaboo
of loss of revenue through the wip-
ing out of the liquor business.
Broken hearts, blasted careers, sui
eide and disgrace, murder. ineffici-
ency in the industrial world, loss
and waste of every kind do not ap-
pear in the statistics of revenue from
the liquor traffic, yet these more
vitality concern the people than all
the revenues which are so often
magnified and emphasized in the
discussion of the prohibition ques-
ton.

LABOR DAY, 1918
New York Timesl

lNew York T1meSl
1t was happy inspiration of Mr..
Wilson to take part in the celebra-
ton of Labor Day this momentous
personal appeal and invocation to
the American army of labor as only
he knows how to talke to his coun-
trymen in a crisis. He has never
said the right thing with more elo-
quence. AS Mr.. Wilson sees that
crisis, we are all working at our, ap-
pointed tasks "over here"
I'VE are all enlisted men, MEM
bers of single army. of many parts
and many tasks, but commanded by
a single obligation, our faces set to-
ward a single object"
Labor's stake in the war is no less
than that of capital. Defeat would
engulf both. That is realized by
most of us, in fact by every man who
thinks and is concerned about the
future. All that has been said and
written about the meaning and con-
sequences of the war Mr.. Wilson
congresses into one stimulating par
agraph:
1T is a war of emancipation. Not
until 1t is won can men anywhere
live free from constant fear or
breathe freely while they go about
their daily tasks and know that gov
ernments are their servants, not
their masters. = This is, there
fore, the war of all wars, which la
Dor should support and support with
all it's concentrated power"
1t may be doubted whether any
man has illuminated the iniquity of
the Teutonic governments with such
vivid flash of description as in that
sentence of Mr.. Wilson's where he
speaks of their statesmen as plot
ting while honest men work, laying
the fires of which innocent men,
women and children are to be the
fuel" Perhaps a leader of labor
here and there, as well as some of
the privates in the army. does not
see as clearly as Mr.. Wilson does,
that ito fail to win the war would
be to imperil everything that the la
borer has striven for and held dear
since freedom first had it's dawn and
it's struggle for justice began"
Americans of all occupations will
hope that for all our people this
never to- be forgotten Labor Day OF
1918 will be, in the Presidents
words, "a day of fresh comprehen-
SION and "a day of conservation"
