EVERYBODY likes a -blooded
man who stands up and makes a
fight for his friends and convictions.
If he wins, he is a generous victor; if
he loses, he comes up smiling. Save
us from the whispering crowd Of mon
key doodles who never feel the thrill
of battle---never win and never lose
because they are astride the top rail.
With infinite care they are ever on a
balance, ever ultra conservative, ever
all things to all men. They do not
get out into the fray and play the
game like thoroughbreds. They
know not the meaning of sacrifice and
are not even acquainted with unset
fishness. Self conferred, they wig
waggle whenever Simon says,
thumbs up" and keep their sail for
ever spread to catch the breeze of self
What lot of real sport

vTHE Non-P Partisan League is a new
organization and is on trial. Its
membership includes a very large
number Of the best farmers in the
state. Its aims are to benefit the far
mer. If any class of citizens need
organized and cooperative effort to
secure what they are entitled to, the
Lord knows the farmers need it.
Whether the Non-Partisan League
will accomplish what its founders
claim for II the future will tell. If it
becomes the tool of the cast-off poll
tician, as did the Farmers Alliance, it
win go the way of the Alliance. 1t

agricultural interests Of the state and
country. In the meantime, be fair to-
ward it. Whatever helps the farmer
is Of benefit to every other business

A MEXICAN plans for winning the
war are based definitely upon man
power. II is now contemplated to
have in France by the end Of next
June eighty divisions, or over 5000
600 troops. with more in training
Under the new draft limits many
more than this number will be avail
able for service. Gen. March believes
that 100000 men from the United
States will enable the Allies TO break
the German lire and end the war.
The hope is that the American trans
portation program viii be accelerated
so that the number sent across during
the current fiscal year will be even
greater than that announced, just as
the number sent abroad up to the first
of August this year was far in excess
Of the plans formed in March and
April.

The Sugar Situation

Almost every mail brings letters to The Star from
who bewdered the sugar situation. These
consistently pledge their willingness to sacrifice and
economic for victory.
But they can't understand why in the face of an
Alarming sugar shortage candy is made in abundance and
offered without stint TO those who will pay the price.
State Food Administrator Hebberd has issued state
setting forth the necessity of protecting merchants
and manufacturers in the candy business pointing that
er sugar allowance has been so per and stating
his recommendation that it be cut to % per cent
The food administrations policy in regard the candy
makers may be sensible but is not very satisfactory
the great of people who making the real sugar

They resent the almost habitual protection of profits
1T their expense Most homes need all the homecanned
PRODUCTS that be put Many mothers would like to

without sugar that goes into this luxury.
