not make clear TO the German people
how this public agitation VIII end. His
next answer viii perhaps bring definite
certainty. Until then we must in all
our thoughts and in our actions pre-
pare for both eventualities-first. that

war, IN which case there is no choice
for Us but to put ourselves in posture

should this necessity arise 1 have
no doubt that the German government
in the name OF the German people will
issue a call for national defense in the
same way that It spoke for the German
people when it took action for peace.
He who honestly took a stand on the
basis of peace will also undertake the
duty OF not submitting to a peace Of
violence without night. The govern
ment which would act otherwise would
be left to the mercy OF the fighting and
working people. 1t would be swept
away BY public poinion.
WHAT OF GERMANY's FUTURE.
There is also another possibility
The German people must not be blindly
brought 70 the conference table The
German people today has the right to
ask. If peace is realized on the basis of
President Wilson's conditions. what
they mean for our future. Our answers
TO the presidents question must be
framed on the German peoples under
standing of that question. What 1t now
wants is clearness.
THE decision will be OF stupendous
import. II will not be our strength that
will decide, but it will be what is
thought to be right In free discussion
with our opponents that will give the
decision This is a great effort for
proud people accustomed to victory!
The legal questions involved will not
stop at our national boundaries. which
will be never Of our own accord open
for violence.
THE principles upon which we have
agreed as a rule OF conduct also involve
internal questions. From many quar-
tiers it has been represented to me that
an acceptance of President wilson's
conditions would mean submission
anti-German submission-to an anti
German court of justice, which would
decide legal questions entirely from
the viewpoint Of it's own interests If
that is the case. why then is it the ex-
treme apostles Of force IN the entente

WHY A CHANGE NOW

On another page of this issue Of the
Alma Record appears the announce
ment of Emory Townsend of Saginaw,
to the effect that he is candidate for
the nomination on the Republican
ticket for congress from the Sth con-
gressional district against Joseph
Fordney
In his announcement are several
things which may De taken by the
average reader to reflect on our con-
gresham, Mr.. Fordney, and in some
Of these things, wherein the voters
might become confused, we feel it our
duty, to mention a few things in
justice to Mr. Fordney.
Frankly we do not see the need of
change in this office. Mr.. Fordney
has been in congress for years, and
is one of the oldest members of the
ability, who has looked after his con
stituents during the entire time that
he has been in congress. He is now
conceded to be one of the most inn
portant members of the lower branch
of congress, and has become "A power
there. while a new man would be
forced to work himself in from an out
side position, an would probably be
forced To take years to become the
important member of the house that
Mr. Fordney has become.
The announcement of Townsend
says that he will not become tool of
anyone or any class, and that he will
not be absent from the duties of
Office for months at a time, looking
after personal affairs. This might be
construed as a crack at Fordney, but
we fail TO see where. Joe Fordney
has not been tool for class or for
anyone. Neither do we believe that
he has been absent from his duties at
Washington for months at a time.
He also says that when an Office
holder has out lived his usefulness
and neglects TO attend to the duties Of
the Office that he should be retired.
Frankly we are in accord with the
views herein expressed but claim
tiitAl Jpt VI iASN las h''iiit- ouN4iNtN
his uscfulrcs FIJI public Office, nor has
he as etea uts duties. if the insinu-
UIou (, tea IN b, direction as we
Believe.
W Mr. Townsend should be chosen
which is out of the question it would
be years before he could from exper-
fence or ability hold the position on
important committees as does Mr..
Fordney If Fordney is elected and a
Republican congress, will beyond
a doubt be chairman Of the Ways and
Means committee.
The announcement also conveys a
challenge to Fordney to meet him in
debate in every city, town and village
in the district This is all very fine,
but why such a challenge at this time,
when Mr.. Fordncy is busy in Wash
ington? Does the aspirant for the
office wish TO pull him away from his
duties of Office, just TO convince the
voters that he does neglect his duties,
especially at this time, when the war
situation is such that no congressman
will be home fixing up his political
fences, if congress should happen to
run through the summer?

DO SOMETHING WORTH WHILE
Much Benefit VIII Come From Deter
hhlnatlon 70 Make Each Day
Record OF Accomplishment

The one who starts out In the morn
Ing with determination to do some
thing during the day that will amount
to something, that will be distinctive,
that will have individuality. that will
give him satisfaction at night, is a
great deal more likely not to waste
his day In frivolous, unproductive work
than the one who starts out with no
plan.
Begin every day, therefore, with a
program and determine that, let what
will come, you will carry 1t out as
closely as possible. Follow 1t up per.
sistently, day after day, and you will
be surprised at the result.
Make up your mind at the very
outset Of the day that you will accom-
pllsh something that will amount to
something; that you will not allow
callers to fritter away your time, and
that you will not permit the little an-
noyances Of your business 10 spoil
your days work. Make up your mind
that you will be larger than the trifies
which cripple and cramp mediocre
lives, and that you will rise above petty
annoyances and Interruptions and
carry out your plans In large and
commanding way.
Make every day Of your life count
for something; make 1t tell in the
grand results. not merely as an added
day, but as an added day with some
thing worthy achieved.

HUNGRY MILLIONS WANT
FOOD As WELL rs PEACE.

When GermauY touk N syJAS ala
created a worl1ehoftagS IN food
When she lays them down, she will
cause a famine among our allies, IN
less America realizes that they still
have to be fed and that for . full
year the food must largely come from
the United States.
''Ons Hundred and twenty million
allies must eat" Ia the present food
slogan. The minute the war ends and
the Hun heel is lifted from subjeo,
nations, there win be 10000, 900
holds in trust the only aYailable sup
ply which can ward on hunger from
these millions. It cannot In honor
default.
The task Ia s1gAnt1c-no nation IN
history has been asked to attempt
anything like II. Fifty per cent moro
food must be shipped than during the
past twelve months. Seventeen and
one-half million tons must cross the
Atlantic to implement this countrt'a
promise to the Inter-Allied Council.
No code Of rules can cover the case
Every man, woman, and child, has got
to figure out three times q day what
he can spare from his or her own
meals. II loyalty won't supply the
answer. all the laws in the world fail
So the Food Administration pins its
faith to the public and says, Work
out your own problem your own way,
but give the utmost you can. Remem.
Der only this, that for every morsel Of
food there are two candidates-an
American here and some far-hungieP
fellow-being overseas"
The problem has passed beyond the
stage where It can be solved by the
use OF substltutes-as has been said,
What Is wanted Is Just food-and
there is no substitute for that"
Ninety-five per cent Of our sustenancO
comes from staples, and the enormous
shortage in those cannot be made good
merely by eating oysters, and rabbits,
and spinach, and peanuts. This use
OF perishable or non-exportable foods
Is, OF course, extremely desirable, but
1t cannot alone let US boat by another
six million tons OF foodstuffs the REQ
ord of eleven million tons shipped DUR
ing the last twelve months. There is
only one way to avert the shame Of
seeing civilian greed dim the lustre
OF military prowess, and that is for
every man, woman, and child, in the
United States to get voluntarily on Q
real war footing-get into the fight
just as the people Of every other
Allied nation have had to do-and
then when history starts handing
round the medals for this war there
will be wellmerited one for the
rank-and4ile OF American democracy
for standing together as no nation
in the annals Of time has done.

Much Property Reverts to Crown.

Few people realize the large amount
Of property which passes every year
to the crown Of England owing TO the
owners dying without heirs or next
of-kln, and without having made
will. In most of these cases the de-
ceased is an illegitlmate person with
no children.
AS a rule the crown does not APP
propriate the whole of the property,
but makes what is called a compass
siOnate allowance to the relatives Of
the deceased. although they may not
be his relatives according to law, and
In some cases to friends and servants
who have performed services for him
which entitle them to consideration.
The amount of the allowance Is
determined by the treasury, or, In
the case Of the estates of persons dy-
ing within the duchy of Lancaster, by
the chancellor of the duchy.
The money does not pass to the
king himself, but to the nation, and
thus goes to relieve taxation.

Test Of Honesty.

Money never made a man honest.
Higher salary rarely secures the serv-
Ices Of better men for the public.
That has been shown, time and again.
when the salary of position was
raised for the purpose of attracting
business talent to 1t. The result usu-
ally has been that some hack politician
has accepted the higher pay with
thanks or else that the sort of bust
ness man who was attracted to place
holding by the money offered soon de-
veloped into an inferior grade of poll
tlcian. Honesty and dishonesty have
no necessary relation to mans finan-
