RED CROSS DRIVE

This week is the week of the
National Red Cross Drive ITO
raise 800, 600 900 for the War
Fund. This great fund is one Of
greatest sources Of Mercy in the
World. Primarily it is intended
to care for the wounded and sick
among the soldiers of the United
States and our Allies but that is
not all. 1t cares for the tuber
cular, invaded civilians, and
children in the war zone, those in
rcconquercd French territory, re-
patriatcd people returning TO
France, clipples and the blind,
who are taught useful occupations.
This wide field work now goes on
i'll Russia, Roumania, Serbia, Italy
and Armenia, and other, places
where needed, as well us in France.
Another thing to be considered is
the fact that not a cent of the War
Fund is to be used in administra-
ton expenses, as those are all car
ed for by the membership fee, and
the interest which accrues from
the banking funds actually makes
available $1.O2 for every dollar
contributed.
Chairman Johnson reports that
the work in the county is going
fine and Ed. w. Hanson, chairman
for Hope reports an oversubscrip-
ton on the first day Of so per
cent. He hopes to increase this
to an over subscription of moro
than 100 per cent before the end
of the week.

To take our part in world competi-
ton we too must have the investigating
spirit. If we are to prevent the Rus.
slams from becoming the mere slaves Of
Germany, we must have our own in
vestigators learning how we can secure
Russian cooperation.
We need more Of the investigating
spirit in all our life. Many men make
failures in business because they do not
study in advance the conditions they
are going to deal with. They see the
situations around them, and imagine
that people in other conditions want
the same thing. Then they invest their
money in some proposition at a
distance. When they get there they
find conditions wholly different, and
their proposition not calculated to win.
Success of any kind, national or person
al, is built on a thorough study of the
conditions we have to meet.
Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1918-08-28
The Investigating Spirit.

Some people wonder why they lack
success in life, when others apparently
less brilliant have attained higher re-
wards. The answer to this question is
often found in the question whether a
man has the investigating spirit or not
This spirit wins success in big fields
and little A notable example Of it has
been seen in the way the Germans con-
quered Russia. The Germans have to
a remarkable extent the Investigating
spirit. Sometimes their Investigations
have been nullifed by their failure to
understand other peoples.
But in Russia their spirit Of patient
investigation did win out. While
France, England and America were
hoping blindly that Russia would come
through and keep fighting, the Germans
had their investigators worming their
way. They sized up the situation, and
persuaded the simple minded Russians
to surrender their arms and run home
While it. was a success won by false
hoodj yet it was based on thorough in
vestigation.

For a Definite Farm Policy,

We do not agree with many of
Theodore Rossevelt's ideas in regard to
matters Of public policy, but we hearth
~ subscribe to the views he expressed
the other day in speech at Spring
field, ILL.,, in advocacy Of definite farm
policy He said:
"The foundation of our permanent
by farmer I mean not the man who
owns land which others till, but the
man who himself tills or helps till the
ground part Of which at least he him.
self owns. A cardinal feature of our
national policy should be the ensuring
of his rights to this man; and this not
only for his sake but for the sake of
all of us. Normally he must be the
owner of the ground he and his sons
and his hired man till; and the hired
man must have conditions shaped so
that if he is hardworking, thrifty and
energetic he shall have the means and
the opportunity himself to purchase
farming land on which to dwell and
to bring up his family. We ought now
to formulate, and we ought long ago
to have formulated an American agri-
cultural policy and the national agri-
cultural department should be COM
pletely reorganized and it's activities
made far more productive than at pres
ent, especially in view of the large sum
Of money now allotted it, Normally, in
farming regions, where the land is ag-
ricultural land, tenancy should be rec
ognized only as a transitional and tenn
porary phase; and normally the work
ing farmer should himself be the land
owner; and legislation to secure this
should at once be enacted.
drastic action should be taken to-
stop the purchase Of agricultural land
by speculative purchasers; where nee
essary, this should go to the length of
giving full title to the occupant for use
only, and limiting his power Of alienat-
ing the land. System Of marketing
must be developed, so as to do away
with the holdup methods that in so
many places still obtain. The pro-
ducer must get more, and the consumer
pay less, than at present, and both
these ends can be and have been at
tanned by, proper legislation.
"We ought to do these and the many
other, things necessary now, when it is
possible to do them without causing
too great distress to those in posses
sion Of long undisputed privileges
which by time have grown to possess
much of the character of rights"
