WHAT OF FARMER IN
-hFTER-WAR PERIOD?
will Southern Interests Be Per-
mitted to Control Recon-
structi0n2

The increasing prospect Of peace
brings to the foreground the problems
of the farmer in the afterwar period.
It is an economic axiom that the pros
perity of the American farmer de,
ponds largely upon the wages and
therefore the food purchasing capacity
of American labor. Anything which
would cause a general industrial un-
rest and idleness would strike heavily
at the market Of the American farmer,
When war orders are stopped and
armies are demobilized, unless we pre-.
pare in advance for the transition to
the peace period, there is sure to be a
vast amount Of unemployment, and it
will inevitably reduce not only the
number Of domestic purchasers Of food
products, but will tremendously re-
duce the general level Of prices Of
food products.
As one illustration. "A high official
in one of the munitipn making plants
In the United States Is authority for
the statement the moment peace is de-
clared he will have to discharge $4,000
employees pending the reorganization
of the company's plant to peace pro-
duction basis. It is conservatively es'
timated that the. declaration of peace
will certainly throw 100000 laborers
out of work unless provision is made
in advance by farseeing statesmen to
take up this slack. The importance of
having this preparation for peace well
in hand before peace arrives is very
apparent
The Republicans in Congress first
saw the necessity Of preparing for
peace, and Senator Weeks. Repub-
lican, Of Massachusetts introduced a
bill providing for bipartisan commits
sion to begin work Immediately upon
the after-war problems. One section
of this bill Is devoted wholly to the
problems the farmer will meet after
the war.
The Northern. farmer has received
little or no consideration from this
Democratic Congress- Everything has
been legislated with view Of taking
care of the Southern tlanter and
Southern agricultural interests. If the
next Congress is controlled by the
Southern cotton interests the same ia
voritism will undoubtedly be shown in
handling reconstruction problems. The
hope Of the Northern farmer having
his interests looked after depends up
on the election Of Republican Con-
gress free from Southern domination.

Phosphorescence on the Moon?

Several European observers Of the
total lunar eclipse Of July As, 1917,
have reported that the brightness of the
lunar disk appeared much greater
around the limb than near the center
These observations lead NJ. A. Nodon
of Bordeaux to revive a suggestion
that has sometimes been made to ac-
count for the brilliancy of certain lu-
mar craters; viz, that the surface Of
the moon may possess a luminosity of
Its own in the nature Of phOsphores-
cence. In that ca(e, perspective would
increase the apparent luminosity to-
ward the limb.-Scientiflc American.

There is an old grandmother's say
ing that "A well baby never cries"
This cannot be accepted literally,
of course. Most of the crying of
babies can be attributed, however, to
discomfort of some sort.
A baby's skin is extremely tender.
1t is quickly irritated by conditions
which would have no effect upon the
tougher skin of an adult.
Next time baby cries or frets, ex-
anime it carefully for redness and
chafing, and whenever they are found
sprinkle gently with 20 Mule Team
Powdered Boric. The irritation will
subside very quickly and baby will
be comfortable again.
20 Mule Boric is better for such
purposes than the many talcum or
baby powders, and less expensive.

Powdered Boric.
