Cooked HATING BILL.

Mr.. Bryan was an interested and an
interesting spectator in the House
when that body voted on the prohibit
ton amendment to the Constitution.
He was much elated at the victory Of
the drys; and he predicts that within
three years the country will have rati-
fed the amendment and that the IL
quor issue will not be in evidence in
the next Presidential campaign. In
that case, Mr.. Bryan will not be a can
didate. There is no other issue upon
which he can seek the nomination.
He has tried Sixteen-to-one; he has
tried Anti-imperialism; he has tried
the tariff. OF course, he might try
pacifism-but if the war is not over by
1920, there will be a determination so
grim and so widespread to see it
through to the bitter end that none but
the most vigorous of war advocates
can be in the running for any Office.

o WARMING.

General Leonard Wood once gave
some sound advice in answer to a wo-
mans inquiry, How Can 1 Help" The
suggestions carry all the more weight
because they are the same that he has
been making for many years and be-
cause recent events have demonstrate
ed his provision. He said, among 9TH
er things: eff you love your husbands
and brothers, see to it that they are
given a sporting chance; that they are
well trained, well led, and well pre-
pared in time of peace-not sent, has
tily trained, to meet men of other ma
lions whose people are just as peace
loving as you are. but who have been
far wiser, more ~far-seeing, and are
sending their sons and husbands to
battle well equipped and well organic
ed" General Woods light has not
been hidden under a bushel all these
years, though he may be obscured for
a time by assignment to a cantonment
instead of the firing line.

IT sTUMPEo ADAM SMITH.

1t was to be expected hat when alb.
normal conditions sent prices on an
upward swing, they would swing to a
higher point than conditions actually
justified. That is always the case.
When abnormal conditions bring on a
panic, prices shoot downward and
reach a low point not justified by ac-
tual conditions. When scarcity exists,
-possessors of goods ask an unconscion-
able price. When a surplus is on hand,
purchasers buy at an unconscionable
price. Many a farmer has sold his
grain, butter, eggs, live stock and veg
etables at less than cost of production.
Nobody condemned the as
criminals for thus taking the farmers
product at a price that meant poverty
and want for him and his family. Men
who have a surplus of goods must sell
at the price they al get. In case of
scarcity, those who have the goods
have always been able to name the
price, within limits. The man who car
devise a plan which will insure the
producer a fair price in times of sur
plus and protect the consumer from
excessive prices in case of scarcity,
will go down in history as the greatest
economist of all time.

NATURE HELPS OUT.

The American corn crop Is the
greatest OF record. 1t exceeds by over
100000 bushels the largest previous
yield and reaches the enormous total
of 3,191, 0S3, 900 bushels. 1t will he no.
ticed that the yield per acre is not ex
cept.onal; the season is characterized
by the department of agriculture as
having been 'unfavorable," but the
acreage was the most extensive in the
history of American agriculture, the
Western farmers having responded en-
ergetically to the unprecedented need.
AS was to be expected, the country
has grown more potatoes than V e be-
fore, and in this crop we of the East
have had a special share, says Provi.
dence Journal. 1t would be interest
ing to know how many Americans have
actually been potato raisers this year.
We may be sure that a large propu.'-
ton Of those who tried the experiment
in 1917 will repeat it in 1918 in the in
terest of intelligent patriotism and also
because their experience has given
them a taste for modest adventure in
gardening. Buckwheat is up to the
average, f1axseed is Every disappoint-
ing, the tobacco crop is the greatest
on record, and cranberries are scarce"
On the whole, nature and nan in close
partnership have done well.

Food requirements vary not only as
to the individual, but also as to the
character of his activities. Expert
ments have shown that a man of aver
age size may require for adequate
nourishment all the way from 1,5OO
to 5000 calories per day. The mini
mum represents what is essential to
the nourishment of an average sized
ton, while the maximum is the need
of men performing the hardest kind
of manual labor out of doors. While
the subject of food conservation is
uppermost these statistics are of es-
pecial interest.

FORGET THAT WE REMEMBER?

President Wilson has sent to all the
executive departments a copy of Sec
rotary Redfeld's letter to his bureau
chiefs, in which this suggestion &C.
ours: Forget how things were done
before the war. Eliminate red tape"
The eliminating can be achieved. The
forgetting will be a harder matter.
The parents of many an American lad
slain on the ~battlefields of Europe, or
dead from pneumonia in one of our
army camps, will have mute reminder
of how things were done. and what
things were not done, before the war,
The memory of them may well cause
a presidential SILVER.

The American soldiers were not en-
tirely pleased with the designation of
Sammies, nor did they care to be call
ed Teddies. Now it seems a number
of them have devised for themselves
the designation of Johnnyyanks, which
suggests the reunion of the South
and the North under "Old Glory"
that was exemplified in the Spanish
war. There is a historic significance
in Johnnyyank which may help 1t to
win out. Why shouldn't the prefer
ences of the brave fellows most con-
cerned be consulted in regard to the
name by which they are to be called
by those who admire and love them?
The worst thing that can be said of
Johnnyyank is that it is a longer word
than headliners like to handle.

The women are now able to laugh
at the men. From time immemorial
men have chided women for the
amount of cloth they waste In gar
ments; yet the governments economy
board has found that while women
can save 25 per cent by adopting the
proposed clothes models demanded by
the shortage of wool, men can save 40
per cent in material. Most men will
be unable to figure how this saving
can be effected, unless by the adoption
of the two-piece suit in summer and
by turning a coat into q mere Jacket.
But probably the economy board knows
what 1t is talking about.
