 Nriopy Wgelns just heard the other day that there was some trouble over in France. He don't know where France is or how to get there, but there has never been any real trouble around that he couldn't get into be- fore, so he was sent down to the re- demption board.

WnN lhc ana sam Patch don't Che fellows who put out them there bulletins learn Co write" is what thc Stroller ire queuuy hears when he stops in front Of @ bulletin window or board these days in Juneau where crowds gather Co read and discuss the la- test war news. And this reminds the Stroller that the average lay man knows very little about prcpar- ing war bulletins, for when a man deciphcrs Che average "wire" Inc is usually SO worn out that he is not able Co write logibly.
 Besides. as a rule. people who send war bulletins have a weakness for using big words and this makes the work Of Che translator an the more difficult
 The Stroller once read a war story told by Billy Sunday which convinced him chat Billy should quit preaching and become a war correspondent for the reason that he can compile news that wayfarcrs can understand os is proven by his oc- count of che meeting Of David and Goliath. which he describes as fol- lows.
 "All Of che sons of Jesse except David went on to the war; they left David at home because he was only a dd After a while David's ma got worried. She wondered what had become of his brothers. because they hadn't tclcphoncd Co her or sent word. so she said Co David. "Dave, you go down there and see whether they are an right
 "So David pikcs on Co where She war is. and Che first morning he was there out comes this biz Go- Hath. a bog strapping fellow about II feet tall who commenced Co shoot on his mouth as to what he was going Co do.

 Oh he's Che whole works; he's Che head cheese of the Philistincs. He does that little stunt every day
 Say said David, you fellows make me sick Why don't some of you go out and soal, that guy? You let him get away with that stun!' Tie decided to go out and tell Go- Hath where Co head in.

 The Stroller submits that tho above is a mighty good war bulletin and if Billy Sunday ever becomes a war correspondent. the Stroller promises to patronizc him exclu- sivoly.

hing. A very small sum of money put into tho hands of men Of thought, experience and vision win ! give us a program which will mako ms feel entirely confident that we are not to be submerged, industrially or otherwise. by labor which we will not be able Co absorb, or that we would be ln a condition where we would show a lack of respect for those who return as heroes, but who will be without means Of imme Hate sclf-support.
 Not a Charity to the Soldier
 This plan does not contemplate anything like charity to the soldier. He is not to be given a bounty. He is not to be made to feel that ho is a dependent. On the contrary he is to continue i'm a scnso in the service of the government. Instead of de- stroying our enemies, he is to dovel- op our resources
 The work tha is to be done, ether than the planning, should be done by thc soldier himself. The dam or Che irrigation project should be built by him; the canals, the ditches, tho breaking of the land, and Che building of the houses should, under proper direction, be his occupation. He should be allowed to make his own home. cared for while he is doing lt. and given an interest in the land. for which he can pay through a long period of years per haps 90 or 40 years. This same pol icy can be carried out as to other classes of land. So that the soldier on his return would have an oppor- tunity Co make a home for himself, to build a home with money which we would advance and which he would repay, and for the repayment we would have an abundant secur- lty. The farms should not loo turn ed over as the prairics were -un- broken, unfcnced, without accommo- dations for men or animals. There should be prepared homes an Of which can be constructed by the men themselves and paid for by them under a system of simple de- yising by which modern methods of finance will be applied to their needs.
 Not a Utopian Vision
 AsI have indicated, this is not mere Utopian vision. It is. with slight variations, a policy which oth- or countries arc pursuing success fully. Tho plan is simple. ] will undertake Co present to congress def mite projects for the development of this country through the use of the returned soldier by which the United States, by lending it's credit may increase its resources and its population and tho happiness of its people with a cost Co itself of no more than the few hundred thousand dollars that it will take to study this problem through competent men. This work should not be postponed.
 Cordially and faithfully yours.

Seed Bed For Wheat

Wheat should have a firm, well com
pacted soil.
A firm seed-bed is absolutely neces
sary if the subsoil water is to be uti
lied by the young wheat plant. Or
loose, poorly packed soil there is such
poor connection between the soil par
ticles that moisture cannot be raised
by capillary attraction from the sub,
soil, and, in consequence. much OF
the seed will fail TO terminate because
it does not get proper moisture.
Put your wheat in just as soon a.
you can get on the ground.
