AN OPEN LETTER
From the Editor TO the
Farmer.

We are facing a third Liberty Loan
for the sustenance of the war and
perhaps no time is more fitting to get
together and have a little honey talk
TO the farmers of our community.
We are engaged in a tremendous
undertaking, one that calls for sacri-
fee and money, munitions and sup
plies. The day for conservation has
passed and merely talking patriotism
will not get us anywhere.
1t is not believed that the majority
of our farmer folk realize this yet
We say this advisedly because recent
statistics show US that of the income
wealth of the United States during
the past fiscal year, AZ per cent. went
directly to the farmers. and in looking
the matter UP we find that only two
per cent. of them subscribed for or
were holders OF Liberty Bonds.
We make this statement reluctantly
because we were always prone to push
the farmer forward as representing
the bone and sinew and real stability
of the country, we thought he was the
anchor cast to windward
And we don't want to think that
this lapse was intentional on the part
of our agricultural friends We would
rather hold that It is due either from
carelessness or lack of appreciation
Of the condition of affairs as they real
ly are
Shall we lay it up to selfshness or
greed or miserliness or disregard for
others? We don't want to hear the
people of the cities say that the farm
ers are not doing their part and. in
passing, 1t might be mentioned that
accusations of this kind are not in
frequent
This war is a long way off which is
a good thing until we come to con
slider what would happen in the con
duct of some of our people were it
closer because 1t then would be
brought right home to them and no
matter how self-centered they were
they would be pried loose from their
SNUG satisfaction and their precious
dollars
II is q lamentable fact but never
theless true that sometimes a dollar
grows to such proportions that it oblit-
crates the whole surrounding land
scape and when we come to sum II up
In cold. hard figures, so per cent Of
our farmers in this United States Of
ours are war slackers. That is an
ugly term to use and strikes the ear
with a peculiarly discordant note. but
these are figures substantiated by au-
thoritative report and the question is,
what are you going to do about it be-
cause II is up to you"

- CAPITAL COUPONS

A prophet is a person who expects
the unexpected.
Some people try to hide their ig-
norance by saying that they are su-
perstitious.
Most people would rather blame a
man for what he does not than give
him credit for what he does.
Sometimes the business cares of a
man fail TO worry him until he goes
home to dinner
a man may be disappointed in the
friendship of his friends, but he can
generally depend on the enmity Of his
enemies.
Stolen sweets are often hard to di-
gest.
Thrift and stinginess are similar,
Dut now inherent.
Contenment consists in having a
great deal to do and doing it,
Russia is so badly cut up it will
take long time to pick up the
pieces
When his finish came Abdul Hamid
said he was satisfied and willing to
go. We don't doubt it, He had 300
wives.
All of us endorse the Stamp Act
now in force. But endorsement is not
enough Buy EN-.

ONE TOUCH OF ART.

War because of the hate il engen-
ders, Is personal; but art, the beauti
full in all fields Of development is
impersonal in that it appeals TO the
soul of the world and not to it's pre-
JUDGES. A recent episode in Paris
proves this assertion beyond contro-
versy
Charles Camille Saint-Saems, the
venerable and distinguished com
poser, demanded that at public con
certs the Hungarian march in the
"Damnation OF Faust" be eliminated,
believing that France wanted moth
ing from the other side OF the
trenches. French music, he appear
ed to think. was the only music for
Frenchmen. But when the concert
was about to begin, the bandmaster
stepped to the front of the stage and
asked the audience if it wished the
famous march omitted. Overwhelm-
ingly came the negative answer and
the orchestra swung into the splendid
strains The audience listened with
its usual delight, setting the seal of
approval on the music; but with
Characteristic patriotism and humor,
they applauded softly, shifting to-
gether the tips of their fingers. Here
was the true Freuchman-loyal to his
country, but quite as loyal, also, to
the genius that could set such
strains of music swinging to the
stars
And thus it will be with all cultur-
ed and refined peoples. They recog
nize that art is above all national
bonds; that il is an expression of uni
versal uplift, and they stand bare
headed in the presence of genius as
she yields her baton or plies brush
or picks up her pen or chips at her
flawless marble. OF course the
words to music make the airs seem
national but the music in itself is inn
personal. So is a fine painting or
gloriously carved fgure-the color
the bending, the grace and symmetry
might be of one country quite as well
as of another.
The picture or the illumination that
seeks to humiliate one nation to the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of another is not the
all-compelling art of which we have
reference when we say that art is i'm
personal a figure of Victory may be
German or French; a splendid invo-
cation to patriotism belongs to all
people into whose language it is
translated; a stirring bit of music is
part of the worlds great heart and
mays be set to the dreams and the as
pirations of all countries.
That is why Paris listened breath
lessly to the Hungarian music. while
out in the trenches France faces
Hungary in a death grapple.
One touch of art. as well as pity,
makes the whole world kin.

FARMERS TO THE RESCUE.

Naturally, when the nation entered
the war on April 6, 1917, there was
much confusion and apprehension as
to the possibility of increasing or
even of maintaining agricultural pro-
duction. There was special concern
as to the sufiiciency of the supply of
labor that would be available for
farming operations and much appre-
hension was manifested over the dis
turbance of the supply as the result
of industrial demands and the draft
ing or volunteering of men for serv-
ice in the army and navy. AS mat
ter Of fact. there was no little dis
turbance and in some sections the
situation was especially acute. There
were other difficulties confronting
the farmers. including those of Sc
curing fertilizer and machinery in
sufficient quantities at a reasonable
cost.
Notwithstanding all the difficulties,
however, the farmers. periodically
responding TO the appeals TO them
and influenced by the prevailing
prices. labored energetically to meet
the needs of this nation for food and
also those of the friendly nations in
Europe. They planted the largest
acreage in the history of the coun-
try, produced and harvested record
crops Of most products except wheat,
and succeeded in increasing not only
work animals, but meat and milk
animals

To the Editor Of Evening Capital:
The Food Administration have is
sued orders that in the purchase of
wheat -four an equal amount of some
other cereal must be purchased.
a client of mine from the country
told me that he was hiring five hands
to whom he paid wages. and gave an
allowance, and in this allowance, was
one bushel of cornmeal per month ;
that he had mill on his farm. ground
his own cornmeal and made his own
hominy; that notwithstanding these
facts, neither he nor his hired help
could buy -four without buying some
other cereal in equal amount
/ wrote the Food Administrator in
Baltimore and received a letter from
him stating that upon proof of such
facts that the grocers could sell
flour to customers without any sale of
any other cereals.
therefore ask you to publish
this letter for the benefit of the peo-
pie who supply themselves with corn
meal and hominy so that they can get
their flour withuot having to buy
something they do not need.
