Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1918-02-08

1t is absolutely amusing to see a
young bud in his twenties and with
out experience in farming trying to
tell an old successful farmer how to
raise corn. 1t is alright to instruct
the old timer in the latest methods
of testing seed corn or determining
the chemical properties of the soil
but in seeding and cultivatine ex-
perience will beat theory all the
time.

Not Wholly Lost.

War is a great educator-a cruel
and hieh-priced one, but teacher
of many wholesome and valuable
lessons nevertheless. 1t creates
hard, driving necessities for self.sac.
rifice, service and thrift to which
we must respond And in accept
ing the duties thus laid upon Us we
arc made stronger. cleaner and bet
ter. Our eyes are oper ed to the
great value of things that were
overlooked before or were unseen.
With equal clearneSs we see the
senselessness and wrong Of much
that we had thought was necessary
and proper
The American people are just
&rasping the solemn fact that they
are at war. 1t has not been pre-
scented to them in the naked reality
of contact, and casualty lists mum
bering thousands. An ocean rolls
between US and that other ocean of
woe 10 France and Belgium. where
''they say the very ground is car
peted with pain" And our feet are
as yet only on the red threshold of
a stern future. But everywhere a
great change has come about in
our people, in their manner of liv-
ing. their habits. There is less sell
fishness, complaining, pleasure seek
ing and aimless living. There is
very much more sacrifice, service
and patience.
Aiintolerance of greed and ineffic
iency daily becomes more evident
The Stacker" and the "profteer" are
new terms that we are learning to
use with full purposed condemna-
ton. And we are finding cures for
the evils they represent. Greed
must 90, patriotism dominate. The
sacred cause fer which we went to
war must win. Nothing will be
permitted to interfere. That is the
spirit which war is quickening in
the American people. 1t is teach
ing usspractical, wholesome lessons
in better living, better business and
betterjgovernment. that will be for
our physical and spiritual good
through all the years to come.
Yes, war is an educator. stern.
pitiless and terrible. 1t may some
times seem an unmixed evil, as un-
recompensed pain. But we must
not yield to that thought for it is
not true.

II there is a good corn crop pro-
duced in the corn belt of the United
States the coming season we may
look for the largest hog production
this country ever dreamed of. The
country is reasonably clear of hog
diseases and all that is lacking is a
good corn crop.

The man who says it doesn't pay
to advertise is in a class with the
one who says it doesn't pay to court
a girl; on the theory that she knows
him, knows where he keeps himself,
knows that he is in the market for
a wife, and all she has to do is to
hunt him up.

The citizens of Monroe are pretty
generally observing the government
food regulations. About the only
murmur heard is the prices charged
by the dealers for some of the wheat
substitutes. They complain that
more than 100 per cent profit is
charged for some articles. Whole
wheat -four is priced at s cents per
pound. Figure it yourself.

The Maryland Compulsory Labor |

The Maryland Compulsory Labor Law,
which was passed by the special session Of the
Legislature Of 1917, has received the highest
commentator at home, from Government adj
illustrative sources, and from all parts Of the
Union. Other States are rapidly passing SINH
lar legislation, following cIosel y the Mary land
statute. The Maryland law gives ample pro-
lection to labor The Provost Marshall-G Gene
raj, by authority Of the President, has directed
that no one shall be exempted from military
service or placed in deferred classification, on
account Of dependency, or any other cause,
save physical disability, unless he is engaged in
some occupation that is essential or useful to the
winning of the war. The Provost Marshall
has not defined what are useful or essential en-
Payments, but he has named the occupations
that are not useful or necessary towards winning
the war.
The State authorities are determined to use
every agency Of the Maryland law to see to it
that while our boys are fighting, and many of
them dying for us, there shall be no idlers in
MARYLAND; and by idlers is meant all those who
are not regularly and steadily at work. Food
must be raised sufficient for ourselves and our
allies, and any one now, regardless Of his color
or social position, who does not do his utmost,
much less remain mostly idle, does not deserve
anything but the strongest condemnation Of all
patriotic citizens. There should be no idlers in
Maryland and Work or Fight" must be our
motto.
