1t is practically assured that the
United States has doubled the con-
tributiOn of one hundred million
asked for by the Red Cross. 1t is a
remarkable record that the people of
this nation should be able to give
i'm one weeks time a cash cOntribu.
ton amounting to practically So
per capita. 1t indicates not only
the pitch of generosity to which we
have been aroused but also the re.
markable condition of prosperity
that seems to have come upon us.
All our philosophy leads up to
think that it is natural instinct to ac-
quire rather than to give. and to
spend for the satisfying of our de.
sires rather than to donate gener-
Ously to charitable and altruistic en-
terprises. Therefore, the amount of
our free gift betOkens the awaken
ing of spirit of fraternity and un-
selfishness not altogether inspired
by the realization of common peril.
We shall come out of this war
people purified of many of our for
mer unpleasant characteristics. and
it is to be expected that We shall
attack the problems of recOnstruc-
ton of the worlds commerce and
society in spirit of wider intelli-
gence and sympathy? We have
sprung suddenly from province
into a leading nation. perhaps the
foremost in the world. and it is well

Unpopular Farming.

The day will come when the far.
mer who takes more plant food out
OF the soil than he puts back will
be very unpopular man. We are
gradually coming to the point where
we must build for the future and
where the question of soil fertility
will be so generally understood that
robbing the soil will be recognized
as such. and the man who practices
that kind OF farming will be looked
down upon by his neighbors. The
soil is not a mine from which any
man is at liberty to withdraw diyi-
dends in the form of crops perma.
nently, putting nothing at all back.
The soil must not be exhausted to
the point where profit ceases. Gen.
erously enriched with essential plant
food, it will continue to produce
profitable crops without end. Prac-
ticing a system of permanent soil
fertility is not only profitable but is
the only method fair to future gen.
