A committee composed of members
Of a number Of farming organizations
recommended to President Wilson that
the draft law be applied to farm work
ers who are not continuously en-
ployed in some agricultural pursuit.
Under this arrangement, after farm
er had done all that was required on
his own farm (lf that ever happens)
he could be ordered by a draft board
to go over and help some neighbor who
was behind in his work. AS COM
pensation for this he would be given
badge. The president declined to
make use of this idea, but gave his mp
proval to a proposition for enrolling
the farmers into an organization to do
such work voluntarily.

FORGET ME-N0TS
BY G. E. WooD8ERRY
of the Vicllantes.

The blue of the forget-me-nots
A humble beauty wears;
But the same light is in their leaves
That powders heaven with stars;
1t minds me Of blue leglons
That packed the great advance.
The sparkle of the. dancing eyes
In the blue CT fighting France.
The violet of the ocean.
The gentian of the sky.
I've loved them all my life, aRc now
My life is passing by;
A prayer to thee. kind heavenl
A kiss to thee, bright wavel
But the blue of the forget-me-nots
Smiles from my hero's grave.

When control of the senate passes
to the Republicans there will be an in
teresting shifting Of chairmanships. OF
the most important committees the fol-
lowing are likely to be chairmen: APP
preparations, Warren of Wyoming /;
banking and currency, Mclean Of
Connecticut; finance, Penrose of Penn
sylvania; foreign relations, Lodge Of
Massachusetts; judiciary Nelson of
Minnesota; commerce, Jones of Wash
ington; agriculture, Page or Vermont;
Interstate commerce, Cummins of
Iowa; military affairs, Wadsworth of
New York; naval affairs, Poindexter
OF Washington; post offices, Townsend
Of Michigan.
Probably Senator Lodge will have
his choice Of two other positions, that
of being majority leader, or president
pro tcmpore of the senate. But more
than either, the great qualification to
him will be the Craftsmanship of the
foreign relations committee at one of
the most important periods of our his
tory.

Indications are that trade between
nations will be humming after the
war. Already the department of COM
merce has arranged a program call
ing for large increase in the number
of commercial attaches in foreign
countries. There are only IL of these
attaches at present, but the depart
ment has asked congress to approprl-
ate for Is altogether. Commercial at
taches are employed for their ability
to scent business from distance, re-
port on trade conditions In foreign
countries and give advice and assist
ance to American firms desiring to do
business with foreign houses. Great
Britain proposes TO have % of these
attaches in her service, and Germany
will probably have more than all other
countries together. She will probably
need them.

Judging from reports that have been
received, there is a whole lot OF work
for the Red Cross to do in the Holy
Land. and all the neighboring regions.
Some sections Of that territory have
been under Turkish military rule for
four years and what happened to the
Christians In that time can be mag
ined. As usual. the Red Cross Is not
waiting for any grass to grow under
It's feet. Things are humming In that
part Of the world: hospitals are being
established and additional workers are
on their way. Probably a large por-
ton Of the money collected In the com

Already there has been speculation
as TO the organization of the house of
representatives and also In regard to
the chairmanships of the several com-
mttees. The selection Of q speaker
will have something to do with the
chalrmanships. If Congressman Gil
lett of Massachusetts Is elected speak
err the Craftsmanship Of the important
committee on appropriations would 20
to Good of Iowa, but If Gillett is not
speaker he will be chairman Of that
committee. Other chairmanships OF
first class committees are likely to be
as follows: Ways and means, Ford
ney of Michigan agriculture, Haugen
of Iowa; banking and currency, Hayes
of California; foreign affairs, Porter
Of Pennsylvania interstate and for
eign commerce, Esch of Wisconsin;
judiciary, Volstead of Minnesota mill
tary affairs. Kahn Of California; naval
affairs, Butler Of Pennsylvania: post
Offices, Stevenson of Minnesota pub
lie lands, La Toilette Of Washington.
The men thus named are ranking Re
publican members of these committees
at the present time. OF course there
may be a number of upsets in these
calculations but the probabilities are
that nearly all Of the ranking Repub-
llcan members of committees will be
advanced TO chairmanships, particular
IL Il the house elects the committees
and they are not appointed by the

An interesting setter was put ont by
the National Woman's Liberty Loan

Americans to be far better paid than

United States army gets 81 a day.;
in Great Brltain's forces he gets 80

How are the mighty fallen" Ro-
nance is nearly gone from war nova
days. Not only from war between men,
but in the older war of men upon ami
mails. Fifty years ago our Westerners
killed wild animals for what? For
their meat, their skins, or possibly in
some instances because the animals
came after them. Hundreds of men
made their living by hunting then
where one does now. There are a
great many hunting parties which go
out and trough it" for a couple OF
weeks or a month. But the men who
make their living hunting are making
IT by working for the department Of
ngriculture-shooting and trapping
sheep-killing wolves. coyotes, mountain
lions and bears.

Quite a number of American boys
who have had more or less hazy idea
that kings were the worst class Of peo-
pie on earth, may come back from Eu-
rope after the war with a different
view on that subject. King George OF
England seems to be making himself
solid with the Yanks. He has eaten
"hapjacks" and apple pie and chatted
with any number Of wounded soldiers
ut hospitals In England. That Is one
of the great benefits TO be got from
this war. There is not man who
canes back from Europe who wiz not
have gained n clearer and truer view
Of other peoples. Whether or no. II
has any good points, no one can dlsy
that war is a great educator.

The recent election rearranges a
number Of presidential states. Natu-
rally the victory of the Republicans
gives them a great deal of cnh-
dence, and they hope to elect the
next president. 1t is pointed out that
for more than 80 years the success of
a party at the midterm congressional
elections has forecast the result of the
next presidential election.
Generally speaking, politicians be-
lieve that the election has given candi-
dates other than President Wilson or
Secretary McAdoo quite boost, and
eyes have been turned toward Cover
nor Cox of Ohio. In fact, 1t might
happen that both candidates In 1920
would be from Ohio, as Senator Hard
ing might be the Republican nominee.
1t is generally conceded that the
election removes at least two eastern
candidates, Senator Weeks of Massa-
chusetts and Governor Whitman of
New York, thus in the East clearing
the way for Colonel Roosevelt If he
should make the race.

When In 1904 Missouri voted for
Roosevelt and elected a Republican
United States senator she earned the
sobriquet, "The Mysterious Stranger"
Once more Missouri cast its vote for
a Republican when Taft was elected
in zoos. And now. contrary to all ex-
pectatIons, Missouri returns q Repub-
lican United States senator, and here
after that state will be considered de-
batable political territory.
Events inervened to prevent Champ
Clark from realizing his great cmbl-
lion. He wanted to be the one man
who was elected speaker Of the house
Of representatives for more than four
successive times. There hdke been
only three men who were elected
speaker for four successive times.
One was Stevenson Of Virginia and the
other two were Cannon Of Illinois and
Clark Of Missouri Henry Clay was
elected six times. but not successfully
and then serving only short periods.
