This stuff about the talkative barber
Is all wrong, it appears. A barber
writes Seattle Post-Intelligencer pro-
testing against further misrepresen-
tation. II is the customer who insists
upon opening his heart, he writes. and
the poor barber is obliged TO listen TO
all manner of confidential patter, home
troubles. scandals. and occasionally the
customer spills bum tip on the stock
market and the barber goes broke. 1t
is this latter contingency thai impels
him 10 protest.

In windbreak planting the best re-

shortest trees are placed OF the side

is presented and the air currents are
DETECTED upward. These short trees

dense foliage, in order that they may
offer as much hindrance to the pas

olive is probably the best for this.
Not infrequently. when complaints are
made of the reputed ineffectiveness
of windbreaks it develops upon exami-

used unsuitable species and gisen

The northern half of the plains re-
gion, which includes the eastern por-
tien of Montana, Wyoming and Colo
RADIO and the western portions of the
Dakotas and Nebraska, is character
lied by lower temperatures, heavier
precipitation, and shorter growing
season than the southern half. The
species recommended for it are: Hack
berry, honey locust, white elm, cotton
wood, narrow-leaf cottonwood, white
poplar, white willow, diamond willow,
Russian olive, buffalo berry, Siberian
pea tree, Jack pine, western yellow
pine.
Species for Southern Region.
All the species recommended for
the northern portion of the plains re-
gion may be planted in the southern
portion, which includes southeastern
Colorado, western Kansas and Okla

The following additional species are
recommended: Box elder, green ash,

Many Republicans were rather hope
full that Colonel Roosevelt would make
the race for governor of New York,
having no doubt that he would be elect
ed and that it would be a stepping
stone to the Republican presidential
nomination in 1920. 1t is rather amaz-
ing to observe how many old line Re
publicans, men who fought Roosevelt
so bitterly in 1912, are anxious that
he should be candidate in 1920. IN
less conditions change, according to
what Republicans around Washington
say, Roosevelt's name is sure to go be-
fore the convention two years hence
and what is more, he is likely to be
the nominee if the Democrats hold
their convention first and renominate
Woodrow Wilson.

hington.-ProvoSt Marshal Gen
eral Crowder is responsible for the
most important part of the man power
that must win the war. Under his di-
rection more than 100000 men have
been drafted. This is exclusive of
those who enlisted in the regular army
and the National Guard. These 2.000,-
600 men make up the vast force that
is doing such good work for America
and will continue to do it until the end.

Gently passed young men reaching the
age of twenty-one are subject to the
draft and there are about 100000 of
these, most of them class l men. But
the draft has a rival among these
younger men, in the navy. A large
number of them prefer the more fasci-
mating sea service and enlist in the
navy or in the marine corps because
they prefer the romance of the ocean
to the solid, substantial work of the
army. This is very good thing for
The navy, for it gets all the men it
wants, and of course the very best
Just now General Crowder and his
assistants are making every effort TO
induce the local boards to re-eXamine
and If possible re-classify men who are
IN the deferred classes. 1t is not the
policy of the secretary of war to reach
into the second class if he can avoid
it, but in order to obtain sufficient man
power of the right kind it may be nee
essary to go into the deferred classes,
unless class l be largely increased by
re-ciassificatfOns by the local boards.
1t is possible that the age limit will
be changed if the supply of men can
not be kept up in any other way. There
is very strong desire on the part of
many Of those in charge of the draft
to have the age limit reduced to 20. In
fact many army officers think that the
very best results in the way of soldiers
would be obtained by taking young
men of nineteen and twenty instead
of waiting until twenty-one, as at pres
ent If an army of four or five million
men is raised it will be necessary to
reduce the limit below twenty-one
years and raise 1t above thirty-one.

The day that Senator Gore started
his remarks on the veto of the $40
wheat provision in the agricultural ap-
preparation bill he was just 'going
good" and due to say some very en-
phatic things when Senator Ashurst of
Arizona raised point of order and
forced an adjournment of the senate.
The next time the senate met Gore re-
sumed and remarked that when he was
interrupted he was "more or less sur
charged with the subject. The senate
and the country will never know what
an intellectual and rhetorical treat was
denied them on account of that inter-
ruption." And then he also remarked:
GAS I was saying when the AShurst
rebellion broke out" From remarks
that were made by the Oklahoma SEN
ator previous to the "Ashurst rebel
lion," his speech upon the second at
tempt lacked a great deal of the fire
and criticism it would have contained
if he had not been interrupted and had
three days in which to cool off.

Food prices in Washington range
from 10 to 40 per cent higher
on all articles than in other cities
of the United States. In some
instances it is found that the chief
staples cost nearly twice as much at
the retail places in Washington as
they do in some of the middle West
ern cities. Even after making allow
ance for freight, the range OF prices is
altogether abnormal and shows that
there is a concerted effort in the ma
tional capital to profteer in foods. 1t
has reached a point where the COM
plants are forcing official action and
it is altogether likely that in addi-
ton to legislation which struck at the
rent profteer in the national capital,
there will be some kind of law
passed to save the people who are
compelled to live in Washington from
paying this tribute to those who
handle the food supply of the city.
Investigation thus far does not place
the blame upon farmers, because the
farmers in the vicinity of Washington
do not produce enough food to affect
the prices. The supply grown in the
region surrounding Washington is linn
tied and in many cases absorbed by
cities which can be easily reached by
water - Baltimore, Philadelphia and

on beauty. 1t yearns with sympathy
and glows with fine consciousness OF
the best and most that the nations bat
Ting for justice and freedom can give,
but it does not cease to make eternal
principles and purposes it's guiding
force, its compass and its chart.
Painters still seek and now and
again find the very soul Of natures
varying moods. Sculptors still carve
cold marble into the image Of life and
make it eloquent in its appeal to
thought and feeling. Musicians still
voice the deepest longings Of the spirit
and speak language international
and immortal. Art lives as nature
lives, beyond the power of the most
fearful convulsions of the worlds fury
to destroy or stun into temporary par
alysis.

open to humanity. 1t is monstrous
that any nation should wantonly strike
