President Wilson is about>to sign

Thou shalt not cut off a soldiers

FROM PLENTY TO POVERTY.
Fate often deals Quickly as we'll

Fate often deals quickly as well as
unkindly with individuals. Dis
patches from Petrograd announce
that the former Dowager Empress
Maria Feodorovna of Russia has APP
piled to the council of commissaries
for assistance. She declares she is
destitute in consequence of the con-
fiscation of the funds of the imperial
family.
I The former dowager empress is a
Dane, the daughter of the late King
Christian TX. of Denmark and widow
of the Russian Emperor Alexander
III. She was out of sympathy with
the regime of the latter days of the
Russian court, resenting the influence

DAnDELloNs, poAAToEs, BONDS

Somebody years ago, so the story
goes, sent back east for dandelion
head. She missed on these western
prairies the familiar CLEAN of the
dandelions that covered the worn out
pastures of New England with golt
in their season.
She planted the seed when it came
and raised few dandelions in the
front yard And now all Iowa is
alive with dandelions.
Mike Haverty's old mother When
he brought her over from the "oowld
wurld" after having earned enough 10
do it working as a Farmland, brought
three potatoes with her when she
came. They were of most excel
lent and celebrated variety at Ballyo-
hogan in County Wicklow. And
they were all the old lady claimed
for them. From those three potatoes
came variety famous all over north
ern Illinois. People begged and paid
high for small quantities of seed And
millions of bushels were grown from
the three tubers old Kathleen Haver-
ty put into her meager little bundle
when she left Ireland
"A thrift bond is merely saving
seed. It's little. easy to put into the

PRlMAL MOTIVES OF wAR

+(3y DaVid Starr JOfQan.J
OF the many Influences behind the
present war it is my belief that eco
nomic motives ana motives of inter
national distrust, envy, and haze have
but a secondary place. These are urg-
ed as excuses or qualifications or az
weapons in argument, but no people
on account OF these alone would have
ventured 10 break the peace of the
world
The primal motive behind the war
was internal and political. 1t is part
of the age long struggle against pri.
vilege. One by one the people in eaca
nation have encroached on the per-
quisites of the classes that rule
through inherited power Little by lit
tie democracy has crowded privilege.
Everywhere freedom slowly broad
ems down. from precedent to prece-
dent,' and as freedom broadens. the
scope of aristocracy must be narrowed
The spectacle of an emperor without
an empire" has become increasingly
painful to the war makers of Europe.
The spectacle OF an impotent House OF
Lords has cast shadow Wherever
lords of any kind assemble.
The cause of most modern wars
may be defined as a conspiracy of the
privileged classes to revive their wan
ing power. The gray old sratesisss
who look to war to place their names
in history are the ready allies or tools
of privilege. and the young men are
their sacrifice Very few wars are, IN
a strict sense, International. Each side
has its own war castles and these play
into each others hands. But only I'M
der dynastic rule can the war makers
actually dominate The war spirit in
democratic nations arises through op
position to dynastic purposes or from
fear of their results.
The fact that every year of peace
marks an advance from militarism &c
civilism from privilege to- equality,
from dynastic oligarchy to democracy
has thrown the tendency to revolution
on the other side. Foreign war pre-
sents sharp remedy for internal dis
union or waning patriotism" In other
words, it is needed by the privileged
class to keep down the 'populace" and
to divert the attention of the people
from the abuses of Inherited power.

The NATIONS HIGHWAYS.

Combined forces. of the government,
states and counties will spend for
highway Improvement in 1918 the
amazing total of $500 ,O96,6lO. This is
the announcement contained in the
first detailed survey of the nations
road building plan issued by officials
of the touring bureau of the B. +.
Goodrich Company, who have been in
contact daily for two months with
highway commissioners of the states.
While the sun seems staggering
eelipsing by eighty-two per cent the
expenditures OF any previous year and
in money figures that of 1917 by $11S-
797,750, road officials of the govern
ment and states said it represented
merely drop in the bucket" of what
should be spent before the war was
concluded. They admit the railroad
situation has made imperative lavish
road appropriations-th total of this
year is little better than half what
Secretary McAdoo has announced as
necessary for the upbuilding of The
over taxed American railroad system.
Calculations by government officials
are that with good highways, motor
trucks and motor vehicles are capable
of carrying approximately 200 per cent
more freight than the railroads. In
these same calculations they estimate
the value of our highways at S6,24O.-
900 900.
Data discloses that the productive
possibilities of communities were con-
sidered above all else in determining
the sums to be allotted for road i'm
procement. Thus we notice that the
south and middle west appropriations
exceed those of other regions by many
millions. Texas, for instance, leads
all others with contemplated highway
development, announcing the amazing
assignment of $25 900 900 for read i'm
provement. Last year il spent 5000
900.
A remarkable feature of this years
national program is the over-shadow-
ing OF the automobile industry by the
highway building Industry 1t is adj
mitted that 1917 was the banner year
AZ dht1lhODhC piOuutliON. anu atl
this years figures on road improve

Roughly estimated the expenditures
for highway Improvement is approx

unlimited supply.
For every man in service there
ought to be book in service. That
means at least million more books

They must be replaced frequently.

chased; but every dollar available for

Hundreds of thousands must be OBJ

we will export every grain of
wheat that the American people
save from their normal consump-
ton. We believe our people Will
not fail TO meet the emergency"
Secretary of War Baker assured the
senate committee last week that the
year 1918 will place an additional mil
lion and a half of American soldiers
upon the battlefields of Europe.
. President Wilson, addressing the
farmers of the country one week ago.
pointed out the necessity forsa great
ly increased food supply. If this food
is to be produced to win the war there
must be men to plant and to harvest
the crops that produce it. This year
will see approximately ten million men
from the usual avenues OF
occupation and diverted to the Army
and Navy, to munitions plants, and to
other industries that bear directly up.
on the war.
The largest single hitherto uptapped
available labor source is the two mil
lion boys of 16' years of age and over
who are in the schools, or who are
engaged in unessential occupations.
