Chicago.-Retail business has been
retarded by weather conditions this
week, but wholesalers report liberal
distribution Of merchandise, and buy
ing for next fall Is on a scale heavier
even than the large demand at the cor
responding time last year.
Almost the whole line OF textiles
shows a tendency TO advance, but high
prices do not deter merchants from any
outlay necessary to replenish their
stocks. In many kinds of goods, 1t Is
no longer a question Of price, but one
of getting the fabrics from the mills.

Minneapolis.-Sale with wholesalers
in most lines were considerably less
than in the preceding week, but de-
mand Is strong, and there Is a large
volume Of orders on hand for spring
delivery. Business, at department
stores Is brisk, retail sales in most
lines are holding up we'll and prospects
for spring trade are favorable.
Omaha-Sales during the past year
apparently have reached all eXpecta-
lions. and in some lines have exceeded
them, particularly in implements and
farm equipment, in which extensive
government advertising has no doubt
been a large factor. Collections are
generally reported as good, altho ham

New Pattern For Sweater.

The Massachusetts division Of the
woman's committee OF the council of
national defense showed samples of
"workless sweaters" ambulance caps.
and crutch pads at the monthly con-
ference.
These articles. instead Of being
knitted, were made Of heavy, double
faced eider-down flannel. This mate
rial comes In khaki and gray. is thick.
warm, and so closely woven that it
garments.
The advantage Of these garments Is
not the saving OF expense attached. but
the saving OF time In construction.
Twelve women in wollaston, Mass,
working twenty-nine days. recently
made 100 sweaters. seventeen ambu-
lance pads, and seventy crutch pads
from the odd pieces left from the other
articles.
The sweater Is cut in one piece.
joined on the shoulder and under one
arm. The slit for the neck is rounded
out in front and slightly slashed at two
points to give extra room in putting
on. and allowing it to fit closely round
the neck The bottom OF the sweater
is shaped like a mans shirt. only short
er. Instead Of taking in a seam the
edges are brought together fiat and
sewn close back and forth over and
over. The outside edges are finished
with coarse button hole stitch. For
extra strength around the neck, a row
OF single crochet Is made in button
holed edge.
The ambulance cap consists OF cir

fashion Of the silk skull caps sometimes
worn by bald-headed men. to which Is

old dog, and the farmer poked his head

And then he looked over and saw Uncle
Lucky and Billy Bunny. And then you

Why. he laughed 70 hard that a shingle

GET INTO TINE WAR WITH WHEAT.

A patriotic farmer living south and
west OF LeGrand has called at the
Times-Republican office to urge that
all county and township councils of de-
Tense arrange for local elevators to
provide some seed wheat for spring
sowing. When asked whether spring
wheat would do well in this part Of
Iowa he replied that he did not know
but that he intended to SOW thirty
acres Of il anyway as his contribution
70 the war. It's my patriotic duty to
raise wheat if can and see no rea-
son why I can't, We did not think
that We could raise winter wheat ten
wears ago, but We can"
There should ne no doubt about
spring wheat in Iowa. Many a farmer
now living remembers the great lines
OF wagons standing at the elevators in
an early day waiting for their turn TO
dump. Spring wheat was raised on
prairie sod and also on corn ground.
Our soil has had a rest from wheat
for generation and it will raise spring
wheat again.
It is every farmers duty TO get into
this war with his best effort. He should
SOW wheat and raise more hogs and
ask no question as to whether il will
pay. Big business men are working In
Washington for 81 per annum who
have given up s25 200 salaries at home.
Farmers can SOW few acres of wheat
and care for half a dozen extra sows
without thought Of their profits. Coun-
ellis Of defense can organize them.
Ihis FARMER was right. Every patriot
should get into the war if he can. and
ne can when he has a farm on which
TO raise wheat and hogs.

WHICH KIND OF GRINNELL PSYCHOLOGY?

A Grinnell professor is to go to an
Psychology it appears is now part Of
a soldiers preparation for war Strange
as fit may seem there's doubtless some
thing in it. Psychological understanding
Of an enemy ought to help some in war
as in poker game or business or any
where else where man IS matched
against man to win or lose.
But what kind Of psychological in
struction is the professor to give and
why? This is life and death game
he is mixing in. one of those games
where two meet and but one goes
away The big stake lies on the show
down.
He is to help make fighting man, to
tage in battle. Will he start by course
in the history of Germany scientific
and musical and her achievements, dis
playing her greatness on banners and
sounding her splendors in trumpet
tones while avoiding mention Of the
most brutal conception Of conquest the
world has ever known, covering the
policy of frightfulness and the facts OF
atrocious deeds behind screen OF
words woven into a half apology for
the entrance of his country into the
war? Or Is he going to the camps to
unveil the mental processes of a people
who could deliberately plan the piracy
Of the globe and carry on Its purpose
without thought Of human liberty or
Of human suffering, coldbloodedly.
cruelty, calculating as the stockman
breeds animals for the slaughterhouse
and his own advantage? VIII he stir
the spirit and steel the souls Of men
against those whose warfare against
men marked new era Of savagery and
whose treatment Of conquered women
must go back 1000 years to find its
parallel Of shame and outrage? Or
shall he sit, like hen on ADDED eggs,
striving vainly to hatch white doves OF
peace from the eggs Of vultures!
The psychology Of this war is to win
it for the safety of human liberty. IL
it IS to be so won 1t must be won in
battle where men die for an idea
Where also they kill each other for an
idea. The act of war Is the act OF
killing and wounding. The winning or
war is the injury inflicted upon an
opponent. An idea however true must
be backed with artillery in war. What
ever is true Of the ultimate in the pre-
sent the idea backed by stern fighting
men and high explosives wins.
Which kind Of psychology will the
Grinnell professor teach?

rooouamon6 Attons Of tire GovemmentA a
they ohseFvs the wheatless and meat
lass days and the whsatlsss and meat
less meal schedules stipulated. they
may find that the diminished supplies
are sufficient to cover the period With
out causing any scarcity or want.
If they. do not do this. II consump-
ton continues undated in spite Of the
diminishing Of the available supply,
the inevitable consequence will pc
found In a shortage of bread. meat. ana
fats from which everybody will suner.
We know now what a coal shortage
Is. We know what 1t Is to close up
stores and industries and to have even
the upkeep OF homes threatened, 10
have the schools closed and the norman
life Of the nation changed.
All this happened because when
there was time given for protective
measures and for prudential courses no
proper action was taken. The serious
ness Of the consequences Is apparent.
II households want to experience
shortage In bread, beef, and fats II
they want to know how unsatisfactory
a German diet Is, they can put them
selves In q way Of making the dis
covery by continuing now as II the
supply were undiminished.
In this fashion people may soon come
to learn the vexation Of waiting in line
before the bake shops and butcher
shops to obtain a ration of bread ana
meat. These bread and meat lines are
known in Europe, not alone in Ger
many but in the nations we are trying
to supply.
Time Is given Americans now to avoid
this and distribute their diminished
supplies so that they will be available
for the entire period they must serve
and so that deprivation will not be
shock but will be only restriction cas-
lily imposed and easily sustained.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

LONG YEARS, SHORT DAYS.
Huntington Hawkeye.l

In schools in various parts of the
state q new order has gone into eff
feet. School keeps six days per week
now, and thus it will be possible to
cover the ground assigned for the year,
and still close three or four weeks ear
lier. And that will give the husky lads
an opportunity to get busy on the
farms, and to get a lot of valuable in
formation regarding agriculture, and at
the same time to earn some money that
can be invested in thrift and saving
stamps. 1t is just possible that the
result may be six days of school in
years to come, but instead Of extending
the vacations these will be shortened,
by and by. The work that is to be done
could be made more thorough or much
more could be undertaken, II there
were twelve school months in the year.
And Of course II there were six days
of school the work would be making
still better progress.

If necessary we will send twenty

will have the ships to do it If every
one will only do his share in talking
enthusiastically along constructive

"Our great need is ships. and the
greatest mistake the United States

failing to pass the shipping bill, the
fight for which was led by the retir-
ing president Of this organization"
Among the other speakers was
Senator Fletcher, who reviewed the
work of the congress. Mayor James
II. Preston, of Baltimore, welcomed
