"LET'S Col"

d Those who attend the state fair do so for
one of three reasons:
They go for instruction because they
feel it is the best way to keep in touch
with all that is new in the farming and in
dustrial life of the state; they go from
sense of duty because they feel they
should support such worthy institution;
they go out of curiosity and seeking
amusement.
No one Of these three classes Of at
q PENDANTS will be disappointed this year.
Never was there better opportunity to
study the growth and development of the
state s industries; never was the i'm
! portance of this development so great, and
never has better entertainment been Of

rs A NAVAL BATTLE PROBABLEq


Provided Germany has been able to
seize all the vessels Of the Russian navy in
both the Baltic and Black seas, the posi-
bility Of great naval battle is increased,
as it is estimated by naval authorities that
the strength Of the German navy would be
increased at least Is per cent by such adj
ditions.
The present strength Of the German
navy is causing much speculation in Allied
circles. The naval officers are chiefly in
terested in the battleships and battle
cruisers in the Russian fleet, and in the
number of these dreadnaughts Germany
has been able to build since the war be-
gan. Russia is known to have had at least
eight modern battleships Of the dread
naught type in the Baltic and Black seasa
and four battle cruisers building.
There have been conflicting reports as
to what became Of these vessels. Some are
reported to have been sunk by their Off
GERS, and others fell into German hands
Provided Germany got all Of them, her
fleet would again be second in strength,
surprising the American navy, but rank
ing below Great Britain's.
The other big uncertain factor is the
output Of the German yards since the be-
ginning Of the war Even allowing for all
possible speeding up, it does not seem
possible that this output can equal the
output Of the Allied yards.
The one danger, to be feared is sud-
den sortie by the entire German fleet,
which would catch part of the Allied fleet
mapping. The Allied commanders have
been watching for four years for just such
sortie, and with the highly perfected pa
troll of the North sea, it is doubtful if the
German fleet could poke its nose out Of
the Kield canal without a score of wire
less messages recording the fact instantly.

THE NEW TAXES.

about the serious nature Of the war, they
win heeremoved with the passage Of the
proposed new revenue bill.
( The luxury taxes" being considered by
congress to raise the tremendous sum Of
eight billions, will make most of us revise
our definition Of what constitutes al
Fs.necessity'.
! The bill proposes such taxes as so per
cent on all retail sales of jewelry, includ-
ing watches and clocks; 20 per cent on
automobiles, bicycles, motorcycles and &C.

more than $50 and mems wearing apparel
Of all kinds selling for more than certain
fixed sums; taxes on womens clothing
selling above certain fixed price; taxes
on all ornamental house fixtures and fur

The tax On alcoholic beverages will be
doubled; tobacco taxes will be doubled.
Foraevery male servant kept, "a tax of 25
per cent Of his wages will be collected.
One female servant only will be allowed,
and all others will be taxed. The tax on
club dues and theater admissions will be
doubled. a straight tax Of 10 cents a
gallon of gasoline is suggested.

"Of Old The Good Ships
Thundered"

BY Ellis Parker Butler of The VigiIantes.
Of old the good ships Numbered
Upon the mighty main;
Brave ships! they fought and blundered,
And sank, or fought again!
OF old the gallant searnen
They fought both hard and fair,
For men then fought like freemen
And death went share and share.
OF old the sea was gloried
BY heroes OF the wave,
BY captains sung and stored,
By valiant men and brave.
Now is that glory tainted,
That honor all undone;
Assassins, bloody-painted,
Sneak snake like with the Hun.
Now murderers, deep hidden,
XIII women in the night,
And pirates, Kaiser hidden,
Stay where they dare not fight
o Sea! so great in storyi
Destroy the brood obscene!
Bring back your ancient glory
And make your bosom clean!
o SeGmen! would you punish?
This verdict then be thine:
No pirate keel or Hunnish
Shall henceforth touch the brine!
o Allies! ere you sever
In this just oath agree!
No German ship shall ever
Again pollute the sea.

Other Mems Views
An Editorial That May or May Not Square
With The Views OF The Forum
The Kansas City Star:

The Kansas City Star:
If the German government did spend mil
lion dollars to get control Of The New York
Mail, it must long ago have learned that it
wasted its money. It might have learned in
advance that ifs money would be wasted If 1t
had made inquiry about the fate Of newspapers
that had been bought to become organs Of some
interest.
The trouble is that as soon as the public
learns what Is up-and 1t soon does-the kept
newspaper loses whatever influence 1t might
once have had.
Public service corporations seeking unfair
franchises have wasted an enormous amount Of
money in buying an interest In newspapers. For
all the good It did them they might as we'll have
thrown the money in the river. People wise
to the game, and they pay no attention to the
inspired utterances Of the interests.
In the long run people aren't fooled. Those
who think they can be are the real fools.

Your Neighbours Loss
May Be Your Own

You may take every precaution In
preventing fire in your own home
but what about your neighbor? His
carelessness may be your loss.
Use every means to prevent a fire
that is a wise and patriotic thing
to do, but back up that care with
adequate insurance. 80
-E.....
Adequate insurance means enough
to cover your loss at present building
prices. Had you thought Of that?
Better have us look your policies
over and see that you are fully pro-
tected.

The trend Of the times is toward concentra-
ton. Styles have been cut down; little luxuries
here and there have been eliminated products
that have called for prodigal expenditure of
materials more necessary in other vital fields
have been curtailed. The government is seek
ing to strike out those things deemed less essen
tial to successful waging Of the war against
the enemy.
This opens a new field Of thought In the
course Of a day, or week, a month, do a
lot Of experimenting. We buy this, that the
other thing-possbly because some merchant
suggests it to It is unknown quantity
with US. It may be good it may be bad
Only time will tell the story-freQuently we toss
1t away and confess a bad bargain.
When millions Of people do the same thing
the money thus tossed away runs into millions
Of dollars. And those very millions might be
helping our government and our boys on the
western front.
Why not concentrate on the known quantities
the products we in our own mind know to be
goodE IN every field there recog-
nized standards, products and articles Of proven
quantity. They are no higher in price than
those unknown-generally less in price-and de-
pendable The resources Of the producers are
such as to guarantee not only certainty of
service but constantly improving product and
at lessening cost to the purchaser. BY obtain
ing this certainty of service are assured a
money saving and satisfaction
Let us be patriotic and concentrate on known
quantities.

The Chicago Tribune:


A report. said to be authoritative, via The
Hague, describes German popular opinion as
still completely misled to American partici-
patton in the war Official propaganda through
the press Systematically has deceived the mass
Of Germans into believing that Wilson is an
autocrat who has thrust the American people
into war against their will and that serious
military aid never will be given the allies.
We can credit this to some extent. The Ger
man press seems pretty well dominated in
peace times by government purposes in the field
Of international relations, and it is now useful
from the kaiser's viewpoint, If not imperative,
that the morale Of the Of the Germans
shall be maintained. The upper and middle
classes may be relied upon to a great extent to
endure for patriotic reasons, but the peasants
and industrial classes are not so likely to- be
patient But with press controlled 1t is pos
sible to keep the worst from the people and it
will be some time before the army finds out
and longer before the people know, the extent Of
the American forces in France in spite Of the
submarine.
When we grow impatient over the faults Of
our press It might be we'll for us to think of
what the controlled press Of Germany is doing
to the German people Meanwhile we read Of
ally pamphlets being discharged or dropped in
the German lines We are inclined to think
this waste of paper Better results are to be
hoped for from the penetration Of news from
Switzerland But the only thing that can con-
vince the German people is some great blow
which even the controlled press cannot con-
ceal; this and the steady pressure Of privation
and loss Of life.
