THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
By Herbert Quick

The farmer everywhere loves
peace. The American farmer espe
clally loves peace. Since the dawn Of
history, the farmer has been the man
VINO suffered most from war. All that
he possesses lies out of doors in plain
sight and is spoil of war-his house
his grain, his livestock. The flames
that light the skies in the rear OF
every invading army are consuming
the things that yesterday represented
his life work, and the life labors OF
past generations of farmers.
Everywhere the farmer is a warrior
when war is the only thing which will
make and keep him free. He cannot
rally to the colors as quickly as can
the dWellers in the cities, because it
takes longer 20 send to the farms the
call to arms. 1t takes longer to call
the farmers from the fields than the
city dwellers from the shops. Many
do not hear the first blast of the
trumpet. Others DO not at first under.
stand its meaning because they have
over with their acquaintances. Instead
of reading half a dozen extras a dav.
the farmer may read weekly papers
only. He must have more time in a
sudden emergency to make up his
mind.
1t is impossible to set the farmers
of the United States on fire by means
OF any sudden spark of rumor. But
"hen they do ignite, they burn with
slow, hot fire which nothing can nut
out. They are sometimes the last TO
heat up; but they stay hot In a long
night they are always found sturdily
carrying the battle across No-Man's
Land in the last grim struggle The
American farmer will give all that he
mas and all that he is to win this
great war against war.
This war was at first hard to under.
stand. No armed foe had invaded the
united States. The night skies were
not reddened by burning ricks and
farm houses. No raiding PARTIES

seemed to many of us that we were
not at war-the thing was so far Off
We did not realize what a giant war
had become-a monster with a thou

seas and take from us three-fourths of
everything we grew. But finally we

lowing from the Berliner Tage-

THE terms of the ultimatum
to Russia will please even the

ed Wilson'S second principle that

some REASONS WHY
AND why NOT

One Of the unpleasant things
about running newspaper in these
days is the outrageous cost Of it.
OF course this is an unpleasant fea-
ture Of other businesses, too; but
of late itseems to have grown more
so in journalism.
When costs go upA receipts must
also go up or someone must go.
busted" A rise in the price of
home newspapers has for long
time been as inevitable as the sea-
sons. Tt is just as impossible to
keep down the cost of making a
newspaper nowadays as it is for a
farmer to keep down the wages of
his hired men to where they were
twenty-five years ago. Such things
appear to be beyond human control.
This is why the Journal will go
on a $1.50 basis on the coming In
dependence day. It, too, wants to
be independent, as does everyone
else in this world. To be fair to it's
friends, however, whose good will it
appreciates above all earthly things,
| it will until that time accept sub
|scriptions at the old rate to July
a, 1919.
