just as II no exemptions were pro-
vided. This was due to State Of
ficers, in many instances. and to q
misunderstanding as to the prin-
ciple of the selective draft. A clear
ing up of this difficulty will leave
the farmers standing behind the
, government in splendid fashion. The
farmers are not lost to the cause,
but they must be shown that officials
here in Washington have some re-
gard for the Importance OF their
occupation.
The position of the farmer in this
war is an enigma. When Mr.. Baer.
OF North Dakota, came to town he
indicated he was patriotic to the
limit-but the heads of the league
which put him in office. and many
of the men who have been identified
with him. have been caught time
and again. taking liberties with
Uncle Sans cause. Just what the
outcome will be no one can tell. But
the facts are the farmers are show
ing signs of unrest. There are three
classes of them-the patriots, the
semi-patriots and the doubtfuls. We
would not say any of them are
openly disloyal. But the semi
patriots are causing some distress
now in the West, and the doubtful
ones are doing even worse. Mes
sages to them are of avail. The
great work needed to be done is to
get in personal touch with them.
This is work for an hour brigade
Four-minute speeches will not do
with the tillers of the soil. They
need to be told several times about
many things-and then after the
speaker has finished he usually
wants to prepare for a period of
argument of like length. If some
of our patriots have time hanging
on their hands we suggest they
begin to go the rounds of agricul-
tural neighborhoods. We think their
time will be well occupied and they
viii have the opportunity of doing
a great work.
Do not let any one think the case
is hopeless. however, or that out of
this tangled situation We are to
emerge any the worse for wear. For
the truth is while we are busy with
the task of impressing Germany
with the fact that democracy is to
be left alone, we are also busy I'M
pressing ourselves with the fact that
democracy can be much broader and
much more effective than We have
ever thought it could. We are gain
ing much in our own way while we
are helping other countries to gain.
The people OF this nation are being
liberated from some bondages of
their own while they are assisting
other peoples in coming out from
under severely clouded skies. The
outlook is splendid. We can count
on winning when We undergo the
change we are undergoing at this
very time.
In other words. while we are do
ing the world a great service we are
also doing ourselves a service of no
small proportions.

New York, Feb. 15.-with the
tearing down Of the old Eastern
Hotel at South and Whitehall
streets one of the few remaining
landmarks Of old New York passes
into history. The old Astor House
and the Eastern were the only sur
vivals OF a day when Canal street
was uptown.
The site of the old Eastern will
he used for the erection OF a mod
ern ten story building and there
are many who believe that IL will
fill u demand for many travellers
who prefer the lower tip of the
city and the fresh air that sweeps
up the Battery.
The Battery district is destitute
of first class accomodations. There
are only flop houses. twenty-five
cent lodging houses and long shore
mems hotels there now.
II is a long journey from South
Ferry to the nearest hotel zone in
New York. The first hotel zone be-
gins at Thirty fourth street with
the McAlpin.
The second zone begins at Seven
ty-second street. Hotels below Thir-
ty-fourth street have lost patronage
in the last few years as the tide
of business has swept uptown.
The Battery district hotel may
prove a profitable undertaking for
there are many visitors whose
business is all down toward the
water front. particularly If they do
not care for the white lights.
There are many New Workers who
love the old bayview as their fore
fathers did and not many years ago
there was talk of a pretentiouS

Soup Eating Lost Art.

Owing to the high cost Of ingredl-

for spectacular and musical soup eat

AS THEY SHOP IN GUATEMALA
Visiting Is Principal Feature Of Buy
Ing Expeditions, Business Later
Consideration.

sour own way is always the best
way" said a philosopher who under
stood human nature, and why every
body else does not go our way Is a
cause of constant surprise. For in
stance, in shopping.
How would you like to shop in
Guatemala? They are a very polite
people, and On coming into the store,
will pass some remark about the
weather, and ask how business is. Then
comes string of questions about the
health of the proprietor and all his re-
latons and friends; and when all the
questions are asked, the proprietor
turns around and asks the same ques-
tons of you. Then the proprietor
gets down to business, and takes down
all his stock, which is all examined and
priced and then you say you will go
home and think about it.
The next day, you return with the
whole family-men, women, children
and visitors-all the salutations are re-
peated, and all the stock displayed
again. After two or three hours Of
this sort of thing, you buy perhaps u
yard of muslin, and have it charged on
30 or 60 days time. This so delights
the proprietor, that he follows you to
the door, and asks all the questions Of
your health all over again. 1t is need
less to say that Guatemalan merchants
were never known to get rich.
