The Somerset Semi-Weekly News,
of which Father Bill" Schooler Is
the editor, makes the following COM
ment on the recent basketball game
played here between the Paris and
Somerset High School teams: "The
basket ball team struck a snag in its
effort to finish the season without a
defeat. At Paris on last Friday
night they came out the short end OF
g. 81 to 80 score. Perhaps you can
figure out the reason from the score
"A hard trip, small floor, poor
lights are some of the alibis, but i
appears Paris has good team. Ii
they will come down here and bea
us on our floor we will hand then
the palm. Until then, suspend judg
ment."

Dean Numford In Washington,

F. B. Mumford, food administrator
for Missouri. has arrived in Washing
ton where he will attend a confer

The conference was called by Herbert
Hoover, L. S. Fdod Administrator,
upon his return from Europe where
he has been comforting with the food
administrators of the Allied nations.
A program for the conserving of food
for the coming year will be discussed.
The beef and sugar question will al

BACKACHES FORGOTTEN NOW

These are the days when the maj
who planted a war garden last spring
and tended it faithfully all summer
realizes his importance as a desirable
citizen.
There is something about picking
tomatoes off ones own tomato vines
that make you sort of look down on
the man next door, who invented all
sorts of excuses to cover the fact that
he didn't like to dig.
There is something about the pos
session of neat rows Of canned fruits
and vegetables down cellar that makes
your wife tell her visitors, Yes, We
raised them all ourselves"
In the spring gardening means hard
work. Later on it means worries
about the rain, for instance, and the
COWS that try to picnic in your back
yard. But in the harvest time-that's
when rewards are paid.
Really, it does a man about as
much good to get close to the soil
as it does his tomato vines.

THE GOSPEL OF REACTION

From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Declaring in effect that there is nc
way in which war can be prevented
Mr.. Roosevelt said in the course OF
his speech at Springfield:
When peace comes, let us accept
any reasonable proposal, whether
calling for league Of nations or any
other machinery which really offers
some chance of lessening the number
of future wars. But let US remember
that any promise that such a league
or other machinery will definitely do
away with war is nonsense or sheer
hypocrisy"
This is the familiar Tory-Junker
argument in favor OF returning to the
military status quo ante, but does it
represent anything more substantial
than TOry-Junker opinion? Is man.
kind so preyerse, is statesmanship so
bankrupt, that no means can be pro-
vided for safeguarding the world
against repetition of the horrors in
which it has been submerged for
more than four years? When this
present conflict is ended, must the
human race remain shackled to the
military machine while il works out
in semi-industrial slavery the stupen-
dous debt that has been incurred in
crushing German autocracy and like
wise works out the equally stupendous

FIGHT HOPPERS NOW, HE URGES
c. c. Hamilton Says Farmers Should
Protect Spring Wheat.

Farmers bothered with grasshop-
pers should continue to fight them by
using the poison bran mash just as
il the dry weather had not been brok-
en-. The damage done is not so ap-
parent now as when there was only
a little green vegetation but they are
eating as much, il not more, than
previously.
Many farmers are intending to SOW
wheat late this fall to escape grass
hopper injury. This is not advisable,
says C. c. Hamilton of the Extension
Service of the University of Missouri
College OF Agriculture, since many OF
the grasshOppers were late in hatch
ing this year and they will be numer-
Gus enough until cold weather to do
considerable damage to the wheat.
Plan on poisoning them about the
time or just before the wheat is sown.
One or two applications of the poison
bran mash should be sufficient to re-
duce their numbers so there will be
no injury to the wheat as it is COM
ing up. On the other hand, if con?
troll measures are delayed until the
hOppers start damaging the wheat,
continued applications may be neces-
sary; and while the hOppers are be-
ing up. On the other hand, if con-
young wheat.
If the poisoning is done properly !
and over any considerable area there |
is small chance for the grasshoppers
to migrate into the protected places |
and do damage. On the University /
Farm more than 80 per cent Of the
hOppers were killed where the poison
was applied, and the difference be-
tween the protected and unprotected
fields is very striking.
The grasshoppers will begin to
lay their eggs before long and should
be poisoned before they do this II
they are not poisoned, however, the
places where the eggs are laid should
be noted and the soil disked or plow-
ed late this fall or early next spring.
the egg capsules and allow
ing the freezing and rhawing of win
-er to act upon them will go a long
way toward controlling the gTasshOp-
Ders next year, says Mr.. Hamilton.

PIPING THE PIPER

To a politician OF the sold sohoo
the easy progress of the war revenue
bill in the present Congress would
seem incomprehensible.
The idea of the American public
either ignoring or grimly approving
the passage OF a measure which will
take more money out of its pockets
than any previous tax bill had ever
attempted to do is a novel one.
few years ago there would have been
protest upon protest wired into Wash
ingtOn or voiced before Congressional
committees if it had been proposed TO
raise the Federal taxes 80 per cent.
The present bill raises them, not so,
but 100 per cent. And last years
bill itself was a record breaker, both
in the rates fixed and the total amount
raised.
The whole affair is calculated to
send cold chills up the kaiser's spine,
especially If he clings to his old no
tion that the Americans are a ma
tion of money-grubbers, who will drop
the war like a hot cake as soon as
it touches their pOcketboOk nerve.
The truth is, as friend Wilhelm may
yet get it through his head, that the
American DeODle WOuld anDarantIN
rather be taxed than not, asking only
that every cent possible shall go to
end his opportunities for world mis-
chief

cost of a new program of prepared

cost of a new program Of prepared
| ness?
1t was estimated previous to this
war that the nations of Europe alone
were spending s2,000,000,000 a year
on their military establishments, and
these expenditures found their high
est justification in the claim that pre-
paredness for war prevented war. All
the thousands of billions that were
poured out so lavishly prevented moth
ing. In the end civilization was
plunged into the bloodiest and most
disastrous war of.all human history.
II the old preparedness proved
worthless as means Of defense, what
will it be less worthless? War has
been revolutioniZci in the last four
years. Even Ger -ay, after 40 years
of methodical preparation, was not
ready for the kiLd of war that had to
be fought, and was compelled to re-
organize all of her military machin-
cry and all of her finances and in
dustries to meet the new situation. A
nation can be prepared for modern
warfare only by putting it completely
on war basis and subordinating all
of its activities to the single business
of slaughter.
Unless there is a way out of this
horrible trap in which We have all
been caught, condition of peace can
be little preferable to a condition of !
war
If Mr.. Roosevelt be right, the war is
already failure and the wisest thing
that the United States and the Allies /
can do would be to patch up a peace
with Germany at once, save all the /
lives and treasure that would be ex-
pended in obtaining a decision and
bend their energies to making ready
or the next war? Why bleed to death
1t no purpose?
Mr.. Roosevelt, of course, is wrong
wrong. II this war
means anything it means that the
Tory-Junker system is not only dead,
,ut damned. 1t can have no resurrec-
ion unless the self-governing peoples
bandOn the real cause in which they
re fighting.

Many Americans are wondering il
Hindenburg is dead or whether he is
alive to see his "impregnable" line
giving way before the onslaughts of
the Allied troops. Some are hoping
that the German leader is alive to
see his defeat, while others declare
that he is dead or his line could not
be broken through so easily. We don't
care, so long as the march toward the
east is continued.
