The Farm IS Safe.
(TO1cdO Bladel


 The world is in delirium. The world
 war fever makes ii SO. Business is ab-
 normal and sub normal Some indus
 try is at high speed and other at low
 tide. PriVe levels have mounted high.
 Wages have climbed to dizzy heights
 in shop, factory and furnace. The
 city has lUrod the human moth into
 its belly. The reaction Is as sure as
 natures law that day follows night After thc war, what" Will the fcv- CT leave the patient cmcciated and
 lean? Will city industry be hit and
 hurt? To large cxtcnt--yes. The one industry that is always safe to follow is the huSbandry Of the farm When war has had it's way and waste, nations will tu n irstinCtivcly to the soil as the source of natural wealth and prosperity. The fires of many furnaces will die out. Countless Chim- neys will cease to vOmit smoke. The makers of machinery and munitions of war will languiSh and cease to fat ten. The farm and farmer will be the ] cd a new nation with new ideals of 1 living. The meal ticket grower will i have a front seat and be in the lime 1 light as ne"er before. Own the land. 1 Wed the soil. Tie to the farm. The 1 tide will reverse and flow from city to i rural regions. Think it over. Get a vision of the future.

War and Birth Rate.
(From the Brooklyn Eagle

| | That since 1913 the number of 1 births in England and W ales has
 fallen twenty-four per cent. and that 1 this portion Of the United Kingdom
 would have been richer by 65O,OOO l persons if the 1918 standard had been ] maintained are proven by figures 1 given out We say "richcr by 650,- 1 900" because most students agree ] with the idea formulated by Henry 1 George in Progress and Poverty" 1 that every unit in population barring g, l of course, congenitAl dependents, is an asset to a nation and that over population is a peril only because Of defective governmental and economic meth ods.
 Comparisons between the English and Welsh showing and that of France, of Germany, of Russia, of Italy, cannot be made scientific on any data ohtafnabIe. English statisticians think every other great Warring coun- try has lost moro than their own in "potential lives. They figure tho total loss at about 12,500,ooO for all Christend om, through empty cradles.
 When deaths in camp, in field and in battle are totaed up they may equal the birth loss. Population everywhere has suffered tremendously.
 Herbert SpcnccrS formula that the ability to maintain individual life and the ability to multiply vary inverScly" that the Strain upon the nervous system involved in the struG- gJo for life under the conditions of modern civilization" lowers the birth rate has been secuted by some reas- IT. tO nave e bearing on war conditions
 A few years ago Hungary had the largest birth rate in Europe. forty four per 900, and France the lowest. twenty-fonr. Before the war the
 French rate had fallen below twenty. That of Germany was still about
 thirty eight. and the United Sta tcs stood at close to the same figure The Franco PrusSian war, which was very short did not< materially affect the birth rate either in France or in Ger many.
 Until the war ends, and long after that. conditions it has brought about will affect the number of births in European countries, and to a lesser dccrec in the United States. The gOn- eral employm ent of women in indus try is at least not conducive to q higher birth rate 1t Is undoubtedly calculated 10 lessen in considerable measures tho sex dependence which leads to a fair proportion of the mar. riages. The world does not know and can only guess, and guess more or less al random. on the effect of this long struggle on the next generation man power of Occidental civilization.

 Carclullest Man In the World. Kings arc kind 0 'carclcss-lize with

 carcfuller O their own When | read about tho German dead

 along meath evcrlastin' loads, An some with crippled intellects still
 hear the roarin' guns, Yet there's a King in Germany with

 never seen before; It stands the while like a lonesome

 all the other Huns Is not for hin-you bet your life-or

 Kaiser an his sons. They're like the bold jackrabblt an
