city. Possibly high prices Tor food
may cause a reversal of the tide
of movement and city people will
seek the country for it's profits as
heretofore country people have
sought the city for the exceptional
and spectacular profits and the
,luXuriohs life that the cities offer.
No Food Without Effort
This is a world of struggle; we
need not expect to have things
without effort, as we wish them to
be, but we must accept things as
they are. If more people go to the
cities than are needed in the cities,
then the surplus must find employ
ment elsewhere or must be content
to suffer privation. If the country
has fewer workers than it needs,
then those dwelling in the cities
must pay the higher prices which
are due to a greater demand than
the supply of food. Law can do
many things to correct evil con-
ditions in cities. Most of all, the
law should restrain the strong
from expressing the weak and
should restrain one class from ex-
plotting another class, but no syS-
TEN of law, no device of society,
can provide abundance from scar
city, and no system of law and no
device of society should undertake
to compel one set of people to do
more than a fair share or require
them to scrifice the articles or the
commodities which are enhanced
in value by scarcity due to the un-
willingness of large class of peo-
pie to endure the hardships of pro-
duction. The earth IS broad; there
are millions of untitled acres, and
there is no patent right upon the
processes of farming.
That is all by way of looking
a little into the future. The point
of present comment is that the
farmers of the United States, The
best farmers in the world, have mo-
spared themselves or their families
in these trying times of war. They
have followed the GovernmentE
program with less complaint, l be
lieve. than | have heard from any
! other class. On the whole they
have not proSpered as much as tht
average war industry; some O
them, indeed, have produced witt
scant profit and a few at a loss
They have been moved in the high
est degree by tn spirit of patrio
tiSm and sacrifice that has govern
ed the great mass Of our people il
diScharging the burdensome task;
of war. The farmer does not fal
under the eye of ordinary obServa
tion; his work is not spectacular
but his performance is none th'
less heroic" ="

land holding successful it seems
advisable that the farmers operate
as community unit in the produc-
tion and the marketing of crops
and livestock. The returning SOL
diers seem we'll fitted for a CO.
operative enterprise of this kind.
Their life in the army and the dis
cipline incident thereto has given
them training for teamwork and
in pulling together for a common
cause. The ex-soldiers are young
with more or less of common
viewpoint which would favor the
forming of community project.
The question is, will this plan
work? In Australia the govern
ment has coperated with the farm
er for several years in developing
new land. During the past year
the State of California has under
taken the establishment of such
an enterprise. The state bought
the land, leveled the soil, dug the
irrigation bitches, will build the
house and farm buildings upon re-
quest. The state can do the work
much cheaper than the individual.
In Australia it was found that a
saving of so per cent was made in
consutcrtintfi ;. fiji ;. fiji ;, tfl =
constructing the farm building
over the individual undertaking.
The settler is required to pay
down per cent of the cost of the
land and 40 per cent of the cost
of the buildings. The remaining
payments may be made over a
period of 20 years or more with
interest at per cent. Each farm
err is asked to keep a definite breed
of stock, cooperate with his neigh
bors in buying and selling, and in
the ownership of expensive equip
ment. This plan might well be
adopted for returning the ex-
soldier to the land. 1t is clear that
we cannot dump him down on the
public domain without capital OF
credit. Each individual state might
properly undertake a small project
along this line. Delaware for eX.
ample has thousands of acres OF
swamp and brush land now unpro,
ductive that might be redeemed
The state in cooperation with the
Federal Government could buy
these lands, clear them and cut tht
: necessary drainage canals anC
sell the allotments to the soldiers
on easy terms. A project of this
kind would prove valuable socia
and economic experiment as ap
piled to agriculture and would un
doubtedly solve some of the man!
problems of marketing which il
now one of the weak points il
business of farming.
1t Is clear to every student O.
. agriculture that existing condi
tions on the farm prevent the de
velopment of a healthy, norma
community life. In placing the re
turned soldier on the land unde
some such sustem as described
above might prove to be the begin
ming of a marked advance in agri
cultural development of the coun
try in every phase Of its existence

Enlisted Men

The law as applied to enlisted
men of any branch of the service
is not so considerate. 1t permits
enlisted men to wear the uniform
for three months after the date OF
discharge; after that they cannot
wear it without risk Of arrest and
Imprisonment.
The law specifies that the enlist
ed man may wear his uniform
from the place of his discharge to
his home, within three months
after the date of his discharge"
This would indicate that if the
soldier stays in the town of his
discharge for three months, he
may wear the uniform all that
time, but that whenever he goes
home he must adopt civilian garb.
The purpose was to give him time
to- obtain an outfit of civilian cloth
ing.
But the War Department, it is
believed, will be inclined to wink
the eye at literal violations of the
rule so long as the soldier is not
caught wearing the uniform after
his three months expire.
So that when your boy comes
home he may feel perfectly safe in
Newark post., 1918-11-27

any officer above the grade OF en-
sign or second lieutenant may
wear the uniform of his rank.
There is no time limit in the
law. so that if he likes he may
wear the uniform to a meeting OF
world war veterans SO years from
now. He cannot, however, wear his
uniform to business or for pleas
ure.

When Returned Soldiers
May Wear Uniforms

Under Section 125 of an act of
Congress approved June 8, 1916, it
is unlawful for any person not an
officer or enlisted man of the Un-
tied States army, navy or marine
corps to wear the duly prescribed
uniform, provided, that the fore
going shall not be constructed to
prevent persons who in time of
war have served honorably as Of
ficers of the United States army,
navy or marine corps and have
been honorably discharged, from
wearing the uniform on occasions
of ceremony, nor to prevent an en-
listed man who has been honor
ably discharged from wearing his
uniform from the place of dis
charge to his home, within three
months afttr the date of discharge.
Of course, the law prescribeS
the wearing of army or navy uni
forms by civilians and attaches a
$500 fine and six months i'm
prisonment to the offense. But
here is good news for the officers
and enlisted men:

Officers

After his honorable discharge
from the army, navy or marine
corps, a commissioned officer may
wear the uniform of the highest
grade he has held on occasions of
ceremony.
This means that at public recep-
tionS, dinners, balls, mass meet
ingS and other similar functions.

The average carload has been in
creased from 1852 to 28.5 tons, or 8.S
per cent. If this ratio is maintained,
it will be the equivalent of an addi-
ion of 8.8 per cent, or 211 200 freight
cars to the present equipment of
about 2,4O0,OOO cars, and if the ratio
of increase in the train load, equal to
2.7 per cent, is maintained, it will be
the equivalent Of adding about 1,750
to the present equipment of some
IS 900 locomotives of all sorts.
Surely this is better than buying
new cars and locomotives at a time
when they can only be had at extra
VACANT prices and the manufacturing
energies of the country are overtaxed
to provide the things required for the
winning of the war.
Instead of proving the ineficiency
of Government management, these
figures furnish the strongest possible
proof of its efficiency and wisdom In
demonstrating that the old cars and
engines are being made to do more
work than they performed under pri-
vate management. The same pro-
gress toward the intensive use of the
present equipment is to be found in
the report of loaded cars arriving az
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh during
the first four weeks of July. This re-
port is as follows:

with five districts unreported.
The control Of the Senate is still in dis
pute. with both parties claiming it. The
Republicans have made an unquestioned
net gain Of five votes. That body today
stands So Democrats and a. Republicans.
This would give the Republicans 40 votes
provided they meet with no further losses
in the belated returns, and that vote would
be one more than majority.
The Democrats lose a member Of Con-
