There is a patriotic ring about the
platform adopted by the Illinois far
mers, as to their attitude in the matter
of crop raising during the coming year.
One of the paragraphs contains a
thought that is good for every one, be
he farmer or engaged in other pur-
thing on your farm that will enable
you TO render the greatest service to
your country. remembering that you
can make no sacrifice equal TO that
of the boys who have gone to the front
TO fight" There Is a constructive
meaning behind these words that
brings home to every person the cru
cfal point around which all of our ma
tional life must ~reyolve. 1t means to
grow the things that thrive best on
your land, to raise the stock with
which you have the best success. II
means also to double your success by
increasing the crops or animals that
do the best under your hand. 1t means
that sheep. which have a double value
as food and clothing, are to appeal to
you. Following these suggestions is
only the following Of common sense,
the putting into practice the things
which you know are really right and
best.
Carrying this out to a logical end.
1t means that you should repair. when
1t can be done. to ave the material
that would be put into new machinery.
1t also means that the silo is to be en-
c%ouraged and the dairy interests of
this big prairie country given a chance
to come into their own. 1t means the
~forsaking Of old ideas that have not
been proven true and the following of
the advice that comes from those who
have studied and learned what is best
for the land for the farmer. It means
giving your best attention to the work
of the farm, 80 that time will prove
that he who works with nature and
learns, can help nature bring forth the
full richness of her handiwork.

OUR SECTOR

our boys have been given a sector
on the French front. It is big enough
to fill us with pride and important
enough to make Us feel confident. Then
comes the news that the enemy is
slamming it hard with shell, and We
are not afraid OF the outcome, our
boys did not go to France to be on
dl less parade, they went to fight for
liberty and the rights Of all men. The
Germans claim to hold US in scorn, 10
believe that we can be scared, intimi
dated, bluffed. These gentlemen Of the
"ueber allies" have sat in a polk
er game, bought a second hand auto
or made a horse trade with the Yankee
boys or they would have a different
opinion. We are not Dragging of what
we will do, We are simply resting in
calm assurance hat the boys who are
In that trench will give a noble and
sufficient account of themselves. They
are there, Mr.. German, go and get your
answer to the question of what the
morale and fighting efficiency of the
American soldier can do. And as you
find that answer in the reply of the
few there now, you can expect the
continued answer to be as long as we
have men to send over and battle for
the right against might.

PUBLIC OPINION LIVES

Sioux City Journal: The only ques-
ton for us is whether to 90 ahead and
win with the leaders we have or fall
into domestic dispute and lose the
war" says an Iowa newspaper.
That statement may mean either of
two things. 1t may mean that the peo-
pie ought to support the president as
their war leader intelligently. criti-
cally and vigorously, with eyes and
hearts only for one thing, and that for
the winning of the war. Or it may
mean that the people would as we'll
accept now as later a situation ir
which they are no to reason why"
but merely ito do and die"-a sltua-
ton that involves the retention of ev-
cry subchief, no matter how incompe-
tent, and that is based on the notion
that the war is something conducted
exclusively by the government at
Washington and that it is none Of the
peoples business.
If the statement quoted means the
first of the two things no one can
cavil at it, If it lea the second, il
is plain lunacy. While for the present
and alarm in the country seems to
have reached its maximum and to be
receding, it is just as well to clinch
the thing permanently. 1t ought to
be understood now and for all time
that the American people do have an
interest in this war. that it is their
war, and that their temporary repre-
sentatives at Washington are given
such leadership as it invested in them
only as a trust. The man appointed
by the president to act his subordi-
nate is a "a appointed by the presi-
dent acting as a representative of the
people. That appointee himself is not
a servant of the president but a SER
want of the people that the president
represents. And the people have a
right to insist on service from him.
And the people are not meddling in
the affairs of somebody else when they
conclude to take the Washington lid
off now and then and look at the brew.
And the people are thoroughly and
~eternally justified in their demand to
exercise at will the right OF honest
criticism. This war has not been
turned yer to anybody to win or lose
for us. 1t has simply got to be won,
and humans-plain. fallable humans.
subject to error and entitled to correct
tion-have got to carry the leader
ship in winning it. The only divine
right there is about 1t is the divine
right of every human to think.
To say this is not in any sense to
attack the administration. The Jour-
nal, though it wishes he had a strong
and nonpartisan war cabinet, does not
know of any individual it would rather
have president than Woodrow Wilson
today. 1t is very content to win the
war with Wilson. But it doesn't want
to lose the war to anybody. And The
Journal is very insistent that 1t Is not
only a right but a duty of every loyal
American to speak up when things are

filters ARE HANDICAPPED
BY Frank A. VanderliD
James Cofey. Collector.

Hardly a day passes but there is
some fresh illustration of the inability
on the part of governments to buy
with money something essential for
wal preparation. We are now dis
covering hat there is not linen enough
in the world to owe the areo-
planes that the allies are producing.
The English government has just de-
cided that at least 10000 acres of En-
glish soil must be devoted to the pro
duction of flax, instead of food. That
government is making terms with the
farmers, which will lead to the plant
ing of hat crop.
The illustrations are endless of the
fact that there are not labor and ma
terials enough to produce the things
that the people want and the things
that the government wants. There are
two ways of helping solve the problem.
One is to speed up production and
industry. The other is to cut down UNI
necessary consumption. BY the latter
method every one can put himself in
an effective way in a front trench. Ely
cry one can make sacrifices that will
be reflected in a quicker and better
equipment of armies. The progress
duction can be exceeded many fold by
the effect which can be produced by a
whole nation making up its mind real
ly to help win the war. The difficulties
of equipping the army would be easily
cut in half if every individual in this
country would recognize his responsi-
bility in helping to equip the army, his
responsibility to get on without de-
handing new things he can get on
without, and by so doing leave a great
er amount of labor and material to
produce the things the government
must have.
Every yard of linen that is bought
from today on puts the buyer in di-
rect competition with the Areor, lane
Board in equipping the fleet OF areo-
planes which we hope to put over the
German lines. That should be very
plain to every one when it is known
that the need of linen for areoplane
production exceeds the total stool.
there is in the world. But the same
rule applies in almost every direction
that We turn.
There can be only two reasons why
men should not see in their personal
expenditure their individual RESPONSE
bility for equipping the army. One is a
belief that a fully equipped American
army is not going to be necessary;
that the war either will be won by
our allies, or it has already been won
by the exhaustion Of Jul enemies.
There is little in the situation upon
which to base such a belief. The other
reason must be that people believe
that there are labor and materials
enough to produce everything that
they want for their individual uses
and everything that the government
must have. Absolute blindness to what
the total is when you add two and two
