corn crop for 1918, made October /,
1918, 2,7l8,0O0,000 bushels, short
age of practically half a billion
bushels. Price of No. mixed corn
Chicago, October |, 1918, $l.35.
The price, therefore, of corn at
Chicago, under the embargo, on Oc-
tober /, 1918, was Gle lower than on
the same date in 1917, when no en-
barge was in existence, and this also
in the face of the fact that the pro-
duction of corn for the year 1918
was one-half billion mushels below
the corn production of 1917; and
also in the face of the fact that the
food and feed value of the corn Of
1917 was from 20 to rs per cent be-
low, the food and fed value OF the
corn crop of 1918.
Speculation Plays Part.
After discussing this condition,
and declaring that speculation had
a large part in lowering prices
Professor Pugsley said:
Every farmer is vitality inter-
ested in the price of his production
and every farmer knows that the
present low price of corn is alto
gether out of line with the high
price of cotton, iron, steel, labor
and the high price of everything
which the farmer must buy. The
one item of cost per bushel for har-
vesting corn prior to the war was
about 5 cents per bushel. In many
localities of Nebraska the present
price per bushel is II and IS cents. "
He closed by urging that steps
be taken to urge the government to
fix minimum price on corn for the
crop Of 1918.

SALVATION ARMY TO
WORK FOR MORALE OF men
Is Raising Fund TO Continue Work
Among Soldiers And Sailors And
Help Maintain High Morale Among
American Men.

From the headquarters in Phila-
delphia of the Salvation Army for
the Atlantic Coast States, comes this
red-hot definition Of what the word
morale" the most potent and yet
mystifying utteTance yet coined out
of the war, really means, the defini-
ton being contained in a statement
issued to regular corps leaders in
eighty cities and towns in the six
States.
when the American Red Cross,
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, the Knights of Columbus, the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton, the Young Mems Hebrew Asso-
citation, and whatever other worthy
organizations may yet materialize,
have damned and crowded their
huts and hospitals and places of ref
uge and mercy, to the absolute limit,
packing in the men like sardines,
there will still remain tens of thou
sands of men who cannot be han
died by any of them.
What are we going to Do about
it?
Shall we sit back as though
there was such thing as a compe-
tition in rescue work-rivalry, if
you please, in the universal task Of
Christian undertaking. and say, Let
one organization do it ALP The per-
son who thinks such a thing, much
less says it, has absolutely no con-
ception of the war as it is, its hor-
rors, its dangers to the future of
the world, it's insidious influences
upon surviving fighters, and its ter
ror for those who lack morale.
Napoleon once said that armies
win on their stomachs. He meant
they had to be we'll fed or they could
not fight. He was right. But after
he had passed through some bitter
wars, ne aampdIiif1eeda that that TO read, An
| army wins on its morale, which is as
three to one, when you stop to con-
slider the army without morale
And what is morale? 1t is a
mental proposition. Forty million
well-armed fighters in the front
trenches, lacking morale. can win
| nothing. If they are without stout
hearts, clean bodies and clean minds,
| a high courage born of right-think-
ing, and confidence in God and His
teachings, they cannot fight, much
less win. They are then food-con-
sumers and liability, instead of an
asset to the nation sending them to
the front. THAT is WHAT MORALE
MEANS.
And as for the thoughtless per-
son who assumes that too many or
CARNATIONS are engaged in the work
of maintaining morale among the
men who are fighting their battles
for them at the front, let them shar-
pen their lead pencils and reckon in
totals the aggregate armies of the
Allies now in the field, at home and
abroad, the sailors and marines and
the prisoners of war, and divide that
by ALL the organizations they ever
heard of or can conjure up! What
have they for an answer? Try to
figure it!
Your inability to figure it is the

In the Hills Of Alabama

In the hills of Alabama
You will find a tented town,
Where the Soldier boys are training
To knock the Kaiser down.
We do not like the climate,
It's the worst we ever felt
And if Uncle Sam still keeps us here
Well either freeze or melt.
It's the same thing every morning
When the camp is very still.
We detest the Sergeant's whistle
That calls US out for drill
We don't like the details
That are picked from day to day,
And We don't like canned Willies.
Nor the way we get our pay.
We dislike those night manouvres,
AS across the hill we trend
And we think of home and loved ones
And our good old feather beds.
And we do not like the newcomes,
For when We try to shirk,
They say, you are in the army, boys,
And you came in here to work"
And when we get a call down,
AS we do from time to time,
w tudt tudI
Were in hotter cline.
We do not like the doctors,
Who prescribe for all of our ills
For broken bones or headaches
It's the same old kind of pills.
But when the toll of day is over,
And our thoughts are cool and
calm.
We are glad we joined the army,
Because we love our Uncle Sam.
We know the time is coming
When men must show their worth,
And will do our tbit" for Maryland,
The State that gave us birth.
So we do not like the hardships,
Nor regret that we took a chance
In the Hills of Alabama"
For the battlefields of France
We volunteered for service,
No matter where or when,
And you will find us ever ready,
AS you found "Old Pershing's

IRELAND UNDER YOKE.

Some of the older Irish, particular
ly in County Wexford, have been
speaking out strongly against the
Sim Feiners. Very Rev. Canon Walsh,
presiding at meeting of the Crossa-
beg and Ballymurn branch of the Uni
ted Irish League, said the prospect be-
fore ireland was a gloomy one, as the
criminal lunacy of Sim Fem was
turning all Ireland's friends against
her BY insulting and trampling upon
the American flag and cheering for
Emperor William, he said the "unru-
ly Sim Fein faction" was turning the
French Republic, the American nation
and the English democracy into bitter
enemies of Ireland.
Rather than gain independence for
Ireland they were more likely to gain
twenty years of coercion and martial

them Justice, but they would never
consent to the sheer lunacy OF total

Ireland would labor under the yoke OF
oppression. &.

The Dispatch wishes to commend
the faithful efforts of those in the
Georgia Legislature who have done so
much towards securing the passage
of law which will make it possible
to have more money for the common
schools of Georgia out of the local
school communities. Georgia gave a
record amount of money last year
through the public treasury to her
schools but this can not work half the
good that will come of local taxation
which will make the home patrons
pay the price for good schools. 1t is
local home interest which counts
most, not rich public treasury with
a lavish expenditure of funds from a
distance.
