A WORD TO THE WISE FARMER

LtchVille Bulletin: As prices are now barley,
of course, would be more profitable crop to seed
than wheat But-snd this is big but-the
barley price is not guaranteed and it may slump
away below the dollar mark in the fall, especially
if whole lot of farmers go to work and seed an
unusual amount Of barley and glut the market.
The same would happen if the war should end
before fall, and no man can be sure of this. AS to
wheat, we know that it will bring S217 at Mime
apolis no matter what happens. 1t appears to us
that the wise farmer will stick to wheat.

This is the question asked by most
patrons OF hotel or restaurant who
are charged higher prices for smaller

sion that we make the difference.

The city is cleaner and better policed than it has

there was practically no disorder, no unusual out

political The majority of Bismarck people do not

no one who has taken the pains to enquire into

But while the Hun is in possession Of Odessa
not always remain there. The central powers may
make stab at India They may patrol the streets
Of Petrograd and enslave all Russia. Whether they
stay there or not depends upon thosc brave men

No one better than the German var lords know

That statement is almost as old as the war.
Knowing, then, that it must be decided on the
west front, let US pay less attention to German

to our determination to achieve real victory in
France. That means exerting every ounce of our

When that victory has been won on the west

Three Classics

The latest issues in Scribner'S excel
lent Modern Students Library are The
Pilgrims Progress" George Meredith's
AN Essay on Comedy and the Uses OF
the Comic Spirit" and a group of essays
by Robert Louis Stevenson. DIR. Samuel
McChord Crpthers, who is usually a de-
lightful essayist, writes a disappointing
introduction to the Bunyau book. Mere
dith's essay is edited with an introduce
ton and notes by Lane Cooper. professor
Of the English language and literature
at Cornell University. The notes cover
nearly 40 pages: about thirty pages are
devoted to a tabulated analysis in the
best style of the dry-as-dust pedant. and
the Introduction proper. devoted to an
essay on the essay, covers forty pages,
and several pages are given to variant
readings of the text. Less than eighty
pages are devoted to the essay itself
Those who are interested in Meredith
will pass by all of Professor Cooper's
laborcd and futile pages and get much
entertainment thereby. Professor Phelps
Of Yale, writes an. apnrec'ative %introdqc-
ton TO the Stevenson essays, condning
himself to about six pages, But. after
all, the reader will prize these volumes
not for the in~troductions or notes, but
for the things about which the introduce
tions have been written. They are in
handy form for reading and the price is
only seventy-five cents.

Lloyd Georges Var Speeches

Public opinion has not always been
unanimously with the British Prime
Minister IN some details of his war
policy. But the ultimate authority OF
lis utterances has never been challenged,
and his various speeches undoubtedly
constitute the most significant expression
of Great Britain's var aims and con-
duct yet made public.
The most vital portions of the Lloyd
George speeches for the last two and a
kalf years have now been rescued from
ephemeral newspaper publication. As
published in book form, they have been
carefully selected and arranged to cover
virtually all of the topics of Importance
which lave rad any bearing on Britain's
wartime policy. Military progress,
economic problems, industrial regula-
tions and social affairs are reflected un-
de- stress of wartime evolution in the
excerpts which include the dates from
December, 1915, to January, of the
present year.
