There is a ~slumberous sound In the
old proverb that necessity is the moth
er of invention, but there never was an
hour when its truth was better ex-
empliied than now. Passing all con-
troversial subjects, what but the neces-
sity born of short crops and great
needs would have led French scientists
to experiment with seaweed as a food
for horses? The amazing thing about
it is that the experiment succeeded.
Two groups of horses were fed on the
usual diet of hay, straw and oats, and
two other groups on hay, straw and
seaweed- In both cases, the horses
getting seaweed gained flesh faster
than did those fed on oats. In one ex-
pertinent made with sick horses, the
seaweed seemed to effect a cure
doubtless because Of the iodine in the
new fodder.

WHEAT FOR OUR ALLIES.

The period of suspense through
which the civilized world Is passing
ms it waits breathlessly for the bull
letins of the fighting in Picardy gives
a new meaning to the appeals of the
federal food administration for still
more strict economy in the consump-
ton of wheat, says Philadelphia Led
GER For many to a V wheat that the
people OF France and England may
live is all or nearly all that they can
do to help in the great struggle, and
that help is mighty small In compare
son with the need and travail in the
light of our abundance and of our own
tie personal self-denial, "a little willing
ness TO adapt ourselves to an accus-
toned routine Is all that is asked in
this respect. 1t is far better that this
should be done voluntarily and as a
free contribution of patriotic zeal than
that conservation should be made COM
pulsory by means of bread cards. The
regulations that have been imposed
upon the bakers and upon the dealers
in food materials are about as far as
compulsion ought to be necessary If
America is to prove to the world It's
real devotion to the cause of liberty
and justice.

There is a happy medium between
no work at all for m on the farm
and the heavy, exhausting labor for
which many American women are not
fit. We have not developed here the
stolidity and solidity of physique that
are often found among the peasant
womanhood of Europe. At this time
American women long to be patrioti-
cally useful instead of socially futile.
Therefore the question of employment
on the farms in the ordinary work of
men is one that increasingly concerns
them. Most of them would willingly
go further, and undertake even such
arduous labor as that OF following the
pillow; but certainly it would not be
good for them. There are public fnsti-
tutions in this state where the outdoor
work is done By the women, except the
blowing. More of them will come to-
such labor as time passes and the war
more generally engages the male farm
hands.

1T A BE DONE.

Somebody said that it couldn't be done
>But he with a chuckle replied,
That maybe it couldn't, but he would
be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace
of a grin
On his face. If he worried, he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: oh, you'l never do
that,
At least no one ever has done it.
But he took off his Goa and took off
his hat,
And the first thing he knew he'd be-
gun it.
With the lift of his chin and a bit OF
a grin.
If any doubt rose he forbid it;
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it
There are thousands to tell you it car
not be done,
There are thousands to prophesy
failure;
There are thousands to point out tc
you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you
But Just buckle right in with a bit o.
a grin,
Then take off your coat and go to it
Just start in to sing as you tackle the
thing
That cannot be done, and you'll do it

S WATER POWER.

If half the energy that has been put
into fighting over the terms on which
the water powers in the public domain
of this country should be developed
had been devoted to developing these
water powers, the country would now
be getting great benefit from them.
While the quarrel about how these wa
ter powers are to be utilized has been
going on vigorously and often venom
ously, the water powers have been go
ing to waste and the country's need of
them has been increasing every day,
says Duluth Herald. They are going
to waste today, and yet the nations
war work could be enormously expe-
dited if it had the advantage of this
cheap power now running ~uselessly
away. These water powers should be
developed as speedily as possible. That
does not mean that they should be
thrown wide open to profiteers, as we
did with the coal and oil and mineral
and timber wealth of the country, to
our bitter cost. That should V
happen again. These water powers
should never be altered from public
possession and public control. They
should be leased on terms that will
offer capital the incentive needed to
arouse it's interest, but that will leave
rates, service and profits under govern
ment control in the public interest.
Congress ought, early in this session,
to enact a water power development
law that will, while fully preserving
the public interest, offer ample returns
private capital that is willing to en-
list in the public service at fair pay.
