coNscRprIoN IN IRELAND.

There are those in this country who have given expression to their belief that Ireland will accept the censcrip- tion which England proposes and that the Irish will join in the efforts to in- crease the armies of the allies to the point where it will be certain of driv- ing the Teutonie hordes back. They have confidence in the Irish people to the extent that they believe that they are not lacking in their appreciation of the gravity of the situation and that they realize that it is obligatory for them to do their utmost in the pres ent crisis.
 That such feeling exists to a cer- tain extent in Ireland cannot be doubt. ed for Ireland certainly has been fighting for freedom long enough te understand what 1t means and what It would mean to have the imperia German government dominate the world. The Irish may not like the English, but they jcertainly cannot like the Germans any better. The at. titude manifested here, and. which those who are displaying it feel, voices the sentiment of their people in thu Emerald Isle. doesn't give a high rat. ing to the efforts of the Sim Feiners Their acts have simply served to ob. struct rather than to help the move meut for home rule and it is onf proper that they should feel that Ire land stands a much better show O getting what 1t wants and what i deserves by joining in the fightin. of the common enemy of mankind than 1t would by trying to bandical and to throw added obstacles in thei own path. The Irish in this countr, believe in conscription and it is onl! logical that those in Ireland shout, take the same view.

THE HELL GATE CHANNEL

Under prevailing conditions it must be realized that it is no time to use money for purposes which can wait just as well as not. The need just now is to devote the nations re- sources to the winning of the war; but it cannot help being recognized that the action taken in the lower house of congress by the amending of the rivers and harbors bill so that provision is included therein for the deepening of the Hell Gate channel 50 as to secure depth of 40 feet is a wise move.
 At the present time the channel from Long Island sound to New York will accohmodate only a part of the naval vessels of this country. This means that to get to the Brooklyn navy yard the biggest ships have no alternative, whereas should the chan mel at Hell Gate be deepened to the

NOT THE CONSUMERS FAULT.

In connection with the coal situa- tion in this country and the danger of shortage during next winter, The Black Diamond, a coal journal, be- lieves that the people have reassa 20 worry and that they should continue 10 worry because the situation is se- Fious.
 Pointing out that coal Is not nov ing and that mines are idle it claims that the reasons for it are that the people do not knoW how serious the situation is, that the fuel administra- uon force is inadequate and that the coal selling force has either been de- stroyed or rendered useless. But it also claims that the biggest reason is that the people do not know, and that they are not providing for the storage of all the coal that they can.
 The reference to the storage of the coal means the getting of their bins hlled at this season of the year for the winter months which are to come The coal administration has called at- tention to this great need, and in spite of the belief expressed by this coal journal to the contrary there are req sons for feeling that it is not so much the lack of anxiety on the part of the people and their unwiilingness to get in their next winters supply as it is the confusion which exists as the re- suit of the fuel administrators ac- tivities and the inability to get coal
 It is impossible to store LID next winters supply in your cellar if ths coal cannot be obtained and if it is impossible to have orders taken for it If coal mines are idle 1t is not the fault of those who are and have beer endeavGing for weeks to fill theil bins. There surely is trouble some where but 1t certainly cannot bt fastened upon the people.

house of representatives, the national committees of both great parties have endorsed it. MT. Rradway is still op- posed. Like Kaiser Wilhelm, he seems to have an intimate knowledge Of the intentions of God. Suffragists claim no such knowledge. However, the present state of the world gives Us no particular satisfaction over the rule of man alone. And we feel sure that in the reconstruction period after this most hideous war, men will feel that the voice of woman is needed. that after her sufferings and priva- tions, her herculean labors and her sacrifices, her advice will be of value. In the meantime, we shall. like our men, fight for those things which lie nearest our hearts, for democracy, for the right of those who submit to au- thority to have a voice in their gov ernment."

CONSERVING THE INFANTS.

Just because the country is involved in war it does not mean that attep- tien can all be turned from the irn- portant work of doing everything pos- sible to decrease the large infant mortality of the country. The nation wide campaign which has been started with this end in view ought to meet with an enthusiastic response and marked success,
 When it Is realized that there are S00,000 children in the United States under the age of five who die annually it can be appreciated that there ia certainly sufficient incentive for this undertaking. It is not imagined for a minute that all of these lives could be saved. Such would be a futile belief but in the opinion of physicians and those who have become familiar with the situation 1t is estimated that the lives of a third of them can be saved if the proper educational steps are taken.
 It is well known that many babies die because the mothers do not fully
 understand about their care. They " tAOt fSa4AAe St1TAi iSSDOASA1llLy Gl they do not know how to exert it. The aim of the undertaking is to educate the mothers regarding the simpler ani
 more vital duties of caring for chil. dFen in their tenderest years and i should mest with hearty reception from those to whom the aid will b. extended.
 Life is too valuable to be throwl | away and yet that is about what i 1 amounts to in naany instances wher, the proper knowledge is not possesset by the mothers in caring for thei children or in guarding against pre- yentable diseases. If this ignoranc
 can be decreased a great and lastinl good will result.

Price Inequalities.

AaSASSS3ASA~0 ~ ~sE
There has been a downward
tendency in the market of all
the substitute commodities and
there is no doubt but what in a
very short time values will be
receded to their proper levels.
There is one phase Of the sub
ject that is hardly appreciated
by the general public. That is
the varying weight differences of
the commodities as compared
with wheat. AS you know,
wheat is sixty pounds to the
bushel. The other cereal COM
modities are as follows:
Rye-56 pounds.
Barley-48 pounds.
Shelled Corn-56 pounds.
Oats-32 pounds.
Of the latter it requires about
eleven bushels to make a barrel
of oatmeal of 100 pounds.
It milling barley it is found
that from 100 pounds of grain
60 to 81 pounds of -four is OBJ
tanned, while in milling wheat,
about "a pounds is obtained from
every 100 pounds Of grain.
Corn has also been found to
be very uncertain for grinding
purposes on account of moisture.
Many samples of corn have been
found to contain FL to "a per
cent of moisture, while the ma
tural moisture under favorable
circumstances should be II to
IA per cent.
This necessitates kiln drying
with the natural losses that go
with it. Furthermore, the feed
ing qualities of the b~i-products
are greatly reduced on account
of having been kiln dried, which
necessarily reduces the prices of
the animal feed.
All of these things must be
taken into consideration when
prices for substitutes are made.
The law enacted by Congress on
August 10th mentions only one
kind Of grain as being governed
by that act, which, as you know
is wheat. All other commodities
are left entirely to the law of
supply and demand and the pc
culiar whims Of the market.
It is the writer's opinion that
Notwithstanding the numerous
obstacles that the food admins
tration has encountered that
they have been doing a wonder
full work and that as soon as op-
portunity will permit, correction
will be made To adjust and har-
monte Irregularities wherever
they EXIST. H. Schaffer.

Of the University Of Missouri college Of
agriculture suggests cooperation as a
means Of reducing production cost for
the vacant lot gardener. The average
city gardener is not In position to pillow
and prepare a garden plot himself.
Mr.. Rosa suggests that q number Of
gardeners In q given neighborhood en-
ploy q man and team to prepare their
gardens. In this way the expense can
be divided among them and the man
and team can be kept busy throughout
the day. II the community garden
movement is extensive enough men
and teams may be hired by the day or
week, and each gardeners plot can be
fitted in turn. I'm this way the work
can be done nor cheaply than where
each gardener hires his plot prepared
BY the job. A great deal Of trouble
can also be eliminated. Other advan-
tages, such as purchasing fertilizers,
manure, seeds, plants and other gar.
den supplies can be had through CO.
operative effort.
Since the spring garden should be
planned In the fall, Mr.. Rosa suggests
that organization be effected immedi-
ately. The advantages Of fall blowing
and fall manuring have been demon
strated. The work should be done
while the weather permits.
