The Farmer is Not RIamable.

A grouchy individual, who signs
himself "a Consumer" in a letter to
the Minneapolis Tribune, complains of
the high price of potatoes and vents
his spleen on the farmer, and con-
cludes by saying: "Potatoes at So .
bushel?" "No, thank you, can't af-
ford luxuries at four times their
value"
Mr.. Consumer should blame some
one else besides the farmer if he is
obliged to pay So per bushel for spuds.
Farmers ought to, but do not, receive
$1.OO per bushel for around
go cents is offered.
The past season it cost the farmer
from 60 to 70 cents on the average for
every bushel of potatoes he raised.
Would Mr.. Consumer care to sell po-
tatoes for 20 cents per bushel less than
it cost him to raise them?

The Whole Truth.

The richest rewards come only when
one can literally fall in love with ones
work. If you are keenly interested in
your daily efforts your work is being
done more satisfactorily. It is labor
of love. Every day is an enjoyable
experience.
Love your work, retain your youth
full enthusiasm. All this means that
you must take every possible care of
your health. That you must maintain
your physical energies at highwater
mark. Remember always that you
depend upon your bodily machine for
the attainment Of your object in life.
Take care Of that machine.
Is it not worth more than an auto
mobile, than an airplane, fine horse
or dog? Is it not in reality beyond
financial valuation? Recognize it's
value to the full. Remember that each
day you are what your food makes
you. Your muscles, the strength and
contour Of your body, are Influenced
by the exercise you take. The blood
that makes up the tissues, that nour-
ishes and gives energy and enthusiasm
to your brain, depends upon your diet
and exercise and the general care you
give your body.-Physical Culture.

THE ONE GREAT ISSUE.

That sterling weekly, The Outlook,
easily the foremost publication of it's
kind in the United States, takes sane
and sensible view Of national prohibi-
ton and favors it. But, we should
Judge from the following excerpt from
a leading article on the subject in the
current issue of The Outlook, it has
some doubts of the advisability of max
ing national prohibition an issue at
this time:
To carry on these battles and to
carry on the war against Pan
at the same time is going to put our
people to a severe test. Can they
carry on these struggles in the states
without diverting their attention from
the colossal task of beating Ger
many? Those who realize how big an
enemy the liquor traffic is and how big
an enemy Germany is are the ones
who need most to exercise their faitl,
in the intelligence and character of the
American people. Either enemy alone
is menacing enough. To carry on a
struggle with both at the same time
is going to call for the exercise of the
mind and the will Of every citizen to
the fullest extent. It will require
craftsmanship and leadership of the
highest order to conduct the forty
eight campaigns on the prohibition
amendment without diverting the at
tention Of the people from their duty
Of seeing the war against Pan-Ger-
many through to victory.
Prohibition, road-improvement, gov
eminent ownership of railroads and
every other moral and material issue
pale into insignifcance when COM
pared with the great overshadowing
issue of winning the war. Everything
else is of secondary Importance.

ONLY TOO TRUE.

Any one or anything will do for a
legislative candidate next year, pro-
vided he is in favor of the anti-liquor
amendment to the federal constitution.
That appears to be the only test in
certain circles, while experience or
ability are mere secondary considera-
tions.-Hastings Gazette.
The above is only too true, but it
applies equally to both sides of the
liquor question. Some *'poor sticks"
have been elected to the Minnesota
Legislature in recent years on the
liquor issue. The only qualification
required Of the candidate was to pledge
himself to vote for or against county
option or other restrictive temperance
measures. AS the Gazette says ex-
perience and ability were of minor i'm
portance.

the war. s.
It was this, consideration, along with
others, that no doubt led the president
to entrust the secretary of the treas
ury with the dictatorship Of the rail-
roads. True, Mr.. McAdoo is the pres
ident's son-in-law, and is credited with
a lively aspiration to succeed him in
the presidency. It would have been
more reassuring to the country if the
suspicion Of political motives could
have been excluded. But the admins
tration has not yet been able to dis
regard such considerations entirely,
and if Mr.. McAdoo now "splits the
wood" there will be no great protest
so exigent is our war necessity.
It remains for congress to confirm
the new plan-to provide such legis-
lation as is necessary to energize it.
There are signs that this will not be
accomplished without friction. But the
president will doubtless get what he
wants from congress as usual.
Meanwhile, the railroad situation is
already relieved by his bold move, and
ought to show steady Improvement.

A Plea for the Birds.

We have been having bad weather
for the birds Of winter. In the cold
and the storm and the snow our feath-
cred friends must have more food to
keep life in them than they need in
summer, and in winter bird food is
most scarce.
A bird is a warm-blooded creature.
It needs fuel to keep the fires burn
ing. It is almost impossible to find the
fuel in snow-banked fields, and it is
hard skirmishing to find it in quanti-
ty sufficient for life-saving purposes
in snowless fields which have been
barred by the breath of winter.
Most of our winter birds are seed
eaters, but there are some hardy
species, living largely on insects,
which manage to make shift when no
insects are awning. A shallow of bird
seed of almost any kind mixed with
cracked corn, or even the sweepings
from the table, will be welcome to-
most of our birds In winter. Every
bird that we have with us in the cold
weather will rejoice when it finds that
some worthy person with a heart for
the hungry has dashed a lump of suet
to a limb where all the feathered Wis
itors may feast. Suet is warming, and
all birds love it.
Everyone should invite the birds to
breakfast, dinner and supper. They
will come to the window sill to get it.
They are fearless under the impulse
of hunger and willing to seek mans
companionship. They are good neigh
bors, and they make return in kind for
every good deed done unto them.

In another column there is repro
duced an editorial from the Minneap-
oils Tribune. The pith of the article
is that Mr.. Nelson can render the
country greater service by remain
ing in the senate through the present
crisis than he did in the sixties when
he battled for the preservation of the
union, which is in line with the senti-
ments repeatedly expressed in the COL
umns of this paper. The wishes of the
loyal people Of Minnesota will have
weight with Senator Nelson. for he
is just as loyal and patriotic today as
he was in the sixties.

If our opinions are correct airplanes
will to a great extent supplant the
automobile following the period of the
war. These machines have been so
improved that they are comparatively
as safe as automobiles and will doubt
less receive further improvement with
in short time. We predict that in
ten years from now it will not be
unusual to see a flock of airplanes
speeding along at almost any time.

Nanny Was Right.

A colored woman was busily en-
gagged in emptying her savings stock
ing on the desk of the Liberty loan
clerk. AS the silver dollars, quarters,
dimes, nickels, etc., rolled out on the

SirFrederick Smith, attorney general
of Great Britain, is in Washington for
the purpose of laying plans before the
United States government for draft
ing British subjects Of military age
into the home army-exclusive, of
course, of those who have joined the
American colors. Sir Frederick ex-
plains the proposition, which has been
applied in England with success, by
saying that thousands of Russian Jews
in Great Britain were informed that
they would either have to return to
their native land or be drafted into
the army. They preferred to be draft
ed although they started much agita-
ton. The scheme looks like good
one. Public sentiment is strongly
averse to permitting aliens immunity
from war service. r.

Down in tho 1yh;rl

Down in the Third congressional
district there is considerable OPPOSE
ton to the present congressman,
Charles R. Davis, and ex-senator JUL
JUS A. Collier of Shakopee is talked of
as his possible opponent for the re-
publican nomination. Mr.. Collier is of
German ancestry, but he is an Ameri-
can every inch of him. He made an
excellent record in the state senate and
is extremely popular throughout the
district. Collier would be a great i'm
provement on Davis. The latter would
be more at home in the German bund-
esrath than in the American congress.

If we are capable of prognosticat-
ing, even in slight degree, candidates
for office will not resort largely to
that cobwebby phrase, '*born on a
farm" in their advertisements asking
support at the next election. While
there is no better place than a farm
to be born on, the voters do not care a
tinker's dam where a person first saw
daylight so long as he possesses
brains.

The Government Stems Tn

By a stroke Of his pen the president
combines the railroads of the country
into one vast transportation system
under control and direction of the gov
eminent.
1t is a momentous act, the ultimate
consequences of which cannot be fore
seen, but the immediate necessity of
which is palpable. 1t is the short cut
by which the government wipes out
the last traces of that competition
among the railroads which it has chung
to so long and so tcnaciously in the
face of economic law, and has sought
to enforce by rigorous laws against
all forms Of combination.
The railroads were forbidden by law
to pool their earnings, though it was
only by such action that they could
weld their properties into one su-
premely efficient tool for the war
crisis. They had practically gone to
the very limit of their powers in seek
ing to combine their facilities and
raise their service to the maximum
efficiency.
They had, at heavy expense to some
OF their security holders, achieved a
twenty-five or thirty per cent i'm
provement. But that was not enough.
The situation required that the obsta-
Gle of forced competition be over
come.
Rather than take the chance Of de-
lay and possible defeat in pursuading
congress to repeal or suspend the laws
against combination, the president
avails himself Of the powers already
granted by congress to effect a gov
eminent dictatorship.
The terms upon which this is es-
tablished guarantees holders of rail-
road securities the same average re-
turn they have received in the last
three years. That this is a satisfac-
tory basis is shown by the Immediate
appreciation in the market of de-
pressed railroad securities. It natural
~ involves government financing of
the railroads during the period Of con-
troll.
This permits welcome co-ordina-
ton in the solution Of our war prob
lens of finance. The floating of Lib
erty loans, which has heretofore mo-
nopolized the investment market ia
the exclusion of railroad necessities
will now be so managed as to include
them. Financing the railroads now
becomes part Of the job Of financing

A beautiful specimen of typograph-

National Geographic Magazine for
October. It contains historically accu-

COal-Selling Regulations.

The following rules for coal dealers
have been received by all the Prince
ton firms engaged in the fuel business.
John F. MCGEE, federal fuel admin
istrator, has, in the interest of neces-
sary conservation, issued the orders
hereunder printed:
CD Sell anthracite to hard-coa]
users only.
(a) Those who have previously
used soft coal or wood must with the
same plants) continue to do so.
(b) No hard coal, except egg, is to
be sold for use in cook stoves, ranges
or plants that can use soft coal, even
though it causes the user some incon-
venience to use soft coal.
(2) Sell no anthracite or bitunain-
GUS coal to consumers who have a
months supply on hand.
(3) Sell no anthracite or bitunin'
Gus coal to consumers who have access
to wood, and who can use wood even
though it may inconvenience them
Every cord of wood used will save
about one ton of coal for other pur.
poses. I find that in some cases q
long drive will be taken to buy coal
although a good supply of wood is al
hand and needs only to be cut. IT,.
az Coal is to be sold to such out
of town consumers as have previously
been obtaining their supply from your
point of distribution.
Every dealer must satisfy himself
as to the above points before making
sale or delivery of coal.

Show Them No Mercy.

It is said that the I. w. w. organiza-
ton has $4,000 members in the United
States. They constitute a continuing
menace to industry and government.
In times of war they are a nucleus
through which foreign spies and enc
my propogandists work. Organized
society ought to show no mercy in
dealing with them. Essentially they
are anarchists, enemies of law, and
promoters of disorders; and those who
sympathize with them are abettors of
treason.-Dawson Sentinel.
