IRISH POTATO CUTS

Do You know that the homely Irish

fanciful about 1t. Germany, super-ef1-

for one, think she owes more to the
Irish potato than she owes to the sue

followed a big crop. The big crop runs

the ladders, one on top OF another, and
some of them got out the fire hose In
case the mountain should turn out to
be a vesuvius or a volcano, and pretty
soon the first firemen, who was little

reached the top Of the mountain.
Then they helped Uncle Lucky down

after that they put the ladders back on
the big, long wagon and turned around
and started OF for Rabbitvii1e. And 1t
didn't take them very long to get
there, either, for they had eight billy
goats hitched upto that hook and lad

COMING xEsr AErER TINE wan.

Plenty to eat and fewer people to eat
it is to be the condition Of the middle
west for the coming year, owing to the
removal Of men for the war. Our food
crops are almost sure to be abundant,
but our men are going east to France
and to munition factories, ship yards,
and even south to the army camps.
There Is almost no immigration from
Europe. We are sure to prosper as
people because our plant and equip
ment is in our soil and Its products
command war prices, but our cities and
towns can not expect to grow except
where war contracts can be obtained.
However, the pendulum will swing
our way again when the war is over.
1t was so after the civil war. Munition
factories close down and mun&tion
workers are paid off as soon as peace
is declared. Not only will there be few
of the old jobs left back east for the
soldiers who return but many Jobs that
now employ men in the east win vanish
and the grain fields Of the west will be
calling for men.
Millions Of young men will hear the
shade Of Horace Greeley calling to
them go west, young man, go west"
and they viii The armies of khaki
clad men, full Of vigor 'and promise
afraid of nothing and willing to tackle
anything, will march westward. Lands
will be settled and cultivated. Noun
tains will be explored for minerals and
developed. Streams will be harnessed
for power and great irrigation works
constructed.
The west must go short handed while
tho war is on, but it is only in the west
that bare handed men can get their
start when the war is over. The west
will get them then. The best of their
race and Of their time. They marched
from Appomattox In '65 and conquered
the prairies Of the Mississippi valley.
They will march from France to the
Mississippi valley and across to the
inter-mountain region and even into
the Canadian northwest. The best of
post bellum development is promised to
the west from the war.
