Would Life be Tolerable
if the Power Of Prus-
sianism held w orld
by Throat?

1t is the purpose of a common
determination to fight and to
bear and to deny everything and
never to cease nor rest until the
accursed thing which has brought
upon the world the unutterable
calamity, the DEVILS visitation of
this appalling war, is destroyed
beyond all possibility of resur-
rection.
That accursed thing is not a
nation, but an evil spirit, a spirit
which has made the government
possessed by it and executing its
abhOrent and bloody bidding, an
abominiation in the sight of God
and men.
Speaking as one born of Ger
man parents, do not hesitate to
state it as my deep conviction
that the greatest service which
men of German birth or antece-
dents can render to the country
of their origin is to proclaim and
to stand up for the great and fine
ideals and national qualities and
traditions which they inherited
from their ancestors, and to set
their faces like flint against the
monstrous doctrines and acts of a
rulership which have robbed them
of the Germany which they loved
and in which they took Just pride,
the Germany which had the good
will, respect and admiration of
the entire world.
] measure my words. They are
borne all too emphatically by the
hideous elcquence of deeds which
have appalled, the conscience of
the civilized world. They are
borne out by numberless express
siOnS written and spoken, OF
German professors employed by
the state to teach its youth.

GO TO WORK OR GO TO WAR
NEW PLAN
Provost Marshal Presents Solution of
Labor Problem to President.

ashington. April 5.-Drastic mod
ification of the draft classification
lists which would affect in one way
or another the status OF every one OF
the millions of registered men, is pro-
posed in a plan submitted to Presi-
dent Wilson today by officials of the
provost marshal generals 5 office and
the, department of labor While the
primary purpose Of the new program
is the "purification' OF the second,
third and fourth classes of reglstrants
who are not. engaged in any pro-
ductive industry, attention also would
be given to lower sections OF class
one, and the effect. its trainers be
lieve. would be to solve the nation S
labor problem and largely increase
the output OF the necessities of life.
The proposal would utilize the draft
machinery for putting industrial
slackers to work. Every registered
man who has been granted deferred
classification would be given to I'M
derstand that such defernent is not
legal right but privilege, and that
ii unfair advantage is taken OF that
privilege, it will be summarily re-
vokcd
1t is proposed to make a most care
iul survey of the lower sections OF
class one and OF other classes tn
identity those men who are -idlcrs or
who are gaining their living through
undesirable or harmful pursuits.
Under the latter head. officials >ug
gested. might be listed gamblers,
bookmakcrs for races, pool room
touts and others.
Formal notification would be served
upon the men that unless within 4
specified time they obtain employ
ment in some useful industry, they
would have their classification status
changed SO as to send them into mill
tary service Immediately.
Administration officials who have
participated in the preparation of the
plan declared that the next step would
be to obtain authority for the indus
trial CIaSSl1lCdl'bn t1 -llle lildu- -pt'Nc
Of the country up to the age OF 5t
years.
70 make the program fully eftectv,
it IS intended to utilize the existing
local boards virtually as employment
agencies for their districts. Accu
rate reports would be kept as to th'
vacancies existing in the neighbor
hood and when a man was intormc,
that he must seek a useful occupa
ton he would be told where just sucl
man as his questionable shows hin
to be was needed.
The status men on the clasSltict
lists. both in class one and III the de
ierred classes, in the opinion of the
provost marshal general : office,
would be improved. DclinuucntS who
did not heed the warning would bt
inducted into the military service, re
ducinS the number OF men to be callet
from class one. This would opcrat,
to delay still further the date whe'
the services of men in class two nigh,
be needed.

BOARDING POTATOES.

The Department of Agriculture adj
vised last fall that Potatoes, of which
there was great crop, be sold instead
OF holding them over for high price
this spring. That this advice should
have been followed, is proven by the
Facts. Last Fall and early winter
potatoes sold for Sl.25 to $500 per
bushel. Now it is difficult to get rs
cents, country farmer was here on
tuesday selling potatoes ut Is cents
ana glad to get that price. This same
man sold last Fall. potatoes at $500
hut Ike many others, he concluded
INT the spuds would be very high this
spring, and put his up and carried
them over. SO did many others. and
so, the market is now glutted with
potatoes. "If foresight w.s us eood
as our hind sight" this man and 9th
ers would not have boarded potatoes.

SENATOR HARMAN'S ADVANC
ED IDEAS.

Senator j. N. IIarmun spoke to the
farmers meeting here last Saturday
on cooperation and elimination of
the middle man, "thc blood-sucker"
he called him. The object of the
meeting was to form pool for the
selling of wool, which was done.
The Senator has had II few hob
hes that nre expounded ut every OPP
portunity offered. He is Socialist.
not of the Bolsheviki kind, However,
but firm believer in modified
form Of Socialism, through which
Il more thoroughly democratic con-
dition would prevail than is possible
under our present form of govern.
ment. He believes one man is rs rood
as another, that the blood in the
veins of both are derived from the
same Almighty parent, etc. He be-
lieves that the war will bring about
n radically changed business condi
ton, TINT competition will be done
away with, reformations take place
in our educational institutions. the
aged will be looked after by the gov
erEment, the farmer and producer will
receive the maximum price for his
products, profiteering will be placed
IN the same class with murder. big
farms will be divided up, thercll be
no more rich mcn-mllionaires, one
man will he rs good as another, if
he's honest and moral etc, etc.
These ideas of the Senator may ap-
pear to you to be the r;ntings of
n diseased mind, but you watch the
coming years and see if the prophe-
cy is fulfilled.

DEMAND FOR RYE FLOUR.

The mills and merchants in this
section seem unable to supply rye
Hour, for which there is some de-
mahd. Several weeks ago some par

but returned it OH account of being

Rye flour makes fine, wholesome
bread properly made, and is good

to supply the home market. This
present year should be great crop

cause we need more, and the need
will increase.
