On April 2, 1917, President Wilson
called together the two houses of Con-
gress in joint session and asked that
war be declared upon the government
of the German Empire. In his address
he gave to us and the world the fight
ing slogan of the United States:
THE WORLD MUST BE MADE
SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY" For to
the great experiment of democratic
government, the people of the United
States is unalterably committed.
In 1914 when the Archduke of Aus
tria was murdered, the mobiles who
rule the Hungarian empire de-
cided to take that occasion to square
their long-standing account with
Servia In this decision they were
backed by Germany's rulers whose mad
plans of increased power are now so
well known. The basis of the hatred
of the Austrians for Servia was polit-
zeal. The reasons for the Hungarian
hatred of Servia were partially polit-
ical, but chiefly economic.
AS far as Hungary and Servia are
concerned, this war is largely strug-
gle between a feudal land-holding au-
tocracy and democratic, farming peo-
pie. The Servians were peasants.
Eighty per cent of them owned land,
and titled the land they owned. Hun
gary, also, is an agricultural country.
But 1t is, economically, feudaI state.
Only twelve per cent of the Hungarian
people own farm lands. One one-hun-
dredth of one per cent of the total
population of Hungary controls thirty
one per cent of all it's arabic land.
The small group of forty feudal
barons included in this number con-
trolls absolutely the destinies of the
20,000,000 of the Hungarian people.
Politically, as we'll as economically,
Hungary is a feudal autocracy. About
six per cent of the working classes
have the right to vote. Agricultural
laborers and apprenticed workmen are
excluded. But Servia was politically
a democratic state Every man who
paid three dollars year in direct
taxes had the franchise. The Servian
king was a peoples king who sat in
the National Assembly along with the
elected representatives of his people.
The Hungarian land barons are no
longer bothered by the competition OF
the free Servian peasants.
Even more clearly than at its be.

particularly if the bread is long in
rising. The use of more yeast will or
dinarily obviate this difficulty, or
baking soda sifted with the -four in
the proportion of one level teaspoon
full of soda to six cups of barley flour
may be used to neutraliZe the acid.
?. The second trouble with barley
bread may be that it is very porous
and moist This difficulty may be
corrected by kneading the dough
sitter. Barley bread is kneaded about
as stiff as rye bread.
3. Another difficulty is that barley
bread falls. 1t may look like very
good bread when it goes into the oven
and may come out fiat and heavy.
The substitutes cause the bread to
rise more quickly and therefore the
bread cannot be allowed to rise as
long as wheat bread. 1t is advisable
to allow the lo2yes to rise all that is
necessary before putting them into
the oven. Then if they are put into
a hot oven a crust will be formed at
once and the danger of falling will be
lessened.

German Alien Women Must Register

Government orders that all Ger
man alien women must register be-
tween June II and June Is were
received in Hurley yesterday. In
cities of more than 5000 people,
registration must be made with the
chief of police; in smaller towns
and in the country, with the post
master of the office where their
mail is received. The registry will
be under the direction of the United
States district marshal.
All female subjects of the Ger
man government, over IA years of
age, must register. Failure to do so
renders them liable to restraint or
imprisonment during the duration
of the war. Women married before
April 6, 1917. take the nationality
of their husbands. Minors become
citizens upon the naturalization of
their parents.

Saving fats Is an important item of
food conservation, but fats should be
saved by avoiding waste, not by cut
ting down consumption. 1t is often
observed that fats and oils Ia the diet
act as preventives of pulmonary tuber-
culosis. Persons afflicted with tubercu-
losis are directed by their physicians
to take cod liver oil and eat all the
fat they can relish. The best fats
are cream, butter. bacon fat, olive Gil
and beef fats, but healthy persons with
normal stomachs can consume other
edible fats and oils with equally good
results, American housewives until
lately have Ceen throwing too much fat
into the garbage pail. The waste has
been greatly reduced as a result of the
preachment of economy since the coun-
try entered the war.

The December borrowings from the
federal land bank on farm mortgages
amounted to about 100000. Loans
to the amount of nearly $250,OOO,OO0
have been applied for. These figures
show that the new system Is a success
so far as the farmers are concerned,
says Farm Life. There is a demand
for money on these longtime govern
ment mortgages. That demand will
probably grow. As the war further dis
turbs the investment world 1t will be-
come Increasingly difficult In many sec
tions for the farmers to obtain money
at low rates. There Will be greater
need for the federal land bank. We
think the present critics of the sys-
tenn are unfair. Conditions have been
extraordinary. We cannot consistent
ly say that the new plan is In any
sense a failure until It has been fairly
tried out under normal peace condi-
tlOns.

Dear Madam:--On Nav 23rd, 1918. we
received notice from MIR. Daniel Reid,
Chairman National Defense League for
Iron County, that the proportion of Iron
counys quota in the recent Red Cross
drive was S4,500 and the quota to be
raised by the village of Hamilton was
179% of the county's quota, amounting
to $S05.50. At a meeting of the commit
tee of the National Defense League of
Hamilton on Tuesday evening, May 2Sth,
it was decided to draw check payable
to the Iron County Defense League to
the amount of $1,000. This you will
note, is a little more than the village of
Hamilton's proportion, and we hope that
it will help lion County to go over the
top" as has been the custom heretofore.
N E. Gauthier,
Secretary and Treasurer.
P. S-The amount. Si94.50, you IN
derstand, is to help Iron County in going
over the top" in its allotment to the ma
tional RED Cross organization.

Vera ROberts-WOuld Like
To Have A Red Cross
Party, Too.

Dear Juniors:
The story that appeared in the paper
(Elizabeths Surprise Presently gave me
q sudden thought that nearly made me
say "oh" too.
This is it. too would like to have a
party like Elizabeth's. OF course
wouldn't expect the Red Cross hospital.
But to have Red Cross dresses for the
girls and cakes with a Red Cross on
them would be fine. Don't you think
so7
I think that would be patriotic. To
not serve anything with flour or sugar
I should think would be alright.
MY birthday is the fifteenth day Of
May. 1t is usually nice and warm.
Ever since can remember have
had birthday party but the last two
years.
In 1915 I had a most beautiful cake
but no party. don't think will have
any this year either. But I won't be SO
downhear.ed about 1t an I was last
year, either. Anyway TN write and tell
you about my birthday.

Lilly Brody-' 'Send Us Food
And More Food"

Dear juniors:
Send us food, and then moro food"
is tho cry Of war-torn Europe. Ali auth
critics who have studied the war con-
ditions say that food will win the war;
that the side which can the longest con-
tnue to feed its fighting forces and its
civilian population will be the ultimate
victor.
The war In Europe IL playing havoc
with flaming over there. Millions Of
acres Of Europe's farm lands are idle
and will probably remain idle for
years after tho conclusion Of the con-
11ict. This condition puts It up to
America to produce food enough for all
and she can do 1t because she has the
land, provided every acre Of It is cul-
tivated and forced to maximum produc-
ton. The millions OF acres of cut over
land and swamp land that now occupy
parts Of our country should be tnclud-
"a IN the cultivated areas. Think OF
what Il would mean II the 400, 34e,57
aoros Of unirnproved land in this coun-
txy were put to work producing crops.
Another way to win the war is by
ocenomi5ing and conserving.
Observe wheatless and meatless days
and saw your money so as to buy War
aAylnGS Stamps.

Dear Juniors,
Long ago they did not have this
beautiful but sad day. But when the
great civil war Of America began, and
90 many Of our soldiers were killed,
SnA great man thought of plan.
And this plan was to make the
Rfaves better and to put flowers on the
graves on certain day.
And many people blessed him for
thinking Of this great day. So the peo-
pie named this great day Memorial day.
Tho United States should especially
Observe this year because Of the great
world war.
Usually on Memorial day great
crowds gather at the different ceme-
tories to listen to lectures Of old sol
diers and noble men. And they sing
beautiful national anthems.
The soldiers march to the cemetery
with the band. They shoot over the
graves of dead soldiers.
Also school children march ana dec
crate the soldiers graves.
We also decorate the graves OF our
friends and relatives
