Every farmer has seen a windmill.
Millions Of farmers own one or maybe
two. And every farmer knows that a
windmill can't go without wind. There
is an old-fashioned expression about
raising the wind" meaning that one
is raising the money for some venture
Uncle Sam is raising the wind at
this time for one of the biggest jobs
he ever has had on his hands. 1t is

WHAT GREAT WARS HAVE COST
expenditures That In the Aggregate
Amount to Sum Sufficient to
"Stagger Humanity

Recently the congress of the United
States passed, almost without debate,
the greatest budget in the history of
the world, making available for Uncle
Sam $1,000, 100000 in order to carry on
the war on scale commensurate with
It's greatness. II is interesting, there
fore, to compare with this the cost Of
other wars. The Napoleonic wars,
which ragged over Europe from 1893 Ia
1915, cost approximately 100000, 900.
or the same amount that congress pro-
Nded for the United States to enter
Into the conflict, and that was only
beginning.
The Mexican war cost the United
States about S1OO,000,o0O. a compare
lively trifing sum. The Civil war,
however, was very expensive affair,
entailing the expenditure of sS,OOO,-
600 900 from 1851 to 1865. The Franco
Prussian war cost the two nations en-
gagged about So, 500,0OO,0OO. The second
South African war, from 1900 to 1902,
cost 81. 500, 100000, the conflict between
Russia and Japan consumed almost
$4,000, 600, OO0 while the United States
got off very cheaply In the Spanish
American war with an expenditure OF
S176.OOO,OO0. The estimates on the out
lay for the present war up to October
