tains $500 calories of food to each
pound, but the production of this very
much concentrated food is being les
sened very much because the brewers
want the sugar which is necessary in
preparing the chocolate for sale.
Secretary Baker said, the other day,
"We must send across the ocean, from
now on, 125, 900 men each month and
it will take 100000 tons of coal per
year to do this. The brewers usel
just this amount of coal last year
while we closed some of our schools in
this country on account of coal short
age.
The Anthracite Coal Dealers asso-
citation said in their convention this
year, "We could produce 100000
tons of coal per year if it were not for
the drunkenness among our men,
That means 66,OOO,0OO tons. of all kinds
if the same proportion holds true gen.
orally. How many men would that
carry across each month?
| \ few years ago the brewers used to
say eve use so much wheat that if
You put us out of business you will
never be able to dispose of your wheat.
The farmer will starve. He will have
no market for his goods.' When Wa
were trying to close the breweries a
few months ago as food conservation
measure they said "We use only one
per cent of the wheat raised. That
amount is SO small that it ism t worth
while to close us up.' They spoke the
truth that time as far as amount used
is concerned. There are 100,O00,00O
people in this country. If the brewers
use one per cent of the wheat they use
enough to feed about one per cent of
the people. In other words, they use
enough to feed an army of 100000
men. Allowance must be made here
of course, for the fact that we always
exported some wheat. About the first
of March the government officials said
"We must send tc our allies before
harvest 100000 bushels of grain. u
The breweries used last year $4,000, 900
bushels of grain. During the year 1917
the kaiser's submarines sunk S,00O,'
900 bushels of grain in the sea. In an
effort to starve out our allies. During
that time the breweries Of this country
sunk 6s,o00,0o0 bushels of grain in
their brewing vats. Seventy-five pc,

that was true. Before the newspapers

attracted much attention. During the

| the troubles this war has brought upon
us. Let S blame the kaiser for start
| ing it and let g bear our own share of
| the blame for the troubles that our
| own shortsightedness and foolishness
| are causing.
While we consider the fact that our
Affections are after all comparatively
| light and that we bring most of them
| if not all upon ourselves it ought to
encourage us when we remember that
in the long run they will do us good.
Open air diplomacy with no secret
| treaties tc destroy its value will be the
rule vixen his. war is over. Already
France has schools where crippled sol
| diers are beng re-educated and fitted
to earn living. Men with one or
more limbs missing are being so
trained that they can do their work
almost as well as man with all of his
limbs unimpaired. How all this will
tend to do away with the professional
pauper you can readily see. Our boys
are being instructed in the art of car
ing for health in ways never taught
very much before. What will it mean
to have million or more of such men
come home after the war?
Autocracy will be crushed once for
all and the nations of the world will
realize that the strong nation is the
one in which the people rule. Democ-
racy will come to occupy larger place
in the minds of the people of the world
at large. This will be true at home as
well as abroad. We like to think that
all the autocrats are in Germany, but
there are plenty of them in our own
land. The capitalist who by deed and
sometimes almost by word says "We
have right to combine in order to
advance our interests by squeezing out
of the public the highest price we can
possibly get for our goods, but you
workingmen must not combine. You
must take what we see fit to give you.
We hold the purse strings and you
have only your labor to sell. We have
a right to sell our goods at our own
price, but you haven 't.' Forces are
at work in this war that will do away
with good deal of this. We used to
think that the public wasn't fit to run
railroads and to control some other in
dustries, but We are learning better
now. A spirit of unity, spirit Of
brotherhood, spirit of unselfishness
is growing up. This is based upon a
better understanding of one another
and consequent greater mutual regard
for one another. The war is driving
us closer together and forging bond
of unity that never shall be broken.
You may not be able to agree with
me in the details of all that l have
said. This is of little consequence. Ifl
you will believe that life is not as dark
as it sometimes seems, that our troubles
are usually brought on by ourselves
and that they may be remedied and
that we learn by them the way to BET
ter things l shall be satisfied.

izations have become motion picture
classics, MT. Hart has a new and in
|tensely interesting role, that of dive
keeper in a mining town in Arizona,
whose selfshness is his stock-in-trade.
Yates theory is that his own personal
interests should engage his attention
solely and refraining from interfering
in the business of others, he sternly
prohibits anyone else from interfering
with his.
One day a young woman OF the lof-
test character enters into tie sphere
of his existence and by her purity and
softness effects a spiritual regener-
alton in this ruffianly character. This
lis not accomplished without trouble on
his part, but after series of thrilling
incidents, and he comes to real1za-
ton OF his great love for this girl.
There are numerous captivating
scenes which throw historical light
upon the early mining days In Arizona
