Fair to Both Sides.

The Argus has been asked If it will
publish argumentative communica-
tons on local option with the ap-
proach of the April township cleo
ton, at which the proposition is to be
again submitted to the voters OF Rock
Island. The Argus will adhere to the
program that it has followed when
the question was previously before the
people: Communications of reason
able length will be printed. but in no
case unless signed with both the name
and address of the writer. The Argus
does not expect to open Its columns
TO blind attacks from either side OF
the controversy. II a person is con-
WINGED that he is right in the position
he assumes on public question,
whether it be local option or some
other. he ought to be willing to sup
port his contention with his sigma
ture. The Argus wants to be absolute
ly fair in the premises. and will &C
cord the same consideration in the
matter to one side as to the other.

Bows as Farm Hands.

In these times Of intense scarcity of
labor on the farm, there is need for
serious consideration Of how the boys
can help. Farm boys have always
helped and will continue to give every
service possible, but there is an urgent
and increasing demand for more farm
hands. AS the cropping season arrives
this need will become all the more
urgent. In order to assist in meeting
this condition, the United States de-
partment of labor has organized a
boys working reserve" for the pur-
pose of mobilizing boys from 16 to 20
years of age for productive farm la
Dor. To enlist and utilize the ser
vices of every American boy in some
useful capacity in the production of
increased food supplies is the object
of this organization. The plans for
this work have been well worked out
by the government officers in charge
and the success of the effort will de-
pend very largely upon the knowledge
people have of the proposed plan.
The organization of this work in
Illinois is in charge of a federal state
director, Burridge d. Butler, of Chi
cago. Mr. Butler will present and ex-
plain the plan of organization and tell
how it will help thefarmers of the
state, in an address at the annual
meeting of the Illinois Farmers insti-
tute at Bloomington, Feb. 10, 20 and
81. The morning session of Wednes-
day. Feb. 20, will be entirely devoted
to the emergency farm labor problem
and the question of utilizing more boys
on the farm will be discussed in de-
tail.
The state institute recognizes tho
Importance of employing every ava:la

tional farm labor the coming year

ject be taken up at its state meeting

Sunday as a Recruiter.

Rev. Billy Sunday is to get into the
war for the United States. He's not
going across with rife on his Shout
der. But he would be willing to go
il he thought he would be permitted
TO do So Billy is too old to stand
alongside the youngsters who have
been selected to rout the Germans
from the trenches But his voice is
still good. and he can clench his fists
as closely as he could in the days
when he starred on the baseball field
Billy has been conscripted by the
shipping board to go forth on a cam
paign to recruit a reserve army Of
100000 artisans and mechanics to be
employed at the shipbuilding plants.
His business will be to stir up the
fellows who have heard that men are
needed, but who imagine that the
quota will be filled before they are
reached. Sunday has the punch that
arouses men to action, and no doubt
putting him on the job for the ship
ping board will prove an effective and
fortunate stroke.

PROTECTING Goes On.

The men who are irritating the ad-
ministration at Washington might be
better serving their nation if they got
behind some centered movement that
would bring relief from the high
prices that have. entered into every
angle of daily existence and from
which there does not seem to be any
immediate prospect of easement. The
people apparently are satisfied that
the war is being intelligently prose-
cuted and that no time has been sacri-
feed that will be to the advantage of
the enemy, but they are not content
with living conditions, and with the
manifest intent of the interests con-
trolling the necessaries of life to hold
quotations to the maximum just SO
long as they are allowed to do SO with
out any further intervention from the
government than has been indicated.
1t is to be expected that prices will be
higher than normal during the war
and it is doubtful if we will ever see
foodstuffs buyable at quotations that
were in effect before the trouble broke
in Europe. but the people are yet un-
convinced that they are not taken I'M
fair advantage of by their native pro-
ducers. What they can't understand is
that different foodstuffs shipped from
the United States may be had in Grea,
Britain and France at prices far be-
low those that are charged in this
country; mind you after the shipping
cost has been added. We are given a
variety OF explanations for the exorbi-
tant living costs in the United States
with now and then a mass of figures
to prove that a cent has been Topped
OFF here and there on some commod-
ity, but when the housewife takes
down her bills and compares them
month after month she can't see where
she has effected any saving; on the
contrary. she is disappointed unless
the bill isn't bigger this month than i,
was last month. The sincerity OF the
government in it's endeavors to hold
prices in check Is not to be questioned
but the fact remains that the public
has never been freed of the feeling
that it has been systematically
trimmed since the beginning of the
war, and that, despite all of the eff
forts that have been initiated to con
troll him, the food profiteer is prosper
ing now as he has never done before.

1t is said, as their publication would
endanger the lives of the men. The
most important document is circu-
lar dated June 3, 1914. in which the
German general headquarters orders
all owners of factories to open the
mobilization envelopes in their possess
sion. The Berlin government may try
as it will to switch the Odium for the
beginning Of the war, but there are too
many facts to fix the blame where it
rightfully belongs. And furthermore
the world knows that Germany had
been preparing 40 years to strike the
blow that she delivered in 1914. The
world was to have been swept of its
feet. That portion unbeaten by arms
was to have been intimidated into sub
mission to whatever terms Germany
saw fit to dictate as to its future gov
ernmental conduct.

For Wheatless Sunday.

The suggestion to make Sunday the
legal wheatless day all over the coun-
try is being considered by the food
administration, and has the endorse
ment of the best known bakers in the
country. 1t is claimed that on Sunday
more bread is wasted than on any
other day, and real saving in wheat
could be effected if this waste were
eliminated. Besides. an official order
of this kind would give the baker, like
every other ordinary business man, a
six-day-week working schedule and
permit him to rest on the seventh
day. We understand that both the

The Nerve That Keeps You Warm.
We explained the other day that it
requires nerve to take cold water
or cold air bath. Vaso-motor nerve.
That is the nerve that keeps you
warm. 1t is the part of the autonOmic
or involuntary nervous system that
regulates the distribution of blood.
Stimulate the vaso-mOtOr nerve in a
natural way, as by a cold bath, and
you increase the supply Of blood to
the surface and the extremities. Tone
the nerve by natural living and you
keep the surface and the extremities
warm. Depress the nerve by warm
bathing, or lull it to sleep by luxurious
or unnatural living, and your circula-
ton no longer responds normally to
varying environment, SO that you be-
come sensitive to drafts, wet feet, ex-
posture and bad weather
Space precludes citing the mass of
scientific evidence that proves that
coddling (wearing more clothing than
absolutely necessary for comforO
overheating (keeping the thermometer
above 6S degrees F., and confinement
indoors too many hours In the day
and night are the chief factors in de-
stroying the important function of the
vaso-motor nerve. You must think
OF this nerve, if you want to be
healthy. You must think of it as a
nerve with million ends distributed
to a million minute arteries through
out the surface of the body and the
important organs. Each little branch
controls the muscle of the arteriole
wall, SO that the caliber of the artery
narrows when the nerve is stimulated
and widens when the stimulus is re-
moved. This narrowing increases the
pressure of the blood in the little
blood vessel. and that forces more
blood to the part supplied by the
artery. So the vaso-moior nerve
keeps you warmth 1t is in good
working order.
