Must Have Reserve.

Although the wheat harvest this
year probably will be one of the
most abundant in the history of the
nation, wheat saving must be con.
tinued even after this grain is
harvested. The drain of man DOW.
er from the farms and other indus
tries will result in a decreased food
production next Year and the year
following, and a reserve of wheat
is needed to tide over the lean
years.
"A reserve of wheat is as i'm.
pOrtant to US and the Allies as a re-
serve of ammunition" said F b
Mumford, federal food administrator
for Missouri, Not long ago sud-
den shortage of ships caused tenn,

ton was the result. This is an ex.

Lending and Giving.

1t will be well for our people to-
get correct line on the various
calls that are being and will be
made on their purses before this.
titanic struggle is fought to a
fiaish.
We must get the distinction be-
tween giving and lending.
In rhe first place, we might state
that our government has not asked
and will not ask for one cent of Gift
money. The extent of its call is
for lOans-and for loans on which
it purposes to pay fair rates of in
terest The man or woman who
buys government bonds does NOT
sacrifice for the cause, in the sense:
in which we usually employ the
word, At the most, his action en-
tails but a temporary inconvenience
IN diverting his means to different
channels from those in which he is
accustomed to employ them In
the end he has the full worth of his
money in the soundest securities on
earth-the promises of the u. S.
Government to pay
But there are calls being made
that entail direct giving The ac-
tivities of the Red Cross, the Y M.
c A, etc, are for money from
which there will be no financial re-
turn. Yet these calls must be met,
and met fully and cheerfully.
Why should we support these
great causesH Because they consti-
tute the great humanizing agencies
in the grim machinery of war.
Their work 10 to remedy the physi-
full hurt and undo the moral hurt
that must inevitably result from
war An army without the Red
Cross would be unthinkable in this
humanitarian twentieth century. The
horrors of war. at its best, are great
but without the minstrations of
the Red Cross our armies could not
endure
Likewise without the civilizing
influences of the religious and social
organizations the morals of our
troops would suffer deeply Their
minds must be diverted from the
grim duties of slaughter, aud they
be brought always to see behind
the dark clouds OF war, the silver
lining embodied in the ideal peace
conditions for which they con-
tend,
1t doesn't necessarily require
great patriotism to buy government
bonds, The support of these COM
panion agencies must come from
the great, generous hearts of our
people.

cause near the losing line. Had the
decrease been is to 20 per cent, the
Allied cause would have been lost.
A food surplus is the best kind if
business proposition. The people
of the United States generally are
anxious to do anything they can to
be of actual service in the winning
of the war We trust they will un.

Farms For Soldiers

The idea that many soldiers re.
turning to this country after the
war will be best cared for by putting
them in possession of agricultural
land has been advocated frequently
for year past 1t would have been
an easy thing to do 40 years ago,
but where is the land to be found
now?
Secretary Lane believes that it
can be found aud is asking for the
money needed to make the farms
ready for the soldiers Homecoming.
He points out that of the 230.000000
acres in the public domain more
than half will never be fit for cult
walton. The best of the remaining
undeveloped land consists of arid
land that can be irrigated, cut-over
land in the lake States, the North
west and the South, and Swamp
land in the Middle West and South
The cut-over land will have to be
cleared and the swamp land mus
be drained.
In order to make this land avail
able it must be located, studies
must be made to determine how it
can be used best and plans must be
laid for retaining it before even a
start is made toward Offering the
land to soldiers. AS the Secretary
points out, this is large undertaking
in itself, and one that will consume
great deal of time. He advocates
attacking the problem at once, 50
that when the men come hume
definite offers of homesteads can be
made.

Goods and Services.

' "oVut "DtCu VIC hdNC ICdu
great deal the last few months i.
one to which we can all heartily
subscribe. Il is also one which We
can easily make clear TO those Of
our friends to whom it is new.
A homely saying is. You cannot
eat your cake and have it, too.
This saying explains in few words
the idea of the doctrine of goods
and services"
We cannot 90 into the markets
and buy aud use goods of any kind
and at the same leave those goods
for war purposes. We cannot have
labor work for us as individuals and
at the same time have that labor
available for the use of the Govern
ment to help it fight the war
Every time we buy goods. every
time we use labor, we compete with
the Government.
II makes no difference that the
goods may be kind not used by the
Government. II the goods bought
by us are manufactured articles,
certain raw materials are needed for
their production. If the goods
bought by us are raw materials,
then we are taking from the mar
kets things that the Government
can almost certainly use, for there
are, indeed, few raw materials not
used in some branch of war indus
try. Moreover, everything we buy
must be transported in some way
and adequate transportation is vital
to the speedy production of war
goods and to the rapid movement
of troops.
1t makes no difference that the
labor we employ for our personal
use is labor not directly availoble
for war needs. The men who work
for us may nov make soldiers or
sailors; but whenever we use a
man there is just that much less
man power available for Govern
ment use and for use in making
those things necessary to the public
And then, too. no man can work for
us without using materials of some
kind.
This does not mean, naturally,
that we must stop buying every
thing and refrain from employing
all labor, Certainly not. Every
one is expected and, in fact urged
TO keep himself in the most efficient
condition possible, so that his body
and mind can give the maximum
service That necessarily means
t he use of goods and services. But
there is vast difference between
u sing only those goods and services
necessary to keep us in prime
physical and mental condition and |
in using goods and services that
we do not need.
And the reason we should re-
strict our buying to the things need.
ed is that we cannot use materials
and labor the way we did before
we entered the war and at the
same time have enough labor and
materials with which to win the
war.
Every day sees an increase in our
fighting Army. And our fighting
Army is made up of men from our
industrial army, And every addi-
ton to our fighting Army means an
increase in the amount of war
goods that must be manufactured.
There can be only one result to all
this great change-the ranks of
necessary labor will have to be in.
creased by the addition to them of
many men who have heretofore
worked at tasks not now necessary.
Peace goods will have to give way
to war goods.

One OF the most sensible steps
taken to counterfeit the influence of
disloyalists, especially naturalized
Germans and Austrians, is the
determination to file suits in all
cases of this sort to cancel the
naturalization papers, after which
they may be interned as in the
case of other alien enemies. Lists
to be compiled of all naturalized
Germans and Austrians, and all
who are found to be disloysl, will
be proceeded against, This is re-
earded as the most effective step
taken by the government to stamp
out disloyalty
