the pin cuts the paper.

am doing no more than my duty to
convince my fellows of the fallacy
of such calculations. I have never
seen the written opinion of any theo-
logan upon this subject, not saying
that very much have desired it, but
anyone with sound sense and a bit
of religious training can clearly see
by consulting their bibles that even
though his Beastship Kaiser Bill and
his pals cry Vorwarts nit Got it is
not conclusive evidence that God APP
proves of his success. God often has
a way of letting the devil stick up his
head. Now, the higher he props him
self up, the greater will be his fall
when the props are knocked from un-
der him. Look at the Belgian out

murderer entering your home with a
knife and firebrand. Who would be
the fool to assert that because he
cried "vorwarts nit Got" that we
should tolerate his presence. The
writer does not think it necessary to
go into details or hair splitting. He
only wishes those who read their
bibles and certainly those who don't
to become inquisitive and see Kings,

The War, The Farm And
The Farmer
(BY HEBERT QUICK

The farmer everywhere loves peace.
The American farmer specially loves
peaee. Since the dawn of history, the
farmer has been the man who suffered
most from war. All that he possesses
lies out of doors in plain sight,
and is spoil of war-his house, his
Grain. his livestock He knows that
he pays the price Of war Gin steer and
gear and stack and that the flames
that light the skies in the rear OF ev-
cry invading army are consuming the
things that yesterday represented his
life work, and the life labors of past
generations of farmers-the little cor
al islands of comfort and wealth that
decades of toll on the farm builds up.
But the farmer everywhere sa war
rier when war is the only thing which
will make and keep him free-either
a warrior or a serf. He cannot rally
to the colors as quickly as can the
dwellers in the cities, because it takes
longer to call the farmers from the
fields than the city -dwellers from the
shops; for many do not hear the first
blast OF the trumpet, and others &c
not understand its meaning because
they leave not had the time to talk the
matter over with their acquaintance OF
the street corners, in the stores, on th'
cars. in the clubs, and at other gather
ings, and instead of reading half doz
en- extras a day, the farmer may rea'
weekly papers only instead Of dailies
and must have more time in a suddel
emergency, to make up his mind.
The work of the fields, the care o
the livestock, and the mud and slus
of the long road to town are all obsta
cles to that sudden rush of news which
sometimes carries the cities away IL
rad outbursts of excitement.
!, 1t is impossible to set the farmers o
, the United States on fire by means o
any sudden spark Of rumor, or to bloV
, chance catch of flame among then
, into a conflagration with any hand-pe

ize what giant war has become. We
did not then know that monster has
arisen with thousand arms, who could
reach across the seas, and could take
three-fourths of everything we grew
without our being aware of it, and could
follow up his robbery with invasion,
subjugation, and national death. We
did not at first realize this; but finally
we saw that it was SO.
If the Imperial German Government
had made and enforced an order that no
American farmer should leave his own
land, that he could not haul a load Of
grain or drive head Of stock to town
if in fact the Kaiser had laid an in
terdict on all intercourse between farm
and farm and between farm and town,
he would have done only little more
than he accomplished by his interdict
against American farmers use of the
sea. What was the order against which

Z
ed I know an Iowa farmer who sold
his 1914 crop of $4,000 bushels Of
wheat for seventy cents bushel. Farm
ers in the South sold their cotton for
half the cost of producing it. All this
time those portions of the world whose
ports were open were ready to pay al
most any price for our products; and
when we finally rallied and set once
more in motion the ships of the world,
prosperity returned to the farms Of Am
erica. But prosperity never returned
to the farmers of those nations which
remained cut off from the seas.
Take the case of Australia, for in
stance. There three crops have remain
ed unsold on the farms. There were
no ships which could be spared to make
the long voyage to Australia; and so in
spite Of the. efforts of government to
save the farmers from ruin, grain has
rotted in the open because there was no
place in which to store it, and millions
of tons have been spoiled by mice and
other rodents.
Such conditions spell irretrievable dis.
aster, in spite of all any government
can do. Such conditions wuld have pre-
vailed in this country, from the out
break of war until now, gradually grow
ing worse and worse, and deepening in
disaster from hard times to universal
stagnation and widespread famine, it
