THE ELks IN WAR.

Muscatine Journal: The part which
the Order of Elks is playing in the
u. 8. war camp activities is not gen
orally realized by the American pub
lie. In accordance with the traditions
OF Flkdom. this work is as unnstenta-
tious as their charity projects. The or
der has no publicity department, nor
are the members given to q discussion
of the endeavors and accomplishments
of the order, hence it is only natural
that the scope of their work is just
beginning to be realized.
Here are some facts in connection
with the war relief work of the order,
which as a matter OF fact Is war his
tory:
During this year and last, fund Of
SO. 600 900 has and Is being raised for
the purpose. of war relief.
Two base hospitals have been es-
tablished in Franco and are now in OPP
Grafton Each hospital has a capacity
of one thousand beds and is fully
equipped.
A permanent reconstruction hospi-
tai is under construction at Boston.
which has been accepted by the gov
eminent and is nearing completion.
This hospital Is q large building OF
fireproof construction, six stories hlgh
and it is expected that it will be COM
pleted in the next few weeks, when it
will be dedicated and turned over to
the governm ent. Plans are made for
second hospital of similar nature to
be built in New Orleans. The govern
ment also has accepted this second
plan and the construction of it will
begin soon.
Part OF the funds being raised will
| be used in welfare work at the mill

HIS OWN JUDGMENT.

! Henry Ford's announcement that he would,
las senator, act on his own judgment on ques-
tions that arose, must be disheartening to intel
Ggent supporters who realize how immature
his political judgment is. Save in the manage
ment of his great industrial enterprise, his
Judgment, so to call it, has been decidedly i'm
mature; and some of his acts and utterances
have invited the pity and derision of the world.
Had he pledged himself to unquestioning sup
port of the administrations war policy his
course might be right in the main and the
country would know where he stood and what
to expect. But his pronouncement would seem
to be of such negative quality as to give even
the administration pause Ford's peace ship
folly and heretofore proclaimed opinions on
patriotism and pacifsm, on war in general and
this war in particular, are calculated to make
men wonder If his judgment would be of value
ron the vital issues soon to confront this nation
aud the rest of the world.

there never was before such land
1t seems that the government has
only to request" a thing, and
whether it asks for peach stones or
a railroad. the thing is done quicker
than any command of the German
imperial government was ever exc
cuted. If the president asks the
people to quit eating meat or wheat,
they just quit and that is all there
Is to 1t. If he wants the railroads
and telegraphs and telephone lines
for war purposes, no protest 1. made
and they are placed at his disposal.
In America, before the war. there
was the largest leisure class In the
world and thousands Of rich women
lolled around with a host of servants
to walt upon. The president asked
them to go to work. and they went
to work, some of them scrubbing
floors In the hospitals and other
mental tasks"
The picture may be somewhat over
drawn, but in the main it is true.

DEMAND FOR WOOD AS FUEL.

From the federal fuel directorate comes an
urgent request to county fuel administrators
and rural agencies in general to cooperate IN
all Ways likely to increase the supply OF fuel
wood for the coming winter. The fuel director
warns ruralities that it will not be easy to get
coal in midwinter, particularly if it can be
shown that the demand for it comes from own
ers of wood that could now be prepared fer
fuel An intensive campaign of publicity has
been started in rural communities by which at
tention is invited to this matter. At the same
tine the department of agriculture urges owe
ers of estates to remove at once from their prop
erty dead and unsightly trees and to convert
these into frewood. Improvement Of such
property has been halted by shortage of labor,
but the agricultural department promises CO
Operation in any project which looks to In
crease of thefuel wood supply.
Speaking in the house of representatives a
few days ago, Representative Robbins, OF
PENNSYLVANIA, submitted statistics to show that
in sixteen southern states there has been spent
over four hundred and ninety million dollars
in the construction of environments and other war
emergecy structures, while in fourteen north
ern states with a far larger population only two
hundred million dollars has been spent for
similar purposes. Those sixteen Southern
States paid into the federal treasury internal
revenue taxes for the current fiscal year, two
hundred and ninety-one million, six hundred
thousand dollars, while the fourteen Northern
states paid in two billion, one hundred and
ninety million dollars.

cific coast states would so hungry were
IT not for the food production of the
southern states and middle western
states
While the above figures are irrefutable
and are extremely gratifying in regard
to the showing made by the south in
producing food and feedstuffs, still our
farmers must yet doubly exert themselves
to still increase the production of food
and feedstuffs during the coming year,
SO that we cannot only supply some OF
our sister states, which the above figures
show are incapable of supporting them
selves in agricultural products, but we
must be in a position to ship more food
and feedstuffs to our soldier boys abroad
and the allies.
In other WORDS, not only will the
friends of the south, but even our critics
will doubtless be surprised at the above
table showing that the 16 southern states
in food production alone furnished in
1917 347 per cent. These figures do not
include the cotton crop. Add the cotton
crop, and the quota furnished Of agri-
cultural products by the south is ~ per
cent. While the 16 southern states com
prise one-third of the total states, the
quota furnished in agricultural products
is in excess of one-third, while the pop
ulation of the southern states is not one
third of the total.
