WAGiNG WAR WITH WASTE

As in many other things in this war, it must be admitted that Germany set the pace in conservation when she collected in one year thousands of tons of fruit-stones, and also induced the peasants to grow sunflowers that the oil might be extracted from the stones and seeds. Taking a hint from the enemy, England began systematic overhaung of cellars and garrets and, says the London Daily Mail:
 Tn Islington, for example 100000 empty bottles were collected realizing 460 which purchased motor ambulance for the front. This collection copied by Wandsworth and Gpsy Hill, and each To- cality realized about 100. Horsham it is said con- peted with Devon town to which should collect the greater quantity of silver paper. Birming gham to have been particularly appreciative ordinary paper and cardboard and active have been the steps taken by the corporation that with the aid of the dustmen and baling- presses the covered has risen from 400 to 1,000 per annum Preston and Edinburg may also be mentioned as two centers where waste-paper has received special at tenton. It is estimated that the Kingdom might easily provide annually some 100000 tons which would mean million sterling from this source alone
 "The latest campaign is that of Holborn, which is on the lookout for old pots and pans Some centers collect sphagnum moss and wild thyme, others dande- lion and foxglove roots: in parts the school children gather horse chestnuts for the director of propellant supplies, and acorns for the pggeres in others these allowed to rot under the trees

 SAN FRANCISCO, March S.-Sol- diers and sailors who have-been buy ing Southern Pacific railroad com pany lands on the installment plan need not worry about their pay ments until the war is over, accord ing to a statement issued Thursday by B. A. McAllaster, land commits sioner for the company.
 These purchasers, MT. McAllaster said, would have nine months after the termination of the war in which to resume their obligations. This applied, he said. both to principal and interest. Mr. McAllaster ex- plained the time extension plan as follows:
 "The company enters into a sup plemental agreement with the pur- chaser under the terms of which his payments, as they become due, automatically are extended until either the end of the war, or until the termination of his service. All that the purchaser has to do Is to apply to us within the ninety days thereafter, and the date will be fixed; within nine months, when the first of his deferred payments will fall due, the others to follow a year apart in their original sequence

STEERS BRING
 NOTABLE PRICE

Cattle buyers at the big Kansas City stock yards were given something to look at and to talk about last Monday morning when a trainload of Arizona steers, sold on that market brought a price that was record and advertised this state in manner to make any stockraising state envious.
 The steers, twelve carloads of them, came from Phoenix and had been con- signed by John R. Norton and Son. The 341 head sold on the market for SIP a hundred pounds and brought a total of s42,014.12. The cattle averaged 1,033 pounds.
 Only 60 days feeding with Arizona alfalfa were all that were required to prepare these steers for market, ac- cording to MT. Norton. During the past year he has shipped from Phoenix about 1000 head of steers to the Kan sas City market. Previous to this last shipment the highest price Mr. Norton has received for Arizona steers on that market was $10.60 which was for a shipment made last November.

MEXICO REQUESTED
 ID CHANCE 0|L TAX
Republican A, p. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, March S.-Mexico has been requested by the American government to delay enforcement of and reconsider it's decree of last Feb ruary P, imposing the heavier taxes on oil producers and cancelling oil leases made since April 30 1917 Both American and English operators in the Mexican fields have protested that the mex tax virtually is con- fiscatory.
 As a. large part of the oil SUD- ply for the British naval forces comes from Mexico, any interrup- ton of the output would be a seri- ous obstacle in the conduct of the war against the central powers. Consequently both the United States and great Britain regard the new decree as a subject for diplomatic | representation, particularly in view of the report that Mexican officials 1 are determined to enforce it imme- diately.
 Ambassador Fletcher at Mexico City is understood to have included this subject in tie list of pending questions requiring adjustment be- | fore there can be an agreement be- tween the two governments for a freer exchange of foodstuffs and other commodities which Mexico needs.

 AMSTERDAM, March S.-Some of the German papers, commenting on Lond Lansdowne's latest letter, urge the imperial German chancellor to reply in the reichstag and demand whether Lord Lansdowne speaks for himself or at the request of Premier Lloyd George.
 The Cologne Volks Zeitung says the letter shows that the English people are beginning to fear the consequences of the Russian. and Rumanian peace and would like peace before it is too late"
 The Rheinische Westfaelische Zei- tung considers Lord Lansdowne "too clever" in wishing to pacify Germany with paper guarantees regarding Bel gium, while Germany needs real guarantees

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
NOT EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

An examining physician for one OF
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview Of the sub.
ject, made the astonishing statement
that one reason why so many appli-
cants for insurance are rejected ie
because kidney trouble is so common
to the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose appli-
cations are declined do not even sus-
pect they have the disease.
Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly, in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very sue
cessful in overcoming these condi-
lions. The mild and healing influ-
ence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest
for it's remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strict
ly an herOal compound, and we
would advise our readers who feel
in need of such a remedy to give 1t
trial. It is on sale at all drug
stores in bottles of two sizes, me-
dunn and large. 49,. .

RETAIL CREDITS IN WAR TIME

AS result of the war, retail mer-
chants are facing situation SO un-
usual and difficult that 1t cannot
be successfully met without the aid
and corporation Of consumers gener-
ally. Owing to the higher cost of
practically all classes of merchan-
disc. more capital is required to-
carry quantities of stock usually car
ried, and this additional capital is
for most merchants, difficult or inn
possible to secure. Wholesale houses
and manufacturers are in the same
situation with respect to higher
prices and need of increased capital
as are the retailers and they are try
ing to relieve the condition by short
ening credit terms and pressing coll
lections. The retail merchant is
obliged to follow the same course.
Actual capital must be worked to the
limit. It cannot be allowed to lie
dormant on the books in the form Of
uncollected accounts. Consumers
who study conditions understand all
this. They know there has been in
crease in prices of, almost every COM
modify, this increase in some cases
amounting to, 100 per cent. They
know, too, that it is very difficult
to secure some classes Of merchan-
disc at any price, and. that In order
to secure his share of merchandise Of
that character the merchant must
either have cash or unquestionedd
credit. !1aa II .ssg.5 = n .| |.-... 4.
The man or woman who owes an
account should hasten to payit with
out dun or demand, The idea en-
tertained by some people. in the past
that payment of a debt might wait
on the convenience of the debtor,
was always a mistaken one and GER
tainly has no place in the mind Of
any person at this time. when every
available dollar must be marshalled
for service, either in carrying on the
war or in carrying on the business of
the country. ""' - ,"%ESIS -

The adoption of this policy universal

What is necessary is that credit be
limited to short periods and that the
time of payment be definitely under
stood and payment in full made at
the time set. Merchants and con-
lsumers must cooperate with each
other; the merchant by accommodate
