POWER BEHIND THE NATION.

In an address before the editorial
convention held in the east it was
shown that sixty per cent of the
American people are served by the
country papers and smaller dailies.
The smaller newspapers constitute
the real driving force and police
power of sixty million of the Ameri-
can people-more than half the peo-
pie of the United States read the
smaller newspapers.
The farmers, the men who feed the
nation, and a great part of the rest
of the world--the thinking, inf1uen-
tial Americans who do not live in the
big cities read the country weekly
and smaller dailies
While the city dwellers in flats
and apartments spend their money
on canned goods and picture shows,
the readers of the country papers are
the great buying class from farm
tractors to jewelry.
The advertising value and the pO-
litical power of the smaller news
papers is not yet fully understood by
the great business interests and
craftsmanship of the nation, and still
less appreciated

One Tropical Spot.

Only at one place in the United
States Is there real tropical vegeta-
ton, says the Popular Science Month
ly. Florida and California have what
Is called 'sub-tropicaP vegetation. In
the midst of desert in the extreme
southern part Of California is a true
oasis. The oasis, Palm Springs, lies
25O feet below the sea level. SO hot
Is 1t there that there Is riot of vege-
tat1on all the year round. Enormous
fig trees and mammoth grape fruit
and oranges are always to be had.
The lemons that grow there weigh
two and half pounds apiece. The
responsibility for all this may be laid
to a beautiful little stream which is
fed by the Colorado river and WHICH
flows through the oasis only to disap-
pear into the ground at it's end.

NO NEED TO EXTEND DRAFT AGE.
BAKER.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Should
congress decide that it is necessary al
this time to extend the draft age linn
its either below 21 or above 80, OF
both, no opposition will be offered
by the war department.
In authorizing this statement to-
day, Secretary Baker said the depart
ment could see no immediate need for
such action, although the date al
ready is in sight when it will become
necessary 10 replenish the class one
reservoir.
A bill by Senator France of Mary
land to extend the draft age to men
from Is to As is before the senate
military committee and at hearing
on it last Saturday, Provost Marshal
General Crowder gave it as his opin-
ion that extension of the draft ages
would be necessary. He told the
committee that 100000 men would
be under arms by next August 1st
and that class one would be exhaust
ed by the first of next year.
The present tentative schedule of
the war department is said to con-
template the arming of four million
men by next January.

ASHURST BILL MEANS GREAT
DEVELOPMENT.

A bill by Senator Ashurst opening
about 3O,O0O,O00 acres of western
Indian reservation lands to private
development upon royalty basis for
minerals needed in the war, was pass
ed by the senate and now goes to the
house.
Secretary Lane approved the legis-
lation which opens to mining Indian
lands heretofore undeveloped because
the Indians lacked capital for mining
operations.
A leading system provided in the
bill would give the Indians royalties
of not less than per cent of the net
values of the minerals extracted.
Lands to be opened under the legis-
lation follow:
Arizona, 19, ,000 acres; Califor-
MIA, 436,000; Montana, Abb, 1000; :;
Nevada, 7,0O0; New Mexico, L.
$4,000; Washington, 3,150,000,
Wyoming, 608,OO0.
Leases will be for 80 years, subject
to 10-year extensions by the secretary
of the interior, who is given broad
discretion in approving development
projects.
An amendment by Senator Pittman
would prohibit Withdrawals of public
land for Indian reservations except
by act of congress.

MUST BACK THE GOVERNMENT

Few people, indeed, in this country
ing a. brutal, relentless enemy. The
Indictment against the Hun grows
stronger every day. He is absolutely
devoid of pity or chivalry. An Amer
lean correspondent reports a conver-
sation with a crippled British officer
who, after long stay in German
prison pens, had been exchanged.
The officer told of men so feeble
from lack of food and bad conditions
forced to work at the point of bay
onet until they dropped from sheer
weakness; of badly set fractured
arms and legs; of soldiers buried to
the accompaniment of the jeers OF
German soldiers; of the long jour
neys Of the badly wounded without
relief of dressings, food, or water;
of wounded prisoners marched to ex-
haustion and then shot down like

of prisoners put into camps where
typhus ragged.
This is the kind of enemy we are
fighting, and this is why all of us
must get down and put every bit O.
our strength back of the government
For one thing we must buy only those
things necessary to maintain our
selves in the most efficient condition
That will give the government more
labor and materials for war purposes
And then with our savings we must
buy War Savings Stamps. That will
give the government current funds
with which TO use labor and materials
in the successful prosecution of the
war. We must do as President Will
son asks us to do in his message
pledge ourselves on or before June 2S
to save constantly and to buy regular
ly government securities We shall
then be doing our part.

There are some notable changes in
The retail markets. mostly in the vege-

TO see as much value in the down-South
strawberries as some other markets,
and so the shippers quit sending them
here in as large quantities as two weeks
ago. Because of the scarcity the berries
have been advanced sharply. and are
now selling at 40 TO As cents per quart.
lost vegetables are marked down some
what, except the newest, and they ara
bringing the usual "hrst appearance"
high figures. Among the new arrivals
are green peas and asparagus.
The wholesale prices for meats have
been marked up, but the retailers have
not yet advanced. The new figures will
PROBABLY be put on Monday or Tuesday y.
The fish market is unchanged. EGGS
have taken on another small rise. and

MORAL DUTY TO MAINTAIN

NeutraIS,

AMSTERDAM. Thursday. March :1.-
Commenting upon President Wilson'S
proclamation regarding Dutch shipping,
the Algemcen Ilandelsblad says il con-
siders that there now devolves upon
the allied powers the moral duty OF
maintaining international traffic for
States which cannot exist without it.
Continued refusal to permit Holland 10

would be serious matter for both
parties.
The Telegram says It is wrong to
speak of rejection OF the allies ulti-
matum by Holland. 1t asserts that the
Dutch government acceded to the pro-
posals OF the allies as far as was com
patiblc with it's position as nonbel-
ligercnt and adds:
The ultimatum was thus accepted
in principle but in such "a form to main
tain Hollands rights as against Amer
ica'S unlimited power. The Dutch gov
eminent thereby acted in accordance
with the principles set forth by Pres
ident Wilson in considering a future
peace based upon right above might"
The NEWS van den Dag says it is
n singular fact that both the Dutch
and the allied governments seem to
have little knowledge of the course Of
events. 1T adds:
lone would be inclined to ask
whether there is some one in between
who is holding up reports"
