BEWARE OF ADAM-ZAD

Several reports have come out or Russia to the effect that many Rus sian people would welcome the com ing of the Germans in the expectation that the invaders would re-establish order and make an end of Bolshevism and all it's attendant ills. How large a group this faction comprises can not be estimated, but it is symptom atic of the Russian state of mind.
 Despite the apparent breaking up of the czars empire, however, It is in- credible that the Russians, when they again become settled, will look with any greater favor on kaiserism than on czarism. They destroyed an age old tyranny in deposing Nicholas II. and it is not reasonable to believe that they will be satisfied with another William II. or any of his Prussiah princes. The truth is that the coun- try, which is just emerging from the most far-reaching revolution of mod ern times, is still in, a 'state of Aux. ," It hardly knows what it wants, or wanting anything, knows how to get it.
 Yet this is the history of revolu- tions. It required decades for France to settle from the effects of the revo- lution of 1789. Russia can hardly be expected to recover from its sudden. debauch in a year. It differs from France in that it is not well-knit or ganism, fired by patriotism, but it is composed of so many diverse and dis cordant clements and is so vast a ter ritory, that it lacks the outward un- ity which most other nations possess. But it is reasonable to believe that the spirit of patriotism is merely dor mant or that in time it will flare up and consume whatever country or force that attempts to stif1e the fun damental liberties of the country. The foundation of nationalism laid by Peter the Great more than 200 years ago will not be easily shaken. "a
 At present the Germans have in- calculable advantages in an over- whelming forct. Militarily, they can do what they like with Russia. But when the real spirit of the empire awakens-as 1t will ultimately-the autocrats will find no welcome from uA bmZad tha haar that walks like a man."

OUR sHIPBUIIDING PROGRAM

A speaker in the British house de- clared that England was not keeping up with its schedule for ship produc- tion and that the United States was falling considerably short of what 1t had planned to do. Thus the only two countries which can be relied upon to defeat the German U-boat are not coming up to their expectations.

'servation OF food In fact. the prin-
ci7al saving in foodstucfs. in the house
holds of the country have been brought
about by the economy Of the. housewife.
1t was she who mixed the substitutes
with her wheat flour: it was she who
reduced the purchase Of sugar. and It
was she who cautioned her husband. her
children and her servants to. be sparlng
in the use of food. and it was she who
warned them against waste.
Not only In this country. but through
oct the world. have the women borne
tn" greatest burden in the production
and conservation of food. In France the
women chaincd themselves TO plows and
ploughnd the fields in order to produce
wheat to feed their men who were in the
army. and their children who were al
most destitute at home. In England
276UJn women have been working in the
harvest fields. Not only have they been
agents of production. but there is no
organized force that could have put the
conservation policy of the Food Ad-
ruiuistration in order like the women
throughout the country have done il.
So il will be seen that the women Will

From all over the Inland En-

edly early harvest due to the I'M
usual spell of hot weather which
has ripened grain alta most alarm
ing rate. Every labor agency,
commercial club and employment
bureau is besieged with calls for
field workers. Threshing outfits
are in such demand that crews
are working double shifts and in
some instances machines are run
ming all night. High wages has
stimulated harvest hands to extra
endeavors. There is also the ad-
ded appeal of the war situation,
many workers being actuated by
a spirit of loyalty in helping to
save every sheaf of grain.

The Americans still continue
to drive everything in front OF
them in the shape of an enemy.
Their wonderful pluck and fight
ing ability has put new life and
energy into the WORKOUT British
and French, and instead of the
much-threatened drive to Paris,
the tide has at last turned and
the slogan now is, con to Berlin"
with vim that is sure to win.
The Germans have learned-with
terrible and dreadful experience
that the only running the Amer
lean boys do is toward the enemy,
but never away from them. Now
that the Germans are Jared loose
and thoroughly whipped and rout-
ed, the task of driving them back
to their own territory and to
peace is not so difficult as it
looked a few weeks ago.

surprised to note the utter failure
of the wheat crop in the Palouse
country. All through that usu-
ally ideal wheat growing country
as far as the eye can see from
the railroad-the crop is dismal
failure this season, caused of
course, by the drouth. Most of
the wheat looks too short and
thin to even cut for hay. Camas
Prairie, in comparison, looks like
an oasis in a desert or paradise,
and our farmers can thank their
lucky stars that their land is here
instead of in the famous Palouse
wheat belt. Since the recent
heavy rains on Camas Prairie
many of our farmers will have
nearly full crop of wheat-and
none of them with less than half
a crop,

Of course the nation deeply

stockmen eve have been called upon
to face, and the necessity of buying
high-priced feed, together with heavy
losses Of lambs and in some instances
large parts Of herds, did much to mar
row the margin of profit which other
wise would have gone into the pockets
of h flockmasters.
Provident wool growers who held
their clip to take advantage of the bull
market, have taken down as high as
% cents a pound for their product,
states the report. The lowest price re-
ceived for wool in Wyoming, as dis
covered by the secretary of the board,
was ~ cents a pound, which in itself
represents top prices that ruled not
long ago. The average price realized
by the growers Of the state, thinks DR..
Willard, was between Al and 30 cents
a pound. The crop probably weighed
26,OO0.000 pounds.
That the high prices Of the past year
were due to the boarding of wool
stocks and materials rather than to n
shortage in the worlds wool supply, is
evidenced by the following extract
from a bulletin issued by the War
Trade Board. Declaring that no short
age exists, either in the worlds sup
ply or in the amount on hand In the
United States, the bulletin says:
THE price Of wool has advanced In
the United States by a percentage
greatly in excess Of such price advances
in other countries. The price in the
United States has advanced 200 per
cent above the pre-war level. The
price in England is fixed at 55 per
cent in excess of pre-war prices.
Cloth manufacturers Tin the Init
ed States) have been impelled by fear
to carry abnormal stocks of wool, and
to contract with dealers and importers
for unusual quantities of far-forward
delivery. Manufacturers of clothing
have been infected by a like dread, in
citing the purchase of cloth exceeding
in volume their reasonable needs.
1.-THE consumption Of wool during
1918 will be little If any greater than
it was during 1917"
