Save That Machine

Rust is the arch enemy of farm
machinery-why let your stuff rust?
The pillow that won't shed is the
one that wasn't kept in the shed.
The farmer who leaves his binder
or corn-planter out in the weather
is a true friend of the Kaiser.
The higher priced the farm veg
ons 60 the bigger is the need to put
that wagon into its shed when not
in actual use.
Saving the expense of a cheap
Shed loses many a man many times
its cost annually through loss of
farm machinery.
Save that machine-you may
not be able to buy another next
because there may not be enough
new ones to 60 round.
The farmer who leaves a binder
pillow or any other farm nipple.
ments out in the weather during the
fall and winter is disloyal to the
best interests of his farm and his
nation.

Food restrictions have made it
necessary for many stout woman
to reduce, greatly to the benefit of
her appearance and health. Now
that sugar and wheat are easier to

begin to indulge in them as former

lose what she has gained 10 gaining

Peace and Prices

One of the first statements COM
ing from the War Department fol-
lowing the signing of the armistice.
was to the effect that more than a
billion dollars worth of contracts
had been cancelled. That was but
the beginning of the retirement by
Uncle Sam from the buying counter
and the start on the return trip to
conditions of peace in our indus
trial life.
Roughly calculated the trade
barometer is more than twice as
high as in July. 1914 Statistics
furnished by R. G. Dun show that
provisions, clothing. metals, and
every kind of commodity doubled
and trebled in prices between July
1, 1850 and September /. 1854 The
effects of our Civil War also radi-
cally affected prices in the European
nations The end of the Civil War
was in sight in the fall of 1864, and
the decline in prices dates from
that period 1t continued until the
midsummer of 1869. In all COM
modities the peace decline amount
ed to IT'S of the war rise in the
United States In other words for
every dollar the typical commodity
went up during the Civil War it
went down seventy-five cents in the
following five years. The first rad
ical drop was in wages, but this.
was restored considerably. and the
rise continued until the panic Of
1873. when labor received a serious
setback from which it recovered
gradually in the coming years. Ma
terials used in all branches of indus
try started rapidly on the decline in
1854. and very soon there was a
general fall of about sixty per cent
AS noted the REIMBURSEMENT, or re-
construction period" finally found a
level when the increased price
amounting to dollar went down
to seventy-fve cents. And there
the country remained for many
years, until new conditions made
new values and new prices.
So there is your answer to the
question: will prices 90 back to
where they were before the war;"

The greatest asset of our commu.
nifty is the men and women who
buy of home merchants. It is the
purpose of our paper to help our
local merchants to hold that asset
for our town. They can do it if
they will make proper use of our
paper to tell their people where they
can find merchandise of established
reputation.

Disposition of Kaiser

One of the favorite topics of con-
versation just now is as to what
should be done with William Hohen.
zollern. ex-emperor of Germany.
Various degrees of penalty are dis.
cussed, the most merciful of which
is usually death.
1t is a very big question and peo-
pie in responsible positions are
thinking hard and not saving much
about it. We made this war pri-
MARTY because Germany broke in
ternational law. We must be care
full to have all our acts in accord,
ance with legalized customs of ma
tiOns.
The parallel that comes to every
ones mind is the confinement for
life of Napoleon Bonaparte on the
island of St Helena This penalty
was not exacted out of revenge or to
expiate his crimes. 1t was imposed
because men saw nothing but war
in sight so long as he was a free
man.
Similarly the Kaiser and his
friends will always be plotting for
him to get back to the throne of
G eImany. Some observers are
cl aiming already that the majority
of the Germans favor his restora'
ton. Ii the mass of the Germans
have become thoroughly sick OF
mon archical government. the danger
represented by the Kaiser will be
much less. Still there will Away;
be the chance that a revulsion o.
pOpular feeling will bring him bach
TO power lustine for revenge
International authorities are look
ing up the question whether thu
xtraditiOn of the Kaiser can b.
demanded from Holland. 1t would
hardly be worth while to make wa
on Holland to require his surrender
but other forms of diplomatic pres
sure would no doubt accomplish
the same end. Before the alliet
pc wers retire from German sell
they must consider the Kaiser
future very carefully. He will be {
peril as long as he lives, He abun
dainty merits the death penalty
The trouble is that when you begll
to impose this punishment. som
millions of others equally deserve. il

When the Indians taught the
