In order to conserve food, YOU
must put up more meat on the
farm. You are the steward OF
the American pantry. You
produce all the raw food. YOU
have had such a wonderful plen-
ty of the good things in life that
you and all the rest of us have
been both extravagant and
wasteful. Now we must con-
serve.
You have been selling your stock
to the stock buyers. He has To
have a little profit. He ships the
stock and the railroad has a little
profit. The stock yard has to
have a little profit from the
packers and they charge some
profit to the retailer, who has to
have a little profit out of you
when you come to buy your own
meat back again.
You could butcher off and on
during the winter and salt and
smoke your meat; in this way,
you could have a constant sup
ply of meat ready for the mar
ket. By using Wright's Ham
Pickle in sailing down meat, you
can produce the very choicest
sugar cured meats. BY smoking
the meat with Wright's Con-
densed Smoke you can save the
shrinkage and give your family
and customers the finest smoked
meat that can be produced.
Thus in using Wright Food
Products in curing and smoking
meat, you save money, you save
meat, save time and help save
the country. Drop in our store
and let us explain just how to
do it.

French reserves in a long battering- ram formation just behind the point of juncture of two German armies whose commanders are known to be on bad terms, forces by assault a break in the line at this point, and then drives his long, narrow batters ingram clean through the breach, spreads it out like a fan at the back of the nne envelopes and captures the German armies on both sides, and presses on to Berlin. Or, a little more reasonably, and with better backing of opinion in the military books fav- orable to such a maneuver, he tears 8 leaf from the history of the Amert- can Civil war and solves the problem of 1918 with Sherman's march to the sea in 1864-65. That is to say, he lets loose an American army of a mill lion men in upper Alsace, marches down the Rhine, takes Strasbourg, Mannheim, Mayence, Frankfort, and pauses not until the knife is laid at the very heart of Germany. There may be something In that idea. The attempt would at least keep large German army very busy for some months.
 In all these exercises of the mili- tary magination the amateur stra- tegists are performing in their un- trammelled way what the great gen. erals have to do with expert reference to hard facts and obstinate material Instructions. It is very much easier to move troops in ones mind than to move them over the ground. Never theless, the great generals have been great dreamers.> Napoleon Bonaparte had indeed a highly practical mind but his juvenile notebooks are full of wild strategical dreams, and his first great success, which made everything possible to him, was the audacious Italian campaign, full of imagination at every step. Military victories come in obedience to the military imagina- tion; they are not science, but art, and the great general is an imagina- tive artist If Tecumseh Sherman had not been a true dreamer we should never have had his march to the sea- which cut the Confederacy in two and utterly broke the back of its resist ance. Already we can see working in the mind of Ferdinand Foch the dreaming talent of his Pyrennean or Catalonian race, famous for it's art ists and it's poets. So perhaps we should not laugh at the amateur stra- tegists with their fantastic proposi- tions Perhaps one of them will turn out to be the very thing that will end the war.

Strategical Dreams.
(Boston Evening Transcript>


 We have arrived at an epoch in the history of the war when strategical dreams tend to arise in the mind of the thoughtful observer. For four years the contestants have been locked in a sort of deadly embrace from which there seemed to be no escape. Against such a condition of deadlock the average thoughtful mind revolts. It is a weariness too great for the human spirit. The thoughtful mind perceives that all the good gen. erals are partisans of free move ment' of the tactics of maneuver- that they declare no war can be fought out with stationary trench tac- tics any more than Q train can get to it's destination by blowing off steam and furiously sounding it's whistle without starting a wheel Somehow the spell of fiXity must be broken. All admit that. But how is 1t to be done?
 It is in replying to that question that the thoughtful mind gets busy and begins to invent answers. By surprise assault or that, the thing-or so it seems-couId be done. In thick darkness or fog the strategtcal dreamer embarks the entire British army with half a million or so of Americans, at Brest, or Le HaVre, fer ries them around to the mouth of the Rhine, marches or floats them swiftly up that stream, and hurls them into the Vltals of Germany. or perhaps he assemblies all the British ana

PRESIDENT WILSON NO
 DICTATOR.

Certain newspapers, in this state and elsewhere, which rarely hesitate to decry the Presidents Politics ls adiourned'' affirmation, are prone tc refer to our chief executive as "Dfc- tator", and this word has also beer used not infrequently by a few would be politicians in Washington.
 Those who have been guilty of in dulging in this reference to the Pres. ident were warmly rebuked yesterday in the House by Representative Fer ris, of Oklahoma, who declared tha1 "only enemies of the republic have made that accusation" Continuing he said:
 My answer to this charge is that it is a islander and an untruth, and that the man who makes such a charge in war time is a man who hates his country more than he loves 1t, who retards it more than he helps it, and who worries more about politics and partisan advantage than he does about the success of the boys at the front.
 The Constitution lays down the doctrine that the President of the United States shall be the com mander in chief of the army and navy. That commander in chief during war times should be, and of right is, the commander in chief in all the term implies. His power must be unusual, far reaching and com plete. To have it otherwise is to subject the Republic to the only criticism that has ever been suc- cessfully waged against a re- publican form of government. which is that a republic govern ed by the consent of the governed during the hour of great stress cannot quickly assemble itself for purposes of defence.
 The only way successfully to combat this charge is in time Of war quickly to give the Chief EX- ecutive full power to act, and to act without conducting a debat- ing society while the enemy of the country is at the gates.
 Can there be anything about this achievement that will make democrats ashamed of their de- mocracy or make republicans ashamed of their country? I pre- fer to believe that republicans and democrats everywhere will prefer to stand behind and en- courage the public officers and private citizens who stand square, ly behind the President, the Congress of the country.
 Agitators, like the poor, will always be with us. Washington had many Tories, Lincoln had many Copperheads and Wilson has a few pacif1sts and agitators. Wilson has less than the rest
 This scathing denunciation of thos who seek to harass the President most timely and will perhaps serv to check further calumnies of thi nature.

NEW LABOR LAWS OF 1918.
Advanced in War Time By Legislation
 And By Presidential Orders.

New York, Sept. 2.-Labor stan dards in war time have continued to advance in spite of scattering at tempts to suspend measures for the protection of the industrial army, and gains through legislation have been greatly augmented by presidential orders under authority of Congress to meet the national emergency, accord ing to the summary of labor laws enacted during 1918 in score of states and in Congress, just issued by

1 the American Association for Labor l Legislation.
 Protective labor legislation, won through long years of effort, has proved a sound basis upon which to maintain and increase the efficiency and sustained fitness of industrial aworkers," says the Secretary, Dr. John B. Andrews. Recognizing this, the Federal government and the states have almost unanimously insisted up l on upholding, enforcing and extend ing labor laws. Virginia is the latest recruit in the workmens compensa- ton camp, making II states and terri tories now having this form of social insurance, in addition to the model act of the Federal government for it's million civilian employees, and the soldier and sailors insurance act, the most important social insurance adopted by any country. With the experience before them of the belli- gerent countries in Europe, which have, in the midst of war, greatly extended the benefits of their social insurance systems, official commissions in eight states have continued their Investigations of universal health in surance, called by Surgeon General Rupert Blue the next big step in Anne rican labor legislation. The supreme Courts adverse child labor decision was a temporary setback, but the in dividual states continue to throw pro- tections around the employment of children. Several states, notably New York, have this year regulated wO- mems hours and conditions of work and have improved safety and health Safeguards. Nine state have enacted compulsory work laws as war-aid measures. Of far reaching national import is the passage by Congress of the law providing for the rehabilita- tion and re-education of crippled sol diers and sailors and their restora- tion to self-sustaining industrial pur- suits. Following this lead, Massachu- setts has provided for similar rehabili- tation of crippled victims of industrial injuries. Likewise significant are the creation by Executive order of the War Labor Board to improve indus trial relations, the War Labor Policies Board to establish proper standards of wages. hours and working condi- tions as we'll as housing of workers, and the expansion of the Federal Elm plOyment Service to meet the urgent need of intelligent placement of lal- bor."
 Social Insurance.
 Emphasizing anew the inroads made by workmen's compensation in the Solid South'' with North Dakota the only northern state remaining without such protection, a workmen's compen- sation law was enacted this year in Virginia. Tn several additional states existing compensation laws were amended, the change marking a con- tinued tendency to extend the scope, shorten the waiting period, and in crease the benefits.
 Kentucky extended her law to cover all euplovers of three or more per sons and cut the waiting period from two weeks to seven days. Louisiana found it necessary to penalize employ CTS for deducting the cost of insur- ance from employees wages and created a commisson to report and

 Laws to curb "criminal syndicalism'' and sabotage were enacted in Arizona, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota, in addition to similar measures adopted by Idaho and Minnesota last year.
