AMERICAN HONOR PLEDGED

A bold editorial in the Vienna Arb
eter Zeitung, Socialist paper, sta.
ting the conviction that it was only
for Il moral reason that the United
State entered the war, and yigor
0usly consuming Gcrmany's peace
by violence" with Russia, has aroused
great resentment in Berlin.
Neither for military nor economic
reasons, the Vienna paper pointed
out, could the United States have
made war on Germany. America,
the editorial continued. need but
have looked on while the people of
Europe were tearing themselves to
pieces, and reaped giganic profits
out of the struggle. Powerful Amer
lea has pledged her honor in the war,
and it is her will that this honor shall
be vindicated.
"Neyertheles. peace might have
emanated through America If that
peace has not come. the fault lies
with those who engineered the nego-
tiations of Brest-Litoysk and the
peace by violence which was their
outcome.
How, after this proof that this peace
was imposed solely by the will OF
the conqueror could Mr.. Wilson pos
sibly believe that the Central Powers
are DESTROYS of a peace based on his
own principles"

LANDS FOR NATIVES

In the future history of South
Africa, the Botha government may be
longest remembered as the author of
the Natives Land Act. The measure
is the greatest experiment that has
ever been made in the administration
of mixed people.
The Land Act Commission appoint
ed to review the division of land I'M
der the act between natives and white,
decided that the whites have been
given an undue share The native
population of the country is about
3,500,0O0 The lands set apart for
natives under the Act amounted TO
40 900 900 acres out of 100000 900. All
the remainder was allotted to a white
population of less than 100000
As the object of the act was to pro
vide for the development of the native
peoples under suitable conditions, the
commission has decided that the ma
tiyes must have Il larger share.
1t remains now for the South African
Parliament to confirm the decision,
after which various other reforms
will be put into effect, among them
the creation of native councils, the
substitution Of a system of paid agr-
culturallabor for irregular squatting,
ana the extension of the franchise ana
of education.

Observation-Disclosures
BIG Wages for Spare Time.

Factory workers in an Ohio town
last year, earned money during spare
time at the rate of 90 cents an hour.
That would be s7.36 for an eight-hour
day, $220.S0 month, S2,649.60 year.
That is a good deal more than a fair
profit on idle hours.
What were they doing? Working in
home gardens, growing vegetables
that they and their families ate. The
manufacturing concern for which they
worked during regular hours kept an
accurate record of the time the men
spent working in the gardens and the
value of the garden stuff grown.
This matter isn't news, particularly.
1t is nearly nine months old. But it
does seem worth mentioning just now
by way of calling the attention of the
Industrial workers of the nation to
the fact that time spent working home
gardens is not time thrown away, that
the hour they spend morning or eve
ming working the garden yields better
returns than any hour they put in in
the factory.

Care of Young Horses.

Give the weanlings and immature
horses good care. The colts should
be given an ample supply of grain and
good roughage in order that they may
mature into useful work horses. The
saving of grain should be made with
the idle mature horse and not with
the colt. There are many economical
rations that can be fed to both young
and mature stock, depending on the
local feeds available. Write to your
state experiment station for informa-
ton regarding the most economical ra-
tions to be fed in your state. Also

LABELS On lin CONTAINERS
As Necessary to Establish Reputation
for Reliability as to Have Prod
ucts Put UP AttractiveIy-
Cater to Needs of Buyers

Well-stocked pantry shelves found
in so many American homes at the
end of the canning season have not
been enough In the way of food saw
ing for many women and girls who
last year, especially through their or
ganized clubs, put up millions of jars
and cans of fruits and vegetables in
response to the worlds need of food.
Although some of this surplus
canned food, that the pantry shelves
would not hold, was sold on local mar
kets, and some of it was even shipped
to nearby points, here and there the
home Gamers found that it was hard
to sell the surplus. One of the main
difficulties, as pointed out by the bu-
reau of markets, was that the home
canned products were not standard
lied, for many cases were found where
well-selected, carefully packed stand
ardized goods brought good prices to
the home Gamer.
Best Markets.
Local or nearby markets for home
canned products are usually the best.
The attractiveness of the pack and
containers affects its selling qualities.
Merchants or other buyers do not
want q miscellaneous assortment of
products, and it is better practice to
put different products in boxes by
themselves and not to mix containers
of peaches and peppers, for example,
In the same lot when offering them
for SALE Containers should be graded
as to size and quarts and pints kept
separate. Labels are necessary on tin
containers and help sell canned goods.
Where products are put up by MEM
GERS of canning clubs under organized
supervision it is possible to guaran-
tee the pack of the different products
as to grade and weight of measure.
This is a considerable aid in selling,
since the buyer then knows exactly
what he is buying.
Pooling Products.
In case the products are pooled for
marketing, the different kinds of fruit
or vegetables can be placed together
in graded-sized containers, when, per-
haps, the pack Of any one individual
might not be large enough to make
up a quantity sufficient to attract
buyers. 1t is as necessary to estab-
fish a reputation for reliability as to
have products put up attractively- The |
of home or club-canned |
products can be made successful II
the Gamers will study the marketing
and cater to the needs of buy
ers. When orders are secured In adj
vance for products, home Gamers
should endeavor to fill the orders on |
time and give the buyer the kind OF
products agreed upon.
