OUR WEATHER EYE
Democracy Going Wrong

We may be staunch champions
of democracy and of our own dem
ocratic form of government, and
still see things taking place in Am
erica which give rise in our minds
to doubts and misgivings
In the stress OF war, with every
thing we hold dear at stake, our
people should be able to get to-
gether. Then party lines should
fade, and party feuds be forgotten.
In 1917, we should have had coal
ition cabinet, in which the great
leaders OF the different parties, all
of whom are patriotic Americans
first Of all, could have got together
and worked jointly for the common
good. Others Of the great warning
nations set us the example in this;
but we, who claim to be the most
democratic of all, refused to follow
it.
Similarly, in time like the pres
ent, when immediate peace is vital
to every nation Of the earth, when
misery and suffering are everywhere
and when every interest of man
kind demands that the present
chaos be brought to an end quickly,
we should be the first among the
nations to take determined stand
for peace. We are the last instead.
Of course we can see political
relation between these two great
mistakes. In the first, the republic
can party was fouted and ignored
by the democratic administration;
and in the second, it has evened up
the score.
Just why the president should
have chosen such a course is not
clear. The war was really an all
American affair, not private en-
terprise of the democratic party.
The administration should have
risen above petty politics in con-
Quoting it. Indeed, it had An e1-
cellent example in the course adopt
ed by Abraham Lincoln, a republi-
can president whose war cabinet
was headed by the great democrat,
Edwin M. Stanton
President Wilson may or may
not have had good reasons for dis
regarding the precedent set by

BAKERY MOVED

J. P. Jorgensen, the baker, moved
his wares to the X. P. Hall the first
of the week, where he will continue
to turn out pastries and other deli
cacies for the public palate.
MIR. Jorgensen, who had some
difficulty in securing a suitable
building for his business, is, we
hope, permanently located and will
continue to cater to the public's
taste. He is an expert in the bust
ness and Extra will continue to give
him liberal patronage.

The Eastern Star Club gave a

To produce more eggs it is
necessary that the poultry be given
food for egg production. Scratch
grain alone will not produce eggs,
neither will Soft feed alone. Aver
age farm chickens should be fed
about one pound each, per week,
of grain. The proportion of grain
and wet food should never exceed
two pounds of grain to q pound of
mash.
Tractor schools OF two weeks
duration will be held by the agri-
cultural college at Ames for those

The school is open to men and
women over II years of age who
have at least common school
education. Each class is limited to
80 students.
The annual exports from the
islands of Hawaii amount to more
than eighty million dollars, nearl y
all Of which is sent to the United
States. Sugar cane, rice, coffee,
pineapples, bananas and other
tropical and semi tropical fruits
are raised in abundance, mostly by
irrigation. The group of islands is a
series OF masses of lava thrown UP
from the bottom OF the sea by
volcanic action in some remote
age. Their plant and animal life
are peculiar and curious.

Lincoln. Yet the fact remains that
he has only himself to thank for
his present troubles with the peace
treaty. Even this, however, does
not seem to justify the republican
party in holding up the treaty un-
der circumstances such as exist at

BOY SCOUTS

The Prince of Wales, heir to the
British throne, who is Chief Scout
Of Wales, while here extended to
the Boy Scouts of this country an
invitation to visit Great Britain
next summer. In addressing Mr.
Livingstone, president of the Boy
Scouts of America, he said, Bring
along with you five hundred or
thousand or = whole big shipload
of Scouts. III promise them
jolly time from the time they land
until they start back home. The
Boy Scouts of England, who
admire what the Boy Scouts here
hsve done and are doing, will give
them rousing welcome and one
they will never forget. Our boys
will return the visit
Mr.. Livingston promised to
give the British Boy Scouts, when
they come, . real American well
come and a wonderful time.
In attacking the high cost of
living the cry consta ntly goes up for
more laws, more penalties, more
probes, more reports, more regula-
tions. What We need is proper en-
forcement of the jaws we now
have.

Owing to the nature of mildew 1t is

emotion and I think 1t had touched
him a little. There was moment OF

then, for it seemed as If I heard the
