AMERICAN RED CROSS.

How fully the people recognize the valuable service that the American Red Cross was prepared to render through it's excellent organization is shown by the manner in which they responded to it's appeals of all kinds during the war There have been many instances in which this iorganiN zation has sought aid in order to ex- tend help to suffering humanity fol : lowing some calamity and where the people have generously responded, but i1 no instance did the people of this county y set out to meet their respon- sibilities toward this organization to the extent that they did during the war.
 It was not case solely of giving but of helping and it is showr by re- ports of the organization that those who worked in the various chapters throughout the country numbered B. 100000, while there were millions more who contributed in other ways. And when it comes to the plov.d.ny of funds tine estimate is that there were 43,90a cto who participated :,l giving to ne gl est second war drive. That [ showed it,w thoroughly the pco>.s of thu country were back of this organi- zlticn's W>-ik.
 Fully s4oo, 100000 was raised for the war work of the American Red Cross and while s154, ,000.0 was spert across the water, mostly in France, for the benefit of the American fnrces, ti:eie were others of our allies in the wa countries that gots ce~tain bene- fits. At the same time there was spent s119.oO0.o0o in this country and since last March the balance of S127, ,000, 900 has been largely spent here in caring for the returned sol f,e:S.

LAsoa's WITHDRAWAL.

Not . little surprise will be occa- stoned by the action of the labor del- egztes in withdrawing from the in- dustria1 conference It is true that what the labor delegates had been asking for had not been favored but that was not an excuse for withdraw ing IT. -s not a conference called for the purpose of meeting the demands Of any one group but to decide upon policy if possible that will bring capital and labor to a better under standing Labor gives the impression that it is peeyed because it cannot have its own way, but as far as the question of that conference undertak- ing to arbitrats the steel strike is concerned it should have realized that that was not what the conference was called for There was no thought in calling the delegates together of ad- 1ustfng that or any other existing strikes The concern of the conference is with conditions in the future look ing to the avoidance of just such in dUstriai clashes. as are underway now.
 Labor in it's withdrawal apparently gave no heed to the appeal of Presi- dent Wilson Though the latter spoke from the standpoint of the conference sd5ourning without action, rather than anticipating the withdrawal of any group or delegates, he declared it to be his idea in calling the confer ence that you would concern your selves with the discovery of those methods by which a n1ea sureabie CO., operation within industry may have been secured and if new machinery needs to be designed by which a min imu1a of conflict between the employ CTS and employees may reasonably be hoped for that we should make an effort to secure it's adoption
 Labor as is to be regretted has dis regarded this appeal It has been in tirnated that it's withdrawal may not be final. It is to be hoped that such is true and that upon second thought IL will be decided to return and do its part in completing the plan for which the conference was called to- gether. though labor hasn't helped it. self by it's action.

A New Germ Foe of Man.

An investigation just completed by Surgeon Edward Francis of the U. S. Public Health Service adds another to the list of disease germs afficting mankind. The germ which bears the name of bacterium tularense. was first isolated by Drs. Mccoy and Chapin, of the U. 8. Public Health Service, as the causative agent in a plague-like disease of rodents. It was not then known that the same germ also infects man.
 Dr. Francis now finds that bacterium tularense is the cause of "deer-hy fever a disease occurring among the rural population of Utah and initiated taccording to popular belief), by fly bite on some exposed surface of the body. The site of the bite and the neighboring lymph glands become ten der and inf1amed. and they common ly sappurate. A fever. like that in ordinary blood poisoning, develops and lasts for 3 to weeks. The patient becomes very sick and is confined to bed. The first case known to have ended fatally was reported in 1919.
 Thus far something like two dozen cases of this disease nave occurred in Willard County, Utah. in each of the years 1917. 1918 and 1919. Whether the disease prevails elsewhere is not yet known, but the announcement of the Public Health Service is expected to direct the attention of physic Ia is to cases of this kind.

4 WILD IDEA,

There are a great many ways in which 1t can be seen how the flying machine is going to be of much value in the future, but 1t cannot fail to be realized that there must be a decided improvement in the way of better ma chimes before any very extensive use is going to be made Of airpIanes in a commercial way
 And yet in spite of the experiences in the recent air races wherein many lives were lost and many ma chimes were put out of business. it is de- cIared from the postof1ce department that if congress will make provision for the transportation of the mail across the continent by such Q method provision can be made to extend the airpost to San Francisco by next spring.
 It is true that the coast to coast flight has been made in about 50 hours actual flying time but one sixth of those who entered the race are dead and tEo-fifths of the machines that were used in the contest were smash ed. This doesn't look as if it has been sufficiently demonstrated that the transcontinental trip was so sue cessfuI from a commercial standpoint that we should rush to inaugurate atrpost service over that distance next spring
 As a matter of fact it is not be- heved that congress. confronted as it IS with the necessity of overcoming needless expenses and waste wherever possible, will listen to the idea of making an appropriation for any such undertaking That body can be relied upon to insist upon more practical demonstration Of the wisdom of at tempting any such experiments. The continent has of course been crossed in the air but there would have been just as good reason for thinking of establishing an airpost service across the Atlantic, since that has been crossed in the air. as there is for ex- tending the airpost to San Francisco because of the outcome of the recent race,

PROFITEERING.

In connection with the sugar short age, charges have been made that the commodity was being hoarded for the purpose of putting it onto the market later at a handsome increase in price. There have been certain Investigations which have led to the locating of foodstuffs which the authorities have proceeded to confiscate but thus far there have been very few instances where sugar was located that was not 1egitimately held.
 Within few days the attorney general has. it is claimed. succeeded in getting the beet sugar operators to agree to market their sugar at ten cents a pound, which should mean that any of that product which may have been held back will be used for the relief of the existing situation.
 4 situation, however, that indicates that l1oarding is being induiged. in is that which has been brought to light in New York where 1o.oo0.0oo pounds were offered for sale at a fraction over IS cents a pound. Unknown to the broker this offer was made to Federal Food Administrator Williams who inn mediately summoned him to his office, but unfortunately the place where the sugar is or where it was to be o], tained from was not located.H The of fer was, however. Of such character that had the monty been produced and the purchaser been other than the food controller there are reasons for be- Iieving that the sugar would have been forthcoming and it is the duty of the authorities to ferret out from what they know of the case and the position in which they have the brek- CTS where the sugar of the profiteers is, especially when it is clsif1ed zsby bakers in New York that they have little difficulty in obtaining sugar if they are willing to pay about double the price fixed by the government

COUNT TERAUchI.

Though Count Terauchi was not holding important office at the time of his death he had nevertheless been conspicuous among the leaders in Ja- ra1 and almost up to the time of his passing. He was among those who guided Japan during enc of it's most important periods. the time when t was broadening out in response to modern civilization. though 1t can hardly be said that he was an advo- cate of or a leader in many of the most important changes.
 Terauchi was from first to last com pleteiy bound up in the development of the Japanese army As the result of his activity in this direction he was selected as the governor of Korea and there his work called forth the greatest attention He brought about decided changes in that province in the way of new institutions, modern roads, better harbors, improved rail- roads and directed reconstruction ef- forts that cannot fail to be of lasting benefit, even though it meant the strengthening of Japan's hold on af- fairs in that region It is not to be supposed that he did what he did in Korea without being charged with be- irfx autocratic and harsh.

 Beds or borders that have been planted to annual flowers during the summer may be cleared now and planted to spring Towering bulbs. Ground should be. well prepared, care should be taken to select bulbs of . good grade and if various coiors are to be plantd together be sure to get varieties that are of the same height

and period of blooming.
 The average depth of planting these bulbs is six inches, depending upon variety and soil. Where soil is in cIined to be wet, little sand should be placed at the base of each bulb tu prevent rotting. Tulips should be planted at an average Of four inches apart and hyacinths sfx to eight in ches, according to size. After plant ing, the bulbs should be carefully COW cred with soil and when the ground freezes hard mulch of stable man ure or leaves should be spread over the entire bed for winter protection.
