The Republican leaders in the Senate
are ANXIOUS to make separate peace with
Germany, outside of the terms of the
Treaty Of Peace reached by the Congress
of Versailles. Thus they hope to please
Germany and all the German sympa-
thizers in our country, and gain the sup
tort of the latter at next years election.
Well, they are absolutely sure of that
support. no matter what may happen.

DEMAND FOR FARM MANAGERS.

1t seems that in addition to great shortage
Of labor the farms of the nation are also seek
ing business managers to extent not gener-
ally known. The vocational education board
which is In charge of the retraining Of dis
abled soldiers made as preliminary to its plan
of work a survey of the industrial openings for
which the men they trained might be eligible.
In this survey it was found that some one hun
dred thousand Of our eight million and more
farms employ managers whose functions are
quite distinct from those Of the work manage
ment. In the west owners Of large farms and CO.
operative farm associations have found it high
ly profitable to employ business manager
whose duties are largely concerned with pur-
chasing supplies and marketing products. The
actual working Of the farms is left to expert
land workers; the business which must be trans
acted off the land is handled by business ex-
perts.
The success of this method of administration
has been SO pronounced that In the western
states the vocational education board says it
can place some hundreds Of business trained
men who have knowledge of farm work as well
as business training and that the advertising
of this department of teaching is bringing more
inquiries every day. This is an interesting
evidence that the business administration of
farming is coming to be appreciated as need
and provision is being made for it.

EARN Help.

Monticello Express: The farmers OF
Iowa are up against It in securing
enough help to adequately run their
farms. during the summer season. we
know of one farmer who offered to
nav a hand $75 a month. On top of
this the farmer agreed TO throw in
separate house and two acres OF land
for the use of. the hired hand and
family. furnish him a horse and
buggy, give him his firewood for the
winter months and give him every
other Sunday off. Such a proposition
sounds like a gentleman's Job, but up
to the present time this position has
been passed UP. The reasons for such
a condition are the slow discharge OK
the soldiers from the army and the
unusually high wages offered by
manufacturers to skilled labor. A
few of the farmer boys from Jones
county have been discharged from the
army but not in sufficient numbers
to put crop production back on its
normal plane again. On the other
hand, so long as wages paid by manu-
facturers for skilled labor are so out
of proportion to the wage the far
mer can afford to pay, the drift to the
town Is certain to continue. The
profits made upon the farm do not

about that. 1t is not convinced that
that is the solution OF the riddle.
The Journal has known some I'M

who were close followers Of the pre-
yailing fashions, even to the extreme

THOUGHTS AND THINGS.

Addressing the French Academy OF Moral
and Political Sciences, President Wilson re-
marked that he had not in his public capacity
uttered his own thoughts but had uttered
s.what he knew to be the thoughts of the great
people he represented, the things that had been
stored up in their purpose and hearts. This
was phrased with that felicity for which the
president is so Justly famed; and in no spirit OF
captious criticism the question may be asked
how he has been able to discover the thoughts
of the people and the things stored in their
hearts! 1t is really quite bewildering to citl-
zens who find in the press SO little of the senti-
mer- the president tells Us that his utter
ances reflect. Aside from the press the only
known authoritative expressions OF public senti-
lnent III America were the last election and the
senatorial Indignation at the presidents course.
Yet he does not appear to have got from these
the stored up things and the thoughts which
are the peoples and not his own. 1t is possible
that there is a certain confusion in his mind be-
tween the thoughts the people would have him
utter and his own thoughts which he would
have them approve.

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle
The best thing to use is Just plain null
sifed cocoanut oil, for it is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about tcaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
ough1y, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle Of dust, dirt and
dandrrf.

GOVERNMENT CLERKS.

One bulletin from Washington tells Of the
dismissal of one thousand or more clerks from
government employ during the month of April
another bulletin in which statistics are set down
shows that during that same month more than
fifteen hundred new clerks were added to the
government payroll It IS therefore shift up
ward instead Of retrenchnent in clerical ex-
pense that is going on. Possibly the return of
the soldier clercals is in part responsible for
the shift; men may be getting their former
places back. But what is responsible for the
increase in number7 During the war Git was
the war that made the vast bureau work neces-
sary) this increase was accepted readily enough
by the people. But now it is peace needs that

ing employment, it may thus be accounted for.
But useless clerk is a weight for usefuly en-
ployed people to carry. There is a vest amount
of work the land that must be done within
q few weeks or the lack of it will cost the whole
nation dearly in the future. We want all the
