achievement and of the stability of her institutions that we have for the l most part overlooked the volcano on which these institutions rest. The truth that no country in the world contains conditions more accurately pointing to disastrous outcome than Argentina. She has for, a generation invited settlers to come and occupy her land, but any land on which a man could make a living has been pre- empted from occupation since colonial days. Here rules the system of great estates put down to wheat or alfalfa by the alf-itinerant, us- ually Italian, formers. The curse of the country is class of parasitic landlords, who have reaped a golden harvest from the land values that rose with the railroad development Of the country. These unearned in- comes have focused in Buenos Aires and because there is practically no
 industry in the country, investment has gone extensively into city land or in an orgy of speculation. The result is that rents in Buenos Aires are appalling, none but the wealthy being able to live in ordinary homes and the poor being condemned to the most sordid housing conditions in the world.
 Add to this the high cost, at all times. of the ordinary commodities of life. Argentina is producer of wheat and beef; for these she re- ceives manufactured articles. Prac- tically nothing is made inside the country. The national revenue is de rived from tho tariff system. Buenos

On the contrary the workers will perceive clearly that they are being thrown against one another only in order that their chains may be riveted and the domi- nation of their masters consolidated.
 Le Populaire, the organ of the ma jorlty Socialists reflects as follows on the prevalent policy toward Germany:
 The French press is divided be- tween it's hatred of kaiserism and it's animosity to Socialism. Between @ Eaiserism which would destroy all liberties, and asocialism which would rum all privileges, their choice is made in advance. They are discov- ing latent sympathies with the de- posed monarchs who, after all, main tained certain social order-or dis order, and there are too many points or resemblance between German ab- solstism and tho Tsarism which our greater journals have not without pIi fit-extolled. for them to deny to the former all the respect they gave to the latter. How keep the Austrian and German revolutions within the boundary which divides caricature of demccracy-Such as ours-from real democracy?

London Doctors Eager to Examine

OF course you have heard of Datas,

tors have placed a price of $4,000?
"But I am not anxious to sell it yet

dash after dashing widows, to expect
a man with a horse laugh to have
horse sense, to plant congressional
garden seeds, to call chance acquaint-
ances Brother to buy nonessentials
on the installment plan, and so forth.
The conscience can be reduced or Grad
Icated by moral suasion. The appen-
dix is removable by an operation. But
the only %eficacious method of getting

to seat himself and carefully and

: BUILDING in

There are at present three phases
Of Denmark's building difficulties
land, materials and money. The land
question can probably be settled and al
SO that of materials, but a general ar
rangement Of the financial question
must first be made. The cost of build
ing has increased from $40 crowns per
square meter ($7.72 per square foot)
to 100 crowns per square meter
($17.93 per square foot). This is dis
c%ouraging private initiative and cor
p6rations are now conducting one-third
of the building enterprises in Copen-
hagen and the. provincial cities. To
help these building corporations dur
ing the war, the government voted
S1.0OO,O00. This was not sufficient,
and by d law passed February 5. 1918,
provision was made to finance these
corporations and compensate them for
| some of the extra expenses of building.
All in all the state and municipalities
substitute the building corporations to
the extent of 60 per cent Of the in
creased costs. which are 100 per cent,
so that the houses cost the corpora
ton 40 per cent more than before.

disease which causes severe deprecia

The presence Of a few scabby potatoes

in many cases careful grading will pre-
vent scabby potatoes as well as those
affected with wire-worm, white-grub,
nematode, and f~lea-beetle injury from

Other Troubles Cause Rejection.
Other field troubles, less apparent at
the time of digging than these, often
play a role in the rejection of ship
ments. Among them are brown rot Of
southern potatoes, and the group Of
rots associated with fusarium wilt.
During the winter the heaviest losses
are due to rots which start in wounds
inflicted in digging, loading and haul
ing. These rots, known as fusarium
tuber rots, are caused by fungi which
live In the soil, and can attack tubers
in any sort Of break in the skin,
whether caused by bruising, fork In
jury, jamming, freezing, or disease
such as late blight tuber rot. These
rots progress rapidly in storage ant
transit, and cause enormous losses.
Freezing due to improper loading OF
heating of cars is also very common
In warm weather, the greatest losse:
are due to Shiny soft rot, which is
caused by certain bacteria attacking
potato tissue which has been killed b!
bruising, water-logging of the soil
scalding, freezing, or other causes.

aER FIRST COFFEE CAKES
Hifey Didn't Know Much About Cook

Please Hubby.

The little bride was having her first
adventures in the culinary line and it
was hard. as she had never been

husband remarked one day how fond

After his departure for the office,

much butter. sugar, etc. She decided
on a surprise for hubby at dinner that
night. The recipe, like many others,
was no definite; it left something for
older. wiser heads to know-for in
stance, that the yeast germ is killed

to cool before adding the yeast.
Therefore she mixed the ingredients
all at once. Throughout the day she
watched it. Each time she looked a

not risen any that she could see and
would not be ready for the evening

young husband of her good intentions.
He was vitality interested and suggest
ed to wiley baking it later, and
having it with the morning coffee. A
neighbor, taken into consultation,
thought perhaps it had been chilled,
and suggested placing the bowl in hot
water, which was done.
Together, the young couple watched
it, but the stubborn disposition was
still with it. At twelve O'Clock the
