FROM our Bachelor Farmer.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
A year has slipped by. Again this
part of Nebraska is in the throes of
blizzard and the Bachelor Farm
er" of last years fame is tempted to
break the ice. The cause of this re-
newed desire for notoriety is that to
him the subject of Powder and
Paint" has gone stale.
1t has been talked UP and down,
back and forth, exposed to the in
iquitous stare of the male world;
superimposed by women to improve
upon nature in order to appeal to
the esthetic sense, by others to tempt
the basest desires in men. Even our
fair patroness, after she thought the
evidence all in, attempted to render
judgment. But even her decision,
which left the delicate matter to the
discretion Of the individual. failed to
stop the flow. as it seems individuals
disagreed. Her trouble was that she
presupposed all women possessed the
| artistic sense OF color and touch,
when as a matter CT fact, very few
have it. Hence, what one artist can
make q success Of many, many
lwould-bes make a failure. But
now. that the subject has

NOTE.

Many of our readers will re-
member the Bachelor Farmer"
who broke into print last winter.
He is wealthy and a college man.
Ii was his idea to accumulate
enough OF this worlds goods. be-
fore marrying, to be able to care
for his wife and family in COM
fort When he celebrated his 29th
birthday, he took stock of his
holdings. and decided that he was
in position to marry. 1t never
had occurred to him that when
he found himself ready the girl
would not be waiting at the
church. She was not. He knows
many girls, has good pals, but
none whom he cares to marry, or
none who care to marry him.

A NATIONAL WASTE.

During the war there was a move
ment to save garbage. In the year
1918. forty cities that used to dump
or burn garbage, began to dispose of
it for feed to swine. A writer in the
Engineering News Record estimates
that garbage still wasted would yield
annually 100000 pounds of grease
and 10000 tons of fertilizer tankage,
with a remainder enough to produce
100000 pounds of pork,
If this Investigator would visit all the
many communities where there is no
system of garbage collection, he might
have to figure out a much greater
aggregate of waste. Millions of fami-
lies that do not keep hogs must burn
their waste or dump it.
The lavish old ways are not right
in these days. Things are different
from the times when land and food
were so abundant and cheap. 1t was
foolish even then to allow q third of
the value of fruit and root crops to
be thrown away in Feelings and cores
and other waste. But it is idiotic to
allow it in these times.
There ought to be an organized eff
fort all over the country to see that
garbage is Systematically collected
and sold for feeding or reduction pur-
poses. In a rural neighborhool where
practically everyone keeps swine, =
would of course not be necessary. But
wherever there is village where peo-
pie do not have this means of garb-
age disposal, then there Will be seri-
Gus waste unless a system of collection
is established. 1t would usually pay
for itself.
Even in cases where the garbage
couldn't be sold for cost of collection,
the removal of this refuse. which
serves as breeding place for insects,
would pay as health measure.
The French nation would come
pretty near living on the garbage
pals of America, as they were filled
before the war anyway. Saving waste
is just as essential to prosperity as
increasing products.

MADoO AND TAFT DISAGREE.

William C. McAdoo made brief
address here yesterday in defense OF
the league of nations and its proposed
constitution. While Mr.. McAdoo is a
very able man, he evidently has been
too busy with his new position as
counsel for the newly organized NOV
ing picture venture to give very close
thought to the league of nations prop
osition.
He said the proposed constitution
would in no way invalidate the Mon
roe doctrine. William Howard Taft
holds a contrary view, and advocates
ahrogation of the Monroe doctrine on
the ground that it has outlived its use
fitness.
Mr.. McAdoo wants the Monroe doc
trine preserved. Mr.. Taft doesn't
Mr. McAdoo thinks the proposed con-
stitution strengthens the Monroe doc
trine. Mr.. Taft thinks it destroys the
Monroe doctrine.
In view of these conflicting claims
by Two of the ablest men in America,
would it not be wise for the peace
conference to write into the proposed
constitution a clear statement of its
purpose regarding the Monroe doc
trine?
other very important points relat-
ing to fundamentals in the policies
and interests of this nation are equal
Iy vague Should they not be cleared
up in the instrument itself?
Let us know what the proposed con-
stitution actually means, and then we
may be able to make up our
minds as to whether we want it or
not. We do not want just any old
thing which might masquerade under
the name, League of Nations There

WAR SPIRIT IN COMMUNITY
WORK.

While the war was on you kept
hearing people say. Il feel ashamed
that l am doing so little to help.
wish l could do more. Is there any
thing l can do?" And all these mil
lions of people who thus wanted to
help, generally found something they
could do. 1t might or might not have
been something big, but at least il
helped create the great aggregate OF
force.
Now if this sentiment of wishing
to do ones share. of desiring to help
public causes in all possible ways, can
only continue as permanent force,
things will happen that were never
dreamed of before as possible. There
is a greater future possible. for every
individual and every community. Here
in Albuquerque there are plenty of
ends that could be realized. that have
heretofore been considered Impossible.
The ends of community progress do
not seem as sensational and thrilling
as winning a war. But in the long
run they are Just as necessary Here
are a few of these ideals which every
American town should have directly
in view as things to work for:
/. Better education, and longer
periods of schooling for all children
We are accomplishing that now.
2. Education that shall hep chill
dren without aptitude for books, to
do more efficient work with their
hands. largely in the mechanical en-
and agriculture.
8. Neat, clearly towns. with all
disorder and eyesores removed
4. Beautified towns. with abund-
ance of shade and srubbery and flow
ers and open public spaces.
5. Better road systems in the sur
rounding country to cut down the
cost of transportation of commodities.
These five ideals are merely sug-
gested as a starter. There are many
others. All of these and others are
possible everywhere, If people only
carry the war spirit into community
work.

THE VICTORY LOAN.

Soon we are to have the final loan
campaign, and it must be success.
The Liberty loans have been far
more than mere borrowings from the
people. That have been triumphant
tests of patriotism involving great
self-sacrifice. Liberty bonds are good
investments. and those who buy them
are saving their money and getting
good interest on it.
But many have subscribed far more
than they could pay for out of their
income without the most rigid econo-
my. Others have gone IN debt to
lend their credit to the government
These sacrifices have been potent
in the formation of habit of thrift.
Subscribers to the loans have been
astonished to find how many things
they could do without and how much
money they save when pledged to do
so. ..... .,.... q.
These habits of thrift should be
encouraged. There should be oppor-
tunity in treasury loans. after the
next one is raised. for the small inves-
tor who has learned how to save.
Government bonds should continue
to be sold over the counter. They
should become a standard form of in
vestment for Americans as they have
become for Britishers and French.
men.

AN EXTRA SESSION NEEDED.

The word from Paris is that the
peace treaty will be ready for sub
mission to the United States senate
in about ten days. and that the presi-
dent will call an extra session of the
senate Immediately thereafter.
The constitution provides that trea-
ties shall be made with the advice
and consent of the senate" vote of
two-thirds of the members of the
senate being required to ratify any
treaty.
Probably it is not generally known
that treaty has all of the power of
an act of the constitution itself. The
federal constitution says:
This federal constition and the
laws of the United States which shall
be made in pursuance thereof; and
all TREATIES made or which shall
be made, under the authority of the
United States, shall be the supreme
law of the land; and the judges in
every state shall be bound thereby,
anything in the constitution or laws
of any state to the contrary notwith-
standing"
Thus the covenants entered into by
the United States are equally binding
with the constitution itself.
Congress should be called in extra
session at the earliest moment posi-
BILE. 1t should be in session now, and
would he were it a democratic con-
gress.
When congress adjourned it left
appropriations to the amount of four
billion dollars Enacted upon, and it is
not alone the need of money to keep
the government going that calls for
an immediate extra session.
AS has been pointed out by the sec
rotary of labor the employment prob
lem is a pressing one. The evil is no
doubt temporary one, incident to re-
adjustment. But that does not abate
the urgent need for measures to allie
vfate it-measures that can come
from no other source than congress.
The homecoming soldier should
not be subjected to the anxieties and
hardships of a long jobless interval.
He is entitled by every consideration
of gratitude and appreciation to the
best of opportunities on re-entering
civil life.
Nor is 1t merely matter Of appre-
citation. The bringing together of the
soldier and the job will be a powerful

factor in restoring normal conditions
among us. The problem is an econo-
mic one of direct bearing on readjust-
ment.
1t would not take the new congress
long to dispose of these pressing prob
lens. But the new congress is not to
be permitted to tackle these problems
until the president is good and ready.
