Uncle Sam is preparing to ride
rough shod over visionary schemes
that offer Government ownership
and ruthless experiments that may
bring!disaster to the greatest indus
trial interests of the nation. Among
the lessons of the war that must
have been impressed upon all
thoughtful people is the effective
ness of Sane public control and
private initiative and operation,
each performing their part in add
ing to the progress of the country
and the comfort of the people.

Properly Defined

Is tendency on the part Of few
individuals connected with the
manufacture, sale and use OF pas

use of the term pleasure car" when

local dealer in Chevrolet passenger

Nothing could be more unjust
or untruthful than to connect the
ma me pleasure" with as indespens-
able utility as the automobile has
proven to be during the past four
years. especially 1t is not a plea

it has never rightly qualified for

the early days of use, when as an

anything hithertofore used for travel

SO me who chose to make use Of it's
utility purely for pleasureabie pur-
poses. The same is true of railway
coaches and steamships. There are
a certain number who always have
an d always will use them with re.
C creative aims. Yet no one ever re-
fers to even parlor car as plea
sure car or to steamship as a
pleasure boat. Then why label the
automobile with such an appeAation?
IF the automobile in spite of its
utility, was so high priced as to be
within the reach of only a very
limited number then it might right
fully be regarded as a luxury. The
tern pleasure car" might then be
used with some notifications. But
such is not the case. The owner
ship of automobiles is confined to
no special class of people, small
salaried clerks as well as men with
trades own and operate them.

is true of the business man who
has found the automobile an invalu-
able business assistant. actually
saving him much in time, energy
and money.
"A recent investigation into the
use of automobiles in farming dis

passenger automobile is used ninety
percent of the time for utility pur-

Wheat Problem Hard

II is agreed that the nations
guaranty to the wheat raisers must
be carried out in good faith and q
huge appropriation for the purpose
has passed one house of Congress.
The method to be used. however. is
still undecided. 1t is reported that
FARMERS are proceeding with their
plans to SOW spring wheat, nOtwith-
standing the threat of great sur
plus. They have already prepared
the ground and gone to other ex-
pense. But if they could be induc-
ed to substitute oats, rye, barley and
corn, for which there is certain to
be a great demand. an adjustment
of damages might be made which
would prove cheaper to the govern.
ment and also simplify the general
food situation.
There has been much talk of the
world price" of wheat. but the
difficulty of arriving at it is great.
The, New York Annalisr shows that
there is uncertainty as to the de-
mand as we'll as to the available
supply. The American annual per
capita per consumption was So
bushels before the war. But how
many Americans have been con-
verted to substitutes as a result of
war conditions? An average de-
crease of a bushel in consumption
throuehithis cause would add over
100000 bushels to our surplus.
There is even greater uncertainty
as TO the demand from both the
belligerent. and neutral nations of
Europe. About 100000 men
were killed in this war and the f.
nancial distress Of hundreds Of mil
lions of people mas reduce the
average consumption. Ga the other
hand. Figures as to the world sup
ply are undergraduate. There are
rumors of a great Russian wheat
crop, but they will be received with
suspicion. Furthermore. the trans
portation facilities are so poor and
, the attitude of the Bolsheviki on
. exports so uncertain, that a Russian
surplus cannot now be definitely
figured. 1t is suspected that the
widely advertised accumulated
wheat stock of Australia is compos-
ed in part of grain badly Injured by

. Australia and Argentine is a big
, item. Little wheat can be expect
ed from Rumania, Serbia or Bull
, garia., in view of war ravdgeS If
the surplus from all these countries
fromsCanada should be inadequate,
, the United States will have some
say as to the world price" Ger
tainly it would not be wise to as

low and: sell our wheat on a basis
that will take millions from the
treasury. Globe Democrat.

The Victory Loan

berty Loan, because il is to be large
ly used in paying for those things
which brought victory to our arms
so speedily. National War Loan
Director Lewis B. Franklin, says:
mo one was planning on the Ger
mans quitting in 1918. We expect.
ed to deliver the knockout punch in
1919. The stage was set and the
properties were ready The Ger.
mans in the front lines had discover.
ed the unbeatable fighting qualities
of our men, but the German gener-
al staff was moved to ask for peace
for an additional reason.
AS final cure for German vici
business in 1919 we had assembled
ready for the coming campaign
more than ten tons of gas for every
ton the Germans could make; tank
for every seventy-five feet of fight
ing fror t; batteries by the thousands.
where we had but one before; aero
planes in the same proportions, and
millions of grim, determined fight
ing men ready to start for Berlin.
But this cure that had been mixed
with determination in the mortar
of American industry became pre-
vention.
The German general staff knew
more about this cure than the
American officers themselves. The
magnitude of the dose, with the
proved ability of the men who were
to administer it, decided the Ger
man staff that it was quitting time,
and so it quit.
by ending the war 10 November,
1918. instead of 1919, more than
half a million American lives were
saved. The coming Victory Liberty
Loan is to pay for saving these
lives, and the fact that the bill will
be heavy is because the pound OF
cure became pound of prevention
instead of an ounce.
Il do not believe we are going to
be trouble with this loan, when the
people come to understand what il
is for and the pressing necessity for
. it. | do not believe that the Ameri.
can people are going to hold back
and say, The war is over and my

same kind of magnificent response

must let the people of the United

SAFETY OF UNION" At STAKE

The steel strike has thrown 400 200
| men out of work.
The point at issue is the refusal
Of the steel company to recognize the
union in preference TO any other hon.
est American workman.
The fight is on for the closed shop
whereby free man in America must
Join a class organization before he can
work and an employer is denied the
right of hiring a competent workman
who does not belong to such an organ
ization.
This is not fight on union ideas.
il is a fight for the preservation Of
freedom Of the individual in America.
II by superior argument all the
steel workers can be imbued to join
the union, there is no reasonable
grounds for complaint and if the un-
ion and the steel company fail to set
tie grievances. the union members
have the American privilege OF strik-
ing.
But when the union says to the
steel company you must hire none
but members of our union" it is going
to far as it thereby attempts to set
aside the very rights guaranteed by
our constitution to every man, woman
and child in this nation.
Labor organizations have had the
sympathy of the public in their en-
| deavor to better living. working and
wage conditions but these organiza-
tions have become drunk on their own
power until today if their slightest
demands are not granted, they do not
hesitate to jeopardise the very safe

The public has seen the danger in the
threatened railroad strike when ou1
country was at war. it has seen it ir
the shipyard strikes during the wal
and in countless other strikes to en-
force arbitrary demands during the
nations peril. It has seen the menace
growing and has now witnessed th'
workmen in the steel industry rejec'
even the Presidents request that the!
withhold action until after the con
ference called to assemble in Wash
ington early in October to try and es
tablish basis of conciliation for al

The Boston police strike showed
to what lengths these labor dictators
would go ard the public received its
first real test of wha to expect il
such policies go unchecked.
The issue is clean cut in this case.

fore every workman in this nation

Job and his allegiance to that union
would have to come before his allegi-
ance to the Union of the United
States. as has been clearly proved in
the management of the railroad un-
ions, the shipbuilders unions, the at
tempted police union and numerous
Others during and since the war.
One thing is sure. the unions are
ignoring the greatest force in the
world, the force Of public opinion
Menaces of general strikes, indus

do not make US afraid, they make US
angry.

To Test Feeds for
Making Hard Pork

ATLANTA, April, What is the
best and most efficient food for Great
ing hard" pork? That is problem,
and an important one, which it is
proposed to solve through tests which
have just been determined upon
through cooperation between the
Georgia State Bureau of Markets and
the Georgia Experiment Station at Ex-
pertinent
AS the result of a conference be-
tween Director H. p. Stuckey of the
Experiment Station and Director L. B.
Jackon of the State Bureau of Markets
it has been determined to secure 80
pigs weighing from 70 to so pounds
each, divide them in lots of ten, and
feed each lot distinct and separate
ration.
In this way is is possible to make
a careful test of eight different varie-
ties of hog foods, and the results will
be noted both in the aggregate weight
OF the hogs and the quality of the
pork produced.
These hogs will be kept in different
enclosures at the Experiment Station,
so that there will be no possibility of
getting any but a known food and a
known quantity. In this way it can
be determined exactly what a given
ration will do. The results of these
important tests will be given to the
prepared bulletin, as soon as they are
pompleted.

BETTER MONEY
FOR MECHANICS
IN AIR SERVICE

SOUTHER FIELD, April S.-A
mathematician has calculated that the
Air Service of the Army pays more
money to skilled mechanics than can
be earned in civil life. The deduction
is asMfollowsr -
Count the cash that you have left
after .qeducting your necessary eXpen-
ses IN civil trade.
Antautomobile mechanic earns from
$3.50 to $3.50 per day, counting 20
working days per month. Your salary
at $3.50 per day equals $11IOO per
month. His expenses are;
Board and room .............. $35.OO
Clothing (outside) .............. 500
Shoes, hats, underwear, etc.. 300
Doctors and Dentists bills
hospital and medicines 49,. 800
Loss of time due to holidays,
sickness, etc. day per
month NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 800
Loss of time due to lay offs, lack
of employment, vacations,
etc.. days per month. 1850
Total ..............'.'.. .9'o'ot
Deduct this amount from his salary
of $11700 per month and he has left
$43.50
If he is a skilled mechanic and has
confidence enough in his ability to put
his skill to a real test, by enlisting in
the army, he can earn from $4,000 to
$121.50 per month, without a single
cent of expense. Whether he gets the
$4,000 or $121.5O is up to him.
The Air Service of the Army offers
steady employment with short hours
and no LAY offs; Burroughs are grant
ed with full pay and cheap transpor7
tation rates for your trips. When
sick, pay goes on just the same, you
receive free, the best hospital facilities
and medical treatment.

excellent opportunity to men between
