Clearbrook, Dec. 19.-What mas
hecome Of the prune feasters here,
who had the brass to predict the END
of the world in a maze of frost from
80 to 800 degrees below zero from
the 18th to the 18th OF December
Prof. James Spencer, an astronomer
from Butte, Mont, while IN mime
apolis the other day, said this about
the prediction given out by one Por-
tia of California. while not at
tempting to argue the matter, Mr..
Spencer indicated that his personal
opinion is that the professor has
been feasting on prunes. 1t is true
that the planets will be grouped on
one side of the earth in December,
but so they were in May, and the
worst that happened was shortage
of sugar. Our observations in Butte
confirmed by the government oDser-
vatories, led us to suspect that this
good old world Of ours will continue
to do business at the, same old stand
for a long time to come

Christmas Dinner
Campaign On

keep the pot a-boiling. Christmas
dinners for 1000'' are the words on
the Salvation Army placard that
greet the passer-by on Water street
The placard is fastened to a tripod
beneath which is swinging a kettle
to hold the contributions Of thoss
who wish to help carry on the good
work Of the local corps at Christmas
time.
All over the United States from
now until Christmas may be seen
the great army Of Salvation workers
each with the appealing placard in
one form or another, asking the peo-
pie to aid in supplying Christmas
dinners for their needy brethren. A
blizzard may blow but the faithful
Salvation Army sentinel sticks to his
post. the numbing cold may chill him
through but he cheerfully holds his
place and through out a driving
storm with the wind swirling around
his feet he never leaves until some.
one takes his place. Surely with
their unselfish example before him.
the man must be flinty-hearted in
deed who does not contribute his

SECRETARY LANE TELLS HIS
PLAN


Franklin X. E-ne in Re-iow a. Re
views.
While we are Viewlng with appre-
citation those things which we did dur
ing the war, it is proper now that we
should give ourselves concern as to
those things in which we found our
selves delinquent Our roads were
poor; they broke to pieces under the
strain of heavy motor traffic. Our
rivers We're eloGged; they had been
abandoned for so many years that
there were no boats available to re-
lieve the traffic of congested rail
roads. Why not now make good
roads and clear rivers? Falling water
we had which could be converted into
power, but capital had feared to de-
Velop these hydroelectric opportuni-
ties because of short sighted laws.
We became alarmed IN the midst of
the war lest our oil supply should fall
short, and gasless Sundays resulted.
Yet We have 100000 acres of un-
explored oil lands withdrawn from
public entry. Why not release these
opportunities? The world was crying
aloud for bread. and we suddenly
realized that the farm population of
the United states was gradually de-
Ginning IN proportion to the city pop
ulation; that now less than SO per
cent of our people are on the land.
All these things point toward work
that should be done. The difficulty
now is that private capital is trying
to find into what safe channels it can
be led, while public credit is en-
barrassed by the large war calls that
have been made upon II. Once CON
fidence has come back we shall carry
on, and this is the time that tests the
thoroughbred.
Ny suggestion as to the solution of
our immediate problem is a plan for
putting soldiers upon farms. THIS I.
as an expression of graft
tude TO the soldier, as a means of re-
claiming great bodies of our unused
lands and as an opportunity to dem
onstrate that farm life can be made
not only profitable but enjoyable by

The power of waging war, the pow

years before the European conflict;
