NO TIME FOR STRIKES.
Davenport Democrat.

In times Of quiet and prosperity.
when neither the government nor the
employer was embarrassed by the diff
cult problems OF the reconstruction
period. the strike was a wasteful wea-
pom. Even when successful 1t meant
temporary loss of wages. was heavy
blow to production, and to that extent
meant scarcity and increased prices in
the lines affected, so that what was
one mans gain was another mans loss.
When the strike was unsuccessful OF
course there was no gain for anyone.
Leaving it to debate, as to whether
in normal times the strike is a useful
and efficient weapon for labor to en-
ploy. there certainly can be no debate
of the proposition that the present is
a most ill-advised time for its use.
The country is in the midst of a
difficult reimbursement from war work
to the tasks of peace. II is essential
that as soon as possible the wheels or
industry are set whirlng. To this end
the establishment OF public confidence
is necessary If trouble looms in the
future people curtail their buying, the
merchant holds off his program-and
the labor sit uation grows worse. II
would be grotesque to argue, that
strikes would improve the situation.
Evidently such strikes as are COM
mencinC in this country, like those that
have appeared in England and other
countries. originate not with men who
have the true interests of la Dor at heart
but with those who are seeking to I'M
settle conditions all over the world end
20 set up here what they have set up
in Russia. America should resolve that
this movement is not tn spread. but
rather that We shall proceed to build
up public confidence and get back TO
the normal ways of peace which are

Beware Of Prize Seed Corn

Farmers who do not have a supply of seed corn should not pay a big price for prize corn, since it is usually brought in from a distance and is not well adapted to local conditions
 Wherever possible, buy seed of varieties that have made good in your locality and be sure to test it. If you have seed corn on hand, pack in tight boxes to pro- tect from rats and if necessary fumigate with cal bon bisulphide to kill weevil.

Not A White Feather

We have in mind a story com ing out of Washington of fist cuff between two young lieuten- ants. one of whom had served overseas while the other had seen service only in this country. It is related that the overseas off cer, with gold stripe on his sleeve, was walking along one Of the capital streets, accompanied by a young lady, when the off cer with white stripe on his sleeve, recording six months service in this country was met
 The young lady inquired of her overseas companion the meaning of the white stripe and this off cer in voice loud enough to be heard by the other, replied: "Oh, that's the white feather.n
 According to the chronicler there was quick display of fists and the young fellow who had not been across the water won an easy decision by the knockout route. There were apologies to the young lady and the matter ended
 But the incident is typical of a sentiment that has sprung up in some quarters to regard the boys in the service of Uncle Sam who did not get across as being in the nature of slackerS if not COW ards. It is the rankest injustice to disparage the efforts of these boys and to condemn them for something over which they had absolutely no control. Most of them would rather have been on the battlefield where glory await ed their efforts than to have been engaged in hard and thankless toll at some camp in this country
 Our tributes to those heroic boys who fought and bled and died to save civilization need not suffer the least diminution by of fering need of praise to the luckless fellows who were all aglow to get across, but who had to wait on orders of their govern ment. We know of boys who volunteered at the very begin ming of the war, anxious to get to the field of battle as soon as possible, but whose ambitions were never gratified.
 Itis not only manifestly un- American, it is grossly unfair tc regard these white stripes as anything less than badges oI honor. Least of all are they the symbols of a white feather Com mmercial Appeal.

 Make a tour of the house. Make out list of the things you do not want. Mark down the very lowest cash price you will take for the things. Add up the figures and the total will sur prise you.
 Now to turn these useless things into money for yourself: Fix up a little ad something like this:
