Germany has received another note
this time not in the form of love
letter. The allies have informed the
so-called government" that sinking
of the fleet at Scapa Flow is not only
violation of the armistice but must
be construed as deliberate breach
in advance of subscribing to the con-
ditions Of peace. Hence the depreda-
tors will be brought to trial and pay
ment exacted for the property loss.
This should, Of course, be done, but
at the same time, it must be admitted,
the allies were foolish in manning the
vessels with German crews.

The treasury department is again
in need of money-at least $2,0OO,OO0,-
00O-and an intensive campaign to
raise this amount, through the medium
of war savings and thrift stamp
sales, by January 1, 1920, has been
announced. The quota for the ninth
federal reserve district is $25,OO0,O0O
and the people will doubtless sub
scribe for the full amount or more. It
is a good investment, all right, but
nevertheless, the administration has
been particularly extravagant during
the past few years.

Daily papers tell us that now the
peace terms have been signed by
Germany the war is over. This is
misleading from the fact that "a
conflicts are still in progress in Eu-
rope. They may prove to be ''tem-
pests in teapots," but some of them
appear to be gathering momentum,
and it is impossible to say how they
will eliminate. The wars of Napo-
leon started with mere tempest
in a teapot" but spread so rapidly
that the indomitable "Little Corporal
was on a fair way to obtain his ambi-
ton of conquering the world when
ultimately subdued.

Some Widow.

Mrs. Cordie McClesky, widow, on
whose meagre farm the first oil we'll
was discovered, is the richest woman
in Texas. The widow now has S8,000,-
900, and it is piling up. Wealth has
not changed her in the slightest. She
loves work and will not tolerate idle
ness about her. Her husband con-
tinued to work for $3.50 day after
oil had made him millionaire. The
widow rises with the sun, cares for
her grandchildren, looks after the
chickens and helps the neighbors. -

Harvey's Weekly: Why should the
government purchase at a high price
the sites of camps and environments
which it no longer needs and is not
likely again to need? It is said that
if it does not the owners Of the land
will be put to some loss through the
disturbances which they have suffered.
If they can prove loss they should be

bursed. It will be better to indemnify
them than to buy at high prices land
that we do not want, to sell it soon
again at low prices.

st. Paul Dispatch: Several usually
wise newspapers are advocating vol
untary daylight saving to succeed the
official program knocked out by con-
gress. It is an iridescent dream. One
man cannot work with his clock set
forward an hour unless his neighbor
follows suit. The employer cannot
work on one schedule and his employe
on another. Uniformity is of the es-
sence of the whole plan.

1t is stated on Paris authority that
the steamship Leviathan, which has
been bringing across 10000 soldiers
on each trip, will now be used for
the transportation of officers, of whom
it can accommodate less than 1900.
Which goes to show that, while the
doughboys are herded like cattle on
board, the officers are treated like
princes. Why this discrimination?

It has been suggested that President
Wilson be made sultan of Turkey and
carry the keys to the gates of Con-

city. This would be a difficult office
to fill, however. But, as the president

he would probably find no difficulty
in performing the requirements of his
sultanship satisfactory to all con-
cerned.

According to a Paris dispatch the
former crown prince of Germany has
ESCAPED" from Holland and found his
way back to the fatherland. "Es-
capped" evidently means that he was
aided and abetted by Queen Wilhel-
mina's officials. Unless the allies
hasten the arrest of the ex-kaiser he,
too, is very likely to cross the border
and go into hiding in his beloved
Germany.

Never was It so important for farm
ers to keep their hogs safe from their
worst enemy-cholera-as 1t Is this
year. say specialists of the bureau Of
animal industry of the United States
department Of agriculture. While the
number Of hogs lost through disease
decreased from 4.6 per cent Of the to-
tai in 1917 to 81 per cent In 1918. the
value Of the hogs actually increased.
A 200-pound hog that was worth $50
in January. 1917. was worth $50 In
January. 1918. Today a similar hog
would sell at $42. In 1918. the year
the work to control hog cholera was
begun by the government, 200.
FOUNDER was worth $1660. So It IL
evident that each succeeding year
makes It more worth the farmers
while to take every precaution to pre-
vent loss from disease In his swine
herd.
One thing that made It possible for
America to supply the allies with
meat was the fact that within the
last few years the state and federal
authorities and those working with
them have learned q good deal about
handling hog cholera. II the old bug

Enormous Losses From Cholera.
In the fiscal year ending March 81,
1914, over 100000 hogs of all ages
were lost through disease ON Ameri-
can farms. These had q value Of over
$87. 100000. In the year ending March
81. 1918. only 2.7O1. 1876 were lost; but
these were worth $62,6S5,315. So,
though the number Of hogs lost has
been greatly decreased by the work Of
the dlsease-control agencies. the none
tary loss IL still enormous.
This loss has direct bearing on
the cost Of living and at times has
threatened the safety Of a great in
dustry. There are at present over TO-
100000 hogs in this countryside
largest number ever recorded. Assum-
ing that these animals will be mar
keted at an average weight Of 200
pounds at the average market price
for the year, this crop will return to
the producers about 5000. 100000. II
hog cholera should rage as It did In
1913. the loss would be near $780,
100000.
Complete Eradication Probable.
Without the efforts Of federal and
state agents In the proper application
Of serum and improved methods Of
handling outbreaks Of hog cholera. this
loss would be entirely probable. With
the support and cooperation Of the
local authorities. farmers and others,
