Getting the Boys Home.

According to. the recent statement Of
Gen. March, chief of the u. S. Army
staff, the rate of demobilization of SOL
diers. now in this country has been
10000 week. It is expected that the
Rehabilitation of practically all the
forces in this country will be completed
by April /.
Reports from the environments indi-
cate that the life and spirit of the army
has pretty we'll oozed out. The boys
were full of energy and ambition when
there was a great patriotic task to be
achieved. But now that the task is ac-
complished, the boys long only to get
home and resume their ordinary Occu-
patiOns. saA
Disqualification has probably been
delayed so as not to throw the men kon
their own resources too suddenly But
the preference of the men would have
been to go home at once. They would
gladly take their chances on getting
something to do. And they can't make
progress toward securing jobs while
tied up in environments long distance
from home.
In so far as the delay is due to army
red tape, the methods of demobiliZatio
should be speeded up.
IF the United States Steel Corpora
ton found great force Of employees
suddenly out of job, if it had no fur
Their use for them, and If the men them
selves wished to be released, the com
pany would find some method for let
ting them 60 in shorter time thank 20
weeks. The methods of the alhny
should be modelled on the swift eff
cheney Of business system. The tim8 Of
the, men at the camps is not being Disc
/ fully employed now. The same thing
applies even more forcibly to the sol
diers in France, except the fractioit of
the army needed for the present in Ger
many

The old family doctor hasn't chance !;
nobody but a Nquack can prescribe now
a-days. But sensible people learned
long ago that there is no health in the
patent-medicine bottle; no way to "a
sound body except through sane living,
simple exercise and hard work. Throw
the bottle out of the window-it won't
hurt if you throw out a few of the
quacks with them-and let's all go back
to work.
Meanwhile, young Professor This and
Doctor That should not be allowed to
offer, as safe and pleasant tonics, COM
pounds that create a depraved appetite
in credulous takers. And one can al
ways know that the habit for the stuff
has been formed when the patient be-
gins to babble about ''the revolution"
The final end and aim Of every revo-
lution--the only lasting result that can
be gained from one-is the ballot. If
Americans have not the simple common
sense to use it wisely and to elect hon
est leaders who will pass honest laws
not for any one class but for all classes
how can they possibly expect any
thing good to come from self-elected
leaders who selfishly seize power for
themselves and small group of follow
ers? g
The answer is that the men who adj
vocate the sort of practical Bolshevism
that is at work in Russia today, and
they are almost all unnaturalized for
eigners, do not want honest leaders or
honest laws-they want "a chance to
loot. Anything except miracles that
the majority really wishes for in this
country it can have at the next election.
But let no one imagine that the old,
simple, fundamental laws Of life and
health can be repealed, even at the
polls. s.sYt

The Business Outlook.

Ever since peace was fOreshadOwed
last fall, financial and business author:
titles have been trying to forecast the
business future. They have issued the
more diverse and contradictory pro-
phecies. One man sees a bright future
Immediately ahead. Another issues
dark predictions of disaster. Which is
the common sense view, and upon what
foundations may the business man, the
farmer and the worker, plan out their
activities and undertakings 81.
Careful thinkers and students Of
economic conditions look back to the
past when they wish to estimate the
trend Of future events. History repeats
itself. Most Of the experts who have
deliberated over these questions give
much thought and weight to the course
Of business in the country during the
years Immediately following the Civil
War.
So they are recalling the fact that for
half a dozen years following the Civil
War, there was d period of apparent
prosperity. The currency was inflated,
money was abundant, people spent free
". This gave business men the courage
to go ahead and produce goods in large
volume.
This seeming prosperity all the
more remarkable, when you consider
the condition of prostration that seem
ed to exist when the war closed. The
wealth of the great Southern section,
nearly half of the country at that time,
was practically wiped out. Both North
and South were undeveloped, there was
hardly any banking or railroad system,
there was no surplus of investment
capital.
The whole country was burdened
with great debt and war taxes. Yet
in spite Of all these apparently crush
ing handicaps, business jumped into a
state of activity, and held it for six
years. It is not surprising that many
people believe that repetition of the
same buoyant conditions is to be mani
tested in this country during the next
few years.

/ The various farm papers have taken

ability of Northern Minnesota and the
Red River Valley to the successful and
profitable production of livestock it is
because he was not present at the live
stock show and sale of pure bred stock
held at CroOkstOn, February 10 to 10
Public spirited men for some time have
been quietly setting an example and
demonstrating the advantages Of live
stock production on farms of their own
and making good profit from their en-
terprise They have, in modest way,
been bringing before the public the re-
suits of their efforts. However, not
until the recent farmers week program
at Crookston have they ever been given
the hearing they deserved.
4 The farm crops show brought out
samples of home grown seeds of every
kind of a crop necessary in the feeding
of farm animals.
Ove1sathree hundred head of home
grown animals were shown, Of such
excellence as would do credit to any
locality. The attendance overtaxed
alike the exhibition buildings and the
town, The discriminating Judgment
shown by the farmers in the purchasing
of the one hundred pure blood animals
sold at auction gave proof, not only OF
a desire for. pure blood animals, but of
the determination to have only the best
of pure bloods. Enthusiasm was mani
fest alikei.in beef cattle, dairy cattle

because horses were not included in the
show and sale.

A PLAGUE OF PANACEAS.

A new craze is sweeping over hhe
country as silly, as pestilential, as the
dancing madness that seized the world
just before the war. Everybody wants

Our mails are choked with passionate
letters our wastebaskets are overfbWs
Ing with thoughtful pamphlets all:
touting new panaceas.
i Everything, from pap to dynamite, is
being recommended for what ails the

Gated. Some favor chlorof Morning him

working In shifts turning out their cele-
brated Socialist Soothing sirup, guar

the black curse Of that bourgeois home

living shaking up bright young thoughts
in bright young papers are Offering
their snappy-tasting Bolshevik Sarsa-

Burton Gives Wise Counsel.

'"rhere is as much danger to America
from the ultra conservatives as from
the ultra-radicals," declared DR.. Marion
L. Burton, president of the University
of Minnesota, at the Victory session of
the Minnesota Editorial association.
'''We can't solve the problems of social
unrest by hurting epithets. We must
face conditions with an open mind and
discover what these crazy people are
talking about. We must find out what
is wrong" he asserted.
eve must realize that things are not
true because they are old, nor false be-
cause they are new. 1t is our problem
to find out what the truth really is.
"But while Americans must have an
open mind and absorb new ideas as
never before, we must not tolerate
methods that looks to the destruction
of our institutions. There must be a
line of decency and order and respect
"Aherica is going. to develop a gen
Grafton that will be more concerned
with the life of the community than
with personal gain. The new American
must be shot through with the con-
sciousness that he is only part Of the
great human family. 81.

POWERS READ OWN OBITUARY NOTICE
Wife Won't Have to Refund Overpay, as Husband is
 Officially Alive.

At F Highland St. Roxbury, the
 home of Private Morris c. Powers of Go. K, 101st Infantry, there is re-
 joiCing because a grave dispute with
 the United States Government has been settled.
 The Government insisted that Pri- vate Powers was dead-had been
 killed in battle somewhere in
 France" Mrs. Powers insisted her
 husband was not dead. She had re ceived letters from him dated weeks
 and months after the Government
 had pronounced him dead.
 But the Government cared naught
 for the letters she produced. Private
 Powers had been officially declared
 dead and that settled 1t. And what
 was more. Mrs. Powers owed the Government S54 overpay which had been sent her, covering the periOd
 from the date of his reported death, ] to some other day farther along in the calendar. The Government bookkeepers, not anticipating the death of Private Powers. had paid
 Mrs. Powers her allotment in ad- vance It appears the death Ot Pri- vate Powers was not reported to the 1 booklseepers for a month or more af- i ter his official demise.
 I i ant to give up the S54 in view of the | fact that she was satisfied her hus- | band was alive. had been gassed and 1 was fighting with his regiment in the 1 Argonne, as he had at Chateau i Thierry.
 i She had sent her husband some clippings published in Boston news | papers giving an account of his death and telling what a fine fellow he had been. The other doughboys lidded him q good deal about his beautiful ! "obits."
 But. Private Powers came back with his regiment a few days ago, has been recognized officially by the Government and pronounced alive The claim against Mrs. Powers for S5A has been cancelled, and the red tape started to get insurance money to the widow has also been cut or | co nceIled. Asked how he thought the mistake was made Private Pow CTS said:
 ''I guess somebody bumped off un- ! der my name"
