VICTORY LOAN.

The editor is in receipt of the fol-
lowing communication:
Dear Sir-The undersigned has
just returned from Kansas City,
where, during the last week, con-
ference was held with the officials
Of the Federal Reserve bank and rep
resentatives Of the U. s. Treasury
department Of Warrington, together
with the chairman of the District
Liberty Loan organizations thruout
the Tenth Federal Reserve District.
The object of this conference was
10 discuss ways and means of>doat-
ing the next government loan, which
will probably be called the Victory
loan, and which is expected to be the
last popular loan called for by the
government. This loan will be
floated sometime during the coming
April and the amount and the quotas
will probably be the same ~ the
Fourth Liberty loan.
Following the foation Of this loan,
the Liberty Loan organization will
be disbanded and each member will
receive the thanks of the government
for the faithful and voluntary serv.
ice no efficiently performed.
The terms Of this loan will very
likely be little more liberal as ia
interest and terms of payment than
either Of those that have been here
toforc offered.
I trust that l may still look to you
for your efiicien. help h raising oui
quota Of this loan, the particulars OF
which will be given in due time.

BILLION DOLLARS WASTED
YEARLY IN HANDLING CORN

1.-THE greatest waste in any single
industry in this country is made with
the corn CROP, says Prof. H. M.
Cottrell in Colorado Agricultural
College News Notes. "The grain Of
the annual corn crop of the United
States is worth on the farm one and
a half billion dollars. In ripe corn
plant, 60 per cent Of the feed value
is contained in the kernels and 40
per cent in the stalk and leaves. With
the grain worth one and half billion
dollars, the feed value of the rest of
the crop is billion dollars. At
least 80 per cent Of the feed value Of
the stalk is lost under the present
system of farm management-s) waste
with this crop alone of almost bill
lion dollars yearly. No other busi-
ness but farming could stand such
an enormous loss.
"In the New England and middle
States most of the stalks are saved
as fodder. and there are many silos,
but with the damage from weather.
ing. the waste in haudling and the
less in digestibility from drying, the
farmers, who do not use silos, are
very far from utilizing the full feed
value of the corn stalk. In the corn
belt. where the bulk of the corn ID
raised. comparatively few corn grow
ers harvest the stalk, and the only
returns most of them secure from the
forage is by pasturing the dead stalks

turcd in thestalk field makes los,
that far exceeds the returns from the
feed.
"Contrast this waste BY the corr
grower with the practices of large
business organizations. For years
tho great packing houses have solo
dressed meats for less than they have
paid for the live weight of the an
imal.
"Yet. every year these packing
houses return millions Of dollars pro

THE FAMOUS BRIDGE BILL"

The famouh Bridge Bill' will 60
before the legislature for another
hearing this session. The provisions
of the bill are calculated to relieve
the counties of an enormous expense
each year for the maintenance Of
bridges and jefferson County Com
mis:4oners are backing it for all
their worth, as it would mean much
toward the improvements of high
ways in the county. At the present
time thousands of dollars have been
laid aside for bridge purposes in
maintaining bridges over irrisating
bitches. The bill would require Ditch
Companies to construct and main
tain all bridges 20 feet in length
or more. Senator Staley worked hard
for this bill four years ago and sue
ceeded in securing its passage, but
It was vetoed by Governor Carlson.
The county Commissioners Of this
county have sent the following letter
to the members Of the state senate
and house Of representatives:
I'VE desire to ask your assistance
in the introduction and passage Of
q bill requiring ditch companies to
construct and maintain all bridges
over their respective bitches, Of =
length Of 90 feet or more.
Jefferson county il . great suf-
ferer from being compelled to build
and repair bridges over irrigation
bitches. The Croke canal, crossing
the county requires the mainte-
ance Of about nineteen bridges. all
about sixty feet in length, and yet
the water carried in said canal il
Ill delivered and used beyond the
county. therefore the county re-
ceives no benefits therefrom, either
in taxes or otherwise, and is COM
PEELED to expend y large amount Of
the Taxpayers money to maintain
said bridges. Again. these bridges
are becoming old and will have to
be rebuilt soon, which will cost the
county Thousands Of dollars, and
neither the county nor taxpayerA
receive the slightest benefit.
This Is only an example, ~ there
are several bitches crossing this
county which require bridges over
twenty feet in length, probably fifty
in number, which require the ex-
penditure Of u very large sum an
nually.
I've think it unjust to compel
this county to bear this great bur-
den for the benefit Of other coun-
ties and ditch companies not tax
payers In this county"

FEATURES OF THE EPIDEMIC
(From the Springfield Republican,

One OF the most remarkable features
or the epidemic is the high mortality
among young adults, whose resistance
might be supposed greatest. Statistics
just compiled by the New York board Of
health show that of 206Os deaths from
the epidemic In that city from Sept. Is to
Nov l6, those for the ages from twenty
one to thrty-one were as follows: $50,
b7l, 600, $50, 7sO. $685. 1913. SIT. s16. $40. The
way they heap up about twenty eight
Is astonishing in itself and in its sym
metry, how does science explain the
phenomenon? 1t is remarkable that this
age group, which in the 1890 epidemic was
almost immune from danger, has in New
York suffered 80 per cent. OF all the
losses. II We extend the age limit down.
ward to eighteen to take In the conscrip-
ton limits. 1t would suffer still more
heavily. perhaps nearly 40 per cent. This
would have It's bearing of course, on
the heavy losses suffered by tho army,
and would to some extent meet criticism
on that score. If 20 per cent. of the popu-
lation suffer 40 per cent. of the losses.
the army rate. would be, twice as high as
that of, the population at large. And II
to this we add the consideration that the
camps may have suffered in one epidemic
what the civilian population has suffered
more gradually there may be no real
disparity.

GERMANS ARE NOT
YET CONVINCED
Misled as to Cause of War, They
Still Think They Are Right,
Says Macmillan Harden

Brussels, Feb. 10. british wireless
Service. )-Maximilian Harden, editor
Of Die Zukunft Of Berlin, in an inter-
view in. LIE Soir Of Brussels, declares
that the German people were misled
as to the cause OF the war. They be-
lieved at the outbreak that Germany
was in the right and even believe now
that right was on their side.
Emperor William, Harden declared,
was drawn into the war against his
own wishes, but once hostilities began
1t was he who kept alive national
hatred and was responsible for the
methods of warfare for which the
world would never forgive Germany.
Our people," said Harden, did not
know and do not now know. They
loyalty believed that right was on
their side. If they had not, they would
not have fought and suffered as they
did. They believed in n coalition
against Germany. They did not un-
derstand that Great Britain. France
to protect themselves against the ad
verse designs of the Kaiser.
"'rhey did not understand that the
violation of Belgium was a crime which
turned the enlightened universe against
Germany. They are still certain that
If Germany had not invaded Belgium
Great Britain and France were ready
to do so. Personally, I do not think
France ever thought of such a thing
and If she had Great Britain would
not have permitted It.
KAISER Wilhelm was drawn into il
himself, perhaps against his own senti.
ments. He was not warlike; he was no,
even courageous, and i know that he
did struggle to conquer his personal feel
ings before he could be brought to sigr
the mobilization decree.
But once war was declared 1t was he
who kept alive the national hatred. 1,
was he who used methods of war foi
which the world will never pardon him
Believe me it causes me terrible pair
to have to admit this"
