How Benefits Will Be Brought About
/. Because the Farm Bureau is an
organization whose pledge of men,
bership is a pledge of service, bene-
fits will accrue from the combined
efforts of members, who are working
on a constructive program, planned
by themselves.
2. These members have the as
sistance of paid agents, trained in
the science of agriculture, the science
and art of homemaking and with high
ideals of what rural life should be-
These women will help to promote
the program which has been deter
mined by farm bureau members.
3. Farm bureaus and their agents
have behind them the resources of
the state colleges and experiment sta
tions, and of the United States De-
partment of agriculture, labor, COM
merce, and all other agencies engag-
ed in the development and conserva-
tion of natural resources.

ENCOURAGING EUROPE TO WAL K
 ALONE.

The allies now owe us $9659,S34, 649.94 and Secretary Houston amour ces it will not be the policy of the treasury to increase this indebtedness, although congress has given authority to make it round 10 billion, if nee essary.
 Probably 1t isn't necessary. Europe must learn to take care of itself ulti- mately, and there's nothing like m early start. War breeds bad habits of idleness hard to shake off. We have felt this peculiar effect even in this country, and it was much more marked in Europe where war had come to be a normal condition. Where this effect of war is augmented by the possession of a rich uncle the condition of mind pro- duced is very bad for industry The allies themselves seem to realize it.. England and France propose to take up some of their American loans all most immediately They are also try ing to discourage imports, both to rem edy present exchange conditions and to stimulate home production. This seems to be good business. Also there is growing recognition that Germany must be encouraged to produce so she can pay her dets, which are consider able It is recognized she must have a working capital, and probably she is going to be allowed to borrow it abroad.
 All this makes for return to stabil- ity which is what the whole world needs. Those nations which have a harder row to hoe than England and France probably will not get round to paying us very soon, and may ever need more credits before they are fully on their feet If they just have te-have help doubtless they will get 1t, but first they must try to see if they can get along without. The first steps are the hardest. but if they can toddle a little they'll be walking the first thing they know.
