SPORTS, OR GOATS?

Are we American people sports,
or are we Just plain goats?
European countries owe the Unit
ed States ten billions OF dollars, loan
cd to them during the war against
Germany. This money will soon be
due, and II IL intimatod that the al
lies either cannot or will not pay
they intimate the former. but we sus-
pect the latter. our friends across
the water, II seems, do not want to
pay us until after they have collect
cd the money from Germany And
when they do get the money from
Germany II Is even possible that
they will suddenly discover some
more urgent and pressing need for II.
Makes fellow feel fine. doesn't
it7 quite sporty, or goaty, which
ever term pleases YOU,
Europe tells the United states II
Is short OF sugar II must have sug-
ar We. too, are short---yory short
but we send II TO them, hundreds OF
millions OF pounds
Of course that shoyes up the price
OF what little we are able to buy our
selves But that doesn't matter TO us
sports. or goats. We just reyel IN
coughing up lively for the benefit OF
our dear friends across tho water,
Why should we ask Europe 10 pay
us the paltry ten billions OF dollars
they owe as? Would that be sporty,
or goaty?
Why should we tell them they
can't have our sugar, because we
haven't enough ourselves for our
canning, and our tables? Would a
sport, or a goat, be so ungenerous2
Why not give them everything
they want, and thank them for taxi
Ing IL? Wouldn't that be quite sporty,
or tremendously goaty?
Why not be genuine sports, or
wholehearted goats, while we are
about II? For isn't II quite jolly to
be a sport, or supremely comforting
TO be a goat?

WHY NOT THIS TOWN?

In all probability Henry Ford has
advanced tho most practical idea yet
for keeping young men on the farms.
Henry suggests that we build fac
tories throughout the farming sec
tions, give these young men employ
ment during the winter months when
there is no farm work to be done,
and shut them down In the summer
when the men are needed on the
farms.
IL is a sane, sensible and eminent
ly practical suggestion Il Is one
easy of attainment. Il could be done
In this community as well as any
othor place. We have the brains noe
ossary TO organize. operate and mar
ket the products OF such factory.
We have the capital required Tor
such purpose.
what more can we ask2
Nothing--oxcept for our enterpris-
Ing farmers aud townsmen to get to-
gothor. take the bit In their teeth,
and 10 ahead.
Are we equal to the occasion?

GIVE THE WEST A CHANCE

The new water power bill passed
by Congress and signed by the Pres
dent means wonderful changes in
western industries
II means that five transcontinental
railroads would move passenger and
freight trains at greater speed and
less expense
It would mean building great fac
tories in all western states aud saw
ing the haul on raw material east
and manufactured goods west
Il would mean cheaper power for
farmers and fruit growers with which
to put water on arid lands on n
scale that is now impossible
But all these great possibilities for
the west depend on the Interpretation
OF the law by the national commits
sion that executes the law.
The rules and regulations that are
adopted to put into operation the
practical details Of the new water
power law should be plain and sim
Pile and not difficult to comply with.

CANDY INDUSTRY GROWS

The war demonstrated the fact
that men under severe training need
sweets and as result we developed
an army OF 4.0OO.O 900 candy eaters,
During the days before prohibition
millions OF people In this section sat
isfiod their sweet tooth by the use of
liquors OF different kinds, with pro-
hibition came demand for sweets
In some other form than liquor and
as result candy consumption in
creased remarkably.
Confeotioners state that returned
soldiers are now regular buyers OF
candy Thus has the candy industry
in three short years, jumped from the
class OF so-called "non-essentials, To
an important place In the essentiol

COAL BARoNs PASSING THE BUCK


The increased price OF coal is now
causing the price of gas and electric
ity to dayance and public and private
utility corporations feel the hardship,
The public was led TO believe that
the IA per cent increase in coal min
ers' wages would be absorbed by the
operators OF mines but that is not
true Coal operators at once began
to bill the public utilities for the IA
per cent wage advance and municipal
aud private plants met this raise in
miners wages. In an arbitrary way,
this wage is now passed on to the
consumer of gas and electricity, and
the II per cent raise for miners be-
comes a tax on the consumer
Practically ten per cent of all coal
mined is used to make gas and cleo
tric current, But why should one
tenth Of the coal mined by the whole
hill?
Is II not another case of the coal
barons passing the buck TO the pub
lie?

HIGH PRICES NOT DUE ~ SPEC
ULATION

How can the price OF sugar he re-
duced without removing one or other
OF the causes that have combined 10
bring high prices? The answer Is
simple II cannot be done. Legisla-
tion. regulation, prosecution aud in
timidatlon are powerless to overcome
a worldwide economic condition.
They may deprive consumers OF sugar
but they cannot compel men produc-
Ing for a world market TO accept less
than that market is willing To pay
The causes OF present prices Of
sugar may be summed up as follows:
A decline In worlds production un-
I'll the world crop OF present season
is 100000 long tons below that Of
19l3-14.
A rapidly growing demand from
consumers.
Had the worlds consumption of
sugar continued TO Increase at same
average rate from 1900 To 1914, it's
annual requirements would now be
between 2S,OOO.OOO and $4,000. 900

PREVENTING FIRES on FARM

Experience has shown that fire
prevention should be universally
practiced The farmer. however,
should give special attention TO the
elimination OF fire hazards and the
adoption OF protective methods, This
is true for several reasons, In the
first place, his house, barn and out
buildings are usually constructed OF
combustible materials; being more or
less isolated they are subject to light

but not least, he us usually outside Of
