1900 acres of sweet clover this
year, the manager, Charles
Franks, having been notified by
the proprietor to plant that acre
age.
A small patch of sweet clover
on the farm this year yielded in
the gross over $1,000, a fact
which has evidently encouraged
the proprietor to continue in that
line. 1t is estimated that 1900
acres planted to sweet clover on
the farm in 1919 yielding as the
smaller acreage did would have
brought the owner q gross income
Of no less than $325, 0OO.

THE EoUAL CHANCE.

THE EQUAL CHANCE.
"1've had a chance" said he.
How often do we hear it said
By men whose every hope is dead?
"No chance the world has given me
To come to fame and forge ahead
No chance! the very breath Of life
Is all the chance which God be-
On men from birth unto the close.
He who has strength to face the
strife
Has all his happier brother knows.
He who has strength to work and
wait
Is well-equipped for every care.
He can do all that he will dare,
Mans will determins oft his fate,
And every man must do his share.
Yet some are born to riches here,
And some unto a round of ease,
But Judge not by the lives of these.
The truly great in any sphere
Are toilers in life's industries.
Life is itself the only chance @
Which God bestows upon a man.
We are all equal by His plan. !,
Strong men can master circumstance
Twas as a toiler Christ began.

THE ASSESSORS TERM.

The township assessors through
out the state are elected at the
spring election. take Office immedi-
ately and begin their duties as of
April first. The new assessor there
fore has only a! very short time after
his election to prepare for his work.
e not know in advance of the
spring election whether he is to be
assessor or not and it would not
pay him to spend much time prepar-
ing himself for his duties in the
absence Of definite knowledge rs to
whether or not he would be required
to perform them: The objection has
been made, and it seems a easo
able one, that the term Of the as
SCISSOR expires some time in the
middle of the summer. That ar
rangement would permit the
to have several months in which to
himself with the condt-
tons, and to prepare himself at his
leisure for the annual assessment of
the following spring. His ces
would wait until the ensuing assess
,ment IS finished, and would have the
same length Of service, the work OF
being affected in any way
except in the time of the yea when
the tenure Of Office begins. There
seems to be no good reaso why
such an arrangement should not be
made. and it appears likely that j,
would result in a more careful and
efficient township assessment. The
arrangement in cities, Of course, i.
on a different basis. There he ~.
SCISSOR is appointed to take Office in
the fall. that arrangement evidently
having cen made to meet simila.
conditions, and to achieve the same
object, namely, that of permitting
the new Official ample time inkwhich
TO eco acquainted with his work
before it begins.

doubtful if ,Napoleon's brief success
could have been repeated. The Ger.
man empire is too badly shattered to
permit OF quick recovery under az
listing. conditions, 1t Is true that
Franca was badly shattered In Napo-
Icons time. but Napoleon's time war
fare was not what it Ia today. An
army Of 100, 900 men was q large
army, and no cannon were in use
the country by horses. Aside entire
~ from the statistics on the subject,
that fact alone would indicate a com
parative smallness and Ineffective
ness OF the biggest guns then in use.
Under these conditions it is evident
that the assembling Of an important
fighting force need NJ have been a
very difficult matter as compared
with the difficulties which would exist,
today. The German army, II it were
to be reconstructed today, placed in
effective fighting condition, would
need to number millions instead of
thousands. It's need for military ma
terial would b. immeasureably
greater than the need in the time of
Napoleon, and what without the rail-
road facilities and the artillery which
Germany does not now possess, its
condition would be hopeless. On the
other hand, the forces of the allies,
while they have been withdrawn from
the late scene of conflict, could
speedily be reassembled in yer
whelmins numbers and equipped
with all the machinery of war. There
is no possibility that under any lead
ership> Germany could strike a sud-
den blow which would place her again
in the field as an effective be1ligerent
nation. 1
The chief effect Of the reactionary
plot seems to be the stirring up and
letting loose of all the forces of dis
order and discomfort, and the weak
ness of the Ebert government Is
shown impressively in the fact that,
that government found it necessary
first to run away in order to escape
an insignificant power force, and
second to appeal to that most dang
erous ~expedient, the genera strike,
in order to maintain itself in any
semblance Of power
Just how far the strike has gone
which the Ebert government invited
We have no knowledge, but the
strike seems to have been a very i'm.
portant feature in the case. Assum-
ing that the Ebert government will
be reinstated, what will be it's posi-
lion when some other element in
v1tes a general strike for the our
pose of accomplishing some design
against b government by means Of
tying up the entire industry Of the
country? Presumably that question
was considered by the Ebert admin
Htration because it was something
the possibility OF which could not
wen be ignored. The conclusion is,
therefore, that the Ebert government
is a weak and uncertain organization
hanging onto the machinery OF the
government by its eyeIids, and ant to
be shaken OF by a very slight
tremor. The outlook for Germany
is not hopeful.
