for several loans aggregating some
$17,o06.6 0o, to be made to several Of
our late allies for reconstruction pur-
poses
The sun involved Is small, but the
fact that the loans are being made,
and for the purposes named. tndi-
Gates something Of the character of
tho need which exists, and Of the man
. in which that need must be met.
For instance, five million dollarU will
be expended in American-made loco
motives which will>go to Poland, and
another five million will be spent for
agricultural machinery manufactured
in this country for the use Of farm
ers in England, France and Belgium.
In other words, instead Of lending
our neighbors money. We arc selling
them on credit tools with which to
work. That is good business. It Is
good business for our own factories
to obtain these orders. It is good
business, for our neighbors to make
purchases Of this character. And
it is good business for the United
States to aid in placing at the dis
posal Of its friends across the ocean
the whereby they car most
readily develop on 4 largeN scale the
increased productive work Of which
the whole world is SO greatly in need.

SHIPS FOR SALE

The United States government will
turn over the railroads Of the country
to their owners en- March I, and the
government is also getting out Of the
shipping business as fast as it can.
Thirty ships some of the very large
ones, being former property Of Ger
many seized in American waters by
the United States, are 5 offered for
sale to American purchasers who will
operate them under American regis
ter, and in accordance with regula-
tons which the government will pre-
scribe.
The decision of the government to
dispose Of the vessels instead Of I'M
dertaking to operate them on its own
account is to be commended. AZ
with the, railroads., the ideal system
is that of private ownership and oper-
alton under private management,
with proper conditions Of operation
prescribed by the government and
diligently enforced.
That system gives the most com
plete play to individual enterprise
and initiative, insures to the public
maximum service at minimum cost,
and prevents the ENHANCEMENT of
the machinery of business with the
machinery of politics, a combination
which always invites disaster.

'AoNDA1 EVENING. JAN. s, 1920
FARMERS LUMBER YARD.

Farmers OF northern Ramsey
county have organized a lumber COM
pany OF their own. and have prach-
cally completed the purchase Of one
OF the yards at Starkweather. Tho
directors of theN concern r among
the most substantial farmers Of that
section.
The Herald IS not informed a. to
the conditions at Starkweather and
in its immediate vicinity which have
prompted this move. The matter is
one which concerns the members OF
the local community, who have a per-
feet right to engage in any form Of
business which interests them. Men
ton OF the subject is made III this
column merely for the purpose of
calling attention to the fact that
whenever the people Of IN COM
munity, large Or small. think it to
their advantage to engage in n line
OF business, the way is open for them,
and no revolution, political or indus
trial, is needed in order That they may
exercise this right. The thing is sim
plicity itself. A number Of people
in n given locality desired a lumber
yard Of their own. and they organ
lied a lumber company for that pur-
pose. They ask no legislation, no
special privileges, ne bond Issues and
no taxation for the benefit Of their
enterprise. They are putting up
their own money and using their own
credit They ask only q fair field
and no favors.
The same opportunity exists, and
has always existed. for those who wish
to engage in any business whatever.
1t has been made use OF to a very
large extent in the elevator business,
and there are now in, the state very
many elevators owned by the farm
ers of the vicinity. and operating I'M
der their direction, which are in every
way successful. In a similar manner
farmers or residents Of cities are at
perfect liberty to organize for any sort
Of business, and additional legisla-
ton for this purpose is not needed.

RIGHTS.

. . ...-. .t- -# ...rf
The meanest man I ever saw
Knew all there is about the Flaw,
He never stepped an inch beyond
The legal phrasing Of his bond;
He wouldn't lie and wouldn't cheat,
But children lodged him, on the
street,
And neighbors had no love for him
Because his ways were stern and
He wanted everything in sight
II he could say twas his, by right.
I've noticed that the meanest fights
Begin with men who want their
rights;
Even as shylock, they pursue
The final dollar that is due,
And though they pay the debts they
Owe,
NO mercy to their friends they show;
The law proclaims them honest men,
But In the verdict rendered then,
throughout the script you cannot find
That it is written they are kind,
All men have rights. and yet it seems
me happiest joys and sweetest
a ~
Are always theirs who now and then
Forego their rights for other men;
Men who their petty claims release
For friendship or the sake OF peace.
And would not make another bleed
although the law allowed the deed,
know more about the worlds delights
Than they who coldly' want their
rights.
Give ME the mar WHO will no press
Inc netghbor who is In distress,
me man of principle who gives
Some thought to how his brother lives
And chooses rather here to act
With Kindness than in ways exact.
The man who, when there is a doubt.
F,orgets his claim o. wipes it ouf,
He shall be richer in the end .
For having been to all a friend.

sometimes travel together, and some
times one surpasses the other. And
one is as likely to present features Of
surprising strangeness as the other.
For instance. away down In the
South Seas three men were rescued
tho other day from Christmas Island
after having been marooned there for
Is months. They had been left in
charge of the cocoanut groves there.
with the promise that supplies would
be sent within = few weeks The sup
plies did not arrive and the men
in hard straits. A touch Of comedy
is given to the situation by the account
Of how these three waits, ignorant Of
the ending of the war. held up the
landing party from a stray warship
at the point of q revolver. supposing
the visiting ship to DO a German YES
sci. One member Of the landing var
ty was Admiral Jellico. formerly in
command Of the British Grand Fleet.
This part Of the story is where the
truth surpasses fiction. The writer of
an adventure story would scarcely
have dared to introduce such an in
cident in his narrative, as his readers
would have considered too much Of a
strain on the probabilities
Now comes the part where the pow
crs that arrange the facts have failed
to learn the lessons taught by fiction.
The marooned party was left on an
island we'll supplied with cocoanut
groves, indicating a plentiful supply
of at least n sort of food. There
was animal life, for mention is made
of the plague of. rats, and It is un-
likely that rats were the only living
creatures to be found. If there were
no other four-legged creatures, there
were doubtless birds in tho trees, and
birds lay eggs. Probably there were
fish in the water. And the party had
three automobiles, which had been
used for travelling from grove to
grove
Imagine Robinson crusoe viii an
outfit like that. Think what the
Swiss Family Robinson would have
done with 1t. Put that material In
the hands of Stevenson or Mayne Reid
and see what would have been the re-
suit. There were three men, two
whites to supply the intellectual fea-
lures, and n native to do the odd
jobs. There was the raw material
for abundance OF food. Where there
are automobiles there. are likely to
be tools, and with tools one can do
anything. These men should have
had a well spread table every day.
They should have built a vermin-
proof house. They should have tan
ned rat skins with which to make
themselves new trousers when their
own wore out. They should have
built themselves a boat, mounted an
automobile engine in it, distilled alco-
hol from cocoanut juice to use for
fuel, and, when weary of their vaca-
ton. have slipped across the waters
for civilization and made a fortune In
the movies.
Strange and romantic? Somewhat.
But not nearly so much so as having
the admiral of the kings navy held
up at the point of a revolver by a
b~reechless castaway.

A WISE POLICY

The telegraphic report from the City OF Mexico
in yesterday mornings issue of this newspaper con-
veyed the intelligence that President de Ia Huerta
had ordered liberation of General Deguez, the mil
itary commander who was the immediate cause of
precipitation of the Sonora revolution, and who was
despatched by Carranza with column of troops to
invade Sonora and quel the rebeliOn but who never
got fairly started on his war-like mission because
the revolution spread so fat that he surrounded
on ali sides by the revolutionary forces and made
prisoner by his own soldiers who pronounced for the
new movement.
1t will be recalled that Dieguez was ordered to
take command of federal military forces in Sonora,
and was to be made military governor of that state,
to displace de la Huerta the constitutional civil gov
ernor duly elected lawfully qualified and exercising
civil power satisfactorily to the people, while the
Yaaui problem WAS rcacfng solution that has been
reached putting stop to hostities that have lasted
many years. The government of Sonora rebeled
against the proposition. But three months have
eIapsed le la Huerta occupies the executive chair
from which Carranza was ousted, the latter lies in
