VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
PROGRESSIVE
RECORD KEPT CLEAR

There has been much said and writ
/ the ways and means of doing it.
Although taxes have not risen as
much as other things have in the past
few years. yet they are Il real burden
and now is the time to eliminate all
eXtravagant or needless expense. while
the public is awake to its need. Yet
we must be careful and business-like
about it. Not all reduction in expense
is real economy Some things are not
economy at all, simply poor business.
There have been hints Of applying the
axe to the place of county agent and
, county nurse TO my mind, that would
| be a most unfortunate thing 10 do. /
believe that our prosperity depends
very largely on the use of good seed.
improved stock. progressive farming
and more efficient means of marketing
and buying. Now the one man in our
midst who is always on the job, alert,
educated and efficient is our county
agent Of course, one man and his
office clerk. who is Indispensable. are
entirely inadequate with 50 many and
varied Jobs among 1000 farmers and
others. vet that is no reason why we
should eliminate what little we are
having done And he is surely not
Ovcr-paid. Farmers are justly crltl-
ciZed for their lack OF cooperation and
INCONSISTENCIES along these lines, and
| am afraid we are partly getting what
we deserve. II won't do to to take L
backward step in these progressive and
vital things in which we are already
Il little weak.
AS to the county nurse, | feel much
the same as in the case Of the county
agent 1t is one Of the real progress
i've steps that got 4 definite start dur
inc the war. Isn't it as important to
develop strong. vigorous race for
neaceful pursuits as for war? Judg
ing from what those say who have an
opportunity to know there is an album
dant opportunity for improving the
health and vigOr of our people. The
county nurse in working through the
schools. for instance. has an especially
favorable opportunity to work with
the children in an intelligent way II
She can secure hearty cooperation.
1t is better and easier. as Il rule TO
keep we'll than to get well. county
nurse helps in many other ways too
numerous for this article. But i'll cases
of contagious diseases she is especially
helpful. And | believe in the long run
she would help to save far more in doe
tor bills for us than her expense IS. In
such case it is no economy to cut
her out for that reason alone.
believe that the county nurse and
agent Red Cross. Salvation Army
work and some other things along such
lines are things of real progress which
we cannot afford to be without. Am
sorry to hear Of the opposition to some
Of them by our representative at Mad
iSOn. When | want to boost our conn
~ among strangers | tel them of our
record in these things.

RETURN TO- ANCIENT METHOD
War Gradually Forcing Countries to Go Back to the Primitive
 Custom of Barter. =.

Predictions by some economists that the time may come if the war lasts much longer that money would cease to have any value, are gradually coming true, they contend. They point out that shipping deals being made by both belligerents are virtually a return to the old system of bartering goods
 AS an illustration, the case is cited of the United States dickering with Japanese for tonnage to transport and maintain the 100000 troops Secretary Baker expects to have in Europe by the end of this year. Ship plates for the Japanese have been held up in this country for several months by with holding export licenses. If the United States can obtain the tonnage the Jap anese may get the plates on the basis of about two tons of shipping for one ton of ship plates.
 In Germany the idea has been forced to a greater extent In Erfurt and elsewhere it has long been the practice of doctors, dentists and other profess siOnal men to insist on payment in kind.

GERMAN TOYS MADE OF WOOD
Makers Forced to Use That Material Because Better Stuff Is Now
 Almost Unobtainabie.

The German toy industry is showing the effects of three years of war. Sim piicity Is the rule in toy shops at pres- ent. Wood, which formerly was used only for cheaper sorts of toys, is now the chief material employed. The man. ufacture of new dolls Is becoming irn- possible through the lack of flour (used with cement in making the bodies). Wax, which is employed for the heads of the better class dolls, is almost un- obtanable; the same is true of the stuffs and lace used for making dolls shoes, hats, dresses, stockings, etc. These are obtainable only at prices four times higher than before the war, consequently the prices of toys are higher
 The simple, cheap toys that formerly could be bought in the stores or from street vendors for 10 pfennigs now cost 20 pfennigs or more. Jumping jacks Of paper and cheap picture books no long, CT can be had except where old sup plies are still in stock. Metal toys are few In number. The pretty toy trains and magic lanterns which used to be so common have been turned out only by those manufacturers who also were engaged in intuition work and so com manded supplies of the necessary ma terials.
 Toys which were intended for ex- port, but which could not be shipped owing to the war, made a welcome ad- dition to the supply for home consump- ton, large quantities Of the better class of toys thus being put at the service of the home dealer. Great difficulties stand In the way of conveyance from the maker to the large towns, and only after long delay do toys reach the re- taller.

A Woman Who Wouldn't Renlarry
By Idah McGlone Gibson
The Noted Writer

woman, although my husband, hac
he been alive, would probably no'
have thought so.
Experience had brought to my
features a strength that was moi
even promised in the old photo
graph of my girlhood days.
The portrait of my more ma
ture years showed the face OF a
woman who had lived, lived to the
fullest, and who had come to that
calm philosophy which brings to
those who reach 1t great content
ment of mind. The woman in the
picture seemed to say, There Is
nothing in this world worth a
tear" and she also knew the truth
! of what | once heard noted beau
ty say: "Most women had to shed
gallons of tears before they found
out they were absolutely unneces-
sary."
In the later picture the mouth
had lost none of its sensitiveness,
but it was firmer and had lost
some Of it's appealing curves.
1t had taken more than the
years that had passed between the
taking of first and second pictures
to change the likeness Of the girl
into the likeness of the woman,
and I felt very sorry for the girl
who had the experiences.
Today I am ready to laugh at
the things which seemed tragic
during the first years of my mar
ried life, but those little tragedies
placed their indelible stamp upon
