reports read that the reception re-

Perhaps the ru NOR that "Uncle

some truth in it. A good place to

would be in Alabama. 1t is the first

if Ford can start the wheels of in

The proposition Of w. ]. Bryan to
wipe out the debt owing to this
country by the allies with one
sweep of generous pen should not
be seriously considered at this time
The wiping out of this ten billions
just now would do nobody any
good. None of the European coun-
tries are able ito pay even the in
Iterest, unless 1t be England and she
hasn't done anything so far but
talk. If it would help to restore any
prosperity in Europe there might be
some excuse for 1t. No taxes are
being, levied or collected in any
European country to pay off this
debt 30 that no one is being injur-
ed by leaving 1t on the books. The
whole transaction would be on pa
per without profit to either side
There may come time when the
United States for what it considers
good and sufficient reasons may be
willing to cancel this war debt, but
let 1t be in the interest of humani-
ty at a time when it is humanity pos
sible to do somebody some good.

THE TRUTH ABOUT CORN
IN THE HOG,

One of our learned city newspa.
per editors tells us that corn in the
hog is worth 80 cents a bushel
while corn sold in the raw for cash
is worth only 4S cents bushel
The said learned city writer draws
the conclusion therefore, that it will
be very profitable for hog raisers
to feed their corn to hogs this win
ter.
We don't pretend to be corn ex-
prts, or hog experts, or experts on
corn in the hog, but we believe that
our city friend has overlooked a
few things. That which lies be-
tween the 48 cents for cash corn
and 80 cents for corn in the hog, is
not merely corn.
When you have sold your lbushel
of corn for 48 cents and delivered
It, the bushel of corn has passed
fro your life. But If you refrain
from selling it, and feel it to hogs
instead, you add some things that
hould count as expenses. The la
Dor of feeding the bushel of corn in
to the hog, the labor of taking pro-
per care OF that hog, the work and
risk OF keeping that hog alive, the
expense Of providing him with a
comfortable home, the measures to
protect the feed from predatory ami
mails, and finally the toll, trouble
and dangers of moving living
bushel OF corn rather than an in
animate bushel OF corn to market.
Forty-eight cents cash corn, plus
human labor, plus human brain
work, plus other overhead, equals
30 cents per bushel.
And when that 'corn IN tho NJ
gets to market, you may very we'll
find yourself receiving less than 80
cents bushel for him.
