should be comfortably well off.
But take as an example the wages
of coal miners, because in many as
poets they are most important work
men in Germany.
If the miner falls down on his
job, Germany is 'kaput'' done.
In January, 1921, the miners in
the Ruhr Valley got $3.50 marks per
shift Of seven hours.
By February Of 1922, they were
getting 1884, by May, 1912 and
by July, 258.38.
When | was in Essen, the metropo-
lis of the Ruhr, the other day, they
told me the latest figures for miners
were 1255.8o per shift, in addition
to 40 marks per day if the miner had
wife another 40 marks per day for
each child.
He also got his coal for a very low
figure.
But listen how prices jumped from
their pre-war standard:
Beans which cost % pfennings a
pound-there are 100 pfennings in a
mark-cost 60 marks in October,
much more now.
Peas which cost % pfennings, cost
68 marks in October.
Lard, formerly rs pfennings per
poand, IN October cost $50 marks.
Eggs which used to be seven pfen-
nigs each, cost 26 marks-when you
could get them.
Let US peep behind the scenes in
the four-room flat Of Johan Schmidt
and wife of Berlin. Johan may be
mechanic draying $500 MARKS pey

worker, 5000; brewer, 5000; shoe
maker, 94o0; plumber, 9165; builder,
24O per hour; or dray driver 1000.
Schmidt has finished his breakfast
of two slices of dark bread with
dripping, and cup Of coffee without
a real coffee bean in it.
He has wrapped his lunch of two
slices of black bread with a piece of
sausage and a gnarled apple and
started away early, so he can walk
to work. The shortest car rides row
cost 30 marks.
Mrs. Schmidt, market basket on
her arm, walks down town to one of
the big department stores.
There is ever-present in Mrs.
Schmidt's mind the fact that her
husband is earning between 100 and
1900 marks per day Judge her
frame of mind when she ibeholds

LLANO SUGAR CANE SYRUP

Acres and acres of LIano Sugar Cane are
each year harvested and made into syrup.
The process is to run the cane stalks through
the crusher, which separates the juice from
the pulp, the juice running directly to the
cooking pans where steam pipes boil out the
water, leaving the thick light brown syrup.
1t is the essence of the cane, contains all the
mineral elements of the juice, nothing being
added and nothing taken away except what
goes off in steam. Absolutely pure cane juice
just as nature intended us to eat sweet stuff.
Apply it on Llano Peanuts and you have
at once a we'll balanced ration. Added to
food in cooking it replaces the devitalized
white sugar, and is much cheaper.
Sold in gallon cans at 100 per gallon; or
in larger kegs. Express or postage extra.
Weight about 10 lbs. per gallon.

VOW to consecrate and not
- TO desecrate? Thatis the
4 K question? Shall Ar
mistice Day be celebrated or Shall
it be coranlemorated? Shall the
eleventh Of November represent
the dawn of a new hope, or>shall
we be satisfied to emulate the
aborigines of this country and
turn it,into q war dance, gloating
over vanquished foe?
Historians claim that the vie
tors always are in danger of
adopting the vices Of the con-
quered. Is the North American
Indian, who was forced to yield
to the white man, still Influencing
our expressions? Are we in dan
ger of acquiring the German mil
itaristic spirit in holding our
selves aloof and allowing only
military organizations to take an
important part?
These are questions we may
well ponder. Armistice Day is
such an important national holt
day and it must remain so for all
the people. It holds as. big a
place in our national life as do
the Fourth Of July and Decora-
ton day, which mark the end of
crisis in the history of our
country. Il is not alone a holiday
of holidays for America but for
the whole world.
Cur attitude toward Armistice
Day and the use we make of it
is not so much concerned with
the past as with the present and
future. It does not emphasize
the close, of an era but rather the
beginning Of a task of which the
world war was only the forerun-
ner.
If we DO not assume the sacred
obligations which the war has
laid upon us, if we do not build
upon the new national ideal
which was created with the first
Armistiee Day, then all our sacri-l
fees win have been in vain.

world war for conquest nor

THE WEEVIL'S ADVANTAGE

| 1t is the proud boast of man thai
he is the master of creation. OF al
the forms of life on the planet mar
alone is endowed with intelligence
Man alone has been able to conquer
the elements and to turn the forces
of nature to his beneficent pur-
poses; but in one respect man is
less powerful than the simplest
forms of life-he does not obey the
laws of nature, and though endowed
with reason he fails, at times, tc
take the necessary steps to protect
himself against the enemies of his
kind or his property.
Here and there are individuals
who will act, but their neighbors
will not, and since in such battle
all must act unitedly if success is to
be attained, mans failure to CO.
operate is often the cause of his un-
doing. If man would only unit his
efforts he would win.
which will be told again in the fight
against the alfalfa weevil unless the
people of this section awake to the
problem before them, according to
Claude Wakeland, entomologist OF
the University of Idaho who ad-
dressed the meeting of farmers
from Idaho and Oregon at the park
last Saturday noon. 1t is a mes
sage that every rancher and every
business man of this section of the
Snake River valley should take to
heart. The weevil is no less the
problem of the business men than
1t is of the farmers. or course the
business man can not stray their
stores and fight the weevil, but they
can encourage their farmer custom
ers in the fight. The banks can as
sist by financing the farmers to the
necessary spraying machines, and
even go to the extent of assisting
them in the formation of pools to
Jointly own and operate these spray
ers, and thus aid themselves by Sc
curing protection of the crop on
which their loans -arebased. There
is plenty to do for everyone If this
fight against alfalfa weevil is to be
successful
And this fight must win, for upon
the outcome of the battle against
the weevil depends the entire eco
