RUSSIAN WHEAT

The Federal Department Of Agri-
culture reports that Russia has set
up the machinery for resuming the
expectation Of grain. The market
able amount of foodstuffs which can
be sold abroad this year is small,
but by next year it may be large
enough to reduce the European pur-
chase of American, Canadian and
Argentine wheat by millions of bu-
shells. In connection with this report
it is perhaps interesting to recall
that certain members of Congress
demanded the recognition of Russia
as an aid in disposing of the surplus
wheat production of the United
States. The only wheat that Rus
STA was likely to take from us was
gift wheat. The moment Russian
agriculture was restored it was
bound to become a competitor of
the American farmer.-Toledo Blade.

FAKE HERO HEARD
FROM

For awhile Paris, France, was a
fruitful grab-bag for modest, reti-
cent individual who said he won the
war. He gave his name as Sergeant
Michael Donaldson, discreetly limited
that he had 90 citations and 10 me-
dals, including the Congressional
Medal, the d. S. c., the Victoria
Cross and the Japanese Order of the
Rising Sun.
Except for occasional assistance
given by Pershing and some 5,000,-
600 veterans, the alleged Donaldson
personally defeated Germany. He
said so.
He was eulogized, petted, made
the lion of the hour, but
Some one said he had seen this
Donaldson fighting the battle of
Bordeaux with only black eyes as
decorations. The British Govern
ment said it had not given a Vic
toria Cross to any American soldier.
automatically the American Legion
Post asked Donaldson" to explain.
He said he'd bring credentials
around the next day. They're still
looking for it.
There is Sergeant Michael Dom
aldson, a war hero, but he is be-
lieved to be in New York.

HOME STUFF"
TRY THIS IN YOUR CLEANING

Cleaning days are made easier by
filling all woodwork cracks with put
ty, cement or sawdust mixed with
glue. If putty is used, cover it
with shellac. Dents in putty or
sawdust mixture can be removed by
pressing with damp pad of cheese
cloth and a hot iron until the cloth
steams.
Use tepid or cold water for scour-
ing unfinished wood. Sand is better
than soap because it does not darken
the wood. Steel wool is excellent
for removing roughness.
Good furniture polish is made
from equal parts of turpentine and
boiled linseed oil.
To make dustless buster wet a
yard of cheesecloth in tepid water,
wiring it out, then soak it in two
tablespoonful of oil of citronella
mixed with tablespoonful of de-
natured alcohol. Hang it out to dry
before using.

VITAL QUESTIONS
DISCUSSED BY
LEADING EDITORS
OF THE COUNTRY
HALF TAxED-HALF UNTAxED

HALF TAXED-HALF UNTAAED
Advocates of public ownership
schemes use as one of their strong
est arguments, the statement that
states, counties or cities can borrow
money cheaper than private COM
panies because their bonds are
"tax-exempt." In addition public
property pays no taxes.
The income from some 100000
100000 or such tax-exempt bonds
now goes tax-free and the rest of
us pay additional taxes to make up
this loss to the government.
If public ownership was extended
to various lines of industry as adj
vocated by two constitutional amend
ments proposed in Georgia, the tax
assessment roll would shrink and the
burden of taxation on remaining
taxable property would grow heav-
Ter and heavier as city, county and
state functions were enlarged.
Advocates of public ownership
will find that it will be impossible
in this country to maintain the right
of private property for half the
people while taking over under pub
lie ownership the property of the
other half.
Ultimately we would face stu
alton where the principal business
of those holding office would be
how to collect tax revenue from
those not holding office in order to
meet the public payroll.-Industrial
Review.

We have been fighting hard for
four years, and now the Yankees
have got us in Libby Prison. They
are treating us awful bad. The
boys want you to get us out if you
can, but, if you can't, just ride by
the Libby and let us see and give
you cheer. We will all feel bet
ter after it,"
What an army and what gen.
eral!
Lee was patient in encouragement
He must have foreseen defeat with
all the resources of the North ar
rayed against him, yet he never fall
tered, and if he worried, he hid it.
The General was patient, endur-
ing and possessed of a singular SIM
plicity. This was an uncommon vir-
tue for one as dignified, because he
was an aristocrat from birth. He
was perfectly simple in his habit of
living, caring not a whit for display
Yet he was punctilious about his
dress. Consider his careful groom
ing preceding his surrender at APP
pomatox. We cannot say as much
for his conqueror, General Grant,
who was not so particular about his
attire.
After the war, General Lee became
the head of small college in Vir-
ginia, and gave his remarkable tai
ents to the upbuilding of the youth
of his native Southland.
With him, the war ended at Apo
matox Court House. Henceforth
there was to be one nation and one
flag.
His influence was tremendous. One
of his students said: we regard
ed him with the greatest venera-
ton. We had heard of God. but
here was General Lee"
To our mind one of the finest in
cidents in his career was that of the
Sophomore who was summoned to
the Presidents office for laxity.
He was gently admonished for his
negligence, being told that only hard
work would prevent failure in after
life.
"But, General, you failed" was the
Sophomore reply.
81 hope that you may be more
fortunate than IT, was the tranquil
answer of the distinguished General

A MESSAGE TO EX-SERVICE
MEN

Lie insurance was ana Is INTENDED
for the masses. 1t is an institution
whose benefits can be and should be
obtained by the bread-winner. In
order that ex-service men may OBJ
tain the benefits of standard life
insurance at reasonable rates, the
United States Government is offer
ing six types of policies; namely:
Ordinary Life Plan.
30 Payment Life Plan.
20 Payment Life Plan.
20 Year Endowment Plan.
80 Year Endowment Plan.
Endowment Plan maturing at
age g.
Every one of the above plans
provides for liberal guaranteed
values-liberal in the true sense of
the word-for after a policy has
been in force year or more and
should a person be unable to pay
premiums thereon because of finan-
cial difficulties, he could obtain the
cash surrender value; or obtain a
loan equal to 81 per cent. of the
surrender value; or receive protect
ion under extended insurance; or
turn in the policy for paid-up in
surance.
For example, suppose man is
carrying United States Government
Life Insurance for $1,000 on the 20
year Endowment Plan issued at
age %. The monthly premium on
this policy is 1881. Now were the
policy holder to carry this insurance
for a year and then find that he
could not continue payment of
premiums on account of financial
difficulties, he could cash in his
policy for $32.71, or obtain loan
of "a per cent. of the aforesaid
amount; or become automatically
protected for the full amount of the
policy for period of four years
and 1913 days; or he could turn in
the policy for paid-up insurance pro-
tecting him for $59.40 for the rest
of his life. The longer that one
continues the insurance the greater
becomes the guaranteed values. 1t
naturally follows that the more
money that is put in the more can
be taken out.
These policies also contain the
permanent disability clause for
which there is no extra charge.
In addition to these liberal fea-
lures dividend is paid on all poll
cies. In fact, United States Govern
ment Converted Insurance has paid

You SERVICE MEN do not let
a good thing pass by. Insurance

AN ASS POSING AS THE DOVE
OF PEACE

When it was announced several
months ago that Edward X. Box
had offered 100000 for the best
plan to outlaw war, the sincere adj
vocates of peace were hopeful that
it would provide stimulus of gen
uine value. But when the winning
plan was announced Monday it was
revealed as nothing more than
League of Nations propaganda. So
Mr.. Box now appears to the discern
ing mind as another Hank Ford with
a'"peace ship"
The jury of award was undoubted-
ly composed of men whose minds
iran along" with that of Mr.. Box.
And Mr.. Box was willing to spend
100000 for propaganda for the
League of Nations, just as Mr.. Ford
was willing to spend fabulous sums
on his "peace ship" Mr.. Bok's
peace plan will not stop wars any
more than Mr.. Ford's peace ship
stopped them.
But Mr.. Ford got several mil
lion dollars worth of advertising in
return for his money, and Mr.. Box
has already received several times
over in free newspaper space what
the award will cost him. And here's
little more 'free advertising" But
it's to tell my readers to beware lest
they be made suckers" in approving
such propaganda.
Note two significant things about
the award: THE NAME OF THE
MAN WHO PROPOSED THE
PLAN IS KEPT SECRET. Why?
Because if the name was revealed
we would Immediately know that the
plan is propaganda. Also it is said
that only $4,000 ARE TO BE I'M
MEDIATELY PAID TO THE WIN
NER, AND THE BALANCE IS
NOT TO BE PAID UNTIL THE
UNITED STATES SENATE HAS
APPROVED THE PLAN AND PUT
1T INTO ACTIONl
In other words, Mr.. Box is trying
to BUY the approval of the United
States Government for the paltry
sum of $100,000l
There is a coupon printed in this
paper for your vote on the plan.
Cut it out and vote it. But VOTE
NO, and send it in.

be able to speak of it with calmness.
1t strikes us that we can, with pro-
priety, do justice to her leaders, even
tho they fought against our fathers,
There were some remarkable
things about General Lees career,
that seem worth calling your atten-
ton to at this appropriate time-just
few of the high spots.
General Swift, of the U. S. A., in
1910, said: CAN great soldiers be-
fore him inherited ready-made ar
my, but Lee made his own army.
Lee fought against greater odds than
Napoleon. But Lee had his army
at the end, while Napoleon's dis
aseter was complete"
Theodore Roosevelt said: "Lee will
undoubtedly rank as, without any
exception, the greatest of all the
great captains that the English
speaking people have brought forth"
1t is true that Lee fought against
the Federal Government. There was
a question of decision between his
duty to his state and his duty to
his country. and he chose what
seemed to him the more important.
He reasoned that the State exist
ed prior to the Federation, and
might outlive it, so he gave Virginia
precedence over Washington.
He refused the command of the
Northern armies, and accepted the
same honor at the hands of the |
Confederacy, feeling that the State
allegiance gripped his soul
The common soldiers loved Lee
as Napoleon was loved; in fact.
they idolized him.
