And at time when milk will
sell at nearly double the price
and that he can make Il steer
weigh from $50 to 200 pounds on
Silage-and we all know that they
will loose $50 to 200 pounds on dry
feed-and some of us will loose
from one to two per cent OF our
cattle-then we also know that it
will take about l0O acres OF feed
with some winter pasture for 100
head OF stock.
Now it will take Silo II X 40
and about 25 or 30 acres of good
feed to fiji it-this with little
straw or pasture will keep Il 100
head and instead OF loosing $50
pounds you can gain l5o pounds
which makes you gain OF 3Ul
pounds. Now you can figure the
difference in cultivating Is acres
or 100 acres-and the value of the
land, then take the gain on your
steers at six cents per pound and
see if it will pay to spend from
$4,000 to s6000O for Silo.

DEBTS OF u. S. INCREASE
3S1 PER CENT IN DECADE

WASHINGTON the last
10 years, the gross debt Of the United
States-federal state, county, and
civic-has increased 381 per cent. &C
cording to statistics of the depart
ment of commerce.
The national government shows
the greatest increase; where the debt
was $2,916,205,0 900 in 1912, it is now
$22,535, 773,000, an increase of 672
per cent This tremendous jump IS
ascribed primarily to the war, but an
increase in the cost of all materials
is Gifted as an added factor.
The marked increase in state,
county and civic Indebtedness, how
ever, is laid to the law exempting
their bond issues from taxation, thus
throwing away their restraint In
placing securities on market which
is ever ready to snatch them mp.

Service Cost Too
High in America.

Economists are generally agreed
that high living costs in this country
are due to excessive costs OF prov1d-
ing service rather than wicked de-
sign on the part of any group. Studies
have shown that the costs of distrlbu-
ton and handling products on their
way from the raw state to the con-
sumner are far in excess of what they
should be. Economic trend along this
line will be to bring producer and
consumer closer together and to sim
plify the means of distribution.
All this ties UP with the complaint
of the farmer that he gets too little
for what he sells and pays too much
for what he must buy. The farmer 5
complaint is justified, but it seems the
reason underlying his grievance is
economic rather than political or n
nancial and that efforts toward relief
along political lines are futile and
perhaps injurious as they delay the
discovery of the real solution and the
application of the remedy.
In the past twenty years manufac-
turing and distributing costs in many
lines have increased tremendously
without a proportionate increase in
the selling price of farm products. In
few lines, motor cars as notable
example, manufacturing and distri-
butirg costs have been kept down or
actually lowered. The problem is to
carry these savings to other lines and
to simplify the too huge costs of mar
keting products of all kinds.
Just how the remedies are to be
achieved we do not know. We think
we are finding what the trouble is and
that at least is worth something.
Remedies will follow.

"The Christian" a
Ridiculous Picture.

A film revival of Hall Gaines novel
THE Christian" indicates that pub
lie taste requires more subtle stimu-
lation to create thrill than that afford
ed by the once popular story. The
character of the Christian is wierd
combination Of fleshly longing COM
bined with a stern asceticism that
would break VOWS and do murder be-
fore it would allow the object Of its
desire to go to another. 1t is not a
pleasant phase of human nature al
though it may be true one.
Father Storm, the leading charac-
ter, loves a woman. She returns his
affection in a perfectly natural and
human way. He views this great gift
in the light of a special temptation
concocted by the Devil for his own
especial benefit. After treating his
sweetheart in a shabby manner and
DESERVING her so he may take his sex
reflex and NOPE over 1t a monastery,
he breaks his vows and comes back
to badger the girl. She has fought
her way to success but retains her

The wicked characters in the story

or very good whereas they are always

vincing and insincere. So is the mob
and so is the mob hysteria aroused to
murder because a threatened end OF

The theme of righteousness is a

The Eternal
Triangle.

In a prurient and somewhat hack
neyed sense the use of the phrase
Eternal Triangle, as denoting a do
nestle mixup with husband or wife
and another man or woman, has be-
come shop-worn in journalism. Jour
nalists, having single track minds,
work phrases to death. Occasionally
some original coins new phrase and
the sob chorus steals it and wears 1t
threadbare There is nothing new
under the sun.
Another triangle, not so often men
toned, is truly eternal and sacredly
so. 1t is the triangle of the father,
mother and child. 1t is the union CT
two human beings to produce another
having qualities Of each parent with
a distinct personality of its own.
In world reeking with erotlc sex
tendencies the purity of the real tr1-
angle is white light. 1t stands as
rock against moral decadence and a
magnet for wandering impulses. Sue
cessful marriage demands it and mar
tai happiness depends upon it. 1t IS
the opposite of the triangle spoken OF
so frequently in yellow journalism.
The two triangles cannot exist side
by side. But, frequently, where the
pure triangle doesn't exist the other
creeps in and destroys the home.

Adjusting All
Old PrQbleHs

One OF the crying abuses in this
cChIntry is the lack of fair treatment
toward the negro and the habit OF
keeping him down and then kicking
him because he is british, trif1ing and
incompetent The 14th and 10Th
amendment violations in certain
states are notable examples. The re-
pugnant side of the negro question
has not improved and the transfer
of the black from the South to the
North has added to rather than re-
duced the problem. 1t is significant
in this respect to note how one
southern city, Durham, N. c., has
handled it's negroes ..nd the improve
ments manifested. A writer outlines
these methods as follows:
"1) Economic opportunities Of
fered to a large enough percentage
of the population to assure decent
livelihood.
"(2) Healthful and pleasant work
ing conditions.
"(3) The spirit of cooperation Gre
ated by negro enterprises, which mas
aided thousands to secure comfort
able houses.
90 The general spirit of Durham
earnest desire to make the negro
population a part of it's citizenry. The
vote is never deniedsbecause of color.
Splendid educational and social OPP
portunities are provided for negroes.
There has never been a lynching, and
colored men are given an honest
hearing in courts"
The Durham community needs its
negroes for industry and agriculture
and the spirit of immigration has not
touched the negro citizens there.
A general and erroneous conclusion
is that negroes in general want social
equality and mingling with the
whites. Our observation is that this
conclusion is untrue. The negro I'M
derstands his own kind and enjoys
being with them. He feels self con-
scious and out of place with the
whites. He has a good time with his
own people and as everybody knows
can get laugh every minute.
Educators in dealing with negroes
understand that they are closer to
the primitive than the white man and
must have different methods. What
a white child knows intuitively the
negro must be taught. For that rea-
son the tendency now is toward seq
regation in schools even where the
color line is not severely drawn. An
other need is to develop race self re-
spect among the negroes supplant1ng
a feeling that they are inferior and
despised because they are different
than the whites. The white man can
render aid along this line Iby treating
the negro fairly instead OF lnferrlng
that he is the dirt under his feet.
No sound argument is made for the
mingling of the two races nor can be
made. 1t is better to keep the blood
streams of both races separate and to
help the negro on his feet toward self
respect and self sustainment.

Public Officials Exempted
From Income Taxation.

Just why, we would ask, snouIu
public officials many of whom have
the say in placing taxes, he exempted
from paying income tax? AS we I'M
derstand it state and county officials
are exempt from state taxation al
though not exempt from federal taxa
ton. Federal officials are exempt
from federal taxation although not
exempt from state taxation.
The unfair thing about exemption IS
that it throws more burden upon the
classes not exempted. In the case OF
congressman it creates a frame OF
mind that regards income tax burdens
lightly. In effect just how much does
any man care what tax Is SO long as
he doesn't pay 1t himself? This ap-
plies to all of Us.

The Blessed Poor Man.

While on the subject of property
and wealth and the plenty or the iacn
OF it, one can easily conclude tnat OF
two men, one living in comfort, out
comparative poverty compared TO rlch-
e5, Ind the eaIthy man, the poor man
has much the best of it. He has little
to steal and doesn't have to lie awake
nlgnls worrying over his investments.
His responsibilitieS are small COM
pared to the rich man and he has more
tine for leasure, recreation and SO on.
When ne wants to he can go fishing.
His walks are in humber paths, but
the elements of a happy life are there
and lie likes it.
Great riches entails great response
bility and much worry. The rich man
s tied to his money bags and must
guard his treasure constantly. Lie
becomes a dreary round OF scanning
investments, attending board meet
ings and watching the nimble dollars.
One reads a good deal of moron, de-
generate tendencies among certain
people of wealth. 1t seems that the
only man able to understand wealth,
it's uses and dangers, is the man born
to it. He takes it as a matter or
course. lust as the poor man takes
limited means. He gets little more
out of life than the poor man. one
can only eat three meals a day with
out danger and it is physically i'm
possible to sleep in more than one
bed at a time. More often rest is
sweeter on a pallet Of straw than on
a box spring and elder down.
Economic independence is fine
thing, but 1t has its dangers. Most
of us need to. be tied to our jobs and
living in step with public opinion. 1t
is good medicine.

We Don't Own Things;
Inst HAZE a Life Lease.

Did you ever stop to think that nc
matter how we'll fixed we may be none
of us really owns anything. This APP
plies to YOU, to the writer, to John d.
Rockefeller and Henry Ford, or TO
Weary Willie beating his way along
the high road.
No man owns anything. Naked he
comes into the world and the best he
can take away are his grave clothes
and perhaps "a more or less fancy COT
fin. These and nothing more.
Possessions constitute steward
shin. Andrew Carnegie knew this
and died comparatively poor. After
enjoying the great game of amassing
riches into his pile and having had all
the fun he could out Of achievement
he spent the last days Of his life en-
loving the thrill of giving. He gave,
gave, gave. He died relatively poor.
Rockefeller elder and Rockefeller
younger know this. They have given
millions away and will give millions
more. And Henry Ford knows this.
too. Riches, to the worlds richest
man, are merely few figures more or
less on a ledger sheet. He couldn't
spend his money regardless OF how
hard he tried unless he gave 1t away
in chunks. So far he has given mil
lions to his help in the form of profit
sharing. So it goes.
The point about possessions is the
stewardship. We struggle, first to
place ourselves beyond want, and sec
ond, to justify our human conceit in
the way of being successful. and
achieving. These things are praise
worthy. In our humble way each of
US can make his life count and count
hard. We are given talents in stew
ardship just as we acquire property
in stewardship.
Therefore, we conclude that phil
anthropic socialists who continually
stress the importance of dead level
in possessions have the wrong view
point. In a significant sense they are
the greatest materialists. BY Danish
ing private ownership they make its
possession the most desirable OF all
things.
There is no such thing as perman-
emit ownership in this world. For a
little while we may have a lease or
tenure on possessions. Eventually we
surrender them and move on to un-
known things. Life is a stewardship.
