Win the War by Preparing the Land Sowing the Seed and Producing Bigger Crops Work in Joint Effort the Soil of the United States and Canada CO-OPERATIVE FARMING IN MAN POWER NECESSARY TO WIN THE BATTLE FOR LIBERTY The Food Controllers of the United States and Canada are asking for greater food production. Scarcely 100,000,000 bushels of wheat are available to be sent to the allies overseas before the crop harvest. Upon the efforts of the United States and Canada rests the burden of supply. Every Available Tillable Acre Must Contribute; Every Available Farmer and Farm Hand Must Assist Western Canada has an enormous acreage to be seeded, but man power is short, and an appeal to the United States allies is for more men for seeding operation. Canada’s Wheat Production Last Year was 226,000,000 Bushels; the Demand From Canada Alone for 1918 Is 400,000,000 Bbshols To secure this she must have assistance. She has the land but needs the men. The Government of the United States wants every man who can effectively help, to do farm work this year. It wants the land in the United States developed first of course; but it also wants to help Canada. Whenever we find a man we can spare to Canada’s fields after ours are supplied, we want to direct him there. Apply to our Employment Service, and we will tell you where you can best serve the combined interests. Western Canada’s help will be required not later than April sth. Wages to competent help, £50.00 a/nonth.and up, board and lodging. Those who respond to this appeal will get a warm welcome, good wages, good board and find comfortable homes. They will get a rate of one cent a mile from Canadian boundary points to destination and return. For particulars as to routes and places where employment may be had apply to: If. S.

HOME TOWN HELPS

CITY MANAGERS IN ILLINOIS Plan Is Growing In Favor—Eight States Now Have Laws Dealing With the Matter. Glencoe and Winnetka have operated successfully for some time under the city management plan, in spite of handicaps. They have felt the need of specific statutory authority and have been somewhat embarrassed by the presence of certain elected minor officials who are not under the jurisdiction of the village trustees. For thia reason many cities and villages wish to adopt the commissioner manager form of government. The plan is to be made applicable to cities or villages not exceeding 500,000 population—that is, to all municipalities of the state except Chicago. Under its terms the city or village council would consist of the mayor and four commissioners, to be elected. All administrative and executive powers would vest in a city manager appoint'ed by the council for an indefinite term at compensation filed by the council and subject to removal at the council’s pleasure. Eight states now have laws of this sort in successful operation. They include New York, Massachusetts, lowa, Michigan, Ohio and Kansas. Notable Instances of successful use of the manager system fire found in Dayton and Springfield, 0., and Niagara Falls, N. Y. Only one feature appears to vex the student of municipal government. This relates to the payment of a salary to the, mayor, whose functions would be largely ceremonial —although he is to be a member of the council and its presiding officer and fees to the other four commissioners for each meeting attended and for time spent on city committee work. Yet it is quite possible that the absence of such emoluments would tend to make for these positions men of high class and marked ability.—Chicago Daily News.

GUARD AGAINST ROSE SLUG

Good Idea Now to Devise Means for Combating Deadly Enemy of Successful Flower Garden. One of the greatest drawbacks to a successful garden is the ravages of the rose slug, which renders an entire bush unsightly in a short time. But this enemy may generally be combated if the work is begun in time. If given, early in the season, a good spraying once a week for several weeks hi succession with the full force of the spray from the garden hose, this pest can easily be kept down. If you do not have a hose make up the following solution and use it full strength from the ordinary watering can: To dne •bucketful of boiling water use a goodsized cake of whale-oil soap and one teaspoonful of nlcotlqe. Apply this mixture four nights in succession. Commence to combat all garden enemies early in the season, before they have rendered the plants unsightly. flimbing roses grow luxuriantly In almost any sunny situation. They are strong feeders and care should be taken that their growth Is not interfered with by being planted in,too close proximity to the roots of trees or strong shrubbery. While many varieties are very hardy, yet they will flower longer if planted w'here they can be protected from strong winds.

Man Who Must Vanish.

He still breathes, the “man with soul so dead” that he can say, not only to himself but publicly: “What was good enough for my father is good enough for me,” says a writer. Mercifully for human progress there are signs abroad that, give us hope of his ultimately becoming extinct. He will be survived for a time, but not indefinitely, by his mate whose marvelous prehensile tenacity leads her to believe —and act accordingly?—that what was good enough for her greatgrandmother is good enough for her. Undoubtedly the least violent modernist would be willing to deal the blow that should rid us of them, but there is a strange resilience in both the male and female of this species that makes them rise unscathed after the sharpest attacks on their benighted tenets. We shall have to wait the slower end that must befall them. Evolution by exclusion, or the killing off of those who persistently go the wrong way is a sure process* if not a swift one. So knowing him to be doomed, let us not waste energy in hopeless argument with him.

Describes an Ideal Dwelling.

“A home is not properly a show place,” says Noble Foster Hoggson. “Rather, it Is a house and a plot of ground that, together, bring rest to the aged, peace to the strong, and joy to the hungry, riotous spirit of youth. It Is a creating —not a mere fulfilment of an order, the result of contract well or 111 kept, a thing to be bought and paid for by mqney. “Money cannot buy a home,” declares Mr. Hoggson, "but,” he adds, “he who hungers for a home may, by taking counsel with those who are practiced in giving expression to human desires in terms of houses and their environments, achieve a result ahlte as happy and as truly as if he were to alt to a great portrait painter."

Swift & Company Publicity At a recent hearing of the Federal Trade Commission there was introduced correspondence taken from the private files of Swift & Company,which showed that the Company had been considering for some time an educational advertising campaign. The need for this publicity has been apparent to us for several years. The gross misrepresentation to which we have recently been subjected has convinced us that we should no longer delay in putting before the public the basic facts of our business, relying on the fair-mindedness of the American people. The feeling against the American packer is based largely on the belief that the income and well-being of the producer and consumer are adversely affected by the packers’ operations, resulting in unreasonably large profits. Swift & Company’s net profit is reasonable, and represents an insignificant factor in the cost of living. For the fiscal year 1917 the total sales and net profit of Swift & Company were as follows: Sales $875,000,000. Profits __ $34,650,000. ■ This is equivalent to a $3,465. profit on a business of $87,500. ®lf Swift & Company had made no profit at all, the cattle raiser would have received only one-eighth of a cent per pound more for his cattle, or the consumer would have saved only one-quarter of a cent per pound on dressed beef. Swift & Company, U. S. A.

Caviar to the General.

Although some packers of caviar in New York report that spoonbill caviar is being marketed here in bulk as low as 75 cents a pound, the market generally remains-at $1.25 for prime quality, and a few sales are reported at sl. The quantity has been limited from all sources and, indeed, operators here have not been buying heavily. There has been a scarcity of lake caviar in bulk, and packers report that the prevailing price' for this grade has been usually $1.50 a pound.—Fishing Gazette.

A German Republic.

I cannot easily believe in a German revolution, and still less, In a German republic. I at all events, not live long enough to behold the latter. But I feel convinced that, long after we shall have quietly rotted In our graves, they will, In Germany, battle for a republic, with speech and sword. For republicanism is an idea, and the Germans have never yet given up an idea until they have fought It out to its ultimate results. —Heine.

THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPE ARE GIVING TOASTED' CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS # To anyone who doesn’t know of the wonderful advances that have been made in the preparation of smoking tobaccos in the last few years it may sound strange to speak of toasted cigarettes. Strictly speaking, we should say cigarettes made of toasted tobacco; the smokers of this country will recognize it more readily by its trade name, “LUCKY STRIKE ” —the toasted cigarette. The American Tobacco Company are producing millions of these toasted cigarettes and these are being bought in enormous quantities through the various tobacco funds conducted by the newspapers of the country and forwarded through the Red Cross Society to the boys in France. This new process of treating tobacco not only improves the flavor of the tobacco but it seals in this flavdr and makes the cigarettes keep better. The Red Cross nurse is always glad to have a cigarette for the wounded soldier, as, in most instances, that is the first thing asked for. -—Adv. Cheap Enough.
