SALMAGUNDI

This country has made some very successful ‘‘drives’’ during the past year. There have been the two Liberty loan drives, the Red Cross drive, the Y. M. C.A. drive, and others. But greatest of all, the 1917 drive for the greatest development of war gardens the world has ever seen. And the success of this drive is still plainly to be seen in' the great abundance of canned and dried fruits and vegetables to be found in the hemes of the land. There is no doubt that these gardens have played' a most important part in our plan of food conservation, and are still effective. And now again the country is called upon for a record production of food stuffs, an even greater i' possible than last year. The success of the garden campaign o

last year should spur us to renewed and greater efforts this year. There should not be an idle garden or back yard in the land. Every square foot of ground should be made to yield its quota of the food that is to win the world war. Now is the time to be planning these gardens. It is not necessary to wait until the time comes for actual planting. When that time arrives every person should have planned the entire summer's program and should know ;'cst what every foot of his ground intended to produce. Fences should be put in thorough repair, the* ground should be cleared of all obstructions and nothing but the mechanical working out of matured plans should remain to be done when spring really opens. One more thought while on this subject: Plan to not let the garden interfere with the larger J and greater work each man and woman must do in this year of supreme endeavor.. To effect this, the garden should be made a means of recreation, and should take the place of base ball, football, tennis, golf, joy-riding and other amusements. It should be the solace of the jaded business man and the tired society woman. Yes, the women will find renewed health and vigor from a few hours each day spent in gardening. w And then when we have these gardens growing and producing, let ns make a wise use of their products, that we may conserve even more meats and wheat for our heroes /‘over yonder.” and our allies who are fighting by their sides. “Garden sass” is an ideal summer diet.

WAR HYSTERIA

Nothing can be more harmful to the business life of the country than for the people to give way to hysteria over the war. There are enough disturbing factors in the business situation, growing out of the war problems, without our adding to them unnecessarily. But this we do whenever we permit thoughts of the war to obtrude into business or cause us to vacillate or hesitate over ordinary business problems. Business conditions are now more than ever subject to sudden change, hence there is all the more reason that the people keep cool and steady. But these changes are more in method than anything else, and a consistent application to business will enable us to grasp them* as they occur and continue to conduct

business in safe channels. Another thing. There are men at Washington and elsewhere who are drawing salaries for developing our war policies. Our help in this matter is not needed. We ( can render the greatest aid to our country in this crisis by making of our busi-ness-—it matters not what it may be—the greatest success possible. If we are farming, the greatest aid we can render will be measured by the size of our crops. The same in all lines. We can render absolutely no aid if we discuss the situation from now till next spring. We cam, however, help to make confusion worse confounded by abandoning ourselves to hysterical discussions and speculations. Another phase of the situation in which we should keep cool and preserve an even tenor, is in the matter of giving credence to the thousands of sensational reports circulated. Many of these are the product of idle brains and the outgrowth of the very useless discussions we have sought to discourage. The people will be informed from an authortative soureg of all matters that affect the public welfare. Sensational reports that have not the sanction of the Washington authorities should be frowned upon and discouraged. You are always safe in disbelieving and contradicting all such. Taken by and large, while conditions are not normal, still there is really no good reason for hysterical worry. Coolness and common sense, added to increased application and energy, will carry us safely through and enable our government to win out in the mam j moth —undertaking before it. - -

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

The German peace dove has more the appearance of a vulture. We forget the exact date of Villa’s last death, but anyway it must be nearly due again. We are perfectly willing that the pig should have the privilege of making a hog of himself. What has become of the oldtime doctor who advised the “eatless” cure for indigestion? “Striking a blow for America and liberty” doesn't include striking miners, ship builders and others. The order holding up the sale of hens is bringing a large supply of spring chickens from cold storage. If that German drive catches Trotsky in the net he will wish his name was Runsky or Flysky. When all of those “American dentists to the kaiser” get back home, the population of 'this country should be appreciably increased. If the shade of Old Jonah ever revisits this .mundane sphere, he must chuckle with glee at the reports that people are eating whale meat.

The kaiser says: “The. Lord pointed out to us the path by which we should go.” But it’s a safe bet the Lord didn’t tell him what awaits them at the end of the path. When other arguments fail in settling strikes, during the period of the war, a quiet intimation that those who will not work must fight might produce results. Congress should try it. When Secretary Baker stated that a half million men would be drafted before June, he surely hadn’t sized up the crowds about the pool rooms, or he would have made the number a million. Mexico has placed a tax of $8 a head on persons leaving that country for the United States. If Carranza, Villa, et al., are fair samples of the population, Mexico couldn’t please this country better than by making the tax prohibitive. If every farmer will obey the spirit of the suggestipn to keep the hens on the farm instead of selling them, and will see that every setter is supplied with a nice nest of eggs, a long step will be taken toward a greater food production. A chimpanzee in full evening dress escaped from a show in New York. When found he was mingling with the guests at a swell lobster palace. We are not informed in the dispatch how his keepers distinguished him from the other guests. Rawson, North Dakota, has no saloons, no jail, lawyers, doctors, red-light district, church, movies or pawnshop. George Bailey of the 'Houston (Texas!

in Rawson, North Dakota. Raleigh iFox, age seven, who weighs 227 pounds, was seen walking down the street in Pottersville, Mo., where he was visiting; crying because his shoes hurt and his father would not carry him. It is gratifying to the people that the government has begun to work on the food hoarders, and ij bringing to light many hoarded supplies. The good work should be kept up. But let’s not confine ourselves to the small fish and the minnows. There are some whales in the ocean that need looking after. Dollars to doughnuts, before Heney gets through with certain gentlemen dealing largely in food supplies, he will uncover a matter of hoarding that will make the country open its eyes. At ’em, Heney. , ■ : The world will watch with '’interest the outcome of the German occupation of Russia, as also the disposition the Teutonic powers will make of their agents, Lenine and Trotsky—for that these worthies have been all along working in the interest of Germany, few thinking people now doubt. If treachery is rewarded in proportion to its baseness, they should have high place in the favor of the kaiser. If Russia is really their fatherland, they must find deep consolation in. the thought that through their efforts she now lies helpless under the heel of her oppressor.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

I spent a pfennig for a rose, a groschen for some taffy, and said, “The way the money goes would drive a ifellow daffy! The cost of living keeps us hot, it’s threatening to bust us, and some one surely should be shot, if there’s such stuff as justice.” I paid a pistole for a pup, a doubloon for a daisy, and then I reared three cubits up, and said the times are crazy. “No matter what a fellow makes,” I said, my bosom bleeding, “the money goes for cats and cakes, and other things he’s needing. He cannot save a single yen, however hard he’s trying, he’s stony broke and broke again.whenever he goes buying.’’ I paid a guilder for a goose, a kroner for a cradle, a noble for a hangman’s noose, a livre for a ladle. And I was just about to say that it is past man’s powers, to put a little sum away, against the day of showers. And then my nephew said, “Dear Unk, the riot act I’m reading; if you would cut out buying junk that no sane man is needing, you’d land in Easy street, perhaps, to stay there, ere you know’ it; it’s blowing coin for useless raps that breaks an old fat poet.”

One mule buyer bought and sold 2,000 mules at ’Hfiawatha, Kansas, during 1917.
