S0METHING-FOR-NOTHING FICTION. On bis farm near Pine City the farmer produces a bushel of potatoes. He does not need them binneif. He wishes to sell them. And there's a fellow living on Blair street, St. Paul, who needs a bushel of potatoes and wishe, to buy them, says the St. Paul Pioneer Press. -Vow. before the consumer may exchange his monev for the potatoes, several things must happen. The potatoes must b- brought to St. Paul by rail, thev must be offered somewhere for sale, and they must be delivered to the consumers Blair street home. All of these things cost money freight rates, the services of the seller, and the delivery. Sometimes we are inclined to forget thes; things to forget that in the price we pay. whether it be for a bushel of potatoes or for a new pair of trousers, we must pay for service transportation service, warehouse service, selling service and delivery service. No matter who performs it. it must be raid for. The idea that a municipality or a government may utter some magic abracadabra and waft a bushel of potatoes from Pine City to Blair street, St. Paul, without costing anybody anything belongs to Alice's Wonderland.

EUROPE'S NEED OURS TOO. Thomas W. Laniunr. just returned from Europe where he had exceptional advantage for observation, gives it as his opinion that the greatest need abroad is trained young uu-u. No doubt of it and it is America's greatest need, too, not only from the standpoint of the nation but from that of the individual as well. We seem to have remembered very clearly, indeed, that "the laborer is worthy of his hire." but we have forgotten that he is not worth more than his hire; in other words, that there is a limitation of his earning capacity. But there is, and no law, decree or decision by any man or body of men can make it otherwise. The man who sells a pound of coiiee gets more for it than the man who sells only a half pound. Right, you say, he delivered twice as much. The farmer who cultivates twenty acres earns more than his neighbor who works only half as much. Altogether proper, you say, for lie has worked twice as hard. But. the untrained or the lay man cannot Quite understand why he i-hould not be paid as much as his. 'comrade who has trained Lis mind or who works twice as hard. Always and ever, so long as the world stands, the trained man, the industrious man, will be paid more than his lazy fellow workman. Once suspend that law and the whole of civilization would go to ruin. Why? For the reason that if men are not paid according to their earning capacity and if all men are placed on an equality ff wage, the, result would be to encourage the lazy man and discourage the industrious one to the point that shortly nobody would be working more than an hour or so a day and their production would not keep the worid alive. Yes, the greaie.-t need of the day is trained young men not trained in technical and professional lines, but

trained in the gosprl of hard work, trained to believe

tha tproduction should govern pay, that. one should give an honest day's toil for an honest day's pay, trained in the rudiments of business, in honesty, fair play, and an intense desire to succeed by individual worth alone.

The Passing Show

THE SHOE SITUATION. Representatives of the shoe industry, who met r fently la an effort to curb high prices on their own products, have appealed to the trade to stop competitive buy in?, and declare that: "The cause for this situation is easily to be discovered. The stocks on the shelves of the merchants have been depleted by the lessened production made necessary by wax-time conditions. All classes of the people continue well supplied with funds and eager to obtain their U3ual supplies. The increased price so far established has not checked in any way the steadily increasing demand from the consumer. Shoe manufacturers struggling to meet the increasingly large requirements of their trade have suddenly found themselves in competition with leather buyers from Europe, seeking supplies for countries closed several years by the war. The actual and legitimate shortage of supplies has led to the bidding up of prices by these competitive buyers to the present unheard of and unprecedented level. "This situation will exist so long as the unusual export demand persists and this country's prosperous conditio ncontinues. Any further upheaval abroad, a serious labor or political disturbance in our own countrywould cause an immediate and serious reaction. "Extreme conservatism is. therefore, demanded from all branches of the trade. Tanners, manufacturers anC dealers alike recognize the situation as dangerous and unfortunate. We see iid reason to doubt, that all the world's legitimate requirements for leather can be fully supplied from usual sources, and that the equilibrium of

PERSHING'S HOME-COMING. General Pershing will return to the United States in a few weeks to receive the approval of his country-

men. Throughout th great connict in Eurone he up

held the best traditions of the American army and the high ideals of the American people. With dignity and a fine perception of the obligations resting upon him as the direct military representative of the United States,

he discharged with rare fidelity the duties which fell to

his lot as leader of the men ?n khaki. Whether he ever made that dramatic speech at the tomb of Lafayette or not, his actions throughout gave expression to the A. E. F. thought which took form in the famous sentence, "Lafayette, we are here!" His spirit was the spirit of the American army and the American people and at no time did he fail to meet public expectation, especially in the crucial days when the German horde was advancing upon Paris and h tendered without further delay, the services of the Americans already in France and arriving in constantly increasing force at every port. General Pershing has made for himself hts own niche in his country's temple of fame and will share with Grant. Sherman and Sheridan and other great military leaders Imperishable glory. He has earned the gratitude of th American people and will come back home to receive their sincere, plaudits and the high honors which congress will bestow upon him.

PRE-WAR prejudice against the United States armyuniform is making its appearance in Boston, says a major general stationed there. Which is another reason we ar glad to live in Lake county.
