LETTING SUNSHINE IN Reports from the west and Bcuth. declare that the growers of w heah, corn and cotton are gettius over tao deep telling of pessimibnt that prevailed a few weeks ago, when the bottom dropped out cf prices of fhc?e agricultural products. Growers appear ready ;o "pocket the lews" and try it again. No attempt can be made to deny that the farmers have lobt many millions of dollars by the slump from p rices 'which, prevailed at this time last year, and It is admitted that they have been asked to sell at prices considerably below the cost of production uu the basis la3t year. Gradually, the farmers are beginning to under;tancl that lot3es due to market conditions are not lim-

dooB bonders for somj people. It also ruins many.

The old debate as to its usefulness goes on forever. I'.ut not many folks nowadays are unwilling to giv the colleges full credit for a wonderful improvement m the general level of culture in the country. It ha been our proud boast that almost any jouns man or woman, given grit and energy, could yet a college education. This is a Mandard that e don't want to lose. Maybe it will be better to go slow iu making changes. Higher education is gre'itly prized and widely distributed among us. AVe don't want to rob the many for the sake of a lew. BACHELORS AND BACHELORETTES Should bachelors be taxed? Siueee MrH. Clara Taylor of Was-r. -ington proclaimed her theory that the ! V00.000 single men in this country ought to be eubjoet to a graduated tax of from $1 to a. year, everyone from feminist to economist has been debating the question. uch a tax. Mrs. Taylor has discovered, would yield the government an annual iucome of f-0,-L'00,000. The stand of the new women voters ib peculiar, but logical. They waut to lie taxed, too! That Is, the "bachelor girls" among them do. Let Misa Lucille I'ugh, n lawyer, state her case: "There it is again: the old double standard. Why ihouid we women be discriminated for or against in the matter c f taxation any mure than in voting? Personally. 1 firn Mire 1 would be willing to pay f 1 or 2 or -1 -". or any amount, -a j ear to injure my contluued freed on:.' It pv:u-i ciiriou.s that the so-called couole .standard should be lugged from the field of morality to tlmt of politics. Yet the tVmini.sts must certainly be contiratulated on their vigilance. 'They went after suffrage with eves open. Now they show do disposition to dodge the responsibilities which the ballot involves.

That the first act of men in fe.mi.nc. is to cat the food of their cattle, and tliereby rob their children; that the second stage cf famine is the destruction of cattle u.nd a destruction of the food of their children. It btcan.e therefore necesbary In Telgium to appeal to the voluntary support of Cu? Belgium women that they should pro-vide for their children special food outride or" their homes;

that every school -house, every public building should be turned into a gigantic nursry whnre the children would be brought once, twice or thrice daily for the'r fx)d. As a result two and rnehalf millions (Eelgion) of children were thuj fed over a period of nearly four years, and when after the armiFt.ot. v.e wer able to go into Pig:-,im and examine the result of this regime, we found that the health and welfare and physic! belrig of tv Kelglan children waa better than ever In the history of F.elsmm. That indeed was our first American intervention eheerly in the t-ame. of humanity, but at the tim we came into the war, 1917, we were forced with famine nmongst our own allies. The diversion of man power to the war, the destruction of their shippirg. the inac-csdibtllty of the markets of the southern hemisphere;-, the short,Tge of the fixd stuff for their cattle had made their condition aiiln to Belgium'., and i-.e were compelled to again Intervene to prevent st.rvat-on, this time on a s-ja of hundred and twenty millions o people, and due to lh .m; f -d n i a! of the American women, due to the e-itra exertion of the American farmer, w c n re a.ble to incrca.se our exports of food from the United States to the allies from
