FARMER MORE IMPORTANT THAN SOLDIER

Note The following editorial directing attention to the necessity of Increased production is reproduced from the New York American. The condition of the winter wheat crop as reported by the government on Saturday is nothing leBs than appalling. It shows a general condition only 63 per cent, perfect This is the lowest average condition of winter wheat .n the United States in nearly thirty jears. At this time, when the demand for

food from belligerent countries has raised prices in this country for wheat to the highest level since the Civil War our own winter wheat crop Fails. By far the larger crop in the United States is the spring wheat crop of the great Northwestern States, called "the granary of the world." K is hoped, of

course, that this crop may be lncreas

ed. If not, it would seem that ven na

ture is hostile to the human race. Russian Product Reduced. Russia, the second largest producer of wheat in the world, with twelve million men under arms, is barely able by the labor of her women and old men to produce enough to feed the home population and the armies. The Russian revolution, beginning in food riots, was more a protest against starvation than against czardoro and autocracy. A starving people cares little for forms of government and Is no respecter of emperors. Prance and Italy, as well as England, would be In the same plight except for the wheat and corn from America. Argentina, upon which the consuming world has long relied, has Just put an embargo on exports of wheat and floor to protect her own people against the rising cost of living. In truth, the great war has brought the whole world, neutral nations as well as belligerents, to the verge of economic exhaustion. The financial resources of Europe have failed, the man resources of Europe are falling; the food resources of the civilized world will fall within the next year unless nature is more bountiful this Summer than ever. No one should be deceived about this. Our food resources are fapidly ebbing away. Extend to Farm Products.

Onr preparations for war, which must be on a colossal scale in proportion with the maximum possibilities of the situation, must not stop with the Army and the Navy and the Treasury departments. They should be extended at once to the agricultural departments,' upon which every other department of government and of life Itself depends. We raise normally 15 or IS bnshfls of wheat to the acre on the richest soil for wheat, taken all in all, in the world. Germany, with a soil exhaust

ed by centuries of use, by Intensive cultivation and artificial fertilization, raised her normal product to more 1han 30 bushels to the acre before th war. If we could do as well, we would raise two billion bushels of wheat ir.ptpad of one billion. At current prices on tho farm this would be worth three HlMons of dollars. Far above the vrnfce in profits would be the lessenVfi rrt of "the staff of life" to all. " The British Government last week

t1's-"o clays before our Agriculture Dr-

OTlmrnt report was published recognizee the seriousness of the situation by ordering, through the British Food Controller, that beginning next Sunday wheat shall be ground whole eveiyw here in England, making Graham bread instead of white: that all restaurants, hotels, boarding houses and clubs shall serve no meat whatsoever one day of the week; and that no potatoes shall be allowed except on Friday and the meatless day. Privations are in Store. If the war lasts another year, we shall all know privations we have never known before. The world will have to adapt its appetite to new kinds of food and most of the world will fcave to get along with less of it -vlll In short be threatened with starvation. Such is the result of withdrawing twenty millions of men from PRODUCTION, making them DESTROYERS. Under the compulsion of the war the great nations of Europe have adopted measures so radical that not even the most extreme socialist would have dared to propose them before the war.

In England the State control of railroads. Compulsory registration of all men and women between fifteen and sixtyfive years to ascertain the fitness of every individual for fighting, nursing, farming or munition making. Military training of all boys over seventeen. All coal mines seized by the Government and operated for the benefit of the nation, their owners receiving payment In the form of interest for the actual value of the property taken. In both England and France a Ministry of Labor, controlling wages in case of industrial disqute. Select Business Leaders. Foremost business men of each nation put at the head of transportation, ehipping, finance and production of taw materials; men like Judge Gary,

Julius Rosenwald, Charles M. Schwab, Henry P. Davison, James B. Duke, John Wanamaker, Michael Friedsam, E. P, Ripley, commandeered by the Government; without asking their consent, the greatest geniuses of the nation and organizers of success taken out of their private businesses and put in absolute Control of PUBLIC BUSINESS. . -. : . Food controllers to stimulate production of -things most needed and to fix prices. Three million women in England and n-ore than four million In France drawn into employments hitherto monopolized by men. , Some of these measures will be adopted in the United States and will be applied to YOU. First we are to have TRIPLE TAXATION. That will be done within a month. And that is only the first step.

SQUEAKS

From the editor's swivel chair

Has anyone devised a way of mobilizing the bens and impressing upon them the importance of Increased production? A press notice says, "If you want to see June Caprice in overalls go to" a certain theatre. But what's the use in remarking again that Audrey Munson was here in "Purity " . Pity the poor fellow who had been planning for the last year to get married this spring. Now he will he called a slacker along with the rest of the war grooms. 'Have you learned yet how to display the flag properly?

Somebody remarked, "If everybody

marches In the patriotic parade, who is going to watch it?" Never worry, there will be thousands upon thousands of persons in

Richmond Monday. No, that was not on insurrection at Boston; just the police at target practice south of the city.

Some rules. which are always bobbing up at inopportune times would probably be forgotten if a German army came marching into the city from the Epst.

Let's have some of that kind patriotism in the parade Monday.

DANDRUFF MAKES HAIR FALL OUT

25-cent bottle of "Danderine" keeps hair thick, strong, beautiful.

Girls! Try this! Doubles beauty of your hair in few moments.

GOOD BLOOD Given good, clean, healthy blood, Nature will do the rest with any case of catarrh, inflammatory rheumatism, scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, boils, pimples, or skin diseases of any kind. Good blood invariably means vigorous appetite, good digestion and strength. Thus It stands to reason that an effective "alterative" or blood purifier, while it will not cure all diseases, will help in fighting any disease, and will relieve those mentioned above, all of which comes from bad blood. Forty years ago Dr. A. B. Simpson of Richmond, Ind., wasknown as one of the most successful physicians in three states. His success was founded almost exclusively on one prescription, the most powerful blood purifier ever known. This prescription is regularly put up as Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Compound. It has been used extensively all over the country, and in forty years ha" never failed to do good. Simpson's Vegetable Compound is harmless as it is effective. It is sold at $1 per bottle at all drug stores. Adv.

For those who do not like to have their names in the paper the following rules to avoid publicity are sug

gested: Commit murder or suicide (murder Is better as the suicide can not see his name after he is dead), get arrested for intoxication or speeding, go in the movies, subscribe to a relief fund, donate a garden to the Civic garden association, etc. Speaking of conservation, suppose 60,000 persons spend three hours each Monday afternoon taking part in and watching the parade, that makes 150,000 hours or approximately 17 years.

But we will all be there; every one of us.

What the Chambers Fireless Cooking Gas Range Docs SAVES ONE-HALF THE GAS On the Chambers range, gas is needed only long enough to heat the fireless cooker, hood or oven and to start the cooking process. Then the gas is turned off and the cooking proceeds without further expense. SAVES TWO-THIRDS OF THE COOK'S TIME After the cooking is under way and the gas turned off, no further attention is required. Then the housewife is free to do other things go downtown, go visiting, or attend to any of her many other home tasks. COOKS THE FOOD BETTER The fireless method of the Chambers range conserves the juices and flavors of meats and vegetables. Cheaper cuts of meats are made as savory and tender as the higher priced ones and food bills, in consequence, may be materially reduced.
