Our Problem By Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Pres. Stanford University. It is surprising how few of our Americans have grasped the significance of the fact that in Australia, a country that has contributed materially to this, war, there is, as the result of at least two harvests, piled up a very large quantity of cheap and practically Government-owned wheat, much of it in the open air, where it can not be adequately protected from various kinds of damage. Yet we have had an unprecedented call upon our wheat supply in this country and in Canada resulting in a great increase in prices, due to the fact that the European nations absolutely required wheat for the sustenance of their people. The answer to this apparent anomaly is that it takes three times as long for a ship to go to Australia for food as it does t6 go to Canada or the

United States, and the world has not the shipping!

available for the long hauls because of the submarine menace and the exigencies of war. Oil and other food stocks are also piled upon

the Asiatic and African coasts awaiting shipment,

while we are using food fats in our soap because

we can not get at these stores. The most pressing problem before the United

States and the nations engaged with it in the war

against the Hohenzollern dynasty is to supply food and ships and thus defeat the German submarine attack upon the left flank of the western front. The western front simply must be maintained and must eventually be pushed forward by Americans, or there will be no final conclusion to the great catastrophe. Many of our people do not seem to realize that we have entered into the great struggle of autocracy versus democracy, and that President Wilson has said that we can not conclude a peace with any but a constituted representative of the German people. That means that we must defeat, and absolutely defeat, the most powerful war lord in all history, who has at his command

the most wonderful war machine that has ever

been devised. We can not defeat him with a pounding of drums or waving of flags or with any form of national hysteria. We can only do it by concerted action in food saving, shipbuilding, munitions making, and soldier training. The sooner we settle down to this terrible task the sooner it will be over. Every day that we delay in our grasp of our responsibilities means the loss of so many hundred or so many thousand of our own boys, who will have to go to the trenches for that mych longer period of time. If we can resolutely and successfully meet this problem in the next 12 months, it is probable than we can by that time see what its conclusion is likely to be. At the present time no man can say what will be the outcome. Germany now occupies the position of a victor. We dare not let her remain so. Every ounce of energy that we can put into the fight we must use, whether it be in the production of food, in the suppression of German propaganda, in the building of airships, in sustaining our embargo, or in carrying on our productive forms of industrial and agricultural life in the best way possible. Until we began as a people to individually take a personal interest in every phase of this war, and until the most in

teresting thing to every American when he rises in the morning is what happened on the western front the day before,, we are not only in danger, but in grim and serious danger, that autocratic forms of government will replace those in which we now take such pride and satisfaction. Shelbyville Reduces Food Deliveries Acting under instructions from the county food administrator, dealers in groceries, meats and foodstuffs in Shelbyville have cut down their deliveries to two a day. The deliveries will be made in the morning. A conference of food dealers and women showed that as high as eight deliveries were made daily to all parts of the city, incurring a heavy expense and an unnecessary burden. Both dealers and patrons said they were glad to abide by the ruling and indicated their patriotic pleasure over the agreement. That the delivery system has ceased being "service" and has become an expensive "burden" has been admitted by merchants for the last two years. They pointed out when the cost of food soared skyward that one element in the cost was the delivery system. Many of them said they would be glad to curtail the delivery system and let their patrons share in the economies that would result, but failure of all dealers to enter into an agreement voluntarily to abolish the system kept it agoing. , The war crisis has solved the problem in Shel

byville. It seems that both parties to the system

have accepted the result in good grace and be lieve that it is to their mutual advantage!

Return the Questionnaires

Questinnaire delinquents who have failed to

make returns to the selective army board can offer no excuse. Instructions on this point are specific, and the attorneys of this city are mobilized to help the registrants solve the knotty points. The decision of the board, to round them up with the police cannot be censured. The selective draft board receives no pay for its work. It is handling the task in a spirit of patriotic sacrifice. Surely the members ought to be requited with more consideration that that which many of the men are showing them. ; Every facility imaginable to expedite the return of the blanks has been placed at the disposal of the selected men. If they do not comply with the law, the board is justified in calling in the assistance of the police.

Northwest Rich in Timber

Edward Mott Woolley in McClure's Magazine.

N the Pacific Northwest stand 1 trillion feet of tim

ber. A Seattle contractor tells me that this would build a bungalow for every man, woman and child in

the Nation. Up on the North Pacific coast are 80 million acres of forests. It Is estimated that the state of Washington alone has about 400 billion feet of standing fir, cedar, pine, spruce and hemlock. In Oregon and Idaho there are 700 billion feet In 1916 the distribution of Washington lumber by ocean carriers was nearly 900 million feet. It cannot make a fair estimate of the money that lumber brings to the Puget Sound country in a year. I might guess it at several hundred million dollars. I have seen it estimated that the Washington lumber and shingles shipped by rail alone are worth 50 millions. Lumber last year represented 56 percent of the tonnage furnished Washington railroads. Of the wage earners in Washington and Oregon more than 60 perecent are engaged in lumbering operations. Wages paid in Washington and Orego for work connected with lumber stand for 59 percent of the total. Some mills have an output of 150 million feet a year. The evolution of the Pacific coast lumber industry has been in keeping with the general development. Giant machinery now handles both the logs and lumber. Steam loggers and skidders do heroic work in the woods, and steel cables lower the big logs down perpendicular mountain slopes. I heard of an ocean going log raft nine hundred feet long, drawing twenty-four feet of water.

"You are, sir?" queried Tommy, apparently amused. "Yes, I am," replied the C. O., waxing indignant. "Well, then, sir," said Tommy earn: estly, "I'll toss you, fourteen days of nothing!" "I know who has the lost money," stated the visitor. "Then why come to me?" demanded Sherlock Holmes. "I want you to get it back for me." "Who has it?" "My wife has it."

"Watson, kindly show the gentleman out," responded the astute Sherlock with a yawn. "Are you fond of country life?" "I never saw any." "What?" "Fact."

"But I thought you were going to

spend your vacation in the country."

"So I did. but I found there only a

A MODEL HUSBAND This husband never roams about ' The village street at night. This husband never scolds his wife ' Or starts domestic fight. He never twits her of her folks, Nor makes fun of her hats. Nor criticises things she cooks, ; Nor loves those household spats. He never lies to her about A single blessed thing. He does not raise derisive shout When she gets. up to sing . . He doesn't question her about The money she has -spent; He doesn't force her to account For ever last red cent This husband doesn't howl hard times Or deal in poorbouse talk. He does not act the martinet And make her walk the chalk. He does not tell her what she was Before they two were wed. No wonder he behaves himself , This husband he is dead. 'oH, PASTOR, WHO TOLD YOU? :: We bare. received a letter from a Minister, who says: ; "Our country, the grandest on earth, which has led all European nations for twenty-fjve years In matters of reform, is in peril. The Immodest and Indecent short skirts must go. They ere converting secret vice into public ice and will convert our fair land into a seething hades. Unless the tidal wave of moral laxity and social de-

I wish you would say something against this evil." Ah, no. The skirts long ago struck us speechless. We have nothing at all to say, and indeed we can say nothing. Unlike the pastor, we haven't been bothered by them. Those scientists are certainly the cheerful old boys. Last evening while sitting In front ot our ice-bound radiator we picked up a highbrow magazine and read: "Prof. Blank, a scientist connected with the University of California,

says: 'The sun has plenty of heat to

warm the earth for millions of

years'." Perhaps. But the sun lays down on the job every evening just at the very time it begins to get cold. Reading the news from Russia Is rare sport, if you don't weaken. In the morning it is true, In the evening it is untrue. In the morning it is true again. Ten years from now, perhaps, The truth about Russial will Begin seeping out. But, in the meantime. Life is too short, And we've got a family to feed..

"to hold the enemy while the division effected a change to a new line. They held the enemy but for two days he lay in the trench, his leg broken and gashed by shrapnel before the Germans were able to advance and make him prisoner. Notwithstanding three years during which the Germans systematically and brutally tried to demoralize them, the spirit of the British prisoners in Germany all honor to them is such that they do not want peace even if they have to stay there ten years more. In my observation of German methods and German policy toward prisoners and wounded I saw nothing in two years and a half that would not go to condemn the kultur and the methods of Germany, her point of .view, and

the . whole people, for this war of

frightfulness. Of the brutality and bestiality there is no doubt and there should be no doubt in the minds of all people. If the people in America were not in part ignorant of the facts there would be no delay in the enlistment of every man who can make a shift to go. Men are needed. There are thousands of British and Canadians in the United States. Why, why, don't they go? I have learned as a soldier and a prisoner how high is the cause and how high is the privilege of fighting in this war against the ruthless frightfulness of Germany

WILL NOT TAKE PACKING PLANTS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. Statements "that the United States Is planning to have receivers take over and run the packing business," as reported from Philadelphia, were denied today in an announcement by Francis J. Heney, special counsel conducting the federal trade commission's investigation into the meat packing industry. "Some of the newspapers have quoted me as stating that I intend to prosecute some of the big packers," said Heney. "I have not at any time made any such statement and, on the contrary, I have time and again stated that the department of justice has exclusive Jurisdiction in such cases."
