THE BUSINESS DEATH RATE.
Bankers express surprise at th
small numlber. of (business failures
that have betaken place during the
roast year. It is remarkable that so
great a readjustment of the country'!
business was accomplished with so
little disaster.
Thousands of email businesses
'have iiad to be closed up. Ordinarily
when a business is forced to stop, the
assets have to be closed out at a sac
rifice. If the concern was operated
on bororwed) capital, this frequently
moans that there Is not enough mon
ey to jay the debts.
One thing w-hlchi of . course has
(helped, is that pricoB are 'high on all
"kinds of merchandise. Any one who
line had -good stock on hand of es
sential material has been able to dis
ipose of It at good prices. That has
helped many struggling little con
corns that had to stop, to realize a
(fair -price on their assets.
This moans a good deal to thous
ands of young men who have been
drafted, or who enlisted. A fellow
will flBlit with a good deal lighter
heart knowing that he has been able
to wind up his affaire at home with
out sacrifice.
The banks are considered to have
handled the situation skillfully, sr
as to keep down the number of fail
ures. Thoy have had a ticklish sit
uation to meet, and we are not wholly
through t-lio woods yet. It Is a time
to discourage ajwculntlon. People
wno want to uorrow money to oper
ate on the stock market should get
the cold stare. But every man who
Dun a little business that he needs to
close out should he given' all possible
accommodation to help ihlm do It
without sacrifice. Im so for ns this
c.in be done, it will give everyone bet
ter courage for the difficult read
justment after the war.
The fact that Einporor Wllhelm
wunts honorable iionce ' Ib the ns
eurance that our allies will handle
tho Job, for who ever heardi of any
thing honorable coming from the
kalBor and other Gorman military
lords.
Gorinany's pence overtures nro a
llttlo obsolete. Tho "made in Ger
mnny brand" has beon taken oh the
Jiinrkot (ong ago over on tills side of
the water.
Every person who consciously fur
tbors German wnr alms Is guilty with
Germany of baby killing, hospital
lUomuiug mid all thoso othor atroci
ties. The aoll-deulal of the American
homo, added to tho efforts of tho
American farmer, have removed fear
from the minds of our allies, for this
year, at least: Lot'ti keep It up.
Pood saving was at first a fiull;
then a patriotic sorvlco; now a habit
ought to bo. ,
'Happy Is tho bocho who succeeds
in surronderiug.

American labor may well felicitate
Itself upon having had the good sense
to refuse to be corrupted by German
socialistic Influences. ' r :
It is as much the duty of the con

Below are excerpts from a most
inspiring sermon given by Rev. J. C.
Spencer at the Methouist church Sun
day, morning. Patriotism such ae
1Mb, tough from the pfulpit, bears
with it the purest and most u-tgniflc-ant
ideals:
"The latest dispatches tell us that
Prince Maxlmillian, the new Ger
man chancellor has stated that the
fourteen articles published by Presi
dent Wilson as a basis of poace are
acceptable to Germany, and the
Austro-flungarian prime minister
has . uttered similar sentiments.
There la danger that war-woary peo
ples will make fatal concessions, that
selfish nations will be willing to bar
ter territory as the price of peace,
that greedy merchants and manufac
turers will urge peace, in the hope
that, with Germany unconqucred
war with its accompanying war-
prices and war-profits will be renew
od In a few years, or that chief tx-
ecu lives of the allied' nations Will be
deceived by the false protestations
and promises of Germany.
; "Now, If ever, is the time for the
church of Jesus Christ to say that
there shall be no peace until the
last vestige of Prusslanlsm Is banish
ed from the. earth. An exactly siini
lar situation occurred in thn history
of ancient Israel, when God sent
King Stuul to crush the Amelekltes
under King Agag. Hut Hun l spared
the king's life, and! the best of the
spoils of war, but Samuel 'hewed
Agag in pieces before Jehovah.' The
church stands for peace, but peacels
not possible while a Hononzollern
sits on the throne of Germany, and
any one who stooipa to treat with the
central allies before every wrong is
righted so far as Die past can be
righted, is a traitor to the cause or
liberty in the earth, and casla con
tempt on the priceless blood of the
millions who have died that free
dom might not perish from the nai th
There must fbe no compromise."

Newspapers which have tuken
dolight In criticizing laundries, espe
cially when prices are increased,
will find food lor thought in the ro-
cont announcement that the govern
ment has set aside $5,754,090 to es
tablish laundries In all tho principal
army camps und cantonmentB, the
uvorage cost of each of which will
lie $150,000. In tho words of the
.lemphlg (Commercial Aipcnl, one
of the few papers that show any
fvplrit of fairness toward laundries,
the announcement will bo welcome
nows to the soldiers, whose 'wasti
ng' has been1 one of the trials of
camp life. The murchlng, tho drill
ing, the trench ddgging, were nil
iiutnly arts, but the washing was a
peclcs of indoor sport that got the
proverbial 'goat' of tho young fellow
who nevor hnd rinsed out a pocket
hiindkerchlof. Even kitchen work
did not Bcem so nicnliil, nothing hut
strict obedience to discipline kept
Iho murmurs back. And it was a
queer thing, but tho mothers at
home regretted this duty moro than
any other. Thoy rigidly expected
obedience to rules but the regret wafl
often hoard, Mr only they did not
havo to wash their clothes!' So tho
new order will carry joy to tho home
people ns well as the enlisted men.
The latter will gel. rid or an Irksome
task, and- nt the same time have
cleaner clothes than they could turn
out. No money tho government

Why FISHER'S
BLEND Flour?
The Government has advanced the
price of J Oregon and Washington
Wheats.
To meet this advance manufacturers of
Oregon aud Washington Wheat flours have
increased their prices, until there is little if any
difference hetween the price of Oregon and
Washington Wheat Flours and that of
FISHER'S BLEND.
The superior quality of FISHER'S
BLEND as compared with other flours is
absolutely the same now as before.
Just as in pre-war times FISHER'S
BLEND is made of choicest Eastern Hard
Wheat and choicest Washington Bluestem.
If it was economy in pre-war times to
pay more for FISHER'S BLEND
than for other flours, certainly it is
greater economy now to buy it at
practically the same price for which
other flours sell.
FISHER'S BLEND is the ideal flour to
use with Wheat Substitutes. These substitutes
lack a balanced gluten. They require mixture
with a strong wheat flour.
FISHER'S BLEND is a strong wheat
flour.
FISHER'S SUBSTITUTES, including
Fisher's Corn Flour, Fisher's Milo Maize
Flour, Fisher's Barley Flour and Fisher's Com
Meal, work perfectly with FISHER'S BLEND
Flour because the same painstaking care is
used in the manufacture of the one as in the
manufacture of the other.
