The Two Great Questions In
Conflict.
The pence treaty sceni.i to have been
sidetracked temporarily to mnko way
for the drive nrnin-it the high cost o'
living It is a natural shift, answer
Ing to nn- imperative public ili'innnil
that something be done about the fuoil
question. The public iH obviously more
concerned with fond just now than
with international nlTairH.
It appears, however, tbnt this shift
of Interest is largely due to public im
patience over delay in handling thn
pence settlement.
According to the testimony of n
newspaper which has been soundinr;
opinion on the street, in many cities,
believes there wns unnecessary delay
at 'Paris and that there is now unnec
snry delay in Washington. Ho recog
nizes that all sorts of developments
in industry and commerce lire nwail
ing tho formal wind-up of the war
that reconstruction cannot begin and
business cannot get ita stride until
something is done nbout the peace
trail y. Ilo doesn't know much about
tho merits of the German settlement,
or the league of nations covenant; but.
he Is willing to take a chance, leaving
the details to the senate, If the senate
will only net quickly.
Ratification of the treaty, In some
form or other, would certainly be a
logical beginning of tho campaign
against intolerable living expenses.
Surely there is no reason why both
cannot be handled at once.

Shower Baths For the Soldier-Farmer.
In view of the fltatement of Col.
Arthur Woods, who In head of the prov
ernmont work of re employment of
discharged soldiers and rviilors, that
98.2 per cent of former fa nil workers
nrc reluming straight to tho farm,
another report has particular interest.
That h the announcement fiom many
quarters that thesa soldier-farmers
nro demanding Improved living condi
tions on the farm. In fact, they are
apparently placing shower baths and
well-ventilated sleeping unrtor
ahead of high wages in importance.
U la said that fully HO per cent of
thrt nidn vhh have orturped to farm
work In the 1 Via warn Valley are tak
ing n firm stand for decent and com -fortahlo
living ininrterH with full
sanitary equipment.
This is going to he a fine thing for
the farm of the future not to men
tion the farm worker. It would take
n smaller percentage than that HO to
bring about radical changes in living
conditions in the rural district. P.
stands to reason that a farmer who
puts, in .shower baths for his hired men
is going to do as much for his owr
family before very long. The up-to-date
farmer takes excellent care td
his livestock and machinery. Thi-y at e
well housed, kept clean and in good
condition. It is high time he made the
same provision for excellent cars for
his workmen, for his filmily and fin
himself.
Kood waste has just as much to
with hijrh prices as food extortion.
