GENEROUS GERMANY
Germany is exceedingly gen
erous with American real estate.
She told Mexico she might have
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona
t she would get in and scrap the
United States. She offered Japun
a generous slice of the Pacific
coast also the Philippines and
her latest proffer is a section of
the southern states to the ne
groes of the south with the
privilege of starting a black
republic for themselves. All
they had to do to get this was to
lick the United States until
(iermany waa satisfied. Salem
Capital Journal.
RAISE MORE HOGS
The Northwest is fortunately
situated in that it has the cli
mate and soil to raise crops that
will produce an enormous amount
of hogs and we believe that the
hog is the backbone of this sec
tion. We realize the drop that will
take place In most all commodi
ties that are soaring skyward at
the present time, but being fa
vored by nature as the North
west is, if we study the condi
tion of affairs, the man who is
raising hogs is bound to make no
mistake.
If it should be the destiny of
the United States to enter the
European war, many people be
lieve it will not last until the end
of the coming summer. The con
clusion of war means an imme
diate drop in the price of wheat,
for Russia is reported to have
three crops which will be released
to the world at the close of the
conflict. Hogs, in the opinion of
all traders, are sure to remain
high for the next two or three
years.
Particularly from the nations
now at war, pork will be in
great demand. Early in the war
Germany slaughtered her hogs
in order that she would not have
to feed the grain needed for her
armies. The shortage of pork in
the other countries is nearly as
bad and they will have to de
pend upon America for the next
few years, until their herds can
be rebuilt. Portland Livestock
Reporter.
THE GERMAN RETREAT
Even in the science of retreat
ing, Germany is leading the
world. - Washington Herald.
At all events, the Kaiser has
been more successful than Henry
Ford in getting the boys out of
the trenches. New York
Tribune.
Try as they may, the Allies
tan't halt the German retteat.
The Kaiser's army sweeps vic
toriously on toward home.
Philadelphia North American.
How hurried the German re
treat was is evidenced by the
fact that in some of the towns
evacuated they did not have
time to even smash the dishes.
Kansas City Times.
HOW HE WON HER
There was a young man from
Decatur
Who loved a fair lass and would
mate her,
Of course you can guess
That she quickly said "Yes"
When he bought her an entire
