The musical comedy “ Fafm erette" is now as familiar r.n institu­
tion as the musical comedy bathing girl.
Hawaiian giris. harem girls, golfing girls, military girls, base
ball gills, ami bathing girls, of coutse. Each costume change means
a different song, and as each show carries about the same assortment
the rotation becomes monotonous. So they invented the stage farm­
erette in silk overalls with a hvfork like an overgrown fly swatter.
In the meantime, at the Stat * Normal School of Agriculture. Wis­
consin, a young lady, whose name is withheld, went through the
course like a rip saw through a plank. Siie mixer! concrete in most
of the standard forms, and investigated grades of wheat for stripe
ergot and smut; si e studied surveying, and platted a 340 acre farm;
she made elaborate milk tests, wrote theses on stock breeding, inhaled
the science of crop-routine, and. for some inartistic reason, made a
specialty of pigs. That the young lady was raised on a farm is not
•considered by the faculty
e mtributing in a great measure to the
profundity of her*condition.

There are plenty (¡¿ore like her in Wisconsin, and. thank Heaven,
there are still more outside Wisconsin. It is type of Farmerette that
interests us quite as much as the musical comedy kind. Show troups
don’t flock much in Stavton, but we have girls who can don overalls
(not silk ones) and take the place of the boys as effectively as the
most boyish chorus girl that Broadway ever generated.
Cleaning a hog pen is not an elegant job. And there is little
elegance in washing vermjn from the filthy body of a wounded
soldier—a commonplace in the daily experience of a Red Cross girl.
Not many duties are more unsavory—or more sacred, and the picture
needs no spotlight to illuminate its glittering moral.
We hear a good <1 al about taxes on gasoline, and hope that a
time is not coming when the millionaire joy-riding with chorus girls
and the farmer plowing with a trai tor will be mistaken for the same
individual.
In all budget proposals affecting gasoline due attention should
hc'given to the purp ;e for which the fluid is used. Without dele­
gating a secret s i vice man to each larmcr with instructions to
watch what he doe with each pinjr of it, there should be some way
of making a distinction in favor of the tractor.
In Livingston county. Illinois, a crop bureau official lately saw a
farmer with four wagons hitched to a tractor and a fifth wagon on
behind with a team hauling oats to the elevator. The load was 6(H)
bushels, and Hie proc
on was traveling at about five miles an hour
—which leaves a snuj -I c problem for the student of economies to
work out, if he w i.it- - »mo figures on the time saved by q tractor.
Tax the tractor; but be consistent, and tax also the machinist’s
chisel, the barber’s razor, and the miner’s pick.

WHO SAID PEACE?
If there is any one in tm* world who wants to fight, he is not
representative of the majority in any nation and especially in the
nations that have had lots of fighting. All of the belligerent nations
want peace. But no one has heard the entente or the United States
ask for peace at any time since the war stated.
Germany suggested peace after her first great success. As soon
as she grabbed a lot of land she suggested peace. The allies were
not willing for Germany to have peace at a time like that so they
fought on. Now Germany is still holding lots of territory but is in
a fair w ay to lose it and she is making peace overtures. For Germany
it would be better for her to get peace now than after the allies have
taken back the territory she conquered but for the allies it is dif­
ferent. .Germany was ready for the fight and took the lead early in
the war. The allies are getting ready now and will probably come
to a point some of these days when they can talk peace with a little
more pleasure. It is certain that Germany has not reached the point
where she would be willing to the kind of peace the allies are fighting
for. It will he necessary to fight to where Germany is willing to do
anything the allies want to give anil then there will be peace.
The offer eomes through Austria, the weaker nation, and if it
were left to Austria she might be willing to do most anything to
have peace, but Germany is not willing. When Germany gets as
weak as Austria is she will think of peace in a different manner.
Germany has offered Belgium peace, probably thinking that Belgium
might he weary and would give up rather than continue to fight.
The peace that Germany gives a conquered nation is not verv in> it
ing, as Russia has found out to her sorrow. Poor Belgium is made of
different stuff than the Ru.-sian. She cannot be guided like the poor
ignorant Russians. Belgium will fight as long as the allies are in
the field. Poor bleeding Belgium will have her day in the war. At
the peace table the allies will listen to Belgium and remember her
plight and the price she hrs paid. By this time next year Germany
may be willing to talk peace, the kind the allies want. It will be the
kind that puts Prussian militaiy power out of power. Germany
could have that kind of perec now if she wants it. The allies an*
willing.—Albany Herald.
