better for himself and his community
by means of a recent act of congress
'to stimulate the production of food',
by means of bringing all the arable
public and private land within the
reclamation projects of the depart
ment of the Interior under effective
cultivation, by means of co-operative
methods. Hundreds of thousands of
acres of land will get the benefit of
this, and their output will be a big
factor In mitigating the world's food
crisis due to the war.
The principle of cq operation that
must be applied to all our activities
throughout the war and for all time
after the war. Remember always
that there are two kinds of co-operation,
one enforced by the state and
the other voluntarily effected by In
telligent men who know what they
want for themselves and what they
must do for their fellows. To avoid
the former we must make success
ful the latter."
AX HOXEST DRAFT
THE FIFTY DOLLAR BOXD
In issuing Liberty Loan bonds In a
denomination as small as $50 the
secretary of the United States treas
ury has put It In the reacn of almost
every American citizen to do a real
and actual service to his country.
Not all can fight, not all can render
personal service in other ways, but
those who are denied the privilege
of serving their country In person
have the privilege of serving her by
lending their money to win her vic
tories. But it is not patriotism alone that
urges the buying of Liberty Loan
bonds. Thrift and a wise economy
in investing small savings commend
these Liberty Loan bonds to small In
vestors. They are safe, and consider
ing their tax-free quality free from
all federal, state and local taxes (In
heritance taxes excepted) and free
from any war tax that may hereafter
be levied, affording an absolutely net
Income of 3 per cent,, they consti
tute an Ideal Investment for savings.
Nor Is there any reason for wait
ing for a later bond Issue in the ex
pectation of a higher rate of Interest
being obtained, for the law provides
that should such bonds be Issued lat,
er, Liberty Loan bonds may be ex
changed for them at par.

AX ERA OF CO-OPERATION
The secretary of the Interior, Mr.
Lane, In an interview in the New
York Times of May 6, discusses the
nation's war plan. Of particular in
terest are his remarks on co-operar
tion In Industry, as compared with
the anarchic Individualism which has
marked previous times, but no longer
serves. Mr. Lane says, In part:
"We are Just beginning in the
United States on this work of broad
gauge organization and co-operation.
The war has waked us up to the ne
cessity of It. It has shown beyond
all question that a democracy cannot
rest on economic anarchy and the
great test for us is going to be to
get rid of such anarchy.
,"We cannot continue to blunder
along under conditions which make
for a shortage of labor In one section
of the country and enforced idleness
In another part; of scarcity and high
prices of a commodity here and of
quantities of that same comodlty go
ing to waste elsewhere.
"The war Is going to teach us how
to put an end to these things and.
after the war, we are going to pro
duce more wheat, more steel, more
everything, than ever before and
with less waste than ever before. But
It is going to be a hard lesson.
"It is no reflection on our society
to admit that we need reforming, for
It took such a tremendous thing as
this war to make the need manifest
to ourselves. We have, without real
izing It can-led Individualism to the
point of Belflahness where It was In
danger of defeating Itself. Now we
will conserve Individualism and In
dividual Initiative for this country by
showing its proper limits as marked
by the absolute necessity of co-operation.
"For an Illustration, the farmer
lias been the most Individual thing
In the United States. We are show
ing him the way to something far
Within a few days the. machinery
for wholesale conscription of our
young men will be set in motion. The
American people are" hoping that the
operating of that machine will be free
from any taint of scandal.
Perhaps the handling of the draft
ing machinery will be absolutely Im
partial and incorruptible. Still that
would not always have been possible.
It Is not many years ago that the
making of registration lists or elec
tions was badly tainted, tfames were
enrolled of men that had been dead
for years, and the politicians brought
in gangs from other states to vote
on those names. All kinds of frauds
were worked off on an indifferent
public.
Today popular sentiment Is strong
against these methods, and the poli
ticians do not dare employ them so
i mL - . i i
uiuuii. inn are iuo many riBKs
about It. It lo cheaper to manipulate
legislation through lobbies. But no
doubt there are still plenty of elec
tion officials who are still purchas
able. Some of the draft clerks might
be open, to quiet influence, accom
panied by the sufficient consideration
to see that this or that name was
accidently omitted.
It is not likely that this thing will
take place on any considerable scale.
Public sentiment would be so bitter
against It that comparatively few of
ficials would dare try It. However,
if there are anywhere any dishonest
men In charge of this drawing they
will note the penalties provided by
the act. They should also remember
that conviction for this offense would
be accompanied by a peculiar Ig
nominy. Where people might toler
ate an election fraud they will be
very bitter against this form of pref
erence, and will favor the limit of
penalty for It. In view of this it
seems likely that efforts to corrupt
the draft will be rare so that we shall
get a very honest conscription. It is
absolutely necessary.

Official Bulletin
Covers U. S. Doings
Washington, D. C, June 4. Many
misunderstandings have arisen with
regard to the Official Bulletin, which
Is being Issued by the Committee of
Publio Information- under order of
the president. This publication is not
a newspaper In the accepted sense of
the word. Its single purpose is to
assure the full and legal printing of
the official announcements of govern
ment heads in connection with gov
ernmental business.
Exclusive publication Is not Its
thought or ambition. It will not la
terfere with the legitimate functions
of the press In any manner, nor will
official news be delayed or withheld
in order to give the Bulletin any
special news significance.
In the columns of the Bulletin It
is proposed to publish proclamations
and executive orderB of the president;
rules and regulations whieh the vari
ous heads of the executive depart
ments and other government estab
lishments are authorized and directed
by various statutes to make and pro
mulgate; administrative orders and
rules framed and Issued by each de
partment or government establish

It is the little things that count.
The following effuluslon (coined
word, patent applied for) was sob
bingly indited to us by a young man
acquaintance of ours who came rush
ing down out of the park the other
day, wild-eyed with bitter disappoint-ment:
She seemed so endearing;
He noticed her matchless hair;
Her incomparable complexion;
Her dreamy eyes;
Her refreshing cheek;
Her model-like features
Which he thought only
A sculptor could fashion;
Her summery attjre;
Her maddening perfume,
Which made his blood
Surge through his veins.
And as he eat beside her,
It seemed impossible to him
That he should refrain
From crushing her loveliness
Against his heart.
But he' did refrain;
And suddenly
She bent over
(The plot thickens)
To Inspect a grass stain
Which besmeared the whiteness
(Not of her neck but)
Her trim, modish tennis shoe.
Then:
His gaze followed her hand,
And his horrified eyes noticed:
A small hole
In her silken hosiery.
(That was the climax.)

He grabbed his hat
And
Sought other fields
For his devotion.

Her roughened hands are never seen
At Red Cross bandage) making
bees;
She does not march with martial

She hates the war across the seas.
She cannot buy a slnglo share
Of loan bonds to aid liberty;
She has not got a cent to spare
To aid In making nations free,
But though she tolls from morn to
night,
Hex hands immersed In suds and
clothes,
She's done her bit to aid the right
And conquor o'er her nation's foes.
She cannot march, she cannot sew,
And yet among them all not one
Has given half as much, I know.
She's done her bit she gave a son.
