Th e m ayor and five an in form al saeeting M onday to discuss ths F irs t street 1 inent.

M r. K eU og then prepared an esti m ate fo r a wooden bulkhead, properly braced and tied, which would coet about $110 per 60-foot lo t. This plan was approved by the council Monday evening. I t was reported that tw o property owners w ere much averse to an im provem ent being made on that street this year, one reason being the high cost o f m aterials. I t was argued again st any delay that m aterials and labor w eald b e h igher n ext year and th at ths street, s p e c ia lly the office block, was in such a shape that som ething" had to be done. Patch in g it an expense o f 91M a block was m entioned, but tt is certain th at i f a tem porary rep air job is un dertaken the condition o f the planks an| strin gers w ill requ ire an alm ost en tirely new planking and that it can not be done fo r several tim es 9100 . A nd it would be an unsatisfactory m akeshift a t best. The ten tative estim ate on the im provem ent is about 910 e r $11 a fro n t fo o t which means possibly $650 a lot. U nder the bonding act it would re qu ire paym ents o f $66 a year and the in terest a t 6 per cen t A n oth er th in g is that Second street w ill be a hopeless w reck n ext year unless it receive* a coverin g this sum m er, but the cost would be prohibitive unless a contract fo r th at street was le t w ith one fo r the other blocks on F irs t and H all streets. Th s people in the east part o f the c ity subm itted to an im provem ent o f th eir streets last summer, which g rea tly im proved the appearance o f the town, but that im provem ent was not m ore needed than Is ths on* on F irs t and H all.

H e is rig h t ia d elag so, fa r the s a fety o f our c try ju st now is ia the hands o f farm ers. W hat I mean is not m i our sa fety and the sa fety * f our A l lies in the m atter s f food that the sa fety o f the U nited States again st fo reign invasion hangs en the decision o f the farm ers o f the fo rty - eigh t states. The tw o grant weapons in th is w ar are arm s and starvation. Ths w ar against German arm s w ill bs won or lost in F ranca t hs w ar again st star vation w ill bs won or lost In Am erica. The K aiser cannot whip the French and E nglish arm ies and the English navy w hile England has food. But it is s till possible that the German submarines m ay be able to keep food enough from reaching Engtond to sta rve bar into submission. I f ths submarines win, ths first item in the K aiser’ s term s o f penes w ill be the E nglish fle e t W ith the English fleet in his possession, the K aiser w ill be m aster o f the w orld. W hat w ill happen to us then? E v ery man who stops to think knows the answer. W e shall have m oney, food, labor, Mad,— everyth in g that ia dasir- able in the w orld except the pow er to protect what w e have. E xperts es tim ate that it w ill take us n in e months to g e t ready to m oot a G er man arm y o f even 160,000 men, w ith a rtillery. Under such circum- would the Germans trea t us better than they have already treated Belgium and France? Even i f the arm ies o f our A llie s should crush the German m ilita ry pow er this summer, b efore the abort- age o f food can ranch ths point o f want, the w orld would s till need vast quantities o f Am erican food. But i f they do not, only on* sours* can make th at ia to grow enough food on our farm s fo r ourselves and our A llies, and to put ships enough on the sea to carry th e food, ia sp it* o f ths submarine*, to th s men w h o-are figh tin g our figh t. I f the w ar Mata byroad th is sum- ■r, it w ill be the Am erican farm er ko w ill win o r loo* th e was, who w ill overoom » m ilKartaip and autoc racy, or allow them to spread and control the w orld, ourselves included. Th is is no fa n cifu l picture, but so ber fa c t. M any a man w ill maka lig h t o f it until ha comes to think it over, I venture to m y that tew w ill trea t it lig h tly a fte r carefu l th ou gh t I t is no m ore im possible than the grant W ar its e lf appeared to bo, only a fe w days b efore it began. I t is true that we can g rea tly in- ease the available food supply out o f grain now used in m aking liquors, and by radudng household waste. But when thee* tw o things are dona, and done'thoroughly, they w ill not be en ough. The final decision w ill s till rest in the hands o f the men who raise our food in the first place. The clear duty o f the N ation is to guarantee the farm ers a fa ir price fo r th eir crops when grow n, and n reasonable supply o f labor at harvest. The clear duty o f the farm er ia to raise food enough to win this w ar fo r dem ocracy against Kaiaerism . N a such responsibility has ever rested on any class o f man since the w orld began as rests today on the farm ers o f For a Month . ** B M ay i 19 19 IT 19 94 99 ’ 91 a W ea u a In Cnee The S tronger Lave U tile Lady Etleea R olling Stenea PahSc Opiaten Hen arabi* Friend Bach Fuarl a T ear V ictory a f G enerica ce 9 S 1 5 1 S 9 6 P a ahne Frederick V ivian M artin M argaerite Clark O.
