Th e m ayor and five
an in form al saeeting M onday
to discuss ths F irs t street 1
inent. Th e plans o f C ity
K eU og fo r this im provem ent origin al-
ty contem plated a cone
on the south side o f the street fo r the
w est h a lf o f the blocE between
and W illa rd , b a t whan the
w ere prepared showing an expense o f
1600 fo r a 60-foot lo t fo r this item
alone, not m entioning the sidewalk,
concrete base and coverin g, it was de
cided to be too expensive fo r the prop
e rty to afford.
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

In this g rea t tim e, when every d t-
iaea must do M s part, the President
has asade Ms ch ief appeal to the awn
who liv e ea the Mad. 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
