buy all the candy you want?

MORE LAND FOR FOOD
b)iai harlwMMieA
id stumo-nulline have been the
;iief features of life in certain rural
istrictt in Georgia recently. The
Jeorgia Bute College and the Unlt
;1 States department of aglrculture.
ided y the railroad administration,
land owners' association and v ar
ras machinery and Implement coV
: eras have been giving the feasts and
, hows.
t It has become very Important to
; pen up a' lot of waste land for culti
; at ion, and the organizations men-
loned above have been carrying on
; in active campaign to teach the rural
: jopulaOon the need of land clearing,,
ts methods and benefits. ' Stump

pulling do no soliciting of sales or
j selling during the exhibition. Na
turally they are glad enough to
make sales later. But the campaign
is an educational, not a commercial
one. .
j Refreshments are frequently serv
ed free, and in the evening the mov
ing picture show finishes off a well
i spent day with a little wholesome
(entertainment.
( Of course, clearing the land will
not do much good unless it Is actu
ally used to increase production after
it is cleared. That is just what the
average farmer is ready to do in
very part of the country. With the
modern farm tractor to help him out
he can take care of more land and
raise more and better crops in a sea
son than ever before.
There is lots of material in Ore
gon for stump-pulling contests.
j THE PRESIDENT
5 There is naturally a great deal of
concern about the condition of Presi-!
i dent Wilson. The health of a man
I occupying so great a position is,
I quite aside from alt personal inter-
l est, of Importance to the whole na-
; tion In a thousand ways. At this
time, too, because of the internation-
i al position the president has occu-
pied, it is of unusual importance to
ail the rest of the world.
! There is probably more concern
j than there need be about the matter
because of the mystery that has been
j made of it. The motives of the
president's physicians and of his
family and close associates are
doubtless of the best. They do not
want to cause any undue alarm; and
. so, while hoping for the best, they
say as little as 'possible, lest it be
misconstrued. But the trouble 'is that
their silence has been misconstrued.
There is little to gain by suppres
. el on .of the full facts. If there is s
good prospect of the president re
. "covering and resuming his duties
nrlthin any reasonable length of time,
the public ought to know It for the
reassuring effect It will have on pol
itics, business and other activities.
If the ailment Is of such a nature as
.to Involve a probable or possible In-'

capacity for the rest of his term of
office, then particularly the tact
should be announced, in order that
proper measures may be taken to
carry on the heavy and responsible
work of the executive department.
Such practical considerations; 'i
need hardly be added, are not at at!
incompatible with te sincere sym
pathy felt with the president anl
his family hy the whola nation.

Alton E. Briggs of Boston, presi

and Butter association, predicts a
race of super-chickens. A new type
of hen, he says, is being bred al
ready, and is destined to attain a
size as large as that of the turkey,
with ggs two or three times their
present size.
More wonderful still, he explain!,

the cost will not be much more than
people are paying for poultry and
eggB at the present time.
The giant-chicken prophecy may
find credence, but who can believe
the rest of it? ( Of course those super-chickens
and snper-egioi will be
sold by super-profiteers at super-prices.
Somehow It doesn't seem quite fair
tor the W -C. T. V. to declare war
on the dgaret and yet tolerate the
Pittsburg stogie--not to mention
the campaign cigar and the over-ripe
pipe?
The preacher who saved $50 to go
to the world's series games, nnd
then gave it to help build a new
church, certainly deserves a heaven

One of the most famous warrior

fense for Japan and his success in
annexing Korea and the swim Hat Inn
of the Korean people into the Jap

colony. The results he attained In
Korea had marker Mm as a com
manding figure and one to be reck

ot the Japanese empire. i
Called by the emiwor to become
premier in the course of a! passionate
struggle between the forces of rejw

as the for ii h.
Small In stature and modest in ap-
uearanre. Count Terancfol combined
with keen military knowledge a large
rapacity for statesmanship and pow
er of leadership. Ills aversion to
politicians coat him many friends.
As premier he announced that hl
aim would be to promote friendly
ties between Japan and the t'nlted
States, that he had no Intention of
"waving the sword" at America and
that he accepted the office "as a
statesman seeking the lasting Inter
ests of his people; not as a militarist
seeking glorification by the sword:"
