MANY BUNNIES KILLED
A rabbit drive was staged at the
Sloan Thompson ranch on Butter
creek last Thursday when 4600 bun
nies were destroyed. County Agent
Calkins, who arranged for the drive,
says many more of the pests could
Jiave been taken had there been
more people present to help get the
rabbits in the corral.
Another drive was held over the
same ground Sunday when 500 more
were killed. It is estimated that
about one-half of the rabbits in that
district were killed in the two drives.
County Agent Calkins reports that
sifter careful checking of results in
the rabbit campaign so far it appears
that about 110,000 of the pests have
been accounted for.

WAR'S HORRIBLE WASTE
Mr. K. C. LcfliiiKwell was the as
sistant secretary of the treasury In
charge of finances during the war.
While he was in the treasury he he
came deeply impressed with the mag
nitude of government expedltures and
the looseness, inefliciency and waste
that are a part of government meth
od. All the secretaries of the treas
ury since the outbreak of the war
have shared this feeling of apprehen
sion and concern with Mr. Lefling
well. I quote here a recent utterance
of his on war expenditures :
'"Of the $4,0(K),0(XUK0, exclusive of
interest on the public debt, spent in
the fiscal year 1021, $1,101,01 5,013.32
was spent by the War department,
$(5iiO,373,8Hn.riS by the Navy depart
ment, $800,000,000 on the railroads,
$230,000,000 by the bureau of war risk
insurance, nnd $3,r7,SU.8!7.01 by the
Interior department, mostly, I take it,
for Civil war and Spanish war pen
sionsa total of $3,0S0,0O0,0OO under
these heads.
"In the fiscal yenr 1020 the War de
partment spent $1,610,000,000, and the
Navy department $7-10,000,000, a total
of $2,350,000,000. Secretary Mellon
estimates that in the fiscal year, 1021,
the War department will spend $1,025,
000,000, and the Navy department
$700,000,000, a total of $1,725,000,000;
and that In the fiscal year, 1022, the
War department will spend $570,000,
000, nnd the Navy department $545,-
000,000, a total of $1,115,000,000. This
makes a three-years' total of $5,190,
000,000. "Germany went to war to realize on
her investment in arms and armies.
The burden of universal military serv
ice, expenditures on the army and
navy, subsidies and doles, became In
tolerable. She thought she would re
peat the exploit of 1S70 and make war
so profitable in territory and indem
nities as to recoup herself for the
outlay of 40 years' preparation. The
splendid resistance of the l'.elgians and
the French and of the little Iiritish
expeditionary force made the short
war a futile dream. The untrained
manhood and unmortgaged resources
of the Western World, of the Uritish
empire overseas, and finally of Amer
ica, determined the issue. Germany
suffered economic collapse, though her
armies, beaten but not routed, were
still on enemy soil. So Germany's
military preparedness was her cause
for making war and was the cause of
her defeat. In the issue, it was eco
nomic preparedness that mattered
most.
"Today, men, women nnd little chil
dren are starving ty death in Europe be
cause of the war's horrible waste and
because of the still more horrible waste
of nfter the war. Two years and a
half after aimlstice, nearly two years
nfter pence was concluded between
Germany and the allies, millions of
men are under arms, eating and wear
ing the produce of the fields nnd of
the labor of a civilian population
which must bear the load of taxes and
inflation necessary to maintain those
armies in economic idleness. The peo
ples of continental Kurope are stag
gering under the load of armaments,
far too great before the war and in
tolerable now. Their rulers hold them
selves lu power by subsidies and doles,
by playing, now on their fears, and
again on their avarice, still again on
nationalistic ambitions or ancient ra
cial hatreds. The allies have under
taken to Insure Germany's economic
recovery by insisting upon her disarm
ament and the payment of reparation
which means the development of a
huge export balance; but for them
selves they reserve the doubtful privi
lege of remaining armed to the teeth. . .
"We have demonstrated our mili
tary power. We have shown what
may be done In a few short months
to make an army and transport It to
wage a foreign war. We have no need
to be nggressors abroad, we are Invul
nerable at home. Let us accept the
responsibilities of the position of lead
ership which Is ours, show the world
how to tieat swords Into plow shares,
relieve the peoples of the world of ap
prehension and lend them back Into
the ways of pi-ace and plenty. If we
prepare for war we shall have it. If
we lend the world lu preparation for
peace we may have that."
