THE PRESIDENT WAS KIGIIT!
"An overwhelming majority of the
American people is in favor of the
League of Nations."
President Wilson read the public
mind aright when he made this state
ment on the eve of his departure for
his second official visit to France.
His critics would have it appear
that he did not correctly interpret the
attitude of Uic American public, out
the people are letting it be Known
that an "overwhelming majority"
favors the League of Nations and
are standing squarely behind him in
his effort to bring lasting peace to a
blood-stained and war-weary world.
Several newspapers have recently
taken "straw votes" in their com
munities, and invariably the result
has been that more than three out of
four persons questioned have declared
themselves unqualifiedly for the
League. But probably the most sig
nificant reflection of the public's atti
tude toward the plan is shown In a
nation-wide poll of the country's
newspapers taken by the Literary
Digest.
Immediately after President Wilson
had declared his conviction that an
overwhelming majority of the people
of America favored the League of
Nations, the Literary Digest sent to
the editor of every daily newspaper
in the country a letter asking his atti
tude toward America's joining the
proposed League of Nations, and al
so to define, if possible, the attitude
of his community toward it.
The response broke all records.
Prompt replies came from 1,377 edi
tors. Of this number, 718 declared
unqualifiedly for America's member
ship in the League, and only 181 voted
"No." The remainder, 478 in num
ber, sent "Yes, conditional" ballots;
Ihoy favored the League of Nations
with certain changes.
The Literary Digest's "straw vote"
of the daily newspapers thus shows
that there is a substantial majority un
qualificdly for the League of Nations;
that an overwhelming majority is for
the plan with certain amendments;
that only a very small minority is op-
I posed to America's entering the
League, and that President Wilson
I was eminently right.
I The poll is significant, not only be
cause newspaper cidtors arc in a posi
tion to know the sentiment of tho
people of their community, but be
cause in many instances they went
to the trouble to take refcrendums on
their own account before sending in
their replies.
Americans want the League be
cause, as one editor put it, it is "our
only hope against another devasta
ting war," while another argues "we
must join a League of Nations or
spend millions for defense," for un
less we do "we will go on to a mili
tary basis and keep up high taxes."
Methodist Church Notes
A Sunri. o Prayer meeting, held at
mx o'clock, on Sunday morning,
participated in by some twenty two
persons, marked the opening of ap-'
propriatc Easter Servicer at the
M'thodist Episcopal church of this
city, the devotionals being conducted
by Miss Grace Davis, after which a
fellowship breakfast was enjoyed by
all in the basement of the church.
The Sunday School rendered a short
but intensely interesting program at
tha regular Sunday School hour, which
was appreciated by all. The Easter
offering received of tho little folks
amounted to $30.00.
At the rcgilar service a special
Easter program was given, consisting
of special music ,by Miss Ethel Owen,
tho orchestra, the choir and the High
School Ladies' 'Quartet. The sermon
consisted of a sjmple statement of the
Easter story as recorded in the gos
pel. The pastor and people were
pleased with the presence of tho
Knight Templars who attended in a
body and added dignity to the service.
The regular League meeting was
led by Thelma McBridc, and at this
meeting the Easter message held first
place.
At the evening service tho pastor
spoke from the text: "To Know Christ
And The Power Of His Resurrection
And The Fellowship Of His Suffer
ing." This concluded tho day's efforts
to exalt and honor the Christ.
Next Sunday's services will be in
charge of tho pastor. The choir con
template furnishing several special
numbers. The Sunday School so
licits your presence and have an in
structive program.
The Epworth League meetings arc
proving a benefit and blessing. Lot
us kindly suggest, you get the habit
of spending some time of the Lord's
day in one of the churches of Kcd
Cloud. If you ha'c no church home,
come worship with us.

SEED CORN TESTS WELL
Seed tests of the 1918 corn crop
made by the Nebraska Experiment
Station showed a high rate of ger
mination. On account of the high
germination of the seed corn this
year farmers will cut the planting
rate down from the last two years,
when poor germination made a lot of
seed necessary to obtain a stand. The
rate of two or three plants to the
hill is considered about right, with
an average of two and a half plants
the ideal. Three stalks in eastern
Nebraska and two farther west in
the state seem to be tho best. Many
farmers say careful adjustment of
planting machinery pays, and if a
machine gets so worn it is no longer
adjustable, it will pay to cast it aside
and get a new one. Corn too thiqk
suffers first and most from dry
weather, and that too thin won't pro
duce a high yield any year.

One of the most pernicious pieces
of legislation threatened by the re
actionary Republican Sixty-sixth Con
gress is the proposal to remove the
exemption from Farm Land Bank
bonds . The proposal comes from Rep
resentative McFaddcn, of Penn
sylvania, one of the most conspicuous
Republican members of the nousc
Banking and Currency Committee.
Such a step would cost the farm
ers of America millions of dollars, and
endanger, if not destroy, the Farm
Land bank system, one of the great
est blessings an American Congress
has ever bestowed on the farmer. If
the exemption is rpmoved,, the Farm
Land banks will either .have to go
out of business or raise the rate of
interest on loans to farmers, which is
just what those behind the proposal
desire.
When a Democratic Congress es
tablished the Land Bank system,
farmers were paying anywhere from
8 to 15 per cent on short-term loans,
which they had to renew often.' They
now borrow money from the land
.banks at GV per cent, and for any
term they wish from five to forty
years. Imagine the loan sharks who
fattened off the farmers prior to the
establishment of the Federal land
banks doing anything of that sort!
It is they who arc inspiring tho pro
posal to remove tho exemption from
the Lank Bank bonds, that they may
reestablish their "loan shark" agen
cies and again bleed tho farmers of
millions upon millions of dollars'.
City dwellers have their exemp
tions; billions of municipal and other
bonds which tho farmer is not able
to invest in aro exempted. Why tax
tho Farm Bank Bonds, in which tho
farmer can and does invent, and thui
mnko him pay a double tax on his
proporty and on his debts?
