It's a ldg sort of toot, driven by steam. All you have to do is to drive a pig up a'plank, through a hole in the machine, and five minutes later out come thousands of sausages!” “What becomes of the hide?” queried the solitary Englishman of the audi ence, “The hide, sir?” retorted the Chicago man. “Oh, that falls into another slot 1 In the machine and out come Glati Kstone hags, purses, or, If yon like. shoes or saddles—merely a matter of turning r. screw.” “Oh, is that all,” said the EngHsh » man. “We’ve used that machine in England for the past iMrty years.

G. Holden, in I. H. C. Bulletin. The opportunity of the town lies in the country. The country can get along witiiout the town, but no town ever has or ever will be permanently prosperous where the land is poor. The town is built on farm profits; on what farmers produce in excess of their home needs. In fact, towns arc consumers, not real produces. Towns are the natural evolution and outgrowth of necessity—places to store and distribute the world's surplus products through the channels of commerce. There is but one road to permanent city building—• that road leads to the farm. Business is so sympathetic, so sensitive to crop production, that the forecast of a poor wheat or corn crop affects the markets of the world. When the harvest fields smile, towns wax fat, and factories increase the pay roll. Corn, wheat, and hay, beef, pork and poultry—these are the soil builders, the home builders, the builders of great cities. The old fashioned chamber of commerce, w ith its cash bonuses and free factory sites, is rapidly passing away. Instead of grabbing business from each other, we must realize that our opportunities lie 'hidden in the fertility of the soil. Towns and cities are beginning to Took to the country, out to the fields of growing corn, wheat, and cotton for their real prosperity. A successful hay campaign will bring factories to the town." Hay means beef and nork, which beckon the packing house and storage plant. More corn means cereal mills, glucose factories, starch factories. Flour mills locate in wheat pro ducing sections. Creameries follow the dairy cow, and the truck patch calls for the canning factory. Let us have more chambers of commerce and agriculture. Let us create wealth from the opportunities at home, and not subtract it from other communities. We must not forget that every farm is a factory, and that in every state there are thousands of these factories which need our best thought and effort to make them productive. j Views of German Exiles. j I__-A Frank Bohn, in the New York Times. neing incuraoie opumiai, i nave uecu among those who, since the beginning of the war, have inclined to exaggerate the importance of the democratic forces in Germany. However, my roseate ex pectations have recently suffered, in Switzerland, a very severe setback. Every German democratic exile in Switzerland, without one single exception, emphasized to me with the greatest clearness that only a decisive defeat of Germany’s forces could begin the work of building up a German democracy. I have in mind four men in Switzerland with whom I have been on terms of the most intimate com panionship. For evident reasons I shall designate them by letters of the alphabet. A. has been for many years one of the most distinguished leaders in the indus trial life in Germany. 1 had many inter esting hours with him alone. We came to the matter of the internal life of Germany from every angle. His conversation may be briefly summarized as follows: Place absolutely no hope in any party, or in any class, within Ger many. There is no considerable group in Germany which understands democ racy. A.l criticism of the government is based entirely on the fact that there is not enough food and clothing. But if the German government can provide her people with the necessities of life ns she has in the past there is no ! reason why she should not make war for 50 years. The German people are growing accustomed to war Josses. Hosing the third or fourth son causes less suffering than losing the first. Any suggestion that the war is an evil is met by the answer: “Are we not better off than the others? Are we not fighting upon enemy territory? Have we not won every battle?” Bach is war. 1 am hopeless, utterly hope less, about Germany. One complete defeat can give her a new beginning. B. is .a profound scholar and a jovial, fgood fellow. He has Just completed the writing of a stupendous history ©£ philoso :pliy. He tells me that it will give the world a totally new notion of what , .philosophy really Is. This man, .possessed of. wealth and having married tut© - junker family, has enjoyed life after the style of a healthy burger of Munich. *'0f course, in Munich,” I said to him, ; “you have at least some of the old JSouth •German love of life for its own sake.” '“Toil’re wrong,” said he, "I was the ' fonly man in South Germany who loved ife for its own sake. That's why 1 had to leave. There isn't a shred lefit of the ■ old cultural life of Germany. Poetry is _ utau aim itdi ihuoiv. ib un ua People think of absolutely nothing but getting rich individually and brow heating other peoples nationally.” C. is a socialist—also from South Ger many. After telling the same story about present day Germany which the others had told, he set out to explain it. "1 am Just now,” he said, “writing a history of the German mind (Geschichte der Deutsche Intelligenz). The entire his tory of German intellectualism has been, from the very beginning, a ridiculous, perverted, and utterly useless expression of life. The modern German is a liberal or a socialist in the same sense as he is Hegelian or Nietzschean or a Christian. That is, he accepts a certain system ol philosophical thought because it satisfies him and gives him an answer to the riddle of the universe. But he never dreams o| applying any of these philosophical prin ciples to actual life. German thinking ifl entirely theoretical.” D. Is a distinguished journalist of Berlin. In this case I see no objection to mention ing the name. I refer to Doctor Rose meier. Rosemeier and I have been friends for a long time, hut one day he lost patience with me. We were having coffee in his little cottage out in the country. He was observing that, if necessary, we should call in the Japanese, we should organize the black races. iSome of his comparisons struck me as amusing and l laughed. “Yes, yes, you may well laugh, you fel lows who sit there in youi* America. 4,000 miles away from our Sahel Hollunken (saber rattling wretches) and enjoy your selves. If you had had to endure what we have had during these years you would laugh out of the other side of your mouth.” I tried to turn the subject. “Can’t you write something,” i said, “that would really get hold of these people and bring them to their senses?” “Write something! Write something! Nonsense'! Haven’t I been writing my fingers off for 30 years. What those fel lows need is not ideas for* their brains. They need bombs -on' their skulls.” “But we expect some help from within,’* 1 went on. 4‘Help can come only from one place,’’ he sai-dL, “from Bethlehem—Bethlehem, Pa, But you d© not realize it fully.

From the New York Post. A good many people have a wholly wrong idea of thrift. They look on it as something akin to stinginess, skimping, parsimony—a habit that narrows and makes little. Nothing could be further astray. The nearest verbal relative to thrift is thrive. Both word* have precisely the same derivation, and thrift in Its original sig nificance meant prosperity. Today it neans the straightest and most certain road to prosperity. Buskin explained at length that economy nad as much to do with spending money vs saving it—perhaps more. And thrift is rather the intelligent use of money than its withholding. The antitnesis of hrift is not generosity, but waste. The thrift habit is a stimulating habit. It acts as a tonic. It promotes industry; :t strengthens courage; it quickens hope. The youngster whose pennies and dimes had meant merely gum and sodas until the thrift stamps came into his lilt-, and Jegan to grow into Havings certificates, low has visions of bigger and more en lurmg things. He Is laying foundatioiu for future possessions. The adult may well learn a lesson from the youmrster. The thrift stamp habit is far reaching. It is'iLmasing how the quar ters Increase;. how the dollar* snultipiy, vikT to what dreams of «:,iaigerhe.'1' the wan pear is; ho censers ana cruets nna candlestick* fashioned chastely'in precious metals; «>o fretted vestments from thi looms of F. alien c.e; -no -crimson' velvets ■hung with chains of gold; no walls ol man made damask: no Jewel bediglst mantles or -cassocks: mo bonnets of velvyj in royal purple, *ay with plumes and aglow with Jewells. Far lovelier is the setting of the new field than of the old. Its canopy Is ths fan flung blue sky. Its gold is the gold of nature, i*« Inert, but rippling as ths trout brook or rolling like the seas, catch ing the splendor of the sun by day and the glory of the mown by niglii Since recorded history began—yea. Jong before, as the secrets of ancient tomb* dlseiose—wheat lias been 1 lie grain of grains for human food. It is so today Used and liked the world over, there ill no other cereal to fill Its place. Today it is more precious than gold as a isaetar In human destiny. Nothing worth while came out of th* meeting of kings on the f.eld ol' the cloth of gold In France in 1 ft'JO.

The thrift stamp and savings certifi cate campaign that is now in progress should he encouraged by all who want to see the American people sturdy, self re liant, economically sound and prosperous. TLhis method of saving and investment has the advantage of being continuous rather than spasmodic. Its educational value in supplementing the appeal of the I.lberty loan Is of gTeat importance be cause of the multitude it reaches und the I d&y-by-day influence it exercises upon character. And these arguments are wholly aside from the ilevelling and immediate reason for enlisting as a thrlfter—it is a way of helping to win the war. » A 74-Year-Old Officer. From the Outlook.

Honest Advertising. 'J'HIS is a topic we all hear now-a-days because so many people are inclined to ex aggerate. Yet has any physician told you that we claimed unreasonable remedial properties for Fletcher’s Castoria? Just ask them. We won’t answer it ourselves, we know what the answer will be. •That it has all the virtues to-day that was claimed for it in its early days is to be found in its increased use, the recommendation by prominent physicians, and our assurance that its standard will be maintained. Imitations are to be found in some stores and only because of the Castoria that Mr. Fletcher created. But it is not the genuine Castoria that Mr. Fletcher Honestly advertised, Honestly placed before the public and from which he Honestly expects to receive his reward.
