THE COST OF PEACE
soon as Americans got into the world
war. It is not American nature to
sit in the mud impatiently for two
or three years.
Americans, most nervous race so
far in history, want constant action.
They either go forward or are car
ried off the battlefield feet first.
The War Department now wisely
issues orders fo corps commanders,
that are to be trained primarily to
attack the enemy instead of merely
'holding their ground.
There is a success tip that you
may turn into money.
All business, all participation in
the great industrial machine of civ
ilization, is a form of warfare.
You see the law of "survival of
the fittest" working in trade associ
ations. Jobbers or manufacturers
band together together in good-na
tured fellowship to accomplish cer
tain ends. Easy to

much as being at war.

ed.
Her entire national wealth is es
timated at 400,000,000,000 francs.
She is mortgaged 82 per cent of her
face value.
Cheron warns the French senate
that by 1930 France's debt will be
425,000,000,000 francs. Debt will
exceed national wealth.
France, insisting on arming to the
teeth, especially with submarines
is grasping a cast iron life preserver.
Now quit saying that you don't get
enough for your tax money. We have
just learned that any citizen can
write to his congressman and get,
free of charge, a pamphlet on "The

What does it feel like to die? This
question aroused intense curiosity in
Thure B. Wagelius, brilliant young
chemist and psychic investigator of
Brooklyn, N. Y.
A tlaring scheme to peek behind
the mysterious curtain of death oc
curred to him.
Locked in his labratory, young
Wagelius rigged up an apparatus
that dipped an anesthetic drug into
an inhaler attached to hi3 nostrils.
This had an automatic regulator.
Each ruccessivo experiment. Wag
elius went one drop of drug nearer
to death.
Then, coming out of his stupor,
he wrote down his experiences. !
"I am on the verge of discovering
the great secret of the hereafter,"
he told his friends.
Finally the drug carried him be
yond the curtain showed him what
lies after death. But death is a one
way door. No on will ever know
what Wagelius discovered. He has
been buried.
The mystery of death has been a
matter of deep -thought by every
person 1hat ever lived.
Haller, great philosopher and
physician, watched hispulso on hi3
death bed, hoping to be able to speak
a message an instant after death
claimed him. His last words were,
"My friend3 the artery ceases to
beat." His voice was stilled before
be could impart the secret of the
beyond.
Harvey, discoverer of the circula
tion of blood, also kept a close watch
on his pulse when he was dying in
1657. He knew the exact instant he
died but was unable to get a mes-
j sage back to the doctors grouped

Treating Potatoes for Scab
The most effective method is to
treat the potato before it is cut. Uae
one pint of formaldehyde to 30 gal

Now is the time to poison the
gopher, just as he begins to work. A
small supply of gopher poisoning may
be had at the Farm Bureau office.
Use any poison that is effective,
usually strychnine in some form is
best. Some farmers have used the
