Every meal of fish means a bit of beef for sonic soldier boy "over there." The ubiquitous profiteer bobs up screw -ly at regular intervals, forc ing the enactment of drastic conser vat on laws under which innocent patriots have to suffer. Meat and flour have had his latest attention.. A German statesman is quoted as saying that the diive is justified be cause Germany does not wish to see her soldiers spend a fifth winter in the trenches. A good many of them won't. Closing "the first half of the year the live stock production of the west and southwest exceeded every pre vious record of the cattle and hog in dustry in this section of the country. Heay supply and high prices do not iifi.ally go together. That Messrs. Yo.t, llilderbrandt and others, arc foiefd to charge high prices abnor mal even for war times indicates a profiteer somewhere in the far end of the woodpile. Germany has said that America is so biuy making money; so busy in the race for wealth, business, commeice, pleasure; that the terms patriotism and heroism have no meaning with us. Germany has said several other things equally foolish. With a million American soldiers over there and more following; with every Amer ican over here working hcait and soul lo back that million and those who follow it, Germany will discover pres ently that saying a thing is so doe3 nul make it so. Tl'f 112nd anniversary of American Indi pendence is particularly signifi can'. led Cloud, with thousands of oth'M cities, celebrates as of yore, but the occasion id not, aa of yoie, so lu- ui ly imbued with the idea of amero "good time." Wo are, today nearer the ical ideal Fourth of July. There if. a revival of the spirit of our fore fa 'iers; a new step to the march, a ni w bwing to the music, new desired, now thoughts, new aspirations. Fourth of July, lt18, is 100 per cent patriotism. They said the town fellows couldn't do the job. That they would be stepping on each others feet and creating confusion in the harvest fields. Well, what about it now? For a week or more they have been going out to the fields daily, and their ser vices seem to be both appreciated and in demand. A young man came into the Chief office Saturday evening and stated that he and three others had just come from a harvest field where they cleared up sixty acres that af ternoon. The town farmers cannot help, eh? We should worry. Last week the Chief published a local item relating to a musical lawn party given by the Ellis and Bush families. The occasion was so much enjoyed by the entire neighborhood as well as the immediate participants, that we would suggest extending the idea into a sort of semi-organized form of social assembly with memher hhip and appointed places of meeting at regular intervals. Wo opine that Senator Xorris has an uphill race in seeking re-election. A big man and a talented and honored one at that, waa in the samo boat and is relegated to n-back seat in his own homo state.

M. l 1UCKAKD) Four years ago last Friday Arch duke Franz Ferdinand was assassin ated in Serbia and a short time after ward Germany seized the opportunity to bring about a long planned world war. For a long time she denied this, setting up tho claim of being forced into war in self defense. Evidence to the contrary has since piled moun tain, high and of late Germnny's plea of "self dofepse" has fallen into a stato of innocuous desuetude. Last week in a speech before tho rcichstag von Kucklmann startled his hearers by saying "Tho llohenzollorn ambition to rule tho world by force of arms has been shattered. In other words, lie admits that the German military ma chine is weakening. Go to it Amer icans. PrcsjB on and press hard until tho reptile militatism is beaten to the dust.
