A spirit of co-operation between town and country that it it good to see is that displayed in Giltner and Bloomfield. In both these com munities the fanners drove in with their .wag ons, were met at the outskirts by groups of business men in overalls, and together they set about improving the village streets. It is so easy for feuds to spring up now adays, what with farmers endeavoring to en ter into lines of business which conflict to a certain extent with the middlemen already es tablished in their market centers, and the nat ural resentment over the spread between what the farmer gets as a 'producer and what he pays as a consumer. Misunderstandings and disagree ment on both sides are more than possible. That is why the good will shown in these two communities where the farmers furnished the teams and the townsmen the labor to load and unload the wagons with earth and gravel is so encouraging. It was through this spirit of co-operation that the west was built. Then neighborhood building bees where the whole countryside joined in to raise a barn or a house or to clear a road were at once the evidence and .encouragement of healthy comradeship. Those towns will thrive which are on the best of terms with the rural populationthat they aerve. The feeling that farm and village form one community is much to be desired. So. necessary is it that the farmers should feel a stake in their trading point that business men are not justified in hostility to the establish ment of a co-operative store or other farmer owned concerns among them. Such things as these link up farm and town all the more close ly and enlarge the trading territory, bringing more and more people to town and thus helping business as a whole. Giltner and Bloomfield are going to have better streets, a convenience' to those who live there and to those who drive in. In many other centers the rural highways are better than the village streets. Measured in any way, these two Nebraska towns are exemplars of the right spirit, . ' , , The Strategy of World Peace. Portugal, Belgium and Holland have been added to the list of countries that will attend the conference in Washington on the problems of the Pacific. The Portuguese, with their South China port at Macao, the Belgians with their immense railway concessions in the Flowery re public, and the Dutch with their island holdings are not only entitled, but obligated to participate in the discussions. The upbuilding of China and the clarifying of relations in the east are essential to world peace. One of the chief stakes of international in terest in Asja are the Chinese railways, almost all of which are controlled by foreign nations, giving each a sphere of influence. It is amazing that Belgian bankers should have almost 3,000 miles of railway built or building, crossing China from east to west and north to south. France, Japan, England and Russia also have lines run ning through districts great in natural resources, such as coal and iron The Belgian concession was designated originally as a cat's paw in the design of Russia and France to offset Great Britain. What its present status is can not be known, but one lias only to recall the importance of Germany' road to Bagdad in order to under stand that these Chinese railroads and the con sequent competition for markets might make Asia a battlefield bloodier than any the world has yet seen. Disarmament alone could not cope with such a menace as this international rivalry. The strategy of world peace must pivot on the con ference on Pacific problems called by President Harding.1' ' ' " v ' Building-Place Fellowship. A promising torn of affairs is signalized in the advice given each community to look after its owa unemployed. Under the impulse and pressure of the war people came to think in larger terms almost exclusively. The na tion was the unit, and for some purposes, even all the associates in battle. Certain things possess this world-wide na ture, such as communication, transportation, cur rency, the discoveries of science and some mat ters of health and sanitation. There are many local interests apart from these, such as educa tion, recreation and economic co-operation. Yet to distorted has the perspective been that more importance has bees given to snch questions as the form , of government in Russia than -to whether matters at home are adjusted properly. More hat been heard of wrongs overseas than of UCB Cronca as cnua 4uvr vui pevuage ib wui own communities. :' A development of neighborhood sense b necdH. and the shifting of the problem of em ployment from national to community shoulders it a move in the right direction. It is possible to put more than the proper amount of emphasis oa nationalism, imperialism and also on inter nationalism. These are, taken by and large, (a. AfitrAllinor rAnle. while the snhere il iia w a f r , - r of th smaller unit is to control conditions. Under the system of centralization that has been bnih op ra the United States as well as in most , local tOTejrnments hare been weak ened, but there is none of them that, given r (possibility, will not meet it better than it could be handled by wholesale methods. It will be a salutary thing for the idea of first cleaning up one'f own doorstep to take hold. Unbidden Guests at Washington. When th announcement oi Mr. Wilson's ''fourteen points" was made it bad the unex pected effect of evoking "spirits from the vasty deep," in the form of many long forgotten na tionalities. When these had assembled at Paris it gave to the conference there a peculiar color. Instead of a group of great and responsible pow ers, solemnly endeavoring to formulate a peace that would last, the proceedings partake largely of the nature of a scramble among small and frequently insignificant bodies, asserting national right and demanding recognition under the magic phrase of "self-determination." Recogni tion then afforded ha produced further con fusion, with slight contribution to the cause of peace. Now we have the promise that this will be repeated, but in a lesser degree at Washington. Four great powers were invited by the president of the United State to assemble at Wash ington, for the consideration of the specific topic of limitation of armament; the list was extended to include three other lesser powers to take part in the discussion and possible adjustment of certain questions deal ing with the Pacific ocean and the Far East Thus not only the membership but the agenda for the assembly is definitely limited. Not de terred by this fact, the "submerged" are coming forward. Korea will ask a seat at the table; at least will expect to have its case reviewed, and un doubtedly will get some attention. South China, quite as much entitled to self-determination as any, wants to be recognized as a separate entity, that its peculiar claims may be treated as a separate docket, and so it goes. These unbidden guests, however, are not likely to have as much effect at Washington as they did at Paris. The conferees here will not be so taken up with the delimitation of national boundaries as with the more important things involved in disarmament and the establishment of peace by agreement. The smaller nations will lose little by letting the larger settle some things. . Awaiting the Order to Move. Something pathetic yet noble attaches to the letter from Henri Watterson to the Confederate Veterans, soon to meet at Chattanooga. At In dianapolis last month the Grand Army of the Republic made its last will and testament, pro viding for the disposition of all its worldly goods, in anticipation of the day, not so very far off, when it will no longer exist, its last member patiently waiting for the order to move, and so to end the organization forever. And, just as the boys who wore the blue are going on, the boys who wore the grey also are passing. Through a long vista of years these veterans look back on the doings of their youth, when hot blood coursed swiftly through their veins, and each battled as' only Americans can for a cause; the verdict of victory has been accepted, and the bitterness and asperities of the conflict have softened; sons and grandsons of the warriors of the sixties have marched side by side and fallen together under Old Glory since then, that the world might be a better and a freer world. Survivors of the legions of Grant and Lee now see the country united in spirit as well as in name. Fit to go alongside the "will" made at Indianapolis, therefore, is this benediction from the eloquent "Marse Henri:" ' Perhaps it is as well that I may not again look upon the tht'n grey line soon to disappear, forever from the scenes of this world, for it' might put too great a strain upon an old man'a tenderest sensibilities. ' My love to the old boys. It cannot be long when we shall meet on that beautiful shore, and when we meet, be sure the Bonnie Blue flag will be flying at the shore and the bands will be playing "Dixie" on parade, whilst the pretty girls will be idistributing the Chat tanooga Rebel to groups of ragged, red-nosed' ' angels who have not forgotten the rebel yell. Blue and grey alike soon will take up their last tent on "Fame's eternal camping ground," and Glory will keep "with solemn round the bivouac of the dead." Only the order to move is waited for now. Boosting Omaha's Pay Roll. The suggestion that Omaha's unemployment problem be solved by the simple expedient of in creasing the local pay rolls rests on a solid foun dation. Patronage of home industry will , in crease the demand for the different articles man ufactured here, and thus make room for more workers in the local factories. The fact that this is so'simple does not detract from its de sirability nor its workability. Progress and pros perity alike rest on just that foundation. Under neath America's commercial and industrial su premacy is the sure foundation of protection of home industry Nations and .communities alike grow for the same reason; neither will make headway if it citizens limit their traffic to swap ping among themselves, but as they 'can satisfy their own needs by things they produce for them selves, other things being equal, and in addition can bring forth more than they consume and so have something to sell abroad, they grow rich and powerful. Application of this elemental rule to the present condition of unemployment will benefit everybody, for heaven still helps those who help themselves. - . ' One of the places where taxation can be ap plied to the limit without arousing popular dis satisfaction is on estates of more than $15,000,000. An inheritance tax on immense fortunes is sound, and the proposed increase in rates on this sched ule ought to be without opposition except by the prospective heirs. Nor is there any possibility of enough being levied in death duties to force"' any of them to the indignity of work. The per capita circulation of money has in creased 4 cents in the last month from $52.41 to $52.45. A year ago it was $58.95. In spite of the fact that it eeems to go too fast now, an in crease in its velocity might help liven up business. Of the gainful worker in Iowa, 327,009, or 38 per cent, are engaged in agriculture. And the remaining 62 per cent is almost wholly dependent on them, directly or Indirectly. The farmer who plans to market his products by airplane ought to keep the kind of chickens that lay only hard-boiled eggs. If freight rates do go down, the railroads will be equipped with the agricultural bloc system, as it .were. Future oj the Mark Germany Inflated Now Eiceeds AU Paper Currency Oold of World (By C T. Revtr In th W. J. Woliman ft Co, Review. Reports of Germany's economic revival and the spectacle of the decline in the mark have caused much confusion in the minds of tloe who consider these developments contradictory, As a matter of fact they are, under the ciicum stance, largely unrelated incidents. This msy seem t be a bold statement in view of the by pothei.ii that a nation's economic status furnishes a guide to the value of its currency. Tlii, however, is a theory that holds good only in normal times and under normal condi tions. As matters now stand, it is conceivable that we might witness a state of affairs that would show a relatively prosperous Germany and a mark that would be practically negligible as a measure of value. There are several rason for this. In the first place, Germany has permitted itself to be lured into the bog of inflation. This call to "the easiest way" came first in tlie great war when the huge indemnities to be collected from its foes were to give value to its paper is sues. Then came the period of floundering when the socialist republic was hard put to it to meet its fiscal requirements. Later, if the truth should be known, came a stage of desperation when Germany's .leaders decided to cash in on Ger many's past reputation for fiscal probity and soundness and make the most of it. It was the confidence or credulity of buyers all over the world that led them to purchase marks at 8 cents, 7 cents, 6 cents and so on down the scale to practically 1 cent Those who bought took the stand that Germany would "come back and that it would not repudiate. Undoubtedly Germany will "come back" and probably it will not repudiate in the ordinary sense of that term. But that will not save the mark. The printing presses have served their purpose. Capital was furnished by the sale of billions of marks to the nationals of other coun tries. The-hopelessness of gold redemption is shown by the outstanding issue of more than 77,000,000,000 paper marks with a gold cover of 1.091.554,000. (Statement of September 23, latest to hand, shows circulation 82,177,365,000 marks, gold cover 1,027,705,000 marks). The rehabilita tion of the mark would call for $19,000,000,000 in gold and there is not a third of that amount available in the world today. Moreover, Germany feels itself under no obli gation to restore the mark in order that alien speculators may profit thereby. Its currency was under suspicion and it was a case of "caveat emptor." The buyer took the risk of loss for the chance of profit. He bet on Germany's eco nomic recovery, forgetting that a country's pro ductivity and its monetary stability are not al ways one and the same thing. As a matter of fact Germany profits greatly by the low exchange value of the mark. At 1.20 for the mark its currency has a dollar purchas ing power of about 5 per cent a depreciation of 95 per cent. But it has its selling power multi plied 20 times 2,000 per cent. That is not all. When it conies to buying it can work virtually on a better basis finished goods for raw ma terials, manufacture on a mark basis for its labor, and exchange these goods for the premium cur rency of other nations. In this way it can accomplish its economic recovery, restore its industry, pay its imperative i .i . j -i oongaiions, sucn as me maemmiy claims, ana gradually get on its feet. No one contends that this advantage can last forever. When prices rise in Germany in pro portion to the fall of the mark abroad the vicious circle will be completed. What then? Probably one of two things will happen. Either the mark will disappear as a symbol of value or it will be revealed. . X he result will be the same no mat ter which method is adopted. The mark may be come as extinct as the Roman obolus or it may be exchanged on the basis of, say 25 for I. When Germany is ready for that step its economic re covery in all likelihood will have progressed to a point where its governmental leaders feel that it will be able to balance its budget and meet its fiscal needs by taxation instead of by printing more bank notes.

Not Yet Ready for Peace ' The blunt truth, highly important to be faced just now, is that neither in Washington nor in any other national capital has there yet come to escendancy'a conoeption of international rela tions and obligations on which a permanent peace can be established. - ir'eace can be insured to humanity onlv when it has statesmen broad and brave enough to re sign advantages which they might claim for their own nationalities, in order to do full justice for peoples too weak to enforce their real rights. To look also to the things of others must become the law of international dealing before it can guarantee results of peace. But has President Harding fully recognized this Apparently not He has'appointed as Ameri can delegates four men accustomed to think from exclusive nationalistic premises. Even Secretary Hughes, so well disposed ra every other particular, has been conducting the affairs of his high orhce, since he assumed charge. on the unmistakable assumption that whatever it would be for Americas pecuniary profit to secure it is his duty to claim to any cost. li in that spirit he and his colleagues enter the disarmament conference, determined to concede nothing and make no sacrifices of any American advantages, they have ruined the negotiations before beginning to negotiate. . Only in case America is prepared without Jrejudice to examine the varied aspirations of apan, France and Britain, and assist sympa thetically in realizing whatever therein is natural, normal and fair, is it worth while to hold any conference at all. America wants especially the Japanese Ques tion settled. But it is not going to be settled by Americans saying to the Japanese: "This is what we insist on. And you II have to be satisfied." Instead, the attitude must be: "Tell us what you want; and we -will say what we want, and by each yielding a little we shall no doubt be able to come to an agreement humiliating to neither of us." The Continent What Makes a Good Farmer. It is a bigger thing to be a good farmer than some of us think. There are those who seem to think that if we draw on a pair of overalls, follow the plow all day 'and worry a whole lot about the weather and things, therefore we are hue farmers. Land sakes, a stovepipe hat and a book under your arm don t make you a preacher. The thought you put into your work, the smiles you get from the earth when you tickle it in the ribs, the real good you do these are the things that make you a farmer. Size yourself up once m a while. It will do you and the rest of us lots of good. Farm Life.
