One and all, we try to persuade our selves that there is foundation for the rumors that float across the Atlantic in intimation of peace projects. These have been coming from different and widely-separated sources in Europe. The most recent word from Vienna wakens the hope that influences there and at St. Petersburg amount to a start in the right dire» do no lay by reports of discontent the persistent rumors Berlin and other cities ai indicative that thenppn and the motives therefor.

Minneapolis iltions to which ailing attention ; I Its remarks bring straight home f- Î every American citizen an economic question which Is important at all times but which is made especially cogent by the fact that we are actually engaged in war. that we must do much toward furnishing food for our allies and that our supply is exceedingly scant. We are w illing to vote billions of money wherewith to prosecute the war. and the people's response to calls for soldiers will undoubtedly be patriotic. The question Is whether the families of the United States are prepared, by the observance of habits involving »are and thrift, without severe self denial. to contribute powerfully toward * overcoming the shortage in the na tion's food su pi ly I't itling with some of the details of the problem the Minneapolis Jburnal says: "We load our tables with more j than we can possible eat, out of a j foolish pride in being bountiful pro Alders. The excess t*»o often we throw away, rather than take the trouble to have it fixed up in palatable shape for another meal." Theso words reflect the comment that has recently been brought to the public's attention through the bulletins ismied by the departmen* f*f~itrrirtTTTTrre; the fedenrt government has been trying' to per- ; suade the people to prudence, urging j them to help, in their kitch solve this vital problem. Concerning a practical phase of the subject the Journal says: "This waste, enormous in the aggregate, is parti«, due to a foolish pride, partly to laz indifference and partly to thoughtless ness. If it could be eliminated at one stroke tomorrow, there would lie food enough in Americ a to feed ourselves j and our alHes well. And prices would begin to tend downward." | We Americans could learn a profit- ! able lesson from the French in this j matter of tact and care in household , management. During the months of the war they have fairly outdone themselves in domestic economies. In the matter of waste Butte's people are. perhaps, not more heedless than aie the dwellers in other American cities. . But we must admit that we are waste ful to a degree that merits criticism, i We could save money and at the same • time serve the country by the exercise of sensible prudence. MILES CITY h Uor ffiany years Miles City was the I recog need center of the range cattle growing industry. Almost a third ; of a century ago the Montana Stock I Growers' association held its first meeting there. Cowmen from ever? part of the state and of the Dakotas gathered annually at these meetings. Before Theodore Roosevelt became a national figure he had attended one or two of the annual affairs as a mem ber. In recent years, however, the stockgrowers* conventions lost some of their importance. Miles City was not less hospitable, but the fact became apparent that, with the contraction of the public domain, the cattle industry waned. Big outfits were forced out of business and the cowman and the cowboy took to farming and in in staures to pursuits that had nothing in common with the branding iron or the saddle. The Miles City meetings continued to be held but they attracted nearly as many j oliticians as cattlemen, and they lost much of the picturesqueness of the old days when the cowboy and his broncho were more In e\ idence. Now to complete the old cowtown's discomfiture, the association has voted to hold its next meeting at Great Falls. Perhaps they w ill soon be moving the convention ui to Chinook, where the North Montana Roundup asso dation held forth for many years, and then Miles City's former greatness in the cattle-growing industr> will be only a id it i< Mile For nil that and better town thaï the old days, when 1 the bugles of the bo> Tongue River count? fence.

That the;, would hell» to solve England's food problems no one this side of the Atlantic can doubt.

This is because the land is held, in lurge part, by titled owners, who preferred game preserves and parks to field? > hinet labor begun, vho un* present I tensive and productive territory. The gov emment has the power to make these j estates available; indeed, some of the: j more patriotic English land owners already have sought to cultivate areas that formerly were practically nt» more than waste ground. Thus it is that England offers to skilled American farmers an oppor tunity that could not have existed ex oepf under the conditions growing out of the war. The graduates of Amerl 1-nm agricultural colleges have been in ; demand in many parts of the world, j Many of them have found ) rofltable employment South America and Africa. A few are in Russia, where American machinery is working a revolution in farming methods. The importance laid in England to fanning at this time Is seen in the (act that farm workers in many in stances have been exempt from the conscription law on the ground that j their employment was necessary, Amei lean farmers and American labor | saving machinery would release many ! laborers who have thus far escaped j military service. In France and Ger , many a large part of the work in the fields Is performed by women, while . 'I the men are in the trenches. In Eng- j land it is coming to that. Already many women are engaged in the oc cupations on the farms and in the vitiea of England formerly exclusively occupied by men. English women are no less patriotic than tin women of France or Germany and, if need most of the work now performed by men on English estates v ill be done women before the war is ended.
