MORNING JOURNAL
Legislative Houte-Cleanlng Needed,
While the war Is on and there Is a
lull In business, we want all legisla
tive bodies to take an inventory ot
the statute books ;and wipe off all
extravagant and useless Riws. A good
house-cleaning is needed and econo
mies can be instituted here and there
that will patch the clothes of indigent
children, rest tired mothers and lift
mortgages from despondent homes.
Unnecessary workmen taken off and
useless expenses chopped ,dow,n aU
along the line will add to the pros
perity of the farmer and encourage
him in his migUty effort to feed and
clothe the world.
If any of these industries have sur
plus employes we can .use tbrrn oa
the farm. We have no regular
schedule of wages, but we pay good
farm hands on an average of $1.50
per day of thirteen hours when they
board themselves; work usually runs
about nine months of the year tind the
three months dead time, they can do
the chores for their board. It they
prefer to farm on their own account,
there are more than 14,000,000,000
acres of idle land on the earth's sur
face awaiting the magic touch of the
plow. The compensation is easily ob
tainable from Federal Agricultural
Department statistics. Tho total
I average annual sales of a farm a
(the continental United States amounts
I to $516.00; the coBt of operation is
'$340.00; leaving the farmor $176 per
annum to live on and educate his
: family.
There is no occasion for the legis
latures making a position for surplus
employes of industry. Let them come
"back to the soil" and share with us
the prosperity of the farm.
When honesty Is merely a good
policy It is a poor virtue.
. Lazy farmers are Just as useless aa
dead ones and take up more room.
When the soul communes with the
jjpirit of nature the back to the farm
movement prevails.
There are two kinds of farmers.
One tries to take all the advice ha
hears and the other won't take any

City Man's Sneer at Country.
There was a Frenchman who hated
the country as much as did Charles
Lamb, but compressed his feelings
into few words. This was Charles
Monselet, who lived on the Quai Vol
taire, Paris. "It is," he said, "the
place where the birds are raw."
Umbrella Stand
A sponge in a porcolafn umbrella
stand will keep the umbrella from
striking the bottom of the Jar, which
Is often broken In this way, and will
also absorb the rain water from a
wet umbrella. A carriage sponge will
fit the bottom and la not expensive.
8avlng Patent Leather.
Patent leather shoes and slippers
will last twice as long if you wipe
them off occasionally with a soft cloth
that has been wrung out of olive oil
Keep the cloth in a small tin box, one
that has a cover, and the oil will last
long time.
Reproach to Femininity.
For every wing of black and orange
an a woman's hat an apple tree is
stripped of leaves and young fruit, oi
an elm is denuded of its graceful
foliage by the canker-worm.- Oui
Dumb Animals,
She Knew.
"Laura," said the fond mother,
"what are the intentions of that young
man whom you are permitting to call
ou you bo often?" "Never mind that,
mother," answered the maiden; T
know what my intentions are."
For a New Umbrella,
Before using a new umbrella Inject
small quantity of vaseline into ths
hinge portions of the frame. Vase
line will not spread like oil and spoil
the covering, and is a sure preven
tive against rust, Wet umbrellas
should be stood on their handles to
dry; this allows the water to run out
of them, instead of into the pari
where the silk and ribs meet, thus
causing the metal to rust and ths
ilk t rot .

There Can bo no
Two Loyalties.
Nothing could be justeror mora
rtraight-goiog tbsn the declarelloQ
of Mr. Henry VVeiamann, presi
dent of the German-American Ai
lianoe, to the members of ita ex
eoutiye board. "There can be no
two loyalties' he deolared. "I
know the German-Americans of
this state are united with me ib ex
pressing tbe sentiment that we ar
for America first, last and all the
time, and that tbe Germany wa
knew is but a memory'
Those words are to be pondered
not only by citizens of German ex
trMCiion, but by pacifists, socialists
and bap-boxers of various brands
who are expressing themselves in a
vein which indicates only too fre
quently that their loyalty is given
elsewhere than to this country.
There can be no two loyalties, He
who is cot for America is against
Americs. Differences of opinion
about policy and administration of
policy there are bound to 'be.
These can be settled in due and
orderly fashion according . to the
procedure established by tbe con
stitution and tbe laws. The mi
nority in this country bas not been
f
robbed ot its privileges in any di
rection, aod it will not be; but it is
not the privilege of a minority in
this or any other democracy to ob
struct or scuttle tbe election of the
majority's policies as written in the
laws, or to conn net or inriU tr v
bellion against the law, eitbar di
rectly or by indirection.
Such oonduet and unfortunate
ly there has been plenty of it. It
may be loyalty to Germany. It ia
gratifying to have a spokesman for
the tbonsands on thousands oMoy.
al citizens of German extrwotion
express their loyslfy for them in
uncompromising fashion. It ren
ders more glaringly tbe disloyalty
of tba anti-American newepsperp,
propagandists and spies parading
behind the hyphen. New York
