In discussing the Russian situ-
ation and the effect the actions
of that country will have upon
the allied nations, the exchange
has this to say:
Those over-fearful Americans
who imagine the Russian collapse

Baby Government Bonds.

just such an outcom-. .and have

who raised cain with his grocer
for refusing to sell him all the
flour he wanted, and always
abuses the hotel and restaurant
men for refusing to serve him
meat or flour bread on the meat-
less and wheatless days. He is
the same fellow who wants to
see the other men and boys go
to the front, but is not willing to
go himself, neither will he buy
a Liberty Bond, a War Saving
Stamp or a Thrift Stamp. When
the food administrator goes after

ly do—and compels him to obey

law, this particular breed of hog
is going to have hard sledding.

RUSSIA NO GREAT MENACE
and holding territory are two
very different propositions. This
territory is peopled by many
races and by peoples of many
shades of political belief. At no
time has the Bolsheviki govern-
ment been in anything like en-
tire control. There have always
been disturbing elements, and
the mere occupation of the ter-
ritory by Germany will not tend
to harmonize these opposing ele-
ments. Germany will be forced,
if she holds the conquered terri-
tory, to keep large standing ar-
mies there. In fact, it is extreme-
ly doubtful if she can reduce
her armies on the eastern front
to any extent, and only future
events will disclose whether or
not she will actually be compell-
ed to augment them.
It is, unfortunately, true that
Germany’s occupation of the Rus-
sian provinces has opened to her
a new source of supplies. This,
however, is not in itself a mat-
ter of great alarm. Germany
lias all along had about all the
supplies she could handle. The
pathetic tales of German hunger
and misery are a part of the
shrewd German game to enlist
the sympathy of Americans and
cause a letting up of the strenu-
ous program that we have set
ourselves. The additional sup-
plies will not go far toward a
victory for the Teuton arms.
Taken all in all, whatever ad-
vantage Germany may derive
from the conquered Russian pro
vinces is being largely offset by
the men and supplies this country
is steadily putting on the West-
ern front. Nothing would please
Germany more than for America
to go into a funk over the Rus-
sian collapse and imagine that it
has given her great advantage.
Germany has carefully cultivated
the delusion of her invincibility.
It is her greatest card and she
plays it at every opportunity.
But the allies have pretty well
taken her measure and are mak-
ing thorough preparation to meet
her fairly and conquer her.
The significance of the great
Russian collopse is the pity of a
great nation gone wrong, when
such bright possibilities were be-
fore it.

The People Were
Skeptical
About the first locomotive, but who would go hack to old
horse-power cars? They said Fulton’s steamboat was a
failure, but look at the big liners of today. Thev said
v\right brothers couldn’t fly, and Marconi couldn’t talk
t irougli the air, but the airplane and wireless telegraphy
are leading features in the great world-war. Some people
are skeptical about Tractor farming! Here are a few
things the Avery line will do: Burn coal oil or distilate,
perfect break 1 acre 6-inc hes deep on less 2 gallons of fuel,
list one acre on 1 gallon offuel; plant one acre on 1-2 gallon
of fuel; cultivate one acre on 1-2 gallon of fuel. They will
pull drag or disc harrow, binders, mowers, rakes; grind
feed; pump water; cut ensilage, or do any other job re-
quiring tractor or belt power; they do not eat when not
at work. It will cost you nothing to have these facts dem-
onstrated to you, and it may mean a big saving. There is
an Avery for any size job.
