THE MAN WHO KILLSj

Others Versus the Man Who Feeds Others—Our Civiliz­

ation Still Prefers the Man Who Kills. i1

A W«d:.WtaFBraneb.sM' Maaager Byan went over to . Sheldon

laafe Monday to arrange for the opening of a branch honse for the Red Wing Batter aad Bgg compaay at that place. Mtiiagor Byan saya he has been hand­ling a large quantity of butter and eggs aad poultry from Iowa and fromi points farther east than Sheldon, and in order jto properly take oar* of his Iowa trad* he decided to open a branch houw at Bhildoa. a town he considem one of the best aad mast propreasive on the line of the Milwaukee in Iowa, and a eptoadid trade center for his bnaineM.

The LCAOBB can sssnre the people of • Bhsldoa aad surrounding country that la the Red Wing Botter and Egg Co's Shaldon branoh they will find a

that wl|l oonoentrste a heavy egg i aad poultry buaineM at

that point, and be a means of giving the fanners a bash market for all they have 'frtr sale ev«ry d i/ in the week. The bnoinvss of the 'Can:on:branch h#s grown to grand proportiti id' iu a year and a half and ia still jtrowiug. Man­agerRfan saya'the Dalctxa bnaineM is crowdlnx hint aiiwady and he waa nn-able >o handle the jjrowing buniness frous Iowa, henue the iieueasity for the Sheldon hoaao. itn i > he Sheldon people wUifiod the Red Wing people pro­gressive and public spirited.

We offer yon aa food for refleot|on two items in the work of the United 8tates Congress at It* late aesaion.

For the army and navy—branche* of the Government devoted to killitog— Congress appropriated the sum of |180,-075,878.

For the Department of Agriculture, that branoh of the Goverameat devot­ed to feeding the population. Congress appropriated 95,308,080. ,

The business of aoldieriag is, ot course, important and honorable.

In order to avoid sudden death, we mnst be prepared at all timea to indict sudden death upon others. > ' f

We have things that other nations wsnt and are willing to fight for. Therefore we muat have plenty of eold-iera, sailors and weapons to use.

But. If we need soldiers well equipped, we nsed farmers well equipped, snrely.

If we need 'an abundant harveat of Filipinos and others who oppose our national growth, we need an abnndant harvest of foodstuffs also.

If we need to wipe out treaeon among thedeiadly Moroa, we need also to wipe out the more deadly Canadian thtotle at home

Theenormoue war and navy appro­priations are intended maialy to deal with a situation in our Eastern intends. Financially, we devote to this problem more than thirty time* nil much atten­tion as to the problem of improving agriculture throughont the states.

Think what could be done for the farmers and all 'other inhabttanta of this country if the nation oonldspend, on national development what it spends so readily and cheerfully on war.

That sum of^ money would give us the Isthmian canal, and leave a vast sum over.'

It would reclaim millions of acres of arid lanAs, and supply homeefortena of millions of people, beaidee benefiting the climate of this conn try wonderfully

Government railroads, a Government telegraph system—endless national powtbilitles-sre bound up In that aum of one hundred and eighty mllliooa

But there is no such anm except for war.

The fhtuire hiroriaa endeavoring to form nn estimate of our degree of civi-ligation will attach great importance to those two items in our national budget. He will conclude that nndemeath all our alleged refinement the fighting man ruled suprime.

One hundred nnd: eighty millions for the department that kills men.

Five millions for the department that feeds' men. J-.

Time wis when thie filthy habit was vary prevalent In the United 8tates. Even men who pretended to refinement were not aehamed to practice it.
