Very Wide Awake
Germany is in a key position in Europe,
Russia is well aware of this and is resolved to
get that key into her own hands. That she may
do so, she*has drawn an iron curtain around
all Germany over which she has jurisdiction.
Latelv some correspondents have got behind
that curtain. As was to be expected the move
ments of those correspondents were carefully
guarded. Indeed, these correspondents were
forbidden to ask any questions regarding what
is going on in the Russian zone of influence in
Germany. However, some few things have leak
ed out that are setting the minds of the western
nations to doing some keen thinking. One fact
is quite clear and that fact is that Russia is
bent on turning Germany into a communistic
nation. To do so, Russia has got her hands upon
the grain-producing areas adjacent to her zone
in Germany. From these districts she is feeding
the Germans in her zone. W ell it is as true now
as it was in the days of Solomon. "Every man
is friendly to him that giveth gifts ’ and bread
iS a specially fine gift to a hungry man and his
family. In other words, Russia is bribing all the
nations she can to become communistic. Once
these nations have adopted communism, they
bid good-bye to freedom. Russia is wily in her
feeding activities. She knows that Britain and
France and the United States have no way of
feeding the people in their zones and realizes
that the well-fed in the German zone under
Russian domination will draw the unwarranted
conclusion that the Russians are a magnificent
people and that communism is just the thing.
But though Russia is wily she is not wise. Rus
sia has been trying to have France become com
munistic. The French know something of the
impoverishing and bloody domination of the
Commune in their own country, Once bit they
are twice shy. It only required Russia’s failure
to be fair and square in their work in Germany
to turn them away from the blandishments of
the Russians who would foist communism upon
them. Greed and deception always are stupid
and bound to overreach themselves.
while herds uf vows were doing their part to
bring in the weekly cream or milk eheque* Farm
work is m> easy way to making a fortune* but
the returns are steady and quite certain, despite
the bitter conditions that the farmer, like the
rest of us> must take with the sweet.

Better Dem Those Thinking Caps,
So accustomed, have we become to “doing
things in a big wav" that it is altogether likely
that we have lost our common sense. This never
was more evident than it is in the epidemic of
strikes and lockouts that have beset enterprise
all over this continent, For one instance of the
result of the strikes we quote what came under
our own observation. A dealer and repair man
who has an extensive enterprise in which he spec
ializes in truck repairs had a client doing a
large transport business apply to him for two
new wheel outfits, Ordinarily this matter could
have been attended to in short order as all
parts would have been in the shop, As it was,
the repair shop was obliged to phone and tele
graph from Dan to Beersheba before he could

Those Double Jobs
We cannot but wonder if it is the right
thing for our judges of one degree and an
other to be appointed to look after jobs other
than those for which they are appointed and
for which they are well paid, as far as we can
see from our lowly point of observation. What
we expected is that when a judge takes on
other than his judicial duties, when he is on
that job he’ll cease to draw his judge’s salary.
If he keeps taking his salary he should pay
for the services of someone to take his place.
A whole lot of high-spirited men act on that
principle. Further, if the judge has not enough
to do in the discharge of the duties of his judge
ship. lie should resign and become as other
men. We. fail to see why judges should be ap
pointed to arbitration and other jobs where the
special training a judge is supposed to have is
altogether likely to be of little use. A judge is
supposed to be learned in the law. Very often
he may know little of business- Many of them
have not stood at a bench or sat behind a desk
or sold a bunch of goods. Why, then, have them
ask as arbitrators? Should there be a disput as
to law. the judge is the man to interpret the
law

Secretary of State for the United States.
Byrnes, speaking at the Faris International con
ference,. did a fine bit of work when he compel
led the Russian representative, Molatov, to
promise that the remarks made by Mr. Byrnes,
would be published in the Russian newspapers.
All along there has been, a well-founded sus
picion that what is being said and done at the
Paris conference does not get the. ear of the
Russian people. For the self-appointed and self
selected few still undertake to run the affairs
of Russia. The people in that unhappy land do
■the work while the few do the ruling, saying
to one “go” and he goes and to another “come”
and he comes. These few have the hideous Ogpu
at their command and the people have no final
say in what is to be done or put up with. While
this sort of thing continues there can be no agree
ment among the nations and Mr. Byrnes made
the bold move of compelling the Russian rep
resentative who does not represent anyone but
himself and his gang, to tell the Russians pre
cisely what the western, world thinks of the
Russians at the conference. When the Russian
people think after they .have become informed,
they will in the main think right. When the Rus
sian tyrants realize that the Russian people are
thinking) they will understand that the day of
the tyrant is past and will move ungraciously
and bear-like to save their own skins. The fate
of those other tyrants, the Czars, is not unknown
to Molatov and Stalin and other of that kidney.
Evidently the day of lipstick and cologne water
diplomacy is nesting with the auk and the dodo.

Those Wonderful Harvest Fields
We had the pleasure of taking a leisurely
motor trip through the region north of Mitchell.
And such richness of harvest fields one thinks
difficult to surpass. Field after field appeared,
mile on mile of grain that caused one to wonder
Bow it could, ever be harvested. Only one who
has spent many a day in the harvest field knows
anything of the labor entailed in the cutting and
stocking of crops so abundant. And now those
farmers are in the midst of threshing. a task
these hot days that wrings the withers of all
hut the sturdiest. Along with the grain fields
’great fields of rapidly growing corn were to be
seen on nearly every farm. In a few weeks silo
filling will be the order of the day, another job
where the weakling is sadly out of place. On
nearly every farm one saw a full quota of cattle
grazing their happy way to, the autumn market.
but he .should do .so from his bench and
at the arbitrator’s table. We do not like
dual way of carrying on.

Highly Acceptable
The fine service rendered by our midsum
mer choirs is highly acceptable. Choir galleries
are as hot of a midsummer day as the body of
the church. The folk who lead in the service of
praise during the week work as hard for their
daily bread as any who enjoy their singing or
playing. They have their full share of planning
to attend practice and to attend to those other
matters involved in making a living. We should
like those singers and players know that those
who hear are grateful to them and should like
to give every one of them oui’ personal and com
munity thanks.
While we are on this subject of summer
worship we dare to offer a suggestion, namely,
that church boards see to it that the summer
services are of the brightest and most helpful
nature possible. There are those, situated finan
cially ahd socially so that they may enjoy a va
cation in the forest‘or by the sea shore or the
river. These are to be congratulated on their
privileges and everyone wish them well. On tlie»
other hand, there are a great many who are
compelled to stay by the stuff and to work
even harder during the hot summer days than
in the cooler seasons. For them the Sunday serv
ice is about the only cessation they enjoy from
the grind of life. Hence the duty of church
boards to see that those who so situated find
the hour of public worship the brightest and
best possible. Statesmen, businessmen and social
workers are unanimous in saying that where
church services are attractive and popular, com
munity and national life are at their best. Church
non-attendance is largely a habit, and a bad
habit that works ill results.

Note and Comment
Surely it is time for all concerned that the
present way of carrying1 on is speeding the
day of bitter want and grinding trouble of near
ly every variety. The strike and the lockout
are beckoning the time of jobless days and
orderless mails. To those who see both sides
of the case there is an evident lack of judge
ment on both sides. What we fear is that labor
is not wisely led. We are quite sure on that
point. Labor needs to do a thorough job at
housecleaning in this respect. Labor’s slogan
must be “Labor leaders, get this thing ‘settled
or get out.” Everyone of us must tell the
government the same thing. There has been
dilly-dallying and self-seeking aplenty. We
must get things going. And they will get going
when the people make a demand of that sort,
Here it is the middle of August1 and trade
matters are growing worse. Orders to no end
are being unfilled. Labor is pounding the side
walk while his wife is nearing |he bottom of
the flour barrel. When Fall cold is here and
there i$ no coal in the cellar and no bacon in
the pantry plain people will be exasperated
and may start to throw things. We have not
an hour to lose.
