SHE SHOWED THEM.

A Missouri girl takes the honor
when 1t comes to walking, punctuality
and eagerness to get an education.
Myrtle Page is her name. The girl
lived for six years two miles and a
half from school. She walked every
day in the week for six years to and
from school. Through sunshine and
rain and sleet and snow she walked,
and she never missed day. Fur.
thermore, she was never late In her
life. She kept her health, was strong
and active and was bright In her
classes. It is estimated that she
walked more than 5000 miles for her
education during these six years. 1t
isn't estimated how much she learned
or how much good she received, but
she will be remembered as one girl
who wanted an education and was
willing to work for it-Fort Worth
Record.
This courageous young lady carried
out the old Missouri idea OF having to
be shown why she could not secure an
education. And as we have said be.
fore, there is no young lady or young
man who cannot get an education II
they want II bad enough. Present-day
opportunities have placed this pearl
Of great price within the reach OF all.

The Carranza troops who, according
to reports, are searching for villa and
his bandits in Northern Mexico, sure.
ly cannot tell villa bandit from a
constitutionalist soldier. The idea
that an organized army OF several thou.
sand men, making attacks at frequent
intervals on the leading cities In that
part OF the country, cannot be located.
is the veriest nonsense The Eagle
took the position long ago, and we
have never had cause to change, that
the people OF Mexico would fall out
and fight among themselves. but when
1t comes to the United States or any
other foreign country. they are all
Mexicans, or all bandits, whichever

This corn, consigned to the Miller
Grain Company OF Peoria, is the ad.
vance shipment OF a vast invasion OF
Argentine corn products which will
be sold in the United States in compe.
tition with American corn.
The invasion OF Argentine corn Is
made possible because OF the fact that
under the Underwood tariff law the
duty on corn has been removed, max
ing unrestricted competition possible.
This dumping of Argentine corn on
the Peoria market has had a startling
and dramatic effect, and is calling al.
tention to the competition which the
Middle West farmer will have to meet
from the South American republic. It
is understood that nearly a million
bushels of Argentine corn has already
been used in glucose.
The fact that corn from the Argen.
tine is being shipped into the United
States at this time Is the more re.
markable because OF the absence OF
shipping facilities and the almost pro.
hibitiye ocean freight rates. Practi
cally all OF the shipping OF this coun.
try is being utilized for the transpor.
tation OF commerce between America
and the belligerent nations OF Europe
The freight rates are so high that
ships have been known to pay for
themselves In one voyage. In spite Of
these excessive freight charges. Ar.
gentine corn can be placed on the
American market at price less than
that paid for American corn for the
reason II has an advantage over Amer.
lean corn because II possesses n lack
OF moisture OF from s TO 10 cents per
bushel over American corn values.
In preparation for this tremendous
traffic In corn that is expected i'm.
mense elevators are being erected nj
New Orleans TO handle II. o. +. San.
ford. superintendent OF the public ele.
vator at the port OF New Orleans, Is
sending out circular letter advising
commercial interests OF the capacity

to handle the Argentine corn shin.

anticipated the corn duty will be re-.
instated. and II also clearly indicates

$4,000 bushels per day. the facilities

WHY THINGS ARE HIGH.

People pay the price demanded for
necessities as well as luxuries II they
can and wonder why It is that prices
have advanced to such enormous fig
ures. They do not understand the I'M
precedented demand demand which
made the more than average produc-
ton Of this year look like only a
drop in the bucket" The following
from the Fort Worth Record will give
some idea as to the underlying causes
Of present prices:
"Wall street never shivered when
the news came. Stocks began to climb
to the sky. Business is business in
Wall street. Even the death of a pet
candidate never delays the financial
procession. Flowers are sent to the
bier Of the departed; but the ticker
ticks louder than ever.
MAN is a human insect.
"He dies and the clods fall on his
coffin.
"The dollar lives on.
ut is without a soul and 1t cannot
perish. The National City Bank Of
New York, or rather its financial re-
viewer, is optimistic Notwithstanding
that the worlds wheat crop is 25 per
cent below last year and the prospect
is that every available bushel will be
wanted to meet normal consumption,
leaving practically nothing 20 be left
over.
This financial review OF Gotham
has discovered that the situation is
aggravated, that there is no compen.
sating abundance in other food crops.
''IIe predicts that corn will sell in
the Middle West at the price Of 81 per
bushel. and this will be reflected in
the price OF meat

Farmers should produce foodstuffs
and feedstuffs the coming year. There

mand. Peace is two years off unless
all the signs are misleading. II the
farmers OF America are expected to
feed the world Il Is time for them TO
