THE STAFF OF LIFE.

The total estimated wheat yield OF the world
from figures gathered in the eighteen countries
where it is one of the important crops was over
a billion bushels short last year. nasmuch as
all the wheat raised is eaten save that whicn IS
kept for seed, this falling off of a fourth IN the
crop can only mean that the race must eat a
fourth less wheat bread this coming year Ii
some of us eat no less of it, others must eat less;
and that waste of bread so common in American
homes will be almost criminal now.
We do not begin to realize the feeling not 1ar
removed from reverence in which bread was
ancientlv held as God s best gift and the stair
and chief support of life. In Syria this mental
attitude still prevails; the baking of the loaves
is invested with religious significance, and to
waste bread or treat it slightingly would be con-
sidered to show irreverence and invite rebuke
In the simpler life Of long ago bread meant far
more than it does for u.s. but our appreciation
Of it will be increased and we shall come TO see
how large part it plays III modern life II
penny or two or three shall be added to the
price of the loaf.

You get the belief in the personal survival
after death only when. you find in yourself, or
in some other soul, something infinitely
worth preserving.-Alfred w. Martin.
A HOPEFUL OUTLOOK.

A writer in the American Review of Re-
views sums the situation in the statement
that the great war took twelve million men
from productive labor and set twice as many
at work supplying war needs The effect in the
United States was that immigration ceased,
many thousands went to Europe for war duty,
and the demand for labor has been such that
twenty-five million workers in this country re-
ceived during 1916 a seven billion-dollar in
crease in pay.
If these figures are approximately correct
and the war casualties continue at-the present
rate for another year. Europe will emerge from
the conflict with twelve or fifteen million short
age in workingmen, though several million
women workers will be helping to supply the
lack. The overseas demand for labor will
seemingly be such that we can look for very
few immigrants; and some wel-known authori-
ties on questions of this kind believe that
Europe's need for our products must be such
for several years that work will be plentiful
and highly paid in the United States

NO ECONOMIC WAR.

A sign of the times gratifying as IL IS IN
teresting is seen in the rapid growth OF under
standing of the probable course OF world trade
after the war; While there is no reason to be-
lieve that competition will not be sharper than
BEFORE not much is heard today OF plans OF
one nation or group of nations to strangle the
commercial and industrial activities OF other
countries Men of broad vision are not looking
for q trade war to follow the conflict i'll the
field What they confidently expect, however,
is competition so keen that no nation which
does not protect itself by wise governmental
action will be able to hold its own III the new
trade rivalry.
O.P. Austin, of the foreign trade department
of the National City bank of New York, holds
the reasonable opinion that international trade
after the war will be 'quite similar to the in
ternational trade before the war" He does
not quarrel with facts, and so he sees no occa-
sion to support by argument his clear-cut
statement that ''the underlying principles
which have forced the countries at war to
build up the great international commerce
which they have spent century in developing
will still exist, and the recent interruption will
not prove permanent Taking leaf from ex-
perience, he cites figures of the exports and i'm
ports of countries once at war with each other
to show that after every conflict there was an
increase in international trade. Keeping these
statistics in mind. and others showing that the
foreign commerce of the European countries
now at war amounted to three billion dollars a
year, he asks whether all these trade advan-
tages are to be sacrificed at the end Of the con-
f1ict.
Sensible persons will let his question answer
itself and they will hope he is right when he
says that Gas for ourselves, we shall doubtless
do somewhat better than before the war;
Much will depend upon the attitude of the gov
eminent at Washington That there is to be no
economic war Of the sort suggested by the Paris
conference of the allies does not mean that
there will be no increase in competition for
world markets. A protective tariff will be
needed and governmental encouragement of
combinations for the development of foreign
trade.

And life lies girt with golden ring. 49,,

You hear them sing by the moons white shore.

And have set white feet the fortunate shore
And what are the of the Fortunate Isles?
Why, Duty and Love and large Content.
