Compelling a traitor with white
liver and yellow blood to kiss the
American flag is disgrace and
slam on the flag, and the prac-
tice should be discontinued. 1t
serves no good purpose and if the
miserable traitors are to be let
off by placing their dirty lips
against clean American flag,
they will sprout up like Jim Hill
mustard and then it will be nee
essary to apply remedy that
will kill the roots. What will
fit their case better is to give
them a chance to kiss the inside
of prison bars for a few years. -

more true than at present. The
report of every casualty at home

or cabled, to officials at Washing
ton, being relayed from there
without loss of time to the emer-

released for publication in the

Nations that previously had a
full years supply of foodstuffs
stored within their own borders
are now reduced to mere hand
to-mouth living, Not only has
the present enormous demand to
be supplied, but after the war is
over great stores of all grain
food must again be accumulated
In other words, the urgent de-
mand for meat and grain isgc-

has caught up with itself again.
The prosperity we now enjoy is
not merely wartime prosperity,

Nearly everybody remembers
that some time or other in their
lives somebody has advised them
to go to Halifax" They can
now thank their lucky stars they
didn't go. One day last week
the large city of Halifax, Nova
Scotia, in Eastern Canada, was
totally destroyed by fire, caused
by the explosion of several big
ammunition factories and ships
loaded with high explosives.
More than 1000 people lost their
lives and ten times that number
left homeless, to say nothing of
the property loss of many millions
of dollars.
