Chicago, Dec. 31.-The difficulties in
me grain trade during the last four
years have been enormous and at
times the outlook has been so dis
,ouraging as to appear almost insur-
mountable. We have now arrived at
the end of the most gigantic struggle
of arms the would has ever seen. At
the moment the outlook is full OF un-
certainties, but the prospects for
gradual return to private initiative and
competitive handling OF cereals is
encouraging. The exchanges may well
be congratulated in the manner in
which they have subordinated personal
ends to the big problem of winning the
war and we believe they will find their
reward in a gradual shifting Of gov
ornamental responsibility to the ex-
change method OF handling grains
which prevailed for so many years
prior to the war, and which were the
logical outcome of a long period Of
practical experience The shortage of
flood in Europe probably will be met
Ny economical purchases from com
Spetitives and it is hardly likely that
there will be so great a demand as to

Real Riches.

He who has fortune in love and
truth and beauty is entitled to be
called rich. Time and change and ad-
versity have no power upon them
They are the only things a man can
take with him when he goes. In the
process Of acquiring them they be-
come part of him inseparably. He
who has them ''wears his commenda-
ton in his face" for it may be read
as he passes that his converse is with
the higher and finer things and h1ls
daily walk is on the plane where the
noblest meet and greet familiarity
