Faces Of Nature In Mountain.

This country, above all others,
abounds in faces Of nature. All the
eastern and middle states are dotted
with mountains and hills In a thou
sand varying shapes, and 1t would be
strange If nature had not INDUCED In
her well-known freaks. On the Hud-
son river. st. Anthony's Nose is a
prominent object, and there are other
faces well known to the traveller. In
the White mountains. the Old Man of
the Mountains has been a wonder to
tourists for many years. In the
Rockies, faces Of nature are numer-
Gus, and as the region is becoming
more fully explored, amazing shapes
are daily discovered. Elephants, bears,
lions, crouching tigers, as we'll as hu.
man faces and forms loom up before
the astonished tourist.

Modern Ideas Of Greatness.

When we ask what 1t Is that we
moderns deem to constitute greatness
among the men Of our own or a com
paratively recent time, we feel that the
standard has somewhat changed. We
set less store by monarchs, for they do
not fll the stage Of the world as they
once did, although some of them have
still large opportunities for doing good
or harm. Neither do we give quite
such special honor to military glory aa
former ages did. Nevertheless, the es.
sential qualities that dazzle the eyes Of
nan may be still the same. I speak
chiefly Of the greatness that consists In
action, for the ruler, the statesman
and the warrior do their work In the
sight Of the world and can be Judged
by 1t, whereas the poet or the philoso-
pher may have long to wait for recog-
milton, and even a supreme scientific
discovery may not be appreciated I'm.
I'll long years have been spent in work.

and was nervous to kill.
The Tanlac gave me back my
health and strength, though. I soon
had fine appetite, my nerves be-

fine in every way. In week the
Tanlac had me feeling like a new
woman. 1t was two months ago that
I stopped taking Tanlac"

LOCKHART JUNCTION.

Lockhart Junction, March 6.-We
are having spring-like weather now
and the farmers have started their
ploughs, bedding sweet potatoes,
planting Irish potatoes and all kinds
of garden work has been done. Every
one seems to put on more zeal and
thought for the food situation.
Sweet potatoes are scarce in this
section. There were many hundreds
of bushels that rotted this winter.
made a large crop last year but n
great many rotted and We did have
enough to bed and some to sell, but
there were many that came to my
place to get them, but I was sorry
could not supply them. I hope that
the people will be able to get seed
potatoes elsewhere, for to make them
at home is a great saving as I have
heard it said they take the place Of
| bread and meat.
I did not find so much flour in the
country as I thought l would. Some
only had what the government re-
Quired 100 lbs. I found a few with
16 or II hundred pounds and they en-
pressed themselves as willing to di-
vide with the soldiers, so you see we
have some big-hearted folk willing to
do and willing to help. heard some
folk say they are eating corn bread
three times day and some say they
will continue to do so if it will help
win the war. We have many good
patriotic people in the world. Many
are ready to sacrice, yes, there has
been already many sacrifices made.
Many young man will probably give
his life and this is more than any-
thing that can be given. Are you
helping in any way? Have you Civ
en- anything to the Red Cross? Any
thing to the Y. M. C. A.? Anything

what I have given. I am not boast

then I think about there are many
that have done nothing, not paid Il

ing to give some of his own if it be
necessary to help feed the soldiers

The Allies took many a critical
month to discover that food had be.
come an offensive and defensive weap.
on, an indispensable element in STRAIT
egy-in fact, ammunition. Profiting
by their costly lessons, the United
States appointed food administrator
Herbert Hoover, little more than a
month after war was declared.
The grain men of the United States
were called to Washington to confer
with the Food Administrator, and
consented to forego one Of the biggest
chances men have ever had to reap
| fabulous sums through speculation.
Between Americas entry into the war
and May II, when Hoover was ap-
pointed, some very formidable wheat
straws had shown which way that
wind might blow Wheat that sold for
S1.SO bushel in February, sold for
$3.4O on May II; flour that sold for
$50 in February brought SIT on May
II.
The Allies were competing for
wheat in American markets, and there
was known to be an actual world and
national shortage. The grain dealers
of the United States consented TO a
program which reduced wheat flour
from SIT a barrel to an average of
$10.50. A saving of Sc on a barrel of
flour, on the basis of our normal con-
sumption, means a national saving of
about $60,000,000 a month.
The idea Of the Food Administration
from the start has been that no one
class shall bear a disproportiOna.e
burden. For the Food Administrator
to conceive such a course in such a
crisis was possible. But to realize
that conception, to meet the entirely
disprOportionate food need on the
other side of the world, without prepa-
ration or time to prepare, and to do
it without upsetting the whole ma
chinery of commerce and business
that might well seem impossible. Yet
it has been done. That it has been
accomplished is largely due to the
volunteer cooperation of the Ameri-
can people. Here, briefly stated, are
a few results of food administration |
in the past year, as they affected US:
At the time Mr.. Hoover was ap-
pointed, that is on May Is 1917, tie |
price of -four per barrel at Minneapolis |
was S16.75, while on May 4, 1918, it |
was $3.50, decrease of Al per cent.
As for sugar, the wholesale price
of the refined article at the end of
1918 was 7.3 cents a pound, while
year ago it was S.33 cents a pound,
decrease of II per cent At the same
time the margin between the price
Of raw and refined sugar has been re-
duced from PIP cents to 1.3 per pound.
And this in spite of the fact that sugar,
as well as wheat, offered unprecedent-
ed opportunities for speculation. Dur
ing the Civil War, sugar went up to

By Julius Muller in the Linotype
Bulletin.
We swing the headlong Looms that
weave
The tales of human earth
Spun by the troubled continents
In agonies of birth.
We watch the steady-turning globe
Upon its spindle hung;
Mems lives are as a twisted fax
Whose thread to us is flung.
We weave! We weave! The sky may
rock,
Lands pass as smoke away;
We gather in the warps and weave
The Garment of the Day.
We braid their bliss, we braid their
pain,
We braid mems hopes and fears.
We knit their silks of joy and make
A pattern of their tears.
Lo, We are old that once were young!
But never, east or west,
Has one of all the circling suns
Beheld our Looms at rest
The world was vast, the world was
dim,
When first that we were young;
And in the half-light of his time
Man walked dim fears among.
He walked dim fears among, and saw
His brothers in the glooms
Lurk as half-devils till we broke
His terrors with our Looms
We snatched scattered threads and tied |
The races face to face
We tied the sundered lands that once
Stared blind across blind space.
We knit mems hates, we knit mems
loves,
We make the pattern whole
OF loves and hates. Behold! it's one,-
Humanity's great soul.
Throw US your spoils, o Turkestan,
Ye tropics! Send your glows.
D ruined townsl Our pattern needs
Your somber thread of woes
Strike, ravening armies! Flame, D

Rise, nations! Rise and spring,
High, high above your clamors-hark!

A PLEA FOR MEMORY

In the intensity of the reaction
against the memorizing of useless iso-
lated facts, of learning like a parrot,
the realization Of the very valuable
service rendered by memory has been
somewhat DINNER.
Children nowadays are taught to
reason things and that may be all
well enough so long as they are chill
dren. But what of the time they come
in contact with the accumulated
thought of the world, and their chance
of understanding it, If they bring to
the task memory incapable of re-
tanning what they read? Their rea-
son may accept it as true or false, but,
having accepted it, reasons work is
over. No so called original think
ing" is possible without the foundation
of a knowledge of what has been
thought.
Then the professional man in his
daily routine calls upon his memory
perhaps more than any other faculty
Memory makes his work lighter and
the results of his work swifter. The
engineer, the doctor, the lawyer, all
are saved much through the aid of
memory.
The man who remembers little of
what he reads is apt to very greatly
resemble a slave No one can be edu-
Gated unless his mind is stored with
remembered facts. To read merely
for the purpose OF retaining what one
has read is good-since we have got
away from the idea that anything re-
membered is an asset. Besides, in |
this day of specialization, a rambling |
memory is seldom found so seldom as
to be refreshing when it is come upon.
And what about the good old Gus
tom of memorizing verse, even jingles?
The first soothes the mind and the
second lghtens the heart.
There is something childlike and
naive and captivating about memory
attributes the possession of which cold
reason cannot boast
