There's kindly CLEAN of dawn's early

Bringing gladder faith for new
day when
After the7gloom of frenzied night,
Shall come peace on'earth and good
will to men.
There's new strain heard in liberty s
anthem
A new stanZa sung IN the worlds
psalm of life
To the cry of the vanished ones calling
for ransom
The anwser rings clear through the
thunders of strife.
What has been done to the weak and
the small
Is done to us who are big and strong
A crime against one is crime against
all
And a world is in battle avenging
the wrong.
A new Magma Carta is being indicted
Vouehsafing forever the whole
worlds veal,
The plea and thespledge of free nations
united
In bonds of honor as binding as steel.
The world writes new code of honor
today
But the finger of God is guiding..the
pen
And justice and mercy and truth hold
sway.
It's the law of God in the hearts of
men.
The day of new diplomacy's breaking
With halo of candor and truth and
right.
And new clean national conscience
is waking
With vision of justice in clearer
light.
The nations are blazing new path to
glory,
Rugged and steep and straight it
lies,
The path illumined by Calvarys story,
The path of service and sacrifice.
And new glad peace like river shall
flow
Born of the stress and pain of strife,
And the world shall tingle and thrill
and glow
With all the virile pulses of new
glad life. Contributed.

mill FEED PRICES
ARE MADE LOWER

News of the utmost Importance to
the farmers and stockraisers. and to
the whole people of the Northwest, "
said Federal Food Administrator w. B.
Aver, was the recent announcement
that the manufacture of mill feeds had
come under government control through
the federal licensing system, and that
the price of bran had been fixed at $50
ton, with shorts at S32 and middlings
at $39. These prices are substantially
lower than have prevailed, and the
supply will be materially increased by
the milling of all wheat possible here
in the Northwest. instead of shipping
the whole wheat away to be miiled
elsewhere. This makes the outlook
much brighter for those who have
been struggling to keep their herds
and fiocks together in the face of
great difficulties and uncertainty.
''The new prices are already effec.
tive. and will even be made on untitled
contracts. At the recent conference
of leading millers of the Northwest
with the United States Milling Com
missioner. the millers very generously
NOluntetftu 10 duopl tne new prices
for all untitled contracts, although
some of these contracts were for
delivery at prices of upward of 20 per
cent more than the new figure. This
splendid action of the millers made the
new basis operative at once for all
shipments.
Nov that the uncertainty of feed
prices has been eliminated and the
largest possible supply assured, the
farmers and stockraisers can feel Sc.
cure in making their plans, and
earnestly urge that these plans be
made for the largest possible produc-
tion of food animals. The market for
beef. pork, mutton and poultry, be-
cause of the world shortage, will
inevitably be strong and steady for a
long time to come. and the raising of
food animals under the new conditions,
cannot fail to prove a sound and profit
able business investment, as well as
an important patriotic service.
