In the light of succeeding events it
Is interesting to recall the confidence
with which the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look in July Of 1917, when this coun-
try had been in the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Paris.
Even though the situation In Eu-
rope may be gloomy today" he de-
clared in a public statement, mo
American who has knowledge of the
results already obtained in every d.

that democracy will not defend itself

Life Of Chilean Girls.

The Chilean girls reason for being Is
marriage, and one of her earliest les
sons is that woman's place is indeed
the home and that man is ordained her
master, the World Outlook says. Old
maids have particularly h0rrid time
in Chile and most OF them take the
veil. There is little else for them to
do, for they can't all become school
teachers and no other career is open
for the young woman who does not
marry Women journalists, doctors,
lawyers, Stenographers and clerks are
practically unknown
Perhaps this somewhat oriental ideal
Of Chilean Womanhood explains why
the tinklng Of the piano rather than
the clicking Of typewriter keys is the
chief mechanical noise one hears Mt the
Santiago College for Girls, and why the
most important exercise is ah exhibit
OF tine ncodleWorI, and hand-painled
china rather than essays on "Why The

summer and then attempt to fight it
reminds one of the man who locks
his crib after the corn has been
stolen.

plants of the red spider are becom-

ly very few plants >on which this
pest can spend the winter, among
the most important are the common
violet, poke. weed and blackberry
bushes. These plants found along
ditch banks and terraces form the
winter hotels for the red spiders.
Where there are no efforts made at
clean farming, one must not expect
to escape the ravages of this pest

is the best time of the year to fight
