THE BETTER HAND

\ good story is tod of General Foch
and his supreme confidence in the ul.
innate success of the Allies At the
close of one of those January confer.
ences in France which led to the form
alton of the Versailles Council Mr.
Lloyd George and General Foch found
themselves alone in the room. Tell
me-" said the Premier to the General,
in this game between you and Luden-
dorff whose cards would you rather
have?" General Foch reflected a
moment 81 would rather have my
own hand" he replied. That ended
The conversation for the time being.
Many weeks afterwards came the
great onslaught OF March 21st After
that attack had exhausted its initial
force by sweeping back the Franco
British line to the proximity of Amiens
General Foch sent to the Premier re-
minder CT his preference. To a
French officer who was about to visit
this country the General said:-"If
you see Mr.. Lloyd George tell him l
would still rather have my own hand"
The message, according to the story,
was duly delivered-and appreciated.

TRUTH WINS IN THE END

Truth is the foundation of every
thing. Business must built on
truth. Every right move is inspired
by truth. The fact that we exist and
that creation is scientifically perfect is
absolute truth. Life is based on truth.
Just as important for success in bust
ness is it that such business be con-
..2cted on truthful lines.
A false move, a lie, subterfuge, an
imitation, or a deception of any kind
n business may yield temporary
profit, but every such transaction is
: prop removed from the support of
that business and the foundation must
eventually crumble and tn cuisines
fail.
Truth is a divine attribute and every
human being is endowed with truth
full instinct Falsehood is of mans
making and is at best a temporary
tulwark which offers defense for the
moral coward. All men are hard
pressed at times and this false bull
wa-ls offers easy defense. How much
better at such times is it to stand up
ON a truthful platform and take tenn
porary defeat and loss, confident,
however, that permanent victory is as
sured because we know that in all
things, eventually and without excep-
lion, truth wins

WOULD COMPLETE
The P. G.. E. RAILWAY

According TO a Victoria paper of
recent date, the government has re-
ceived a letter from Vancouver
broker, who is stated to be backed by
American capital, offering to take over
the FEcific Great Eastern where Foley
WEIGH G. Stewart left off and to COM
pete the railway to Prince George.
The proposal. however. suggests that
completion of the section between
North Vancouver and Squamish is I'M
necessary.
Il is estimated by the Vancouver
broker that it will cost $4,000, 900 to
finish the l.n2 10 Prince George. He
proposes to ask the Federal Govern
ment for subsidy of $4,000 per mile
and TO ask the province for $1,000 per
nile, against which stock in the new
company will be issued. With this as
s:stance the company undertakes to
finance the completion Of the line.

is There A STACKER
FAMILY IN YOUR TOWN

The United States Food Administra-
tion has asked that we eat no more
than one and one-half pounds of wheat
! flour per person per week. That is,
Jane might allow herself l 3-4 pounds
of victory bread (Which would mean
about l pound or wheat -FOUR and an
additional half pound of flour for cook
ing purposes, or Mary might decide
not to have so much bread and use
a little more for cooking Neither
Jane nor Mary will have any COM
plant to make against the order aside
from the fact that it is not hard
enough.
Patriotic Jane will probably ask,
Why doesn't the Government really
make us sacrifice something's" to
which Mary may reply, eff everyone
did that much. it would be enough
But there is the rub" declares Jane
This is strictly between us, but you
and | know TWO families in this town
that are out and out slackers"
There are two things which you
may do for Stacker families in your
town. First OF all it is your privilege
to convert them. There are clever
ways of doing this which will suggest
themselves to you. There is the in
fuence of the children for example,
and SO often Just clear explanation
Of the reasons why would accomplish
wonders.
But in the meantime who is going
to nullify their efforts (for their lack
CT effort is an effort for Germany?
Doesn't it stand to reason that some
body must do double duty because of
the slackers?
Having reasoned all this out, the
James and Marys of the country will
quietly and unassumingly go ahead
With sympathetic understanding they
have read between the lines when the
4'ocd Administration said, MANY
thousand families throughout the land
ar now using no wheat products
whatever, except very small amount
fer cooking purposes, and are doing
so in perfect health and satisfaction"
