opinions of these men.
He already has discussed his plans
with several prominent members of
the trade. He has their assurance
that the proposed changes will re-
suit in benefits to the trade In gen.
eral as we'll as to the consuming
public.
Opposing Views Expected.
However. despite this assurance, 1t
is not expected that the conference
this afternoon will be entirely with
out opposing views. On the contrary,
it is known that some dealers will
oppose what they call interference on
the part Of the food administration.
Some are known to believe in the
old adage. 'the early bird catches
the worm" Therefore they think
there is nothing wrong in an early
buyer contracting for as much stock
as he desires. and selling to whom he
pleases.
At present the purchases from farm
ers are made at any time, it was said
today. It Is known that farmers are
corralled as soon as they arrive in
the market district and their entire
supply contracted for. These private
sales are sometimes made as early az

OUR ROBIN mlsNAmsD.


ColoDists stole name from their
home country and gave II to this bird
when they arrived here. The early
arrivals in America. homesick, per
hspS, for some Of the birds of Europe,
picked out those Of the new land and
gave them European names. That's
why we call this bird the robin
though he really isn't robin at all
The true robin is a European bird, aud
much smaller than his American name
sake. Europe has given him the pet
name OF ''redbreast," and he is closely
related to the warbler family. Our
robin is more like a thrush. The blue
backed thrush of Europe is cousin.
SO is the English blackbird. In fact,
You could paint the American robins
breast black and he could masquerade
among ornitholOgists as an English
blackbird, so nearly alike are they in
size and habits. There's one time in
his life, however, when the robin
shows his true family--when he's
young. You've noticed the spotted
breast of the young binds, and how diff
ficult it Is sometimes TO distinguish
young robins from young thrushes.
The spots are an ancestral mark, a re-
minder of the day when all thrushes
were spotted, They may have mis-
named him and called him robin, but
they couldn't hide the marks of the
thrush.

A NEWER OUTLOOK.

Like everything else, our faith must
grow and comprehend more. The great
waste of life during the war should
teach us more unforgetfully what a
precious thing life Is. Men who have
looked into the face Of death ON the
battlefield or who have lived after
hours of almost hopeless waiting in
hospitals will treasure their life In
new way. Sympathy win be rs liv-
Ing thing, not Il mere local or selfish
interest in people, but Worldwide eN-
preston of tenderness and generous
care for those who are in need TO the
uttermost parts of the earth. How
far off now sounds that guilty question
of Cain! We have learned lesson in
cooperation. We are beginning to
know what ii means to work together
for common good, says indianapolis
Star. Here is lesson for the church
es. II they fail to sec that II is by a

~ true to their trust, they will have
missed the great lesson of the war.
Another great lesson which we are
being taught is the evil of idleness. In
world where much work is TO be
done there is much for everybody.
Idleness will be looked upon as Grim
