THE ELEVENTH HOUR

Wilhelm HOhenzOllern is a religious
man. He reads the Bible. Perhaps,
like most ignorant men, he is supersti-
land might call his attention to the
curiously important part the number
eleven has played in the history of the
little drama in which he started out as
the hero and ended as the arch vii
lain.
The war came to an end on the elev-
enth hour of the eleventh day of the
eleventh month. Turning to the elev-
enth verse Of the eleventh chapter of
the eleventh book of the Bible, we find
this:
Wherefore the Lord said unto
Solomon, Forasmuch as this is
done of thee, and thou has not
kept my covenant and my sta
tutes, which | have commanded
thee, I will surely rend the king
dom from thee, and will give it to
thy servant"
A curious analogy surely. The hard
headed will find it an odd coincidence
of no significance. Wilhelm Hohen-
zollern, brooding, with the faces of
starving women before his eyes, the
cries of children in his ears, his world
dream shattered, his kingdom gone,
and the shadow of his own doom how
ering near, may see in the Bible verse
a prophecy that has been all too well
fulfilled.-New York Tribune,

Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the,
famine point and are suffering a heavy
toll of death. The Armenian popula-
ton is falling each week as hungerl
takes its toll, and in Greece, Albania
and Roumania so serious are the food
shortages that famine is near. AL!
though starvation is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are in the throes of serious strin-
gencies.
In order to fulfill Americas pledge
in world relief we will have to export
every ton of food which can be ham
died through our ports. This means at;
the very least minimum of 100000
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 11,S20O00 tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound T
by the ties of war to the European
allies.
If we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or if we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see in other parts Of
Europe a repetition of the Russian de-
bacle and our fight for world peace
will have been in vain.

INCREASE IN BERRY
ACREAGE is URGED
Properly Managed, Strawberries and
Raspberries Are Very
Profitable

Fruit growers, market gardeners
and owners of small farms are urged
by Secretary Cranefield of the State
Horticultural Society to plant more
Strawberries and raspberries next
spring.
A survey of the state shows that the
berry acreage has decreased steadily
in Wisconsin for the past ten years
and rapidly for the past five years un
til now it has almost reached the van
ishing point.
What makes the situation more seri-
Gus from the standpoint of the con-
sllmer is that similar conditions seem
to prevail in Illinois and Michigan
markets.
Secretary Cranefeld urges fruit
growers to increase their acreage and
advises owners of small farms where
dairying is not the principal business
to plant Strawberries and raspberries
Strawberries yield full crop one
year from planting, raspberries require
two years.
1.-THE profits will be in proportion to
the amount of skill and labor used III
growing and marketing. Five acres of
strawberries and five acres Of rasp-
berries may easily yield net returns
greater than any 100 dairy or stock

berries, soil, varieties, etc, will be

GzamG tage which bore the
legend, '9The Evergreen Shop"
Every year during the Christmas
season Ruth Thomas made hundreds
of evergreen wreaths, which she sold
for Christmas decorations.
This was why the people of Briefly
called her the evergreen girl.
The day before Christmas Ruth sat
in her little shop finishing the last
wreath she would make that season.
"There!" she said, deftly twisting q
sprig of bright red berries among the
evergreen stems, "that finishes Helen
Stanwood's order, and thank goodness
it's done in time. Oh, dear !" she sighed,
laying the wreath aside, 81 do wish

A warm color suddenly glowed in the
girls cheeks and there was soft light
in her brown eyes as she thought of
that memorable night.
Dane StanwOod had taken her to
that party. Once during the evening
he caught her as she was standing
under the mistletoe bough, and
The sudden roar Of a high-power auto
mobile broke in upon Ruth's musings,
and she looked out in time to see a
long blue roadster flash past the gate.
The car belonged to Dane Stanwood.
Shortly after the Christmas party at
Dolly Blair's Dane had gone West to
become mining engineer. He had
written few times to Ruth and then
the letters had stopped coming and
she had not heard from him for nearly
four years. Then, just month ago.
