The high price of meat causes the
people to be very sympathetic with
any criticism of the big packing firms.
Decent meat is getting out of reach
of the poorer class of people in the
cities, and even those in better cir
cumstances find paying for it heavy
burden. Of course, plans are being
advanced TO relieve" the situation,
one of them being government con-
troll of the meat industry. Before we
take over any more industries. we
had better take notice of what gov
eminent control of railroads and tele-
graph lines has done to us. 1t has
raised prices and lowered service. The
United States would have been in a
bad fix when it went into the war
without the large and scientifically
organized meat industry 1t could not,
in fact, have fed its army and navy.
And while you are criticising the big
profits the packers make, just remem-
Der that those profits are doing their
full share in paying taxes. If, for in
stance, some packer is making mill
ion dollars year over his expenses,
he is paying more on the governs
ment expenses than half a million
men who are making a profit of a
thousand apiece That seems like a
staggering statement, but it is the un-
biased truth.

When we read with joy a few
months ago the dispatches that told
that the British army had recaptured
Mount KENNEL, and started on the
victorious drive that never stopped
until the Huns bawled for an armis-
tice, we did not know that an Amer
lean brigade commanded by our pre-
mier Florida soldier was in the van.
In that great drive, the 9th Ameri-
can division, commanded by General
Organ, had full share, and the hard
est part of the fighting was done by
the 53rd Brigade, consisting of the
1G5th and 106th Infantry and the
105th Machine Gun Battalion. The
53rd Brigade was commanded by
Brigadier General Albert II. Bland
ing, formerly colonel of the Second
Florida Infantry. The 53rd was made
up mostly from the New York Ma
tional Guard It had a great part In
retaking Mount KENNEL. for which
the Germans paid in thousands of
their best men a few months before,
and in the defense of which hundreds
of gallant French and British sol
diers lost their lives, one French de-
tachment holding its ground ON top
of the hill until every man in it died.
The 53rd took 5000 men into that
battle, and when it was sent back TO
Amiens for a rest two months later
it was only $500 strong. General
Blanding was highly praised by the
British as well as by the Americans.
It will be remembered that when he
came back from the border two years
ago bunch of yellowbacked Florida
politicians tried to have him dismiss
ed from the service. and might have
done so if the war department had not
recognized his merit.

WHAT LENT STANDS FOR

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. It In
the beginning of Lent, which stands
for the consciousness of sin. which
conduct with what God requires of
him. This vision of divine require
ments has uplifting power. 1t sets
before men standard of obligation
which, while it aliases them, stirs up
in them redeeming forces and regen-
Grated aspirations. The man of the
world is a pessimist at heart. He has
little faith in the capacities of human
nature. 81 am as good as my neigh
bor," he says. 81 admit that am not
perfect, or making any serious efforts
to be perfect, but why should /? am
as decent as the people about me. ]
conform to the requirements of the
society in which live. Why isn't
that enough 20
But the manSfwho judges himself
by what God requires of him is an
optimist az heart. He believes in the
capacities of goodness which are TO
be found In human nature. He be-
lieves that men should try to be as
good as God requires. Jesus believed
that. He came to convince the world
of sin. We no longer dare measure
ourselves by the standards set by So
ciety. We must measure ourselves
by the standards and the expectations
which he set forth and which in life
as well as doctrine, he fulfilled. The
man of the world being pessimist at
heart, evades the responsibility. II
appalls him with the realization of
contrast. 1t awakens in him a deep
and humiliating consciousness of sin.
But out of this humiliation and re-
pentence, he energies purified, and
upon all his future living there is a
strange, mysterious vitality; the
beauty of holiness rests upon him,
and he walks in newness of life.

It's. the Stars opinion that the AL
lies will make great mistake if they
try to impose an agreement not to
use the submarine in warfare. If
such an agreement is made, honorable
nations will keep it. but dishonorable
Ones won't. A nation like Germany
can build submarines in secret, and
could then half ruin the world before
other countries could do anything to
check the destruction. America and
Great Britain in particular should in
sist on keeping the submarine
branches of their navies.

The average newspaper reader will
notice that in the past few weeks
there has been much complaint of
army discipline and war department
methods, conditions of camps and
hospitals, ETC., etc. There is probably
some foundation for some of the COM
plants, but there is so much pro-
Hun and Bolshevik propaganda float
ing around that it will be well for the
people to be very slow to believe any
of it. There were almost four mill
ion officers and men in the American
army and navy, and it was inevitable
that some were going TO be treated
with injustice, but that our officers
were a bunch of petty tyrants, as the
Bolsheviki and certain class of poll

malicious lie. The average American
officer had a good foundation of COM
mon sense, on top of which his train
ing taught him to be just to the pri-
vate soldier. We have heard very
little complaint from returning sol
diers about their officers or their
treatment, and while they had a great
deal of danger and hardship their
prevailing sentiment is more pride
that they went thru it than anything
else. The people had better be very
careful how they believe the stories
told by the stay-at-homes about what
happened in the army.

A friend of ours having informed
US that he had noticed that a certain
pretty girls nose was beginning to
look like it was cut out of tinted
marble, we consulted a druggist and
found that all face powders have a
mineral foundation. They stop up
the pores of the skin and give it q
slick, mica-like appearance. This and
the other fact of the confirmed prac-
tice of the female of the species to
powder her nose every few minutes
causes US to fear that in few gen
erations more the ladies of civiliza-
ton will be wearing stone beaks.

America would be to administer the
