Seeki ~ Beauty.

Girls are natural beauty lovers. The
bought girls give to their dress and
the pride they take in whatever Is
pretty and becoming. proves that. But
the girl who loves beauty must be
careful not to put higher estimate on
the beauty Of bright eyes than on
that of sweet soul. Do not value
the sheen of silk above the charm Of
kindly speech. In seeking beauty, do
not lose sight of the beauty which is
he highest Of all.

FEEDING Or FRIENDS

In considering the bill to appropriate $780,
100000 to feed starving populations in eastern
and southern Europe, some congressman have
expressed doubt as to whether the American
public would sanction such a step, in view Of
the heavy war burdens already assumed and the
prosrect CT another war loan in the spring.
They need not have suffered any anxiety on
that account. Having put so many billions into
the war, the nation is willing to add a few mil
lions to complete its work America has not
saved Europe to let it starve.
The money is to be applied "outside of Ger
many" Our enemies will be taken care of in
due time, and they will be expected to pay for
what they get. This relief is meant for our
friends, the long-oppressed subject populations
of Russia, Austria and Turkey, who have no
recognized governments yet established, whose
financial resources are wiped out by the war,
and who have neither private nor public facili-
ties for making the necessary purchases.
The United States can we'll afford to per-
form this service for them. If they are ever
able to pay for the food, very well. If not, we
need not worry. It is a good deed worth doing
for its own sake, piece Of philanthropy ir
which every American NAV take genuine salts
faction. And if we look for reward, that too
will not be lacking Nothing could make more
favorable impression in Europe at this time
when we hope to have American influence coun

THE CHILDREN'S. SUCCESS.

Hoover says that Europe needs every pound
Of pork we can send across. This means that
farmers and stock raisers should keep up the
good work commenced under the stress of wal
emergencies, and raise more hogs.
Due credit should be given for the valuable
work already done along this line by boys and
girls all over the country who, as members OF
pig clubs, have been increasing the pork supply
in the state of Vermont alone 1921 boys anc
girls we're enrolled in such clubs From reports
made to school superintendents the Extension
Service of the University of Vermont has
learned that those Children raised and marketed
1000 hogs. The porkers averaged 200 pounds
apiece live weight, and were valued at $17.5(
per hundred pounds.
Four hundred thousand pounds may be
small amount compared with the millions o.
pounds talked of in national food reports. II

and butter pads are daily growing larger.
The latest addition to the JOY OF the gour-

the home table, it was banned from restaurants.

KNOWING OUR NEIGHBORS.

To the average citizen of the United States
South America is almost as little known as was
all the region south of the equator to the rest
of the world, in the days when Columbus sailed
west instead of south because he believed that
the sea in the latter direction ultimately became
boiling hot.
We know to the south of US lies continent
ioned to us by the Monroe Doctrine and a ''nar-
row neck of land called the Isthmus of Panama" ]"
But there our knowledge ceases, or becomes
hazy vision of malarial swamps, handicapped
mountains and poor railroad and sewer faclli-
ties.
We have spent much time in the study of
European and Asatic conditions and our rela-
ton to them and much money in travel in those
continents. Yet this neighbor near to us re
mains a mystery though within her bounds is
scenery unsurpassed for beauty and variety, and
she is possessed of wonderfully romantic his
tory.
Moreover her people, too commonly Jumped
as ignorant and half cavilized, have given to the
world authors, musicians, jurists, orators and
physicians of high rank,

tween the United States and South America
Of ignorance and should be of mutual benefit.
There is already a comfortable friendship, but
great possibilities lie in increased acquaintance.
We shall come to see that South America is
no backward little sister toward whom we eX-
ercse a sort of half shamed tolerance, but q
hitherto neglected member of the family, who
awaits only interest and fostering care to be-
come the pride of the clan.

ADVICE TO THE SENATE.

Former President Tart, In recent state
nent, gave piece Of sound advice to the United
States Senate.
The League of Nation" he said, "is very
strong with the peoples of Europe. 1t is grow
ing stronger here. 1t is going to attract the
mass of wage earners and the plain people here
as it has abroad
"The contemptuous skepticism of the Senate
cloakroom, the cheap sarcasms of the old SEN
atoria hand and the manifest spirit of how not
70 do Il will be poor weapons with which to
combat an idealistic campaign for definite
plan for permanent peace and democracy"
In a somewhat similar statement, speaking
Of the widespread desire for peace federation,
Secretary Baker says:
"It represents the passionate demand of the
man on the street, the simple and unsophisti-
Gated, who know little of the intrigutes and
wiles of statecraft, but who know a very great
deal about the suffering and sacrifice that wal
entails"
There is no longer any doubt as to how the
great masses, the majority of workers and fight
crs and voters, think about the matter in all
the belligerent countries. Statesmen every
where who want to retain their prestige or their
jobs will do well to take notice and fall into
line.

Copenhagen, Dec. 80 (By maiD-
The principles of the peoples right
in self-determination found practi-
cal expression yesterday when the
sovereignty of Iceland was pro-
claimed at Reykjavik, full agree
ment with Denmark, who honored her
former colony by sending a warshlp
to salute the Icelandic national flag
with twenty one guns.
Acting as representative for Den
mark, the commander of the fishery
cruiser, Islands Falk, said that this
salute was the first outward but sig
nificant evidence of the desire Of the
Danish nation to carry into effect
the new Act of Confederation in the
most loyal way. The Icelandic cab
met minister, M. Eggertz, also
spoke in terms of appreciation of
the fact that Iceland had been grant
ed the right to have its own flag.
Apart from this ceremony and the
hosting of the Icelandic flag over
the capital, no festivities took place
on account of the influenza epidemic,
which has so far claimed 260 victims
in Reykjavik.
In Copenhagen the Icelandic col
ony celebrated the Federation Act at
a banquet at which the Icelandic
prime minister was present.
At dinner given here yesterday
evening by the King and Queen of
Denmark, King Christian expressed
the hope that the present order Of
things which had been established
would form the basis for the happy
development of future intercourse be-
tween the two peoples and he con-
cluded by expressing his best wishes
for Iceland's future.

LESS GOLD.

The gold output has been falling off. A
committee appointed by Secretary Lane to in
vestigate the situation reports that the chief
reason for the decrease is the increased cost of
production 1t cost last year about 70 cents to
produce dollars worth of gold, whereas it cost
only 81 cents the year before. Naturally this
increase lessons the ardor Of the gid producers,
although in almost any other industry 80 per
cent profit would be considered pretty liberal
reward.
The committee further declares that the fu-
trre of gold mining is problematical, that the
gold output of the world seems at last TO have
nassed its zenith and to be destined to a certain
decline. In order to counteract this tendency
the committee recommends the removal OF the
royarnment's excess profit tax on gold mines
Without passing on the merits Of this par
ticuiar remedy. it may be said that diminu-
tion in the worlds gold production will not work

primarily responsible for the steady, trouble
some rise in prices during the last two decades.
Regardless of the war and other temporary
factors. as long as the gold supply increases 50
disproportionately as it has been doing, and re-
mains the sole standard of values, the prices
an otehr commodities are bound to keep on RS
ing, with continual unsettlement of values and
continual need of readiustments.
AS long as we have no better standard OF
value. it would be blessing if the output were
curtailed enough to keep the visible gold supply
stationary for while.
