PRICES LIKELY
TO KEEP HIGH LEVEL

The outlook for low-priced butter
this year is not promising, says A. J..
Mcclure of the agricultural extension
division, University Of Minnesota. The
average price Of New York extras in
April was 64.S3 cents; in May 1881
cents; in June, about 6 cents less than
in May.
In July, however, prices advanced.
This, Mr.. Mcclure believes, points to
sustained prices for the rest Of the
year.
But butter is a food necessary to
maintain health" adds Mr.. MCGUIRE,
land, therefore, is cheap food even
at the prices that are likely to pre-
vail"

ILL LUCK FOLLOWED BOONE
Civilization Never a Favorite
Of Fortune.

With Kentucky won. Daniel Boone
found that, by one of the twists of
law, the plot of ground he thought was
his was not his at all. Almost like a
penniless outcast he moved to Vir-
ginia, but when fresh tales came to
him Of land in the west of the Mis-
sissippi, then called Louisiana, his six
ty-one years did not deter him from
risking fresh start, relates Boys Life
In 1895 he established himself near
the present city of st. Louis and took
what he thought was a deed to land !;
but in 1903, when this territory passed
from Spain to the United States, he
found this claim worthless. But now
the American people were awakened
to a realization of what Boone's lead
ership in Kentucky had meant to the
nation. Congress granted him $50
acres Of land. There in the West, free
from want, he passed his last days.
Twenty-Five years after his death his
remains were brought back to KEN
lucky. And in the land he gave to
civilization he sleeps, this man who
carried the torch of civilization among
savage people and barred his chest
to the shock Of battle that it's flames
might not be extinguished.

that innovation than more startling
use of the same device is proposed. It
is Canned sermons"
Let no irreverent reader remark at
this point that good many sermons
already seem to have come out of
cans, or worse still, that sermons in
general ought to be canned. The pro-
posal is seriously intended to meet a
serious situation and deserves a re-
spectacle reception.
A Presbyterian conference at Lake
Geneva, Wis, reports that 5000 out
Of 10000 pulpits are vacant. It is i'm
possible to fill these pulpits, for the
present at least. A high officer of
the church therefore suggests that un-
til pastors are found for them they
shall be supplied with photographic
records Of approved sermons.
And why not? People are always
criticising the churches for not being
progressive and businesslike. Here,
surely, is progress and sound business
sense. And there would probably be
no lack Of fitting reverence in
canned sermon service, when once the
strangeness of it had worn off.-San-
dusky Register.

The House Of Melancholy Lords.

Some Of the peers rebuked by Lord
Salisbury for never appearing at
Westminster may be of the opinion Of
Disraeli, who after three months ex-
perience Of the house of lords declared
that he felt like one dead and in the
Elysian fields" The present Viscount
Peel used far stronger language in a
speech to his former constituents at
Taunton, complaining of having been
forced to go to the house of lords
'Even a guillotined house of COM
MONS" he said, us better than the
muzzled melancholy of the house Of
lords. It is a severe trial to
one who has red blood in his veins to
walk perforce across the lobby into
the half-light and backwaters of the
lords. Any social Difference
paid to a peer resembles that meted
out to woman because of her weak
ness or the kindness extended to a
man with q wooden leg by those who
have the happiness not to be MANNED"

The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1919-09-18

i If the democratic state rests upon
law, the dynastic or imperialistic state
is founded upon power, and the late
war was conflict between states rest
ing upon law and those resting upon
power. -.
The problem, therefore, which lies
before America today, says DR.. Hill,
is not whether we shall live isolated
from the rest of the world, or whether
she shall cast her fortunes with them.
Isolation is impossible under present
world conditions. But the question of
today is, shall the United States make
a miscellaneous combination of world
wide sweep with all kinds and condi-
lions of nations resting upon power,
and make herself responsible for
them, or shall the United States aid
in the establishment of an accepted
law which shall guide us in our deal
ing with other peoples? Many peo-
pies throughout the world today still
cling to the idea that national exis-
tence is purely a matter of power,
and until they come to see that this
is mistake, league or no league, the
world will not be at peace.
The idea of the nation founded upon
