The Sin of Extravaganza

Extravaganza is the prevailing
sin of modern society. 1t is not
confined to the rich and moneyed
classes, but extends also to the
middle and working classes.
There never was such a burning
desire to be rich, or to seem to be
rich. People are no longer satisfied
with the earnings of honest industry:
but they aim at becoming suddenly
rich-by speculation, gambling. bet
ting. swindling, or cheating.
General extravaganza is to be
seen everywhere. 1t is especially
the characteristic of town life. You
see it in the streets. in the parks, in
the churches. The extravaganza of
dress is only one of its signs. There
is a general prodieslity in social
display. People live in a style be-
yOnd their means; and the results
are observed in commercial failures,
in lists of bsnkrupts, and in criminal
courts, where business men are so
often convicted Of dishonesty and
fraud.
Appearances must be kept up
Men must seem to be rich. Hypo-
critics easilyIcan impose upon those
who are willing to be convinced,
People must now live in a certain
style, inhsbit handsome houses, give
goodsdinners, and have a handsome
car.
There is another class Of people,

Flour Consumption

1t is a remarkable fact that where.
as before the war the annual con
sumption of -four by the American
people was 235 pounds per capita
during the crop year just ended it
was but III pounds. Some authori.
ties take the position that owing to
the improved purchasing power OF
the people, they spent their money
for more expensive foods, principal
ly meats. But when yon consider
how high meat prices have been.
and how much money has been
put into Liberty bonds and war
costs, this theory seems untenable
1t would seem more likely that
this saving was effected in two ways,
first, by use of more vegetables; and
second, by greater economy in the
use of flours. The number of
families who raised gardens ran
way up In the millions. The veg
etables thus raised were consumed
in the homes where they were grown.
When enormous new quantities of
beans. peas, potatoes, corn and other
food were being eaten. manifestly
there was far less need for wheat
and other hours.
The campaign for food saving
was very effective. Hotels and
restaurants had been wasting food
most recklessly. The food saving
campaign persuaded eating houses
not to throw around bread and muf-
fins like waste paper. The public
often growled over the skimpiness
of the service, but at least a vast
amount of needless waste was
checked. Similarly the people were
educated up to the idea of the
folly of throwing away good food
from the home table.
In spite of all economies. people
probably never had more nourishiDg
food than during the war. They
are now shown to have cut their
consumption of the staff of life q
per cent, and have not suffered
from it in any way.
Now if these habits of economy
and of use of hcme grown vegetables
can be maintained. it ought to show
a decided effect on cost of living as
soon as normal conditions are re-
stored.

Credit the Boy

Nature has certainly been kind to
the farmer during the past few
years, as he has raised bumper
crops and generally disposed of
them at good prices. But it is not
nature alone that the farmer has
to thank for his improved condi
tion in the world. Much Of the
credit must be given to his boy,
who has been to college-the aeti-
cultural college. and is now making
his presence felt at home. He has
long and a hard row to hoe, this
boy. The idea that the theoretical
side of farming could meet the
practical test was slow to penetrate
and find lodgment in the mind of
the old-fashioned farmer, but it is
there at last and to stay. ~
There will continue to be fat
years and lean years for the farm.

But in years to come he will net be
so badly at the mercy of circum-

training at the agricultural college
will come in handy in determin-
ing what to do on the farm to make
it pay good returns. Money spent
for that education was not thrown
away. as some may think, but it is
now coming back one hundred fold
to the farmer who has long need
ed the knowledge his boy gained
at the agricultural college. Verify

line it may be directed.

NOBODY could have been more scandalized
~ by proposal to amend or reject a treaty
Of peace than was Henry Cabot Lodge in 1899,
says the New York World.
At that time Senator Lodges republican
colleague from Massachusetts was opposed to
the treaty Of peace with Spain which President
Mckinley had negotiated, and many democrats
were against it because Of the acquisition of the
Philippines There was the possibility that a
minority of the senate would prevent the rati-
ficaton Of the treaty, and Senator Lodge was
appalled, at the possibility that the treaty
might be rejected.
1--WE must either ratify the treaty or reject
it, he said. Suppose we reject the treaty,
what folows?" This was his answer:
Let us look at it practically. We con-
tinue the state of war, and every sensible
man in the country, every business inter.
est desires the re-establishment of peace
in law as well as in fact At the same time
we repudate the president and his action
before the whole world, and the repudia-
tion of the president in such matter as
this is, to my mind. the humiliation Of the
United States in the eyes Of civilized man

Of great affairs or Of taking rank where
we belong as one Of the greatest of the
great world powers,
This is what Henry Cabot Lodge thought
on Jam 21 1899 about the kind of politics
that Henry Cabot Lodge is playing with a
treaty Of peace in October, 1919

The president cannot be sent back
across the Atlantic in the person Of his
commissioners, hat in hand, to say to Spain
with bated breath, 81 am here in obed-
ience to the mandate of a minority of one
third Of the senate to tell you that we
have been too victorious and that you
have yielded US too much and that am
very sorry that took the Philippines from
you" do not think any American presi-
dent would do that, or that any American
would wish him to.
But that is exactly what Senator Lodge now
demands Of President Wilson. He insists that
the treaty must be 50 amended that it will be
sent back to the peace congress- which means
that it must be sent back to Germany and that
the president must be sent back across the At

Of Il minority Of one-third of the senate.
