The God Surplus.

No one need become excited because Mr..
Hoover says there is a critical food surplus
n this country. He does not mean that there
is world surplus, but merely in the
United States caused by extraordinary produc-
ton and a sudden stoppage of movement to
Europe following the suspension of hostilities-
The world shortage is acute ever, in his
opinion, and when peace is signed and normal
commercial relations resumed with all
countries it will be felt keenIy. What he
fears is a sudden slump in prices, demoralizing
production and business, during the next two
or three months. If there is pronounced sag
in prices now he looks for a strong reaction
later with a more serious scarcity and higher
prices than ever.
1t is feared that Mr. Hooverfs line of argu-
ment will go over the head of the average per-
son with long demands and short purse How
ever. international food administrator he is
in position b know pretty nearly what he is
talking about, and his record certainly is one
to inspire confidence The prudent part will be
for to take his word for what we cannot
understand and not be too 1nsistent upon a
quick reduction in prices
The average person who goes out with a
market basket does not see very far beyond his
nose Mr.. Hoover stands upon an eminence
where he can look farther ahead.

Brad's Bit O. Verse
Our Girls.

Our Girls.
Our girls didn't raise a battalion
Of Death" on drills and on tactics
they wasted no breath, they storm
ed no defenses, they charged no
steep height, they commanded no
legions in Liberty's fight. But they
Joined the Red Cross and they went
to the war, they served at the front
mid the ruin and roar, they soothed
and they bandaged, they nursed
with rare skill, the touch OF their
hands was like victory's thrill, thNy
stayed on the job with devotion andN
care when death lowered near on
tho wings of the air. Our girls
didn't drill, nor go over the top.
But they took up tasks OF the mill
end the shop, they worked at Ghe
factory, clerked at the store, and
made the munitions that won us
tine war. Our girls ran the trolleys,
they made good in France, In uni
forms natty they worked IN tho
plants, they sold bonds and stamps,
and they braved shot and shell, and
there's never q man but will say
they did we'll.
