Why Sugar Crop Was Failure.

A body of French monks who mi knew that a popular sweet was ob- tained from the famous Tree of Can ada, so they went forth into the woods and tapped and collected sap and boiled 1t down and put their maple sirup upon the market in beautiful eat it.
 Investigation disclosed, says Little Journal, that the holy men, in their abundant and unquestioning faith, had tapped every old tree near the mon- astery. and this boiled-down juice from pine, hickory, spruce. maple, etc, did not appeal to the American palate.

to the gathering by State Chairman
John Thomas. and the meeting was
regarded as the opening gun Of the
Republican campaign in Idaho for the

"The party must march forward to

or the front door," Benjamin contin-
ued.
There is today propaganda to
overturn this government, by the In

national campaign will be policy to

BULCARIANS AROUSED

Of the Associated Press). The Bull

much concerned because of the large
number Of reported massacres Of
Serbians and others by Bulgarians
during the war, now that they have
been brought face to face with the
facts.
Premier Theodoroff declared that
many of the reports were, "unfortun-

untrue. He expressed the belief that
America and England would weigh
the evidence for each side, and then
give an impartial verdict. He called
attention to the report Of the Carnegie

found that atrocities had been COM

THE VICTORY LOAN

Did you ever live in a country town
whose fire department was composed
of volunteers? And did you ever notice
how keen everybody was to run with
the cart and help lay line OF hose,
and what scramble to hold the noz-
zle? But when the fire was out, the
crowd dispersed, and few were left to
be impressed; the most officious dis
appeared on one excuse and another,
leaving the few faithful, conscientious
workers to clean up. OF course there
isn't any excitement in Keeling up a
lot of wet, dirty, cold hose, but it has
to be done after every fire; and those
who should and don't, are slackers.
Six months ago the prospect was
that the government would be obliged
to put out a big Liberty Loan every
three or four months, for an indefinite
period Happily this has not been,
and will not now be necessary. The
fire has apparently been subdued, the
world conflagration has been checked,
the gale which drove the sparks every
way is subsiding, and we hope the
danger is over. Now there remains
the hose to gather up. and some of it
to replace, with comparatively few
ladders that were lost or broken; but
taken, altogether our loss has been
small compared to that of other coun-
tries In fact, it might with propriety
be called Thanksgiving" loan. AS
the Victory-Liberty loan it offers the
double opportunity of celebrating the
sion OF thankfulness that we did not
have to go on for months and years at
an awful cost of precious lives. Any
sacrifice of mere dollars in order to
put the loan over properly is so insig-
nificant compared to the price we
might have been called upon to pay,
that the nation should cheerfully
shoulder the load. Had the war con-
tinued, even in this country with all
it's money and resources would have
soon felt its depressing effect Be-
cause the living of our usual life has
been so slightly interfered with, few
realize the many sacrifices that would
soon have been necessary. For these
reasons alone we should put the loan
over quickly, patriotically willingly.
Picking up the hose isn't an exciting
job, but we must not say to the world
we are slackers by failing to do so,
even though we lack the excitement
Of daily combat to spur us on.

The "Rev." Jack Dunstan, formerly
of Anchorage, is now contributor to
Seattle labor newspaper, and dis
cusses, with great solemnity, the ques-
lions of the day. In his contributions
to this publication, we observe that
the reverend gentleman has dropped
the handle to his name, and signs
himself just plain Jack" Dunstan, for
reasons that are perfectly obvious.
This is the kind of dope that Jack is
handing out now: "Why should 95
per cent of us furnish the money
and do all the work and give all the
profits to the per cent?" Then he
attempts to answer the question he
asks. 1t is to laugh to hear Jack
Dunstan talking about work AS a
matter of unvarnished fact, the worst
enemies that honest, sincere, hard
working men have are not the capital
istic classes, although these latter are
not noted for their philanthropic atti-
tude toward the people who toll, but
rather the lazy, loud-mouthed agitat-
ors who do no work themselves, but
are always assuming to speak for the
laboring classes. Often, and unjustly
too, labor is judged by the self-ap-
pointed men of the type of Dunstan,
who toll not, neither do they spin"

TARDIEU AND THE NEW FRANCE.
(NeW York Globe. )
accomplished

The voice of the new France seems to speak in Andre Tardeu as that of the old in Clem- enceau. In his speech at the memorial service held in Paris, Sunday, for Abel Ferry, who was killed while on a mission for the Chamber of Deputies in the trenches M. Tardieu tOuch- ed unWaVeringly on the problems that France must face. The Clemenceau government has not dared to impose taxes sufficient to meet the nations necessary expenses A huge sec tion of the middle class is obstnately deter mined not to submit to such taxes Some moral courage is needed, therefore, to say, as M Tardieu did
 'Every one must in justice pay according to his means Two principles must be kept in view to tax the small fortunes fairly and to tax the big ones progressively. When the big ones shall pay, as they do in America, 60 and 70 per cent, then the small ones will pay more willingly" M. Tardieu points out that with the league of nations in being and with close understanding with England and the United States, France need no longer be torn by "Strugges between the currents of her home and her foreign politics., which may be assumed to signify that she will not again t11lDdlIdSS Htl nDeldlS Dy SuCll tl dllIdlltC do that with reactionary Russia He envisages a France relieved of the burden which has crushed her down since 1870, slowly and soberly regaining her economic prestige; a France unshacked; France not in fear of imperialism and not engaged in imperialistic adventures; France that will not trust her foreign relations to 'political generals' along the Rhine or in ROumania
 Americans know M. Tardeu as the mod est and loyal exponent of an excellent cause. They see in him man thoroughly in sym pathv with American ideals. When the Tiger retires, worn out but unbeaten, to his honor able lair there could be no more favorable omen of the best sort of relations between France and the United States than the choice Iof Tardieu to succeed him as premier.

HARNESTS AND PRICES

A good deal of emphasis has been lad on the August wheat reports showing ot heavy shrinkage in the wheat condition. The loss of quarter of billion bushels between spring and late summer IS sensational enough to encourage believers in high prices.
 But the probable harvest figures 34OOOO GOO bushels, do not justify fears of a shortage for ourselves for fOrei ign buyers. The United States Grain corporation estimates our own need at 57O,OOOOOO bushels. Total exports last year, when we ate all sorts of stuff to save wheat for others, reached 2So,OOOOOO bushels Even ii this outflow were repeated we should have a surplus ot more than eighty million bushels. But there is no likelihood of so large a foreign demand. For, tho Germany may be added to our customers many new fields are ready to supply world needs. Wherever grain can be grown harvestS ot wheat are being reaped, and wherever surpluSeS are garnered ships are available to distribute them. No expert Is needed ln the Circum- stances to assure Us that all our wheat needs will be fully met during l9l9-2O.
 Mr. Barnes does not nevertheless, reCede from his position that nothing should be done in behalf Of the consumer to relieve hardSh1pS due to the high prices of wheat, and friends of prevailing conditions are busy circulating absurd reports about demands of the farmers that government take it's hands off be remov- ing the S22o guarantee and so giving the pro ducer a chance to get S5 or SC a bushel. Noth- ing now prevents the farmer from selling his wheat for as much more than S2.2O as he can get but if Nlr. Barnes join those who urge President Wilson to sell wheat below that price there is little doubt that farmers would no longer be able to better the govern ment guarantee. MT. Barnes's position might be understood if he would explain what he means by denying that cutting wheat prices woud effect corn and pork and other food prices The tale of the market movements is against him, as is all human experience.

of the world outside is essentially new doctrine, 1t is really a very old idea In the Apocryphal writings there Is told d story that Is good enough to be included i'll the authori- tativey recognized body of Scripture The narrative states that while Christ and his disciples were one day walking across the fields they encountered the carcass of d dog The disciples turned aside i'll disgust remark ing about the nauseating odor. Christ merely called attention to the ivory teeth of the dead animal, and passed on.
 Certainly, there is enough that IS dirty, degraded and nauSeatng Ill the pathway of anybody's life. The amount of it that is con- sidered, the manner i'll which it Is regarded or the purpose that 1t may be made to serve all are matters which the individual mind deter mines. No one should ignore the unfavorabI>. and disagreeable side of life, but to dwell upon it alone is wholly undesirable.
 In these days, when so much depends upon the individual and at time when he apparently counts for so little, 1t is refresh- ing to recall that i'll the final analysis 1t is the individual and no other force which deter mines what the particular life shall be. It is all in the mind.

My mind 10 ne q Kingdom iS.

My H1ind 10 D1e c Kingdom iS, wrote George Dyer, Eizabethan poet who would doubtless be forgotten were 1t not for the little piece of which this line is the first. A touch of egotism marks the rather glowing description of the riches of his mental realm as the poet sees them. But the idea of the mind as ones kingdom is fundamentally sound and extremely suggestive.
 Regardless of recent developments which would seem to indicate the contrary, the world after all, is decidedly large place. It is SO infinitely large that the person who tries to comprehend all of it, or considerable DOT ton, is hopelessly confused and likely to waste much time in futile effort
 But it is consoling to recall that the world of first importance to any person is the world of his own mind. That world is very limited in space, just about fifty square inches, and surveyed and understood
 Yet this small territory contains unlimit- ed resources, possibilities and powers that may require a lifetime for investigation and con- trol. Comparatively few persons realize the situation and attempt an examination, an ac- counting and marshaling of forces for combat with the world outside.
 The old saying that life is what one makes it has new meaning in the light of recent and increasing study into the power of the mind to transmute all experiences of the individual into forms which that indivd- ual may will. That the mind in its own place is heaven or hell is now pretty clearly estab- lished
 Whoever becomes greatly troubled about the world going straight to perdition, about the time being out of joint or other aspects of the universe would do well to peer into his own mind and see what kind of tempest is raging there If the elements in that small space can be set at peace, there is hope for the world outside
