FOOD FOR MIND OR BODY.

Word comes from Locansport that
newspaper editor of that thriving
city has abandoned his noble profe1-
sion and opened restaurant. This
news will be received by other news
paper men with what the novelists
call mingled emotions.
They will understand at once, of
course, that the oommercisl prospect
has been too great temptation. From
their own experience with restaurant
checks they feel sure that profits must
be large and fortunes certain for those
who are in the business OF feeding their
fellow men. They may oven have .
certain sympathy with their former
fellow journalist in bis new undertaking,
and his local brethren, as a passing
thought, will hope that he will enter
aooeptabIy to the fastidio,n editorial
appetite.
The supplying of food for the body
is an honorable occupation; no editor
will deny that, but what editor viii
admit il compares with The work of
providing sustenanoe for tho nindf--

THE RESTING PLACE.

Oh, ! have known the noisy town, and
tramped lts pavements up and down,
The winds of trade have stlIng my tnce
and blown me here and there;
I've stood and talked with men who ssrs
their golden idols weet by week,
And trampled on the gentier things
and never stopped 10 care.
Oh, have played the dreary gane Of
fighting for bit of fame,
I've heard the cheering rpultitusie and
| have heard its ieers;
| know how tired those great men sre, of
leaving home and travelling far,
know how much they miss the ioys
which come with humber years.
I've thurnbIeei and worn tho book n life,
I've learned the pages hot with strife.
I've played the led, and played the
youth, I've laughed and loved and
wept.
I've turned from Joys that ] pe'~-esr.-d 10
journey East or journey West,
And in the end I've always wished thst
what Id lost Id kept.
The Lord above has shielded me from
much that might have come 20 be,
Has let me wander far away and br ought
me safely back,
But wheresoever I've chanced To TO aTn my
soul has always yesrned for b ONE.
The flowers | sought have never
blooned along railroad track
For neither fame nor yellow gold tbs
fancy of a man can bold.
They lure him for little while, but room
he must return
Unto the peace and calm and play abiding
where his loved ones stay
The glory Of the world Il found where
happy candles burn.

Thus the noblest animal that God gave

We all will regret to zee the faithful

ARE PRICES GOING DOWN?

Comparison Of good prices for the
past few years conveys an idea of what
may be expected during 1920 unless there
should be unexpected developments;
the figures as interpreted by the Attorney
General OF the 'nited States indicate
that the peak has been reached and that
from this time on We may reasonably ex-
pect more favorable quotations on food
stuffs The significant feature Is IN the
stationary prices from August to Decem-
Der, IN previous years advances were re-
corded at that time Of year, and, although
the drop for which we have been waiting
anxiously has not arrived there is salts
faction IN the assurance that there Is d
prospect Of lower levels.
The statement OF the Attorney-Gen-
eral, however, makes it clear that popular
prices cannot be had without cooperation
on the part Of the consumer. 1t Is specific
In declaring that eAravagant buying must
be stopped. Prosecution Of prohteers Is
necessary when evidence is available,
but it is not enough-people must get
out Of the habit Of paying exorbitant
prices for things that can be dispensed
with for a time, and above all there must
be increase production in every line OF

The Return of the Railroads !.

Several months ago President Wilson
announced his intention Of having the
railroads returned TO the control Of their
owners on January 1, 1920. Thereby ne
allowed plenty of time for the Congress 10
enact the legislation necessary TO making
this proceeding effective, especially in the
matter OF carrying out the obligations
entered into by the government at the
time Of the transfer
But during these seven months the
Congress neglected this important duty,
SO President Wilson had to delay the
return. To have made the transfer back on
January / would have resulted IN great
confusion. and while he has issued the re-
oured proclamation, he has delayed the
date to March l.
Now let us see if Congress will be able To
enact the necessary legislation before the
arrival OF the date thus definitely fixed.

hope that appears to have sprung up in the
