wheat. A low acreage and the hard winter are the reasons for the un- promising outlook.
 Thus while there is no prospects of bumper wheat crop this year some satisfaction and relief from an oth- erwise dubious outlook is the fact that there is the large stock of grain in the country from the big yield of last year. The reduction in demands from abroad and the prospective re- moval of government control indicates nevertheless that the short winter wheat crop should not be the basis for raising prices. The forecast is not sufficient reason for even keeping prices up where they are.

GETTING AWAY FROM WAR.

In connection with the adoption of the peace resolution by the lower house of congress it has been stated by those who are opposed to it that ''The policy back of this resolution means writing the epilaph on the tombstone of nations and of the hopes which have centered in it."
 It might also be said that it is be- Ing urged as an embarrassment to President Wilson, but it should be re- membered that the writing of the epi- laph or the killing of the hopes or the embarrassment could all have been avoided, if in fact they exist. if there had been tho willingness on the part of President Wilson to give consid- sration to other than his own opinions spon the treaty that this country should rat.fy
 The peace resolution is being re- sorted to to end. the war. We have been going along under the armistice .erms almost as long as we were act lally in the war, and we are still working in this country under war lime legislation, and because of the . stubborn stand which has been taken by the chief executive it was irnpos s-ble to end this and get a ratifica- ton of the treaty on lines which would safeguard the interests of the nation. If those who are opposed tc The league of nations are doing their pest to get the peace resolution adopt sd there is no one who has given them so much help in leading up tc the existing situation as the president and those who have responded to hi. iictation.
 It isn't to be expected that we are going to continue to go along without an ending of the war for another year pr that we are going to continue tC experience the effects of war tim, legislation because of the attitud, which has been taken by the presi. dent, which attitude by the way ha. been severely criticised by men of tht country to whom he has looked as ad Visers as well as supporters of hi administration. Thus, if there is an! tombstone writing or hopes crushed it is not difficult to put the fnge where the blame lies

FIatterina the Cow.


 Two children from the city were farm. It was their first experience of the kind and they had interest in ev- erything they saw. The milking op- eration was especially absorbing. Hitherto their only knowledge of the origin of milk was that it came in bottles from the grocery.
 Discussing the milking a little later with his sister, Arthur, who is seven, concluded: But I ain't got much re- spect, Helen. for a COW that's as easy fiattered as grandpa's cows are. Grandpa calls them Boss when they aint boss at all, and that seems to tickle them so they give up all their milk, when if they had any sense they'd keep it for their own use"
 Riley's Mistake.
 James Whitcomb Riley was not greatly interested in politics but at one. particular time in his life he was anxious to vote. One of his young friends was running fer office. This fact was a disappointment to Riley but he realized the young man needed his help to win and he determined to give it to him.
 Election day thus found him at the polls early, where he spent no little time learning the secrets of how to vote. The following day he earnest ly told some friends about his exper- fence and how he had marked his ballot
 "Why. Jim.' they laughed. eff that is the way you did it. you voted for the wrong man."

DECORATING WITH MIRRORS.

You cannot overestimate the pos- abilities of mirrors in house decor ations. They create an impression of spaciousneSs. They reflect back choice and unexpected bits of color, and they actually make a dark interior lighter.
 Mirrors are more fascinating than pictures, and they are usually more decorative. Place a mirror over table, and on the table set a vase holding spray of apple blossoms, so that the vase and spray shall be re- fiected in the mirror. Do you not see what a Japanesque effect you have If you change your angle of vision and glance at the mirror from another part of the room, instead of the apple blossom spray you may see a splashy length of cretonne cur- tain reflected in it's depths, supplying color to the wall where color was not moment before. From another angle you see a window arrangement l from across the room. Mirrors con- stantly change and so never become tiresome. 1 If sufficient mirrors are used they
 make the smallest room seem larger. In fact, if they are so arranged that the whole room is reflected, the room
 may even seem large, and half the bat | tie is won.
 | When mirrors reflect in opposite
 mirrors the light is richly given back again, and windows, as mediums of light, are multiplied in the room One simply way of placing a large mirror is between two windows and reaching to the floor. A console table
 may be placed against it for a decora- tive note.
 It is quite possible to find any mum
 Der of stunning wall mirrors, framed
 in gold. mahogany, or with frame: painted and decorated. The Queer Anne mirror, with irregular jig-sawed
 edges. is particularly suited for us, with Colonial furniture.

THE RAILROAD STRIKE.

As the strike of the switchmen and other railroad employees continues to spread and make conditions which are already bad much worse it appears to be Q struggle between two factions of organized labor, those who are dis posed 10 abide by contracts and be reasonable in demands and actions. and those who are willing to 80 to any length to get what they think they ought to have. regardless of who is affected or how much hardship and injustice are caused. It is thus the same kind of fight among the mem bers of the brotherhoods that has been witnessed n other organizations for the past few years. It is a deter imitation of the radicals, those in clined to bolshevik methods, to carry out their dangerous ideas and there fore a challenge to the conservative element to not only do their utmost to check the spread of the strike but to do whatever lies within their power to offset the harm that has been and is being done.
 Inasmuch as the strike is denounced as unjustifed and illegal. and broth EELUDu lllEtIUEIS dIE dulDOIlZ6u IO take the places of the strikers it is the plain duty of the brotherhoods to use every possible influence within their control to return transportation conditions to normal at the earliest possible moment.
 There. is no reason why a fight be- tween two factions of the brotherhood for control should cause the country to be made to, undergo all kinds of hardships and have many thousands of people out of employment. Yet that is just what it is doing and those responsible are displaying no small amount of elatiou over what they are doing. It rests upon the brother hoods to do everything possible tc break. the strike and to see that those who have jumped over the traces are so dealt with that they will have greater respect for rules and regula- tions in the future. How can any or ganization stand before the country and expect sympathy when such acts are resorted to or ceuntenanced?
