Sunday Morning Talk

A fair. white page on which noth- ing has been written has about it the charm of the yet unWritten future. All things are possible to this clean page. It may be filled with beautiful words, expressing equally beautiful thoughts, Perhaps it may carry a letter from an absent boy to father and mother fn g. faraway home.
 The white page, merely as @ page is chiefly valuable because of what it may hold after human hands have wrought upon it whatever they may choose.
 God has given us the gift of the New Year. He means it to be happy
 one. 4ibeH our Heavenly Fat1lel, when We say that He likes to send us diversity and affiliation calamity and disaster. He doth not afflict will lingly Or grieve the children of men. From whatever quarter the chill winds of 'adversity come, they come not because our Father wishes us to be crushed, that may come by His will for our ultimate good. and then He will bind up the wounds and soothe them with healing balm. God means us to be happy, and almost invariably. if happiness is not ours it is our own fault, our own reluctance to do and to be right; anP our own wilful wan derings from the way of His appoint ment.
 On the fair white page Of the New Year let US write resolutions of love. of forbearance. Of charity, of hope. Let us make others happy, and more and
 more aspire to be like Him who in 1 His short earthly life went about do- ing good. In what way can we fill our unwritten pagees well as in the d1f1 imitation of Christ

THE OLD AND rTHE NEW.

The old year has gone and tie new year has come. Much was expected of 1919 in the way of strengthening out the tangIes into which the world had become involved as the result of the war, but only q start was made. The country looked forward to shaking off the war shackles but it has real : ized it only to a certain extent. Do adjustment has made some progress but it has encountered numerous and serious obstacles all of which have prevented the conditions which tend to contentment and prosperity. It has been a year in which tue cali to. heIr suffering humanity has been sounde6 many times but the task is not. fin Ished, There win be much of such work to be carried on throughout the new one. The poor and the suffering are to be found on all sides.
 Trade development has been an outstanding feature of the past year with the demand for goods s greater than could be supplied. Industria conditions have been such as to fur nish a regrettable handicap which has rot been completely eliminated anG iAEli4S pIODiSAnS III COuEGSa lQeTG- with remain to be met. We have beer going through q period of high prices which has contributed not slightly tt the spirit of unrest, but what has been worse has been the organized ac- tiv1ty of the radicals.
 In the new year we look forward te the settlement of the peace question the enactment Of much. important leg. islation bearing upon the future wei. fare of the country and getting away from the flag ends of war conditions It is likewise a year in which choice will be made of a new president in al probability. It will be a year filled with large possibilities and whether they are realE .d will depend to { large extent son the matter in wl1icI they are faced. Talk will not get Il. anywhere; action is what is needed

THE GREY MISSION

Having spent three months in Washington on a mission from Great Britain as a special ambassador, the nature of which is to be judged from the fact that he was the one selected. NiSceunt Grey has announced that he will wait no longer but will return to England During his stay he has not been given an opportunity to present his credentials to the president and because of this and the failure to rat ffy the peace treaty in any form it has been impossible for him to take up the important matters which he was sent to present to this country. Tn the failure to present his papers lls position is no different, however than several other diplomats who are similarly restrained from undertakine the full responsibility of their ap- potntmerts.
 'eApparently 1t Is not felt that the chance to carry out the purpose of the mission looks any brighter in spite o1 he efforts to get together in the sem ate or at any rate it is not felt that more time should be spent here now hT the viscount, who is too important 3efgure in British affairs to be idling aFay his time which can be put te much better use at home. Ever though he is suffering from impaired eyesight, which does not appear to have grown worse during his stay here, the choice of such a man by Great Britain indicated the import ance of the mission upon which he was sent and this was apparently fol the purpose of bettering the relations ef ths Engfish speaking people follow.

Washington, D. C.,-"France no doubt has it's weakness The iInnor- ality of women, however, in that great country has been shamefuIly ezzagger- ated."

BERGER AND THE LEGION.

Victor Berger is on a speaking tour but he is not finding the country as sympathetic with him and his ideas as Milwaukee is and the privilege of speaking in at least two New England cities has been denied him.
 Berger is encenntering the opposi- ton of the American Legion but in no greater degree than he must. ex- pect in view of the stand that he has taken and the statements he has made. It was only this week at De- troit that he declared that the Le- gion's purpose is to fight bolshevism and any person. who wants half dol lar increase in salary is "a. holshevik The American Legion Is nothing but the tool of trusts.''
 When the members of thesAmerican Legion went into the service @of their country, which is the only thing thai entities them to membership therein they were, the same patriotic Ameri- cans that they are today. Berger tc the contrary notwithstanding, and i is not an organization that has beer convicted of violating the laws. Of th< country, or standing, which Berger cannot lay claim to. =
 The American Legion stands for 10t per cent. Americanism through an ed. ucational programme. It also stand. for the deportation Of Berger, and al aliens who took. out their first papers and then renounced them to avoid military service. It believes that al foreign language newspapers shoult carry a translation of all politica matter, that care should be taken tt see that relief organizations are no, propaganda organizations in disguise that aliens should learn the Englisl language. tl1at-no child born here 0, foreign parents should be eligible t citizsnship unless the parents wert eligible, this having particular refer. epce to the Japanese. It also believe, that all draft dodgers should be deal with sternly, justly and, promptly ans it protests against the release 0 slackers from r Imprisonment uHti their terms expire.
 There is nothing in this progrann, of the Legion to indicate that it i anything more tbsn fl claims to be an organization of. veterans with tn best interests of the country at heart

THE REAL REMEDY OF SUGAR SHORTAGE

| labor trouble of the small planter
 would soon become the labor trouble
 of the big company and the fact that the price paid to the small planter on
 a percentage basis must eat into the
 margin of profit of the big company, is not mentioned. It would be much more profitable for the big company
 to grow on it's lands all the cane it's
 mills grind.
 | Another company converts it's
 bonds into common stock, giving l thirteen or fourteen shares of stock for each one thousand dollar bond The bond holders, instead of reeeiv- l ing fifty or sixty dollars 8 year divi- dend are to receive sixty five or sev- enty dollars a year through the e1- change. Very pleasant for the bond ] holders, but not so satisfactory, to the l treasury of the company.
 7 The literature whose purpose is to sell sugar stocks tells how a company | which expects an output from its 1 mills of 700,000 bags, expects to make I a profit of more than two and a half 1 million dollars. This is more than l one cent a pound Of expressed in an- other manner, more than three and a quarter dollars a bag. Such profits are unconseionabie in a commodity of ] universal necessity.
 Competition will grow more keen as ] the world works up to normal The laproffts advertised so freely cannot fail to stimulate production in every i tropical country of the world. Many mill owners in Cuba have stated that 1 they look forward to only one good
 year after the war. Cuba has raised
 two record crops, and will, no doubt weather permitting. raise a third rec 1 ord crop during the grinding season
 now beginning. If the consumer is wise he will tabou candy at the pre- sent fabulous prices. He will also partially tabou sugar at the present unjustifiable prices. As stated at the heading of this article. Firing up the Reserves The steady improvement
 in the world shipping situation brought about by increased ship con- struction is to be. depended upon to
 accomplish this. In the not distant l future an era of abundance and o1 declining markets for sugar is read l fly forseen. whatever course the man
 ipulation of prices may take during l the next few months. .

If sou could only have this more beautiful skin exposed to view instead of the horrid old skin you now behold in your mirrori You can-and by a very simple, harmless process which you caa use yourself Get an ounce of cefumon mercofized wax at your druggists and this evening spread 3 thin seoatiag of it over your face. warm water. Small powder-like parti- cles of the 1ifeless top skin will come off with the wax. Repeat this daily until all the worn -odt scarf skin has been absorbed.

! the crushing and grinding machinery where the juice is extracted The 1 juice flows into the vats where it is
 boiled down. The process is simple. and the work is done principally by machinery under the eyes of mechan-
 ics and sugar experts. The sugar
 mill and its machinery, that is the 1 plant. are expensive and require large capital, but the personnel employed in the mill is comparatively small. At ! the end of the process the brown su - gar comes down the chute and is i carefully weighed into bags. ca ch
 weighing 325 pounds. It may. conad-
 ently be said that even under the pre- sent conditions of labor in Cuba,
 wages having advanced since the be- i ginning of the war, the mill owner
 would make a fair profit at a price of
 four cents pound for his output. Strange to say, very little sugar is
 refined in Cuba. I have heard of not
 more than four small refineries in the ] whole island. The brown sugar is f shipped to the United States to be re- I fined into white granulated cornner- cial sugar A number of the sugar mills of Cuba are situated at or near 1 the seaports. Shipping hauling and i refining charges should not raise the
 price more than two cents on the av-
 craze.
 Allowing for the legitimate profit
 to the niddleman. the wholesaler. and the retailer, about one cent a pound 1 more may be added to be divided
 among the three. It is estimated that seven cents a pound. therefore,
