o, the Lord has blessed our country
in a thousand different ways,
He has lined its shores with water
where the sun each morning
plays:
He has crowned its hills with splen-
dor and has sown its fields with
grain,
I wonder with such beauty why
the lips Of men complain.
We've a land of silver rivers. we've
the palm tree and the pine,
And beneath our starry banner we
have every plant and vine:
Oh, I don't know how to say it, but
the Lord has lavished here
All that mortal man could wish for,
for his comfort and his cheer.
In our mines are gold and silver and
the more enduring steel.
there's not one lighted cottage
but contentment should reveal;
Here the children wake to laughter
and the men, whoe'er they be.
Find their every task the gateway
unto opportunity.
Oh. the Lord has blessed our coun-
try. it is rich with happy fires.
1t is rich with every treasure which
the soul of man desires.
Here his soul may find expression in
h joys he would attain.
And I wonder in such beauty why the
lips of men complain.

Flour Going To Waste
New York Sun and Herald.

New YORK sun Herald.
With or without congress authority.
Julius H. Barnes, head IF the United
State Grain Corporation. wants to
rush more than $50, 600. 600 of flour
to save thousands of human beings
in Austria, Poland and Armenia
from starving to death. Nobody
planes him for that. There are
more breadstuffs in this country than
can be disposed Of in foreign mar
kets. The grain administration has
on its hands thousands of tons of
food which it can't get rid Of any
where or anyhow. And Mr.. Barnes
is quite right te say that when $780,
600 barrels of flour are spelling an,
his hands, because he can't sell any
OF it, it is a shame not TO send it to
save famished people from death by
starvation.
But with all sympathy for those
starving peoples, and with all sup
port Of Mr.. Barnes plea for giving
them relief. n may also justly re-
mind the United States Grain Cor
poration and the United States gov
eminent h a a wrong has been done
the American people to make them
pay famine prices for their bread.
This is exactly what they had TO do
when such prodigious. SURPRISES of

the supplies, n if they cannot 2bc

Five million barrels Of flour! II
the United States there is an cstimat-
ed number of some 20, 900, 900 fam
ities. A whole barrel Of flour for
n American family out Of every
U A. quarter of a barrel of flour
for every American family. And all
of it going to waste!
Mr.. Barnes declares hat American
people will not buy it because it is
flour made of soft winter wheat and
they want only the higher grades OF
f1ours. This may be the fact, al
though it also may be the fact that
the American people were not will
ing to pay nearly s11 a barrel for
such flour. If they could have
bought the inferior flour for some
thing like what they used to pay for
the very best grade of flour, they
might have been oiad to take it.

MORE FOR FLOUR,
BARNES WARNING

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-In a circular
sent broadcast Sunday, julius H
Barnes, United States wheat director
warns the country of possible radical
price changes when government sta
bilization is withdrawn from grain
prices at the end of the coming June
Apparently Mr.. Barnes is not quite
sure whether wheat will jump or de
cline in price, but he seems to be
sure that something will happen and
he advises all growers and wheat deal
ers to exercise caution.
He calls attention to changing psy
chology on the part of large sections
of the American population pointing
to the fact that the grain corporation's
pure wheat -four has met with an un
expectedly popular reception which in
turn, as he sees it, points the fact that
thrift as q national characteristic may
become contagious as "extravagance
has been"
At the same time he attributes re
cent price advances in some grades Of
flour to restricted transportation and
extraordinary Indifference to expendi
lures by a section of our people"

become damaged to such an extent as
to be dangerous to feed. If you find
your hay heating. repack 1t and leave
two or three inches OF space for circu
lation of air.
Place the bottom row on edge and
the next layer crosswise, and SO on
up, with ample airspaces. A good
circulation of air in the first place
would have helped cure the hay, and
is later, an insurance against further
mold or rot. The rainy season follow
ing the hay harvest in the central
west was responsible for much dam
age in several market districts, city

FARMERS RULE ONTARIO.

Taking a glance across the BORDER
we learn that the farmers have cap
tured the Canadian government build
ings at Ottawa, Ontario, and are to
rule that rich province for the next
few years. E. C.. Drury, the new
premier has lived on a farm all his
life, has been a force in the agricultur-
al progress of his community, and
known as a man of wide observation
and constructive thinking.
The farmers captured As seats in the
last campaign, and the laborites
having joined with them. the farmers
now control. or at least have ma
jority in the legislature.
Mr. Drury announces that the farm
ers are against the red flag, and all
that it signifies. This first trial of
legislation without professional poll
ticians in the cabinet will be watched
with interest by farmers in this country
who will hope for broad-guage, con-
structive 1awmaking across the line.

FARM BANK LOANS.

In the recent statement in this col

commission of the figure '3" cut the
total sum to $50, 100000 when it should
have read 1898, 10000 more than half
of which was loaned on land in 1919.
The fact, too, that private agencies,
life insurance companies and various
trust companies and savings banks, are
constantly loaning large amounts on
farm mortgages, must not be lost sight

The tremendous debt secured by
