THE TIDE.
~" ~


The sweep of the ocean wide, is fetter'
less by the land,
And yet the tide upon the shore
Can come so far and come no more,
There is holding hand.
The tides of time that rise, black with
the night of sin,
May push to the goal of a base desire
But they break for the will of God is
higher,
They break where the walls begin
The currents of evil fail where the
purpose reaches true,
There are bounds that are set
For the dark night yet,
And a star that shines for you
invisible potent still, will the counter
tides prevail,
Till no storm shall sweep
Der the sun-kissed deep, =
Or darken the silver sail
Have faith for the word is ours that
the bounds of the sea are set,
But an ocean tide from the throne
above,
The will of God in the work of love,
Is gathering volume yet.

Of France, is now canonized saint IN
the Roman Catholic Church. The cere-
monies which began many years ago
eliminated this month. The principal
ceremonies were at st. Peters, IN

The romantic life and tragic death

the imagination of people of all faltns
Although she was only nineteen
years old when her earthly life ended

woman who ever lived. unless we &c
back more than fifteen centuries into
history.-Current Events.

DON'T SELL BONDS.

The Washington Post a few days
ago printed the following editorial
which will interest owners of United
States Bonds:
The market price for Liberty Bonds
is quite low. Evidently many owners
of bonds are selling these securities
If they are not compelled to by dire
necessity to let their holdings go, they
are foolish to sell, for the bonds are
worth 100 cents on the dollar and will
bring that if they are held. In add
tfon they yield interest at fair rate
and no pledge on earth is more sure
If the Unied States lives, the bonds
will be paid in full, interest and prln'
Cippal. Of what other security in the
world can this be said with assurance
A decrease in market price is OTTER
misunderstood by holders of bonds Wht
are not familiar with financial matters
They take alarm and feel that the!
must sell their bonds before they 81
lower in price" This is false reason
ing, and if adopted it causes unneces
\ Sary loss to individuals VINO canno
afford to lose even a dollar.
All that is necessary is to hold al
bonds. The market price is partl!
manipulation and partly result o
excessive selling by persons who ma,
be ignorant or too hard pressed. Blu
the market price need have nothing t,
do with any bond-holder. He is no
concerned with the depth of raiidraC
cut if he is on a stout bridge, his onl.
concern being the journey across tn
bridge. Similarly the only concern o
bond-holder is to collect the coupons
land the bond in full when due. TIL
price might sag to nothing, but tina
means nothing if the owner does no
sell. The United States is a stron
bridge that will carry the bond across

A Rich Opportunity iye fhe Fire Business

Distributor wanted for Territory with 245,O0O Pop ulation and 16,0OO Automo- piles - Headquarters in I Bridgeport.
 ! The tire industry has seen few finer opportunities than this: A large manufacturer of high quail ity, medium priced, cord tires is ready to appoint a Distributor here and is willing to grant a territory with total population of 245.332 and con- taining in excess of 16,000 automO- biles-
 90,ooo tires will be sold in this ter ritory in 1920.
 If the Distributor is successful in , selling only two tires in every 100, he will do a business of approximately $9O,OO0 the first year and can realize q net profit of S15,000 or more, on a . modest investment
 Discounts are unusually liberal, sufficient to net a good profit on the Distributors wholesale business.
 There are seven cities of 5000 in ' babitants or more in the territory, in which sub-dealers can be appointed and the factory will later actively !, assist the Distributor in closing these points.
 The manufacturer has already started National Advertising. The tire is without doubt the most remarkable from a selling standpoint that has ever been offered A tire dealer with established clientele is preferred, although any business man of high standing and with a wide acquaintance will be con sidered.
 Inquiries should fully set forth the applicants qualifications. Address T. O. Box All, Madison Square station, New York.-Adv.

THE FREIGHT CAR SHORTAGE.

Freight cars simply do not exist in sufficient numbers to go around. They are lacking for exactly the same reason that keeps housing from being up to requirements. Dur ing the war, new houses and new railroad cars did not receive their proportfonate share of attention. Our Railroad Administration ac- knowledges that acquisition of freight cars during the federal control was less than under private control, and that none at all were ordered in 1919.
 Even if there were adequate equipment in cars, it would be test cd; traffic is heavy. The Railroad Administration announced that a week in January, 1920, showed 162,- 900 more cars of freight loaded than the corresponding week in 1919, and PIG, 900 more than for the cores bonding week in 1918. At the same time there was prospect of still heavier traffic in February and March.
 Scarcity in freight cars is a world wide condition. Germany, Austria France, and England join us ir longing for freight cars. In Eng land the railway wagon short age'' is one of the real themes ot the hour among business men, and it seems like that denlurrage rates will be assessed as high as $7.75 2 day for folk who detain a freight cal If a special type.
 As for ourselves, the immediate respect is for a Congressional in
