AN OVERSEAS DIARY
(By Rev. ]. e. Cornelison who served
with the Y. NJ. c. A. overseas)

saturday, Sept. AFTER driving
over most OF Doullens a time or two
we finally located "Y" man and
found place to put down our cots and
blankets for a little rest. Soon locat-
ed and remedied my Ford trouble and
put in a most strenuous day hauling
'Y'' stores out TO several of the units
of the division who are billeted in the
towns around Doullens. Doullens
seems TO be pretty nice place though
aid raiding planes and long distance
guns have shattered many of the
buildings. More civilians are here
though than in any of the towns in
which we have lived, because this
place must be at least 20 miles or
more behind any of the front lines at
any time during the war.
Sunday Sept. S.-Being Sunday
had hoped to get little rest, but
did not. 1 hauled out goods all morn
ing. Then we We're told that all driv-
ers should put their motors and car
in general in shape on Sunday for the
next day. / suppose that is the way I
we are expected to worship and go to
church. 1t is a gospel of service. so
feel alright down under my Ford on
Sunday or hauling out goods. Alright
with mel That is what I came over
here. .'ro serve, to help in any way"
So my old Ford has just been raring
up on her hind legs all day and every
thing. oh, but | am lonesome for a
letter from just any body. ! have had
nothing in the mail line since l left
Paris in August.

The secret of keeping young is to feel

having sallow compleSion--dark rings
under your eyes-pimples-a bilious
look in your face--dull eyes with no
sparkle. Nour doctor will tell you
ninety per cent of all sickness comes
from inactive bowels and liver.

in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM

his patients for years

HENRY Lane WILSON
on DOLLAR DIPLOMACY

Henry Lane Wilson, former en-
baSsador to Mexico. addressed a meet
ing OF business men in Minneapolis
one day last week and he had three
solutions for the Mexican situation,
although, he was >1oath to recommend
any one of them, but his address left
little doubt that he favors a protec-
torate extending far enough south to
include the southernmost tip Of Lower
California.
According to Mr.. Wilson this area
is peopled by the "greaser'' type OF
bad-hearted, understanding Mexicans.
Were they segregated under a protec~
torate by Uncle Sam, the rest Of the
Mexicans, being pure and virtuous.

new SUGAR Famine IS
PREDICTED BY EXPERT
There will be less sugar during 1920

There will be less sugar during 1920
than in either of the last three years,
according to r. v. Keller, editor Of
Sugar" While the crop in Cuba,
says Mr.. Keller, is abundant, other
crops are total failures, and that
Americans will be fortunate to have
100000 tons, - pounds during the
year for each person, for all purposes
including the manufacture Of more
than 800 products ranging from ex-
plosives to rollers for printing presses
a. well as for candies. soft drinks and
jams.
Mr.. keller calculates that the Short
age during 1920 will amount to nearly
10000 tons less than were consumed
in 1919. He observes that sugar: ID
cheapest in April and most expensive
in August and September and advises
that IL five million families will each
buy 40 pounds during March. April
and May above actual requirements
and then use this 40 pounds from July
to October without buying additional
sugar at that time. the problem will be
solved. l. Ill: i,

CANADIAN SOLDIERS
Make GOOD oNlANO

A year or so ago, this country was
talking about doing great things by its
brave soldiers in the way Of providing
free lands for such of them as wanted
to aettle down and farm III
" You never hear anything about it
any more.
It's different over: in Canada. There
they promised lands to the returning
boys who wanted them. Today there
are actually 1903 Canadian soldier
settlers on Canadian farms. and the
number; is being added to at the rate
Of about 1000 month, which is as
rapidly as it'can be done. considering
that the farm must be made habitabIe
and reasonably well equipped before
the settler and his family can settle.
It is a good thing for Canada, this
policy Of passing out farms to all SOL
diers who. apply. -.
As an instance, you might consider
the success Of the n settlers estab-
lished last year in the vicinity Of We
taskiwin,. Alberta. The seasons total
crops for these 81 settlers were VAL
ued at $76.s97. This is equal to an av-
eraye production Of $1,000 each. which
is mighty good in. view Of the fact
that last year the majority Of these
settlers were established late.
: Assuming that under favorable con-
ditious the annual productions should
average $4,000, a very conservative es-
innate as these settlers are given
every opportunity and assistance to
secure good land well situated. some
idea Of the ultimate result hoped for
may be had when it is realized that
there are ALREADY. 1923 soldier set
tiers upon land. This number, if pro-
ducing an average of $4,000 worth OF

LABOR .UNIONISM,

Had it not been for trade union
ISM" says DR.. J. p. Warbasse in Co.
operation, 1.-The workers today. would
be laboring fourteen hours day.
They would be receiving wages Just
sufficient to maintain an animal ex-
istence. The workers would consti-
tute a great class, denied. schooling
and the common decencies Of life.
I'VE have to thank unionism, he
continues, "for saving humanity
from abject slavery" The brave men
who organized unions century ago
Ioften went to prison for it. England
prosecuted and deported the best men
in the kingda.n. This "crin1ina4 class"
was sent to Australia and New Zea-
land because: they were ''agitators,
but they soon built up a civilization
which astonisled this world,
+; Zone thing labor must realize,"
! says sDr. Warbasse. 1.-THE forces:
which desire profits out Of the toll
iEof the workers are the forces which
control the means Of expression and
publicity.
Trade unionisn gave labor it's
first lesson in the approaches to de-
mocracy in industry. But autocracy
in industry still exists, and succeeds
in making labor believe that democ-
racy in Industry is wrong. And we
now actually witness the spectacle of
labor men and labor organizations
compromising with the enemies of
labor to check the onward movement
towards Industrial democracy, which
has now gained such su glificant
force.
"Never was there a time since
unionism began when the solidarity
OF labor was more necessary than
now. Never was it more important
for labor to be on it's guard lest It
be Geguiled into trusting it's enemies
and negleeting it's friends. Oo-opera-
ton needs the aid Of labor with all
It's strength; labor needs co-opera-
ton still more urgently; but labor
loses it's strength when it ignores the
fundamental fact that the worke,
and not the capitalist should rule the
world
