To what kind of flower did Jesus re

he spoke OF the lilies of the field,
which, though they neither tolled MOI
spun, outdid King Solomon In the
beauty of their ralment.
1t has been popularity supposed that
the lily Of the valley was the one
meant. That such was the case, how
ever, seems unlikely if only for the
reason that this plant does not grow
In the fields. 1t Is peculiarly an in
habitant of carefully cultivated gar
dens. producing its bell-like blossoms
In shady corners.
Not at all probable does 1t seem that
Jesus may have had in mind the Gala
lily, which, having originated In Ethi-
Opia, was Familiarity known in Palestine
mt the period In which the Savior lived.
The Egyptians used the roots of the
prolific plant as a table vegetable.
These roots look somewhat like Irish
potatoes, and In the swamp the Gala
grows so thickly that the yield of a
single flooded area Is enormous.
Gala Not True Lily
Botanically speaking, however, the
Gala is not lily. Tulips are truer
lilies, and so likewise are the leek,
the garlic and the asparagus. But the
Gala is an "arum" and is related to
the "jack-in-the-pulpIt," as well as the
elephants ear plant" commonly
grown as an ornamental.
Lilies have always had sacred as

Fair Kedron's brook that seeks the sea
Reflects the smiles of Galilee;
The lily in~her beauty blooms
Beside the saintliest of tombs;
And "He Is Risen!" far and near
The angels chant for earth to hear,
As louder still the cadence swells
Of Heavens holy Easter Bells.

Der earth the hymns of love and peace
Bid every cankered sorrow cease,
And Memory's music sweetly stirs
The emerald crests of Lebanon's hrs;
The stars of Easter brightly shine
Upon the groves of Palestine;
And where He trod the darkened ways
Scars Casters endless chant OF praise.

Few Big Mills Gaining
Control Of Flour Trade

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-A strong
tendency toward concentration of the
wheat milling industry in a number of
large concerns was noted by the Fed
eral Trade Commission in a report to
Congress on its investigation of the
industry, made public to-day. The in
quiry was made in connection with. the
general food investigation undertake
during the war.
The trend toward concentration was
attributed to the industrial develop
ment of the country and the demand
Tor standardized brands of flour This
condition has largely eliminated the
small capacity mill in the last decade,
it was said. as the large concerns are
better able to supply q uniform prod
uct. Ten of the larger milling COM
panies, the report said, now have a
productive capacity of more than half
the flour consumed in this country.
Basing it's figures on sales of thirty
seven companies, the commissions re-
port shows that in the five years from
1913 to 1913, the average price of flour
increased from $4.15 to S10.22 per bar
rel, or 146 per cent, while retail prices
increased only 118 per cent, and the
farmer received an increase of 100 per
cent for his wheat

II Report Discloses
IS, 200 More Officers and
Men Discharged in First
IL Weeks Than Were Re
leased FROM Union Army

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Final de-
tails of the demobiization of America g
wartime armies are given by Adjutant
General Harris in his annual report to
Secretary Baker, made public to-day.
The Adjutant General says that in the
year ending November Is, 1919, a total
of 3,422,239 officers and men were re-
turned to civilian lie, and adds:
more than $4,000 more officers and
men were discharged from service dur
ing the first twelve weeks Of the recent
rehabilitation than were discharged
from the Union Army during the entire
Civil War demobilization period of one
end one-half years; more than twice
the total Civil War number were dis
charged within the first SIX months, and
more than three times that number
were discharged within the first eight
and one-half months Of the recent de-
mobilization.
"The comparison is further accentu-
ated when it is considered that the
greater part of the World War emcr-
gency army had to be transported
thousands of miles across the ocean
prior to its demobilization, which was.
moreover, conducted throughout in a
disciplined and orderly manner in
marked contrast with the procedure
u PiS'oHliIB 1t tHc CiCSe OF the civil
War, no man being separated from
service during the recent demobiliza-
ton until every necessary detail, in
cluding careful physical examination,
had been properly accomplished.
General Harris's report shows that
at the end of the last fiscal year, or on
last June 80, the strength of the army
was 15,451 officers and 1S4S48 enlisted
men. At the close of the preceding
fiscal year, or on June 80, 1919. the
army was composed of 1886 officers
and 758,879 men. The Officers Reserve
Corps last June so numbered 68,232,
distributed from Brigadier General
down to Second Lieutenant.
The low desertion average, during the
year ending last June 80, is commented
on by General Harris, who places the
average ct 1877 per cent, as compared
with a pre-war average of 8 and per
cent. The low average, the Adjutant
General declares, is especially signifi-
cant IN view of the fact that the army
last year was not homogeneous unit,
being made up in part OF old army and
IN part OF new army men.

pnte Arising From Oil Pact
With France Are Kept Secret

WASHINGTON. Nov. 21. Through
dispatch Of another note to Great Brit
ain the State Department has taken an
additional step in its effort to develop
clear definition Of the rights of all
powers in mandate territories. The fact
that the note had gone forward became
known to-day, but officials refused to
discuss its contents.
The new note Is one of series which
had its origin in reports that the Brit
ism and French governments at the San
Reno conference last spring negotiated
an agreement by which the oil rights
in the British mandate territory Of
Mesopotamia were to be divided be-
tween the two countries.
The United States is understood to
have taken the position from the first
