Three things seem to impress
themselves on the observer who

First, President Wilson is in

outside of the national capital.
Second, the American govern.

of European commitments in con-
nection with the Polish situation
and is neither pledging physical
force nor discussing it in connec-
ton with the enforcement of peace
in Europe, but is using her moral
influence toward the stabilizing oi
conditions abroad.
Third. irrespective Of where the
responsibility lies for the failure
Of the senate to ratify the treaty
Of peace, there is an almost unani.

His latest achievement was the

According to his story this large yield

Writes Verses on School Dayso

Writes Verses on School Days"
They have been studying verse in
Miss Bulloch's Freshman class in the
high school, and the students have
been asked to submit original work
written in accordance with the rules
of rhyme, and meter, which they
have learned. Some very good verse
was handed in, and one of the best
inspirations" is printed below. 1t
was written by Mildred Degendorfer
and is as follows:
SCHOOL DAYS
Hurry! hurry! is the rule,
On the days we go to school;
Looking here and looking there
Finding things most anywhere.
Father walking to and fro,
Hurries Jack who's always slow;
Mother glancing at the clock
Smooths out Mary's rumpled frock.
Tells us children to make haste
Says there isn't time to waste,
~ Goes down with us to the gate
Says she hopes we won't be late
Then away we hurry fast
Off to school again-at last!
There to study with a will
Then to climb successes hill.

III. C. of Sugar" UNCHANGED

Sugar is still scarce, and is still
high and it bids fair to go still higher
up to sometime in March or April.
During the past week enough
sugar has come in to town to make
it possible to "get along-but mer-
chants have been out almost as
soon as they were Gin" and could
scarcely do more than supply their
customers.
A somewhat larger shipment of
light brown sugar is expected about
the first of February by one store
and this will relieve the cooking
difficulties, at least, for limited
number of housewives.
A folder from one of the large
Twin City wholesale houses, ap
peals to it's customers as follows:
"It should be apparent to every
intelligent person that the whole
salers and retailers of this territory
have done everything humanity pos
sible to secure as much sugar as they
can possibly obtain. If sugar can be
obtained in greater quantities, as
some people and newspapers would
have us believe, is there any sane
reason why we would not make every
effort to get it?
I'VE have predicted in the Folder
that there should be a freer move
ment of sugar in this market after
the middle of February. Until that
time sugar will be scarce, and prices
will be high. And even during the
latter part of February and during
March we look for about a $3.50
St. Paul price to our trade"
