A DROP FROM THE cLOUDs

Pres. Spreckles of Federal Sugar
Refining Company says. Before the
new crop comes into the market we
have on hand 1.250,0OO tons of su-
gar. Half of Europe can purchase
nothing. Sugar planters and those
believing in high prices have been
living In FOOLS paradise and have
discussed high prices so long that
they see nothing else. There new
er has been a real shortage. Sugar
prices. in line with other commod
tiles, must return to normal and ap-
proach the pre-war figure. Under
government control, displacement OF
sugar caused apparent shortage in
certain localities"
There Is more truth than poetry
in this statement and It would bs
well for the western sugar beet
growers TO begin to understand the
situation.
Scientific farming and maximum
tonnage per acre at fair price per
ton must supersede war prices and
hap-hazard farming.

CHINESE HAVE
DAY OF THANKS

The moon feast is one of the most
popular and widely spread of all the
Chinese pagan festivals. 1t has many
Of the characteristics of the ancient
moon-worship ceremonies of Syria and
Phoenicia, and 1t comes as near to be-
ing thanksgiving festival as any
heather feast could ever expect TO be,
celebrating the lngathering of the har-
vest. To the masses of the Chinese.
however, there appears to be but
faint idea of genuine Thanksgiving
connected with this moon feast. Il is
simply the remnant of an ancient In
stitution, coming down from the re-
hottest antiquity as meaningless
act of nature worship. 1t is possible
that in the beginning. among the early
Chinese people, the moon festival may
have been less pagan and more char
acterlzed by feelings of thankful re-
joicing than 1t is n present. However
that may be, no wiser choice could
have been made by the missionaries
In China toward establishing genuine
national Thanksgiving feast than the
selection of the day of the popular
moon feast.
The moon feast was first proclaimed
a thanksgiving festival in 1906 at WI
chang, where the large church was
filled with well-ordered crowd of
Chinese, celebrating for the first time
the newly appointed thanksgiving
day. The sacred building was beau
hfully adorned with offerings of staple
articles of Chinese diet, like beans,
rice, mlllet and other grains. not to
speak of pomegranates, pears, apples,
vine, salt and flour.
Wuchang is great city of nearly
million inhabitants, situated far up
The Yang -Kiang, In the heart Of
China. Its central position. among
he teeming myriads of heather Chi
1ese, renders II a good point for the
spread of helpful and uplifting ideas
md truths, and In view of the readl-
the best things presented TO them for
their own good, II is expected that the
old moon feast Will he gradually
adopted, in its newly baptized form,
as the national thanksgiving day
among the 100000 or 100000 of
Chinese at present under the influence
of Christianity, and In this way also
gradually become the national thanks
giving day among the votaries of
Buddhism, Confucianlsm, and Taolsm,

WEALTH WAITS
THE CARNERINC

To every man there will come his
daily bread In answer to his daily
prayer, though It come from the mill
ing of wheat or be the salmon caught
at the falls of the Spokane, without
let or hIndrance from any power of
earth. If there is food in plenty in
one region, as by the fall of an ava
lanche down mountain, 1t Will GER
tainly seek consumption In another
region. And this the American boy
and girl owe to the good Providence
and to the brave men who made this
country one and have kept 1t one.
1t is too much the blindness Of our
time TO speak as If such a simple bust
ness as daily food came to us as a
matter of course There is, indeed,
careless habit IN which Americans
often speak.
Fourth of July orators and street
corner braggarts alike talk of the nat
ural products of this country almost
In the tone of the emigrants who ex-
pect to pick up doubloon upon the
sidewalk. One is tempted to ask such
braggarts why the country did not
produce such wealth 100 years or 200
years ago.
Why was Dakota then a desert?
Why were the hills of Alabama only
hiding place for few thousand
Creek IndiansY Why did they not
Jorge the iron under their feet? Why
lid not the Iroquols In western New
York pick from their trees the peaches
and the pears such as have been
growing there this autumn?
The answer is this: All the wealth
Of America comes to her from the
work of her men and women. The
victory which yields 1t is their vic
tory. II Is the victory of spirit con
duering matter. 1t comes In the daily
miracle of daily life, where children
of God, led by God, taught by God
alive in his life and fellow workmen
with him, carry out his designs and
subdue the earth.
1t is neither sensible nor grateful to
creaslng trade, of new mines, of oil,
of Iron or of gas as If these things
We're wealth In themselves.
They are only wealth when man
strikes the rock and its waters flow
And this man must be not the savage
man who cares only for his own per-
sopal appetite, 1t must be man, the
child of God, seeking a future better
than today. determined to bring In q
nobler age thnn that which he lives

others and tGe iuundation of several

Senate and House Conferees on

Reach Agreement.

Senate and House conferees, work.
ing yesterday on the Esch and Cum
minis railroad bills, agreed upon $500
0OOO 900 as the amount of a revolving
fund from which carriers would be
permitted to borrow to tide them
selves over the period immediately
following their return to private oper-
alton.
The Cummins bill, passed by the
Senate, fixed the amount at $500, O00-
600, and the ESch measure, passed by
the House, made it s25O,00O,OOO
S. J. Lowell, master of the National
Grange, told Senator Cummins of the
recent referendum on the subject of
retaining the anti-strike clauses of
the Cummins bill.
I'VE have taken a referendum of the
thirtyfive state masters, and so far as
replies have been received they are
unanimously in favor of retaining the
anti-strike provisions" he said. The
Cummins bill protects the publics
individuals created or permitted un-
shall not deliberately create condi-
tions so one class has a strangle hold
on the rest of the public, and then
proceeds to use that strangle hold
under the guise Of individual liberty.
The grange and the farmers have
no more sympathy for the use of such
tactics by capital than they have for
their use by labor. We demand a
control of the packer strangle hold on
food products just as strong and with
lust as many teeth in it as we do of
the control of the strike strangle hold
on railroads.

hourly fear of renewed shocks.
Relief measures are gradually taking
form and fund has been started In
this city. foreign colonies making liberal
contributions Military expeditions with
ambulances. doctors and supplies con-

and the government have been sent into

Many petitions have been sent the
Archbishop of Mexico to send the
famous Virgin de los Remedies into
the earthquake area from the shrine

Resentment is shown In the press of
this city over reports that the Ajusco
mountains. near here were spouting
lava and ashes and that the govern
ment was contemplating moving TO a
safer region. A commission has been
appointed by the government to visit
