Tho Princess 1arlatlnskI, 'who was
Catherine, daughter Of Alexander II

TT WAS only the other day that we heard
that the daughter of Gar Alexander III,
tho widow Of Prince Alexander Bariatinski,
was singing in concerts in London in order
to earn her living.
The news is tho more unexpected since
n was generally supposed that her mother,
wha was the Princess Yourievski, the NOR
Eanatic wife Of Alexander, had. considerable
wealth in foreign banks and that the BUS
sian revolution had not affected her to the
same degree it had other Russians. But
thsP Princess Yourievski never knew what it
was to economize since the day when she
attracted the attention, Of the car and was
abla thenceforth to spend as much money as
she liked.
She was barely seventeen when Alexander
fell in love with, her, apd many a bitter
tear the Empress Marie Alexandroyna shed
in consequence of the i%nfatuation of her i'm.

Princess Dolgprouki, her maid of honor
Later on, however, she tried to ignore the
fact that this woman and her children were
LYING In the Winter Palace, one floor above
her W apartment, and that she could even
hear the babies running about above.
Six weeks after the empress passed away
Alexander married the Princess Dolgorouki,
whom he created a Princess Yourievski, a
title which' her children were also to bear. It
seems that his intention was to have her
recognized as empress and crowned in Mos.
cow and that all the preparations for that
ceremony had been made when the bomb of
nihilist conspirators put an end 10 these
plans and destroyed the dreams of grandeur
OF Catherine Yourievski.
SSS6e never was 9 clever woman. but had
shown herself sufficiently wise. to a1iew clever
people to influence and guide her and. had
Alexander's life been spared 4 little LONGER.
1t is undoubted Inst he would, under her
guidance, have granted Russia i constitu-

GERRY TALKS 1T OVER WITH

CHAPTER Al.

All the morning while attending to

Felicia had said. and of how terribly
unjust she had been.
'I never will do anything for any
one as long as I liver I declared to
myself, after had mentally added
up what she had cost me for room
and board in the weeks we had enter
tained her Yet I had determined to
say nothing to Robert of what she
had said. I had already told him we
had a most unpleasant time; that was
all that was necessary.
But I could not easily dismiss 1t
from my mind. And when noon came
1 told Mary. after asking her to say
nothing to Robert.
II aint sure the old girl was so
far wrong" Mary said after 1 had
finished. 81 don't mean Bob would
divorce or desert you-she sure put
YOU had said goodbye to the shop

they have married clinging vines you
know; and the tighter they cling the
better most of them seem to like it
Then you know Gerry, when a man
has that kind of a female around. he
Just has to hustle; there amt no other
way"
II have made up my mind to one
thing, Mary" I had scarcely taker
in what she had said. so intent was
upon my grievance.
Whats that? ?"
THAT Robert is not a rnoney-makel
and never will be- I am so thankful
I can work-can at least make de-
cent living for US"
'It is fortunate. Gerry-if you ART
right about Robert. But someway
can't believe he is so stupid. 1t Il

The Oklahoma commissioner of Ia
Dor reports that in 1919 there were
opportunities for employment of S.
74.TO9, and only 54.233 persons were
found for the jobs. In other words
there was a shortage of 2o.436 per-
sons or approximately 80 per cent for
these positions. Probably the situation
in Oklahoma is not greatly different
from that prevailing in many other
localities. AS long as these conditions
continue there can exist little basis for
a hope that prices will decline. Failing
prices are based on premise of men
looking for jobs.

NEW SOURCES OF FOOD.

Those who fear that the worlds
supply of food will diminish until it
finally shall become inadequate to
supply the demand of an ever increas-
ing population may take heart from
an address delivered by John Barrett
director general of the Pan-American
Union, before the Illinois Livestock
association. ~r-
The speaker emphasized that the
countries Of Latin America are now
entering upon q great new agricultural
and stock raising development that
will seriously compete with and even
rival the corresponding interests of the
United States. He pointed out. more
over, that, in proportion as agricul-
tural food production in this country
becomes limited or handicapped by
new social and economic conditions, ii
will correspondingly increase in Latin
world will become the chief source of
supply for the United States and por-
tons, of Europe and Asia.
Export and import trade relations
he said, have so long held the center
Of the PanAmerican stage that the
country does not appreciate the pres
ent progress being made in opening up
new agricultural and stock raising
lands in Latin America and the future
effect of this movement and oppor-
tunity on the corresponding interests
Of the United States
IT am warranted" said Mr.. Barrett
-in making the prediction, based on a
careful study OF the field and general
situation, that. as agriculture. farming
and stock raising in Illinois and the
other western states becomes more and
more handicapped or circumscribed
in the future by new social and eco
nomic conditions. by dividing up OF
lands, by increase OF population and
by high cost of labor and supplies
there will be a proportionate and even
greater corresponding development OF
new and accessible agricultural areas
in Latin America"

THE BOY AND HIS DOG.


A boy and his dog make a glorious pair.
No better friendship is found anywhere,
For they talk and they walk aud they
run and they play,
And they have their secrets for many a
day,
And that boy has a comrade who thinks
and who feels.
Who walks down the road with dog at
his heels.
He may go where he will and his dog will
be there,
May revel in ru and his dog will not care,
Faithful he'll stay for the slightest com
mand
And bark with delight at the touch Of
his hand:
oh, he owns a treasure which nobody steals
Who walks down the road with dog at
his heels.
No other can lure him away from his side.
He's proof against riches and station and
pride;
Fine dress does not charm him and fiat
tery's breath
Is lost on the dog, for he's faithful to
death:
He sees the great soul which the body
conceals,
oh. it's great to be young with a dog at
your heels,

THE SUGAR SCARCITY.

1t is announced that more than one
and a quarter billion pounds of sugar
was exported from this country in
1919. The government policy of price
fixing was carried farther in connec-
ton with sugar than with any other
articles except wheat and coal. The
present situation with regard to sugar
gives the clearest picture as to what
are the usual effects of government
control OF prices.
Until recently a maximum retail
price of ten and one-half cents a
pound, or eleven cents where only a
single pound is purchased. has been
maintained by the federal food ad-
ministration.' Altho the war has been
over for a year. consumers are every
where suffering from inability to get
prefer to pay twice as much and be
able to get sugar when they need it,
rather than to have the price kept
down and be unable to get what they
need.
While the small consumer has been
unable to get sugar in any quantity.
because of the control of retail prices,
manufacturers have been buying at
wholesale. at about twenty-three cents
pound. large quantities of Java sugar,
which is stronger than the ordinary
Cuban sugar The Cuban crop. all of
which would probably have been
bought for this country had prices
been unrestrained: or il the individual
judgment of the government officials
in control had not erred. is now being
in large part exported to foreign coun-
tries. Prominent commission mer-
chants who deal in sugar believe that
the present scarcity will be relieved
only when government interference
comes to an end. The president OF
the sugar equalization board is report
ed as having publicly expressed his
conviction that removal of all restric-
tons would be followed only temper
arily by excessive prices and that
shortly. ordinary economic forces
would bring an increased supply and
lower prices.
From the point OF view OF a year
from now 1t seems clear, says The
Budget. that the policy of continuing
to hold down prices can mean only
that next years production will be
less than it otherwise would be, that
the scarcity OF sugar will continue
and that next years prices will be
higher than they would II we should
relax control now. On the other hand
II all control be now removed, price:
will doubtless jump for while &c
such a point that the wealthy will
be able to obtain sugar enough while
the poor cannot afford it. Such a sit
uation. of course, may arise temper
arily whenever control Is relinQuished
whether now or later on.

1t is reported that $500 men have
been laid off in the meat packing
industry IN Kansas City. In this cir
cumstance may lie a beginning in the
reduction of the cost of living. When
ever prices actually begin to decline
in permanent way somebody is GER
tain to suffer. The more general and
widespread the movement toward low
er prices the more interests will be
affected. A fall in prices may even
prove disastrous to certain lines of
business and industry. But lower
prices are what nearly everybody
seems to want. SO everybody should be
prepared to accept the consequence
the bad with the good. A continuous
fall in prices is certain not to be an
unmixed blessing
