The Coming 7ower

! CAm0 upon HelO once,
Long, long ago,
Where all the daisies in the world
Had come to grow.
They laughed, and bowed to me that
day
A went by,
And Knocked the whiteness Of the
clouds
That swept the sky,
Their yellow faces in the sun
Were bright as gold;
Ono could not think they'd ever be
Faded or old
They danced, and Knocked all things
that were
Things learned and wise---
And seemed to wish to quiz me, too,
With their bright eyesl
They choked the clover in the field,
That smelled so sweet;
And when I tried to wade through
them
They caught my feetl
They are not stars the angels plucked
In idle hours!
I know they are enchanted things,
| And pagan fowersl

BRITISH FOOD is
STILL FAR BEHIND
Is Not Likely to Be Made Good for a
Year--A Gloomy Outlook Is
Presented.

London, Jan. 1.-THE shortage in
production of food caused by the wal
has not yet been made good, and is not
likely TO be in the next year, says
Charles 0. McCurdy, parliamentary sec
retary to the food ministry.
The wheat crops in exporting conn-
tries had run down while the demand
for wheat in the importing countries
was up, he declared That was largely
due TO the fact that crops in central
Europe were greatly diminished He
predicted that the next year would be
the most critical since the commence
ment of the war with regard to sup
plies and prices of both butter and
cheese. The dairy product Of Australia
would be much below the normal owing
to droughts =
There was no prospect of the worlds
supplies of sugar being increased, he
said
As regards meat there was a surplus
in the country at the present time, bht
it should not be inferred from this
that there would be no difficulty as re-
CARDS the meat situation in the coming
year. In Europe, owing to the ravages
of war, the meat products would, be
down by about 100000 tons. 1t was
evident, he said, that the people of
Europe would not be able to eat as
much meat as they had in the year
before the war.
Mr.. McCurdy understood that the
acquisitions from France, Belgium and
Italy at present amounted to between
100000 and 100000 tons. He did not
see where they were going to get it
but it was evident that il people of
this country got as much meat as they
needed they would only have it be-
cause the rest of Europe was hungry
and to a large extent would be starv-
ing
At the present time, however, there
was a glut of meat in England and
during the next two or three months
1t would ge arriving at rate at which
il would be difficult to dispose of it.
There was serious risk of large
proportion of these cargoes going bad
owing to inadequate cold storage faeili-
ties.
