4 sOIuIeT OF the legion
Lay on the fields of France,
Some one had relieved him
Of hat and coat and pants.
A comrade knelt beside him
And asked if he were hurt
And when he got no answer
He copped his undershirt.

GOVERNMENT METHODS.

"God help the who has any dealings with
the government" said Congressman Robert Luce
of Massachusetts in a recent address. He denied
that government officials dishonest, but COM
planned that they follow systems adopted a genera
ton ago, with too many men looking for presidents
rather than looking ahead to see the country s
needs.
Public officials feel that If they can say they
are doing the things the way they have always
been done, that thereby they escape censure. But
a business that tried to run on that principle would
soon go to pieces. A successful business always
has to be studying its methods so as to construct
new systems that will work more eXpeditiousy.
1t is time for point of view in government
service, with constant re-eXamination of methods
to see if they can be organized more efficiently.

tai shrink painfully These are incidents Of an inn
perative period of readjustment
But taken as a whole, the condition OF the
country is highly prosperous Deflation had to come
The law Of supply and demand is as inevitable as
the law Of gravitation. The price of coal is still
high because production has not yet caught up
with demand, but it is catching up, and the price
of fuel is most parts of the United States will take
a sharp drop soon.
The price Of oil not only has not declined, but
il is bound to go higher ultimately than it is now
because the demand for oil and oil products Is
greater than the possible supply, and the demand
is increasing
The outlook for 1921 is bright, if we only have
a little common sense. The readjustment still in
progress is bound to be irritating to some it VIII
bring disaster; but for the nation at large the
horn of plenty has been turned upside down We
have an actual prosperity such never saw
before and such as never has been poured out upon
any other nation people.

there is a spring inside the clock.
Nurse Jane winds up the spring,

RACING FOR THE OIL SUPPLY.

The governments of the world are competing for
all possible sources of supply for Oil. The power
that controls oil will go far toward dominating the
world commercially. While England, France, Japan,
Holland and Russia have been securing the world
for new sources the United States has neglected to
provide for its future
South America contains great oil resources. Mex
leo is furnishing 1000 600 barrels this year, and
should supply double that amount This country can
well afford to make many concessions for favorable
terms for development of these supplies.
Oil is the ideal fuel, saving dirt and smoke
and burning efficiently 1t reduces labor cost to the
minimum, and makes the community independent
of labor troubles and prOfiteering in the mines.

THE CONSUMERS STRIKE.

The present slackening of business has been
created by resentment of the people against high
prices But it never pays to break initiation by
forcing the people to idleness Stoppage of produc-
ton is a poor remedy for lack of production If all
the people stop buying it must result in much dis
tress.
A great many people may all at once discover
that they are short of household necessaries. Then
if they rush in buy all at once, the factories Will
not be able to supply their demands and the prof-
teers will jack up prices again. The best policy is
steady and regular buying as needs develop. This
will stabilize the business machine and start ur
many mills idle.
