quantity did not become available
until after the famous March

1918. Then the most important
thing to all the allies was getting
Americans to Europe, and British,
French and italian ships in numbers
were furnished US.

But this is only half the story.
The purely naval duty was that of
escorting these vessels, guarding
them against attack by raiders or
submarines. OF this. the British

French 3.125 and the United States
navy S275. OF this total number of

We could not have sent over
nearly so many troops as we did, if
we had not been aided by the Brit
ish. French and Italian vessels. This
was no gift. Of course. The United
States government paid, and paid
well. for every soldier transported
on a foreign vessel. The aid OF the
British and French was invaluable
and highly appreciated. They should
be given full credit for all they did:
but this should not detract one iota
from the great part performed by
our navy in putting through "the

RETAIL MERCHANTS.

The retail merchant occupies an un-
enviable position in the economic
structure Of the nation. He is in the
first line trench Of business. 1t is he,
and not the manufac turer or whole
saler who has to bear the brunt of
public disapproval when prices rise.
and who is criticised when price re-
cessions in the primary markets are
not Immediately reflected in his
stocks
The public does not stop to place
his orders months ahead of season. so
as to have his stock on hand at the
proper time and that his selling prices
must be based on cost If he is to
make q, success and come out even in
his years transactions.
Just at present the country is in
the midst of a very considerable
downward price movement" says e.
A. Filene of Boston. This is the result
of a combination of physical facts and
mental reactions. Some retailers, who
have placed orders with jobbers or
manufacturers for future deliveries at
the old prices, have cancelled these
orders and have been properly criti-
cized for so doing. 1t should be re-
membered in this connection, however,
that In the last few years, when prices
were rising, many manufacturers set
a very bad example by refusing to de-
liver goods ordered in advance at the
agreed-upon lower prices. Cancella-
ton OF deliveries in a rising market is
no fairer than cancellation of orders
in falling market.

a good word for the innovation. Ex-
aminations have caused bleak and I'M
happy hours in thousands of young
lives, without ever convincing the ma
jority of the victims that the institu-
ton produced good equal to the pain.
Certainly there would be no use in
spending the night before the test
gulping endless cups of hot coffee and
tying wet towels about fevered brows
while making closer acquaintance with
the nature of the ablative absolute.
The average college boy or girl has
little or no respect for the value of
examinations and refuses to believe
that failure in astronomy Is a mark
of mental incompetence. The results
Of the army tests taken by some two
hundred Smith college seniors does
something to justify the view, for
the whole number passed with ease,
most of them with high records.
1t would certainly remove a cause
of bitter feeling between the student
body and the faculty. No longer would
a professor be liable to the suspicion
of spending his spare moments de
vising unanswerable questions with
abolical glee and cruelty. Some
teachers would think that the last
hope of saving modern youth from
the precious lessons Of hard grind was
gone, but others would not. Memory

Message OfCheer
THE HOUR BEFORE THE DAWN.
(By Dr.. William &. Earton)

THE HOUR BEFORE THE DAWN.
We heard much in 1920 about the
Pilgrim Fathers. We shall hear more
about them in 1921. Here is one thing
which not every one has heard about
them, namely, that a few weeks be-
fore they sailed, they were all dis
couraged, and very nearly ready to
give up the enterprise altogether.
On Wednesday, June IA, 1920, John
Robinson, the pastor of the Pilgrim
congregation. then resident in Holland.
wrote to his brother-in-la law, John
Carver then in England endeavoring
to provide for transportation to Amer
lea, and said that enthusiasm for the
voyage had nearly all gone. He said
that there was not a man who had
invested money in the scheme who
would do it gain if he had the money
back in his pocket.
It is not difficult for us to under
stand how that feeling of desponden-
CIV, came about. The little colony had
come to the time of parting and real
lied that those who went to America
might never see again those who re-
NAMED in Holland. They were able
to see just who would be on one side
of the ocean and who on the other.
They counted the possible loss of life
and the strain of mind and nerve and
health. And for a little time their
courage nearly failed them.
They had already bought the Speed
well, ship of sixty tons, and their
friends in London counted her joke.
Rather a grim joke she proved to be.
The Mayflower had not yet been
found.
Now it happened that on the pre-
ceding Saturday the friends in Eng
land of the Pilgrims in Holland found
wine from France, and was open to
charter, and they took an option on
her until Monday, and wrote to Hol-
land accordingly. This was not the
ship that was finally chartered, but it
fIoated the hopes of the Pilgrims for
a few days till the Mayflower was
discovered. BY the time Carver re-
ceived Robinson's letter the Mayflow-
er had been chartered. Six weeks after
Robinson's letter, the Pilgrims were
on board and were leaving Holland
behind forever.
If the whole truth were told, many
good enterprises come to just such
an hour of uncertainty and almost of
despair. Neither sllrewd foresight nor
high moral courage is sure safeguard
against it. But that is the hour Of
testing; and for those who then brave
Iy face the issue, there is waiting
somewhere for every fine human I'M
dertaking a Mayf1ower. and at the end
Of the voyage new Plymouth Rock.

As they hurried out of the ROOM
Harry Underwood took my hands,
down gently, and holding them in his
own, with a chiyalric reverence, ut
terly foreign to the Harry Underwood
had known, said quietly: "Of course
you shall see him. He is waiting for
you. You may come up with Lillian
right away, but be very, very quiet"
Mrs German stumbled to her feet,
came forward with hands cropping as
if she could not see.

She could not finish the sentence.
Harry Underwood's brilliant eyes
softened with pity as he looked at
her. He paused a long moment before
answering her.
Mrs. German seemed to brace her
self as If for an expected blow.

Mr.. Underwood drew a long breath.

slowly, pitifully, "but we are very

Dicky's eager eyes looked up from
his white face into mine. His voice,
weak but thrilling with the old love
note, repeated my name over and over,
as if he could not say it enough.
I sank on my knees beside the bed
in which Dicky lay. / realized in a

SOMETHING WRONG

Country syrup is quoted at 20 cents
galon-in the country-but at the
stores 1t sells for so cents to a dol
lar Why? Who gets the differ
ence
Admitting that handling costs are
high and that the retailer has a GER
tain amount of risk it nevertheless
seems unjust that the ultimate con-
sumner should pay dollar while the
producer gets but 25 cents. There is
no complaint If the price advances
100 per cent in rehandling, but 400
per cent seems unfair.
Several West Florida counties have
produced hundreds of barrels of syrup.
Much of this has been sold but the
major portion OF it is being held for
steadier prices, it is said.
