FEAR EXTINCTION OF HOLLY
eotanists say That Within Another
Generation 1t May Be- as Rare as
the Mistlet6e.

Christmas holly, that merriest and
most beloved of all growing bushes, is
threatened with extinction, according
to a warning sounded by lovers Of a
red Christmas. Once growing pro-
fusely in southern New Jersey and
Maryland, it has been swept from
those states by the ruthless cutters
for the city markets, and must now
be sought in the swamps of Virginia
and North Carolina, where already the
supply is growing less bountiful each
year. The Gulf states have been sim
ilarly shorn to provide holly for New
Orleans, st. Louis and Chicago.
Within another generation, botan-
lists say, holly will be as rare as mistle-
toe, which used to grow in abundance
on the Atlantic seaboard rs far north
as Raritan bay, but has now practi-
cally ceased to exist rs Christmas dec
Grafton. When will the American peO-
pie learn that the bounty Of their
fields and woodlands is not limitless?

CONSERVATIVES GLOOMY ON
EUROPE

Frank NJ. Simonds, who probably at
tracted more attention as a writer on
the war than any other man, is among
the large number of conservative
thinkers who take a gloomy view of
Europe at the present time.
In a recent article for the press he
points out that now, over two years
after the armistice, Europe, instead
of having peace, has misery. disorder
and desolation extending from Ire
land to Asia.
Simonds, like other conservatives,
offers some superficial reasons as to
why all the effects of war continue
after peace, as to why the English
aristocracy, the French bondholders,
the Morgan banking syndicate are not
able to produce peace but rather the
opposite.
The more or less honest reaction
aries like Simonds are confused and
stupified. Their principles, when ap-
piled, lead the respective countries
from bad to worse, and still unable
to conceive of any other principles Of
national conduct they, like Simonds,
believe that Europe may be slipping
back into another dark age such as
followed the destruction of the Roman
empire.

BLAMEs BUSINESS METHODS
Director Nordman Of the Wisconsin
division of markets says that the pres
ent business depression is not so much
the result of the War<as of the fun
damental unsOundness of our economic
system.
"The remedy" says Mr.. Nordman.
"does not lie in a changed feeling or
in the assumption of an air of opti.
mism as is advocated by some. The
difficulties which the country is going
through are not products of magma
ton nor are they the result Of the
war alone. The economic defects which
produced them existed long ago. The
war has only intensified these diff
culties."
According to Director Nordman,
| when the few have unusual means Of
getting more, the many have to take
| much less. Hence the farmer can not
sell all he produces at a fair and just
| price and the manufacturers can not
dispose of all city-made products.
IF considerable minority has the
power to acquire more than it is right
fully entitled to, it logically follows
that the majority gets less than that
to which it has just claim. This ma
jority will have to deprive itself Of
much that it needs. And here is the
fundamental cause of poor markets, of
more commodities being produced than
and all the other conditions that every
one is complaining Of"
RUSSIA MAKES TREATIES
Russia appears to be having con.
siderable success in treaty making.
Important agreements with England,
Germany, Turkey and Persia are re-
ported as either signed or ready for
signing.
That with England provides: Both
countries shall cease hostile action
against each other, including propa-
ganda. No blockade or other form Of
trade discrimination is to be imposed.
England agrees to refrain from seiz-
ing Russian gold and other property.
Ships of both countries are to be free
to go where business leads, and citl
zens likewise
Perhaps there is great danger in
overestimating the value of these
treaties for world peace. Perhaps
England's move and Wilson's recent
expression of friendship for the Rus
sian people may we'll be a ruse to
start friction within Russia itself and
from this another general war. The
more desperate the financial situation
of western Europe becomes the more
it is necessary for allied statesmen to
crush out the bad example in Russia,
and this need is much more important
than scraps of paper" signed as tenn
porary maneuvers.

MUSCLE SHOALS ACTION

The senate has passed a bill author

While the vote was largely along
party lines, western Republican sena-
tors who need farmer votes did not
dare oppose it, but with the exception
of few we'll known progressives, they
were willing to pass amendments to
make public operation unavoidable.
The bill now goes to the house, and
there is grave danger that 1t will not
be heard from again this session. The
powerful fertilizer trust and the panic

all big business circles. constitute al
