The Attorney General of the United
States announces that he is going af-
ter the war gougers and CRITTERS
the men who robbed the nation while
others were fighting for it. The an
nouncement comes after the press of
the country, regardless of politics, had
spoken to the point and in no uncer-
tain terms. 1t is hoped that adequate
punishment will be inflicted before it
becomes necessary for the press to
cease talking and resort to roaring.
A thief is a thief, whether he be rich

whom newspapers have published
many columns under glaring headlines
and innumerable audiences have raw
ed, went to her final reward Tues
day, passing away at her Philadelphia
home after brief illness, with little
more press mention than might have
been accorded any citizen of ordi-
nary prominence. Though her life was
painted vari-colored by report, she did
much good in the world, and for this
she win be held in respectful memory.

the roll roofings or the shingles

claimed not to crack or split. They

The roll roofings or shingles are

shields them from wear and further

GREAT ESTATES BROKEN UP
Among British Lands Recently Placed

Camerons.

If one is not too deeply stepped in

at the sale of many Of the large Eng"
lish estates, for the greater part Of
their broad lands are Of agricultural
! value. With Scotland it is rather diff
ferent, for there Is much that Is no

there is no more than beauty and sem
timent and romance, and that in every
stone and sprig.
The real Highlander feels sad when
he reads that the wide Cameron es-
tates of 117,000 acres, including the do
mains of historic Lochaber and
Lochiel, are in the market. They in
clude big sheep range and some
valuable timber. but that is about all
commercially, tor deer, black-game
and wild duck are not articles Of
trade.
In the old days the great lairds
maintained these wild lands and their
wild retainers out Of their own pOck-
cts; now they cannot afford it and
lands and retainers have to 60. In all
the Highlands, probably there is no
clan Better known by name and story
to the world than the mighty Gamer
ons. The Cameron Highlanders, "The
March of the Cameron Men," Lochiels
slogan and the Lochaber ak, are
spoken Of everywhere.
! There was not a Cameron among
the "Seven Men Of GlenmOristOn"
[who were Grants, MacDonells, Mac
gregors and Chisholms), but they were
connected with almost every other
episode of the gallant young Prince
Charles sad and brief career. The
beautiful estates now in the market
were forfeited on that account, to be
restored half century later, this be-
Ing the only break in the Cameron

The priest lifted high the host and
said some words Of benediction at
which the people fell on their knees
with response. An acolyte with a
holy-water sprinkler passed through
the columns of animals deftly throw
ing the sacred water upon them. The
oxen and cows were thus blessed first,
then the sheep and goats and lastly
the pigs. A moon nearly full glittered
high above the mountain stones and
combined with the light from the can.
dies revealed the long, polished horns
and heaving sides and sleek coats of
the oxen and cows and the white
woolly skins of the sheep. The acolyte
passing among them, incensed them
and their believing, bleating and
sQuealing arose to tumult. But, high
above all, the voice of the priest was
heard, as he chanted these words:
my children, God in his goodness
sends me, his unworthy servant, here
to bless your t1ocks, according to an
ancient custom of our mountains, so
that these animals by whose aid you
live may join in our religious cere-
monies which usher in the New Year.
Let US then sing loud hosanna Of
praise to the ever-merciful Lord so

AERE we stand again on the
- borderland Of Welcome and
Good-by. There is so little be-
tween them and so much either
side Of them.
When the great bell of time
strikes the midnight hour, and
1922 passes into the land Of long
ago, there is one simple resolu-
tion that we can all make with
pretty good surety that we can
keep it till the next midnight
chimes-that we will be better
man or woman In the next year
than in the last.
That won't be a hard resolution
to fulfill in some degree, and II
everyone Is even little better,
there will be a heap more good
ness, kindness, success and love
In the world when 1923 rings out
that there is now.
The untried year brings with it
another chance for ala chance
to make good where We have
failed-a chance to benefit by
what we have counted as failures
in the year that Is passing out.
The old year has been a difficult
one for many. Some have lost
heart. The new year, which gives
promise of so much that is better,
will bring new courage and hope
to them.
IF we can let the unhappy part
Of the past year 60 with it, and
only remember the good, it will
help toward all that is best in the
new.
One Of the best things that we
can hope for the untried year is
that it will be a busy one for
everybody. Work is the best pro-
moter Of goodness and happiness,
and the best cure for trouble and
sorrow that there Is.
When the solemn, happy bells
ring out across the spow," let
them ring out with them the bad
things and ring in all that is good
and true and beautiful that is
within the power Of each one
