TIDE OF PROSPERITY AND ACTIVITY
 STILL RISES.

The country is still justifyng the precept of the late J. P. Morgan, the elder, that it is not profitable to bet against the United States The country is still a winner Time after time within the last year or two it has been declared by high authority that stocks and other securities too high. Interest and discount rates have been ad- vanced. Strenuous efforts have actually been put forth to squeeze the water out of prices" Selling panics have been promoted. Yet of the bear tactics long survive The great tide of production and prosperity has risen all Instructions and obstructors again and again to higher levels than ever.

JACKS QUIET FRIEND By Mary Graham Bonner

I've decided not to take that trip after all tonight" Jack Frost told John and Peggy and the Little Black Clock.
 Why not?" asked John.
 I've just received word that friend is coming to see me. He comes to see me once in awhile and you know he always changes my plans"
 Do you mind that?" Peggy asked
 "Oh, no. because I can go on my trip another time. He doesn't make long visits and I enjoy him when he comes always have chance to do plenty of travelling before the season is over.
 He makes me feel as though I didn't want to do any travelling when he is around.
 He has such quet way with him. No I shouldn't say that he has a quiet way with him. He is as wild as can be. But he makes me feel quiet"
 Are you going to tell us his name?" the Little Black Clock asked.
 ITO be sure I'll tell you his name. My friend is called the Wind"
 But he's not quiet" John cried
 No, he's not quiet. said he was wild"
 But you said he had quiet way with him." John said.
 NO, I didn't say he had quiet way with him."
 That's true, you didn't. But you said he made you feel so quiet"
 He does. That's perfectly true. Wouldn't you like to meet him?"
 Why yes. I've never exactly met the wind to speak to-" John said.
 What a funny thing to happen to meet the wind" Peggy laughed.
 And then the Wind appeared.

LIQUOR ENFORCEMENT AND PROFIT
 AND LOSS.

The Saskatchewan Provincial treasury netted a profit of $3,083,947 from the sale of liquor during the last fiscal year-an increase of about $60OO00 over the previous year. The difference between Saskatchewan and many American States is that the profits from the trade there goes to the com monwealth and serves to reduce taxes. In the United States it goes to bootleggers and causes large expenditures by our governments to suppress a traffic that is not being suppressed
 This suggests that the next Congress will be asked to appropriate much more largely than ever before for Prohibition enforcement The appro- priations large in the beginning have been per- sstently increased from year to year. Now after ten years Congress will be urged to add many more millions to the budget. Experts in Prohibi- ton enforcement have estimated that 1t would cost from $l,000,000000 to $l ,50OO0000O a year to give us real enforcement in the country This does not take into account the scores that are annually killed.
 It would seem that this situation is one that would suggest to of ordinary ntelligence that there ought to be other method of handling the liquor traffic. It is clear that the time Is at hand to eliminate fanatcism and utilize some common sense

Pacific Coast Rich in These Resources.
Seattle Business Chronicle

Of immense interest to Pacific Coast is the news that Canadian company has succeeded in pro- ducing sponge iron from low-grade refractory iron ore. This new process is said to reduce low-grade ores to iron electrically without the use of carbon It is claimed that this process will not only handle magnetic iron but that it will also utilize scrap iron
 Pacific Coast in this connection may once more demonstrate the basis of it's economic strength, which IS the remarkable harmony and interplay of its economic elements The application of low cost electricity in reduction of low-grade ore on the Pacific Coast would revise the industrial map.
