Our Secretary of state spoke ct Lon

of his German impressions. The Reich

will not enhance it's prospects Of getting
it by indulging indefinitely In "a

Passing of Dividend
Recalls Early Trade

From the st. Louis Times
Hidden away in the small type Of the
financial news of yesterday was an item
Of historic value. The Hudson Bay Co.
has passed it's dividend for the mo-
ment. 1t may have done 1t before, but
the present occasion brings new inter-
est to an old subject.
The very beginnings Of Canada are
linked with the Hudson Bay Co. It was
band of British gentlemen who came
together to trap and trade in furs in
the remote wilderness of the American
North. They operated under a royal
charter and for more than 200 years
they ruled the land They opened terri
tory that had never been seen by q
white man and they took millions OF
wealth out of its Businesses Later the
company broadened its activities. It
was no longer merely q factor in furs
It opened great stores and 1t manu-
featured goods. These stores form an
impressive chain from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and are as beautiful and
complete as any shop in any part Of
the world
This year, what with q poor fur sea-
son and q probable failure of the wheat
crop, the famed Hudson Bay Co. has
been sorely hit OF course 1t is not
fatally hurt, but. In its age and power,
| it has been wounded. 1t will recover.
1t Is too virile to yield.
Meanwhile, 1t Is an example of the
fact that the greatest of human en-
deavor Is subject to the rigid rules OF
memorable Nature.

Privileges Disdained.
Since Chris Columbus sailed his ship
So many years ago,
We've given many cares the slip,
Such as men used to know.
The boats ere fine and stout and swift !:
The railways help a lot.
And telephones you voice will lift
To any distant spot.
From distant realms the things ere
brought
That comfort and sustain.
And life with luxury Is frsusht
Such ss few hoped to esin.
Yet man keeps up the same old grind
Mid poverty and pelf--
He will not leave his cares behind
And Just enjoy himself.
