John D. Rockefeller

The world will pause long enough today to pay it's respects at the bier of a great American-John D. Rockefeller. Adjec- tives are useless in speaking of this great financier who in his long life had amassed what will probably be the greatest private fortune ever to be acquired by any one man. At his death John D. Rockefeller probably was merely represented by modest estate, sufficient unto his own personal needs. Disposition of his worldly goods had long ago been taken care of.
 The career of Rockefeller had been de- Scribed in newspapers and magazines. It is like an open bok to most Americans for it had been given to them to copy and emulate as the perfect example of what any man can do with little grit and a whole lot of courage and ability MT. Rockefeller had borne up so well of recent years that his death Sunday morning was somewhat of shock to the nation. All of us had been contemplating his arrival at the ripe old age of 100 which he would have reached in 1889.
 Speak of Rockefeller and you must speak of his philanthropies with which the latter part of his life was occupied. No doubt it was his early life when he had to fight his way from job paying $45O a week to millions which made him so conscious of the needs of his fellownen He made millions that he might put them to good purpose and certainly it can never be denied that he failed to do this. He gave well and he gave wisely; he never threw his money away.
 More perhaps is known of the Rocke- feller of this century than the last, though the facts of his life up to and prior to his retirement at the age of 72 in 1911 are available in many sources, yet it was in his later years that he came to be re- garded as sort of American institution. His name was naturally byword for great riches, but at the same time It came to be linked with other things. Friends always spoke in glowing terms of the aged financier; the world seemed to take kindly to him, too. We'll miss the regular stories of his golf games; his dime gifts, and his trips north and south.

doctors and scientists of all forms predicted long exterminating war, the certain bankruptcy of the Its}- ian treasury, the impossibility for the Italians to compete with the Philippians and the climate, and many other bad things. But to the diSmay of all the great experts, after only seven months the Italian colonial empire was proclaimed by Mussolini, and all their predictions were completely shattered. And to- day, in. the recurrence of the first year of the empire, Italy, without any financial assistance from the outsider, looks with high gratifica- tion to the 100000 workers that are constructing thousands of miles of roads all over Ethiopia, the com pletion of which will be followed by the settlement of many other hun dreds of thousands of Italians and by the starting of the exploitation Of Ethiopia's natural resources. Now, Spain is trying to settle with a terrible fratricide war the choos- ing of her form of government. Other nationalities have concurred in swelling the battling lines. Ma turally the Italians are on the side of the forces that promise respect for the rights of every class of peo- pie against the fearful domination of every form of demagogues led by Russian communists; and the press of England, followed by that of America, pressed by the very re- cent memory of the Mediterranean Slaps, pleased herself with the fa- brication of great Italian disasters and tried to insult nation with the mention of "Caporetto" at every turn of corners.
 "CaporettO"? Yes, it is Italian,
 my dear gentlemen of the Repub-
 lican and of every other newspa-
 per editorial pages, and so is Vit-
 toriO VenetO, the battle with
 which, the Italian Army, formed
 with soldiers coming from the {. Italian people, defeated and de-
 strOyed the imperial army of
 Austria Hungary, let that empire
 collapse, permitted the formation
 of other small nations, forced the
 undefeated German army en-
 trenched into France provinces at
 the Armistice of Nov. II, 1918,
 and won the war for all.
 The Italian people can look to Caporetto of 1917 without any shame and with the terse conscious ness of greatness that has been going through the test of tens of centuries; consequently it is to the English nation and press to which the American newspaper can re- member the defeat of the penin- sula of Gallipoli and the horrible slaughter of tens of thousands of men for the blunders of their high staff, and from the Turkish army which today occupies the same po- Sitions of the year 1916.
 These are historical facts which somebody prefers to ignore or to alter for the sake of their big heads, but the Italian people will never forget and is always ready. to con- front the insults of anybody with the same spirit that turned the disaster of Caporetto into the most glorious and unparalleled victory of Vittorio Veneto. Thank you.
 Yours truly

FOOD supplies and prices are such
as to help lean budget stretch over

down to last years holiday level, and
poultry is reasonable in price. Butter

still reasonable for the season.
Apples, oranges and nuts, suggest

expensive. Cranberries are about half

Plentiful supplies of all old-fashion-
