There need be no further argument over who or what won the war. It is all settled, and the claim and counter claim we have seen bandied back and forth since Nov. II, 1918, fade into irrelevance before the fact that clinches the " discussion. A headline in a Sunday paper says "French Eager to Pay Taxes," and a quarter-column dispatch from Stephanne Lauzanne, well known in this country, relates how the French stood in line in the rain clamoring to get rid of their money. "They thought it a pleasure to pay their taxes," he says. Despite the fact that last year the collector in one dis trict was unable to send out his notices, all but five per cent of the taxes were oaid. And a week or two aco. when the government issued bonds for one billion francs for restora tion of the devastated lands, the people subscribed seven billions. We submit that a people who find pleasure in paying taxes a year after a war has almost destroyed their land, and who subscribe seven times over for a government loan, could never be defeated. The spirit that pays taxes in spite almost of hell itself, is the spirit that won the war. And who can dispute the fact? We Americans, then, had better stop claiming that we won the war at least, until we stop complaining about our income taxes.

It is to be hoped that the keep ing of Lent will not be confined to those denominations which hold it as an essential part of their faith, for the prac tices by which it is kept as a religious observance are such as would be of benefit under any circumstances. Whether one lightens his diet in the early spring from respect to his body or his soul, the benefit derived from it is unquestionable. Devoting some time each day to medita tion upon the better things of life can not fail to work the good of the person who does it. Definitely considering the life and death and resurrection of the Founder of the Chris tian faith will make the strong man stronger, and the weak man strong. Turning from the exciting diversions of winter to the quieter ones and to the restful society of good books will renew body, mind and spirit. : o LOW PRICES o An antiquarian drags to the light a list of prices charged for commodities back in 1840, among which are these items: Eggs, 6 cents a dozen; Chickens, 8 cents apiece; Oats, 19 cents a bushel ; Vinegar, 6 cents a quart; Molasses, 15 cents a quart; Coffee, 13 cents a pound; And Whiskey, 32 cents a gallon. Yes, those were the "good old days," sure enough ! That is, if you consider merely the arithmetic of prices. When you come to consider the money itself, it works out differ ently, as usual. The same antiquarian adds this enlighten ing commentary: "Money was tight, and because of the scarctiy there were few transactions, and there was a great deal of exchanging or swapping wood was swap ped for tea and wool for molasses.'etc." The old, old story! Prices were low because money was high, and money was high because it was scarce. And what good are low prices when you haven's got the price? school consolidation will open today at Cedar Falls, Iowa, and continue through the remainder of the week. A faction of the Republican party in North Dakota has called a State conference for Bismarck today to se lect candidates for delegates to the national convention.
