Ward, New York, Tribune Building. W. 11. StockwelL Chicago, People' Oka Building obedience to an economic law that is almost as imper ious as the law which makes water run down hill. It must be recognized that, so far as the staples are concerned, food markets are now world markets, and consumers everywhere must pay prices that consumers are willing to pay in th countries that need food most. This is unfortunate for the consumers in food-producing countries. Maybe it is unfair. But what can be done about it? Any attempt to stop the operation of this law might result in greater evils than high prices. THE GIFT OF THE FLYERS.

With food at its present prices, it is natural enough that many Americans should grudge the shipping of such quantities to Europe. They argue that if all the foodstuffs raised in this country, or anywhere near all of them, remained here, there would be such plenty that prices would fall. That is very true. But it does not follow that anybody is to blame for the present situa tion, or that the situation could be changed, or indeed that the nation would change it if it were possible. The phrase, "feeding the world," h?s been much mis understood. Many otherwise enlightened persons per sist in thinking that this is a big charitable enterprise to which the nation is commuted. There is really little chnrity in it at all. It is almost all together a matter cf kismets. The Europeans are paying, and paving high prices, for every bit of food we send them. There simply hap pens to be an abnormal demand over there, and we,' hav ing a surplus, are supplying the demand. The fact that the food shipment and distribution are largely under government auspices, with the cooperation of the allied governments, makes little difference. If the government authorities were not handling the matter, that demand would be met by private enterprise, and the American food surplus would flow abroad just about the same, in They renewed in the whole world the tides of cour age and imagination. Even if neither American nor Aus trian, Briton nor Frenchman had successfully negotiated the trip, still the effort would have been more than worth while. For somehow, as the big planes rose from the earth, the spirits of men lifted with them and their thoughts went up into the world of infinite possibilities, Though death and disaster prevent the adventurers from reaching their goal there can be no inglorious end ing to an undertaking begun in such bravery and en thusiasm. Even the prosaic stay-at-home folk will turn back to earning their daily bread with a new light in their eyes, and a new squaring of their shoulders, be cause the flyers have listened to imagination's whisper that perhaps the impossible is possible after all, and have had the courage to go and see. RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt M; henn UNSETTLED. The world seems going to the dogs, and governments ute slipping cogs, and everything is wrong; all sorts of crazy notions thrive, and Windy Jims are much alive, and anarchy seems strong. The workless workers brag and boast, and send us bombs by parcel post, and rough on rats by mail; and while the lawless hoboes yip some nervous gents may lose their grip and sweat some blood u'ul wail. The world's unsettled for a time; the German cat ivval of crime broke all our moorings, loose; it's vain to walk the floor at night and say that everything in sight is going to the deuce. Did you suppose when war was done that everything would smoothly run, without a kick or balk? Did you suppose we'd all get back to walking in the same old track without a squeak, or squawk? The world was shaken to its base, and everything knocked out of place, and naught uninjured stood; did you suppose the dawn of peace would make all signs of tumult cease Your guessing was no good. I am surprised things run so well right after four long years of hell, when all our holds were lost; we can't endure such years of strife and then re sume the old time lifewe have to pay the cost. The gents who send their bombs by mail in time will find such pastime stale, and thev II talk of blood .shortly die away. The passage of the ordinance vacating the foot of Trade street by the council last night clears the way for the building of the new paper mill which will cost $500,- 000 to start with and may before long grow into an in vestment of a million and a half. The industry will em ploy a great deal of labor here and in its logging camps, and is one that is destined to grow with each succeeding year. The demand for paper products is increasing and the pulp suply of the Last has decreased to a point where the forests of the West or Canada must provide the sup ply in order to meet the demands of the market. There is no question of the future of the paper industry on the coast, and Salem is fortunate in securing a plant which will become one of the principal factors in its fu ture growth. , , ' The Winnipeg revolt led by Bolsheviki labor agita tors, is dying out, the government having discharged pos tal clerks and all other employes who wept out in the so called sympathetic strike. There have been no spectacu lar methods employed by the law and order element but those who quit work have been given to understand that their jobs were gone for good, aod when their leaders saw that the government and the plain people of the city meant business there was a general weakening of the anarchist movement just as there was in Seattle. The only fear is that many of these foreign agitators and their deluded followers may cross the line and stir up trouble in this country. With some of their cohorts claiming the League of Nations to ne nothing more than an alliance of the three great world powers, United States, Great Britain and r ranee, and Senator Reed branding it as being controlled by the black, yellow, brown and red races, one is apt to suspect that the opponents of the league are more in spired by politics and the desire to talk than by actual defects in the covenant at which their criticisms are directed. THE FRIENDLY TOBACCO Horse Sense About. Tobacco Good tobacco ought to be like a well bred hoss all th' kick taken out but all th' sperit left in. You see, half the secret of makin' a good hoss is in the breedin' an' half in the breakin'. Selectin' tobacco that's grown right is only half of makin' Velvet. The agein' is the other half Thar's only one kind cf agein' that gets th' right results Nature's own. Nature's no clock watcher. She does a job right whether it takes two years or two thousand. So when she gets through with the fine Kentucky Burley that we put away in wooden hogsheads for two years, it's just right. It ain't been hurried none, or short - cutted. It s a Nature-done job. All kinds of things are packed in tobacco tins, but your good neighbor will tell you "Velvet is the real pipe tobacco." Prove it for yourself. p m 1 ! i li w m J he a Roll VELVET CUarette Whatever may be the merits of the telephone girls' contention that they are underpaid and forced to work under adverse conditions, there is a note of "fishiness" in the statement of Miss Julia O'Connor, national presi dent of the telephone girls' union, that "the telephone girl requires at least $4 a day to live," exclusive of cloth ing and other incidental expenses.

Was there noth ing I could dot Was I to mwke a fnuik pas of everything I undertook. It wns nearly luncheon time when we returned to the house. To my surprise I saw fteu s hat and cost on the rack in the hull. I railed, then went to the li brary. Neil lay on the divnn, his hand shading hia ryes. He neither moyed nor apokc when I went in. I laid my hand over his and asked: "What is it dearl Are you ilH" "No!" shortly. "Can I help you Neil! I wish you. have von trailing me." 1 started to deny that I followed him, then thought better of it and said noth ing. "I won 't have it, do you hear!" "Yes, Neil."

M. O.) You can take an onion seed end" panay wed. and plant them aiile by side iu the an me spot of ground. In one case, you get an onion, with its peculiar ly strong odor, and in the other yon ge-t a flower of rare beauty. You can plant a poppy seed and get opium (a danger ous, hatiit forming drug), or too en plant a rhubarb wed aiwl pet miethirj that helps constipation. No scientist, living or dead, can explain these mys teries f nature. Behind Oie invisible life germ in each seed is hidden the deep secret that nobody understands. Everything growing out of the ground sewne intended for some use in estab lishing natural conditions. Br. Pierce would tell me whatsis worry you.
