A controversy has arisen over the daisy, as a result of the selection of that flower as an 'emblem by the "lib erals" who want the prohibition laws relaxed. An ardent woman prohibitionist in a letter to a news paper, makes this withering comment: "What better emblem could have been chosen by the 'wets'? The daisy hated by farmers as a pest, of abso lutely no value to man or beast! "Just as animals refuse to drink beer, so they refuse! to eat tne daisy.

WHAT MODESTY MAY HIDE. The daisy true emblem of booze if allowed to re main, crowds out of the pasture the life giving, food-producing grass and eventually drives the animals to starva tion; forces its way into fields of grain, spoiling the har vest and occupying space which should be used to grow food. The British Empire won the war Sir Douglas Haig admits it, modestly, of course, like this: life.' 'We talk a great deal about our ailies. It was neces sary and right that we should do so to buck them up all we 'could while the fighting was going on, but don't for get it was the British Empire that won this war." And, continuing to minimize the part he and his countrymen played in licking the hun, tho self-depreciating Englishman goes on in this strain: "I don't wish to particularize, but you know our Russian friends- threw us down and the Italians didn't do a great deal then. Our French friends made the best of it, but then they had a really hard job at the beginning. For the last two years England bore the brunt of the struggle." What a shame the esteemed Field Marshal's reticence would not permit him to expound further on the secrets of the Allied victory. History may have lied, with all the world in ignor ance. Perhaps it was Haig and not Foch wljo saved the day at Verdun. Like as not the British marines turned the Boche horde back at Chateau-Thierry. Who knows but Tommy Atkins chased Fritz out of Belleau Wood and drove the "blasted Heinie" from St. Mihiel? What a thriller we have missed if aces of the Royal Air Force Over against this arraignment might be set the tes timony of Chaucer, the "father of English poetry" who wrote 500 years ago, in his "Legende of, Fair Women": "Of alle the floures in the mede, 'Than love I most these floures white and rede Such as men called dayseyes in our toun So glad am I, whan that I have presence Of it, to doon it alle reverenee, As she that is of alle floures flour, Fulfilled of all vertue and honour, And ever ilike faire and f resshe ,of hewe. Alias, that I ne had Englissh, ryme or prose, Suf f isant this flour to preyse aryght !" So the reader may take his choice. Perhaps, though, no choice is really necessary. Perhaps they are both right. The modern feminine critic was speaking from the viewpoint of utility, the poet from viewpoint of art. Still, it is rather hard to harmonize the two estimates just as it is to harmonize the opposite estimates of alcohol. wheat and great quantities of other foodstuffs we thought we were contributing annually was grown in the back vards of London and transported over the world in ships kilt on the Clyde. And we know that the .1,000,000 Yankees who added their mite to the Lion's strength are mostly of British descent. Consider, oh Haig, of what truths your modesty may It rive kept us in darkness. From Boston comes tho kind of a "fish story" the pub lic has been longing to hear seventeen fish dealers have been given jail sentences as food profiteers.
