Na one will be startled by these fig- ures; the surprise will come to many | that they have been made public. In- dictments do not prove anything ex- cept that a Federal Grand Jury, after Investigation, belteves to be correct. The packers be in those particular matters: the government rulings may be interpreted by the courts in such may proven innocent & way as to show them guiltless. In the minds of most of us, how- ever, the finding of these indictments and the figures given will strengthen the belief that few of those who bar- ter and sell have been free of the taint of profiteering which has done so0 The newly elected grand exalted ruler of the organization known as The Elks says: “It is my intention to keep the American flag flying from every Elk home In the country as a warning to all who lean to Bol- shevism, anarchism or the overthrow of the country that they can go so far and no farther.” It is to be hoped that the proposal is followed. It is to be hoped other organizations, too tate at following an example of an- other body of men, do likewise. There are too many men and wom- en today who are blase on the mat- ter of patriotism. Too many are iIn- clined to remark, “It's so boring to parade and co bourgeois to take part in these demonstrations.” Examples such as that set by the Elks in this particular should make some sort of impression on everyone. While the war was in progress pa- triotlsm and a show thereof became fashionable. At first many who con- sidered themselves too well-bred to make any sort of demonstration in public refused to change their man- ner of life. It was a common thing to see men and women neglect to acknowledge the American flag as it was displayed or carricd by in a pa- rade. A few pertinent remarks from, perhaps, quite “ordinary” persons in the estimation of these persons soon brought them to their senses. Soclety took up the habit of showing honor to the flag and other emblems country. At the last brave indeed was the man or woman who failed to show respect where respect was due. There may be many who deprecate organizations of all kinds. There may be many who will say: “Why, the war is over,” and who will see little of significance in the declaration of the leader of the Elks. Such people are usually intelligent in most mat- ters, but dislike, by habit, anything that savors of the masses. Let them wake up now and recog- nize that the time for patriotism is not past All honor to the Elks for the astand they took during the war and for the stand they evidently will continue to take. that of our IS IT POSSIBLE? Two melodious notes, coming from entirely different sources in Mexico, harmonize beautifully. Villa agrees to an armistice, recognizing the pro- visional government, and a commer- cial representative of that country tells of the great possibilities ahead. Villa, of course, cares nothing for industry. He has been the orthodox thorn im the flesh of everything per- taining to anything of that character. The mere thought of Villa, indus- trious, in the ordinary acceptance of the term, brings a laugh. Perhaps his life of pleasure—for Villa has found pleasure in his adventures al- ways—has made him less energetic. Perhaps he prefers to spend the im- mediate future in the sort of rest he takes after periods of activity. It matters not what incentive has in- duced him to agree to a little quiet. The fact is the thing! The other news is of more import- dnce. America has hoped and for- given almost unto the “Seventy times seven” and she is willing to go on hoping, apparently. Enthusiasm greets the viewpoint of Don Luis Murua Martinez, commercial representative of the new Mexican government to the Dominion of Canada. He is on his way to his post in Toronto, paus- ing a Mttle while to confer with bank- ers in New York. He declar:s that Mexico has awak- ened to a new commercial regime. It is the first time Mexico has sent a commercial representative to repre- sent it in Canada. It is a good sign, and Martinez seems to be the sort of optimist to inspire confidence. Ac- cording to him, Mexico is going to push her natural products in all the world markets and will exchange them for manufactured products. Mexico needs civilization. There is perhaps nothing that will civilize like the interchange of commodities with civilized nations.

I wonders did you ever watch the clouds go rollin’ by as you was lyin’ on the grass a-gazin' at the sky? One moment that thar glowin’ sun was shimmerin’ away, a-touch- in' fields an’ flowers in its daz- zlin' sort o' way. An’ then a cloud would float along; the sun would disappear—the way the aspect o' the earth would change was mighty queer. Where gold and green had glimmered bright, déep shadow touched the ground; where all was sparklin’, radiant-like, jest darkness would abound. An’ yet you lay thar, confident the light would come again, for i clouds is only passin’ like the twangs o’ anguish pain. “If we would only live like that,” my briar pipe jest drones, “we'd be far happlier than kings a-sittin' on their thrones. If we could know the clouds o' life was things that soon will fade, we'd allus stand all ready for to join life's gay parade o' them that loves the livin' o' the day for its own sake—o' them that does not tremble ‘cause they got their way to make. It ain’t a bad idea for to lie thar in the grass an’, contemplative, watch the clouds as they,goes rollin’ past.” —_—e least. If Mexico carries out the plan declared by Martinez to. be hers, there is a chance that the hope long de- ferred will come to fruition. And we do hope that Villa rests long.
