Kvcry efTort will be made to sub stitute mediation for agitation. How, In these times, does n man reach the allltienee of Indigestion? The overall movement Is making the profiteers feel as well as see blue. Wire commtmlcatlon ts o be revo lu ionized. Just one revolution after another ! Now I:i the time for the celluloid collar to get back Into .the public's fceod graces. If, as predicted, collars so up In price why can not we get out our old sport shirts? London reports that wives cost more In Central Africa Why the geograph ical limitation? If you drink coffee substitutes, "thore is a reason,' to say nothing of that ex tra - cents a cup. Now then. N a campaign on to get men to wear soft 'shirts. Something going on all the time. Iiolshevlsts "radicals" "commun ists" and "socialists" present an inter esting study In synonyms. Fashion will accomplish n great work If It gets some of the members of the I. W. W. Into overalls. If the Armenian mandate Is offered to the United States it means that none of the other allies wants It. Oh, If Central could get the right number with the promptness with which she can get the wrong one! After buying an egg at n fashion able restaurant, one is convinced that It represents the life work of a gifted hen. CJIve the weather man a chance. AH he needs Is time, and lie's sure to get tue weather under control sooner or Inter. When the manufacturers take to putting French heels on wooden shoes something will have to be don about It. Dandelion greens can be had for the picking out on the prairies. The trou ble with them Is that they Increase the appetite. .Straw lids are to cost more this year on account of the panic In Japan, or the social unrest In Hongoland or Fomethlng. If overalls become established in custom, some one may have the cour age to go a little further and wear wooilen shoes. If anyone had ever supposed that self-determination was going to be carried to such lengths but why cry over spilt milk. The grower gets $7.o7 for the wool In a suit of clothes that sells for $75. It's a far Journey from the back of a sheep to the goat's. The many who nre prohibited from saving anything but daylight are the calmest among the throng trying to decide whether It should be done In small way or large. Unquestionably It Is the opinion of that varnish manufacturer whoso home was bombed, that somebody would like to see Ids finish. If the Japanese continue to be thrown out of Siberian towns they may ultimately decide that they are not real I v welcome. Japan promises to withdraw from Siberia when Siberia is no longer a nienaee to Manchuria. That combines oriental subtlety and Asiatic wit in a way calculated to make the judicious giiaie. The French army Is kept big because of the scare f Prussian militarists, ami the Prussians keep their army to- g'tlier because they're afraid of the boNhevists. ifs a jumpy time nil around.

The hiuh cost of overalls is quite likely to tiuure conspicuously in the family expense account unless profit eers lose their nerve. Most of us thought that life in the Afiiean Jungle was not disturbed by old II.

One of the characteristics of this unfortunate benefactor who was al ways surrounded by a host of Ingrates, was his tolerant spirit. Since there was no ante-chamber In his modest home, the beggars who knew the house stayed outside on the stafrca so ; It was Impossible to see him without finding a half-dozen of them on the stairs., There they used to wait like ravens for-the small change, old clothes, and sometimes new-clothes, that LIsette was the first to distribute to them. -When friends' remonstrated with I5e ranger for giving away things he need ed to people whom he did not know, LIsette would answer: "Oh, now, IJcranger will just write another song the lazy fellow 1" A Truthful Sign.
