AMERICA’S OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD THE WORLD.
Here is a fine piece of optimism, expressed by the
Manufacturers Record, which is worth reproduction:
"Fields of human endeavor, fertilized by the sorrow
and the sufferings of millions of people, will blossom
t forth a richer harvest to the betterment of humanity
than the world has ever known, if the people of America
are awuae to :ne*r opportunity.
“This time if peace is a time of danger unless we
Wisely utilize it. If we make the most of the opportunity
this time of peace will mark one of the greatest eras in
American history, and from the boundless prosperity
which will be created here, prosperity will spread to all
the world and the fearful losses of the war will to some
extent be forgotten in the benefits of new activities.
"If we have faith in ourselves and in our country
sufficient to go ahead with construction activities, we
will start a movement which will help the whole world.
"Faith begets faith, work stiumlates work, confidence
breeds confidence, optimism radiates optimism and if the
American people will display these characteristics now
they will start the wheels of trade and commerce and in
dustry throughout the entire world.
"It is ours to lead, ours to stay the social unrest of
the world by bringing prosperity back to the world.
“We can do it. Are we ready and willing to sacrifice
something in order to bring about this great achieve,
ment:
“Every labor organization can now do the biggest
•work that it ever did in human history for laboring men
in other countries. If labor leaders will be broadminded
A
and urge laboring men everywhere to enter enthusiastic
ally and wholesouledly into co-operative work, into the
avoidance of strikes and unwise agitation, it will be
possible for them to help set the wheels in motion which
will pour out a stream of prosperity to enrich all the
earth and to create employment for laboring men every
where.
"Business men have a tremendous responsibility to
lead out in this work to start world prosperity.
“In every community, from the small village to the
big city, public meetings should be held of business men
and laboring men, of men and women of all classes, to
discuss how best to stimulate local activities and to make
construction work voice the patriotism and the faith in
our country.
“Everything which stimulates this spirit of optimism
and construction activity, whether it may be whitewash
ing a fence, the building of a chicken coop, or a cheap
dwelling or a costly one, the improvement of sidewalks,
or the building of highways, the painting of a house, the
cleaning up of streets, or the construction or great hotels
and factories, everything, indeed, which shows that the
people are alive and energetic and enthusiastic should
be pressed ahead.
“Into this work men and women can enter with the
same degree of patriotism which they threw into war
work. This work W’ould be more than war work, in one
cense, for it would be work to help to prevent other
wars, a work to develop a community spirit, to create em
ployment, to advance and beautify every town and city,
and to lay a deeper and broader foundation for all the
patriotism of the land and the progress of all mankind.
“Any man who opposes needed building operations at
present on the ground that by waiting a year or two
lower wages and lower prices for building materials may
be obtainable is endangering civilization, and to the ex
tent of his influence is unpatriotically aiding to create
social unrest and is putting the dollar above humanity.
This policy is unwise from the standpoint of the nation’s
morale, the nation’s prosperity and the nation’s influence
• upon the world.’
FROM HEN TO KITCHEN 8,000 MILES.
Eight thousand miles to market is a long way for
even staple foods to travel, but when eggs make such a
long trip it is “going some.” These eggs—3,soo eases of
them—came all the way from China to New Y’ork City, via
Vancouver and traveled slowly by boat and train.
When they arrived at New’ Y’ork they were examined
by a representative of the Bureau of Markets, Department
of Agriculture, who reports that the eggs were packed
in cases similar to the ones used in domestic trade, but
made of heavier material resembling pine, of about the
same thickness as used in domestic export cases. The
average net weight of eggs per case was about 40 pounds.
The Chinese eggs were of a deep brown color and

VICARIOUS PALSHIP
INEVER thought Joe Briggs was such a much;
He sorto’ seemed to me a reg’lar dub.
I never thought worth while to keep in touch
With him Qr with his gawky half-grown cub.
But lately Joe and me has been inclined
To pal when we connect up anywhere.
He’s quite a decent animal, I find—
His boy and mine were bunkies over there.
1 used to sidestep Joe at every chance,
He never pulled a thing I cared to hear.
He throw’ed my talking powers in a trance
Whenever I discovered he was near.
But recently I’ve flocked with him a lot.
He’s gettin’ brighter every day. I swear!
Aint nothing like the nutty thing I thought—
His boy was my boy’s buddy over there.
I s’pose if there had never been no war
Acrost the ocean I’d have never known
That Joe was not the dub I took him for—
Why, he’s got notions nearly like my own!
We understand each other right along;
’Most anything we’ve got we gladly share,
So far as I can see there’s nothing wrong
With Joe—our boys was buddies over there!
STRICKLAND GILLILAND in Saturday Evening Post,
slightly smaller than the average domestic egg. The
shipment showed losses of from 12 to 18 eggs per case.
I nder the light, some of the eggs showed quite a heavy
shrinkage, while others were very full. The whites were
weak in a number of eggs, and when they were broken
showed very watery, though the eggs were sweet and the
yolks stood up well. The shells of these eggs are much
thicker than the average American egg, and the yolk
is of a somewhat deeper color. When candled these eggs
are said to make first class cheap eggs for the use of
biters and hotels and for cooking purposes. As received,
before candling and re-packing, they sold at about 3
cents below’ quotations for firsts.
China is one of the principal sources cf dried and
powdered eggs. Manufacturers of prepared products in
this country are said to be interested in the possibilities
of dried and powdered eggs, especially in view of the
increased use of such products in ready-mixed flours and'
in bakeries.
THE UNIFORM COMES OFF.
Officers and privates who have been discharged from
the military and naval service of the country are being l
warned that if they continue to wear their uniforms in'
disregard of the federal law and army regulations they!
will be subject to arrest and local authorities will be
instructed to take such action throughout the state. ■
In New Y’ork and other cities many such arrests
have already been made, and the offenders are being!
prosecuted.
Orders will be given for the immediate doffing of
the uniform as soon as discharges are received because'
of flagrant abuses of the uniform, such action having l
become necessary because of numerous repoits on the'
conduct of discharged soldiers who are still wearing
their uniforms.
J THIS AND THAT. |
Booze As a Birthday Gift.
Jewelry, hat, umbrella and cane, leather and cigar
merchants are beginning to feel the effects of the impend
ing “dry” wave. They report a falling off in birthday
and holiday trade. The explanation given by them is con
firmed by liquor dealers, restaurants, hotels and clubs. It
is tlffit presents now bought for men take the form very;
largely of "wet” goods.
The fad of insuring a friend from the immediate effect 1
of the coming drought has encouraged the substitution!
of a bottle, case or gallon of wine, brandy, whisky or'
cordial for a cane, stickpin, cardcase, umbrella or box'
of cigars. One clubman who had made'a "killing” in!
Wall street sent each of a dozen friends a barrel of fine
old whisky. He paid $15.20 a gallon. Former price
$6.50.
Several big business firms which usually send their
best customers presents at intervails are substituting
wines and high-priced liquors for more durable but less
exhilarating articles. One liquor dealer says he sold a
customei- SIB,OOO worth of miscellaneous liquors in one
day, the same to be delivered whenever and wherever de
manded.—New York World.
What ’Those Chevrons Mean.
One gold chevron, or v-shaped stripe, on the left
sleeve of a soldier or sailor, near the cuffi indicates he has
had six months’ service overseas. An additional chevrno
is worn for each additional full six months. No Ameri
can troops having yet been overseas two years, three
dhevrons on the right sleeve near the cuff indicates the
wearer has been wounded in action. An additional chev
ron is worn for each additional separate engagement in
which the wearer is wounded —not for each wound. Thus
the man who got more than one distinct wound in one
engagement, gets but one chevron for all the wounds.
A silver chevron on the left sleeve indicates six
months’ service in this country, with an additional chev
ron for each additional six months.
A blue chevron on the left sleeve indicates service
overseas of less than six months.
Two red chevrons on the left sleeve indicate the
’ wearer has been honorably discharged.
The navy wears its chevrons point up, the army
point down.

in Hospital, But Improved Greatly After
Taking Ziron Iron Tonic.
In a recent statement, J. H. Martin
of Mount Vernon, Ga., says:

seemed I would never get my strength
back after I came out, I had been so
ill. I ached all over. I was nervous,
restless and yet did not feel like get
ting around. My skin was yellow. My
appetite poor. I was in pretty bad
I shape and began to look around for a
i tonic. I felt like part of the trouble
was lack of iron in my blood. I was
Iso easily worried, so easily upset. I
beard of Ziron and knew it would help
me. I began to take it and the im
provement was great It strength
ened me, renewed my nerves and
toned up my system."
