The Penr.yylann i'fflci.ili h-iv- xilainM tliat mrst of the nin thiy Itt 'o n;'..! ! liS'd on thf-ir lins farther wf-t. Th mam purpose, however, was obviously to s.ue as much as nous;M under the new -wae schedule. This is p ri;i lly i!itr(y;in in th Ii;ht of Famuel fJom per' r-nt statement, that the r:a!ra,ls coul-i' t.kf cirf- d' th rntirp wa-in-rrt iSf hy o) i-ra 1 1 m mor r tT'u i ntly. The Pennsylari is s.iid t be -'lin ut its employes rather car fully, aiming t" r t rid of th- h;st ornpetent. nth r ro.ids ;u likely f d' the same thin:: as t-oon a.-4 tlu cm. Applieations for johs from men formerly r.aued in other ocupition. and drawn by the nev v;iRt s- ale, may soon provide the necessary !ab'r surplus to rr.aki thi posilIe. The railroads will xp t higher freight rates. iut the same, and will pet thfm. But the situation look-; more hopeful tu them and also to the rublic. If th-y can m-l nil the labor they need, and increase th ie ofMeienoy by 'ho improved quality of that labor, thev will nt re. d ji i 1 1 hiKh rates as they have l-en !i isiandinp. and may thus stop the nation's railroad bill fvn soaring .at the same time that they provide bt-tUr transportation.

PROFITEERING. V'nr a 'fnc time nffer money onme into o.c a medium of exchange, and tlie old system of barter an.', tr.idf was abandoned, there was no law to rrculatv Interest rhinos on loans of money. The man who hid money to loan could ch.are any rate of tnttrrs That he could get, and usually did. The rate often rnne(l from 5rt to "no prrcf nt. Hut finally the abus s becmie .o bad that the P-opI revalued th- matter by law. Th.- money lenders protested, but to no avail. The law was I 1. and now nobody would think of re(-alin it. If we ran regulate th- rates of profit on money l(ur., why can we not regulato tlb1 protit ir; tdl!n poods, or trans;ortin or in.iiiiiuctiinnit'.' This 1 a question th it min men are now asking. We now regulate by law railroad and express rates .and postal v Hes. rats for t:;;s. electricity, water and stre-: c ir f ir s. Mow much farther cm we ..o alon- this line with fafef y ?

SUGAR AND CANDY. ?uj;ir, eerybody kr.ows. is a little cheaper lat.lv. Advices say that it is Rolnp: to go down several cents more before Ions. One of the bipcrest refiners recently cut the wholesale price of hii output to -1 cnts a pound. The stuff may be ietailir. everywhere soon at nearer 20 ents than r.O. He it rated alo that at a convention of rrtiddle-west-r i confectioners held a few days ago, it was unaiihoouslv predicted by the members present that there wer itoir.g to be further advances in the price of all kinds of candy. ?Tow jurt why candy, nlready vry high, should po still higher when the cost of its chief ingredient is falling, may be a mystery to the ignorant eonsumer. The manufacturers explain that labor and transportation are probably poinp to cost more. It would be interesting to know precisely how much the increased freight rates are point: to add to the linst cost of a found of candy, and how much that cost will be by the time it reiche the consumer; also where the Increased labor cost comes in. and how much it is multiplied In hein? passed alonp. Business men in other lines of trade usu'ly insist that their own prices are moderate, wheu they consider what candy la selling for today. Consumers so far seem to have stood for It pretty camely. Prohibition whetted their ftweet tooth, and they had money In their pockets. Rut there is a limit to everything. People, may stop buying: candy one of thes days. Whenever they do. In any considerable numbers, it may be discovered all at once that the cost of materials, labor and transportation Is not so great, after all, and that po.ssibly overhead expense has been a little over-estimated.

THE LADY IN BONDS. One curious aftermath of the war relates to the younf; women who entered the government service, ns field clerks. They were appointed by the fecretary of war and have patriotically pounded their typewriters ever since. They are being: dl?charged as fast as the army can spare them, and out of 4.000, including men and women, 2,500 in a" have been dismissed. But this is not fast enough for the wishes of some of the '00 young women left n the service. They want to go and do something else for a living, or have a vacation at home, or get rrarried or something. Hut they cannot leave. They did not enlist for any wpecial term of service, but were appointed. These rppointments do not expire of themtelves. The incumbent cannot resign at will. She cannot desert without facing a long term in an irmy prison. There she is, and there fhe has to stay until he is released hy surorio- officers, at such time as they feel Kur- they haw no further need for her rvices. The authorities say they are letting them out as fast as they can. and the fact that they have dischnreed nearly two-thirds of them since the armistice wou'd seem to indicate that they are moving in that direction. The joke seems to ho on the patriotic ladies who so gallantly entered the service at the country' nerd, and who now find themselves in bonds.

A FARMERETTE'S SPUD RECORD. A woman in Ft. Augustine, Fla., is naid to have established a new record for women farmers in her stat'. She raised and marketed one of the best white potato crops grown in that region, petting about 45 barrel to the acre from her acres. She dug her potatoes before the heavy and persistent s-as.onal rains set in and marketed thin at the high prices prevailing then. According to report she inado a very good profit. Miss Mildred Allen that is the s-uceessful potato jrrowt rs nam had had no experience with potatoes before this season. Apparently she studied her tround. hr crop and her market carefully before she began. It is a good example of what can be nccomi hshed by courage in tackling 'a new problem and painstaking effort In carrying it th-ousrh. Other women farmers pleas bike note of Miss Allen's first success. No doubt Miss Allen herself will btter h r reeord next time, for she has added the knowl dge of experience to her theoretical knowledge, ami that is a sure-to-wln combination. o

Monr.itN piujiums. (Vankt Ikh1Ic.) The series of ceremonies to commemorate th third centenary of the landing of the Pilgrims began very appropriately with a pageant in Southampton, Krgland. depicting the sailitig from that port of the devoted voyagers in the Mayflower. It was a picture que curtain-raiser, with all the actors in Puritan costume, for the various observances that will engage the attention of this country for some months to come, up to their culmination in the celebrations at Provincetown and Plymouth in Ptcember. And is there in fact any event in the history of this republic to which Americans could more fittingly nlve thought at the f resent time?

More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

(Who refused to Race When the Wind Blows over Twenty Miles an Hour.) Columbus, on the lonesome deck Irresolute and pale With grim forebodings stretched his neck. Across the weather rail, His brow was sad. his courage fled. Despondent was his heart. "The wind is going to blow," he said, "We hadn't better start!" When Nansen, bold Intrepid oul, Upon his ship set out To look upon the frozen p-le And regions thereabout. He spied a flying flake of snow Borne upward on the air And cried, "I guess vve will not go, It must be cold up there."

nirrsEY. The quaint and charming name of Betsey, so endeared to American history had its source far back m earlv times when the Muscovite princess Elisavetta. the daughter of Jaroslav, was the object of the romantic love of the great poet and sea king. Harold Hardrada. of Norway, who sang 19 sonprs of his own composition In her praise on hi way to her from Constantinople and won her hand by his feats of prowess. Her name, which means "Clod's oath," appears in many romantic tales and Danish ballads and finally spread, in numerous ariations. throughout Europe by way of Germany. Klizabeths, Isabels. F.lizas. and Elshets were the most popular names in Europe and still have tremendous vogue, for that mat tor but BetFey is typio.tlly Knglish and latterd.ty American. Many famous women have borne the name in this country. Betsey rtoss. whose skillful finders fashioned the first American flat:, is a heroine rf history.
