Leonard Wood in a recent address praised the soldiers of foreign birth or descent in these words: "We have had in our armies representatives of all the fighting groups in Europe, to say a word of appreciationof the loyalty of the citizens of descent Some of them came from the blood strains of our enemies, ve only to read the lists of our to realize that these Americans of German and other descents have been loyal. They have written anew tfieir oath of allegiance. This time it written in their own blood. Thefee new people are now a part of in every sense. So let us hear no more of hyphenated Americans and ioW upon all who have been loyal as Americans." Prices Still Upward.

When the armistice was signed, it was generally expected that soon the trend of prices would be downward. The fighters would get to work, and would be raising crops in Europe, war bills would stop and there would be a general tendency back to normal conditions. But here it is eight months after the end of hostilities, with prices no lower and many further advances threatened. Clothing and shoes wil go up in the fall. Food prices show no indication of dropping.

The cost of building and repairing houses is increasing. A man bought a pair of shoes in a big city store for $18.00. He was a rather free spender, so he did not think much of the price afterward. Then he saw attached to the ticket the name of a manufacturer with whom he had some acquaintance personally. He wrote to the maker ahd asked him to send him a pair of just the same shoes and bill him at whatever the price was.

He received the shoes and the lSill was $5.50. It looked as if some one was making money. No doubt this case was exceptional. I The shoes were probably bought at a an ilBjpla Fire and the Northwestern Na-1 Insurance companies. The lower were given the judgment.

Any producer is entitled to an advance on his product comparable to the general advance in expenses and lmng costs. But a great many advances are going far beyond that point and should stop. All elements should get together in a nation wide movement to stop prices in every case at a reasonable point. If it can not be done by law, it could be accomplished by some form of community action and co-operation of all elements.

Jefferson Pastor Broadway Tabernacle, New York. The successful drive of the Methodists of the United States for one hundred and forty million dollars for work at home and abroad is the most stupendous achievement of any branch of the Christian Church in modern history. It is inevry way wonderful. No matter from what standpoint it is surveyed, it dazzles the imagination and thrill3 tlfe heart. The length and the breadth and the height of the work are equal.

It runs far into the future: It is as wide as the world, and it goes down deep into the soul. It was a money-raising scheme, but it was more than that it was a vast program of spiritual culture. It aimed not simply at dollars, but at the building up of the life of the soul. -All ecclesiastical workers will be able for years to study this enterprise with profit. On the side of organization, it was a marvel.

The machinery which it created was well nigh perfect. Without this elaborate and efficient apparatus the mighty work could not have been accomplished. The patience and pains expended in mapping the field were immense, and the way in which every branch of the work was analyzed and presented in detail was a piece of consummate wi3dom. The thoroughness of the study and the comprehensiveness of the plan of the picturesque way in which the plan was presented in publication and by picture and by speech were in themselves engines of power sufficient to open the minds and the hearts and the purses of millions. The mobilization of the man-power of the church was superb.

Sixty thousand laymen were converted into minute men and set to talking for Christ and His Church. That was another bold stroke of genius. The outcome is what it is partly because the organization and planning were so careful and complete, the instruction and publicity were so incessant and full, the co-operation of ministers and laymen so hearty and universal but the root cause of the A ictory is the stupendous faith out of which the colossal movement No one with a feeble faith could 'ever have conceived so daring and 'hazardous an enterprise Men walk by sight could never committed themselves to a dream so perilous and apparently quixotic Onlj men of great heart and broad miud gifttd with a power of thinking in -world terms could have faced undaunted the mountainous obstacles. Many conditions conspired to make the drive spem inopportune and OVP hopeless The people were drained already by made neressary by the war. Other Allen was Pall sta ns sit Rive a fSZ taxes and the high cost of living made it seom impossible for the Vothcd'st- to shoulder a burden so heavy But Methodism has leaders of tremendous faith The faced all the difficulties without flinching.

They fused to admit to thenvocabulary tli word impossible Fired by a confidence equal to that of the ancient prophets and apostles, they have gone magnifkently over the top. We. and the other communions, extend hearty congratulations, and beholding this fresh victory of faith, we thank God and take courage. Statement of the Condition of BANK OF VIKING, Viking, Minnesota.
