TIE British are having another
fear-of-invasion spasm. Our Old
4 Warld friends and kinsmen are
never more interesting than when they
are throwing one of these fits. You
may NOT sleep quietly in your BEDS
says a London paper, and gives reasons
why. For one thousand weary years
British statesmen have kept the in
vasion bugaboo on hand, and whenever
there has been urgent need of an APP
preparation for military or naval or
other governmental purposes they nave
taken the mummy wrappings of the
ancient "bug" and have exhibited its
hideous form to a producing,
credulous nation and a skeptical world.
1t would be easy to invade Great
Britain. Continental and British STRAIT

be accomplished. But it would be diff
cult for the invading army to get back

FRUGAL WORKMEN

HHE canal zone is too little known
by citizens of the United States.
- A paper called the Canal Record,
published at Ancon, Isthmus of Pan
anna, says the laboring men there are
remarkably Industrious and frugal.
During 1907 postoffice orders for total
amount of 1888, 66256 were issued in
the seventeen pcstoffices of the canal
zone. Two-thirds o. this money was
returned to the United States, while
$751;, 14370 was retained in the zone.
That the employees of the canal are
saving is evidenced by the fact that
the orders drawn payable in the zone
represent money which employees ac-
oumulate to take home with them when
they go on their annual leave.
The figures relating to the postal
business done in the canal zone during
1907 are impressive. They are as fol-

UNPATRIOTIC GOUGE

TT IS TO BE hoped that the con-
spiracy to corner the onion supply
II will be nipped in the bulb. Ow-
ing to a heavy demand for fresh veg
etables for the battle fleet the visible
supply of onions was depleted and
shrewd operators saw an opportunity
t. make some easy money by gaining
control of all the onions that had not
been bespoken for Uncle Sam. So up
goes the price of onions. 1t may be
the patriotic duty Of every citizen TO
pay the advanced price. The salesman
rnay argue that the customer is merely
showing his loyalty to Uncle Sam and
the star spangled banner by complying
cheerfully with the demand for an in
creased rate. II some one will now ex-
7 lain why it is also a patriotic duty
on the part of the onion handlers aud
nanipulators and regulators to hold up
the people because Uncle Sam is in the
market we will not have another word
10 say on the subject, The housewife
must not be fooled into the belief that
Uncle Sam has cornered the visible
supply of onions and that the price has
been increased in consequence. AS
soon as it became evident that the gov
ornment was to be a customer a corner
was formed and dealers began to pratt
tie the artless tale that owing to an un-
rrecedented demand caused by the visit
of the fleet the price of onions had to
be increased and that we must not be
surprised if there is also marked adj
vance in the price of all other fresh
vegetables. Well, we won't be sur
prised, but we cannot promise not to
he indignant.

What sprouted That Hair?

w. r. Rose of Cleveland has ma
t.onai reputation as humorist. His
Plain Deals have won fame and, we
hope, fortune. He has written plays
and vaudeville sketches. Mr.. Rose
made many friends in Los Angeles
when he was here with the American
Press Humorists.
AS a press agent for the National
Educational association Mr.. Rose bids
fair to start something in Ohio.
at Washington, according to w.
dignified educators TO discuss methods
of advertising the convention. He sug-
gested:
/. Beautiful school teacher robbed of
her jewels on reaching Cleveland. We
toed.
@ Beautiful school teacher refuses to
accept hotel accommodations without
heavy guarantee that Merry Widow"
waltz will not be perpetrated near the
premises. Vetoed.
g. Ninety beautiful school teachers
(90) form an association binding them
selves to marry only men with red
hair. Vetoed.
H. Beautiful school teacher, on COM
ing to Cleveland convention, advertises
for small children to spank. Has to
spank so many daily to keep in train
ing for fall term. Vetoed. Etc, etc.
But how am 1 to advertise your
convention, anyhow" demanded Mr..
Rose, dramatist and press humorist,
tearing his hair Gsn't this figurativelyO
when they stopped him at this point
"And I'm blessed if 1 know" he said
sadly when he left for Cleveland.
Write anything you like as long as
you mention the National Educational
association convention, and the date,
June 20 to July g. Write anything you
like"
Now, there's the date and this is a
free reader. If it helps Mr.. Rose we
are delighted.
There's one thing we want to say In
regard to this N. e. A.: If some of our
bright eyed, dimpled, applecheeked Los
Angeles schoolmaams go to Cleveland
there will be havoc in hearts in the
city by the lakes.
