Secretary Morton Smashed Lifetime
Dream Of Old Sailor

Ia an article on Paul Morton. late
secretary Of the navy the New York
Evening Post says
when. on one occasion. q navy de-
partment clerk brought him the great
official parchment commission Of a
newly promoted rear admiral for his
signature he signed it, after reading it.
as he would any document before
signing. and noting the clerk stlll pres
ent with the document inquired what
he wanled and was told:
Admiral Blank would very much
like to receive his new commission
from the hands OF the secretary OF the
navy personally
Where IS hep asked the secretary.
Admiral Blank Is upstairs, In his
office. SIR
Ask him to come here. was the
command, and in a few moments the
grizzled veteran presented himself to
the secretary Of the navy.
Evidently, the officer was filled
with sentimental emotion on this
event-the climax Of his naval career.
From boyhood he had lived for this
moment, bis long terms Of sea duty,
the monotony Of shore service, the
anxieties OF war, the arrogance Of su-
perior officers, the whole chapter Of
the rigors, the self-denial and self
discipline, was to be crowned with The
evidence Of honor which his country
bestows upon faithful naval officers.
He looked his expectation OF words
Of praise, as If in lonely watches he
had dreamed Of the eloquent sentences
which would become the psalm Of his
old age.
"The secretary Of the navy stood
up, handed the open parchment to the
speechless rear admiral, and said only
this:
Admiral Blank, here's your com
mission
Then he sat down to his desk and
went on with his work, unconscious
Of having smashed a lifetimes dream. 3"

AN ADVERTISING TRICK FOR
NEEeTHaH EaHMEaa


A smooth scheme for separating
farmers from their money has been
worked with much success in South
Dakota. An oily CRATER calls on a
farmer and makes a bid for his land.
The figures are ahsmdly low at first,
but BY degrees are raised as high as
$50 an acre, and the farmer consents.
Then the visitor explains that he is
only an agent, but that he can sell the
land at the price named II the owner
viii agree to pay for advertising at
the rate Of fifty cents an acre The
agent promises orally that the ad-
vertising money will not be payable
until the land IS sold but this stipula-
ton is not contained in contract
that the farmer signs.
In few days he receives a copy OF
an ad and not over-courteous demand
for money. 1t is said that twenty
two agriculturists were caught with
this bait in Brown County and that
one Of them gave up 1920. Others de-
clare hotly that they will not pay but
they will make a fight In the. courts.

A senator who went to Washington
recently was met by friend, who cor

three members Of the nations high
est law-making body who were re-
quested to act as a committee to de-
termine the merits Of the respective

usual IN that not a single senator
could be found who had not made a
