CT EAR. CRISP AND CLEAN
THE HEN POET

HHE effect of hen poetry on certain
features of suburban civilization
- has been called to our attention.
In the outskirts of Los Angeles some
men keep chickens, some men grow gar
dens. Owing to the interchangeable efforts
of the former to assimilate the latter
(no cannibalism implied) there is in
existence a considerable amount of the
state of mind called feeling" In re-
Spouse to tension, a new kind of bard
has been evolved. At frequent inter-
walls he strikes the wild Tyre on the
subject of his neighbors hens, and his
heroic iambics and appropriate hem
dekasyllables are ringing around the
neighborhood. He also is tempted to
wiring around the neighborhood-hens'
necks; but he cannot catch the feath-
cred pirates. When, tired with the
chase, he seeks a secluded corner in
order to ruminate in terms of profanity,
his ear is assailed by the cackling caco-
phony and subtle, gloating chuckle of
the hen triumphant, while the insult is
varied by the strenuous and energetic
bowling of the Barred Rock rooster.
Some people call it growing, but if we
could not crow any better than our
friends neighbours ROSTERS we would
give it up. There is a howl, not a crow.
In despair of accomplishing results by
ordinary methods, the hen martyr has
taken to the use of poetry in self
defense. Its object is to heap insults on
the entire chicken family. Here is his
deadliest effort:
May hope that I'll not be cremated
For I want to be reincarnated.
In the form OF a fox
I'll assail the Barred Rocks,
And STAY till my vengeance is stated.
81 read that over the fence to the
neighbors' hens this morning" he said.
"And didn't they all faint away or
drop dead, or something" we asked.
mot my neighbors' hens" replied the
poet sadly "They are not built that
way. When 1 left home their derisive
eacl1le followed me all the way to the
car"

Our correspondent will pardon us for
stating that he is mistaken. We did
suggest a remedy for hunger. We said
that square meals at regular intervals
would cure any case of hunger, chrolc
or acute. Now we will go further and
saw that in order to have square meals
a man must have the price of them,
and that in order to have the price of
them he must have the opportunity Of
earning it. 1t is in regulated OPPOR-
TUNITY that the United States and
other countries are most lamentably

most difficult under the sun, and into
the discussion of it we may not lightly
enter, but we believe that a permanent
solution was intended by the founders
of the United States, or they would
never have used that significant
phrase. 1.-THE greatest good for the
greatest number" The greatest good
implies a constant opportunity to earn
money which may be used for the
purchase Of food, clothing, shelter and
other essentials of the pursuit of hap

ACHES OF ARCADIA

nOLITICAL complications at Ar
cadia are bringing that balmy
= vale of the blessed into wide pub
lcity again. Under the rule of Sancho
Panza Baldwin the Lucky, this sweet
and beautiful rural retreat has won
national renown. An election at Ar
cadia is tribute to the sturdy and en-
curing nature of American institutions.
Any less hardy would probably give
way under the ardent and irresistible
patriotism with which the Baldwin
pippins and the antis hustle for office.
For sheer human interest, the story or
Sancho Panza's government of his ia
nous island cannot be compared with
the political chronicles of Baldwin's
Arcadia.

OF WORLD IlDlE INTEREST
JAPANESE BUSINESS METHODS
BY FREDERIC J. HAsklN

attended to by some patent attorney
| other than native.
The Japanese patent Office refuses to
allow a common name to be registered
as a trademark. Among the applica~
tiUns refused ON this ground are such
! names as ''gramophone," kodak"
''carborundum," linotype" feather
bone" and "aerograph." The argument
Is advanced that these names are so
we'll known that they are even In the
dictionary, and therefore no proprie-
tary rights to them can be recognized.
If the inventors of these words had
registered them in Toxic promptly, this
objection could not have been urged,
and the owners of new name trade
marks will have no trouble in the flu
ture IL they take time by the fore
lock. Another stipulation of the pat
ent Office is that no common firm name
can be registered as a trademark. How
ever, the application of this ruling
seems to depend largely on the per-
sonal knowledge of the clerk. The
name wheeler & Wilson" was reject
ed, while Windsor & Newton" was
accepted The last name is that OF
an English. firm which manufactures
artists SUPPLIES, and 1t is quite as well
known in Great Britain as the sewing
machine firm Is in America.
1t is to be regretted that the Japan
csc have given themselves such bad
business reputation. No people ever
needed foreign confidence and credit
more than they do now. and no one
will suffer from their dishonest deal
ings as much as the Japanese them
selves. While the penalty for their
commercial delinquencies cannot be
avoided on the ground of ignorance,
it is nevertheless true that the Japan

in business. Their training has been
along other lines. For two thousand
years the virtues they have admired.
and practiced have heen loyalty, filial
piety and courtesy. Honesty in bust
ness was not in their code. The mer-
chant was the lowest order of mankind
and a money maker was despised 1t
is not to be expected that in fifty
years q code of morals in business
could be developed which will compare
with that of Europe and America-the
growth of hundreds of years of trad
Ing and competition.
Also 1t must be remembered that the
dealings of many white men in the
10. have not been such fine examples
of commercial honesty as to inspire
integrity in Oriental imitators. The
Japanese will learn their lesson of up
rightness in the costly school of ex
perience. Meanwhile, let us hold them
to their bargains where we can and,
knowing their weakness, be not too
harsh in our Judgment of them. 1t
may soften our criticism somewhat to
keep in mind the fact that the white
man himself sometimes INDUCES in imi-
tation and adulteratiUn. even to the
extent that in the United States we
found 1t necessary to pass a pure food
| law to protect us from ourselves.

under which some enterprising gen.

No right minded citizen can quarrel

the unnatural advances that have en-

DISCOVERY MADE BY EASTERN
 REPORTER
MAN WHO DOES NOT EXIST DOES MANY IMPOSSIBLE THINGS
 IN ARIZONA

A man from Arizona, who never lived in the territory, driving big red tour. ing car that never existed, across a country that an auto could not travel through, is the discovery made recently by a repertorisl sleuth on the Akron (O.) Times.
 The soldier of fortune is, according to the Ohio newspaper, Colonel Stanley Lewis, first lieutenant of the Arizona rangers, flibuster, member of the Irish Legion, former captain in the army of President Castro in Venezuela, former colonel of Hurdles in Sonora, catcher of border smugglers, terror of Arizona cat tie rustlers and nightmare for Chinks, who try to sneak across the line from Mexico without the required "chock gee"
 That so distinguished and celebrated parsonage should have departed un- known from Tucson on cross-continen. tai auto tour will be decided surprise to residents of the old pueblo. Like. wise it will be most unusual news to automobilists that trip has been made across the desert between Tucson and Fl Paso and between Fl Paso and San Antonio over arid country in southwss- tern Texas.
 According to the same eastern paper, "Colonel Lewis" says that the Mexican government is using artillery motor cars against the Yaquis, and that "fying squadron of twelve big cars, with water tanks. now penetrates the Yaqui eoun- try over the death trail and has ann'h lated several big bands of Yaquis." All of which shows easily eastern news papers can be "stung" regarding con ditions and affairs in the southwest by persons who would pose as "wild west" heroes.
