WHEN FATHER CARvES THE
TURKEY.


There's merry music In the az.
When father takes the steel
And picks up that big carving knife
And of its edge doth feel.
He shoves his sleeves to the elbow,
Gives knife and steel swing.
They strike. the sparks begin to fly
How merrily they ring!
Oh, what a picture dear dad makes
AS he goes for that turk!
He jabs the fork into the keel
While we all watch him work.
Of go the wings, fat drumsticks, thighs.
The sweet breast meat comes next.
How quickly do those skillful hands
That juicy bird dissect!
Then. raising his kind face above
The pile Of rich provender,
We bow our heads, he lifts his voice
To thank the heavenly sender.
What jolly laughter then breaks loose
AS father helps each one
Ard he and mother smile on each
And all join In the fun!
Come, have some more!" good daddy
cries.
There's lots of turkey here.
It's Christmas day; enjoy yourselves.
This is the day for cheer"
o joyous feast, o dear home group.
Though / be left alone and old,
Thy memory shall linger sweet
Like roses scent In vase of gold!

| Washington, Feb. A. Rep. Fordney
has heard from his farming constituents
and the great majority of the bulk Of
mail that is left at his door these days
is strong protest against the enact
ment of the reciprocity treaty with
Canada into law. Consequently the con
gresham from Saginaw has donned his
warning mitts and is lively factor in
the sessions of the ways and means com
mittee and most vigorous opponent
of the treaty. Mr.. Fordney is convinced
it is an unequal trade with Canada, and
will make the flight of his life to de-
feat it,"
Mr.. Fordney, on being interviewed
on the proposed Canadian reciprocity
treaty, was prompt in stating that he
was unalterably opposed to it and
would use every honorable means to de-
feat it in it's present form.
The congressman said today: 1T is
apparent on the face of the treaty that
the welfare of the farmer was not taken
into consideration, and the farmer is
the bone and sinew of our nation. It
seems our revenues, our trade balance,
and above all the welfare of the people
at large, has been lost sight Of in mad
desire to secure something with high
sounding name If was a Canadian,
l would urge its adoption by all means,
but as an American, l cannot swallow
it. AS far as the farmer is concerned,
It is free trade. have received many
expressions from farmers in my district
in opposition to this treaty and as yet
have received no communications in
favor of the proposition.
SAYS TRADE IS AN UNEQUAL ONE.
"Of the imports from Canada affected
by this treaty, over So per cent would
be placed on the free list; while but As
per cent of our exports to Canada af
fected by this treaty would be admitted
by Canada free of duty. In other words,
as a general rule, the things Canada
wants TO bring into American markets
agricultural products) will be placed
on the free list; while the things we
would like to sell to Canada only have
reductions of duty.
Again, on the goods affected by this
treaty, the United States last year col.
lected So, 649, 1926 in duties; while Can
ada collected $L776,236 in duties. This
treaty proposes that the United States
shall remit "a, s49, 993 out of total of
S., $40, 1926, which sum we now collect
in duties on imports affected by this
treaty; while Canada is to remit 81, $780,.
$40 Of total of $7,776,236. which sum
she now collects on exports from this
country affected by the treaty. In
short, if the treaty is put into effect. we
will collect $799,s93 in duties on i'm
ports. affected while Canada will collect
s5, els, 657 in duties on our exports af-
fected by the treaty. 1t is indeed nice
measure.
CANNOT MAKE CLAUSE OPERATIVE
Concerning the duties upon wood
pulp, print paper, etc, as provided for
in the proposed treaty. to me it appears

Sees Rum In New Treaty

Former Secretary Of the Treasury
Leslie M. Shaw In Philadelphia in.
terview took positive ground against
the Canadian trade policy of the ad.
ministration, although admitting that
formerly he was one of those Republi-
cans who advocated reciprocity as the
"handmaiden of protection. He said
that while the promise may have had
some merit at the polls it proved to be
a liability in both Congress and the
executive departments. "Once in
about 80 often" remarked Shaw, "the
country goes Democratic, but this ia
the first time the Republican party ever
went Democratic
