party as big as county convention and an all-night
session with the tango and the turkey trot.
Going out to the country, the same thing is true.
Suppose lot of farmers are mortgaging their farms
to buy autos? 1t may look thrifter to mortgage the
farm in order TO buy all the land joinin" but there
is room for debate here, even. The farmer who
eternally wants all the land joining him. is likely to
have drudge of wife with strong mathematical
chance of joining the impressive procession of farm
women who land in the insane hospital. His children
know few pleasures, and fewer books, because they
must 60 to work early to help pay for the land.
If every farm had an automobile and mortgage
there would be vast deal less of deserving the
farm in order to get some comfort out of living.

MoRELos TO THE RESCUE!

The state of Morelos is in south central Mexico
to the south of the national capital 1t is of the
smaller states of the republic known to- fame as the
home and unhappy hunting ground of Zapata,
Whether Zapata is highly talented brigand or a
patriot is mooted question. But some facts about
Morelos are not subjects of conjecture
4 little group of very rich families own prac-
tically all the land in Morelos. They didn't make
that land, even buy it. They got it as most land
in this world came into its present ownership at
some early stage: they just took it; that is, it was
/ granted" to them by governments" that assumed
the right to give without reference to the aboriginal
population.
These landrichi holders have oppressed the
people to the point where large part of the people
have turned into brgands in preference to starving
10 death without at least trying to better their con-
dition. They are the same sort Of brigands that
wintered with 6. Washington at Valley Forge. II
the Washington bandits had met defeat instead of
victory at Yorktown they would be very fairly COM
parable, today, to the Zapatistas of Morelos.
S The planters" of Morelos have rendered large
fund to Huerta it is stated, to help him fight for his
efice. That is tc say, the bene6caries of monopoly
are raising the campaign fund of their political
friends We are not without experience of that
kind of patriotism in this country.

A CHANCE FOR THE MANCHUs.

From Peking comes the story that the members
of the old Manchu house of China's rulers are on
the verge of poverty. When the ruling family was
deposed it was promised ample pension, but the
pension has not been paid and the ex-grandees are
in dire straits for funds
So long as there is an abundance of linen in
these United States that pleads for laundering, we
shall try heroically to suppress excesses of emotion
at contemplation of the sorrows which the late i'm
perial family must endure. Without doubt proper
appeal would induce Congress to let down the i'm
migration bars enough to admit eminenty quail
fed family of laundry overlords. They would
presently be able to earn their hvings and re-
lieve China of this latest financial crisis

and in many other branches Of trads

The demand for specially trained
chemists is increasing. The extsn-
sion of the agricultural bureaus both
by State and national governments-
creating openings daily. The young
man or woman with an inborn nkin9
for investigation and mind that Is
quick at analyzfng should consider
chemistry as a possible occupation
Other important qualifications for q
chemist are eSactness. accuracy. thor
oughness and patience. A good ply
steal constitution is always of value
in chemistry, which often entails a
considerable amount OF physical
work.
The best way to take up this work
is to go through a regular course OF
study at some college. For the aver
study in some special school The
Cooper Union in New York Is an ex-
cellent school for that purpose. The
Y. NJ. c. ~, too, offers q good prac-
teal course in chemistry.
After graduation a special line OF
work can. be taken up In one Of the
Industrial establishments Or
young man may take a position az
assistant to another chemist and
there learn the special line TO be fol-
lowed in all its practical phases.
The average pay Of chemist runs
from 81 TO s35 per week. There are
chemists in special lines Of work who
earn much more. The higher ana
