Boshland Wheat of Blowhard, Kan,
sat idly watching a fly standing still
on his left shoe on the porch of the
Commercial hotel. Bangshot, S. D. 1t
was hot day. 90 above in its stocking
feet.
Suddenly light gust of wind blew
q newspaper into his hands. so Bosh-
land decided to read it.
The first item that caught his eye
was dated, Blowhard, Kan.-"A holy
terror Of cyclone struck this town
last night, wreaking havoc and in
dignation. Fourteen homes have dis
appeared so far and not been heard
from, and the Second Vegetarian
church was lifted and set down in front
of Ike splooter's pool parlor."
Needless 10 say. Boshland Wheat
took the first train back home.
Wreckage met his eyes everywhere.
"Ah. at least the house Is still
there" he muttered, and rushed in.
only to find everything in confusion,
Tables, chairs, pictures, rugs, babies
banks. were piled pell-mell in dread
full confusion. There was no sign OF
his wife.
Hertha!" he cried in a frenzy.
Bertha"
"oh. you are back" cried her
voice from upstairs. I'm spring
housekeeping. Don't fall over any
thing. Isn't it lucky the cyclone never
touched u.s."
With a muttered oath. Boshland
Wheat went out and got drunk.

, Great Britain is a pretty busy lit
tie nation nowadays, and while the
attitude of our administration is
supposedly neutral, still the Under
wood tariff law comes in handy as a
resource on which England may con-
fidently rely. Great Britain sent US
$191. 100000 worth OF merchandise
during the eight months period
ended February, 1916, which was
SIS, 100000 more than 1t sent US for
the same period ended February.

is quite probable that England's ex-
ports to this country would have
! been twice what they were under our

for what We received We are truly

The department of commerce an
nounces that it will conduct an in
Sestigation into foreign market con-
ditions outside the fighting zone.
There is need of it. Ever since tho
Democratic tariff law was passed, the
nations not now at war have been
increasing their sales to us as COM
pared with our sales to them. The
administration is much in need OF an
explanation. and perhaps its corps
of Investigators will be able to put
up an explanation that will serve I'M
til after the election.

"The gentlemen who talk one way
and vote another are going to be re-
tired to very quiet and private re-
treats" said Woodrow Wilson in n
speech during his 1912 campaign.
Then. in violation of his campaign
pledges, he led Democratic congress-
men and senators to vote in direct
ronflict with the way they had talked.
Their retreats will be not only prl-
waite and quiet but long continued.
