DEMOCRACY!

Lumber jobbers and wholesalers, fearful lest the
government shall fix price to consumers, are cois-
tered in the Henry building today trying to stall off
any such wide-sweeping interference.
ut is undemocratic" declare the middlemen, "to
ask protection against the abuses Of few jobbers at
the expense of the rest of US"
Horrors. The fixed price to consumers seems to
be dark, unholy menace-even undemocratic.
IF the lumbermen trying to protect democracy
they ought climb the other side of the fence,
indorse price fixing and that the prices the
very lowest possible to the consumer.
AS matter of fact, the commercial interests, little
and big are nearly all profiteering in way or the
other
Business men, little and big give their sons to the
service and are proud Of them.
But while they shake fist at the enemy they
are often grabbing after extra profits with the other

From an unquestionable source to-

Secretary Daniels has taken the

PUCILISM'S WHO'S WHO
Jess Willard-The Guy Who Took
the "Riot" Out of Patriot

According to reports emigrating
down in his training, and instead Of
welding his quill toothpick himself
after meals lets his first butler do the
heavy work for him. The champion is
said to have become discouraged about
the chances Of meeting Fred Fulton in
St. Paul on July because of the
unfriendly attitude of the Minnesota
authorities, and has decided that there
is no use in getting down too fine un-
less he is certain of action.
Jess reminds us of the Una old
rooster up on the farm. Just because
the egg he was born in happened to
be fitted up with spurs, this particular
bird struts around the yard expanding
his wishbone and getting the sun out
of bed every morning. He scratches
up the fattest, most buXom worms, the
ones with that seductive wiggle that
comes only with spring, and then he
yells: "Oh, lovely fat worm for Mrs.
Hen," and holds the breakfast dainty
temptingly for all to see.
But when the barnyard matrons
comes bustling up with keen appetites
the pompous rooster gobbles up the
worm himself, laughing at the scold-
ing. of Mrs. Hen. Of course, he gets
a lot of free advertising by this
method, as nobody sees him eat the
breakfast food but the hens, and the
crue. world won't listen to their COM
plants. The folks up on the farm
have named the rooster "Jess Willard"
One day the little bantam rooster
came over to VISIT in Jess Willard's"
