Feeling Younger

I'm feeling younger than I did three
weeks ago today, for now I'm classed
with the young men who'll make the
Huns eat hay; l know that now my
Uncle Sam has got a string on me.
and soon I'll have my Enfield gun and
travel over sea. Years ago shot the
Springfield out on the rifle range. but
never was so lucky as to even get a
change from shooting paper targets
which I'll admit was fun, but never
to be compared to bringing down a
Hun. Feeling younger? You just
bet! and I am anxious for the day,
when Uncle Sans hand is on my
shoulder, and I know he's going to
say: Take this new Enfield rifle, go
along with my brave boys, go to it.,
lad, kill all you can, get in on the
big noise'" Why shouldn't feel
younger? I'm, no longer forty-three,
for now I'm classed with those young
men who're going oversee, and hap
py day twill be for me when get the
sights on that new gun lined up with
the gray coat of a treacherous. MUIR
dering Hun. Well I guess I'm feeling
younger and I should think might,

Just before the war the German
Electrical Works. which is one Of the
largest industrial institutions in Ger
many. purchased in Malmo, Sweden,
ground on which to erect an electrical
products factory for the Swedish
market, so as to avoid the Swedish
tariff. The war delayed operations,
but report from our consul general
at Stockholm states that the factory
is to be erected at cost of over ST.
100000. Under the Swedish law the
factory becomes a Swedish concern
provided subjects of Sweden alone
are the officers of the company. The
capital, however, may be German.
This affords a pretty good opportuni-
ty for dummy directors and nominal
officers. 1t also indicates that the
free traders argument that the con-
sumner pays the tariff tax is a little
bit shy Of logic. Here the manufac-
turers are to operate in Sweden to
avoid the Swedish tariff. Free trade
is filled with sophistry.
