NOTHING TO DO.

Nothing to do. said plant one day;
Nothing to do to make life gay,
But the golden sunbeam gently said,
I'll raise your droopy head.
Nothing to do, said little boy,
But play and have lots of joy,
But his kind mother said, Hurry SON.
Forit's time to get your days
work done.
Nothing to do, said the tiny girl,
Just run around and play with
the squirrel;
Hurry my dear, or we will be late,
School takes in at half past eight
Nothing to do, said the loafer one
day,
Along came a soldier happy and gay,
"Move on Stacker, you aren't fit to
live,
But all the call of my country, my
life I'll give"
Nothing to do, said the lazy man,
But sit around with folded hand;
By and by came a worker his way,
Reaping what he had sown in 9
three fold way.
Nothing to do, said the cheat, =
But sit around, and dead beat,
Time will bring me what I need,
But no one noticed his plead.
Nothing to do, said the student one
day, =
But sit around, talk and be gay,
When his report caught his eye
Several zeroes and ! wonder why!
Nothing to do, said the, farmer with
joy,
I'll sit down and leave the work te
my boy,
Along came a pretty maid .
And the boy has left his trade.
Nothing to do, says many friend,
But no success to him will attend
For those who work, are the ones
- why try
To do their duty until they die.
Nothing to do, at tho close Of day,
But to thank God and pray,
That We do our part in the history Of
life,
Proving q hero in the strife.

HUGE SUPPLIES FROM AMERICA
Are Being Received in Poland Through
Port of Danzig.

Danzig, Dec l7-More than 100000
tons of foodstuffs and raw cotton have
been shipped to Poland via Danzig from
the United States since last February
For time these supplies were arriving
at the rate of 5000 tons daily, A ship
ment of 100 locomotives is expected
soon.
The American relief administration
for feeding European children directs
its work in Poland from Danzig John
II. LANCE of Seattle, Wash, and Cap
tain G. A. Adele, naval attache at War
saw, are in charge. Mr. Lange told the
Associated Press correspondent that in
Poland alone the American relief ad-
ministration was now feeding about
100000 children.
1--WE expect, he said, "to do some re-
lief work in Germany before long, espe-
cially here in Danzig. There is very
little milk in this district for children,
and meat, sugar and fats are also
scarce.
'Danzig will soon be free city and,
as Poland's port, is more Polish than
German. At the present time the Ger
man government bears the expense of
importing most of the foreign food
stuifs and sells it at a priee'which the
people can afford to pay. This arrange
ment will cease soon, and think there
will be urgent need then of our help,

In the files of the bureau of war risk
insurance, Washington, d. c., are the
names and records of upwards of L.
500 900 soldiers, sailors and marines,
insured under the war risk insurance
act. In the card indexes are listed
the names of $4,000 Johnsons, the most
numerous family name in the bureau
records. Some of these Johnsons also
spell their names variousiy, as John
ston and tombstone. The Smiths, with
81 $50, are not far behind numerically.
The Browns, with $4,000, are third, and
Williams family comes to the front
with 1900 names. Then in the or
der named come the Joneses, 28050
strong; the Andersons, $4,000; the
Walkers, 1880.
OF the $4,000 Johnsons, 2,l3S were

it is the most common practice in our
homes-but we must remember that
the teachers salaries have not advanced
in any relation to the decrease in pur-
chasing power Of the dollar That the
general increase in pay elsewhere has
constituted an actual reduction in the
intrinsic value of these salaries and
that as true men and women we will
begin setting our house in order.
"The salaries should beNincreased inn
mediately at least 80 per cent more
than the prewar amount for a given
experience and status. Due eonsidera
vance in salary that teacher would
have had at this time if there had been
no war. On this there should be at
least a 90 per cent increase. 1t should
begin not later than Feb. and earlier
if possible This is not philanthropy.
This is not a needless action. 1t is
something that is necessary if we are
to protect this country from the scourge
of the so-called radical trend of
thought.
''Not that our salaried teachers would
be leaders in dissension but that they
would actually see no fair deal in our
scheme Of government when special
groups can pat over an increase of 100
per cent or more in remuneration, while
others not so organized must be con-
tent to suffer an actual cut by reason
of the increased cost of existence, due
to the raise in pay forced by Others.
I'VE can preach Americanization m-
til we are all hoarse. We can say that
all conditions Of inequality can be rec
titled by our regular procedure of cleo
tions, lawmaking and law enforcement,
and that this can be done by depending
on the intelligence of the American
people. We can also go down to the
seashore with brooms and optimism
fully confident of our ability TO sweep
back the sea; but, gentlemen, we will
not get results by such methods. We
will get results by telling the plain
facts-that our dollar does not buy so
much as it did before the war, that a
square deal to teachers is absolutely
essential to keep the inner sense Of
equity of our system of government,
that without that true inner sense or a
true inner conviction of possible equity
our teachers may continue to preach
true ideals of Americanism. They may
strive to serve Loyalty, but their words
will not fit their inner sense Of justice,
and, like all words that are not backed
mp in the heart, they will actually pro-
duee an opposite effect
1T is up to the school directors to
carry forward this plan. OF course we
all know that there has never been a
plan Of progress that has not raised a
flock Of questions regarding the way Of
attainment. and we also know that, on
the other hand, there never was coun-
try's need that could not be alleviated
by determined push of an awakened
people.
when our people truly sense this
situation there win be readiness on the
part of everyone, whether an underpaid
wage Garner, an underpaid salary ear
ner or uever-paid housewife, to rise
as one body to give the teachers and
Amerieanism square deal

When told that statistics showed
that more than lS3,000,000 Russians
could neither read or write, Buhkanob
said he wanted to 90 back to Russia
just the same, ito help them" He said
he had no use for any government even
though it protected his life and prop
erty, enabled him to earn a good living
and to dwell in peace and comfort. He
said a police or fire department, street
cleaning system, water works, Lighting
system or any other public service
would be acceptable to him if they all
did not involve the exercise of author
ity"
u. II. Anderson, director of the New
York public library, in statement re-
garding Buhkanob's charges that he
had obtained anarchistio literature
from one of the library branches, said
he had been unable TO find the books

and other similar writers, he said,
printed in Russian, were undoubtedly
on the shelves but they were not Sin

of high literary value.

Easy to Make This
Pine Cough Remedy
Thousands of families swear by it's
prompt results. Inexpensive,
and saves about 81.


You know that pine is used in
nearly all prescriptions and remedies
for coughs. The reason is that pine
contains several peculiar elements that
have remarkable effect IN soothing
and healing the membranes OF the
throat and chest.
Pine cough syrups are combinations
of pine and syrup. The syrup" part
is usually plain sugar syrup.
To make the best pine cough remedy
that money can buy, put 2ls ounces
of Pinex in pint bottle, and FIJI up
with homemade sugar syrup Or you
can use clarified molasses, honey, or
corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup.
Either way, you make full pint-more
than YOU can buy ready made for three
times the money. 1t is pure, good
and very pleasant-children like it.
You can feel this take hold of a
cough or cold in way that means

hoarse and tight, or may be persist.

Because City Failed to Re-
woke the Licenses of
Jitneys
THOUSANDS WERE
FORCED TO WALK
Beverly and Peabody Were
Also Affected by the
Tie-Up

Salem, Mass, Dec. lS.-Suspension of
virtually all trolley service on the Sa.
lem division, comprising this city, Bev-
erly and Peabody by the public trus-
tees of the Eastern Massachusetts,
Street Railway company to-day forced
thousands to walk to work in the be-
low zero temperature or to ride in
crowded, unheated jitneys. The buses
were inadequate to care for the crowds
notwithstanding the operation Of 25
extra machines over lines formerly ira
versed by the trolley cars.
The trolley tie-up was in accordance
with the decision of the trustees to re-
move the cars unless the city revoked
jitney licenses. Special meetings of the
governments in the three cities last
night failed to revoke the licenses and
as result the railway officials refused
to start the cars to-day, except on a
few lines where there has been no com
petition.
hSSuldl IlpIitN StANltt was Hld&ii-
tanned between this city and Daavers,
where the selectmen recently cancelled
all jitney licenses. Except for the in
frequent train service on the branch
line of the Boston and Maine railroad
and the jitneys, Peabody was cut off
from Salem and Lynn. Two ears were
operated over one of the Salem and
Lynn lines in the early morning to ae-
commodate workers in the Lynn plants
of the General Electric company. Hun
drcds of persons who live here, but are
employed in Lynn or Beverly, suffered
the inconvenience Of already crowded
Boston and Maine steam trains. Sew.
eral large jitneys expected from Lynn
to handle interurban traffic failed to
appear, because Of shortage in that
city, where the police seized nearly a
score Of machines yesterday after the
| license bonds had been declared void
Public meetings will be held to night
by the officials OF the three cities af-
fected. The jitney operators will be
given a special hearing here on their
proposal to organize a big bus
operating company. President John
WEIGH of the Jitney Operators associa-
ton Of Lynn and Salem has announced
that several banks stated they would
finance such an organization.

GOVT. LIBER4LIZES
VAR RISK INSURANCE
Easier and More Elastic Provisions I'm
der Which Former Service Men
May Reinstate Lapsed or
Cancelled Policies.

To liberalize the conditions under
which our former soldiers, sailors and
marine may reinstate lapsed or can
celled insurance carried with the bu-
reau of war risk insurance, Washing
ton, D. c.. new and important rulings
have been made by Director R. G.
Cholmeley.J Jones, with the approval OF
the secretary of the treasury.
Former service men have Is months
from the date of their discharge within
which to reinstate their insurance upon
these conditions:
If discharged more than three months
the applicant must state in his appli-
cation that he is in as good health as
when discharged, no physical eXamina-
ton being necessary. If discharged
less than three months, he need not
make a formal application nor a state
ment of health. In either case, he will
be required to pay only two months
premiums ON the amount of insurance
to be reinstated. One of the two pre-
miums required to be paid covers the
month of grace during which his in
surance remained in force; the other
premioum is for the current month in
which reinstatement becomes effective.
Premiums for the months between are
not required A man whose insurance
lapsed in January, 1919, and was re-
instat6d in December, 1919, would pay
only the January, 1919, premium tthe
month of grace, when he was protect
ed and the December of current pre-
