KENYON WAS PEEVED.
Harrington Hawkeye.l

Some weeks ago Senator Kenyon
greatly grieved the newspapers OF TINS
country by charging them with being
so controlled by the packers that they
would not print matter unsanctioheo
by the packing interests.
1t will undoubtedly please the junior
senator from Iowa to discover tna'
his TRADE against the press OF the ma
ton beat his colleague, Senator ROD
ert NJ. La Toilette, Of disloyalty charge
fame But the Wisconsin disgrace Il
not far behind the Iowan and, what
he lacked in speed he Is making UP
in the extent of his sweeping charges
According to reports, La Toilette salo
that there are not more than four OF
FIVE publications, reaching not more
than 200,00$O subscribers, which are
not controlled by the Morgan, Stan
dard Oil or allied interests.
Readers of newspapers have only
to glance thru the columns OF prac-
tically any reputable paper to decide
for themselves how truthful Kenyon
was when he let his own peevishness
get the best of his common sense.
AS for La Follettes charges, loya
Americans have long since learned
that the best way to receive his out
bursts is with a tolerant smile. Al
his fellow senator's decided to white
wash him, he must be considered al
one of these pests that must be en-
dured.

LLOYD GEORGE SAID SOMETHING

The premier OF England, known as the
pean governments, tho co1nmoner who
put the KIbosh on the house Of lords
by extracting its hereditary right of
veto. ths common peoples representa-
tive who devised the super tax on
swollen incomes and confiscated a part
OF the unearned increment Of increase
in land values. the man who pulled
England together to oquip its armies
during the war, David Lloyd George,
has told the working men Of England
what Is the matter with their country
and the thing that ails England af-
fliots the United States as well
Lloyd George tells tho people OF
England that they are face to face with
economic destruction unless they are
willing to increase production Of goods
as well as Of food. He showed them
that only the farmers Of England were
producing per man per day as much as
they produced before tho war. Every
other class was loanng on his Job try
ing to shorten his work day and re-
duce his effort under tho fatal and
false belief that moro Jobs and higher
wages could be brought about by do
Ing less work each day.
Lloyd George claimed that the reduo-
ton in production was duo to shorter
working hours and declining effort and
he showed that tho coal miners Of
England produced 40 per cent more
GOAL before the war with 10000 less
men employed In the mines than the
greater number OF men are producing
now.
The war cost England 200 billions
Of dollars. most of which has been
borrowed and her population buys five
billions Of dollars per annum more
goods of other nations than they sell
running In debt to foreign nations by
that amount In their own names while
the war debt Of the government itset
has risen from three to thirty nine
billions.
Lloyd George told his people tina
there had been an Intentional SLOWING
down OF production. which he called
dangerous and fatal policy" We hav

Why Sugar 10 Short.

Housekeepers are asking why they
must run to market and stand at the
weary end of sugar queue, when
normally they get all the sugar they
want by phone They knew why they
gent augarless during the mar; but
now they hear that Cuban warehouses
are crammed with million tons OF
raw sugar, and yet the sugar bowl is
empty.
One reason for our lack is that sug-
arhungry Europe bought refined sugar
ahead Of US. and paid for 1t in advance.
It Is true our government bought all
the Cuban (crop, but to make 1t fit for
food 1t must go thru American ref1n-
cries. and the supply Is now measured
by the capacity of the refineries and
the priority Of orders for refined sugar.
The government sells the raw sugar
to the reineries at fixed price; and
it has flxed the price at which the re-
fineries must sell to jobbers, and the
profit jobbers may make In distributing
1t to retailers. Normally the refineries

KNOCKING A NUISANCE.

We are now in the midst Of that
period of the year most miserable to
a very considerable portion Of our pop
ulation, the session when and eyes and
noses become active, and sneezing ana
melancholy expression tell OF the
prevalence of the dreaded hay fever.
Hay fever which causes a vast
amount of unalloyed misery and an.
uoyance, is a preventable disease, but
20 achieve prevention cooperation on
a widespread scale Is necessary. Hay
fever comes from the pollen produced
in enormous quantities by ragWeed,
giant ragweed, marsh elder careless
weed, cookie bur, yellow dock and 9TH
er low-down weeds. This pollen v
carried by the wind and literally per-
meates the air, 1t becomes almost .
part of the atmosphere. Breathed oy
human beings whose olfactory ap-
paratus Is sensitive and susceptible,
hay fever promptly results.
Were there no. weeds Of the type
mentioned there would be no hay fever.
Therefore the situation resolves itself
into the equation: cut down the rag
weed and it's vile accomplices, and
eliminate the swollen eyes. red nose.

went out that the barberry bush was

agency that interfered with production
was marked. The barberry was on the
blacklist and everybody started after
It. with the result that within a single
year the evil bush was practically ex-
terminated.
