Farmers About Monroe Believe the

The news of the alleged discovery

around Monroe, and many farmers
unhesitatingly declared the Jackson
township men must have been mis-
taken in their identity of the pests
found on the farm of Mr.. GUM.

says he has heard nothing OF weerils
being found in the county, and
though he does not dispute the state
ment of the man from Texas, who pro-
nounced the pests weevls. says il is
possible that an error might have
been made
Numbers OF farmers having been
bringing strange insects found OH

Broom. d" The tendency is when an
unknown pest is found on the cotton

tive freedom from epidemes, TIL,
Journal is determined it shall not be
its fault If any small children OF
neeoy persons in Monroe are lei
out this Christmas. So this papei
has jumped in and started something
with this end in view
In order that no child or needy
family will be neglected this happ,
Yuletide. The Journal inaugurates q
community Christmas tree and relief
fund. and heads subscription list
with a ten dollar donation. All per
sons. high or low, are urged to help
in the undertaking by sending sub
scription to this office. II will be
acknowledged in these columns.
Mr.. Frank Limerick, a member OF
the Monroe Bar. has consented TO act
as Chairman of committee to have
charge of the details of the under
taking. He will handle and disburse
the funds. and have general super
vision of the affair. To cooperate
with him. Mr.. Limerick has appointed
the following committee: DR.. II. f.
Quincy. Rev. j. w. Moore, Rev. John
A. Wray, Rev. S. l.. Rotter, Mrs F.
Il. Ashcraft. Mrs. C. B. Caldwell. Mrs.
! j. C. Skies. Miss Lura Heath and
Miss Beatrice Farley.
The Journals idea is to erect a
huge Christmas tree on the court
house suare some evening during the
holidays. possibly Christmas day. The
tree will be wired and lighted by vari-
coored ncandescent lamps. with
yule-tde decorations suspended from
every twig. Gifts to the children will

children filing through the hall 10
receive them. The various church
choirs will be asked 10 join in "A united
chorus around the tree TO sing Christ
mas carols.
The Journals thought as to any
who may be destitute nr needy al this
happy season is TO have boxes or
baskets go to them on the same even
ing that the tree is lighted. carried
by boys and girls of m" city. OF
course however. all details must be
left to the committee to work out.
This paper believes that the people
of Monroe need only some such sug-
gestion as is herein made TO cause
them to send in their contributions
for cause like this so fast that it
will keep Mr.. Limerick busy for few
days entering them and depositins
them for the use of his committees.
The time is short. however. and
the people OF Monroe. il they wish
10 make a success OF the community
Christmas tree, must send their do
nations In at once.

Palmer and the Prohteers.

Bristling with fierce, righteous Indignation,
the attorney general of the United States
launches a broadside against the coal mer-
chants who propose to be allowed to gain an
excess profit from the Strike. If they attempt
any such thing, Mr.. Palmer tells them, he will
h do something so dreadful as to hold them, ever
after. 1t is SO consong to think we have at
the head Of the Department of Justice man
so resolute. Yet, as the first rush of en-
thusiasm passes, and cold, reasoning glance is
taken at results, the citizen must come to the
conclusion that the cartoonist was right; Mr..
Palmer went hunting, equipped with mighty
arsenal of legal and moral weapons and came
home with miserable bag of game from
woods filled with the biggest and ripest sort.
We realize that he is placed in peculiar
position. Paradng himself just now in a try
out as an asprant for the Honor of succeeding
his chief as leader of the democratic party, Mr.
Palmer wants to do the right thing, and at the
same time doesn't want to lose vote. He re-
calls how few years ago his revered and
respected leader proclaimed that the man who
sought to make money out of the panicky con-
ditions created by democratic monkeying with
business conditions would be hanged at least
d. AlRn ds Ilddnidll-dHu let IL go at tnat
resounding declaration at the critical moment
has well served the democratic chieftains in
lieu of action ever since they were in power.
> Just as the government was looted on war
contracts and as private consumers have been
held up by constituencies price boosters before,
during and after the war, so it will probably
continue until people may relieve themselves
by turning out the administration under which
prohteering has come to be an almost exact
science. Mr. Palmer might give the country
great service but he. probably will not.

Strikes That Settle Themselves.

The law of compensation still operates,
despite the clamor of the reformers who would
do away with it. At least two annoying and
vexatous strikes have been settled in accord
with the everlasting rule that requires a bal
ance. For many weeks shipping has been tied
up in New York harbor by the eontumacy of
the longshoremen These went on an unauthor-
lied strike, defying the officers of their inter
national union and refusing to listen to anyone
who did not coincide with their demands. 1t
was the beginning of the revolution which so
many of the advanced" are talking about
Slowly the fires that kept the passions of the
men heated to the point of unreason have died
away, and the strike has collapsed for want of
vitality. The same is true of the steel strike
1t was as ill-advised as that of the longshore-
men, or the coal miners, and is coming to an
inglorious end for the same reason. Thrice
armed is he who hath his quarrel just" but any
cause that rests on "a basis of naked power" is
doomed in advance. Strikes to be won must
contain promise of good to all and not merely
an advantage to few.

Making Cotton Crop Pay.

With cotton quoted at New York around
IS cents a pound, a Louisiana planter is re-
ported to have sold his seasons crop at Is
cents. at which rate 800 bales brought him
$360000. Good cotton land producing normal
YIELD will bling forth around bale to the acre.
Assuming for safety's sake that the crop in
question was the total yield of 1000 acres, it
stands gross return >of $3.50 an acre, or rather
more than is possible even for sugar beets the
most remuneratve of northrn grown crops 1t
is extremely probable that some exceptional
circumstances attended the sale in question, for
no other similar case is yet reported. The ugly
fact is, however, that the cotton yield for the
current year is only little over half the normal
Voluntary restrictions of acreage and an I'm
favorable season Is responsible for this Cotton
planters looking to their own interests, solely,
agreed to reduce the ares seeded to cotton for
1919. Their avowed aim was to reduce the
yield and keep up the price. Through the un.
the scheme succeeded better than its projectors
planned, and the world will be held up on ac-
count Of the short crop. When some short
sighted middle western farmers proposed to
restrict the area sown to wheat they were
roundly denounced; the miners have been called
immoral for going on strike il face of winter,
creating an artificial scarcity Of coal What
will be said Of the cotton planter who delib-
erately took such means to keep up the price of
his product, which is so badly needed for the
welfare of the world7

keep your clothes-press looking neat
as well. 1t will be a good plan to
stand these on the shelves. They
will keep fresh longer.
Wall paper makes most attrac-
tive covering for a hat box too. A
pattern of roses, violets, or punches
of wild flowers, is the best to use.
Lay the cover on the wall paper,
cutting it to fit, and then paste it
neatly in place. Cut broad and a
narrow strip to paste around the
box and the edge of fhe cover.
For Your Bureau.
A small, round candy box makes
charming pin cushion. 1t may be
already covered, and it is usually
strong so that you have a founda-
ton to to. Use only the box
itself and stuff it with wood. Cover
the wool with pink or blue silk.
Then cover the outside with silk to
match, lacking it to the edge of the
box.
A few of the tiny silk flowers
that you now buy by the yard ih
the shops may be glued to the edge
of the box, or a ruffle of lace will
cover your stitches.

BRING OUT ALL THE FACTS.

The case taken to the grand jury by the
local machinists' union, in which the rights of
young man are said to have been ignored,
FIRST by policeman, second by the police judge,
and finally by an attorney, deserves fullest in
vestigation. On the surface it looks like one
of the most remarkable outrages ever COM
mitted.
That 4 boy a stranger in the city, should be
arrested at the door of hotel where he was
about to apply for lodging, 10 remarkable in
itself That he should be charged with
vagrancy. in spite of the fact that he was pos
sessed Of $3.50 in cash, paid-up working card
in great international labor union, and other
documents that would easily prove his charae-
ter, is a sign of malicious stupidity on part Of
the officer who made the arrest.
When afraigned in police court, the judge
should have given the case at least sufficient at
tention to determine if the story told by the
victim had any merit Instead the perfunctory
process of listening to what the arresting officer
had to say and then inflicting = sentence Of
\ fifteen days in Jail was gone through, and the
lad was hurried without ceremony to the
county Jail.
Finally the course of the attorney who Sc

ton of $500 in cash, as an earnest that the fee
of the freeholder who qualified on the bail bond
would be paid, also invites inspection.
All in all, the case is so remarkable in its
outward aspect that for the good of Omaha
the facts should be completely sifted. The
action of the machinists in moving to secure a
full inquiry is commendable 1t may bring out
the truth, and possibly suggest that further re-
forms are needed in the police system, or lack
of system.

Box Craft for Your Room.
Nv CAROLYN SHERwIN BAILEY.


BY CAROLYN SHERwIN BAILEY
Don't throw away one of the
strong cardboard boxes that the
shops send to you. Each one will
give you a great deal of fun in using
your hands, and will make some
thing useful and attractive for your
room.
Home Made Week End Bag.
This is made from the strong
box in which your new suit came.
Lay the Box and the cover on large
pieces of brown linen or denim and
trim to fit, cutting out the corners.
Stretch the cloth tightly over the
edges, gluing it in place so that both
box and cover are neatly covered. If
you like, you may make scented
pads of cretonne to fit the inside
and tack them in place. This will
hold pour weekend things beauti-
fully if you fasten it with a shawl
strap, and it will serve for longer
trip too.
Dainty Clothes-Press Boxes.
Cover strong shoe boxes, just as
you did the weekend bag, using
chintz in a samll lowered pattern.
Pieces Of wall paper in a pretty pat
tern may be used also. These will
hold your ties and slippers and
