RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason
NOAH'S ARK.

1t is hard to write a packet of the verse that man en-
joys, when the house is full Of racket, full of fifty kinds
of noise. Oh, the boys and girls assemble in the shack
wherein | dwell, making that old structure tremble, while
they whoOp around and yell. Then | think of Father Noah
and his cargo in the ark, of his warthog and his boa, and
his large man eating shark. | appreciate his feelings
while he tried to do his chores, mid the yappings and the
squeaings and the whinnyings and roars. When he tried
to give Instructions to his helpers, Shem and Ham, some
old bull was raising %ruetions, s%crapping with the South
down ram. 1t is strange that Father Noah found an hour
in which to sleep while he steered his air cooled proa DER
ing and he heard hyenas Groom, and the mules were doubt
less %brayinng, all their voices out of tune; and the roost-
es did their Growing, just as though they were on land,
and the cows were bawling, lowing, in a style to beat the
band. Yet there is no record written that old Noah made
a scene, even when his leg was bitten by a NANCY wolver-
inc And if he could do his chOring with those critters
all around, have no excuse for roaring at a little vagrant
sound.

WAR BONDS AND GOOD TIMES.

eff the Fifth Liberty loan is sold to all the people, we
will have good times. If workers or buyers hold back and
force the loan upon the banks, we will have dull times"
This statement, made by the head of one Of the big
Victory loan committees, hits the nail on the head.
The reasoning is simple enough. The bonds will have
to be taken by somebOdy--the government has already
spent nearly all the money, and must have it to maintain
bills. If the people don't take the bonds, the banks will
have to take them. The banks can do it if necessary, but
that would tie up so much of their funds that they would
have little money left to advance to businessmen for pur-
poses of general industry and trade. Such a Tightening Of
credit would mean hard times.
Times are a little dull now, at least in some sections
of the country. Nobody wants them to grow any duller.
The way to assure good times is for everybody--rc and
poor and in between--to buy bonds as we bought them
when the war was at its height.

The house famine is becoming very acute in Salem.
Many antilles find it impossible to locate here because
there is no place for them to live. Possibly the quickest
and most feasible solution of the trouble would be the
building of more modern apartment houses. For a city
of its size Salem has very few apartments for rent at any
time.

of the late Portland publisher, H. L. Pittock, who left an
estate valued at nearly $S,0OO,0OO. And whether the will
is broken or not the lawyers and judges will see to it that
the estate is pretty generally distributed before they let
go. AS a method of distribution of large accumulations of
property litigation has the inheritance tax beaten beyond

ARAFAT AND THE LEAGUE.

Why not choose Mount Ararat, now the center of the
Armenian republic, as a seat for the League of Nations?
It's history is suggestive.
1t was on its summit that NOah's faithful dove dis
played that olive leaf, first emblem of peace returning to
a stOrm-toSsed world.
Upon its top the Ark with its motley crew came to
rest, and there begun the re-adjusting of family and po-
litical life, doubtless with many a sacrifice of individual
sovereignty for the sake of longevity.
Undoubtedly Ararat should be the seat Of the League.
Should Armenia become a mandating protege of America,
that would mean American jurisdiction for the League
capitalism honor which should appeal to every patriot.
And think of the joy of the anti-saloon league at such
a cOnsummatiOn! For has not Ararat come down to us
through all the ages, praised and remembered because
out Of all the submerged world, it alone was dry territory.

be engaged to do the work with the

way 1t can be controlled. since, living

ants Is to scald their hills with boil

pour little carbon disulphid into the
entrance to the hill and Immediately

Spraying with nicotine sulphate, how

found to be present, as they increase
very rapidly and unless checked soon
kill the plants.
