THE OLD JOB

WHEN Autumn comes, with soothing sighs, I
grow so tired of swatting fes which light upon my
roof! Through all the weary months since spring
I've swatted flies upon the wing, and also the hoof.
When spring arrives, all fresh and young, and first
the call to is sprung, swat the flies with gee;
l thak it goodly exercise to chase and execute the
flies, but now it wearies me. Throughout the balmy
days of May take my swatting stick and say, with
fierce and ardent hand; and when the bloom in
June my Berserk song weirdly Groom, and swat to
beat the band And in the heat of mid-July, I'm on
the spoor of every fly that still remains unslan; and
August finds me- stern and grim still rending buzzers
limb from limb, though bent beneath the strain. But
when the mild September comes, the pesky fly and all
his chums may roost on wall and floor; though have
slain ten billion fies the CHASTITY truth recognize
there ten billions You've heard about that
tabled gun who rolled a stone that weighed a ton up
hill forevermore; useful purpose he achieved and
that's why he was panied and peeved, and why his
head was sore. No man enjoys his work on earth
unless he gets his labors worth in other guise
to roll boulder up hill until ones feet get tired and
chill, is much like swatting flies

NEVER AGAIN

IT was not altogether unnatural that the mem
bers OF the American Legion should have seemed
disposed to neglect universal military training as
part OF their program and purpose
The most recent recOllectiOns of armv men will
hardly nourish in them abiding affection for army
life Their vivid retrospects will not be pleasant ones
They will feel like men who have lately recovered
from lingering disease
And it is not so much the thought of dangers
faced and hardships undergone that paints SOM
bre color the picture 1t is the deadly monotony
of the daily routine and the more trivial grievances
such unpalatable meals, illcooked food bad Sleep
ing quarters, and the like.
And one thing even worse. The misery of being
everlastingly "bossed," without the dviney sweet
alienation of being able to claw back" which every
laborer enjoys, who does not mind being fired-and
few of us do. Most of the army men were, neces-
sarlly, privateS or nOn-coms; and who has
gone through continuous hectoring-very often from
Junior officers whose mental equipment was, all
things included inferior to his own, has little
thusiasm for making military training universal
Now that the flag waving and band-playing are
over, getting cold facts instead of sentiment
and hysteria: and we know that conditions in the
army were bad Our private soldiers do not whine,
but when ask them for the plain truth can get
it. The food was often unhealthy, even in training
camps Hospital facilities were in many cases, far
from adequate. Many officers only half-train-
ed and, like most incompetent men in authority, in
clned to substitute petty tyranny for the leadership
which real efficiency guarantees.
$50 the members of the Legion do not wax Jealous
over universal military training.
But they overlook vital fact. All the evils of
which they complain caused by lack of that
very preparation which they countenance. If
we had been ready, officers would have been fully
trained ratiOns would have been efficiently handled
and distributed hospital facilities woul have been
ample Considering our unreadiness, did remark

WHERE THE MONEY WENT

THE American Cooperative Journal is holding
meetings to discuss agricultural matters. The sub
ject billed for tic first meeting collective Bar
gaining for Farmers And the news has drawn loud
and angry outcy from the protagonsts of the class
called the CONSUMERS" They complain that they
will be crushed between organized labor the one
side, and farmers trust the other The farmers
they lament will be the most dangerous kind of prof
teer.
Wel keep your shirt on. Let us look into this
thing.
A michigan farmer lately shipped to the city two
bushels of early apples which sold for $11O per BUSH
el-total $2.20 for the load His expenses were bas
kets 40 cents labor and spraying 20 cents; freight
and Grating, Sc cents commission, 22 cents. His
profit was 80 cents. The retail price can of course
only guess, as he was through when he reached the
commission agent. But it is we'll that the city where
he sold his apples nearby, so that the freight
and Grating could be kept down to Sc cents. His
original investment is, of course, neglected.
We can hardly blame the farmers for wanting to
federate.

THE police in many communities are giving a
good report of prohibition. There is notable de-
crease in crimes of certain kinds. Disordery hood
lums grow scarcer; wife-beaters dminish cases of
cruelty to children are fewer.
But the need of caution is not gone. Prohibition
is national confession that cannot be trusted to
control our appetites. We behave better with light

But we have appetites to which alcohol never min

the license was issued just as the

THE President again visited the
Senate on Monday to urge speedy con-
sideration Of the treaty Of peace, ex-
planning the Importance of action on
this document. The Republican ma
jority is delaying and dilly-dallying
with the hope of embarrassing the
President and lessening his influence
with foreign powers and at the same
time gaining partisan advantage for
themselves.
There is very little honest difference
of opinion in regard to the treaty of
peace. The opposition to it comes
principally from Republican leaders
who would prevent the President and
his administration from gaining any
credit for a satisfactory ending Of the
matter and from personal enemies in
his own party and out of il who will 60
to any length to embarraSs or obstruct
or humiliate him.
Our West Virginia Senators talk
very wisely Of their objections to the
treaty and the league of nations, but it
IS merely camouhage and in response
to the party whip.
