! The barber over at the Jefferson
hotel who shaved us the other day
remarked that it is not the future
that creates inspiration at all. He
said that Inspiration always comes
through memory.
This information was impaired dur
ing a dialogue regarding the prohibit
tion law. the barber maintaining that
somebody, through memories Of the
past. would have an inventive in
spiration. He said that once he met
man who was on his way TO Daw-
son City. Alaska.
The barber said that the man he
met was a whisky salesman. and that
he had with him samples OF concen-
trated liquor. This concentrated
| liquor was contained in numerous
small Walls, and was intended to
supply the Dawson City demand for
many moons.
According TO the BARRIERS dis
course, the salesman allowed him to
| Try some OF this concentrated booze.
and IL proved very satisfactory. The
salesman put a few drops Of the con-
sentrated stuff in the usual sized
drinking glass, and right away there
was created a sufficiently strong
liquor to have all the desired results
The point the barber was making
was that after the nation goes dry
and the authorities are hot on the
| trail OF all manner of bootleggers
someone will invent some sort of a
concentrated liquor that will satisfy
the cravings of those who do not feel
able to abide by the intent OF the
dry law.
In fact. the barber suggested that
small pill like formula be adopted.
/ That is, the liquor should be made
into some substance that will allow
it TO be rolled into small pills for
easy vest pocket carrying
The barber pointed out how easy
il would be for man 10 drop a pill
in his mouth, step up TO some con-
venient drinking fountain. take in
sufficient quantity OF water. and then

fortunately the barber finished his

could gather all the details of the
theory. Later on, however. we may

The Sianinq of the Treaty

That the Germans would sign the peace treaty at last inevitable If they had finally refused to do 50 would have been proof of nation gone crazy. Though the terms were severe beyond precedent the crime which Germany had committed without precedent either to the cold bloodedness or com prehensiveness of it. The punishment had to be made fit it. It may be regretted that it should fall upon many who innocent but it was neces- sary as a deterrent No ambitious ruler in a thous- and years will contemplate a repetition of Ger manys offense without a sobering recollection of Germany's fate
 The actual signing of the treaty is not in itself a matter of importance. The importance had been discounted from the very beginning. It was as cer- tain as Christmas, the procession of the And it would perhaps have made little difference to anybody outside of Germany if Germany had not signed. Surely it could have made no appreciable difference to us We have heard here and there that with peace will come a settlement of affairs that would know where we stood and could then go for ward. But we have heard no explain in what way Germany's action could affect us
 We may not have known where we stood; prob Ably we did not for we standing, but going forward, gaining momentum all the while the gen. aemen Paris supposed the world in a state of suspension
 There will be change that any of us will notice in consequence of the signing of the treaty, beyond 9he relaxation of government interference which since inc armistice has been annoying and irritating, but hot positively hndering. Though the red tape is still there, somewhat encumberng, and foolish it is longer binding We suppose the gallant war workers" who have been heroically clnging their desks and jobs with the persistence with which the boy remained on the burning deck, will be pried loose and the last vesges in America of the will disappear. It cannot all happen but business will go on just the booming louder and louder. Not because the peace treaty signed but in dis regard of it.
 All we need is for congress and the admnistra- ton to get the way, keep off the track but to stand in readiness to help whenever their help may be needed But for the present. we are getting along pretty we'll.

A BABY REACHING FOR THE SMOKE

Your gray eyes dance with ecstasy.
 A cooing chucke lifts and purls And rose soft fingers laughingly
 Crepe, the slow smoke coils and curls Out of my pipe spiral mist
 You reach and close on, gay with hope That in your tiny tight-locked fist It will stay captive. Still you grope. And still it slips, dissolves eludes
 To feathery nothingness-and a Pillar of grayness slowly broods
 Up from the pipes bowl. teasing you. If once those rose-soft fingers turn
 And find solid goal they gain Only the soiling pipe to burn
 With reckoning memories of pain Endlessly so. strain and grope
 To reach coiling curling wrath That circles near-dissolving hope,
 Elusive truth. slipping faith. And if too eagerly yearn
 To touch the soul of things that are, We find the touch will soil and burn
 And that it's memory is-a From "The Earth Turns South" by Clement Wood (E. P Dutton & Co)

 Just then the cement wall in front of Certeis swung away from him and through an arched opening between the pillars which supported the cellar roof, I saw a small printing press. How I hoped that Tommy could glimpse the scene from some obliging slit in his own box. From a corner outside of my field of vision, Hamilton Certeis brought a bundle of leaflets and as he glanced over the top sheets. knew that I had discovered the very heart of the Bol- shevik propa ganda in the town. And Tommy knew, as well as I did, that printing which is done for honest pur- i poses need not be run off in secret 1 cellars.
 Trust Tommy was the comfort offered my much tried nerves Presently Certeis shut up his print l shop cut off his lights, and turned into i the outer passage.
 Immediately something moved swift  l ly, noiselessly past me like a stealthy animal stalking its prey. A command was muttered close to me:
 Keep still"
 It was Tommy-I knew by the un- even steps. Trust Tommy" I re peated under my breath. And then-s body fell heavily in the dark passag, just outside the door,
 But the fallen man had not gon down to stay. 1 heard the pushing ant scraping of unwilling feet, and the hor rid spat of flesh on flesh. I had neve heard men fight before. This comba in the dark sent me into an incontrol lable shiver. The men surged up ant down the narrow tunnel. At length body fell with a thud which made m feel quite sick.

There not neces- tarly anything dsloya in that; it expression of indignation which may have resulted in part but not wholly from misapprehension.
 A great many people believed in the conscrption Of wealth as well of bone muscle, blood and brain. And there was such conscription of wealth far as it was possible effect it-through the income and excess profits taxes. That far as the government could go without changing the consttu- ton.
 It was not true that all wealth was stacker. Much of it was patriotic and comparatively little of it was positively disloyal The most of the dis loyal wealth was interned confscated.
