RIPPLING RHYMES.

DIR WANDERING BOY.

Since nations ceased their throw
ing fits, their hands In blood inn

and wonder what he's doing. They
bring me news of old Ex Bill, from
DER the briny biilows, he's in the
woods, already still, a-whacking
elms and willows; the sycamore he
roundly hits and saws it with emo
tion; but not a word of Eitel Fritz
comes DER the oozy ocean. Oh,
Eitel Fritz, in olden times, you
made me rather weary; you were
embalmed in German rhymes and
German legends beery. The favorite
of men and danes, you spent your
lifetime maying, with gIee pur-
sued your giddy games, before
the 4andstand playing. OF all good
bets you were the best, one issue
that was vital; and now we hear of
all the rest, but not word of
Eitel. The Kronprinz Willyum on
his isle cuts up some dismal capers,
and now and then, with sickly smile,
speaks pieces for the papers. We
hear Of divers busted dukes, and
skates of prineely title, and Hin
denburg and other flukes, but not a
word of Eitel, Oh, Eitel Fritz, YOU
giddy boy, once sassy, vain and
bossy, does life still seem round OF
Joy, or is it total-lossys

Canada frigidly exclusive. and Mexico not as open

There remains the United States, with its i'm
migration policy crystallizing into more exclusive
molds than ever before, and the whole issue of a
seective process for the future population OF the
country bound to be fercely fought over in Con-
gress.
Interest in this most fundamental domestic
policy is bound to be increased by the statement OF
the Federal commissioner of immigration stationed
at Ellis Island that he has to believe tina,
during the next ten years at least 100000 persons
from Europe plan to enter this country by legiti'
mate or illegitimate means, the latter not being
open to any doubt, since he already has evidence
that the national and local authorities of certain
European countries already in league with

an equal amount of careless talk, especially among
persons with penchant for throwing mud at re-
lgon in general and the noneonformist type of it
in particular.
Secondly, recognition as general and enthusias-
tic as the Pilgrim tercentenary celebration has
shown, aids in establishing a, habit of reverence
among our people, which moral quality is not as
common as it should be. We are too conteu,-
poraneous. We make new idols each decade, and
then wonder why there is so little unity of spirit
in the midst of infinite diversity of sects, cults
and "followngs" 81
Emphasis on the Pilgrim way of thinking and
living also comes opportunely at the present time,
because of the intimate relation there was between
religion, ethics and statecraft in the compact they
drew up in the Mayhower's cabin. They were not
wholly without economic motives in venturing
across the sea- But their determination" was not
of the economic type, and their chief motive was
commonwealth that posted Deity. recognition OF
His authority, and such fraternaf conduct as the
Gospels taught. Enthusiastically they were later
overborne by Puritan settlers and the Puritan ideal
rigid, exclusive and legalistic than theirs;
but time has had her revenge, and the descendants
of the Pilgrims today maintain type of church
in which the Mathers would face excommunicaton.
The Pilgrim colony of Plymouth was more for
tunate than the Salem colony of Puritans in that
it had statesman, William Bradford, who also was
chronicer. His journal, once stolen by the Brit
ish but returned by Mande Creighton, Bishop of
London, in the days of Thomas F. Bayard's Ambas-
sadorship, is now the priceless possession of Mas

SAYS RESERVE SYTEM
Is PANIC SAFEGUARD

Panics of any kind result from
emotion and overpowering thought
There is no reasoning with them,
but the basis OF the fear that pro-
notes them may be taken away.
Making more exits and marking
them, as well as instructing the
people what to do in the case OF
fire has taken much OF the danger
OF panic out of the theater.
Following the same thought
says w. p. G. Harding. head of the
Federal Reserve System, in the De-
Icember issue of System. "the coun-
try established the Federal Reserve
banks, which not only permit the
people to get out in the case Of a
financial fire, but what is more i'm
portant, show them beforehand that
there are plenty OF exits, whatever
the emergency, and hence no one
needs try. to climb out over the
back of his neighbor.
Although something might hap
pen which would cause a few people
to lose their heads. not enough
could possibly become so excited TO
forget that there were ready exists.
and hence the danger OF another
financial panic In this country is so
small as to be negligible"

13 POUNDS OF SUGAR
SAVED IN ONE DAY

'Tnnumerable sources of losses in
restaurants and cafeterias grow
even beyond the imagination OF
those in charge. The experience of
one lunch room manager, who
changed her method of serving
sugar, bears out this statement" as
told by r. v. Williams in December

1T had previously been the Gus
tom to have a sugar container on
each table In fhe cafeteria. Inspec-
tion of the soiled dishes-especially
the coffee cups--after the meal dis
closed that pounds Of sugar were
being wasted every day. To STOP
this leak the manager placed two
Of the containers on the counter
where the trays are checked and
withdrew all of them from the
tables. Contrary to expectations,
this did not hold up the line in the
least, because the lunchers could se-
cure the sugar while the tray was
being checked. And a. for results:

Now Jephthah the Gileadite was

2 And Gilesd's wife bare him
sons; and his wife's sons grew up,
and they thrust out Jephthah, and
said unto him. Thou shalt not in
herit in our fathers house, for thou
art the son OF a strange woman.
Then Jephthah fled from his
brethren. and dwelt in the land OF
Tob: and there were gathered vain
men to Jephthah, and went out with
him.
And it came to pass in pro-
cess of time, that the children Of
Ammon made war against Israel.
S And it was so, that when the
children of Ammon made war
against Israel, the elders of Gilead
went 10 IetCn Jtpnbhdu O0I VI Nhe

Z And Jephthah said unto the

me. and expel me out of my fathers
house? and why are ye come unto
me now when ye are in distress?
And the elders of Gilead said
unto Jephthan, Therefore We turn
again to thee now, that thou may
est go with us, and fight against

deliver them before me. shall i be

10 And the elders of GIlead said
unto Jephthah, The Lord be witness
between us, il We do not so accord

IL Then Jephthah went with the
elders of Gilead. and the people
made him head and captain over
them: and Jephthah uttered all his
words before the Lord in Mizpeh.

When paeans of thanksgiving will

When men and women of all creeds

VIII give thanks to the Lord that
they live in the U. s. A.

cause HIS crops are gathered in.

because II is the season
When they can charge just what
they please and never give q

The Merchant and his personnel of

Are thankful for the slogan:

Early"
The postman who brings you your
mail in weather mild or murky
Is thankful for the one day he
can stay home and eat turkey.
The little wife you left at home in
attitude most sainted
Is thankful for the chance she'll
have to once more get &C

The kiddies Uf you have any), will

And be thankful because they're
kids and it's Thanksgiving Day.
And people in all walks Of life, nc
matter what their stations,
Are thankful that they'll hear no

The government clerks are thank

They can't buy turkey with their

But all things come to him who
