THOMAS A, FRY.

The transportation problem is thing we all
must meet, with private yacht or motor car,
with jitney bus or feet. The locomotive plant
with which we first were fitted out is full of
little bunons, corns, ingrowing nails and gout.
The citizen who has a foot upon his neither
limb must exercise eternal care in keeping it in
TRIM
But whether people keep their feet to look
at or to use, the members need to be encased
in noble, honest shoes, which will not suddenly
dissolve into flock of holes and let the au-
tumn rainfall gain admission through the soles;
and if you seek utility, or pleasure for the eye,
you're glad to get the services of Mr.. Thomas
Fry.
Whatever are your private predictions,
likes or views whatever are the purposes for
which you purchase shoes the aim of Thomas
Fry is to preserve your feet and taste, to keep
your conversation full of language pure and
chaste, instead of giving you cause to ham
mer kick and fuss, to illuminate, vociferate, re-
calctrate and cuss.
He used to sell the strings of fish brought

Governments Contract With Farmers.

The Gronna bill to abolish the United States
Grain corporation is in effect a reputation of
a contract made by the government with the
farmers. Under its terms, the selling price of
the wheat crop of 1919 will not be permitted
to fall below basic rate Of $2.l0 per bushel.
1t does not contemplate the purchase of the
crop at that figure, for the corporation has per-
mitted the sale of wheat at prices considerable
above the minimum rate fixed by law. The
operations of the grain corporation have had the
effect of stabizing the entire grain industry to
a degree not otherwise obtainable
Senator Gronna, however, has from the first
persistenty held to the view that the traffic
should be unrestricted. This opinion on his
part contemplates only that for the three years
last past the price of wheat might have been,
through clever manipulation, maintained at such
a figure as would have worked untold hardship
on all the world. When the president inter-
vened in April, 1917, the speculative movement
owing to purchases by England and France.
had showed the selling price we'll above $3, and
prophecies of $40 were freely made. This wild
prohteering was checked by the government
Now no reason exists for thinking that such
condition could again be produced. On the
contrary, signs and portents clearly indicate
the possibility of wheat prices going below the
minimum fixed by the government. To abolish
the grain corporation and remove all control
might expose the farmer to tremendous loss as
well as disrupt the entire industry.
Aside from these considerations, the law un-
der which the control is exercised is solemn
contract between the government and the
wheat growers, mers, jobbers and bakers. 1t
affects not only those of America, but those of
the world at large. Even were it possible that
by absence of government control the price of
wheat could be sent soaring again, it is abhor-
rent to think that the United States would be
party to any such oppression of the hungry
who are dependent on us for food. The Gronna
bill is bad, no matter how it is viewed

Trading With Soviet Russia.

Difficulties are arising that may hinder if
they do not entirely block the plans to open
trade with soviet Russia. The Scandinavian
countries have refused to enter into any sort
Of arrangements for resumng commercial re-
lations with the red government until it recants
the reputation of the Russian national debt, at
least with regard to that part owed to Scandina-
Vans In France some complications have come
up because of the close connection between the
cooperative societies, which the French could
do business with, and the soviets. Almost
$2,0000 100000 of the Russian debt is owed to
the French, whose savings were put into bonds
issued by the cars government 1t will not
be easy to reconcile the losers to the thought
of friendly trading relations with those who are
directly responsible for the loss. Argument is
put forth that we had commercial relations with
Russia under the czar, whose politics and
policies we detested, and it therefore would in
volve little more to trade with the reds. Ad-
mitting the force Of this, the nescapable fact is
that the czar paid his bills, and did not try by
reputation to evade debts contracted in the
name Of Russia Until Leninc, Trotzky & Co.
are ready to assume the obligations inherited
from the government. they upset, at least the
external debt of Russia, they are not likely to

American Rice

One of the lessons which the strenuous task
of getting something to eat without spending
more than they has taught the American
people is that rice is vegetable rather than a
dessert, and that it is staple American pro-
duct. The conditions of war have made this
more than ever true. We can raise excellent
rice in our southern areas, and we do raise
enough of it so that in 10 months of last year
we sent 282000000 pounds to other countries
This compares with 26,420,000 sent in 10 months
of 1918 And what our growers received for
what they sent out last year was SIS, $4,000,
as compared with $833,000 received for the
amount mentioned in 1918.
This is another illuminating example of the
development of formerly neglected opportun-
ties in American farming, particularly in the
South. The acreage of rice in 1904 was 6o2-
900. In 1918 this had increased to 1,113000 and
number of bushels raised in 1904 was 21096-
900. In 1918 it was 40,424000, and last year a
round 100000 bushels.-Hartford Times.

On the Wrong Scent

Every month for the last six months we have
had statements from Attorney General Palmer
promising reduction in the cost of living through
his prosecuting the prohteers. But when phe-
nomenon is worldwide a government official
isn't going to get very far by attacking few
prohteers.
The results Of the attorney generals cam.
paign have been, not to reduce the cost of living
but to lead people off on the wrong scent. His
pronuncamentoes have helped spread the belief
that there is cuprit, the prohteer. Get him
and all will be WELL That is the inference from
Mr. Palmer's statements.
That sort of thing is foolishness There is
prohteering, which ought to be stopped. But
conditions won't improve until there is larger
production and less waste.
If Robinson Crusoe and Friday on the desert
island can catch four fish and gather eight bs-
mana: in the course Of day, they will have a
certain standard Of living with two fish and four
days work. The food supply for the day will
be diminished. The same thing will happen if
they get up an appetite for grapefruit, which
isn't so nourshing as fish or bananas, and
spend good share of the day producing a
grapefruit. This may reduce the fish and
banana output so each of them will have half a
grapefruit, one FISH and one banana. That is,
so much labor may be devoted to frills that the
output Of substantial things may be cut
In the long run our well-being here in Amer
ica will depend on the way we work, and the
wisdom with which that work is directed into
useful channels. That doesn't suggest nearly so
attractive 4 program as that of Attorney Cen
eral Palmer, who will work miracles by chasing
the prohteers. But il 10 q program that will

times she is spotted with round
black spots; then she is called
Spotted Lynx. But she is found in
all parts of the United States and
in Canada and apparently belongs
to the same species whether spotted
or mottled.
Larger Than Tabby.
Tabby of the wild is larger than
her cousin who lives with you.
Measure your cat from nose to tail
and find the difference. Thirty-one
inches is the average length of
wildcat, and her tail is from FIVE to
seven inches. From ground to
shoulder, she measures 18 inches
and she weighs about IS pounds.
Her Good Looks.
The face of the wildcat is hand
some and it shows how nearly re-
lated she is to your own tabby, but
occasionally a sign of the wild ap-
pears in the little, pointed tufts of
hair at the tip of her ears like those
OF near relative OF hers, the Can
ada Lynx. who, however, wears
longer and more marked "ear-pen-
cils."
But is 'Fraid Cat.
She is something of coward and
exceedingly shy, SO you need not be
afraid if you happen to meet her.
She will get out of your way very
quickly, must faster than is desir-
able if you are anxious to see her.
But while she does not attack hu-
mans and is as much afraid of dogs
as any other cat, she has been
known to kill lambs and rabbits and
game birds. Nobody seems to love
the backwoods tabby and hunters
are allowed to shoot and trap her at
pleasure. They want her fur, you
see.

He Wants Wood,

Superior, Neb.. Jan. 80. 1920.-To
the Editor of the Bee: l see some
people are for one man. and some
for somebody else. l am for Wood
as the best man out yet. He has
the experience and the ability over
any-and in view of the fact that he
was the man entitled to go across at
the head of the American army, but
because he was republican and
wouldn't smother his politics and
play pig or puppy, he was snubbed
by Wilson & Co. after he had gone
to work and organized the best di-
vision of the best soldiers that were
ever gotten together, was insulted on
every chance they got. Besides, his
came square out on the republican
ticket without any tales. too. My
opinion of man that comes out in
dependent is that he does it to carry
water on both shoulders and draw
votes from both republican and
democratic parties and has no
settled political home. If a man has
no settled politics he is a very dan
gerous man. When l hearl a man
say, II am independent" If he is a
professed republican, ] say, good
by. young fellow. You are on your
road to the democratic party" II
democrat, I say. come on, young
fellow, we will take you on proba-
tion."
I want to say that of all the old
GA. r. men in this part of the state
and in Colorado and over in Idaho,
they are all for Wood except one,
and he Is democrat. He said, 1--WE
haven't any candidate out. and !
guess we won't have" If General
Wood had been allowed to go over
the top he, in my opinion, would
have distinguished himself and
would have been the greatest gen
eral in the world today.
I am not independent. I am
bound hand and foot to the princi-
pies of the republican party as enun-
ciated by Lincoln, Mckinley, Taft
and Hughes, and carried as far as

We used to play a game which
would begin: How many ways can
man go across the street,? In
turn we would say: He tottered
across" He loitered across" He
staggered across" HE rushed
across" till no one was left who
could supply a new verb. Some
of us remember in later years, that
each of these verbs made different
picture, and that verbs of vivid
meaning gave ones writing force.
When James was IA, he showed
me a note book, in which he had
made list of various substitutes,
for instance, "he said, he muttered,
he growled, he insisted, he exclaim-
ed" James wanted to become a
writer, and he observed that one
difference between monotonous
style and an effective one lay in va
riety of vocabulary. Margaret, also,
had book in which she used to
note every new word that she
heard. Two or three years after
wards, she was writing verse of real
beauty, especitlly characterized by
her love for strange, beautiful
words.
But it is not only boys and girls
who intend to make themselves

able to command the language

this power he must read authors of
