SEEING AMERICA.

few years ago some Americans interested in
promoting the scenic or resort attractions OF the
nation evolved the slogan "see America First"
That before the war interfered with the sum-
mer exodus Europe Aside from the 100000
soldiers and others who went abroad ION business"
for the last six years our people have been
PEELED to conhne whatever sightseeing they might
do to America. Thus the campaign calling atten-
ton to what there Is to see in our own land has
been greatly aided by force Of circumstances.
The bars against European travel have been low
cred but the facilities for carrying the many who
might wish 70 90 abroad are likely TO prove
fully inadequate. 1t is estimated that it is not
sibe for more than 10s 600 to obtain accommoda-
lions on transatlantic vessels during the coming
season These figures indicate that European hotel
keepers likely disappointed in the expected
influx OF Americans, FOR while the number is con
siderable it will make little impression when
tered over the lands which the tourists likely
20 seek.
In seeing America one is not necessarily con-
fined to the public facilities provided for travel 1t
IS possible to go far in ones own conveyance and
last year tens OF thousands wandered up and down
and in their own machines They went where
they pleased and when they pleased and many of
them carried their mp outfits and in
dependent OF hotels and other public entertainers

same contributes heavily Colorado and the

America First may have been prompted by those
interested In railroad travel. but the perfection at

When facilities are increased, Americans may
again seek Europe in greater numbers than
before. but they will least have possessed them

be better able appreciate the things to be seen
abroad since they already have seen America.

IN DARKEST AMERICA.

Tangier Island in Chesapeake bay has unique
claim to distinction though the point on which its
fame has but recently been made generally
known by tragedy that occurred there. Tangier
Island law compels attendance at church on Sunday
by all those who do not seclude themselves within
their homes. In contradstinction from many other
old laws which are permitted to remain as dead
letters this law has been enforced. Only through
attempted violation has this peculiar community
gained public notice
Non-attendance at religious service is considered
a disgrace Hence 1t is made a matter OF compuI-
sion EXCEPT to those who remain inside their homes
This remarkable ordinance Is to represent the
sincere sentiment Of the older folk OF the COM

principles. though the younger people feel that
church attendance should be a matter Of opinion

defenders OF the law contend that without It half
the congregation would collect around the store

church service.
Some viii have doubts whether the Tangier
Islanders sincere as they are are on the right
track. At least they have no imitators in all this
land. probably Certainly the unwilling attendant
would not receive benefit in the same degree as one
who goes voluntarily because he hores to be helped
by the service. CompulsIon has tendency to breed
perversi;y.

And though his drinking made us

To where all mortal ties must

And Uncle Jake took his so strong,
We felt he couldn't last forever.
Alas. for futile human hope!
Alas for ever-keen ambition
We fancied that We had the dope.
But who could count on prohibi-

Did Uncle Jake give DER the CAM

And grow to be q healthy man?
All, no! A far worse fate befell

He drinks as often as OF yore,
A quart is still his daily diet:
We sometimes fancy he takes more
Than in the days when one could

His appetite is undated;
And at two hundred bucks a case,
A fortune soon is dissipated.
Whenever he goes out 10 buy.

what the farmer really wanted done.
There were just three solutions to
the railroad situation. One thing that
could be done Was to continue opcIai-
ing and owning them by the govt IN
ment. Another way to solve the diff
Guilty was to operate them under tho
so-called Plumb plan. The third way
was to turn them back to private own
ership under government regulations.
The latter solution was the one that
Mr.. Howard found that the American
farmer to be in favor OF, and how did
he find il so!
Before daring TO speak on the prop
osition he sent kilograms to all
state farm bureau declarations asking
them how their farmers stood on these
three solutions Of the railroad tangle.
The answers he received were unani-
mously in favor of the third way
enumerated above, that is, private
ownership under government regula-
ton. So that the president Of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
Mr.. Howard, did not spea kat random
or by mere guess, but spoke after
thorough investigation Of the case,
and after hearing from the farm bu-
reau members in all the states.
This is the kind of representation
that the American farmer has been
looking for for some time, and this ID
what he is now getting under the
