We are told that Austria and GER
tain of the smaller countries of En-
rope are starving for lack of bread
We are asked to loan s125. 900. 900 for
the immediate relief of these unfor-
tunate people.
Very good. We are Americans. and
Americans have. never vet failed to
succor a nation expiring from the
pangs of hunger.
If these suffering people need s125.-
100000 let US give it to them outright.
Let it be our contribution to the cause
of humanity and then let us forget it.
But let's have nothing to do with
a loan which we know can never be
repaid. It only becomes an object for
future friction.
But as to England and France.
London has recently repudiated Sir
George Paish, who has been trying to
float loan in this country of S35. O0O.-
100000 for the allies. It says Sir
George is not authorized to represent
the British government, nor yet the
British banking interests.
Exit Sir George and his rosy scheme.
We have no further interest in him.
1t is a well known fact, however.
that England and France are looking
to this country for the billions neces-
sary for their reconstruction. They
nay lie low until the present furry
Of opposition blows over, and then the
project will be preached.
But we have had enough of that
sort of thing. We have some ten bill
lions of dollars planted over there
now upon which it is doubtful if the
interest will ever sprout.
Even British people of prominence
are advocating the repudiating of all
obligations and the taking of fresh
start. 1t may be done.
We note from the cablegrams that
in London, Paris and other large CT
ties fabulous prices are being paid by
women for the latest creations in
gowns and other frippefy There seems
to be no limit to the money for this
purpose.
Again we note that the Marquis of
Queensbury has gone into bankruptcy
owing a paltry 5,OOO-because he
is too aristocratic and too lazy to
work. He is supported by relatives
and friends.
Foreign countries are full of the
same breed-all aristocratic, all too
lazy to earn living, but all willing to
blow in money.
Extravagant sums can be paid by
the population for any selfish purpose
because it contributes to their vanity
and their pleasure.
It is the same wherever the sun
shines.
If the French and English govern
ments want more billions, let them
go to the rich in their own countries.
If their own people haven't confidence
and patriotism enough to put up the
necessary amount, why should we A.
mericaps cough up again?
Let them open the money bags of
their rich, and then put their lazy
parasites to work. If the latter can
create anything of value we can pro-
badly buy it from them-and pay
for what We get.
That's business.
But digging down again for another
"loan" would be the heighth of jack
assery.
We believe with the Chinaman, that
it should be case of "no workee, no
eatee."

VALUE OF AN EDUCATION

1t sometimes seems that it would
be wise to have in our grammar
grades course on the value of an
education. If it were made really
practical and not merely theoretical
it would do no end of good Show the
youngsters just how they are really
going to profit by the much-hated
grammar and "readin', 'ritin' n 'rith-
metic." You know when you were a
boy how you hated to study and how
useless it all seemed. Then you
hated worse than all the men who
used to come and make speeches and
tell you all about how fortunate you
were to be able to get such a fine
education, how your grandfathers had
to go without such wonderful adj
vantages, ETC., etc, ad infinitum All
the time you were envying your lucky
grandfathers and wishing you could
get out and play ball.
If a practical course could be given
on this subject which had a lot of
interesting examples and Incidents in
it, it would be sure to gain the child's
attention since he would have to study
it. If he could once get thru his
Uranium the real value of all those
hated studies he would see them in
a different light and attack them with
renewed zeal.

There is a great deal said and writ
ten about the harm that gossips cause,
yet no one take it to heart because
no one considers himself gossip.
When the men see or hear anything
on the subject they let it slide off
their backs thinking that only women
are gossips. But let me tell you,
brother, that some of our men can
beat the women sixteen to one on that
score And, of course, no woman con-
siders herself a gossip. Oh yes. she
will tell you that Mrs. Brown next
door is a fearful gossip, yet she will
spend a whole afternoon with Mrs.
Brown and discuss the martial af-
fairs of the Green's which are said to
be tempestuous and the fact that
Sally Smiths young man caller stay
ed until fifteen minutes past twelve
on Sunday night, and-but human ma
ture is a queer thing.
The truth of the matter is, we are
all inclined to be more or less gossipy
but some have had more practice than
others. Hereafter, when you see or
hear something about a gossip don't
think it lets you out. And watch
your step on that score for of all the
detestable people a gossipy man and
woman are the worst And what you
say only reflects on yourself. If our
gossips who accuse our young people
of ,misdemeanors, had properly con
Quoted themselves when they We're
young they would not be so ready to
think of wrong doing in others.

NEWS PRINT HOGS

When you read the mammoth Sun
day edition of some large city daily
paper, do you ever pause to think that
the size of that edition is one. of the
leading factors in the shortage of
news print paper? It is quite so.
The publishers of many of these
big city dailies are greedy hogs.
! They know that it is extremely diff
ficult for the country press to secure
sufficient print paper with which to
put out their limited weekly editions.
They know that if the country pub
! Usher can not secure the necessary
paper stock he must go to the wall
Yet Sunday after Sunday they con-
tinue to issue editions so large that
it becomes a physical impossibility
to read them. Section after section
is placed in the Sunday papers that
contains nothing of news element,
and but little of any practical value
whatever. Usually it is composed
largely of sickening slush which a
schoolboy would be ashamed to faith
err. 1t is useless waste of material
which is already difficult to obtain. 1t
reminds one Of the hog that roots the
bucket over in its greedy effort to get
all of the slop.
Some of the city dailies have Sun
day calculations as high as four hun
dred thousand. One useless eight
page section omitted from such an
dition would furnish the news print
necessary for a weeks supply for at
least two hundred country newspapers.
One such section omitted from the
New York and Chicago Sunday papers
alone would supply over two thousand
country papers.
One section omitted from these pa
pers would hardly be missed. It
would create no hardship whatever.
The failure of two thousand country
papers to make their appearance on
press day would create furore.
The big daily newspapers would
have the people believe that the short
age of newsprint is due to under pro-
duction AS a matter of actual fact,
it is due in great part to the higgish-
ness of the Sunday dailies.
Congress may not realize it, but the
thousands and thousands of country
editors have their eyes glued on Wash
ington. They are waiting to see what
Washington is going to do about it.
Congress can aid the situation very
materially by placing reasonable
limit on the size of Sunday papers,
varying according to population.
This will not infringe upon the legi-
innate rights of the daily papers. 1t
will protect the rights of the country
press.
Already some country papers have
suspended publication because they
could not secure the paper necessary
to print their editions. In the face of
such conditions, to permit the daily
news print hog to continue his present
practice will infict incalculable dam
age upon the country press.
Week kneed officials prattle about
the situation working itself out. 1t
will not.
No hungry dog was ever know to
voluntarily surrender a juicy bone.
And the news print hog is even
greedier than the dog.

Something attempted, something
done,
Has earned nights repose."
Only the person who each day sets
for himself a definite task and ac-
complishes it can know the real sat
isfaction of that quotation. If you
want to find yourself satisfied with
life, set task for yourself each day
and then do it. When yon lay your
head on the pillow at night you will
feel you have earned your rest and
it will be much sweeter for the earn
ING.

What do you know about the lady
who spends $500 for a seat at an ex-
cellent concert, and then remarks
halfway thru the program that she
doesn't give a cent for that" 1t
may be a case of under education or
over-education, but whether it is or
not. the matter is worth an opinion
because the chances are that the van
ishing $500 may belong to you some
time, which rather spoils the joke.
