We heard a doubling democrat"
say on the streets the other day he'd
bet the democrats did not win in the
coming election. why" asked we.
Because" said he, "the democrats
have not, although the war has been
over for two years, taken away from
the president the immense power
given him during the war" Poor fell
low, he did not know that the repub-
licans, to a man, including Senator
Lodge and Hi Johnson and Senator
Harding voted to give him that power.
He did not know that, although the
republicans have been in power for
two years. in both senate and house,
they have not taken or tried to take
that power from the president.
Heard another Democrat" say the
democratic party had been in power
for eight years and had not stopped
profiteering. We reminded him that
profiteering had not been going on
for eight years, and that, since the
war and since armistice, the republi-
cans in power had passed no reme-
dial law. We can't help but feel sor-
ny for some people. We know both
these democratic" prophets and we
take comfort in the fact that we never
knew either of them to guess right
yet.-Gainesville Sun.

New Census System Needed.

The nation needs a new system of
census taking that will expediate the
process and make available to the
public results Of the enumeration be-
fore the figures are classifiable as an
Gent history. That the present GEN.
sus law, passed more than century
ago, is obsolete and no longer pro-
vides the means for obtaining infor-
nation about population and re-
sources for which it was originally
intended, has been demonstrated by
1920 census taking.
Little of interest to the average
citizen is contained in the figures.
The inquiry appears to be broad
enough to provide much information,
but it is so far in the past when tab
ulatde that it has slight value either
to the nation or individuals. That
the census scope includes SO wide
field may be the reason it takes so
long to get the facts to the public.

KENTUCKY POOLS
WOOL, LEXINGTON
New, Idea of Selling Wool For
The Entire State. State Auc-
ton To Be Held.

Lexington, Ky, June 1s, 1920. The
Department of Markets, of the Col
lege of Agriculture, originated the
plan of pooling all the wool in the
State into one large central pool. The
popularity of this idea is we'll demon
strated by the fact that applications
have been made for wool growers
from Ohio and Indiana to have their
wool in this sale. This State Auction
will be held in a tobacco warehouse
in Lexington, June 2sth. Some thirty
or more counties in the State have
pooled their wool which is being
graded by expert graders using the
samples will be submitted from each
county at the cenrtal auction and
there the buyers will have the privil-
eye of bidding on about 100000
pounds of Kentucky's wool.

Once upon a time there was a fam
lily of Giants who lived in the land of
Let's Pretend, and they had a young
son who was not afraid of anything.
He was so strong that he could
was so plucky that he did not mind
in the least when the other people
laughed at him because he had a
dwarf for his very best friend.
No one could understand why the
giant-boy loved the dwarf who lived
in the woods, for he was rather a
grasping, disagreeable little fellow.
But the giant-boy used to look for the
dwarf almost every day, creeping
carefully through the woods on his
hands and knees, hunting for him.
\ When he found the dwarf, the giant
boy would set him on the tip of his
little finger and run witt him over
the hills and back again. 1T was like
the steeple-chase for the dwarf Or
the gaint-boy would put him on a
leaf and blow him way up in the air,
catching him safely when he drifted
down 1t was like a ride in an air
ship for the dwarf
When the giant-boy was ten years
old, il was time, according to the
custom of the country, for him to go
out and test his courage and If he
came home as brave as he started,
his gaint-father would give him a
beautiful wooded mountain to be his
inheritance. His Grandmother gave
him several bushels of apples and FIVE
hundred sandwiches and a barrel of
milk to carry with him, and she told
him that when these were gone, the
gaints along the way would be glad
y give him food and shelter.
So the giant-boy started out with
his heart full OF courage, but he had

1t was only few years ago that
Friend Jim remarked one day, Take
this beer from him and you will have
a changed laborihg man, one who will
prove a most complex problem. The
laboring man now washes away fati-
que, dissatisfaction and sorrow in a
can of suds 1t is his liquid solace,
without it he will become restless,
dissatisfied and unmanageable He will
awaken to the fact that he and his
family lack food, clothing and lux
uries others possess. He will awaken
to his position in society and will
demand his share of the better things
of life. In this inhammable state of
mind against employer, capital and
church, he will prove himself suscep-
tible to the ghiles of the agitator and
make excellent material for the radi-
cal socialist"

seemed far fetched but past events
