WHY ARE THEY o

When the United States govern
ment shipped a load of alien Boil
sheviks, anarchists and similar ilk
to Russia the other day, we all i'm
agined that they must have been a
happy, well-pleased lot.
If what they preached is true,
this country is a mighty bad place in
which to live. Our government is a
despotism. Our people are starved,
oppressed and enslayed by capital.
Nothing good comes to the vast ma
jority in this land Of gloom and tyr
amy. And here they were-these
Bolsheviks and fiery-tongued orators
going away, far away from all
these things. More, they were going
to Russia, the paradise of their ora
tions. Still more, their pockets vert
stuffed with the money their easy
working jaws had brought them.
Were they happy They were
not. They were the most down-in-
the-mouth steamerful of passengers
that ever left New York. Most of
them we're just about ready to burst
into tears.
We can't understand this.
But wait! Maybe that shipload
of gloom was because the voyagers

The above is an apt Illustration of
the n~ews-print situation as it exists
today. And it has all been H(sught
about through a piece of legislation
known as the excess profits law.
This law is designed to bring rev.
enue into the United States treas
ury, but it does not work out that
way, and it does ultimately, hurt the
country newspapers. You ask why.
Because newsprint is becoming
scarce and the scarcity is brought a.
bout through the increasing demand
of the big city papers for more print

paper. More advertising space is
being bought by the large corpora
tions. OF the millions of dollars be-
ing carried on in national advertis-
ing campaigns at the present time,
from 60 to so per zen of the amount
would go into Uncle Sans Golfers
as excess profits, were it not so ex-
pended.
The enormous amount of advertis-
ing has caused the metropolitan pa
pers TO increase the size and num-
Der of their pages and the demand
for %newsprint, has, as a conse-
quence, become serious. The coun-

HIGH HEELED SHOES

Every physician, every nurse,
every Psychologist, every scientist,
who discusses the subject, condemns
styles of women's footwear. Amer
lean women can no longer pity the
poor female a~ristocracy Of China,
who deformed the childish feet
The situation in this land of suppos-
ed intelligence is nearly as bad.
Women are poking their toes into
pointed shoes and elevating their
heels upon wooden pegs, just to O.
hey fashion.
The result is injured health, AM
sure and ample bills of the doctor,
in the end. The first trouble comes
in corns and callouses, then possible
bunions. Then the back weakens.
Then internal troubles manifest
themselves. The medical world is
attributing an appalingly high per-
centage of female illness to the ab-
ominable high heels.
If the women have not strength of
character sufficient to stop the ruin
which confronts them, the legisla-
ture of the several states will act as
a matter of future generations

wrong leaders. First, Germany
went into the valley Of death in blind
faith in a false leader. Then Russia
was swept into chaos by following
the bloody path of purposeless rev.
olution led on by upstairs whose
shallow minds could not foresee tina,
in the end they could face nothing
but disaster. In the same way small
er groups within all countries are
now surging on after the cheering
anil ~flag-waving radicals who can
thrive and exist only in a season of
hot-headedness, far removed from
clear and sober thinking. And this
wave of upheaval has not stopped
short of the basic group in society,
the people on the land.
WHO expresses the real agricul-
tural thought and INTEREST,"" is a
question heard on every side, not on
ly among government officials, Con-
gressmen and business men, but al
so among groups of farmers them
selves. The mere fact that the queS-
ton is asked shows that there is
widespread doubt in the sincerity
and ability of the recognized leaders
of the present moment. A decided
lack Of confidence in those who have
been the recognized spokesman for
farmers in the past demands that a
new vote must be taken to reestab-
lish them or replace them.-Coun-
