ployment of alien and inexperienced d
painters on Shipping Board vessels at

THE DEMOCRATIC ADVOCATE DECEMBER d. 1920

He was summoned before Gen.
Grant, who arraigned him for his con-
duct, and gave him his choice of
swearing allegiance to the Union or
going to a Northern prison. After
considering the matter for time the
young fellow decided to swear allegi-
ance to the Union. He took the oatn
and was then dismissed. He started
away, but stopped as he reached the
door.
Say" he said.
We'll" said Grant, as he turned in
differently from the desk, having dis
missed the matter from his mind
ct was just thinking the young
rebel replied, "they sure did give us
hell at Chickamauga."

Automatic Letter Distributor.

We have seen letters post-marked by
a machine propelled by electricity,
but the Letter Distributor" must be
a wonderful piece of mechanism by
the following description: This Won
derful machine saves great deal of
time and labor in distributing mail. 1t
is Is feet long, and. is Worked from a
Keyboard similar to that of a Limo
type. The operator simply presses the
key bearing the name of the city where
the letter is to go, and the envelope is
whisked away, shot here and there
until certain combination of metal
parts releases it and it drops into the
box marked for that city. This ma
chine has capacity of 236 different
cities.

q. S. As a Peacemaker.

The people of Armenia are looking
To America for help in pacifying the
demands and cruelties of the Turk.
We all realize that Armenia has suf-
sered through the cruelty of the bru-
tai and ruthless Turk, but why should
the United States be chosen as medi-
ator?
Surely there are other countries
with power and means, especially
those who were not raVaged by the
four-year war who are more able than
ours to try the role of "Peace-maker."

The immigration Problem.

A Bill has now been prepared for
Congress to restrict immigration to

problem is one of the serious problems
facing America today.

Labor and immigration.

Newspapers say that fully 100000
clothing workers in N. Y. City alone,
are now idle. Regardless Of what
capitol may say or do, labor is work
ing hard to restrict immigration,
which means loss to Capitol's over
full bank accounts. The Bill is now
ready to be placed before the next
Congress, to convene in March, when,
if three-fourths of both Houses passes
it, the Presidents signature will be re-
uuired to make it law.

1t will be remembered that a month

Cork, Ireland, died in an English
prison, as the result of 73-day fast,
leaving a wife and small child to suf-

Swiney is touring this country plead

she will find sympathizers, plenty of
them. No wonder there is dissatisfac-

The young man was delighted and,

A Model Life.

Recently Mr.. Joseph Wilson, of
London, England, celebrated his 87th
birthday by entertaining hundreds of
people. Nothing strange about this,
you say? The man in all this time did
not touch liquor, and ate no meat
since the age of Is. He has not smok-
ed since the age of 20, and, no doubt
was as careful about the other bad
habits so as not to be enslaved by
them.

A VICTORY FOR FARMERS
NOTORIOUS PACKING CASE WON
BY PACKING COMPANY
National Bank of La Crosse Ordered
to Pay S65, 10000 to Farmers
Cooperative Co.

Vernon county farmers who lost
money in the packing plant venture at
La Crosse will be pleased TO hear that
they have been awarded verdict of
a little more than SOS 900, against the
National Bank of La Crosse and some
of its directors.
The jury found that the previous
owners owed the bank money, and that
they together conspired to sell the
property at a highly inflated figure,
later doing that very thing to the Far
mers' Cooperative Co., and made a
fat cleanup in the sale.
That the case will be carried to the
supreme court is quite certain, and we
hope md believe that the verdict of
the lower court will be affirmed.
