Plumb Plan

What is the plumb plan for the
railroads?
1t is this: That the United States
Government buy the railroads, and
"a board of trustees be appointed to
manage them. The board of trus-
tees to consist of fifteen members.
Of these only five are to represent
the government, the other ten be-
ing of the unions.
If the roads make a profit the
members Of the unions get the pro-
fit and their salaries too. If the
roads do not pay expenses the gov
eminent must make up the deficit;
and the government is the people.
1t would give the railroads to the
unions without their having invest
ed dollar, and in addition we
must pay the losses sustained.

Something to Worry About.

As If we haven't already enough to
keep our minds busy, with war and the
high cost of living! And our friends.
the learned astronomers, who study
the heavens just as carefully as the
average fellow does the innermost re.
cesses of his pocketbook day before
pay, are intent upon adding to our load
of worry burdens. They-some of
them-believe the sun is going to ex-
plode. One of them. writing in Pop
ular Astronomy, points to the fact that
our sun is of advanced age, and pre-
diets it's finish as the leading figure
In our solar system. He finds that our
sun has contracted 93,O00.0OO miles
from each side, thus giving it's hot
center 1S6OOO,0OO miles less of room.
So you see the suns center is rather
crowded for space. Something like the
three-room apartment couple when WIS.,
iting relatives begin their summer va
cation drives.-Syracuse Journal.

BIRD club
Notes

We have all seen the Baltimore
Oriole sometimes the Golden Robin
with his bright yellow coat and
black wings. They are sociable birds
and seem to like our socity for they
build thier nests near houses, some
times SO near that they can be
reached from the upper windows.
Did you ever see an orioles nest?
1t is a bag five or six inches deep
and three inches in diameter. 1t is
made of plant fibers, thread, string
etc. and is usually hung at the end
of bough high up in tree. Some
time the string by whichit is sus-
pended is eight or ten inches long
and the nest sways to and fro with
every breeze.
They are only summer visitors
with us, spending their winters in
Central America, and coming North
about May l. Their song is a rich
whistle, different in tone from that
of any other bird we have known.
The Oriole is quite common in and
around Extra, the tall trees attract
ing them. They may be seen fitting
among the green leaves of the lofty
trees almost any day in summer.
Their food is largely insects that
are harmful to gardens and orch
ards. Beetles, weevils, ants, moths,
caterpillars and grasshoppers con-
stitute large part of their diet. Pro-
tect the orioles both their beauty
and their usefulness.

"Thoy are unassimi1 1ble. They
do not care for citizenship. Their
government experts japanese in
this county to remain loyal to the
country Of their fathers. and they
are loyal to Japan" he said.
The chief objection to the Jap-
anese is not racial antipathy, but
the knowledge that their economic
advantages make it hopeless for
the white race to compete with
them, Mr.. McClatchy' explained
"The Japanese question Is really
an economic one--it Is simply
W
init to the country n people who
can drive the Americans out" The
japanese work longer hours for
smaller wages than Americaus;
their women toll in the fields: they
concentrate in close communities:
they have wonderful business CO.
operation and they control the
produce trade In MANY sections he
said. Because of these factors
they gradually drive Americans out
of every business they enter.
Mr.. McClatchy said the Japanese
practically control the Imperial
Valley in southern California:
have eighty-five per cent of the
Rockford melon business of Colo
RADIO; hold half the Hood river
apple district and control the
southern California fisheries.
