Each Chinese Syllable Has
 an Average of 1O5 Meanings

The Chinese language, before the attempt was made to give China a national writing in what is now known as the Gnu Yin Tzu-Mu, was entirely made up of monosyllables. there being APO in all in the official Pekingese dialect. The imperial dic- ttonary, still the standard, although 1t is two centuries old, contains 44,449 words. Each Chinese syllable has an average of 105 meanings. They are distinguished by the slight difference of pronunciation and by the associ- atiOn of ore word with the one next to it. Each of the 1O5 variations of the same monosyllable is an entirely distinct word to the Chinese. Each has an telegraph which bears no sug- gestion of the 104.

Elder Ducks Pluck the Down;
 Later Gathered for Export

Elder ducks breed in thousands on some of the smaller islands off the coast of Iceland. The birds are so tame that they will allow anyone to stroke their feathers or lift them from their nests. This is because they are protected for the down, which is a large item of export from Iceland. The birds pluck the down from their breasts to line their nests. When these are well Tired the owner of the land takes the down from the nests. The ducks take more down from their breasts, and again 1t is removed from the nests. For the third time the ducks pluck down from their breasts, and this time they are not disturbed till the eggs are matched, then the re- maining down is taken.-The Girls World.

If, however, the production of eggs out weighs the desire for an occasional table fowl, the lighter egg breeds un- doubtedly will be found better, be- cause they lay as many eggs and do so on less feed, with the result that they produce the eggs more cheaply. It is by all means advisable to keep some pure breed or variety. Where this is done, sales at a profitable fig ure can often be made of breeding stock intended for market, or of eggs for matching.

AS long ago as the time of the cave dweller, prehistoric man learned that the best arrow or spear was tipped with the best piece of flint. In brief, to do good work you must have good tools.

the senate ~ body has not been the
champion Of popular government.
The present senate exemplifies the
established record and reputation Of the
body. 1t is but logical that the AFRO
gance of some Of its leaders should seek
now, through tho election of Senate,
Harding, to usurp the functions Of the
President.
Ex-Governor Mccall, Of Massachu
setts, in an article in a recent maga'
zine, speaks. thus Of the senate action
on the League Of Nations:
"This moral decadence has shown it
self in the recent notable debate upon
the treaty #.''
Referring to future readers Of the
history Of this time, he says:
''They would see a cause Of colossa!
Importance brought down to the leve
of the hustings as if it were the prime
purpose not to confer memorable
boon upon mankind but to carry tn.
next election.''
And it is to the most reactionary ani
the narrowest Of the clique Of this sen
ate that Harding proposes to turn th'
government of the nation over.

When Little Minds Organized the
Radical Order Of Small Potatoes

Potatoes talk? Certainly potatoes
talk' and show more ability than a
good many people. That is the rea-
SON they have grown from the under
sized Wild vegetables to the best food
on the table. If potatoes never talked
this story would never have been writ
ten.
1t all happened years ago. Ip vege-
table land there was a great COM
plant because potatoes were not get
ting full value received. A conven-
ton was called and what was found
out made every spud open his eyes.
The trouble with these potatoes was
that they were erunts-under-sized and
too small to be popular. They were
politely told to grow up and amount
to something. The bigger potatoes
took the hint and organized the rest
A farmer was hied to plant, till the
soil, water and harvest. He worked
hard to make these potatoes grow,
for it meant that much more to him.
The results were wonderful. Bushels
| of potatoes grew until they thought
they would burst from the attention
bestowed upon them. At the end of
the season they were piled up noun
tain high by the potato grader.
Did you ever see one of those
things? They consist of layers OF
wire mesh and each mesh has open
| ings of size different from the rest.
Potatoes are scatterd over the wire
I screens which are agitated, and a
process of separation occurs. Pota.
! toes slip through holes until the open
| ings grow too small. They finally find
! their way to different piles, where
brothers in the same grade await
| them.
! Now trouble started right here
among the small fry, Many potatoe:
had just utilized enough of the farm
er's care to exist. Others, very greedy
had taken advantage of everythin:
only to go to leaves. which appeared
so much better than making them
selves ready for the market. AS

JUST HANG ON.

If union labor men VIII but hold
their heads no harm will como out Of
the *'open shop" fight that is now
being made against the labor move
ment. Labor can easily outgeneral the
other side if common, ordinary horse
sense is displayed. All the right is on
the side Of labor. Mistakes may have
been made in tactics, and in some in
stances premature demands may have
been forced, but the correct principle
is behind our whole purpose.
The anti-unionists do not hope to de.
stroy union labor. They realize that
the task is impossible in America. They
can only hope to weaken its power and
influence, and by doing so they expect
to be in position to reduce wages at
the proper time when prices come down.
No one expects to see pre-war prices
obtain, but many believe the cost of
things to the consumers will materially
drop in the very near future. Henry
Ford announces that he will sell his
automobiles 5000 cheaper than he is
now charging for them, and he will
reduce their price without reducing the
wages Of labor. He can afford to do
it, he says, which indicates that he
has been profitecring to the tune, at
least, Of 5000 to a car. Many other
employers are in the same boat, but
they will not be so considerate of their
employees. They will attempt to reduce
wages.
If labor holds it's head, keeps or
ganized and holds on to what it gained
during the war it's present wage will
soon have much greater purchasing
value than it has today. If its organ
ization is weakened the ssopen shop
pers'' will take advantage Of the sit
uation and they will start a general
reduction all along the line.
It will pay to be patient and hang
on for while.
