and yet they are dominated by the small minority.
 But the worm will endure just so much torment, and then it will turn. And this is equally true of the worms of the human family.
 In Russia the artistocrats plunder- ed the peasants until human nature could stand no more. Then the pea sants arose in their might and tore the aristocrats -asunder.
 Russia is a bolshevistic hell as a result of this misuse of power.
 Washington should remove it's smoked glasses, take look around and note conditions as they exist.
 Some day the American worm will turn.
 It may tire of the capitalistic plum dering and the yielding of the labor lash.
 It may send people to Washington who will represent the great masses, and not those two small classes. Then the financier with a billion in his fist will look no better than the labor dictator with lash in his hand.
 And neither will look good at all Even in America the classes are not immune from the wrath of the masses-when desperation points the way.

A writer in the New York Sun says "It was Senator Vest of Missouri, a clever marker of phrases, who utter ed the bon mot, The Pilgrims first fell upon their knees and then fell upon the aborigines,' and goes on to protest that, on the contrary the first Pilgrims preserved very pleas ant modus vivendi with the Indians. ifested itself between New England It was much later that bad blood man settlers and the red men.
 However, the bon mot is too good to be lost, and in a wide sense it does describe the attitude of many of the first Caucasians on their arriv- al. Quite truly is it historically ac- curate of some of the Spanish land- ings and explorations. Cortez5s tri- umphal march into Mexico was ac- complished by much piety in forms and proclamations; and history re- lates what happened in the West In- dies some years after Columbus dis covery.

WHEN THE WORM TURNS

The big corporations, the flnan- eiers and the new breed of war mil- lionaires are entrenched behind their dollars and their greed and can see nothing but their own pleasure and their own will. Their towering ann bition is greater wealth and power.
 The labor unions, long suffering from capitalistic rapacity, have as sumed gigantic proportions where by the nod of one man they are able to paralyze the industry of the coun- try, throw hundreds of thousands of people out of employment, and bring others to sickness, starvation and the grave. Their power has gone to their heads.
 The two classes combined repre- sent only small proportion of the population of the country, yet they practically dominate everything to the exclusion of all other classes.
 The farmers, the doctors, the law yers, merchants, editors, preachers, and millions of others are at their mercy and gasping under the capi- talistic and labor heels-because they are not organized. They represent the great majority of the population

I'VE BEEN DOWN TO oo,

(By Edgar A. Guest.) I've been down to the barber shop, An got my hair all trimmed on
 top, An smell as nice as my Ma when she Is all fixed up for some company. | sat in the chair that men sit in. An I wore a sheet up to my chin- An the barber said in real mce
 way, "Well, how'll you have it trimmed
 today?" I've been down to the barber shop, An Ma she didn't have time to
 stop, So she left me alone, coz she couldn't
 wait
 To see that barber cut it straight. He rigged up seat like little shelf, An I climbed right up in the chair myself, An the barber said, as he got the
 shears,
 "Will you have it clipped behind the ears?" "It looks like snow," said the barber then,
 Just the way that he talks to men. "The winters long and the wealth CTS rough, An I feel almost like had enough. An I talked to him in his barber's chair.
 Got hair in my eyes but I didn't care. Then he said: "Will you take my dandruff cure?" An showed me bottle, an said, Sure" He rubbed some in and it burned a lot,
 For I didn't know that the dan druff was hot. But I didn't cry, l was sitting there Just like my Pa in barber chair. Then I gave him the money when he
 was through. An I got my change an l tipped gave him a dime for himself, be-
 coz

EVOLUTION OF THE BARBER

The spirit of modern hustle invades even the barber shop, once regarded as a pleasant center of aeighborhood gossip and leisurely conversation.
 1t is characteristic of these rapid times that they are holding speed contests in barbering. One noted champion at Boston the other day shaved man and cut his hair in six minutes. 15 seconds. And the oc- cupant of the chair was not reported to have carried away scratch.
 The old time shop never consider ed human time as valuable. The shears artist sought to make his place attractive by his pleasant talk. Bar bers with reputation as converse tionalists were places of resort for many miles around.
 The old fashioned barber cherish ed the title "tonsorial artist" some what seriously. Following his ideals of masculine beauty, he would plast- CT a mans forelock in sweeping curve nearly down to the eyes. Thus adorned the town Adonis would go forth in glery for his conquests.
 The modern barber does not de- pend for business on his personal charm. The speed some of the furze clippers show on Saturday night might approach the record quoted above A clean, shiny shop and prompt service are what count now.

THE WEIGHT OF YOUR VOICE

Don't be backward aDout spedhlHs a good word for this town-costs you nothing and it's value is beyond meas ure.
 You may imagine that the weight of your individual voice is little avail. But you are in error.
 Every good word counts-as does every bad one.
 Your individual opinion has great weight with some, and reasonable weight with others. There is no one upon whom it does not leave its i'm press.
 When you point out the beauties and advantages of this community, and the sterling qualities of it's ci- tizens, you stamp these facts upon the minds of those with whom you converse, and they in turn transmit them to others.
 In this way the good work becomes an endless chain, always travelling, always boosting to the stranger to come where good words and deeds abound, and where ill ones are sel- dom heard or seen.

DOLLAR PER MILE NEW
 FINE FOR SPEEDERS

Little Rock, Feb. 4.-Municipal Judge Hale today announced new rule in handling speeders. It has been his custom in the past to fine speeders $25. Hereafter he will i'm pose fines of $100 per mile.
 Harvey Boyd, white man and driv- CT of motor truck, was the first to suffer from the new rule, and af- ter Detectives Hooter and Martin had informed the court that he was mak- ing 35 miles an hour, Judge Hale fin ed him S35. Boyd's excuse for fast driving was that he was behind time in making deliveries and was trying to make it up.

LOW IN SCALE OF HUMANITY
Cave OwelIers in the Canary Islands
Practically Live as Do the
Wild Animals.

Principal cave-dwellers' settlements
in the Canaries are at Atalaya, in the
island of Grand Canary. The name
mems the Giants burrOw," and
from distance the place closely re-
sembles a rabbit-warren or a honey
comb swarming with bees The caves
are more or less in terraces on the
side of a steep rock, overlooking
glen and river bed. Atalaya supplies
the entire group of the Canaries With
clay pots, every cave having its own
set Of rude appliances for making
pots, and the people display great In
genuity and quickness in the work.
Men, women and children squat about
at the entrances to their caves, knead-
ing the clay with their hands into
elegant Jars and using their finger
nails TO apply decorative lines.
These troglOdytes, or cave dwellers.
are almost like wild animals, having
no morals, and very little clothing to
boast Of. During the summer the
children run about almost naked. and
the woman wear the shortest of skirts
They are probably the last remnants
of the aborigines Of Grand Canary
who are known TO have lived In caves
500 years ago. The cave jewellers are
very different from the rest of the
islanders. who look upon them as
pariahs and would as soon think OF
intermarrying with monkeys as with
! them.-Wide World Magazine.

How the python Kills.

The python kills by contraction.
says Prof. John A. Jordan. In the
Wide World Magazine. He says he
has heard many discussions as to how
this is done, some men stating EN-
phatically that the python must gel
its tail around some s1lid object &c
get q leverage. Most agree. however
that the giant python can overpowei
and kill almost any animal. Some de
clare that the width Of its jaws vii
only allow of the passage of an ami
NAL about the size of goat. This
is not correct, says Professor Jordan
for he claims he has killed python'
with the horns of a Topi hartebees
sticking out of the jaw, and the Top
weighs well over 200 pounds.
