To Abolish the Pit

Back in the early the Farmers Alliance was denounc
ing the Chicago Board of Trade the root OF all Ills OF the
farmer and the source of his adversely
The attack on the Wheat Pit was continued by the
Popists and ntermttenty sincebut nothing mater
azed During the war; the pit closed and somehow OF
other it was never missed by the farmer
Frequently and vocferousy denounced III congress as
gambling den preying the American farmer no effort
for its abolition has got anywhere Now Senator Cap
per- heir the Kansas popuss and with all OF the later
energy and vituperatve oraory proposes to close the
worlds greatest gambling house, and put the den OF thieves
who are embarrassing the farmer and victmzlng the
public, out of business"
Senator Capper has drafted bill that will be presented
the next session congress forbddng trading in futures
He declares that the exploded the od pleas OF those who
reap financial harvest commission fees out of the option
pit that trading futures necessary in handling the cash
commodity
For more than two years. to July Is, when trading in
futures resumed the grain business of the United States
was transacted without an option market.
Since trading in futures resumed, grain gamblers
have sold resod this years wheat crop five six times
Only about per cent of the trading done in futures is bona
fde transaction for actual delivery of the grain
The farmers and public generally will wish Capper success
in his efforts After curbng the grain pit he should turn
his attention to the Stock Exchange and produce
changes all of them gambling dens, wherein nonproducers
fleece the producer and consumer.

A B G. of the Leag
of Nations
Ry VIII Irwin.

, YOUR COMPANY
| league now indifferent to IL?
A. The answer is found in a re.
mark by Mark Twain in one of his
travel books. He spoke of people
/ who, climbing a mountain on a hot
1 day declare that they would give
the world for a drink. but when
they reach the summit they kick
against paying 20 cents for a bot
tie of beer.
Q. Is this a dignified parallel
for great subject like the league
A. II is very striking parallel.
Human nature finds it very easy
TO forget. even the horror of a great
war that cost nearly ten million
lives, Human nature is apt to say
that the thing can never happen
again. Or else human nature says
that il It happens again we will see
about il. The further we draw
away from the war the more indif-
ferent people are likely to be; yet
the necessity remains just what it
was the day after the arrnistice.
G. Who are those that believe in
the leagues
A. All those who do not find II
possible 10 fOrget 50 easily, and
whc think that the worry and trou-
bic connected with the league. the
expense connected with the league
and the slight restrictions upon our
national freedom of action con-
aected with the league. are as
nothing compared with the 1oe.-

away and snatch even a bite to eat.
Naturally, Benjamin's temper
grew worse as the night lengthen-
ed. And Kiddie Katydid had to
admit to himself that he would be
most unwise if he did any jump
ing or flying just then. For Ben
pamin Bat was in so fierce a hu-
NOR that he was ready to snap at
anybody who was smaller than he
was. All the tiny flying folk gave
him a wide berth. And it began to
look as if he were going to spoil
the nights fun.
But all the while Mr.. Frog never
once lost his temper, Even when
Benjamin Bat called him a long
legged, flat-headed, paddle-footed
meddler, Mr. Frog only smiled and
turned a few somersaults back

less. Quite unsuspected by him,
while he was wrangling with Mr..
Frog, the cat had crept out of the
woodshed and stolen softly into
that very tree, where she lay mo-
tionless along limb. She had
come out upon an early morning
hunt for birds.
She was a fierce old cat. There
was nothing, almost, that she was
MT ready and willing to fight
Even old dog Spot had learned to
shun her. And now she waited pa
tiently until Benjamin Bat should
come within reach of her quick
paws.
That stupid. blundering fellow
bumped squarely into her at last.
And how he escaped is still a mys-
terry. The old cat always claimed
that when she found Benjamin
wasn't a bird she was SO surprised

whats the matter with you?"
Be95amin Bat asked him at last,
Cant you speak?'
"Certainly! Certainly" Mr.. Frog
said then. i've been trying to
think of some way to prevent so
much quarreling. 1t hardly seems
fair to Kiddie Katydid-this up
roar right in his dooryard. And
since you are the one that's max
ing the greatest disturbance, I'd
suggest that you go away and
leave us to enjoy the rest of the
night in peace
"I'll do nothing of the knd!'
Benjamin Bat screamed. This is
my p5A'ty. / thought of it in the
first place. And I'm going to stay
here until dawn
every well! Then the rest of us
will leave at once" Nh Frog told
him. And calling good-by to all
his friends, Mr. Frog flopped him
self briskly away.
The smaller folk, too, vanished
as if by magic. Though Benjamin
Bat watched sharply, he didn't
even see Freddie Firefly when he
slipped away.
That's strange!" thought Ben
jamin. "He must have put out mis-
light, to fool me. But | don't care,
because Kiddie Katydid is hidden
somewhere in this tree. And I'm
going to find him-for I'm terribly
hungry"
So Benjamin began flying in and
out among the maple branches. No
body but he could have twisted and
turned in such a helter-skelter fa-
shion. 1t made Kiddie Katydid al
most dizzy just to watch him. But
Kiddie didn't take his eyes off Ben
jamin, because he intended to
jump-and jump fast and farm
case Benjamin should spy him.
Now, although the Bat family
was able to see in the dark as well
as Farmer Green's cat could, Ben
jamin failed to find Kiddie Katy
did anywhere. Crouching. notion
less upon leaf, and dressed all in
green, Kiddie Katydid was almost
invisible. But if he had moved the
least bit, Benjamin Bat would have
found him out.
Looking only for a tiny green
figure AMONG the green. leaves,
Benjamin Bat paid mo attention
to the grayish branches of the
tree. He was really strangely care
