Study Your Fellow Men

Dear Cynthia-I note in your column
letter signed "A Little Nobody" May
! offer little advice? Thank you. "A
Little Nobody" you want to marry a
real man; then, first, you must know
men. for saith the Lord, You will
know them by their actions and their
language meaning, Of course, the good
and the bad in all walks OF life.
To do this, one must study them, but
theory alone is not sufficient; one must
also have practice. Practice is gained
by studying those you know. at home
and In your classroom. Find out their
likes and dislikes, their dispositions.
etc. /; by their conversation their aim
in life, whether to get all possible with
out payment or to help others.
Second, study those you see in pub
lie places. Try to penetrate the veneer
that hides the real self. Know their
professions, environments. ambitions, II
any. and present state of mind. Also. If
they choose their friends or merely take
what fate gives them.
Do these things and you will know
men and things in their true state.

Girls were killed in Wall street.

How would you feel?
Seeing notice like that?'
II just didn't think ~
The fellow muttered humbly.
You're brick for helping me.
Don't know how I'd "a got bail
An you saved me from lynching."
''That's all right" John replied.
"But are you a Red or aren't youi
I've got to know!" he insisted.
"For Pete's sake, no!
The other denied emphatically.
"Come home with me and see."
So they went together.
1t was a decent Brooklyn home.
Mother, little sisters, no father.
The practical joker supported them.
John was satisfied.
Chap was only foolish, not wicked.
At the trial he so testified.
Judge lectured the prisoner.
But let him off with a reprimand.
He's very careful about joking now.
Isn't it odd?
Jokers write of blowing up stations.
1t takes Judge to blow them up.

taken advantage of the Federal
Farm Loan Act and is getting his
money at 5is per cent but he has
placed an added burden upon the
other sixty-four farmers who are not
enjoying revenue from the loan.
Our public policy has been badly
at fault either In the matter of tax
alton exemption or In the applica-
ton Of progressive rates to incomes.
The two policies are antagonistic
and inconsistent One or the other
sould be speedily abandoned. We
cannot and ought not to abandon
progressive taxation. That institu-
ton 1T now firmly established in all
the important European nations. 1t
Is universally recognized as the only
means whereby the tax burden may
be made TO conform proportionately
to the individuals ability to pay
The tax system must be made
equitable IL the ideals OF democratic
government are to be maintained
and II is time to call q halt to the
present policy of tax exemption.
The weakest stronghold of that
policy lies in the tax exemption
clause of the Federal Farm Loan
Act and it Is here that the public
should declare itself and demand q
square deal in taxation.
Tax exemption is a "get-rich-
quick" device that promises some
thing for nothing but which in real
ity has been shown to cost the pub
lie treasury as much as seven times
what II gives to the narrower even
under our present tax rates.
A low rate OF loans for farm i'm
provement which will include the
struggling tenant and the poorer
class of farmers, is very desirable
but il should not be brought about
AZ the expense of our tax bearing
citizens and for the benefit of our
few mfl'ionaires.

AMERICAN COW KEEPS

The American COW Is Keeping COM
pany with the American pig in its in
vasion OF the world markets. state
nlent by the National City Bank OF
New York a few weeks ago showed
that the American pig is rapidly cap
turing the food markets of the world.
and il now appears that the American
ccw is keeping II company. A further
statementBby the bank covering the
world activities Of the American cow,
Shows@ that nearly a billion pounds of
60 laensed milk were sent out of the
united states in 1919 at an export value
of about s125, 100000. and that it was
distributed TO no less than ninety
countries. colonies, and islands of the
world The quantity of condensed
milk sent out of the country in 1919 is,
says the bank statement, fifty times as
much as in the year preceding the war.
and the value nearly 100 times as
IN UGH.
This tremendous Increase in the ex-
re rtatlon of condensed milk now rep
rcsents an export trade of SIPS, 000, 900
year. against a-littte over $1,000. 900
at the beginning Of the war. The phe-
nomenal growth in expectation of this
