 Exactly" replied the Elf Man, 'The bee didn't know he was there and after she had ab-stract-ed from the flower all the nectar she could carry, she flew away to her hive. This pro-f-teer went with her and actu- ally introduced himself into her home without an invitation"
 ftNot really?" Little-Girl was standing on her tip-toes in excite ment.
 "Yes, really" nodded the Green Elf Man, "Then, Tri-ung-u-lin set himself to work to get breakfast, and he liked his food so much he de- cided to stay. The bee didn't notice him because she was so busy making bee food from nectar and pollen she got from the flowers for her bee babies that she had no time for visi- tors. He-ho-hump and the Elf Man yawned, and inside of his mouth looked like the tiny rosy bell of baby morning-glory.
 "Are you tired, little Elf Man?" asked Little-Girl.
 "Indeed, no it is only the impu- dence of this member of the Beetle Family. am yawning to get more oxygen into my system"
 "Oh, I know. You are taking your deep-breathing exercises. We learned them at school in our Health Crusade. Watch usp Then Little Girl and Big-Boy opened their pink mouths, and yawned, "Ho-ho-hum," and their teeth and throats reminded the Elf Man of big-beautiful lilies drenched with dew. You see, they had kept all the Imps of the Poison ous Gases out of their bodies by keeping their mouths and teeth per- fectly clean.
 "Well, to tell you more about Tri-ung-u-lin," said the Elf Man, "Soon he had eaten so much that he became soft and helpless-just as a child will become if it eats too much and takes no exercise. He lost his six legs and he just lay there and ate and ate until after a while he turned into hard blister beetle like his father was before him, and then he rolled out of the bee home. Mrs. Bee didn't care because she hadn't noticed him at all, so he went away without so much as saying Thank you By Cecelia Reynolds Rob- ertson.

 "Did you hear voice?" asked Little-Girl. Someone spoke to me about the Rumble Bee," but just then
 A tiny little fellow dressed in smock of green
 Hopping along on the grass was seen. Was he pixie, an elf, or fay? For he beckoned and piped, Shall

 "There he is! There he isp' cried Little-Girl, her curls dancing up and down in her excitement. "Oh, look at him, Big-Boy"
 "Why, how do you do?" asked the Little Elf Man, hopping up and down on one foot, "How do you, and how do you do, and how do you do again?"
 What a funny little man." said Little-Girl, and just then the queer little green man began to sing this song:
 "Oh, I am a little Elf Man bold, And live by myself 'eanth the gar

 But I grew lonely so I came out To show Little-Girl and Boy about; So fol-de-rol-de-rol-de-re, Follow me, follow mep

COMPARATIVE VALUES.

Last yeal when corn was $1.5O a
bushel, farmer could get 5 gallons
Ct gasoline for single bushel. To-
day at the farm price, that bushel Of
corn only buys gallon of gasoline.
Last year 6 bushels OF corn would
buy ton Of soft coal. Today that
tons Of coal costs 20 bushels Of corn.
I Last year 40 bushels OF corn would
purchase $50 suit Of clothes. Today
it would take 200 busiest to buy that
suit. Yet, had clothing been reduced
in price proportionately with corn,
$50 suits of clothes would now be
selling for $12.
Last year 10 bushels Of corn would
buy SIS pair Of shoes. Today it
takes so bushels.
Last year a good pair OF shoes could
be bought with one cowhide. Today
it takes cowhides to get the shoes.
To buy his wife pair of $40 shoes,
a Kansas farmer recently sold 20
bushels of corn for $3.50 and a big
cowhide for So. Then had to pay 81
cents to boot to close the transaction.
Last year 1-3 bushels of corn would

What The Census ShoaCs.,

The census shows that a maj jority
of this country's people live in cities
of over $500 inhabitants. 1t is an
unhealthy situation and shows clearly
enough that the high cost OF living
brings no advantage to the actual pro-
dueer of food. Working farmers are
going to the cities because it pays
better to work in factory than on the
farm. The cause Of this is plain. In
spite lof the decline in agricultural
population, rural land values are in
creasing. They have reached and
passed the point beyond which profit
able production can be. carried on.
The farmer cannot pay the exorbitant
prices demanded for farm land and
make enough to make a decent living
for himself after paying interest on the
investment, taxes on all he produces
and consumes, and extortionate prices
to trasportation and other monopolies.
Until that situation will be rernedied,
until the cause Of the trouble shall be.

Freedom an Bondage.

IieeUOHt $t7t bOn00ge.
Fhe maj iority opinion of the supreme
court upholding the constitutionality
OF the Minnesota peace time sedition
act, Indicates how far we have tr-ueled
along the road rom a overnment of
law to government Of persons. The
TACT that it acts as confirmation of a
conviction obtained under it against
Joseph Gilbert, once employed by the
N92npars isan league, is overshadoWed
by the general significance of the de-
cision.
1T means practically that all Of the
so-called sedition acts in the various
states have a good chance Of being
held valid. Aside from the problem
OF providing as many kinds of patriot
ism as there are states in the Union,
all OF these acts are so loosely drawn
that any citizen who speaks in public
could be considered guilty of sedition
And this means that the authorities
will exercise their discretion hs to who
shall be arrested under the statute and
who shall not.
Part OF the Indictment for instance,
on which Mr.. Gilbert was convict in
the Goodhue county (Minn.) court al
legged that he advocated a vote by the
people on war Only two days ago
the st. Paul Pioneer Press openly pub
lished articles advocating the war
referendum If we were governed by
law, as the Constitution provides, the
manager Of the Pioneer Press should
be indicted under the Minnesota stat
ute.
OF course, we know nothing Of the
kind will be done, because our legal
system has -degenerated to point
where those who happen to be in
power can say: "A ahing is disloyal
when you advocate it, but it is loyal
| when we believe it advisable to take
| it up
The Sherman antitrust laws are
| now enforced only against the farmers
and workers. Our sabotage and Sc
dltlon laws would get more captains
Of industry than T. W. W.s if they
were enforced impartially. But, as
said above, we have become govern
ment of persons, or better, by inter
ests.

Brandeis set their faces against this

Coal Proftetrs.

toO0o fCyttCtfO.
According to Father Collin who
lives not far from some OF the soft coal
fields of this country, the coal situation
n the United States can be summed
up very briefly as follows:
"Let us suppose that>a small body
Of persons bought up all the available
COWS in their community at eight
dollars per head, and then created
conditions by which the consumer had
to pay over five hundred dollars per
quart for milk, or to be more accurate,
had to pay over forty thousand dollaers
on an eight dollar investment. NJ
"This is the exact relation, cofserva-
lively stated, between the people 5
ultimate. price of the product on an
eight dollar investment by the coal
operators. ~
''In 1914, after. having paid their
employees, their overhead expenses,
and all other expenses, retaining coal
enough to serve as pillars to prevent
Underground caving, the soft coal was
brought to the surface for, $1.25 per
ton and sold atisurface for sometimes,
less than sits pei ton. With the
rate not over $1.75, they made twenty
thousand dollars on an eight dollar
Investment. L, rg
During 1920, and before this year,
when the mine operators were forced
to pay an increased compensation to
the miners, the cost of bringing this
soft coal to the surface was $1.el per
ton; including all expenses. This in
creased cost over 1913 was only 36
cents per ton. After this raise the
coal was sold, and is still being sold,
for from three to five dollars at the
mine surface, though costing ~but
$1.61 to produce, Coal is not hondled
twice at the mine. 1t is shunted
into cars by machinery.
"a little mental arithmetic will
prove that with the present cost Of
production, the small increase of Sc
cents for labor and other increased
expenses, and the sale price at the
mine, the people are paying somebody
forty thousand dollars on eight dollar
investment.
Besides all this, there is a broker
who sells to a broker, till the people
! of my little town., less than Is miles
flom the soft coal fields, are paying
fifteen dollars per ton for coal. That
means that they are paying over one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
on an eight dollar investment-ar1d
the residents of this town are suffering
for want of coal at the present time,

removed, the tendency to 60 from farm
to city will probably continue even
though city workers have more than
their share of hardship and trouble.
Tie remedy is first Of all to force the
nonopolists to let go who are holding
valuable farm lands unused. This
can be done by taxing land values
enough to make holding without use
Improbable. Then all taxes on labor
products should be abolished. These
two steps viii force down the price of
land and reduce the. cost Of living and
CT production. The same measures
applied to cities and mining regions
will have similar results to workers
there. It will put an end to all the
monopolies that rest on control Of
natural resources sor public highways
and profit from the obstruction to in
dustry created by taxes on labor This
remedy should have been applied long
ago. : Legislators have long been urged
by single takers to do it and have long
been told what their failure to heed is
costing the country. The legislators
have scofed in reply. They may scoff
again. But they cannot scoff away
the results Of their refusal. They
may apply, as they have on other
occasions, false remedies. But the
false remedies will not interfere with
the working Of fundamental evils that
are left undisturbed. Either the right
remedy must be applied or the trouble
must grow worse.

Where Uncle SANS Mohey Goes.

According to an expert in the
United States Bureau OF Standards
93 cents out of every dollar OF Uncle
Sans money this year goes for war,
past, present or to come.
Only one cent out Of every dollar
goes FOR education and the improve
ment of the public health.
Copies Of this remarkable analysis
of our national budget may be secured
on application to DR.. E. B. Rosa,
United States Bureau of Standards,
Washington, D.. G..
Whereas the cities spend an average
OF ss6 per capita for education per year.
and the, states and private agencies
about So per capita per year for eddca-
ton, Uncle Sam with his huge billions
only spends 6 cents per capita Tor
education, and soIflesof that goes to
the; Gland grant colleges for military
drill! .s's'a. as..i, ,s9 H.
Without anybody in the country
realizing it, your Uncle seems toshave
become obsessed with militarlsm to
the exclusion of the normal, blanced
interests of the people.
The army and navy have developed
technique" for adroitly extracting
from Congress huge appropriations
denied to all other departments.
According to the analysis quoted
above, the national budget this year
represents a tax of $50 upon every
man, woman and child in the United
States, and Of this amount $46.50
goes for war and militarism.
Now on top Of it, Congressman
Julius Kahn, Of, California, genially
proposes as3system of universal milf
tary training which would cost the
country, according to Congressman
Mondell, the Republican floor leader
and watchdog TO the treasury, in the
neighborhood of one billion dollars a
year!
One of the most convincing argu-
ments that the "wets" can use against
prohibition is contained in the diary
Of Governor William Bradford Of
Plymouth, according to statements
made by the head Of the historical de-
partment Of a Boston school. The
diary mentioned states, among other
things that "much drinking of water
was a contributary cause of the
ravages Of disease and the shortness
of life that afflicted the Pilgrims in the
early days. If the ants" had their
way, there would be no danger Of the
present population Of the United
States becoming similarly afflicted.
