The United States Government discusses Sc
ousy the preposterous proposition that this country should
finance the indemnity the Allies take billions OF German

have been fighting each other for long time robbng eacn
other stealing national funds wasting prosperity and oppor

compel the distribution of that food should be carefully
considered.

ferrous prices and much starvation in winter.
Mr.. Terhune, of Boston, goes on his wedding
trip in flying machine painted white in gold letters upon
it the words, Honeymoon Express"
The old theory that all hOneymoOns were spent IN
the Clouds anyhow The Honeymoon Express is called
romantic but really demonstrates lack of romance The
ordinary young bride, with shiny valise two new
dresses Shoes and new hat is higher up in the
chine could take them.
Sometimes they down suddenly to earth and hit
the ground hard does the flying machine but that can't
be helped At least, they have their fight.

Dvina Look out for nation in revolution a volcano in
eruption; you cannot tell what forces be set free
nation like a man, is dangerous when it believes
everything it says"

In the biggest city in the country drivers of
milk wagons went strike not because they had any quar-
rel with employers with children that need milk They
striking "to settle fight within the union Union
labor shows remarkable resoucefuness in schemes for

One strike like that of the milk drivers inspired by
brutal Indifference to public welfare is harmful every
workingman.
