The Lakeland evening telegram., 1920-12-14

Congress is now furnishing the very
rare spectacle Of a legislature body
actually trying to get something done.
The Lakeland evening telegram., 1920-12-14


The Times Union takes issue with
the Evening Telegram on the possibii-
lty of the public becoming so enam-
ored of tent life as to become genuine
nomads. Frankly, we strongly sus-
pect the Jacksonville paper is right. AS
it pertinently remarks the people are
too fond of their comforts to become
permanent tent dwellers. Yet it must
be confessed that the idea of a per-
manent tribe Of American Gypsies has
so much of the picturesque and roman
tic in it that we almost wish it were on
the cards.
The Lakeland evening telegram., 1920-12-14

Harding is taking counsel of every
body and trying to find some ground
upon which all conflicting views re-
gardins the league Of nations may
come together. theoretically. an
eclectic policy is the ideal one, but in
practice, the man who knows exactly
what he wants to do and bends every
energy to accomplish it, is the one who
sees monuments with his name on them
when he comes back from the spirit
land.

HARRISBURG, Pa, December 8 (by

state capital selected for next years
meeting, the conference of governors
concluded it's third and last session be-
fore noon today and entrained for Phil

record as favoring creation by the

! finance corporation designed to come
| to the rescue of American farmers
| who face ruin because there is no
market for their surplus stocks of
foodstuffs, grain and other products.
The action was taken on the rec
! mmendation of a committee of five
governors, who presented the follow:
ing report:
"The financial situation in the whole
country is cause for the gravest con-
Germ, but not for despair. All. lines of
business are realizing heavy losses,
but the swift decline of prices of farm
commodities to far below the cost
of production threatens a national
disaster. The situation demands IN

supreme wisdom and courage. Moth

owe believe that the tenseness of
the situation can be relieved in sew
eraI ways: -.
Il. Let every individual do all he
can to help and encourage his neigh
Dor Let there be complete mobiliza-
ton of the financial and spiritual as
sets of every community. Neither
God nor the government ought to be
asked to help those who do not hrst
make every effort possible to help
themselves. There ought to be a
united effort in every community to
keep any good man from being de-
stroyed because he cannot immediate
ly meet his obligations. Under exist
ing conditions it would be the acme
of inhumanity and of unwisdom to
force any debtor into bankruptcy If
by the most liberal indulgence he
would be ultimately able to pay.
Business failures do more than wreck
business; they ofttimes destroy man.
Liberal indulgences and renewals
should be granted by the manufac-
turers to the jobbers, by the jobbers
to the merchants, by the merchants to
the individuals. 1t is no time for a
creditor to seize his debtor by the
| throat and savagely say: Pay me
what thou owest.' -
Finance Corporation Needed.
"2. Let the federal government
create a finance corporation of some
sort that will enable the people of
other lands to obtain from us the

Now as soon as the wicked prince
turned into Billy Goat, as I told you
In the last story, the spell which hung
over the stately castle disappeared and
all the little gold fishes in the beautiful
fountain turned into men and women
and so did the birds that sang in the
trees and bushes, and the beautiful Pea
cock changed into a prince.
And then he took Puss by the paw
and said; Little comrade, you have
rescued me by the magic of your won
derful flaming gold featherl" And this
made Puss very proud and he said to
himself if he ever saw the big white
duck who had given him that feather
he would give him q little, gold ring.
And some day I'll tell you how Puss
met the big white dusk again and how
he crossed over the mighty river in the
boat with the four white ducks.
Well, now that every one was happy
once more and the spell was broken,
Puss said goodty, but before he went
he cautioned the Prince about the Billy
Goat. BE careful of hlm,.' said our lit
tie traveller. for he may get the help
Of some wicked witch to work you harm. :"
Never fear" replied the Prince, with
a laugh. Il shall see that this ugly Billy
Goat is kept tied up, and 1 shall also see
that guard Is put about him."
And after that Puss went upon his
journey, fer he was anxious for new ad-
ventures. And by and by, not go very
far, he came to an old dead tree on which
sat forlorn crow.
Now the reason this poor old black
bird was so unhappy was because the
king Of the North Country had COM
manded that all the crows should be
painted white, and this old crow didn't
want to be white. He had always worn
black suit and he meant to wear one
until the end of his days. And when he
saw Puss Junior he said in sad voice:
"Oh. woe is me- will not change
My suit of dusty black;
A coat of white would be a sight
Upon an old crows back"

Mrs. Housewife,
Do You KnOU?

1. The difference between black pepper
and white pepper?
2. How to tell the difference between
hot and sweet green peppers?
g. How to remove wall paper from
the walls?
(These questions will be answered
Monday by the HOUSEWIFE
ANSWER TO Yesterdays CUES
TIONS.
1. Pasteurized milk is always better
than raw milk of uncertain source, al
though it is slightly less rich in certain
body building properties. Pasteurized
milk also keeps better than raw milk.
2. 1t is a good idea always to parboil
green peppers before using them in
salads or other dishes, as this makes
them much more easy to digest.
3. Seashore sand, If sifted so that only
the fine sand remains, is very useful to
have on hand for heavy securing. The
coarser sand is useful in cleaning the
inside Of bottles.-Copyright, 1920.
