Have you had a sudden chill? And was that chill brought on by cotton now going down. ward instead of upward? You say I must bear in mind that Mir. Wilson and not Harding is yet acting as presi- dent. Why, sonny, he's not mere'V acting as president, he is president, and will be until the 4th of next March. Have you just found that out? What a pity you did not think of that on November 9 when you was sending up those mighty "cheers" for MT. Harding and saying that i've can now expect cotton to go upward !' What a pity! But, say, if cotton was selling now at 40 cents, would you want us to bear in mind who was acting" as president, or would you rear back and say, "T told you so?" But to show you and everybody else, that we wish to deal fairly with you we will just ask you to quote your own words of November 9, word for word, just as you wrote them, and tell us just what you were passing your hopes upon that cotton would not go up- ward, if it was not because MT. Hard ing had been elected president Don't dodge the question, nor bubble with your answer. Will you do it? We will wait and see.

NOT WORTH A ROOSTER

witness a hasty wedding
On one occasion the prospective
bride and bridegroom arrived in a
farm wagon After the ceremony
was duly performed, the bridegroom
asked to be excused for moment, and
on returning from his wagon, he said:
"Parson, have no money to give you,
but here is a nice young rooster for
your Thanksgiving dinner, and l will
bring you turkey for Christmas"
On several occasions the minister
saw the same man in town, who
seemed to avoid him One day on
meeting him face to face, he said:
"Parson may as yell tell you that
am not going to bring that turkey; |
have found out she was not even
worth the rooster l gave you Chi

WHY THE men LEFT

A story that fits in with the big
question of today, the housing ques-

and consider, was sent into this office
and is here reproduced.
Why the Men Left.
The manager of the R. & S. Manu-
featuring Company was in the presi-
dents office to talk over the labor
situation. Eight of the ten new ma
chimes installed in the factory last
month were standing idle for lack Of
men. President Haskell felt that ac.

the company had ever received would
have to be Cancelled.

Burleson's S Report.
Sounds Very Much Like
Gary's

Washington. The labor sections of
Postmaster General Burleson's annual
report sounds like Judge Gary's testi-
mony before the senate committee that
probed the steel strike
The post head declares that trade
unions in his department "are fast
becoming a menace to public welfare
and should no longer be tolerated or
condoned." He would make it un-
lawful for these employees to join a
labor organization, but he would per-
nit them to unite "for their social and
general welfare, to appear before COM
nittees of congress and to furnish in
formation concerning the postal ser
vice of which they may have knowl-
edge" He favors repeating the anti
gag law of 1912, which now permits
employees to petition senator sand rep
resentatives.
Under Mr.. Burleson's plan the pos
tai workers would organize a bene-
fetal or social organization, and sub
nit grievances to him. If he decided
that "they may have knowledge" of
these grievances, they could present
them to congress.
With regulation anti-union logic the
postmaster general condemns unions
Of postal employees and then has this
to say of the men and women who
constitute the membership of these
organizations:
"Postmasters and postal employees
generally have responded cheerfully to
these numerous demands upon and
extraneous duties required Of them,
evideneing at all times a worthy spirit
of LOYALTY and patriotism.
Mr.. Burleson does not acknowledge
that the postal service is weakened
because Of his general labor policy
but national lawmakers are supposed
to read between the lines of that por-
ton Of his report which recommends
most careful attention to appoint
ment and training Of employees with a
view to again building up force OF
unquestioned efficiency"
