EVERYBODY
HELP

General Dawes, head Of the new
budget bureau. is not asking too much
when he indicates to business men
Of the country that he wants their
help without compensation. The pur-
pose of the budget bureau is to cut
government expenses. The business
men of the country are demanding a
reduction of expenses. 1t cannot be
expected to get economy in public
business through men who never had
any successful private business of
their own. and neither can men of
large business affairs be expected to
work for the government at salaries
the government IL willing to pay.
Mr.. Dawes does not want any man to
give his whole time to the govern
msnt, but does want business men to
give him and his bureau the benefit
Of their knowledge Of best methods
of organization.

In the grounds Of the Episcopal ca

built on commanding heights overlook

ton. there Is a curious plant known as
the Glastonbury thorn or Christ thorn.
This plant has rare history. for the
tradition. as told by writer In the
Pathfinder, Ii that IL was this kind Of
thorn from which the crown was
made when Christ was crucined- II
belongs to q very large botanical fam
lly, namely, the euphorbia---of which
there are upwards of three thousand
known species. They usually yield
milky juice when cut or bruised. In
some cases this juice Is poisonous.
Some Of the wild tribes Of Africa have
used 1t to poison the tips Of their ar
rows.
The name Glastonbury comes from
old Glastonbury abbey. near Bath.

Glastonbury thrust his stick into the

Christ thorn and he had brought II
from the Holy land as a sacred me-

The packers claim they're making
but one-fifth of q cent on each dollar
invested. And yet they have so cor
nered the meat business of this coun-
try that no one else can get into 1t on
q big scale. even II they were salts
f,ed to earn that sum. They appear
to overlook the fact that the public
generally doesn't care II they make q

is sore about, and good and sore
about. 10 that the packers have not

There IL where the public registers
Its kick against the packers, and that
Is where the public demands stern ac-

The packers are giving good SER

They are entitled to a fair profit, the

they seek to monopolize other lines
of business-that is where the public
kicks. and has perfect right to kick.
