I WANT TO BE LAZY AWHILE

I've been mighty smart this summer;
I've ploWed and I've hoed my crap;
And I amt even laid in the appletree
shade
To take me a noon-time nap.
But now the summer is ended,
And the works all finished in style;
So my physical force has changed its
course,
And | want to be lazy awhile.
All summer I kept my courage
Keyed up to the highest note,
In the daily stew of the work to do,
And the burdens had to tote.
But now the leaves are falling
And drifting into pile,
And | want to let loose from the
things of use,
And I want to be lazy awhile.
l want to get out in the open,
Like fairy or an elf,
With nothing to do for a month or
But just enjoy myself;
And sleep--by jings-if [ want to
Yes, sleep with a peaceful smile;
Send Duty away till another day,
And let me be lazy awhile.

THE DISAGREEMENT
CONFERENCE
It opened with a bang.
Did YOU hear it?

IL opened With q Dang.
Did you hear it?
And then it closed it's doors
with another bang.
7 reckon you heard that, too.
Oh, they are slick ducks, all
rights.
That opening performance
was calculated to fool the COM
mon plugs and make them think
something great and wonderful
was actually going to be done,
sure enough.
It even had me guessing for
just a little while, wondering if
they really did aim to do some
thing.
1t looked like a straight pro-
position on the face of it, and I
almost began to hope that [ had
been mistaken in calling it the
Disagreement Conference"
Then "Bang!' went the door,
and all my hopes looked like a
soap-bubble after it busts.
I am not going to say that
Hughes was insincere in making
his proposition. He may have
been entirely sincere-I am try
ing to believe that he was. He
made a pretty good stagger at
the sort of thing wanted him to
do, but I hadn't the least idea he
would do it. To that extent
Hughes surprised me as we'll as
pleased me.
But now to get it through
There is the rub.
Remember Wilson and his
famous Fourteen Points.
When he started to Paris with
the aforesaid Points, he was 60
ing to make a full-grown Millen
mum and bring it home in his
vest pocket.
But didn't he play smash a
it?
Didn't his Fourteen Points
look like purity doggon things
when the military bosses o.
Europe got done settin' down OF
'em?
I'll say they. did.
And that's just what I pre-
dict for Hughes and his grea

don't know what they used 1t
for, but anyhow the government
wanted great oodlins of nitro
gen. So Uncle Sam went to-
work at Muscle Shoals, Alaba-
ma, and spent hundred million
dollars on two big nitrate plants.
But the war ended before the
plants were completed, and now
the government wants to sell
them.
And here Henry Ford steps in.
Henry says:
:s'I'll take 'em.'
And the newspapers tell me
this week that Henry and his
friend Tom Edison are on their
way to- Alabama now on a tour
of inspection. They are taking
all their experts along to esti-
mate the value of the plants and
tell what they can turn out. I'm
just a few weeks from now Hen
ry Ford will actually own and
control the great Muscle Shoals
nitrate plants. Then he will put
his Well-knoWn energy behind
them and go to making fertilizer
out of the air on a scale never
before dreamed of.
Other people will see the pos
sibilities of it, and other nitrate
plants will be built. The whole
country will be dotted with them
and fertilizer will be plenty and
cheap. The raw material is un-
need any moreit f hfor shrdls
limited least it will last long
enough to make the ground so
rich that it will never need any
more fertilizer. And just in
proportion as the ground gets
richer the air will get purer.
Now just think a .mirute.
Can't you see how that will help
to bring the Millennium and to
make the earth an Eden? Just
as sure as you are a foot high
these things are true. Muscle
Shoals is the beginning of a
great new industry that will
revolutionize the life of the
world. And Henry Ford is the
very man to handle it. There
are some things that Henry does
not understand yet, but he GER
tainly knows how to get results
from what he does understand.
| Keep a skinned eye on Muscle
Shoals, Alabama.
The fool-killer., 1921-11-01

He sprung 1t right on the start
in order to make big sensation,
and it is possible that he expect
ed to go behind closed doors and
take it all back. At any rate,
whether he expected to take it
back or not, the chances are that
he will.
Such a proposition as that, put
through in good faith and ac-
cepted by the world, would be a
fine start toward disarmament.
And having gotten such a good
start we could easily go the rest
of the way.
But Europe has sent too
many of her hang-taked bull
dog-faced military bosses over
here. I have before me a Direc-
tory of the Conference Delegates
and their Aids, as published in
the Washington Post. In the
! absence of Lloyd-George, Brit
aims list is headed by :'Bloody
Balfour," and then follows Gen
eral This, CAPTAIN That, and Ad-
miral Something Else, for about
q column. Nearly every name in
the list is a military name.
Then [ come to France and ia
pan and Italy, and they are all
the same way. They didn't
seem to have anybody in those
countries with sense enough to
come to the Conference except
the old calloused-hearted, raw
hide-faced, bloody-handed mill
tary gang.
| Now let me tell you some
thing. This/was supposed to be
la disarmament Conference, -
and that means that it would
! have been an anti-military meet
ing, governed by the spirit of
Ipeace instead of war. It's alleg-
ed object was to destroy mill
tarism. If that was to be it's
object, then what kind of men
| should have been in control of
it? Certainly men of peace
men with human hearts in them
and faces that reflect kindness
| instead of brutality.
| But what do we find?
/ Nothing but brute-faced mill
tary men.
That gives the whole thing
away.
Even if Hughes is sincere il
his proposition, what can hi
hope to do with such a gang az
that?
: Listen! Remember this! Mill
, tary bosses do not attend anti
! military conferences. Imperial
, lists do not congregate where
. liberty is advocated. Interna
t tional politicians do not come t,
5 gatherings which are actuall,
intended to break the power O
! the politicians and give the peo
lple power.
S Even General Foch, the oil
Pappycratic, toe-kissing Roman
4 ist-he had to stick his bill int
= it. Do you reckon Foch wants t.
: end the business that has give
S him such great honors in tn
eyes of the world?
t. Not by a blamed sight!
Then what is he over here for
. Not for any good, [ can te
E you.
n He is over here to receive gol
swords from the Jesuit toe-kis
