Well, there many Some OF them go to the
root of the nations prosperity.
Men strike sometimes just quarrel fight 60 to
warbecause they feel like it, Men strike because they

great injustice
In times of general agitation the third reason accounts
and checks prosperity than the
other two together
The writer each week secret report on labor
troubles and their in the Chicago territory.
This is far from complete yet always lists some
seventyve thirty small strikes in progress hereabouts,
with 900 10000 out of work and with twenty-five
thirty little ceners of industry suddenly transformed into
centers of dleness and even poverty
Such small troubles hardly noticed in the newspapers

NEW YORK, Dec. IA prominent
Wall street broker. Just back from
Washington. Is impressed with plan
concerning disarmament and the
Allied debt which was discussed therA.
In brief, the plan provides that In
return for the great saving the United
States would enjoy by disarmament
1t should relinquish all claim to
interest on the debt due from Euro
pean countries as result Of the war.
This broker claims that the saving
would be considerably larger than the
annual interest due us. He claims
that such action would put the
foreign people In a better frame OF
mind for disarmament"
However, when asked what other
nations would do with the vast sums
they would rave through disarmament
he replied: "Oh, that would be a mat
ter to be discussed by the delegates"

THE SHORTEST MONTH

IN the old days when the Roman
sulers had nothing alse to worry
about, they did something to the cal
endar.
And February, it appears, vas a vic
tim. Originally this perfectly good
month had 30 days in leap year and
20 in other years February is from
the Latin. meaning ito purify" 1t was
the custom of the Romans to cele-
brate the festival of publication in
February.
Julius Caesar named July in his own
honor-he say to it there We're 81
days in it. Then along came Augustus,
and month was named for him also.
But August had only 80 days. So Au-
gustus looked around and picked on
February, which had no one particu-
larry 10 defend it. He just took day
off February and added it to his own
pei month.
That's why February ordinarily has
but 2S days, and why August has 81.

the hallowed spots of Lincoln mem

Lincoln's mother. They had preserv-

apart portion of the farm for the
Nancy Hanks Memorial park. All the
corners and hooks intimate with Lin

preserved.
But there was no highway that the
outside world might travel to this
hallowed Lincoln land
