WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW.

When the car was new and shin
ey Pa was careful as, could be,
He'd polish up the window glass
each evening after tea,
And if there was finger mark
upon the glossy door,
He'd get piece of underwear
and shine it up some more.
He'd sweep the carpets every
day and oil each separate part,
He'd always rub and shine a bit
before he'd make a start,
And twice a week in rubber
boots and overalls of brown
He'd work for hours so he
might have the cleanest car
in town.
But that was in the long ago,
and now the car is old,
There's mud upon the running
gears and in the manifold.
The axles now are thick with
grease, for Pa declines to soil
His hands or scrape his knuck-
les bare to give it dope and oil.
The bus has lost the shine it had,
its stylish days are done,
Pa doesn't care now how it
looks so long as it will run,
And neVermOre he'll wash the
gears and shine the body, too
Pa says he'll leave that work
for those whose motors cars
are new.

GUN TURRETS INTO FARM
TRACTORS.

Slowly but surely, Isiah's
prophecy as to the coming time
when there shall be no more
y 'ar" is fiji aing fulfillment. Es-
EN-, home Of Krvpp gun, is busy
making steel rseis and mining
machinery. There was much
perturbation recently in Eng
land over a report that the two
big ships shortly to be laid
down-if continued armament
competition is compelled by
American naval policy-ilad
been allotted to private firms
SO as to enable them to keen
their armament plants going.
The Admiralty promptly denied
the report and investigation dis
closes that the Vickers and the
Armstrong;, Britain's leading
armament makers ARE now de-
voting their plants to turning
out sewing machines, mowers
reapers and other useful ma
chinery.
Certain English papers de-
plore the fact thatwhat are ter
med the naval construction
reserves" no longer received
substantial assistance in their
maintenance from orders from
the Admiralty or even from
such profitable erstwhile Gus
toners as Japan, Brazil, Argen-
tina. China, Russia and turkey.
Three-ffths of the British Grand
Fleet was built by private firms
and all the guns, turrets, armor,
engines and boilers came from
that source. :
1t will prove a happy thing
for the world if the element Of
private profit is wholly elimin-
ated from the making of arma-
ment and munitions of war, in
accordance with the provisions
of the League of Nations Cow
enant. Enormous fortunes
have been coined out of the
wretchedness and misery of
the peoples by these armament
firms; but their day is passing.
They may not make such big
and easy money out of fashion
ing farm tractors and harves-
tiers, spinning jennies, weaving
frames and sewing machines; |
but people generally will be hap
pier and more prosperous, and
even the ar1norers will in time
come to feel that there is a
compensation in freedom from
blood-guilt of the money made
out of beating spears into prun-
ing hooks, and swords into
pl0wshares. Speed the day.,

The Avoyelles Enterpris,

The Avoyelles Enterpris.
says:
1.-THE Bible tells us that We
should not judge people, but
very few of us act on that pop
ulation. 1t is true that some
times for business or other pur.
poses, it is necessary to judge
what we can of a mans charac-
ter. But our judgments are not
SO apt to be unjust or wrong,
and when they are repeated to
others, that is where the trouble
comes in. 1t rarely happens
that we are in a position to
judge another's actions fairly.
Unless we live with them close
ly and are acquainted with all
the currents of life that flow
about them we cannot know
the outside influences that are
brought to bear on their actions.
Even then, we can only judge
when our own reactions might
be, with our type of mind, our
traits, and all of these
things in each individual varies
his reaction.
In forming our opinions of
others we should try and take
into account the happenings of
their past life. If we think they
are too gay or frivolous, per-
maps they have never had a re-
'p0nsibility or worry to make
hem otherwise; if they are too
.erious minded, perhaps life has
1ealth them many sorrows and
1isapp0intments which it takes
very long time to live down.
OF all human qualities it
'eems that understanding is the
greatest. The ability to putt
oneself in another's place and
understand his feelings is the
greatest help that one person
an give to another-nOt thei
way you would feel in his place, !
nut 70 understand how he feels,
nth his own peculiar tempera-l
nent. Such is indeed q God
Ike quality, for it is in this way
nat we hope to have judgment
!assed upon us when we reach

issued will be retired within two decades.
 Why would it not be possible, then, for all the allies to arrange for an issue of ninety-year bonds at low in terest rates, as has been proposed in the case of Italy? Payment of the interest could be postponed for an other year or two, if necessary, or until France began receiving in demnity payments regularly from Germany.
 Cancellation is impossible. Were the United States to consent, France could not accept this charity. Its future international credit would be represented by zero sign. It would be handicapped in all foreign finan- cial transactions, either in peace or in war.
 The policy of cancellation was the creation of internal French politics. Governmental leaders over there now must face facts and must take the public into their confidence. France will emerge from it's present difficult ties, as it emerged, though defeated, from the difficulties that followed the conclusion of the disastrous Franco Prussian war.
 It is necessary, however, that some authority should lay the facts of the debt situation before the people of the sister republic frankly and clear ly. If French leaders hesitate to do so, the Harding administration must assume this duty.-Seattle Times.

DEBT CANCELLATION IMPOS-

The debt of France to the United States will not be cancelled. Neither will this government, if it needs the best American financial advice, ac, cept German indemnity bonds in set, tlement of Gallic obligations.
 Even under these circumstances, however, adjustment of all the allied debts is not impossible. This country has no intention of squeezing It's as. sociates in the World war. It never has acted the part of pitiless inter national pawnbroker; it is not apt to commence now.
 Funding of the allied obligations at very low interest rate is feasible It is true the United States borrowed the money 1t loaned Europe at more than per cent; but the bonds 1t

UNCALLEp FOR WEALTH

Comparatively few persons are aware that $60,0O0,000 has been lying in the United States treasury since away back in the 70's waiting for people to claim it. This money was appropriated by congress to pay for many bales of cotton that were taken by the north armies while the war was in progress. When the Southern planters whose cotton had been taken commenced sending in their claims they realized that an unfortunate jok. CT had been slipped in the bill. This joker compelled them to take the "iron-Clad oath of loyalty" in which they were obliged to swear that they had never borne arms aginst the union Of course, they were unable to take such an oath, as they had all either participated in the fighting against the north or were heartily ir favor of that cause. They were therefore, unable to collect a single dollar, hence the money is still in the treasury Efforts are now being made to have this money distributed among the surviving Confederate soldiers The original owners of the cotton are practically all dead.

HOOVER AND COMMERCE

MT Hoover, who met Superbly a host of responsibilities arising abroad during the war, has set himself to carve out new scope of official duties in peace at home. A little while ago, as leader of engineering, he preached a new gospel of co-or- dination and minimizing of waste in the industrial sphere. Now he pur poses a broad piece of refom along the lines of engineering improvement being sought in the field of govern ment
 From the scope of that program, as evidently approved by the president in their recent conferences there need be no more surmise as to whether MT. Hoover would find enough to do in his given cabinet job,-even with all the energy that has already dis turbed Washington doorkeepers.
 Hoover wants a department, of much widened functions, that shall serve and promote, rather than re- strictiVely regulate. Without any more legislation or appropriation, he wants to assimiIate and organize all government activities that have any real relation to commerce, and to can business. By commerce he visions domestic as well as foreign trade,-land transportation as well as sea lanes. He would have the vari- ous industries concerned cooperate with the government in seeking col lective improving of practices and processes.
 The whole problem, under this broadened definition of commerce, he views as a large unit. The United States, as an economic unity, must, be organized to better combined eff ciency in making, selling and handl- ing goods. It must have better all round mechanical processes, labor re- lations, and business and marketing methods. To day it is not overpro- duction but breakdown of credit con nections that imperils it's foreign trade
 AS a matter of fact, going to the source of the problem, MT. Hoover would give his own main attention to mobilizing domestic trade, with first emphasis on transportation bu reau to help the commerce commits sion and the shipping board and busi- ness, and with special attention to possibilities in good roads, water ways, marketing, aviation and wire less.
 This is an ambitious program; but MT. Hoover has the ambition and the organizing skill The various govern mental agencies having relation to commerce have hitherto been dis jointed and scattered, some of them having been under other official juris- diction. Hoover would centralize them for cooperation, and energize them for expansion in service. Both domestic and world conditions offer large opportunity and need for such Nnity and development.
