Profiteering
Pirates Eayed
By McCulnber

Washington, June 23--Wartime
''profiteering pirates were flayed
in the senate today by Senator Nc
Cumber, republican. North Dakota
in an address advocating his bill
for giving adjusted compensation
to former service men. The meas
ure, reported favorably by the fl
nance committee, would be an act
not only of gratitude but of JUS
tice, he said.
He estimated that 80 per cent
of former service men would exer-
else their option OF the five plans
indorsed by the American Legion
by taking the 2oyear certificates
which, he said, would really give
service men 40 per cent more than
the cash option. II the other 20
per cent should take cash, Senator
McCumber said the bill would not
entail an annual burden upon the
government of more than two hun
dred million dollars until 1943.
Let a future congress see to II
that in any future war Industrial
stacking and profiteering will be
visited with as heavy a penalty as
draft evasion or desertion." de-
manded he.
Senator McCumber said the wal
administration started out with
the determination to satisfy the
demands of both organized capital
and organized labor and leave the
public to foot the bill, which II has
done and will continue to do, In
exorbitant taxes and extortionate
prices for many, many years to
come"

Letter From Lima, Peru.

Mrs. r. d. Holmes writes interest
ingly from the South American city.
The following are extracts from letters
to her mother, Mrs. A. Thompson, and
her sister, Mrs. Roeber:T -
We had rough voyage from Panama
to Callao, Peru. Callao is on the coast
and has no docking facilities, so pas
sengers and baggage had to be brought
from aboard ship to shore on lighters.
0, how dirty it is here! Never rains,
you know, and the dust is something
awful. We had very little trouble in
getting through the custom house. The
revenue officers hardly opened our bag
gage, and we were glad as we had our
things packed as closely as sardines in
box Lima is about eight miles inland
and is reached by trolley line from
CallaO. The cars, which were of the
two compartment variety from way
back in '76, pretended to represent first
and second class accommodations. The
people look sickly and dirty, and act
kind of fresh, judged by American
standards. SJill our ride to Lima was
pleasant, high mountains rising on
either side as our train crept along. In
Lima quarters had been secured for us
at the Maury hotel, three rooms and
bath. 1t was a most beautiful suite,
elegantly furnished in the most foreign
looking furniture The windows, which
are of the French type, open up like
doors; no screen doors, and no shades
before the windows, but there are two
sets of doors, as it were, wood doors
swinging to and acting in lieu of blinds.
The meals at the hotel are good, and
they ought to be at the rate of SIG 90 a
day. 1t is a good thing it never rains;
a good big American shower would
make of Lima big mudpuddle, for
most of the houses are built of mud
brick, some are painted OIL the outside,
others not. No building here is more
than three stories high. The streets
and sidewalks are very narrow. Meet
ing people, going or driving, we turn
out to the left. The Paseo Colon is a
wide thoroughfare, and in the evening
it looks splendid, not bit like the rest
of the city. They do not serve water
here. | would give hundred dollars
for real glass of water, but wine in
big bottles you'may have as much as
you like. All farming is done by irri-
cation, but their methods are anti
quated. Still the country looks fresh
and nice; it is the rose season here, and
you have never seen such roses as those
that bloom here Times are not any
extra, and we find that things are
pretty expensive.

Where Do Poets Compose?

But do poets ever write in gardens?
Swift, who was by way of being a
poet, built himself garden seat at
Moor park when he served Sir Will
liam Temple, but don't know that he
wrote poetry there. Rather, it was a
place for reading. Pope, in his pros
porous days, wrote at Twickenham,
with the sound of his artificial water
fall in his ears, and he walked to take
the air in his grotto along the Thames.
But do poets really wander beneath
the moon to think their verses? Do
they compose ION summer eve by
haunted stream? I doubt whether
Gray conceived his "Elegy" in an actu-
al graveyard. I smell oil. One need
not see the thing described upon the
very moment. Shelley wrote Of noun
tains, the awful range of Caucasus, but
his eye at the time looked on sunny
Italy. Ibsen wrote of the north when
living in the south. When Bunyan
wrote of the delectable mountains he
was snug inside a jail.-Charles s.

a mobile power unit which can
be moved about where it is need
ed and to offer q few suggestions
for the wide variety Of uses to
which tractor can bo put. BY
using his ingenuity, he can find
scores of other ways of using the
power which he has at hand in
his tractor"
