Our land was thrilled with high ro-

Our soldiers marched to meet the foe
And save the world; the soil OF

Shed in the cause they battled for,

Once on a time we had war!
The sacrifoial spirit died
And while the world cried out for
aid
We held aloof, we stood aside
Talking Of stocks and bonds and
trade;

Open Shop a Snare, Says

The open shop movement, as coun-
tenanced in the minds of those pres
ent day leaders who advocate it, is
fundamentally lie and opposed to the
best interests of the oragnized worker.
The open shop Idea surrounds itself
with a lure Of promises, but it does
Dot come out directly and tell to what
degree 1t will recognize the collective
bargaining rights of the trade union
man.
It is snare and aimed intention
ALLY to undermine organized labor.
Labors Duty.
On the other hand. labor must
awaken to its growing sense Of re-
Isponsibility If it expects respect and
the insurance of public confidence.
BY this mean that labor must re-
|nounce a very late practice which has
become noticeable and to some degree
responsible in detracting from labor's
prestige, in lessening production or
minimizing it to a great extent.
Labor must get back to it's former
position of rendering a full days work
for full days pay, for such rever-
sal of attitude has been made very
necessary, owing to the public's de-
cline of reliance in labor's tactics.
1 see but little opportunity for a
cure-all for the obtaining unemplyo-
Iment situation save in the stimulation
to business generally which might fol-
low il public works were engaged upon.
Rise Next Summer.
The present depression will not lift
until some time next summer, possibly
from three to. four months after the
opening of spring.
Prosperity and depression have the
same relation in their progress to a
rolling SNOWFALL.
If one industry shuts down others
follow suit. If one or a group of busi-
nesses pick up. the effect is felt all
along the line.
To me it seems as though the gov
eminent should take the first sep
out. of the rut, not only the national
but the state governments as well, by
promoting needed public improve
ments, and thereby encouraging de-
sire to industry.
What is needed most is to rid bust-
ness of it's timidity. Someone must
take the lead.

A DAILY MESSAGE
RY DR.. WILLIAM e. BARTON

| 1t is good for one to travel, and to
learn what people do in other places
and how they do it. But it is not
well to be ignorant Of ones own town.
Most of US know very little about
the important features of the cities
where we live.
An English literary man who has
recently returned to his own country
where it is to be feared he did not
greatly enjoy himself writes in one
of the current magazines:
t'Only foreigners and provincia1s
know anything of the treasures Of art
and architecture that any city pos
sesses. Have you ever seen a Flor
entine in the Uf1izi? or New Yorker
in the Metropolitan Museum? This
may be too extreme a question, but I
am certain that no one ever saw a
Partisan in Sainte Chapelle and it
was not till they heard the other day
that it was about to fall down, that
any Londoners ever entered West
minister Abbey. If, however, you wish
when in Paris to, be sure of hearing
your own language, no matter from
what country you come, you may con-
fidently seek the Louvre"
How often would you visit West
minister town? Probably only when
YOU had out Of town visitors who
wanted to see it. Quite possibly you
wouldnot visit 1t even then. but would
say
you run in and take a look at the
Abbey. The guide-book will tell you
where to find tho things you want to
see. I'll run over to Inc office, and
look over the mail and meet you
somewhere for lunch"
Have you ever climbed Bunker Hill
monument?
Not if you live in Boston!
Some years ago a Boston editor,
wise and good man, visited Plymouth
for the first time. He was so i'm
pressed with the dignity and signif1-
canoe of the National Monument to
the Forefathers that he proposed a
replica of it be erected In Boston for
the benefit of the many scores Of
thousands of people there resident
who could never see it at Plymouth!
They would be more likely to make
the trip from Yakima or Duluth.
Think not that Boston has any
York is the most provincial city on
this continent, as London is the most
provincial city on the globe. But
proud as New York is of New York,
it is protective pride against the
rest of the world rather than an in
telHgent pride in the things that New
York deserves to be proud of.
No one in Chicago ever visits the
stockyards except with friends from
out Of town; but not even with those
friends does he visit the university
or the art institute.
Not very far from where you live
is something notable.
Do you know it?
Are you proud of it as the really
notable feature Of your town.
Every man owes it TO his own town
to know the best that is true of If
and to be proud Of It.
How much do you Know about your
town?
1t is not too late to learn.

Editor Pensacola Journal:
When mass meeting of citizens
Twas called last week to try to put a
little pep into the road building pro-
gram to tighten the unemployment
burden inathe county, the city commits
sioners hurriedly called a meeting, as
they said. for the purpose Of deciding
on the location for the city dockS.
Judging from results of this meeting,
it was more camouflage, to keep them
selves from being ''panned'' at the
mass meeting for the delay in building
the docks.
AS to the merits Of the sites, don't
pretend to know which is best, only as
common sense dictates that 900 feet
of. city property is better than 200
feet of city property and 800 feet at

situation in this city demands that the
commissioners have work started on
this project. The commissioners have
held several open meetings to learn
the sentiment of the people, have had
a mail box" and other schemes for
ascertaining this sentiment, and if
they don't know what the people want,
they never will.
The money is available and for the
benefit of the unemployed and the
community at large; the city commits

What's the Matter With Us,

The. present Industrial depression is
not essentially different from the
cycles of financial and industrial de-
what regular frequency.
1t is the magnitude Of the present
situation that makes the problem so
acute. The fundamental cause is the
same-faulty Judgment on the part of
those responsible for management.
The degree of responsibility for
management that rests on the various
contributing elements concerned in
production varies with each Industrial
establishment.
Bad management means waste-un-
necessary high costs Of production.
This waste is cumulative and finally
becomes too heavy for the productive
processes to carry.
Then comes the crash!
War Production.
During the war economy of produc-
ton was a secondary consideration.
The dislocation effected by war pro-
duction was world wide. A serious
strain has been placed on all the ele
ments participating in the industry.

serve a good purpose if it leads to

basic principles upon which industry.

IF we have sufficient wealth Of in

we can put our material wealth at the

The function of wealth must be SER

In order to eliminate Industrial and

.FOUL-SMELLING GAS
WILL KILL INSECTS
Various Kinds of Seeds Subject
to Injury by Bugs.
Pests May Be Destroyed by Fumiea,
ton With Carbon DisuIphid-
Liquid May Be Placed in Any
Shallow Receptacle.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Many seeds, especially beans, corn,
and lettuce, are subject to injury by
a number of insects, all of which may
be destroyed by fumigation with car
bon disulphid, say experts of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture Carbon disulphid is liquid
that can be purchased in tin cans at
any drug store. When poured into
dish it evaporates rapidly, producing
foul-smelling gas that is heavier
than air. Therefore, in fumigating
seeds, to kill insects attacking them
it is necessary to place the carbon
disulphid on top of the seeds in order
that the gas may sink into them and
reach every part of the container A
tight tin pail, box, or barrel makes an
excellent container for fumfgating
seeds. For tight barrel full of seeds
one-half cupful of carbon disulphid
is sufficient For smaller containers,
use in proportion.
Seeds to be fumigated must be dry,
and if they are in paper bags, the bags
should be opened The gas penetrates
cloth bags easily. The liquid may be
placed in any shallow dish, such as a
saucer or plate, or merely poured on
the seeds. The liquid will not injure
the seeds if poured directly upon them
Immediately after starting the fumiga-
ton. the container should be covered
with several thicknesses Of heavy
paper, or other tight cover, and al
lowed to remain covered from one to
two days. A longer fumigation in tin
pals is apt to injure the terminating
power of the seeds.

it does not pay to spend two dollars

better to remove the well birds and
put them by themselves. In case of
infectious disease the premises should
be disinfected thoroughly.

decided novelty-a complete Ameri-

more so.
The bar is a Jacobean cabinet fit
ted with everything, including liquors,
needed for concocting cocktails. 1t
has decanters, shakers, syphons, a
dazzling array of liqueurs, whiskys,
brandies, sirups, gin and vermouth, in
addition to cigarette boxes and ash
trays. 1t was furnished for Sir Joseph

tel, who forgot nothing.
The only drawback is that it will
take another expert to utilize the ma.

Happiest Of All Boy Scouts

Probably the two happiest lads
in the world today are ]. w. f. Mari
of Aberdeen, Scotland, and N. q.
Mooney of Kirkwall, Orkney, both
patrol leaders of Boy Scouts. Real
adventure has come into their lives,
for they have been selected by Sir
Ernest Shackleton to make with him
voyage of 10000 miles through I'M
charted Antarctic seas in the little
schooner Quest.
When Sir Ernest announced that
he wanted cabin boy for the trip, a
thousand boy scouts applied. The
choice narrowed down to two, and as
the explorer could not decide between
them, he took them both.
Mari, eighteen years old (portrait
herewith), Is a student in Aberdeen
university and football and tennis
player. Two years ago he saved n
young girl at Banff from drowning
and Immediately afterward made u
gallant but Intellectual effort to save
