Of butter, but you bet your. life, Sen
ator Boise is keeping track Of things.
If we had a dozen senators like him,
we would have old peace prices back
in no time. / have written to Sen
ator Boise that Samuel ]. Bowser
stands back of him to his last vest
button. / think the senator will be
greatly encouraged"
'And do you think you have helped
matters any?" asked Mrs. Bowser.
Helped? Helped? Why, woman,
I have done wonders! In just writ
ing these letters, believe l have
brought down prices. You can't tell
what influence l have exerted.
have also written another letter to
Senator Knocks, asking him to go
right to work and knock down the
price of bacon. 1 have shown him
that there are just as many hogs in
the country as there ever was, and
the high price of bacon was sheer rob-
berry. By tomorrow I will expect the
butchers will begin to drop on their
prices"
81 hardly expect that" said Mrs.
Bowser, "but there is good chance
for you to see. You are probably
going out this evening, and you might
stop at the butchers and ask
him If there is to be a come-down.
We need some bacon for breakfast.
would do this, before I mailed the
letters, if were you"
Mr.. Bowser took up his letters and
went out. There was a mail box at
the corner, but he did not post his let
tiers. He went on half block to the
butchers and said to him:
Butcher, you have been asking
highway robbery prices for bacon.
You have been asking As cents a
pound. have written to congress
about you. Are prices to come
DOWN."
mfr. Bowser," softly answered the
butcher, II would like to sell you
bacon for ten cents pound, but it
has gone up to 60 cents, and you must
pay it, and congress be hanged!"
Mr.. Bowser repassed the mail box
as he went home, but he did not mail
his letters. Instead Of mailing them,
he tore them to pieces.

It. / have written to him that coal
is $11 ton, and that there has been
more mined than last year. 1t is the
railroads and the coal dealers who
are robbing us, and they will continue
to rob as long as nothing is done.
Coal can be sold at So a ton and
the other So is simply extortion. I'm
going to get Knocks after them, and
the way the pieces of coal will fly
around the United States will aston
ish everyone. If he takes hold of the
plans 1 have suggested, he will solve
the problem in about week. have
offered to go in with him."
"And here is one to Senator
Lodge" said Mrs. Bowser, as she
picked up the third letter.
Eyes, ma'am, to Senator Lodge of
sachusetts-Senator Henry Cabot
LOdge-one of the most prominent
men in the United States today. 1t
was he who first aroused the nation
to the fact that our Monroe doctrine
was in peril. If he hadn't aroused
the people. we would not have had
any Monroe doctrine by this time"
Mrs. Bowser was uneasy for a min
ute, and then she asked:
Mr.. Bowser, / am not totally ig-
norant of politics, but I don't exactly
know what the Monroe doctrine Is"

"Why, it's just as easy as grease"
was the reply. There was chap
named Monroe. and he had good
deal to do with the United States.
He finally got the big head and he
said to Europe that she must not
come over to this continent and
claim anything. He said we owned
the whole darned show and we would
fight to keep it. 1t seems that, in
making the treaty Of peace, Europe
was to get the best of us, and, by
and by, she might have come over
here and sat down on our farm, but
for Senator Lodge. He smelled rat
and he got right up in meeting and
said so. / don't know whether this
country can be saved or not, but If it
is saved, then Senator Lodge will

"And you have written one to the
California SENATOR" said Mrs. Bowser.
Eyes, he is on the right side. He
is keeping track Of the meat ques-
ton, and he will have all the Chi
cago packers in Jail before he quits.
He's mighty powerful man when he
gets started"
"And here is one to the Idaho
senator"
And if it wasn't for him, butter
would be a dollar a pound and milk
so cents a quart. The robbers are
afraid of him. The President goes
right along and never asks the price

Harp Thousands of Years Old.

What is said to be the oldest harp
in the world is preserved at the Louvre
museum in Paris. 1t was found in an
Egyptian tomb, and is nearly 1000
years old. Others dating back 5000
years have been discovered. The
harp was held in such high regard by
the ancient Celtic races that harpers
were treated with veneration and dis
tinction, their lands being free and
their persons sacred.

SOIL TO
LINE HERDS GRAVE
Box Of Earth Accompanies Re-
mains of Unknown Soldier
FRANCE wEEPs AT PIER
Thousands Pay Final Tribute To Lone
"Yank" Symbol Of American
Army-Tribute To
France.

Havre.-America's unknown soldier
is on his way home. After resting
nearly three years in the land where
he fought and died, he began his last
homeward journey on the United
States cruiser Olympia tuesday after
noon.
France, the country where this un
sung fighter fell, is not to be forgotten
at Arlington, as the symbol of the lost
American dead will rest on French soil
in the Arlington national cemetery.
The Olympia carries with it large
box full of the soil Of France, enough
to cover the bottom of the unknown
soldiers grave.
Simple sincerity marked the de-
parture of the unknown warrior, as
did his selection at Chalons-Sur-Marne.
Just before placing a medal of the
Legion of Honor on the casket, Min
lister of Pensions Maginot, speaking
for the people of France declared:
American brother, they are taking
you back to the land of your birth.
We, however, will piously preserve
your memory, and the land of France
will never forget that you confded
to her your last dream"
Three thousand school children
were among the vast throng which
met the funeral train when it arrived
here from Paris. The children lined
the streets and threw hundreds of
flowers in the path Of the cOrtege.
Then they formed on each side of the
gun carriage and escorted the I'M
known warrior to the pier. American
officers, including Major General
Henry T. Allen, a large number of
French officers and citizens walked be-
hind the gun carriage through two
miles Of crowded streets, which were
decorated with American and French
flags.
Major General Allen expressed the
appreciation of America for the touch
ing manner in which France .bade
farewell to the unidentified hero.
Turning to the casket, he said:
"The Great Republic in rendering
you homage is likewise paying tribute
to your comrade in blue who fell with
you and who lives in the hearts of his
countrymen as you live enshrined in
the loving memory of yours. Whoever
you may be, your gallant deeds are
indelibly inscribed in the pages of
history to the glory of your nation.
The parting ceremony was held on
the pier alongside the Olympia. Six
Army pallbearers carried the body to
the gangway and placed it on the pier
where it reposed during the cere-
monies. Afterward six American
sailors and six French "poilus" car
ried the floral tributes aboard as the
American band played Chopin's
Funeral March and the American ma
tional anthem.
AS the order to cast off was given,
the American flag was half-masted,
and an escort of seven French de-
stroyers put to sea to accompany the
Olympia to the three mile line. Air
planes, far above the harbor, waited
to fly over the Olympia as she passed
out to sea.
