In cooking the succulent green vege-

BACK TO SHAKESPEARE.
(From the Rochester Democrat
 Chronicle).

(Fron the Rochester Democrat
 ChronicIe).
 When our forefatherS made provi- sion in the Constitution for freedom of speech and of the press they started something. If there are any downtrodden workingmen, neo-Pro- letariats or embryo Bolshevists who are laboring under the delusion that free speech and thinking have been curbed in this weIl-known land of the free, let them turn their atten- ature in America. They will be en- frightened, to say the least; and bewil- dered, to say the most
 They will find modern American Eberature-and by modern" is meant here anything later than 1919 -de1uged with books on everything. It seems that in America when a person nurses a grudge or is burden ed with a pet theory. he or she writes a. book about it When there is talk of an anti-cigarette campaign somebody writes a novel showing the emptiness of life without cigar cites When a. shortage of aspara- gus tips is threatened, a grocer or farmer or mayhap an author writes a tragedy in which the hero dies of melancholy after his futile attempt to get a delectable plate of aspara- gus tips at his favorite restaurant
 Today, more than ever before, lit erature in this country is being bur dened with a bewildering array of theories, ideas and new forms In poetry we have blank verse, free verse and pseudo verse; hundreds of novels are thrown upon the market yearly as bait, while the authors sit idly on the bank of the stream wait ing for some nice, big, scaly royal ties to hook on at the other end.
 What probably is needed now is little more Shakespeare. Read CTS who have Main Streets and Moon Calfs and Harold Bell Wrights and Bernard Shaws will find it a whole some reaction to read "Hamlet' or King Lear or Macbeth" or any of the others. Long after the eff forts of the present-day novelists | have been forgotten the works of the l Bard of Avon will continue to dom l mate literature
 Back to Shakespeare, to borrow a | word from President Harding, means nothing less than back to normal cy'' in literature

BUSY FARMS, IDLE SHOPS.
(From the World).


 Sharply contrasting conditions of employment are revealed in reports of the rural and urban labor situa- don- On the farms there is plen- ty of work for them but at lower wages Men who left the farm for lure of war wages have returned in numbers Many ex-service men are in the fields, and it is like the good old times" for the farmer, who no longer has to watch his crops rot in the ground for lack of help to gather them. An interesting aspect of the situation is the notable reduc- ton in the number of farms in the West once classified as abandoned"
 More abundant crops harvested at a lower labor cost should mean cheaper food for the consumer with out loss of income to the grower. here will be less incentive to hold wheat for higher prices.
 On the other hand. as against this exhibit of thriving industry on the farms, 100000 men and women wor- kers of New York city are reported as without employment This is nearly one-ffth of the total working force of the city and represents lamentable amount of industrial idle ness. Apparently the back k-to-the- land swing has had no appreciable effect on this element of urban la Dor. It must await the revival Of business for it's general reabsorption. How to place it and provide for it in the interim is a grave problem.

OROwDING THE SEA SERPENT
tFrom the Hartford Daily courant,.

(From the Hartford Daily Courant). has been sighted so far this season. Perhaps it is still a little early but the weather has been hot enough to bring our old friend to the surface and no doubt the frightened and de- lighted visitors at the shore resorts and those who go out to sea in boats for a short distance will soon be re- warded with sight of his ugly head or fascinated by the water churned up by the swishing of his angry tail.
 However, it is possible, that the sight more calculated to thrill will be the pirate ship from Russia that is moving in such a mysterious way it's wonders to perform. If this is so we are certain that for every view of the serpent that is reported on the part of credible witnesses there will be twenty equally credible witnesses who caught a glimpse or the new terror of the deep, long, low and dark, either just before it sub merged or at the moment it came to the surface to cast it's eye about for new ships to capture and sink or to drag away the crew in irons, to hol- shevik Russia TO the elderly skeptic who inquired where such a craft se- cured it's necessary fuel the less cr1- tcal young woman answered that it probably operated by electricity

EVERYBODY SATISFIED.
From Business

A Detroit hardware dealer was carrying an account that was long overdue, the customer having ignored numerous requests to come in and settle up. Finally the hardware man added a fictitious item to the mans bill in his monthly statement, ''To six hammers at S5 cents each, s5-1o."
 A day or two later the man came in, visibly annoyed, and pointed an accusing finger at the statement in his hand
 You've charged me here for half a dozen hammers he asserted, sand I've never bought a hammer in my life-either here or anywhere else.'
 That's funny" said the dealer; ''there must be a mistake somewhere. If you say you didn't buy any ham mers here we believe you. We'll just deduct s5.1o and you can pay the difference"
 The customer acted on the sugges- ton and went away, happy in the thought that he had asserted his rights to a square deal and escaped an overcharge.

His eyes were glued to the ground. Up- stairs, in the chambers of Referee Gleason, he was again face to face with his wife, Mrs Eff Potter Still man the second time in more than a year. Again neither gave the slightest sign of recognition

HOW PEOPLE PICK THEIR

How many banks customers are in- fluenced largely by the manner of the man at the window? And just what does make a. person select one bank rather than another?
 Nearly everybody, even the hum blest of us, sooner or later, has deal ings with a bank Many probably go to a particular bank without knowing why. But even when one doesn't know the reason, there nevertheless is a reason It may be because a bank is so accessible that it represents the especially susceptible to the guidance of friends in making a bank selection The Nations Business

 John L's Terrible Looks.
 John L. Sullivan, you know, usual ly licked his man with a few glaring looks. All John ever wanted as an edge was a good face to face look at a b1oke.
 The night he met Jim Corbett, how ever, he was stumped. Corbett know ing his tricks, hopped into the ring wearing a straw hat. He bowed and yelled to imaginary guys in the audi ence, paying no more attention to Sullivan than if the latter had been a dummy. The proceeding got Sulli- vans nanny. Sullivan was wild, just what Corbett wanted.
 Fred Welsh handed Benny Leonard the best thrill Benny ever got. The last trne they fought, the night Benny was crowned champion the boys met in the center of the ring for instruc- ions and as the referee was about to send them back to their corners after giving them the low down Welsh suddenly piped:
 ''Oh, referee, after I knock Leon ard down each time am I supposed to walk to my corner?"
 Leonard says that remark sent chills up and down his spine. The ordinary dime and dozen slugger would have dropped on the spot

WANTEsD-A CIRCUS GOVERNMENT

The homegrown philosopher was watching the circus. noting with ad- niration the perfect economy of time and motion and expense with which everything necessary was efficiently
 accomplished.
 Gosh" he remarked. @I wish this government could be run by a circus man of the Barnum-Bailey or Ring
 ling Bros. type for about ten years We would have taxes so low we wouldn't notice them, public service would be improved about a hundred and eighty-three per cent, if not
 more. and political scandals would
 be extinct.
 Suppose, for instance, the govern ment had on it's hands the job of
 tearing up this circus outfit and
 transporting it to another town: It would take eleven weeks at the very swiftest, about seventeen million dol lars. four strikes, nine investigations and a change of administration to complete it. The men who started it would have become so utterly disgraced and disliked by the time they had the big top down that the
 head of the government would be enc elected sure The same gang would never be permitted to move the tent again or set up the outfit in another town
 Nov watch those razorbacks take down that iron fence around the ring where the lions have been Der forming. It took them seven min utes by my watch to get down every one of those panels and pile them neatly between rings ready for the next performance.
 Suppose the government had had twice as many men; there would have been at least six bosses and un- der bosses A walking delegate of the cage removers No 'Steen would have come along and examined the label on the overalls of those work men and called the others off the job on the ground that one mans pants were made by a scab shop Gompers would have been summoned hurriedly to the White House to con- suit with the President, and after a time the trouble would be smoothed over, the workman would have a new and union-made pair of overalls, or a man with the right kind of denim bifurcations would be in his place By that time it would be found that one other of the men had been blackballed by a union in Omaha, one time, or that he had voted for Cox, and that the work could not proceed until he showed his union card or left the lot No open shop stuff in this circus! Did the gov ernment want to go on record as favoring the discreditfng of the unions or denying the right to col lective bargaining? Then some con- sressnan would manage to held up the work by act of legislation be cause he had not had his rakeoff from the contractor. The lions would starve to death, the audi | ence get tired and go home and the circus disband before 1he cage could be dismantled and the ring prepar- ed for the elephant stuff.
