DEAR OLD PALS

Once again Of you I'm dreaming,
Dear old pals / used TO know,
And ! see your faces heaming,
As in days of long ago.
Not line is in your faces,
Still your eyes are very bright.
Dear old pals Of old-time places,
Wonder where you are tonight.
Some Of You perhaps are living,
Still where once we used to play
To the world your talents giving,
Working, hoping by day.
Some of you with crowns adoring,
Now are in the homeland bright,
Dear old pals Of life's glad morning,
Wonder where you are tonight.
MANY months we have been parted
Many trials we have borne.
Since together, happv-hearted,
PLAYED we in life's cloudless
morn.
MANY years your. smiling faces
Have in nnemory been bright,
Dear old pals Of many graces,
Wonder where you are tonight.
Some time when we cease to wander,
When we all have nassed the tomb,
How ! hone we gather Wonder,
In TIE brighter. better~hnme!
How ] hone to see YOUR faces
GLOWING in that blessed light.
Dear old pals of old-time places,
Wonder where YOU are tonight.

BIG PROFITS IN BOOZE

BOotleggers made profits totaling
nearly one billion dollars last year
it has been estimated in Washington
on the basis of internal revenue bu-
reau reports showing that approx
mately 30,000,000 gallons Of liquor
were withdrawn from bonded ware
hohses last year.
Between 200 million dollars and a
half billion dollars of this should be
paid to the government in income
and excess profits taxes. So far as
tax records show no profits earned
by bootleggers were reported or
paid in taxes. Taxofficials are look
ing longingly at the gross profit Of
bootleggers last year, which was
equal to the amount the government
paid in interest on the entire war
debt.
The new commissioner of the bu-
reau Of internal revenue, it is sug-
gested, may discover a way to col
lect the tax. Many officials regard
the possibility of collecting the boot
leggers' tax as really worth while.
Others scott at the proposal Boot
leggers who made a return, even
though the returns were camou-
flaged, would be Immediately open
to prosecution for violating the Vol
stead law, it is pointed out.

England, France, Belgium, ana

at Madrid TO control the conference

master General, charged here today

delegation at the conference, has

International News Service.
REVENUE THEIR AIM.
The purpose of this coalition. accord
ing TO Praeger, was TO prevent the uet
ega>es from the Western Hemisphere
from having much of voice IN tue
conference. II was the idea OF INC
delegates from the countries FORMING
the coalition, he said, TO bolster up
their countries treasures throush
postal facilities. In other words, ne
added. postal revenue was their
thought rather than postal service
When he found out this coalition
was determined TO run the conference,
Praeger declared he called together all
the delegates from North and Soutn
America, with the exception or can
ada: and formed the Pan-American
Postal Federation. Spain was includcn
in this federation because OF thal
country's friendliness for the Latin
American countries.
Twenty-three countries are members
OF the federation and II is planned 10
make II a model postal union. with
headquarters in Madrid. Under postal
treaties 1t will make IT possible Tor
American business men to send their
letters circulars, catalogues and news
papers to any country embraced In
the federation at the same postage
rate paid in this country.
The members of the Federation
voted solidiy in the conference, ana
on three different occasions, with the
aid Of few European delegates. they
defeated the coalition on important
questions before the conference.
OPPOSE WOMAN INTERPRETER.
The four-country coalition was not
the only obstacle encountered by inc
American delegates, according 10
Piaeger. Trouble arose at the outset
when Mss Elizabeth Lee Woods, an
American citizen who speaks spanish
tuently, attempted to enter the con-
ference as Spanish interpreter Tor
the American delegation.
Former President De Coppet. OF
Switzerland. intcrposed strong objec-
lions to her appearance, saying neVe'
before in the history of these con-
ferences had woman taken any
part and he was opposed TO having
women participate in any capacity
P!aeger thereupon cabled Postmaster
General Burleson to make Miss
Woods member of the American
delegation. The postmaster general
immediately cabled her appointment
and gave her the title of attache In
cha rye OF Latin. Amer lean affairs.
Miss Woods did valuable work at
the conference. according to PraeSer.
and made il apparent to some of the
European delegates, and particularly
De Coppet, that women are an i'm
portant factor in American affairs.

FIRST FAIR
is PRONOUNCED SUCCESS

Despite the fact that the county
fair opened next day. the first Cedar
edge community fair was a decided
success, if one may judge from the
attendance the enthusiasm and the
agricultural exhibits.
In Exhibition hall were to be found
an unusual collection of products, in
Guiding practically everything grown
The object of the meeting was to
determine the possibilities for CONF
munity exhibit at the county fair,
and the effort was evidently satisfac-
tory. as these same products We're
taken to Hotchkiss fair on the follow
ing day
The ball game between Eckert and
Cedar Mesa was a revelation. At the
end of the sixth inning it looked like
success for Eckert as the score stood
. to in their favor.
Red Hall pitched for Eckert and
Ament for Cedar. and both were do
ing splendidly. the crowd roofing IN
no uncertain terms for their respec-
tive teams. Eckert scored another
in the seventh and when Red Hail
went into the box for Eckert he must
have got knot tied in his pitching
wing. or something, for the Cedar
bovs opened up a volley OF hits that
couldn't be strangled until they had
passed four men over the plate.
Eckert got worried in the eighth and
scored goose egg. and again the
INK worked for the mesa boys and
six more men raced over the plate
Tho visitors came back with two in
the ninth. and the misery ended, IL
to 6.
In the last inning Ray Nichols

OVER TWO MILLION FARMS
HAVE AUTOMOBILES, BY HECK!

And not all fiivvers, either. Ad-
vance sheets of U. S. 1920 Census
swears to these returns-a total of
2146,512 automobiles or more than
332 machines for every 1000 farms
Pessimists who bemoan the poor
farmers inability to come back with
rush of prosperity had better paint
their blue goggles pink. The farmer
is right there fellows, and while
he is just now in too much of hurry
TO sell his crop at low figures to get
ready cash, you'll find the farmer
right at the bottom of the reconstruc-
tion boom we all believe in.
And this years farmer is a much
speedier citizen than ever before be-
cause he is well-motored and has rub
Der wheels under him. Do you know
that two out of every 100 farms in
the United tSates have motor trucks
today? There are now 139.169 such
trucks
Pennsylvania leads with 9,372; New
York has 9,259: Iowa. $50: Ohio
1913: Nebraska. 6,54S: California. e.
416. and Illinois 6.154, to name few.
Besides. there are no less than 246.-
1870 tractors in the field. making 3S.2
tractors for every 1000 farms. The
mule power farmer of the "one-hoss"
shay is the one you see in the movies.
but the fellow who is going to give
backbone to our coming era of pros
perity is a high-powered machine

plenty of pep and speed. comments
