will be added which will be paid by the ultimat'
consumer on every purchase made with tn
possible exception of the original sale of farm
products by the farmer himself.
In the meantime the banks of the countr.
will be called upon to temporarily finance tn
government until the money is realized from
these various forms of taxes, which will meal
that the money that ought to be going int
business and industry to start the wheels goin:
once more. thereby furnishing work for thu
unemployed. will be tied up to help finance th'
government just as it was during the war wher
Liberty Bonds were being put out every few
months.
President Harding's administration is COM
mitted to legislation to compensate the veterans
Ut the World War. In all fairness they ere
entitled to a bonus or an equivalent. OF course
MONEY can never repay the soldiers for whal
they did. No price can ever be placed on
patriotism, The vast majority of the soldiers
offered their lives freely and willingly. A CRATE
full government cannot forget. The govern
ment will not forget. any more than it has
ever forgotten what the veterans of the Civil
War did.
But just at present the one great need is to
get back to normal, to start industry and to
revive business. Every honest ex-service man
will agree that a good job is to be preferred
TO any bonus that the government may give.
But there is no reason why he should not have
the job and the bonus besides. However. for
the good of all concerned the job ought to
come before the bonus.
1t may not seem so simple to bring about a
business revival as to pass a bonus bill: 1t will
doubtless call for more craftsmanship at Wash
ington to insist that the bonus take second
place, but that is the logical course. Those who
insist upon postponing the bonus will be criti-
cized an condemned; they will be accused Of
.ngratitude and indifference. But any man who
places the welfare of the country above every
thing lse-an that includes ex-service men as
we'll as business and industrial leaders-wil
insist that the financial condition of the gov
eminent be put in order and business be revived
before any additional burdens are put on the
people.
In the meantime, however, there is no excuse
for government neglect of the soldiers who have
been incapacitated by the war. Those who have
been MANNED for lite or are unable to work
because of sickness as a result of the war ought
to be our first concern, and it is only gross
negligence on the part of the government that
these men are not now properly cared for.
Give the wounded man his due by all means.
is first. Next, restore good times by cut
ting government expenses and reducing taxes
su that business can boom once more. With
This done, the ex-soldier will not only have a
lob at good wages. but the country will be in
far better condition to pay him the compensa-
ton that all agree he is entitled to.

RIPPING. RHYMES
BY Walt Mason
WAR Is OVER

WAR Is OtEIb
The war is over and l feel that
all the world should know it; for
profiteers still harshly steal the saw
ings from a poet. How easily the
prices rose in times of war and ter
ror, when we were swatting brutal
foes, convincing them of error! AS
patriots we stood the gam and took
the deadly bitters, thought prices
would be shorn in half when we had
whipped those critters. The vas is
over, but the cost of many things Is
booming, and all our wages We ex-
haust in ultimate consuming. How
easily the prices slid until they
reached the ceiling. when Wilhelm
waved his iron lid. and all the world
was reeling; as easily they should
come down. since now the war is
ended, and Wilhelm's lost his valued
crown, and had his bucksaw mended.
I'm taxed too much for this and that,
for which and those and t'other, for
catnip and for my sacred cat, and
stogies for my brother. The war is
over, and from woe to normally
we're beating. but progress is so
beastly slow we think we are retreat
ing. Progressive merchants wisely
strive to sell things cheap and
cheaper. but profiteers are still alive.

WHY?
WHY Is AN UNMARRIED WOMAN
CALLED A aSpINSTER?-
Copywright. 1920 by
Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.

For the first time in the annals OF
archaeology, the early implements Of
spinning and weaving were found in
the graves uf the Alemanni, at Ober-
fiacht. in Suabia. during the excava-
tions which took place during the mid
die OF the last century. Spdndle-pins
were discovered among these imple-
ments, but the dis;aff did not appear.
though the excavators succeeded j..
locating the perforated rounds of
stone which We're affixed TO the ends
of the spindles in order that they
might revoIve more rapidly.
This operation Of spinning. so in
dispensable in early times, furnished
the legal language Of both Germany
and England with a term to distin-
guish its female line, fusus. and a
memento of its former Importance stiu
remains in the appelation "spinster" !"
Alfred, in his will. speaks of his male
and female descendants by the terms
Of "spear-side" and the spindle
side" and German law students still
divide families into male ard female
by the titles of sword members and
spindle members
The term -spinster." or single
woman. in law. is now the common
title by which an unmarried woman
is designated and the connection with
the ancient and almost lost art of
spinning BY hand is sufficiently close
