10 CON- Iron MEN. AGAIN.

The roor old silve- dollar Is TO come back, at
least fer season. Uncle sam is TO resume turning
silver bullion into iron men, mint the white metal
into cart wheels" The 1921 vintage will be the first
placed in circulation since 1905. You may have
noticed the absence Of any real. new. shiny ones.
These coins are authorized under what is known
the Pittman Of 1918. Under that the secre-

IN India
The same act provided that enough silver should
be purchased replace the dollars broken up and
sold. The law provided that the government should
pay dollar for this silver, though the
market price right now is but about 90 cents.
These new silver dollars will be coined in the
Philadelphia mint, and they will be circulated
through the banks. While they bright and shiny
it is possible that people will carry them around but
it seems there Is aversion to them. the public

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE REFERENDUM
AND DAYLIGHT SAVING.

have gotten out judging from the correspondence
that have been publishing with reference to day

some Of it's critics fair impartial, and will
ing TO accept the popular verdict, as the Chamber
OF Commerce is, "a moro definite feeling Of the pub
lie pulse would be available, The public wants might
be more definitely obtained. and there would be less
acrimony We are saying this without taking sides
in the controversy too.
The Chamber of Commerce called upon by the
city fathers to state its position the daylight
saving" question. has done the only thing that it
rightly could has tried find where its
membership stands so that it give definite
answer. no. the board OF directors did not meet
and decide for the membership; it sent out a ref
erendum ballot to each member, stating the pur-
pose but without comment or taking sides ask
ed them TO help make the decision for the board.
We take it that membership in the Chamber Of
Commerce does not cancel a mans citizenship;
therefore ne has as much rght to express opin-
ion on the subject as any other citizen, and if he
wishes 10 express it through the Chamber of Com
nnerce he is no less good citizen than II he chose

had been named secretary OF state by Prest John
Quincy Adams whose election had been made pos

Randolph denounced the appointment of Clay as
the offspring of a corrupt bargain and hurled some
deadly epithets as statesmen knew so well how 10

I MUSTN'T FORGET.

I MUSTN'T FORGET.
1 mustn't forget that I'm getting
old,
That's the worst thing ever a man
can do.
must keep in mind without bein'
told
That old ideas must be give way
TO new.
Let me be always dpon my guard
Never a crabty old man to be,
Youth is too precious to have it
marred
BY the cranky whims Of man like
me.
I must remember that customs
change
An I've had my youth an my hair
is gray,
Mustn't be TOO surprised at strange
Or startlin' things that the young
sters say;
Mustn't keep the bit in their mouths
too tight,
Which is something old people
are apt TO do.
What used to be wrong may today
be right
An it may not be wrong just be-
coz it's new.
Want 'em to like me an want EN-
to know
That I need their laughter an
mirth an song,
An want EN- near, coz I love EN-
SO,
An home is the place where their
smiles belong.
They're CROWN up, an it seems so
queer
To hear them talk of the views
they hold,
But age with youth shouldn't inter
fcre
An l mustn't forget that I'm get

More Truth
Than Poetry
By JAMES ]. MONTAGUE
CRUEL ND UNUSUAL.

NLAAl444 ~ - - 49,
In Russia all plays are propagan-
da for the government. and play go
ing IS compulsory.
The dramatists of Petrograd
Work not for pelf or fame,
Nor do they write with keen delight
Because they love the game.
They do not ply their flaming pens
With rare and noble rage,
When they have caught mighty
thought
To elevate the stage.
They write to boost the government,
And well the wretches know
That If they fail, they'll go to Jail
For thirty days or so.
The critic clan in Petrograd
Do not employ their wit
Wiener they so 20 see a show
In poking fun at it;
Though often they're disposed no
doubt.
To treat the drama rough,
And with a punch express their
bunch
That il is rotten stuff.
Tor If they say just what they think
About the latest play,
Full we'll they wot that they'll be
shot
When breaks the dawn of day.
On Monday nights in Petrograd
The folks that don't turn out
The play TO see, are sure to be
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the knout-
And If they are so indiscreet
AS not TO join the claque'
And don't applaud each tense MY
Gawdl''
They put 'em on the rack.
LIES pretty tough in Russia now,
But that. Of course. must be,
You understand. in any land
That's absolutely free!
