THE JOYS THAT GOT AWAY


This life is like a ,ishfc' trip,
Or so it seems to meg
Beside stream we sit and dream
And hope for joys to be.
Of varying sizes are the fish
We've caught at close of day,
But though their meat was good to eat
The best ones got away!
A goodly string Of fish I've caught,
To more than fill the pan,
But always l have passed them by
Just like my fellow-man-
And overlooked the meal they've
meant,
This sorry line to say:
~ should be glad if but had
The ones that got away"
I've caught full many joy in life,
My string of smiles is long;
I've had my share of weather fair
And happiness and song;
The years have kindly dealt with me
And oft have let me play,
But still I've thought | should have
caught
The joy that got away.
Teach me to value what 1 win,
Nor sigh for what miss,
And let me smile and count worth
while
My present store of Bliss;
At last when homewaIh | shall turn
And lifeless lies my clay,
I'll not deplore or grumble Ger
The joys that got away.

OIL RESTRICTION ENDED

For a number of years the theory
of creating naval oil reserves and
having the federal government own
and operate oil wells and ref1neries
was pursued at great expense.
Millions of acres of oil land were
tied UP and oil development of new
oil fields was prevented, and these
activities contributed to the profits
of the big oil companies in restrict
ing production.
This policy has now been aban-
doned and the Department of the
Interior has dismissed all proceed
inga to acquire oil lands in the state
of California for naval reserves in
the Elk Hills district.
Of course, this ruling will govern
in other states where naval reserve
was sought to be established. Ir
most cases the oil companies haC
bought the land from individuals
and had proceeded to develop.
Secretary Fall in rendering his
decision held that title vested in tht
state to the land as non-minera
under former surveys could not be
overthrown. Millions will be in.
vested in new oil production,

TO AID RURAL HOMES

Development of rural homes to
the end that farm life may be more
attractive is provided in 9. bill re
ported favorahly to the Senate by
Senator Smoot of Utah, chairman of
the Senate Committee on Public
Land.
This bill authorizes the Secretary
of the Interior, through the United
States Reclamation Service to make
contracts, first, for the investigation
and later if found feasible. for the
construction of projects for the re-
clamation and development of lands
in private ownership located
throughout the United States. The
proposed legislation is unique IN
that it does not call upon the pub
lie treasury for any funds, not even
for preliminary Investigations or for
the time given by Government offic-
ials to consideration of projects.
First, the estimated cost, and sub
sequently the actual cost, both for
investigations and constructions
must be deposited with the United
States in advance before any eX-
pense is incurred by the Govern
ment.
The Secretary of the Interior is
empowered, after reclaiming and de-
veloping the lands, to provide for
their sale to home seekers, and he is
enabled to limit the returns of the
original land owners to a, reasona-
BILE profit definitely stated in ad-
vance in each contract providing fol

would indicate that the permittees
are taking advantage of the option
to defer payments to this extent. On
this basis the deferred grazing re

President Hardins's Civil Service

President Harding was nomi-
mated at Chicago on a platform,
which declared in most unmistak-
able words for civil service and
for its extension even further
than it had gone under the Will
son Administration.
President Harding, in the Civ
il Service News, contributed a
statement that he would not con-
slider for a moment going back
to the spoils system in politics.
but stood on his party platform
and was personally a strong be-
lever in civil service.
Less than eight weeks after he
is in the White House he has re-
voked President Wilson's order
placing all postmasters under
the civil servive. Under these
orders all postmasters of every
class were appointed by compel.
tive examination, and in each
case the one who passed the
best examination got the ap-
pointment. Under its operations
nearly as many Republicans
were appointed as Democrats
and Congressman invariably in
formed'the people that they had
no say whatever in naming the
postmasters. These regulations
have been wiped out by Harding
and..to deceive the public he says
it isssfor the purpose of having
all men and women now holding
post offices to stand an examine

If there were no other proof of

Great Britain the valedictory

to Great Britain who on the eve
of his departure for his post
yawps about "clinching the nail
already driven into the coffin of
the wretched League" of which
Great Britain is apillar. 1t is
the Ambassador to Great Britain
who cracks his heels and swings
the shilIalah with which the last
few years he has taken many a
savage whack at Britian's prin.
ciples as he whoops, "The war
is won; the League is dead; au-
tocracy is no more; the nincom-
poops being the American friends
of great Britain, including min
compoop Davis, statesman
Harvey is to succeed.
No such vulgar and vicious
performance ever before dis

A Wise Version.

do you recall" says the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, ''the story of
the farmer, who, when he learn
ed that frog legs were regarded
as delicacy and commanded q
good price in city markets, told
the city provision man that he
could supply a million pairs of
frog legs from a pond on his
farm? A short week, later, you
will recall, he presented himself
before the merchant with half a
dozen pairs of frog legs for sale
and upon being asked why he
brought no more the farmer re-
piled: "Well them frogs made a
noise like a million of 'em, but
when drained the pond I could
only find six" That's exactly
the condition that confronts US
today in the business world.
There are few croakers below
ing about calamity and unless we
are careful we may mistake
them for a million. This coun-
try is fundamentally sound and
a few pessimists are not going
to run it on the rocks. Business
is going to be just as good in
1921 as we make it, and it's al

tions will be continued for all
such appointments.
Postmaster General Hays indi-
Gates that instead of the person
passing the best examination be-
ing appointed postmaster he
will be selected from the three
highest in an examination test.
This means of course that in
stead of Democrats and Repub-
licans standing on an equal foot
ing, no Democrat will be appoint
ed unless three of the highest
averages in the examination are
made by Democrats.
President Harding might as
well come out and say he has re-
voked the Wilson order and will
make new regulations which in
nearly every case enable him to
appoint a Republican postmaster.
His action is a step backward in
civil service and in taking this
step he has set aside the spirit
and intention of his party plat
form.
1t is not exactly a return to
the old spoils system, but it
means that if Republican can
be one of the first three in the
examination he will get the Office.
President Harding cannot de-
ceive the public in this way, as
his purpose to get Republicans in
and Democrats out is too obvi-
GUS to deceive anybody.

A Massachusetts, Bill.

A bill has been introduced in

which provides that a fine of S.
90 shall be imposed on every citi-
zen who fails to vote in a city,
State or national election.
There is small possibility that
such a measure will be passed,
but it calls attention to a serious
i'll of the country, namely, the in
difference of many of the best
citizens to the conduct of the
Government. Voting is one of
the first duties of citizenship,
and if every voter would regard
himself as an interested stock

big corporation of ours known as
Government, the evil would be
soon corrected.

SHIP YARDS IN SCOTLAND.
IDLE FOR LACK OF ORDERS

GLASGOW, Scatland. November a..
The market for shipbuilding is SO
poor that no new order to build a
ship has been received at Wallsend-

the yezr. says Sir George Burton
Hunter, chairman of the board of di-
rectors Of one of the big shipbuild-
ing companies there.
A vessel now nearly completed at
sunderland has been sold at a price
less than one-half her cos of con-
struction. Sir George gives figures
showing that it now costs f11.73 for
ton of steel used in a ship, as COM
pared to f3.58 in 1911.
The iron workers. he says, now
handle about two hundredweight of
steel per week less than they did ten
years ago.
Sir George asserts also that wages
are from three to three and one-hals
times those paid ten years ago, when
the amount of work done is taken
into consideration. He says that the
workers accomplish 26 per cent less
work now than in 1911. and he adds:
