Count of the Shepherds.
Mysterious Numerals I'm an Ancient
Rhyming Score.

To TtsE New YoRK HERALD: The mys-
terious numerals from one TO twentt
are the so-called rhyining score derived
from the Welsh tongue. Shepherds In
the north Of England used this rhyming
score-the Welsh numbers from one TO
twenty--when counting sheep.
When the heather Anglo-saxons con-
quered the lake country In northern
England they gave II the name of Cum
ber-land. land of the cymry or Welsh.
Welsh shepherds survived IN this region
In subsection TO the English. and nat
urally counted their sheep in Welsh.
From Cumberland the riyining score

posed to have magic worth, spread

Through his own native grit and

tenant ALEXANDER PEARSON. Jr.. has
made his way out from the wilds Of
western Texas, where he was lost for
several days after the engine of his
airplane went dead. For this every

Gompers on Unemployment.

SAMUEL GoMrERs, president Of the
American Federation OF Labor, keeps
on pounding his anvil of clamor on
what he says the captains Of industry
and masters of finance are doing TO
lower American standards of living by
cutting wages or shutting up shop with
the suspension Of payrolls. He de-
clares that for 100000 wage earners,
as he estimates them, TO be idle in this
country "is an Indictment against our
civilization and our democracy"
For 100000 or 100000 able
bodied, willing workers to be without
employment is a bad thing for every
body. 1t Is as bad for the industry
which must rot away as for its en-
ployees, who must go forth TO seek
work elsewhere, something the plant
itself cannot do. 1t is bad for the
country, which cannot have part Of
its productive machinery and man
power idle without drain of its
economic strength.
But IL an indictment lies against
anybody for these grievous conditions
II lies against those. employers or
employees, that were so infatuated
with war prices and var wages as 10
dream they could be continued per-
force even after the war was over
and the public was done with paying
them.
GoaiPERs, who is blatant but not
blind, has brains enough to know,
though not frankness enough to say 1t,
that WREN an article cannot sell be-
cause IL has too much cost and too
much price in IL, IL cannot go on being
manufactured. He knows. as well as
he knows his b cs, that when our
goods get driven out of competitive
foreign markets because they are too
dear the wheels turning out those
goods for export must stop. He knows,
as we'll as he knows his b cs, that
when our goods are so dear that even
American consumers will not buy
them those high costs kill our own
business here at home. He knows, as
we'll as he knows his q b cs, that our
mills and factories stopped because
they could not sell their product. He
knows that what made the goods un-
salable and what stopped the wheels
was In large part his own insistence
that production costs must not come
down ii this meant wages must come
down. He knows that production
costs could never come down TO
amount to anything unless labor costs.
which are the lions share Of produc-
ton costs, came down from war in
flation heights.
SAMUEL GoMPERs doesn't want the
mills and factories to resume any
more than their owners and managers
do. He doesn't want them TO be run
ming full time any more than they do.
He doesn't want all American wage
earners to he turning out goods-sala-
BILE goods-any more than they do.
But SAMUEL GoMPERs doesn't help i;
he hinders. While he has ranted
against the economic readjustments
which, including wage readjustmsnts,
alone can quicken our industry and
restore the pnyrolls, the mills and
factories have had to shut down as
the bread line formed.

ARTICLE II CONTINUED
A Brief Sketch of Some of the Main
Facts in the History of Columbus.
182l-1840.

Our last article closed giving the
boundaries of Lowndes County. from
Rowlands article in the Cyclopedia
Of Mississippi History. These further
facts on Lowndes county and Colum-
bus, are taken from Keeler's Almanac
OF 1852: "The western portion of the
county is principally prairie. The
estern portion of the county is com
posed of sandy land. The eastern por-
tion was settled first and is the most
populous. The town of Columbus is
in the center. The Tombigbee river
is he principal river of the county,
passing through it enthusiastically
into Alabama. 1t is navigable for
steamboats, several months in the
year, 100 miles above Columbus. Its
largest tributaries, in Lowndes, on
the east side are the Buttahatchie, or
pretty River" and LuXapalila, or
Floating Turtle" both rising in
Alabama, and flowing in a south
western course about rs miles. The
Luxapalila reaches the Tombigbee
about three miles south of Colum-
bus. The Oktbbeha, of nearly the
same size, flows into the Tombigbee
from the West. The Oktibbeha, or
Fighting Water" was the boundary
between the Choctaws and the Chick

asaws In consequence of the sale of
the Choctaw and Chiekasaws lands in
the county, it has increased rapidly
in population and wealth within a
few years. The Military" in con
nection with the Robinson Road" is
the great highway through t from
northeast to southwest. Some stray
Cling settlements were made in
Lowndes as early at 1917. The first
court was held in Columbus in 1880"
Just here, we should like to say a
few words about Keeler's Almanac
itself. 1t was of more than passing
to linger with it, Numbers
examined ran from the 40's to, and in
1860. Some we'll known AL
are classics. This almanac,
it seems, may be placed in that class
Like all almGtacs, it deals with mis-
matters. Besides the sub.
iect matter always expected in such
literature explanations Of the signs
If the Zodiac, calender, time or ris-
ng and setting Of the sun, rising of
he moon, equinoxes, eciipses, comets,
tic, many other subjects are taken up.
There are lines of good advice like:
Live within your Means Owe no
nan anything" The readers are told
low and when and what to plant; re-
eipts are given also. In every num-
,er, there is some historic material of
urrent interest about: the United (.

Reduction in Ore Freight Rates.

Concerning the reduction in ore
freight rates which goes into effect
next week the Iron Age has the
following in its lest issue:
The reduction of % per cent in
freight rates on iron ore from both
lower lake ports and the seaboard,
effective Oct. 20, means little to
the steel trade except as it may
point to lower freights on coal
coke and possibly finished mater
ials.
While there has been much call
from iron and steel producers for
lower freights as a stimulant to
business, fear is now expressed in
the same quarters that buyers may
be encouraged by the reduction on
ore to wait for similar action on
