there Is a readjustment in freight
rates or a considerable advance in
lumber values, hardwood production
must be curtailed almost to the
vanishing point" Thus industry is
checked, building is held back, and
more railroad cars are made idle. all

prohibition with the death of Virginia

is bad" There IS no such thing as

JUST FOLKS
By EDGAR A. GUEST.



When 1 was but a little Lad, my old
Grandfather said
That none should wind the clock but he
and so, at time for bed.
He'd tumble for the curious key kept high
upon the shelf
And set aside that little task entirely for
himself.
In time Grandfather passed away, and so
that duty fell
Unto my Father who performed the weekly
custom well;
He held that clocks were not TO be by care
less persons wound
And he alone should turn the key or move
the hands around
enyied him that little task, and wished
that L might be
The one 10 be entrusted with the turning
of the key;
But year by year the clock was his ex-
elusive BIT of care
Until the day the angels came and
smoothed his silver hair.
Today the task is mine to do, like those
who'ye gone before
am a jealous guardian of that round and
CLASSY door
And until at my chamber door Gods mes
senger shall knock
To be alone shall be reserved the right to
wind the clock

notion it doesn't compare with the one
about Cullen Gains palm beAch sur
And having thus created the cfehihs
for it, we shall proceed to relate the
incident.
When, Mr.. Cain, in the course of his
rambling Odyssey, left St. Louis for
the Arizona desert in the late summer
Of 1916 he carried with him a brand
new palm beach suit. Mr.. Cain had.
at that time, the popular conception
of deserts, which is that they are very
warm and uncomfortable places. SO
he prepared to ungird in conventional
and decent fashion and Jared forth
But it was late summer when he ar
rived, the weather was very cold. and
he hung the suit away in a closet until
time as the sands should respond to
the suns piercing glare.
Came spring again, and the image
| of burning days and night reflected
themselves against Mr.. Gains imagina-
ton. He sent the suit to the tailor
TO be cleaned and pressed Since
Mr.. Gains architectural specifications
also had 1t altered. The expense was
considerable. but the situation seemed
to justify it.. However. no burning
days came to the desert that year-it
wasn't that kind of a desert-and Mr..
Gains suit again hung in a closet until
springtime.
Recurring springtime found Mr..
Cain in Chicago. He again sent the
| suit to the cleaner and the presser. A
tailor altered it to conform to the new
| specifications. But Mr.. Cain did not
wear it that summer; the weather was
too cold. He might have worn it
early In June of the following year.
| The town frizzled and fried during the
life of the Republican national con-
vention. But, unfortunately. the suit
was at the tailor's for its annual alter
alton. When 1t was delivered tho
weather had turned cold again.
Last April Mr. Cain sent his palm
beach suit to a Philadelphia tailor for
to annual ministrations. He got it
back last Saturday night. On Sunday
he wore 1t for the first time. On Mon
day it turned cold again.
We claim the Cain story is better
than the Teagle-Lasler story, and we
leave it to you.
We merely observe that Lou Tel
legen is working. You can do your
own connoting.
We don't know how you feel about
il, but we are again desolated. The
midd1eweiaht championship still is in
doubt, and II may be six months or
a year before the matter definitely is
settled.
| The Japanese lost the Davis Cup,
= but they are a wonderful little people.
The reason we know is that we have
heard not fewer than 1877, 900 Ameri-
cans say SO.

were made to run together. I doubt if
one of us can show a dollar the other
can't match; and tho I've got a heap
more hair on my head than he has

Not one lost, while I have to eat

In discussion of the effort that is
being made in the direction of re-
adjustment of wages for the purpose
of making them conform to existing
business conditions. Samuel Gompers
is quoted as saying to his followers:
''It is better to resist and lose than
not to resist at all. because if you
don't resist you encourage the en-
ployer in the idea that you can't and
won't resist" The result of following
Mr.. Gompers's advice may be seen in
Chicago where both the packers and
the building contractors have declared

"It is gratifying to note" said S. w.
Straus. that an era Of active home
building has been inaugurated in this
country. In all parts of the nation re-
ports indicate that the construction of
small houses is going forward ex-
tensively. While many of these homes
are being built for purely investment
purposes, the fact remains that thou
sands upon thousands of Americans
are building homes of their own to-
day" If a wave of home building
has started in the east, the fact is
welcome, but the oncoming tide has
not yet reached Topeka.

Farmers and stock raisers are not
alone in suffering from high freight
rates. ''The American Lumberman"
calls attention to the fact that ex-
cessive freight rates practically pre-
clude shipment of low grade lumber,
especially hardwoods. For example.
it says a Louisiana hardwood manu-
facturer recently shipped a carload of
hardwood to an industrial consumer
in the Chicago district. and. after the
freight was deducted, he realized just
1856 for the entire carload Another
Louisiana hardwood manufacturer
shipped a similar car Of low grade
stock to st. Louis Mo, and. after
paying the freight. found that he had
left about 81 a thousand to cover the
cost of the standing timber, the cost
of logging, manufacturing, selling and
all the overhead expense incident 10
producing lumber. AS normally be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 feet of lum-
Der OF this character is loaded in a
car. this particular manufacturer
realized only between fifteen ami
twenty dollars above the freight.
"That no manufacturer can continue
