less, -mouthed. Has God changed
His mind 2,
Out rushed from the holy Of Holes
back of the pulpit the husky twister
of Gods tail. Down he fell on his
knees before the High Priest. A ter
rible confession: the second twist was
too powerful. Gods tail was twisted
completely off Gods hide.
How are the people now to hear
His voice?
But what is that? The people are
on their knees, mopping the floor
with their foreheads and praying. The
High Priest understood.
In the twister's hand was the tail
Of God. The people saw the tail, ana
their imagination made them see God
Himself in front of His TAIL
That saved the day. The High
Priest cried: "Arise! A miracle has
happenedW The congregation jumped
up. The High Priest waived Gods
tail and said: "Apis is so pleased with
what we are about to do, He lends us
His tail in token Of approval.
The people chanted the great hymn:
"Praise to Apis,
Whom no God surpasses.
Praise from lords and
Praise from pigs and asses"
When they had hymned themselves
hoarse and fell silent the High Priest
lifted up Gods tail again and preach
ed this crushing sermon:
"Hear, 0 people, and give ear, O.
multitude: for Apis hath spoken. AS
| smite with this tail of mine fly
upon my flank, even so will / smite
those who hearken not unto the
priests, my servants, and bow not to
| the decress of Rameses and his noble
advisers"
A rustic Of garments. A thud Of
knees against the floor. The strains
of the national anthem:
Egypt over everything!
Egypt, of thy might we sing.
Lords of Egypt, rise to Glory!
Apis save our gracious King"
Back in the Holy of Holes priest
was sewing Gods tail back unto
Gods hide. The stitches hurt. Gods
voice filled the temple. The, people
rejoiced.

How happy were the people Of an.

Democracy.
And God took it all in as He
munched His hay in the Holy OF
Holes, now shaking His head up and
down, now switching His tail right
and left-His divine tail, which played
such a great part in the history Of
Egypt.
Through His tail came His voice
whenever the rulers Of the land found
it necessary to let the people heal
it. The High Priest would speak or
the subject and wind up with: ut is

A long pause, during which husky

Won't You Help !?
By SANFORD HAMILTON.

Workers, children of America,
Won't you help your Russian comrades 2
Children just like you, who haven't
Even slice of bread day.
Can you eat without thinking
Of your starving Russian comrades?
Can you play, enjoy the sunshine
While your comrades die of hunger?

Rest till you have done your share!

in the working class are unreservedly
for bearing with present bad condi-
tions and for fighting the thing
through to final victory. And they
know that this can only be done by
staying in the work shops and help
ing to satisfy Russia's crying need
for life necessities, need which must
be satisfied or the revolution will
surely fail. They look upon slackers
who go on strike with about the same
contempt that good trade ui,ions in
capitalist countries do upon weak
kneed workers who sneak back to their
jobs during industrial struggles.
Such is the natural and justified
basis for the anti-strike sentiment in

BAYARD FOR MAYOR

The announcement that Thomas +.
Bayard has consented IL enter the
race for the mayoralty of Wilmington
should delight the Democrats of that
qity in like proportion that it should
dismay their Republican opponents.
With the Republic party already split
into factions, and the independent
voters eagerly looking forward to the
opportunity to show the e. o. p. lead
ers what they think about the defeat
of the city charter bill at the recent
session of the Legislature, it does look
as though our Republican friends are
going to find il pretty rough sailing in
the coming municipal campaign in Will
mington.
With a man Of the high type repre-
scented by Thomas +. Bayard to head
their ticket, and a demoralized, wrang
ling enemy opposing them. nothing
short of a miracle can prevent sweep
ing Democratic victory at the polls at
the city election in June. And the re-
suit OF the Wilmington city election

of the State election next year.

DEEDS. NOT WORDS DESIRED.

President Harding. in a speech which
h, made 10 the soldier patients at the
Walter Reed Hospital in Washington.
THURSDAY promised that this nation
would prove its gratitude 10 them for
their sncrIhces 10y restoring them to a
condition ~ which they could live
a. happily as possible.
Il know tins thought is in the hearts
of the Congress. he stated. and can
assure you 1t is in the heart of the
executive and more. | know it is in the
hearts of the people"
This is the second promising speech
which Mr.. Harding has made at that
hospital Its tenor today was almost
the same as on the first occasion. 1t
chimes in nicely with the talk which
has been coming from Republican head
quarters ever since November il, 1918,
at Il o'clock in the morning. when the
last shot was sent screeching into the
German lines
We grant that Mr. Harding is sincere,
md we believe that he wishes to do
right by these lads, But deeds, and
not words arc desired AT the present
time. Some time ago when the surgeon
general II The army requested an appro-
Yriatior Of $4,000 ,0Oo with which to
