ING, is pocketing the loin's share of
what the producers Of the country
are paying for the necessaries of life
The farmer is not interested in
reducing the wages of his best GUS
toner, the city worker, but he is in
lterested in getting a more substan-
tfal part of what his best customer
pays for the things the farmer pro-
duces.
BY the same token, the city work
er has no desire to reduce the
amount the farmer receives for his
products, but he has very vital i'm
terest in getting larger share of the
money paid by the farmer for the
products c. mill and mine.
In word, the city worker and the
country worker have discovered that
their common enemy is the middle
man, and they believe that through
la system of cooperative buying and
selling they can materially reduce
the profits which this nonproducer
has been taking, and in that way in
crease the compensation of the city
worker and the country worker with
out increasing the cost of any of the
recessaries of life.
Naturally the nonproducer does
not like the program, BECAUSE IT
MEANS AN END OF HIS GRAFT.
Therefore through the columns of
his "kept" newspapers he is shout7
ing to the worker: Beware of the
farmer! He is an internal profiteer!
Help us debate him."
At the same time he is saying to
the farmer: "Observe the city
worker in his limousine, arrayed in
a silk shirt and striped trousers. He
is the lad who is responsible for all
your troubles!"
But the farmer remembers how

his credits last year when he was
about to market his crops, and in the
twinkling Of an eye reduced his in
come by seven billion dollars. The
city worker recalls that when the
farmer was debated" the factories
and the mines began to close and five
million city men found themselves
without Jobs.
| With these facts in mind the city
worker and the country worker pro-
coed grinly with the task Of getting
together to the end that our indus
trial system may be made safe for
the producers-for the men and
women who serve society with hand
or brain.-LaboA

WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR
DISARMAMENT?

On November 81, 1918 the Ger
man high sea fleet sailed gloomily
over to English shores and surrend-
cred. On that day the supremacy of
the Atlantic ocean as naval sea
ended. In August, 1920, the powerful
new Pacific fleet of the American
nation sailed through the Panama
Canal and plunged into the waters
of the vast Pacific. On that day the
Pcific Ocean became the seat of the
worlds naval power.
The most ambitious effort of two
centuries to build up new rule of
the seas failed when Germany hand
ed over her dreadnaughts. 1t Is not
to be expected that another Euro
pean power will again ever try SUI
premacy in the Atlantic. There will
not be enough at stake. But in the
west it is different The two shores
of the Pacific loom up in the mists
of the future with such tremendous
potentialities that, il this world is
to continue to be vexed by wars and
rumors of war, at least three nations
must of necessity make the waters Of
that vast ocean reek with the smoke
Of their ba- tie ships.
Either we must have Disarmament
and the probable peace that goes with
disarmament, or we Americans must
make up our minds to ENORMOUS

tinue to present feverish prepara-

called n much uglier name than p0ach-
err; but yet this had been Whisper
foot's record. on and or. ever since
his second year. Many n great buck
wore the scar of the full stroke-aft-
er which Whisperfoot had lost his
hold. Many fawn had croucbed
painting with terror In the thickets nj
just a tawny light on the gnarled limb
Of pine. MANY n doe would grow
great-eyed and terrified nj just his
strange. pungenf smell on the wind.
He yawned ngain. and his fangs
looked white and abn0rmally large In
the moonlight. His great. green eyes
were still clonded and languorous
from sleep. Then he began to steal
up the ridge toward his hunting
grounds. II was curious thing that
he walked straight In the face of the
soft wind that came down from the
snow fields, and yet there wasn't
weathercock TO be seen anywhere. And
neither had the chipmunk seen him
wet paw and hold II up. after the
approved fashion Of holding up a fin
GER. He had better way OF knowing
IA chill at the end Of his whiskers.
The little. GREATNESS night sounds
in the brush around him seemed TO
madden him. They made a song to
him. n strange, wild melody that even
such frontiersmen as Dan and Len
nox could not experience. A thousand
smells brushed down 10 him on the
wind more potent than any wine or
lust. He began 10 tremble all over
with rapture and excitement. But un

came oct OF his brush-covert when the
moon rose. II was not his usual rising
time. Ordinarily he found his best
hunting i'm the eerie light OF the twi-
light hour; but for certain reasons,
his knowledge OF which would be ex-
tremely difficult To explain. he let this
time 90 by in slumber. Whisperfoot
had slept almost since dawn. Ii Is
significant quality In the felines that
they simply cannot keep in condition
without hours and hours Of sleep. In
this matter of sleeping. they are in
direct contrast 10 the wolves, who
seemingly never sleep nj all. unless it
is with one eye open, and in still
greater contrast TO the king Of all
beasts, the elephant, who is said TO
slumber less per night than that great
electrical wizard whom all men know
and praise.
The great cat came out yawning, as
graceful n thing as treads upon the
earth. He was almost nine feet long
from the tip of his nose TO the end of
his tail. and he weighed as much as
many a full-grown man. He stood and
yawned insolently. for all the forest
world TO see. He rather hoped that
the chipmunk, staring with beady eyes
from his doorway. did see him. He
would just as soon that Woof's little
son, the bear cub. should see him tod.
But he wasn't So particular about
Wool himself or the wolf pack whose
song had just wakened him. And
above all things, he wanted TO keep
out of the sight of men.
For when all thugs are said and
done. there were few bigger towards
in the whole wilderness world than
Whisperfoot. A good many people
think that Graycoat the coyote
could take lessons from him in this
respect But others, knowing how a
hunter is brought in occasionally with
almost all human resemblance gone
from him because cougar charged In
his death agony think this is unfair
to the larger animal And IL Is true
that n full-grown cougar will some
times attack horned cattle, something
that no American animal cares TO do
unless he wants good fight on his
paws and of which the very thought
would throw Graycoat into spasm;
and there have been even stranger
stories, IL one could quite believe
them. certain measure OF respect
must be extended to any animal that
will hunt the great bull elk, for to
miss the stroke and get caught be-
meath the churning. lashing, slashing,
razor-edged front hoofs Is simply
death, painful and without delay. But
the difficulty lies In the fact that these
things are not done In the ordinary,
rational blood of hunting. What an
animal does In its death agony, or to
protect It's young. what great game II
follows In the starving times OF WIN
ter, can be put to neither Its debit
nor its credit. A coyote Will charge
when mad A raccoon will put up
wicked fight when cornered. A hen
win peck at the hand that robs her
nest. When hunting was fairly good,
Whlsperfoot avoided the elk and steer
almost as punctlliously as he avoided
men, which is saying very much In
deed; and any kind of terrier could
usually drive him straight up tree.
But he did like to pretend to be
very great and terrible among the
smaller forest creatures. And he was

PLANS UNDER WAY
FOR MODERN STORE
AT CAMP GROUNDS

Thomas Hill, former well known

Main street, has come back" into
the business life of Ashland. With
the purchase of the c. j. Foster
residence and Park store at the cor
ner of Granite and Pioneer streets,
Mr.. Hill has launched plans for the
construction OF a cement store build
ing to replace the wooden structure
now at the entrance to the auto
camp grounds. The purpose of his
enterprise is to supply what is felt
to be an urgent need for IA modern
store to supply auto campers with
food, auto accessories, gasoline and
other travelling necessities.
MIR. Hill purchased the grocery
stock of the Park store from Sam
Saunders, and the store property
from Mrs. Elgin, Doris, Calf Pur-
chase of the Foster residence was
made through a separate deal.
A definite day for starting con-
struction of the new building has
not been decided on. When complet-
ed it will have a large storage plant
on the first floor. The second floor,
flush with the roadway, will be en-
tirely given over to complete stock
of groceries, auto supplies and other
incidentals in demand at the camp
ground. An up-to-date gasoline and
oil service will be installed at the
entrance of the store, near the bridge
leading to the park. 1t is planned
