even to the government which protects
them and their families and pays them
good wages. If half the charges of Mr.
Blanton against this little union are true
there should be a house cleaning in the
department of the public printer. 1t
should be open to unicn and non-union
men on equal terms. There should be a
searching and fearless investigation. Mr.
Blanton's charges should not be ignored
even if he was so indiscreet as to deserve
rebuke for glaring and offensive indis-
cretion. AS long ago as when Mr.. Roose-
welt was President a man named Miller
was driven from employment in the gov
ernment printing department because he
refused to join the union, and outrages OF
that kind have been tolerated there ever
since then. Whatever else may be said
of Mr.. Blanton it is evident that he is not

Mr.. Vernon Kellogg has been associated
with Mr.. Hoover in foreign relief work
for more than six years. He returned
recently from Russia where he has been
engaged in relief work and has told the
Senate committee on foreign relief work
about conditions there. We give a sum-
mary of what he said:
GAN Russia is suffering from famine. !"
Everywhere are refugee camps" "Chil-
dren are being deserted along the roads
by parents" "Food consists, where it
can be had, of horseflesh and bread of
gram and chaff." SIN over six years ex-
perience have seen nothing to compare
with the starvation here" "There are
at least 10000 600 children to be saved
from starvation.'
Mr.. Hoover himself says there are T.
000, 1000 children facing starvation in the
Volga regions, which comprise but a
small part of Russia. Here we have un-
impeachable testimony against Lenine,
Trotsky & Co., and all whom they rep
resent, not only in suffering and dying
Russia, but in all the world.

A Proclamation by the President of the

"That season has come when, alike in

that the President should summon the

may deserve continuance Of Divine
favor.

return of peace, and the approach to nor

Providence will vouchsafe approval to

have guided us, the aspirations which
have inspired US.

serve prosperity, seeking not alone for
the material things but for those of the
spirit as well; earnestly trying to help
others; asking, before all else, the privi-
lege of service. AS we render thanks
anew for the exaltation which came to
US, we may fittingly petition that moder-

do well to pledge, in humility and all sin

We have been raised up and preserved in
national power and consequence, as part

"Whom the gods wish to destroy, they
first make mad" The drivers of milk
wagons in New York City struck a few
days ago. There were about $4,000 of
them. Their wage was S35 week and
many of them had a side rake-off which
made their pay S45 a week. At these
figures their pay for the year ranged
from S1826 to S2356 year. They struck
for an increase of S. week, S26n year.
In three days after the men quit work,
their places, about half of them, were
filled from the ranks of the unemployed.
The strikers then began to throw stones
and milk bottles. The strike has failed
and the wagon drivers union has COM
mitted suicide. Unionized labor all over
the country seems to be bent on self de-
struction. The threatened railroad strike
had the effect of diverting public sympa-
thy and silent support from the strikers.
Many union men are disgusted with a
leadership which in many instances is
imbecile. Paper makers, for instance,
have in many mills been on strike since
May and have lost more than Sc. 000,-
600 in wages and it is said that 30 pei
cent of the men want to go back to work
but fear to do Sc because of Union press
ure.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Cotton mills are said to be running at
nearly full time. The Pennsylva liza rail-
road has increased its employees by about
1000 Reports of building activities
show that more contracts were made
during last October than in any other
month for more than year. The num-
Der of the unemployed has been greatly
reduced. Money is accumulating in the
tiers despite the fact that this is the time
of year when large sums are withdrawn
for the movement of the crops. Interest
on rediscounts by Reserve Banks have
reached the low level of four and one
aalf per cent. An abundance of money
can be had for an enlargement of the
business of the country, at fair rate
Victory bonds reached par a few days
ago and Liberty bonds which in May
1920 sold as low as 3l.10 have recently
been sold for ga. All the above and many
other things indicate that the ebb of the
business tide has turned. Perhaps the
strongest factor which has helped to
carry US through the last year and half
without a financial crash, has been the
stability of our currency. There has
0een no time when our paper dollar was
not worth dollar in gold. While all
the above is encouraging we must not
expect business to boom at present.
Until the tax bill and the tariff bill have
been enacted and until the result Of the
conference now in session in Washington
is known, business men, especially those
at the head of large manufacturing en-
-.erprises, will continue to deposit money
Il the banks instead of putting it into
business.

YEAST NOT GOOD
FOR LAYING HENS
Preliminary Tests by Government
Not Satisfactory.
Egg Production Is Not Increased Be-
cause Birds Soon Tire of the Mix
ture When It Is Kept in
Moist Condition.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Preliminary tests nave been carried
on by the poultry husbandry division
of the United States Department of
Agriculture in the use of yeast as
feed for laying hens, the theory be-
ing that this material was extremely
high in vitamines and particularly val
liable in the dietary Of laying hens.
In the initial Test the yeast was dis
solved in warm water, added to the
mash and the mixture allowed to
stand for "a hours until the yeast had
thoroughly permeated the feed. While
the hens ate this mash fairly well,
with the result that their egg produc-
tiap was slightly increased for short
period, apparently they soon tired Of
the mixture and did not consume 1t
with relish. Subsequently decreased
egg production resulted and the NOR
tality among the fowls which received
the yeast was noticeably higher than
the pens not receiving 1t.
1t Is thought that this mortality
was due to changes occurring in the
mash which developed while it was be-
ing held in a moist condition for the
24hour period previous to feeding,
rather than as result Of the yeast
itself The moist mash was discon-
tinued and the experimental pens
were put on a dry mash containing
one per cent of dried fresh yeast The
condition Of the flock improved mate
rally with this change, and the birds
soon resumed their normal appear
ance, with fair egg production.
However, the egg yield was not
greater than that from check pens
without the yeast. Thereafter three per
cent of yeast which was air and sum
dried and fed in ground condition
was used in the mash without any
perceptible increase In egg production.
These tests in the feeding Of yeast
were not conducted on very exten-
sive scale, not long enough to deter
mine thoroughly its value. The re-
suits were not promising and unless
some better method of feeding the
yeast is found this product is not
likely to be Of much value for laying
hens.

permanent teeth appear at the center;
two more, adjoining, at from twenty
two to twenty-four months; a third

The Bangor & Aroostook is the most

The Bangor & Aroostook is the most
prosperous railroad in New England.
The figures for this year made up to Oct.
l, show that the net income for the
above period was s625,4l6. It's net in
come for similar period last year was
S370,72s. During October, November
and December of this year and the first
three months of next year will be unusu-
ally profitable because it is the shipping
period for more than 20. 900, 900 bushels of
potatoes. Few people realize the mag
nitude of the business which the trans-
portation of Aroostook potatoes furn-
ishes to this road. To carry this years
crop to market will require 8 trains a
day, 80 cars to train and 500 bushels in
each car, every day for six months.
These cars would make a solid train of
potato laden cars 800 miles long.

THE PUBLIC PRINTING OFFICE

It frequently happens in Congress that
the calendar of the day carries SO many
matters assigned for consideration that
members wishing to make speech can
not get an opportunity to do so. In such
in stances f'leave to pint" is usually
granted and the speech is printed in the
Congressional Record.
On the 21st day of last month Represen-
.ative Banton of Texas obtained ''eave
to print" his speech which appeared in
the Record the next day. 1t was very
long speech, arIajgning certain practices
N the department Of the public printer.
This speech contained a sworn statement
of an employe of the Cove rnment Print
ing Office, This affidayit was inexpres-
sibly obscene. An attempt to expel Mr.
Blanton for publishing: this failed by a
margin of eight votes. IT was afterwards
IN animously voted that the Speaker in
beh ali of the House should reprimand him.
The sergeant alarms led him to the bar of
the House and Speaker Gillette in behalf
of the members censured him scathingly.
Although the reprimand was deserved we
find, after reading the entire speech, that,
leaving the vile affidavit out of the &C
count, there was nothing o. iectionable in
t. Mr Blantou showed that labor union
sBrEogantly controls the Public Printer S
office. He charged that if a non-union
printer gets employment there he is per-
secuted till he joins the union or gets out.
On sworn testimony he showed that no
man could hold a position in this office
unless he Joined the union and took an
oath of fealty to it in which the following
paragraph may be seen: "My fidelity to
the union and my duty TO the members
thereof shall in no sense be interfered
