Springfield, O., Has
 Another Racial Conflict

@ PRINGFIELD, O., may be relied 0 on for an occasional outbreak in which the races pit themselves against one another.
 In 1904 negro killed a policeman. They took him from the jail and strung him to a pole. That might have happened in a small southern or western town. There it would have ended if it had been in the south.
 But in Springfield they did not stop until the whites had gone gunning for negroes at large and had burned their residence district. When black and Na1ite collide in the north it becomes a racial affair at large. In the south rancor does not extend beyond the negro that has committed crime.
 In 1906 Springfield had another race riot following the shooting of railroad brakeman by negro. In this case also the rioters sought venge- ance of the race at large and again they burned the homes of negroes, the just and the unjust alike.
 Last Friday night the whites and blacks of Springfield engaged in a pitched battle. The negroes fought from behind trees and the officers of the law fired back from an impro- vised barricade. This began when a policeman was shot while trying to break up noisy negro gathering on the public streets.
 The negro residing in the north never knows when a race riot is to break out. When it does occur, the best behaved negro in the place is as apt to be shot down and have his home burned as though he were the negro known to have started the trou- ble.
 It is a matter of choice. If the negro prefers that life to one of safe ty pending good behavior in the south, none will gainsay him his prefer ence.

 would be filled to the brim with dollars worth of purchases? Do you remember the big sack of square sweet crackers you bought for a dime, and the ginger snaps and the jumbles? l? And the big paper bag full of soda crackers for 10 cents, as crisp and as pleasant to the taste as those you now buy in oblong boxes with the paste board and shiny white paper?
 Have you forgotten the time father sent you to Lorenzen's grocery for a dollars worth of sugar and told you to hurry and get back with it for sup per-" and you took the basket and the paper dollar? And on the way to the store you met Fred Farwell. the stylish boy from the city who was visiting his cousins up on the hill, and you wanted to show off. And the grocer put the sngar in a big package, all you could carry, and you carried an empty bas- get in one hand and balanced the sugar on your shoulder and then told the city boy to look at you. And 1t didn't quite balance, and fell off and lit right on the stone sidewalk and the sugar squashed out into circle as big as mothers washtub.

THE OLD MARKET BASKET

And you darn't go home. Not till night, and mother saw you peering through the fence looking wistful and homesick like, and pleaded with father not to give you the licking you had coming. But pa couldn't see dollars worth of sugar wasted without going ahead with his programme. And he didn't say much when you came in, but he had a glitter in his eye and you knew it wasn't over And next morning he called your attention to the big poplar tree in the row along the white plank fence in the front yard and bade you go out and break off three branches all larger than his thumb at the base And you did. And then father led you gently out to the barn and as result you not only wished you hadn't spilled the sugar, but you vowed that you would never do it again.
 It was the old market basket, when people were neither too lazy nor had false pride, and were not ashamed to carry 1t through the streets, that helped father to feed his little flock and to keep them in school and we'll clothed. But he couldn't do 1t today if he were living! And nobody could And fancy labels and hand packing and paraffin paper and pasteboard containers all cost money and some body has to pay for it.

BURBANK AT WORK

Arthur H. Chamberlain in the ThrlIt
 Magazine.
 In 1875 Burbank came to California. He sold all but 10 of his stock of po- tatoes for $125. He finally reached Santa Rosa with less than dollar in his pocket but with the precious 10 potatoes Here after years of strug- gle he finally secured a few acres of land for a nursery and for experiment tai work in plant breeding.
 Just one incident of those days will illustrate his persistency and resource fitness. A fruit grower wanted 2o,ooo young prune trees to be delivered within 10 months None were in the market sand the nurserymen all said 1t was impossible to produce them in 50 short a time. Not so Burbank. He promptly accepted the order. As the season was far advanced he planted almonds in sand, supplied them with just the right moisture and kept them covered with cloth to maintain an even temperature. As the tiny sprouts ap- peared, they were transplanted Tn the nursery.
 He then secured from nearby prune orchards thousands of prune buds and, as soon as the small almond trees were old enough, the prune buds were budded into them. In less than seven months the order was filled and the seemingly impossible had been accomplished

 5N EOPLE used to fret because we lD were not on speaking terms with S the inhabitants of Mars. Now scientists assert that it is only a ques over the problem of running tape measure around the universe. Some scientists assert taht it is only ques- tion of time until they will be able to tell exactly how far it is from here to the ultimate beyond and back by way of Salt Lake City and Denver.
 There is much difference of opinion m scientific circles regarding the shape of the universe. Some assert that 1t is flat like the top of a table and when you get to the edge there isn't anything to be seen. as far as the eye can reach but large. rolling masses of nothing. Other scientists after ex haustive research and careful calcula- tion have come to the conclusion that the universe has the round contour Of sore thumb. Also, is there crack or seam marking the exact place where it ends. or does it simply bulge out So

LUKE sI'LUKE SAYS

It doesn't shock father to see decol- lete waists on, other mems daughters the way it does to see them on his own daughter.
 A man spends the first part of his life wishing he was married and the second part wishing he wasn't
 The average husband is big enough egotist to wonder why his wifi eshould want candy when she's got him.
 X widow can act so innocent that she'll wonder If it is proper for a man and his wife to remain under the same roof all night.
 When woman has a sick canary, a sick poodle and a sick husband in the house her husband isn't going to get much attention.
 E The reason married man likes to be called the head of the family is because he knows it is a darned lie.
 Somehow or other. woman never gets very friendly with the woman her husband was to have married and didn't.
 No man does his best as often as ne says he does--not even as often as he thinks he does4
 At that it is heap easier to go,for a drink than it is to forego one.
 We do not know much. But we do know that nature never intended that a bow-legged girl should wear knee- high skirts
 The trouble with most of the sound advice you get is that it is nearly all sound and mighty little advice.

BASEBALL AS A PROFESSION

posal to study for some business he may wish to enter when he finally quits the game, or he may work and add to his baseball income. The chances are that if he scores heavily in his first season he will receive bonus, and the better his work is the more rapidly he approaches a berth in the majors, where the salaries often run into five figures. and applause and the spotlight add to the joys of the star athlete.
 Many of the major leaguers are able to continue playing in the bis show until they reach the age of 35. and if, when they feel themselves slipping, they do rot doff the spangles for good and all or win places as man. agers. they can continue playing for a few years in the minors. And by the time the major league star is 5 years old he has earned more real money than 75 per cent of the professional men and without dabbling in politics; and if he has the good sense to save a conSlderaDle portlon oL ms income hS has sufficient to go into some new lins of business in a big way. If. in addi- ton, he has used his six months of leisure each year to study and improve himself, he should be master of the craft he desires to follow. Many ball players have pursued this course and today are the owners of valuable prop critics ranging from office buildings and manufacturing plants to farms, lumber camps and orange groves. And baseball salaries never were better nor were opportunities for star performers more plentiful. Show me the men who have followed trade from 16 to S5 who are equally well off"

 HRC0C1HE best profession in the Unit
 ed States today for the young
 man who must make his own way in the world is baseball, the chief pastime of the greatest nation of sport lovers,
 The statement was made by no less an authority than John Arnold Heydler, president of the National league, the granddaddy of all baseball organiza- tions. And John should know whereof he articulates, for he battled his way into post of national prominence from humble job as printers devil in a town many many miles removed from the rip-roaring chatter of the big time cities. He Is thirty third degree exponent of the sport, for his whole life has been identified with the game as player, umpire, statistician and executive; and since becoming the Ma tionaIs president he has been in the helping to clean up the rules and block dishonest pitching, exposing the crooked players in the majors, and heading the forces which compelled the selection of Federal Judge Landis as baseballs undisputed head.
 'The boys whom I urge to take up baseball as a profession" continued MT. Heydler, "are those who must fight their way from the bottom, with neither wealth nor pull to make things easy for them. The youngster who de- termines to follow baseball as pro- fession at the very outset of signing more money than he would as a trade apprentice. and after six months of playing he has a half year at his dis

SIZING UP. THE UNIVERSE

far into space that it meets itself com ing back?
 Professor Einstein recently caused a stampede among scientists by announc- ing that he had caught certain stars practicing trickery on an unsuspecting public. He said they were issuing rays that were crooked and not at al. well-behaved. Instead of traveling the straight and narrow way they swerve and reel in open defiance of the eigh- teenth amendment. Therefore, when you look at star you may not see it at all. Or it may be that when there are apparently two distinct stars, one, for example, within touching distance of Polaris and the other just over the Presbyterian church, they in real ity may be one and the same star.
 People used to be happy and con- tented in the belief that the world was flat, and that the moon was piece of cheese floating through space. But today we live in an atmosphere of con- stant mystery and trigonometry. We are just part of a difficult and perplex- ing mathematical problem that nobod,, can find the answer to.

Paul Clay. in Forbes Magazine.
 0 TOW shall we hold our export IIl trade? The difficulties to be of foreign competition. the tenn porary poverty of our best custo- mers and the imitation of the costs of American products to foreign consum- CTS on account of the adverse foreign exchanges.
 The general remedy is self-evident To meet the foreign competition we should cut prices; to ameliorate the consequence of foreign poverty we should cut prices; and to overcome the high cost of American products to con- sumers we should cut prices.
 It may also be added that as an offset to the fact that our goods are not gen . orally made to suit the peculiar wants and specifications of the foreign mar kets in which they are sold, we should cut prices; and that to convince the rest of the world that we are not really such rank money grabbers as we ap- pedfeu to pc lToHl l5Io to IS1V, Wc should cut prices.
 Of course, the producer may not agree with this programme. But the question is how far he can disagree with it and sell his goods Atroad. h all probability he cannot Abroad as at home the practical alternative be- fore the majority of producers is ts cut prices or keep the go ds. Europe. Asia, Africa and South meFlca are deflating the same as we age; and war prices cannot be paid by f9soples re- ceiving only peace wages and peace in- comes. The real interests of the pro- ducer himself are best served hy price cutting; and the answer to the Alle- gation that it will wipe out the mar gin of profit is that If the cost of pro- duction is too high to admit of such a cut, then the cost of production must
 be reduced We have had tc reduce costs in our domestic trade. and we can do it in our foreign business.
 The dominant and compeliing factor is that we must cut or we will lose the l business Other nations are doing t
 all over the world, and the way 10 vii in time like this is ro leaa Inc gre cession instead of following k sfhs last producer to lower the prsce ~ ais

sAM,s WAY TO SETTLE TT

From JuuSe.
 The case had been bitterly fought from beginning to end. and the op- posing lawyers had given play to all the theatricalism in their makeups during the course of the trial. On sew eral occasions the court had been forced to reprimand both attorneys, and through it all the negro who was on trial had listened with pop-eyed wonder to all the excitement and bit- terness he had caused. And finally, when the jury had pronounced him guilty the judge bade him to stand:
 sam" he, said sternly. have you anything to say before I pass sentence upon you?"
 The negro rolled his eyes. Boss" he said feFvently, T is knowed both these white gentlemen lawyers sense they was boys. I is plumb sorry l made em mad at each other--an' SO. Boss. I says this: If it's all the same to ev'ybody, s'pose we lets the matter drop right heah!"

 Between March 1. 1s7a and October 6. 1920 no less than 335 pardons were granted presumably with the consent of the Cuban cabinet No less than A murderers were turned loose upon so- ciety by President Menocal, who. as cultured graduate of an American uni versity, can hardly plead ignorance of the evil quality of his acts. In addition to the A murderers, many other crim- inals were freed. some with long rec ords and guilty of such crimes as as- sault with intent to kill. rape, bur glary, etc, as well as raft of swim dlers, gamblers. and petty thieves. Thee criminals were pardoned in 1929 on the understanding that they should earn their freedom by acting as gunmen and bullies for the party of the govern ment.
