law on record as having been passed
against the above mentioned acts in
the way our constitution says they
shall be passed, anyone engaging in
them cannot be said to be "doing
things on the sly" and so the phrase
in controversy shall be construed to
apply only to those acts expressly
mentioned in Sections III and w of
Statutory Act No. 2.-Alice Behner,
Secretary.
The Peptimists are very grateful
to all those who helped US in our car
nival by loaning things to US and we
appreciated very much your coming
to see our show.
It was so much fun giving this
, carnival that we wish we could give
it again for the benefit of those who
could not come, and so make enough
money to buy the good set of books
we all need so badly.

Farmers of the United States not
only comprise the largest single class
of producers but they are the largest
single class of consumers of finished
products of all kinds, and the largest
class Of shippers. In view Of al
this, it is essential, in order that the
country as a whole be prosperous, that
the farmer as class be prosperous.
When the Republican Party came
into power in March, 1921, the agricul-
tural sections of the country were in
the midst Of the greatest depression
they had ever experienced.
In response to a general demand
from the agricultural interests the Re-
publican Congress, on May ~, 1921, 40
days after the session convened, en-
acted the Emergency, or Farmers
Tariff. This stopped at once the influx
of agricultural imports and saved to
the American farm producer his home
markets.
The best proof that the tariff really
protects the American farmer is the
fact that since its operation Canada
has renewed her efforts to negotiate a
reciprocity treaty that will admit her
agricultural products into this country
free. AS further proof Of the effect.
iveness of this tariff it was renewed
November 16, 1921, by the solid vote
of the congressman representing the
agricultural States. The enactment
of this tariff was opposed by the solid
Democratic minority in both House
and Senate, with a few notable excep.
tions.
For more than quarter of a cen
tury there has been demand from the
producers and consumers for control
of the packing and allied industries.
Responsive to this demand Congress
enacted such law. 1t cannot be gain
said that the livestock industry of the
United States has had better treatment
from the very day that this law began
to operate. This bill was drawn by
Republicans, introduced in both
branches of Congress by Republicans,
and passed by both branches of Con-
gress controlled by Republicans.
For more than 40 years there has
been pending before Congress, in one
form or another, legislation to control
grain exchanges and to stop the manip.
ulation of prices of farm products.
Such law has been enacted by this
Republican Congress Like the pack

The Fortune Telling Tent
When the question of side shows
came up in the numerous prepara-
tions for the carnival the class voted
to have a Fortunte- Telling Booth
Marie Smith, Beryl Browning and
Gwen Lytle were appointed as the
gypsy witches. They were to have
complete charge, gather materials,
make their booth and tell fortunes.
The booth was in the library and was
very attractively arranged in the
form of a tent. On the floor were
buffalo robes and numerous cushions
In the center was stand from which
hung an iron caldron. Under the
caldron was a fire made of a red
light and sticks of wood. A witch sat
by the fire stirring the contents of the
caldron. The gypsies sat on cush-
ions in dark corners and told for
tunes. Just before the visitor was
ready to leave, he was sent to the
witch to learn his doom. He was
seated in a chair and told to lean
which the witch had taken from the
caldron in an iron spoon. AS the
spoon was tipped up he usually jump
ed up with little scream. If he had
lifted the thin covering on the seat of
the chair he would have seen a good
many copper wires in it. Had ne been
more observant he would have seen
one Of the gypsies move lever I'M
beneath, which connected the wires
with several batteries producing the
rather genuine thrills that the victim
felt
AS the tent would only accommodate
three at a time only Sl.S5 cents was
made. However, the fortune telling
booth was a great success for no one
left the booth without experiencing
a thrill that viii probably long be
remembered.-Gwendolyn Lytle.
The Fountain of Youth
The Fountain of Youth was one of
the most beautiful and artistic of all
the side shows. Just outside the door
is water fountain. To attract at
tention streamers Of pink crepe paper
were attached from the wall to this
fountain in an artistic manner. Above
this was a poster or sign with ap
propriate lettering and hand point
ing to the room in which was the mys
terious Fountain of Youth.
In this room Maggie Martinkosk
was in charge and showed everyone
the wonderful Fountain of Youth an,
how to become young again. The room
was fixed up very beautifully will
flowers which perfumed the air witt
their fragrance and incense burner
whose sweet smelling fumes gave i
an oriental and mysterious air AM
soothed the seekers of youth who en-
tered.
While freckles and other hindrance
to youth and good looks were disap
pearing in the magic Fountain o
Youth, Yetta Lewow entertained tn
patrons with a catching reading en-
titled, "1he Freckled Face Girl"

"They probably will. l heard they
would be glad to give most Of it again

They want to make another fifteen

"Well, I'm going next time, just

After the Peptimists' carnival the
members handed in the reports of the
representations from their different
families who attended the carnival
It was found that Charles Cruick-
shank's and Bruce Mull's families at
tended in a body, every member of
those two families being present
Charles had the advantage over Bruce

representatives brought since he can

holding a party convention, succeed.

asked why they didn't see to it that a
