WANTS FIL|P|NOS
TO EAT LOCUSTS
(By Associated Press)

Manila, P. l., July 8-The gen
eral use of locusts as food by the
people would soon rid the Phil
ippines of that pest which is a
menace to crops, in the opinion
of Director Adriano Hernandez,
of the bureau of agriculture.
"To bring about rapid eradica-
ton of the locust pest in the
Philippines the government
should teach the people to learn
more of the table deficacies that
can be prepared from the insect
and to eat more of them" said
Director Hernandez. "If locust
consumption can be made great
er and more general in the is
lands the time may come when
there will be no locust menace
at ALL
AS a result of Director Her
nandez' observations i'll several
provinces he hopes to popularlze
the locust dishes and 10 teach
the people to eat more of the
insect. He has prepared circu-
lar instructing provincial gov
errors farm advisers and munich
pal officials to teach the people
how to cook various kinds of To-
Gust food.

AUTO AID TO SUITORS

Not only has the automobile
changed many customs, but it has
broken down another barrier be-
tween country and town. Love
laughs at locksmiths, but until the
advent of the motor car there was
a certain line of demarcatiOn be-
tween the town and the country
when it came to love making.
Now the city man may have a
sweetheart in the country and call
on her as regularly as though she
lived on the next block, and the
country swain has a girl in town
and see her as often as any city
beau.
In those days the youth from
town after calling on rural maid
often found his buggy wheels miss
ing or the harness cut to discOur-
age further lovemaking trips. The
country boy after invading town
to call on a girl sometimes found
his saddle minus skirts and his
horse splotched with paint when
he started home.

TOMORROW" LAND
Jackson Times)

Judge Kerr in his history of
Kentucky says we are all wrong
about the name Kentucky" and
the meaning we have always given
it. 1t does not mean 'The Dark and
Bloody Ground" but "The Land
of Tomorrow"
That is a beautiful thought, but
the way we Kentuckians apply it
is something entirely different
Anything which can be put off un-
til tomorrow de wo So
Why not change it to "The Land
of To-day" Call it ''Talk Turkey"
or something meaning Right
Now" and get busy. Talk Tur-
key" is just about as euphonious
as Kentucky" anyway. The wild
turkey was originally native to the
woods of Kentucky, and we have a
double claim on this Talk Tur-
key" word. We ought to do some
thing to get away from that "To-
morrow" idea. Get something done
to-day.

All artists and writer's gravitate
to New York sooner or later, and
all of them have found material to
write or paint on the island of Man
haitian. Irwin S. CObb's effective
story in January Cosmopolitan,
Zone Block From Fifth Avenue" is
as local in it's atmosphere as a first
national bank or a railroad station.
yet it comes home forcefully to every
community from Maine to Califor-
mia, which has sent out of it's bray-
est and best to Conquer the
local papers facetiously put 1.-THE
great city. Briefly. Cobb tells of
nice girl who thought she could
paint. and W no left the little town
of WhippoorVillville to become
great artist in New York. But she
did not become a great artist. What
actually did happen comes to the
reader as a cOrking good surprise,
ending with tragedy and pathos and
an undercurrent of the broad hui
man charity which glows so mel
loWly in CObb's stories. Some folks
say George AIDE is doing better
work in these days of his fame than
ever before. His latest crack is at
the people who have discovered as
soon as they have good bank &C
count that there is a more delecta-
BILE climate somewhere else. cal

"DAMFINO" IS NAME OF FLOR
IDA HOME

Have you a little name plate on
your home? Or does it prosaically
bear merely the street number?
How would you like to live in a
home named "Damfno,"' This
unique appellation is inscribed
over the doorway of one of the pref
tiest little homes in Lake Worth,
Florida.
In Lake Worth nearly every
house is named. Some of these
names merely designate in what
State of city the occupants of the
house formerly lived.
Lake Worth is located six miles
south of Palm Beach, and it's homes
represent almost every State in the
Union. There are many :".Ken-
tuckys," one "Old Kentucky" There
is Toledo" or two. There is a
Syracuse" several New Yorks"
and a Virginia" Detroit, Boston
and Philadelphia also are repre-
sented in Municipalities, as are North
Dakota, Washington and California.
But not all of the houses are
named after States and cities. There
is that ''Damfino,' for example, and
then there is an attractive little
bungalow called "Welikit,' which
is a nice concise way of expressing
the owners satisfaction with life
in general. Even more enthusiastic
is the name "Delitit," which was
noticed on another bungalow.
On the Dixie Highway, leading
into Lake Worth from West Palm
Beach, is pert little green cot
tage. with white awnings and
general air of impudence that is
enhanced by it's name, "Why, The
Ideal"

a determined effort at fixing the
price of those goods at prices the
public feels justified in paying.
Perhaps this justification is
found in the realization on the part
of the buyer of goods that as an
Individual he has given assent to
those items which increase produc-
tion costs; such as labor and trans
portation. 1t is the seller of goods
who takes undue advantage of a ris-
ing market situation by imposing
unwarranted selling prices. that

his disregard of lessons learned
during the recent buyers rebellion.

ume on a, smaller margin of profit
rather than large margin of profit
on a reduced volume of production.
He feels that there is more certainty
and stability in the larger volume
and narrow margin which enables
him the better to regulate his buy
ing and operating expenses.
I'VE know of several instances
where the manufacturer has absorb
ed the increased costs of raw mate
rials, and other production costs
rather than pass them on to the re-
taller or consumer. There are many
instances where these increased
costs have very reluctantly been
passed on to the trade Perhaps this
is not so much due to spirit of
magnanimity as to the fear of re-
duced demand. In either case, how
ever. the consumer is the gamer.
AT no time during the publica-
tion of the Monthly Review has
there been such a keen interest on
the part of the public for informa-
ton on business conditions and eco
nomic trends. Never have written
requests for the Review been as un-
merous as at present. For reasons
unknown to us, certain months
bring requests from different Sec
tions of the country.
From this general desire for bus
mess information we might draw
two conclusions: There is either an
eagerness for a better understand
ing of ones own particular bust
knowledge of business conditions as
a whole.
In general, business men can be
divided into three classes: CD those
interested only in their factory or
office, CD those interested in the in
dustry or profession, and CD those
who have come to realize that their
factory or Office, their industry or
profession is inextricably interviewer

tional business fabric 1t is a
mighty encouraging and healthy
sign to see class numbers one and
two coming over into class number
three. Such a view of the whole bus
