may again see Charley Sits, who
gave Springfield the strongest little
Glass D league club that was ever
organized (only to get canned for
so doing), in action again, as he is
said to be dickering for w. A..
franchise for Miami where Spring
field wanted to plant the defunct
Drumright club.
"Stis would be welcomed hack into
the league, whether Midgetville
wants him or not. Just because the
owners of the Springfield club be-
lieved Charley was winning too many
games up there, didn't kill his popu-
larity around the rest of the circuit.
Anyway, even the most rabid Midget
fan will have to admit that Sits got
them a ball club"

FOOD COLOR MEANS NOTHING;
THE VALUE is IN THE GRAIL

saltwater, Okla.-Does the color
of the food we eat have any bearing
on the value of its strength.giviig
qualities?
That question was raised by DR..
Steenbock' of the University of Wis.
consin, year or so ago. and has
been the subject of experiments by
food specialists ever since. DR..
Steamboats, conclusion. after exper
imenting with the white and red
corn in the feeding Of rats, was that
yhe red corn contained large quanti
ties of fat soluble vitamlne and that
white corn contained very little of
this substance.
Now comes the Oklahoma Expert
ment Station, however, and dispute
the Steenbock theory.
Paul l.. Menaul, one of the station
chemists at the Oklahoma Expert
ment Station, has just completed ex.
periments in which he fed different
colored grain sorghums to white
rats. Manual took the precaution to
have complete ration in every re.
spect except the vitamine. The only
variable factor was the grain sor
ghums-a grain, by the way, which
supplies various shades of color
ranging from white in the case OF
white milo to red in the case of
darso. With four of the most com
mon grain sorghums in use, no diff.
ference was apparent in the gains in
weight of the young rats at the
experiment table"
SO, the Oklahoma experiment sta
ton has come to the conclusion that
the feeding value of grain sorghums
does not depend on color.

columns of debate" occurred before "if"
went out.
Along toward the end of the week the
senators began to talk of cloture, to limit
debate on the tariff bin. That Immediately
got rise" out of the democrats. They
arose in mighty protest, not so much against
the geheral proposition of limiting debate,
but because the majority party would apply
it to what the democrats termed strictly

in unequivocal terms, served notice that
while he would discuss, with favorably in
clined mind, a general proposition for clo-
ture at propitious moment, he would never
consent to allow the majority to impose it in
connection with party measure.
The Senate already has form of cloture
which can be applied with two-thirds vote,
but the latest proposition contemplated clo-
ture by majority vote.

Notwithstanding the existence of ground
for complaint against extraneous debate in
connection with the tariff bill, observers in
the Senate declare that there has been
great deal of valuable information contrib
uted upon the many items of the schedule
now under consideration. Those who follow
the Congressional Record have been struck
by the fact that the debate has disclosed that
many senators have given close and tech
nical study to many of the items, involving
wide research as to industrial conditions
in this country, as to imports and cost of
production.
There can be no question that number
of senator's, especially on the democratic
side, are burning the midnight oil informing
themselves upon technical and statistical
facts. When you talk about some of these
involved tariff schedules you have to have
the facts, or some better-posted senator will
be likely to trip you up.

however, and especially enjoy turning the
talk to the political discontinue of the other
side at every opportunity. If it were not for
the danger of being charged with 1ese ma
jeste, some of the statements could be classed
as smzcking strongly of "for home consump-
tion only" but that is to be expected in the Or
der of things. Indeed, it is taken for granted to
such an extent that it is seldom rebuked at
the time, the auditors allowing it to pass as
a matter of course.

BY N. o. MESSENGER.

ERE'S state of things; here's
pretty mess, in this fair capital of
L 4 our great republic. Congress, ad-
rninistration, the plain people, all
vexed and perturbed and rubbed the wrong
way. President Harding has his troubles
keeping the fighting roosters in some of the
departments from spurring each other; the
Senate has to sit up O nights with the tariff
bill; the House smarts under lot of unjust
criticism from the country; some of tne de-
partment heads are under partisan fire; the
cook is mad because of that early hour the
children are cross from loss of sleep; the
teachers worn out-'most everybody peevish
about something or other.
B-r-r! It's sad story, and there is no
hope!
Let's take up the troubles of the Senate
hrst-and there are enough of them to suf
fee for the chapter, at that. They are all
about the tariff bill and the other important
legislative measures which are backing up
behind it, like water behind dam. The
Senate has had the tariff bill for six weeks
and for more than two weeks that body has
been in session eleven hours day, yet COM
paratively little progress has been made in
disposing of the 1000 pending amendments
to the bill.
Apd the clock is remorselessly ticking
away the hours that make up the days bridg-
ing the approach to the congressional cam
paign and the November election.
Senator Kellogg had the worst case of
blues of anybody in the Senate the other
day when he predicted that at the rate things
are going-or, he may have meant not going
the tariff bill cannot be passed within two
years. Senator Simmons, democrat, was a
little more optimistic and thought the bill
could be disposed of by the Senate by July.
but in the same breath he solemnly warned
the majority that plenty of opportunity must
be given the minority to expose the iniqui-
ties of the measure, as the minority views
them.
Indicative of the feeling of irritation over
the delay in action upon the, pending amend
ments, Senator McCumber in charge of the
bill, in a semi-serious vein called the atten-
ton of the Senate to one instance last Thurs
day. He pointed out that the pending amend
ment was to strike out the word eff" be-
tween two words, as it was superfuous.

Dispute a Survival
OF the Pacific War.

A diplomat (who would cease to be
one If he allowed his name to be pub
lished). discussing the Chilean-Peru-
Wan quarrel over the provinces of
Tacna and africa, said it reminded him
of two bald-headed men lighting for
possession of a snaggle-toothed comb.
That very adequately describes one
phase of the present controversy.
But it isn't the mere possession of the
territory, which has no great value.
that threatens to wreck the present
attempt at settlement of this long
standing dispute. Chile could part
with Tacna-Arica and still be as well
off as she was before. Peru could
gain the disputed ground without ma
terially enriching herself. It's the
principle of the thing that counts.
Tacna and africa have been merely
the concrete embodiment of a spirit
of hate inf1amed by the war of the
Pacific. and which did not die with
the signing of the treaty of Ancon.
The first two weeks of the present
conference have shown to those who
have followed the progress Of the
conferees in their daily meetings just
how difficult and delicate a problem
they have to solve. In striking con-
trast to the flood of publicity and

An unsophisticated person, reading the
speeches might be torn between the thoughts
that the republican tariff makers are all
pirates, highbinders, robber barons, second
story workers and porch-climbers, or, that
tho democratic revisionists are all concerned
with turning the American laboring man
over to the tender mercies of famished Eu-
rope and ce-fed Asia, leaving this country
to the ultimate fate of cold furnaces, smoke
less chimneys, silent looms and spindles and
general dependency upon foreign manufac-
turers.
"Oh, consistency, thou art jewel" sighed
Senator HeAin of Alabama in debate the
other day, protesting against the apparent
inconsistency of the attitude of some sena-
tors on protective rates. 1t was in the course
of fight for a duty on graphite, where
party and sectional lines split up. At that
time the Alabama senator, who insisted that
he is not a free-trader but a tariff f-for-reve-
nue. man, said he had no objection if Incl
dental protection were given to labor.
Senator McCumber threw a spotlight on
the seemingly conflicting attitude of senator's
on that item. 'We fno here among the ar
dent protectionists," he said, "the senator
from Colorado, Mr.. Nicholson, asking for
protection of about 100 per cent ad valorem.
We find the ardent protectionist from the
state of Michigan, Mr.. Townsend, demand
ing that the article be placed upon the free
list. Here we have divergence of
views upon the republican side We
then go to the other side of the cham
Der and find the senator from Ken
lucky, Mr.. Stanley, declaring that he would
not give a cent of protection to anything
in the world, and Immediately we hear from
the senator from Alabama, Mr.. Heflin, who,
in the twinkling of an eye is metamorphised
from an ardent free-trader to protectonist
of the deepest dye. When we have these
sudden conversions on the other side of the
chamber and the divergence of views on this
side of the chamber, l think senators can
realize some of the difficulties which have
beset our path for the past two or three
months while we were discussing this ele
ment."
Senator Borah, in his incisive way, after
listening to it all, made his observation. He
allowed that there is no difference between
the republican and the democratic parties on
the tariff, just the same as there is practical
ly no difference between the two parties on
any other thing-exeept that some in and
some are out"

New light on the Americanization
of the immigrants problem about
which the entire future of the United
States 81 intimately bounds shed by
a high Official of the Department OF
Labor, a man long an authority on
American immigration problems,
himself the son of immigrants.
Here are some of the salient points
he makes:
The immigrant comes to America to
get back to the land. He wants to be
a farmer, but under better conditions
than those in his home country.
The American government has no
means whatever to direct these
aliens to the farms where their labor
is needed.
Labor profiteers take advantage OF
their ignorance Of English. and they
eventually land in the mines or mill
towns.
This system breeds discomfort. 1t

dreams of America are shattered by

work, for which they have never

Their love for America comes from
the tales they have been told Of the
fertile fields and of liberty. Dumped
into New York from Ellis Island he
naturally falls in among the people
who speak his own tongue, and un-
fortunately their influences In the
congested centers of our cities are
not always for the best.
And here is this of1cer's solution of
the problem:

grants put them on the soil and
make real Americans of them.

gets low, it must order more from the
government printing office.
Now, when the people begin to
hoard their money and stop spending.
the money order business falls of
and the postmasters do not need to
constantly send in their orders for
blanks. When the demand falls off
it is Immediately noticeable in Wash
ington, and it is seen promptly that
there is a depression cloud forming.
But on the other hand, when the peo-
pie of the countryside people who do
the spending-are ready to loosen up,
hundreds of thousands of them use
the money order. The postmaster's 8
supply gets low. He orders more.
Concentration Of the orders in Wash
ington is a sure indication that pros
pertiy is on the upgrade. By this
means 1t even can be determined
whether one section Of the country
is picking up faster than another; for
instance, whether the boom is in the
farming belts or in the industrial
belts.
The country has been passing
through the postwar depression, and
business men, government officials
and others have kept their ears glued
to the ground to hear the first faint
murmur orreturning prosperity. Sew
eral months ago. while these people
were waiting for these murmurs to
register, the chief Of the government
printing Offices money order division
informed the public printer that the
demand for money orders was steadily
increasing. A man Of long ex-
perience in the government, he also
impaired the information that this
was an unfailing indication of better
business conditions and positive as
surance that the people were prepar-
ing again to open up their pocket
books-that event for which the bust
ness men had been looking for
gathering machinery. TIE new pub
lie printer watched, and sure enough,
along. came the renewed business
wave which opened up factories that
had been standing idle, returned to
employment men who had been
thrown out Of work by the closing
down, and the money order demand is
still increasing.
So, if you want q real line on the
business trend as indicated by the
spending Of money by the people, see
your local postmaster. and find out
from him whether the Issuance or
payment of money orders at his Office
Is increasing or diminishing, and you
can gain beat on the man at Wash
ington who discovered this sure busi-
ness barometer that has never failed
