that was the reason Gala Lily did moi
nod or notice the little wild flowers
Inside her glass home; she was afraid
that some one would know that she
and humble little Jack were cousins,
for she supposed that Jack knew IL
and was Dragging to the other Wild
flowers about IL.
"They will be sure to tell II to some
Of the flowers standing near the door
some day when the gardener leaves
the door OPEN"
The truth Of the matter WAS that
Jack knew nothing about the stately
relative growing inside the dollhouse,
and II he had he would have pitied
her. for he was quite happy and salts
fed growing out In the mir and light
and would not have changed places
with Gala for all her beauty and
stately bearing.
He loved the woods and the moist
spot where he grew and his friends
that grew about him.
There were the tickle, late-coming
wind-fowers;. though they never tar

them and hear them prattle Of the
sights they expected to see, and their
farewell flutters as they sailed away
always made Jack glad he did not care
to roam, as they did.

as his; there were the birds and the

REMEMBER THE LIVING

Yesterday was Forget Me Not day
Truly if America still owes war debt, i,
is to these MANNED and shell-shocked SOL
diers, who never can be recompensed toe
highly.
Much has been done, and it is indeed
encouraging to see here and there youth
partially crippled by piece of shrapne
or a bomb, finding again his place within
the ways of peace, making as good citi.
zen of himself as he made soldier.
Many hospitals have within their wards
some of those pathetic figures of whom il
chills the heart to speak. It is impossible
that America should now neglect them,
and turn all its attention to mere cere-
monial honoring of the dead.
Those holy dead in fields of Flanders
and of France will never lack our homage.
We best can show that our words regard
ing them are not empty, if we heed the
quiet, unassuming, modest plea of the liv-
ing disabled-Forget Me Not.

MODERATION THE NEED

In deciding to use argument and per-
suasion rather than militant onslaughts
and recriminations in continuing its eff
forts for adjusted compensation for world
war veterans, the American Legion at the
recent convention in New Orleans,
adopted policy of moderation that is
based on common sense.
The fight for and against the bonus
has developed too much bitterness. The
campaign has been characterized by such
phrases as "looters of the treasury" from
one side, and "profiteers" and "ingrates'
from the other. Nothing was gained for
either side by this bitterness. Indeed,
much was lost, for the controversy was
shifted from the realm of reason to that
of emotion.
The bonus question, like all others af-
fecting the public interest, should be dis
cussed and acted upon according to its
merits, without regard to the motives of
some Of its supporters or opponents. When
the issue is beclouded with immaterial
charges and countercharges there is little
hope of reaching rational decision.
The Legion, in announcing its policy,
did not criticise the president for vetoing
the bonus measure, nor those who opposed
its passage, recognizing, apparently, as
most observers have, that their opponents
in this matter are for the most part like
the majority of the American Legion men,
bers, actuated by a sincere desire to serve
the best interest of the country.

WHY:
Duck. Are Enabled to Shed
Water From Their Backs

wike wuter off ducks buck IN
nhrase that we often use. for DUCK >
hack is the most perfect waterproof
in>the world.
Land birds are soon saturated by
heayy shower of rain. You may see
them afterwards huffing OUT their
feathers so that sun and wind may
dry them. But no drop Of water can
penetrate the plumage Of any aquatic
bird. Gulls, ducks. grebes. and cormo-
rants dive after food on the bleakes'
days without getting either wet or
cold.
These birds are provided with a nat
ural macintosh In the shape OF .
covering of feathers which ut tightly

plumage would not remain waterproof
II they did not look after It carefully.
Every feather must be CREASED at least
once q day II 1t Is to turn the water.

with special glands which supply the
beak with all the grease It needs.

LOCALIZINC THE TARIFF

A delegate from the Southern Tariff
Association praises the protection afforded
southern industries by the Republican
tariff law, but says there are still "some
cripples" needing tariff aid. That is prob
ably true, but the reason they have not re-
ceived aid is because of the Democratic
opposition coming mostly from the south
ern section of the country. It has been
the Republican endeavor to extend the
policy of protection to every industry suf-
fering from the competition of cheap for
eign labor, who have demanded almost
prohibitive rates for products of their own
sections, but in some instances Democratic
representatives of southern districts, have
prevented adequate rates on the products
of other sections of the country. That &C.
counts for the 'cripples." Not until the
south is animated by more enlightened
political and economic theories can her
industries find complete relief.

OPTIMISM INFECTIOUS

H. ]. Alexander, president of the First
National bank of Denver, upon returning
from the convention of the American Bank
ers' association in New York, where nearly
10000 of the country's bankers assembled
says that optimism and confidence in
returning prosperity were reflected in all
the public and informal sessions.
"That optimism was Infectious" said
Mr. Alexander, "and brought quite lot
of it home with me. Nationwide pros
perity is swapping the railroads of the
country with freight offerings, and l find
much to inspire confidence in good times
ahead during the next three years.
"Those of us who live in the cities must
seriously consider more equitable adjust
ment of farm earnings. That is an I'M
solved problem that needs study by banker
and business man.
eve do not need any boom, nor do we
need to expect any extravaganza returns,
but good times seem assured"

IMMIGRATION LAW WORKS WELL

According to information from the de-
partment of labor, the immigration re-
striction law has accomplished all that was
expected of it and has worked as well as
any measure that could have been devised
for the purpose. Because of economic and
political conditions in southern and eastern
Europe, there was threatened rush of i'm
migrants from that section of the world.
Better conditions in northern and western
Europe promised to check immigration,
relatively, from that part Of Europe. The
percentage limitation shut off the immigra-
ton from southern and eastern Europe and
while northern and western Europe did
not send as many immigrants as would
have been admitted from those countries,
the proportion of the whole number COM
ing in was much greater than before the
law was enacted. Thus, in 1914, before
the war, we got only Is per cent of our
immigrants from northwestern Europe.
Since the percentage law was enacted,
greatly reducing the total immigration, we
have received SO per cent of the total from
that section. It is generally believed that
our most desirable immigrants are from
the Nordic peoples of northwestern Eu-
rope. If that be true, some means should
be found of further restricting immigration
so that still larger proportion of our i'm
migrants may be of the most desirable sort.

ALETHEA

A LETHEA. though not In common
- usage, Is q most important name
It comes from the Greek Alethia
which In turn was evolved from the
Greek "a" and the word meaning Ito
hide. and thus may be translated a
truth" or sincerity"
The nrst appearance Of the name ID
recorded In 1411 when Aletha Of
Padua lived. II was Dona Maria
Aletha. . Spanish princess for whom
Charles I Of England journeyed to
Spain while he was prince of Wales.
Alethea was the form which ap-
peared In the famous Saville family
and was given vogue through Its
prominence. But perhaps the most
famous and memorable Alethea was
the lady to whom the captive cavalier
penned the much-Quoted lines:
Stone walls do not . prison make.
Nor iron bars q cage.
To Alethea Is given the additional
Interest Of naming the youngest bride
known to English history In 1860, ut
the age OF nine, Alethea Branding
was married to man named Henry
Hitch. The name proved very popular
In England and Ireland. where It ia
sometimes contracted to Lefty.
Althea, meaning wholesome, has no
connection with Alethea. The former
seems to have belonged solely to the
unfortunate mother Of Meleager.
Coral IL Alethea's talismanic stone,
1t has the power to drive away evil
spirits and to protect its wearer from
danger and disease. Thursday Is

BEET SUGAR OUTLOOK IMPROVES

With the tariff question settled and a
reasonable protection assured the Ameri-
can beet sugar industry, western states
may look for new and healthy growth in
that field of agricultural and industrial de-
velopment.
With protection for the American beet
industry definitely assured, both farmers
and factories are planning for better
year in 1923 than they have experienced
since the unsettled conditions following
the world war;
This will mean renewed activity and
development in our agricultural regions
and the distribution of many additional
millions of dollars by the beet sugar fac
tories to our western farmers, all of which
will help stabilize the agricultural situa-
ton.

MORE MONEY TAX EXEMPT


Popularity of the federal farm loan
bonds is evidenced by the rapid absorption
of the recent issue of $75,000000 new
bonds. AS matter of fact the bonds were
over subscribed before they were issued
and sold above par to yield 4.30 per cent
interest.
No wonder they were over subscribed
when the wealthy investor can place his
money in these tax exempt securities and
escape all the burden of taxation and his
just share of maintaining a good govern
ment which protects his property rights.
The tax exemption law should be
amended in every state and in the ma
tional government so that the holders of
future issues of those securities would be
required to pay their proportionate share
of taxation on income derived from such
holdings.
