long before Snowfall, as Johnny
called the white lamb. followed his
young master about the yard and
even into the farmhouse-when Mrs.
Green wasn't looking.
Ii was a remark tha, Johnnie made
about SNOWFALL one day which caused
old Spot to speak his mind plainly
to the Muley Cow. Johnny Green
actually said. in Spots hearing.
Snowfall knows as much as dogv
Il never did have any use for
sheep Spot told the Muley Cow.
Everyone knows they're all terribly
stupid. So you can imagine how [
felt when Johnnie Green spoke like
that to his father"
The Muley Cow chewed her cud.
She had iar-ofi look in her eyes.
as If she might be thinking about
what Spot was saying-or as il she
might not. Anyhow. she did not
speak.
"And to think Spot growled, "to
think how ! used TO take care OF
Johnny when he was no more than
baby! Do you suppose this lamb
could take care OF baby? Do you
suppose he'd pull baby around the
mill pond? Or fight off bull, Or
kill snake:'
The Mulcy Cow turned her calm
face upon Spot.
"If you're jealous she began.
"Jealous! SPOT barked. "Of course
I'm not jealous. But must say that
this SNOWFALL Lamb is very displeas-
ing TO me-"
"Then why don't you--" the Muley
Cow began again.
II would Spot interrupted. "I
would--onlv I'm not a sheep killer.
And I don't intend to become one"
"This boy said the Mulcy Cow,
"he'll grow tired Of that lamb. The
other boys will begin to tease him
because the lamb follows him about.
And that will be too much for john
nic. l know boys" the Muley Cow
declared.
Old dog Spot sighed. II hope
you're not mistaken" he remarked.
Time will tell. Just now anybody
can see that Johnnie Green is simply
crazy about that silly new pet of his"
1t was only a few days later that
something happened to cause old
doo Spot to lose all hope.
Johnnie Green and his father
hitched up the old horse Ebenezer
and started for the village. OF course
Spot would have followed them.
under the wagon. if he had been at
the barn when they left. But he
wasn't. He was up in the pasture
chasing woodchucks.
Just as old Ebenezer turned the
corner at the foot of the hill, Johnnie
Green happened to look back. And
there was SNOWFALL following a little
wav behind them!
Of course it would never do 70 let
him run all the way to the village
and back. And Farmer Green didn't
want to turn around and take Snow
ball home. So Johnnie Green jumped
down and lifted SNOWFALL into the
wagon.
So he rode to the village; and then
rode home again.
Johnnie Green was greatlv pleased
by the whole affair. And Snowfall
was pleased too. And soon as he
reached the farmyard he bepan talk
inr about his trin to the village.
Everybody listened to Snowfall
with wonder. That is everybody
wondered except Henrietta Hen. She
began talking in shrill voice about
her visit to the county fair. And she
said spitefullv to SNOWFALL. you'd
better get out of the way before old
dog Spot comes back from the pas
ture!'

Giants.

From Nature we learn Of a recent
meeting Of the British association,
wherein it was brought out that the
popular conception is untrue regard
ing power Of giants and the mag
nificent types Of masculinity which
they are supposed to be. Statistics
were presented to show that giants
were relatively feeble, usually short
lived, and, in the majority of cases,
devoid of those features peculiar to
masculinity. Giganticism was said to
be identified with abnormal conditions
of two small organs located at the
base Of the brain-the thyroid gland
and the pituitary body. The overac-
tivity Of these, preceding or near the
period Of birth, is the primary cause.
Sometimes, however, their overactiv-
ity comes into play after the individu-
al has attained his full growth, and,
as result, an overgrowth of the ex-
tremities takes place.

EMPLOYMENT FOR MILLIONS FROM
PULVERIZED MOUNTAINS
Building Stimulates Local Prosperity - Materials
Plentiful and Prices Down

Next to farming local prosperity
depends upon building activity. The
reason is plain. Building is the coun-
try's second largest industry. 1t en-
plOys millions of workers directly, mil
Ions to make the materials for build
Ing, and hundreds Of thousands in lum-
bering, quarrying and mining.
Everyone knows that building
shortage exists. One way to restore
prosperity then, is by lively resump-
ton of building. Materials and labor
now are plentiful. Costs are lower.
because it goes into nearly all build
ing.
For every ton Of cement, IL tons
of raw materials and coal must be
mined, shipped assembled, dried,
ground, weighed, mixed and then fused
at about 5000 degrees to a hard
"clinker." This "clinker" must then
be ground again, this time to powder
so fine that 1870 will pass through a
sieve having 10000 holes per square
inch. To make cement, one literally
must tear down a mountain and put
1T through a sieve" And yet, cement
sells at the mill for about $500 per
ton! These facts caused the United
States Geological Survey few years
ago to say that lone could not scrape
the free sand from the gutter for
much less cost per BARREL
Cement Competition Keen.
That competition has been active
is noted in government reports. Ac-
cOrding to the United States Geological
Survey, the production Of cement has
steadily increased and the price de-
clined. 1t shows that in $780, cement
sold at $500 barrel average at the
mill in 1920 at $2.02; in 1921, at $1.87.
Now it is selling at many large plants
as low as $3.50 barrel, only half
the average price in 1880, and less
than the average for the 4O-year period
covered in the government report.
At one of the cOuntry's largest
cement plants the price now Is 481@%
higher than in the pre-war year 1913.
The latest report of the United States
Department Of Labor shows the aver
age price of "all commodities as
$40 higher than 1913. Some OF the
items whose prices enter into this
figure of $40 have undergone radical
decreases, while others are very much
higher than the average Of $40. Few,
If any, items of the former class enter
into cement manufacturing costs, but
several items of the latter class do
affect the cement costs. In fact, the
principal elements in these costs are
labor, freight rates, coal and lime
stone.
In February. 1922, the cement plant
.ferred to paid for it's coal at mines

2O39o more thanein 1913, for limestone
at quarries 600 more and for labor
$40 more. Freight rate on coal was
1919 greater and on limestone 500
greater. A comparison Of these in
creases with the increase of 48h%
in cement price and $40 in the price
of all commodities" is enlightening.
Cement is so widely used that users
themselves have standardized it. To-
day every cement maker, regardless
Of his brand, meets the specifications
set jointly by the United States gov
eminent and the country's leading en-
cheering societies. All brands Of ce-
ment, therefore, are alike.
Jevon's Economic Law.
Because of this, the prices of various
brands of cement in any given market
usually are the same. The reason
for this puzzles many. But the answer
is simple and we'll stated by w. Stanley
Jevons, l.. L. D., M. A., f. r. S., in his
standard work 1.-THE Theory Of Polit'
ical Economy" which says:
IF in selling quantity of perfectly
equal and uniform barrels of flour, a
merchant arbitrarily fixed different
prices on them, purchaser would, OF
course, select the cheaper ones. Hence
follows what is undoubtedly true
that in the same open market, at any
one moment, there cannot be two prices
for the same article"
Applying Jevon's economic law, a
simple illustration of cement competi-
ton may be cited thus A, B and G are
cement makers. Each seeks business
at M, a town with a 30-cent freight
rate from A, 35 cents from B and 40
cents from G. This gives A scent
advantage over B and 10 cents over
c.. A figures he can sell at, say, a
mill price of $3.50, so adds the 30
cents freight and quotes $1.8O at M.
Then if B and C want to do business
at M they must meet AS price, requir-
ing B to go cents below A IN his
mill price and G to go 10 cents below
A in his mill price. Unless b and y
can make the mill price sacrifices re-
quired by the market at M as made
by AS $3.50 price, then A will monopo-
lie the market at M.
Similar principles apply to other
materials. Prices are not arbitrarily
made. They are based upon supply and
demand and upon the cost Of transport
tation, raw materials and LABOR. sup
ply Of labor and materials now is
plentiful. We cannot afford longer to
delay needed building improvements.
This is particularly true because
building is so entwined with the ma
tons prosperity that a full revival
of building will hasten a revival OF
other lines of business.

HARD GOING FOR
BONUS MEASURE
White House Conference Falls to
Help the Cause.
NO CHANCE FOR SALES TAX
Presidents View Is Interchangeable
Asks Members of Senate Commit
tee Where They Expect to
Get the Money.

Washington, May Slopes of re-
conciling differences between congress
and the administration over soldiers
bonus legislation collapsed, following
a conference at the White House be-
tween President Harding and senate
leaders.
The finance committee, it is under
stood, is now giving serious considerc-
ton to suggestion that the measure
be shelved until July, at which time
it may be possible to ascertain
definitely how far interest payments
on the foreign debt may be relied
upon to meet the cost of the bonus.
Present at Conference.
Those who attended the conference
at the White House were Senators
Lodge (Mass.), Republican leader;
McCumber IN. d., chairman of the
finance committee; Watson Qnd.),
and Curtis (Kan).
The conference began with an ex-
PLANTATION of the amendments made to
the house bill by the finance commit
COO' NOhotOA hSSullUCI OutI1ACu lHC
amendments, all of a minor nature
After weeks of consideration Of vari-
GUS new plans and proposals, the COM
mittee found they could not improve
materially on the house bill, which
Mr.. Harding has said he would veto.
The conference had been in prog
ress only a short time when the Pres
ident- confronted the committee with
the query: "Where are you going to
get the money!
Reply Doesn't Satisfy Him.
Committee members pointed out
that the cost of the bonus during the
next year would be only $73,OOO,00O,
which they thought could be easily
met by savings in governmental ex-
penditures. They further explained
that the peak of the cost would not
be reached until 1926, when the cost
for the year will be something over
$30OOOO,OOO.
The President is reported to have
remarked that "this isn't much of
bonus BILL" referring to the failure to
find definite means to raise the
money. He asked the senators if they
had considered a sales tax to defray
the bonus cost. They answered that
there was no hope of it's adoption by
congress.

writs Served at Church Door.

Until the middle of the Seventeenth
century a familiar figure at Virginia
church door on Sunday morning was
the county sheriff. The law requiring
attendance at divine worship was of
great assistance to him. 1t rounded
up the planters and small farmers
from remote corners and enabled him
with a minimum Of effort to serve
writs, warrants, summOnses, execu-
lions and similar official papers.
This practical method disturbed the
planters who did not fancy official in
trusion on such an occasion. So, in
1858, they passed law prohibiting
the service of official papers on Sun
day, at the parish church or elsewhere,
and the sheriff was sent OF on his
web Of trails the other six days to do
as nell as he might.
