INTO A BOTTOMLESS PIT

Walter NJ. Wolff writing in the
Dearborn Independent has the fol-
lowing to say concerning the Ger
man mark;
The individual who as far back as
1915, began to invest his savings in
German marks, has dropped his
good American dollars through a
hole in the floor. He will never see
them again; they re gone. He has
but one last chance in the world to
catch value received" by the tail,
but he must hurry. The German
mark is headed downward and no
one can today sound the pit into
which II is falling. II a man waits
too long. and continues to hold en-
to his German marks, the day is
about 10 break when he will be un,
able to buy the matches to burn
them up. Such is the situation for
countless thousands of misguided
investors who sought to Guido &c
RIO" Wallingford by buying and
holding German paper marks.

scious of their presence until, in
spring, their buds burst forth, bring
ing color back into the landscape.
During the summer, as masses of
green, they are appreciated, and in
their special glory Of autumn there
are none so mentally poor as to ig-
more them.
But where beauty of color is
simple language, beauty OF form is
realized only by the aid o ia some
what finer sense. Trees invariably
have it. They are more fortunate in
this respect than many other works
OF nature. Whatever the accident
they have suffered, however broken
or distorted they may be as the re
suit of TOO rude elements, theE
retain this supreme quality. Only
the ignorant butchery of man can
take it from them.
The strong lines of trunks, the
lacery of branches and twigs the
texture of bark, all contribute to the
winter beauty of trees. The person
who looks from his living room win
dow fails of consciousness of this
beauty can gain it readily enough by
looking from bleak windows which
afford no view Of trees.-Rock Island

BERGER FACES NEW
ATTACK ON HOUSE SEAT

The chances of Victor Berger to be
seated in the next house Of represen-
tatives at WASHINGTON. D. C. were
materially lessened and il became
doubtful whether or not he would ever
occunv the seat TO which he was re-
GENTLY elected.
A big group of representatives it
became known. believed that there
is constitutional bar against Berger
that cannot be removed. Chief among
those holding this view is Represen-
tat've Ira G. Hersey. Representative
OF Maine. a member of the judiciary
committee, and noted constitution

History is largely a record Of un-
necessary bad habits; unnecessary
mistakes; objectionable follies. Look
over any history. and you soon note
that the rulers were dishonest and
the people unreasonable, too idle
and the bulk of them lacking in in
telligence How much we make of
the few great men OF the past; and
investigation often reveals that much
of their greatness comes from flat
terers who profted by being follow
ers. The great human need is to get
rid Of bad habits; not natural habits
we call Original Sin, but bad habits
that are not profitable, and not very
pleasant. Better habits would give
men more of the good times they are
looking for. and make living more
agreeable for everybcdy.-E. w.

EXTRAORDINARILY
HOLDS REUNION

The Burtons and theft families
gathered at the Fairfield town hall
Thursday in memory of their parents
Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Burton. Mr.
and Mrs. Burton had a family re
union each year until their death
and the day is still kept for a re-
union by the next generation.
All previous years the dinner was
served at a private home but the
family has grown so much larger
that it has out-grown a private
house. This year fifty-five attend
ed. After the dinner was over
there was a program consisting of
fitting recitations by the little grand
children, a few readings by the old
er girls and music.
Members of the family from Bara-
boo who attended were Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Burton, Mrs. Mary
Crosier, Mr.. and Mrs. C. w. Bass
and son Louis, Mr. and Mrs. John

THE FLOOD OF BOOKS

Some British statisticians have
agured that about 1G.5OO,O 900 seporats
looks have been printed since re
invention of movable type In the
first sixty years after the invention
there was an average of less than
ECO a year Nowadays publishers are
turning out about 100000 new works
annually, exclusive of newspapers,
magazines, pamphlets, etc.
In mass this would destroy us,
theoretically it is a cumulative flood.
The present generation is first
struck by the combined weight of
165OO,OOO volumes, and if it with
stands the ware, finds itself breast
ing a torrent fed by 100000 new vol
umes each year. 1t is staggering and
discouraging. No human brain could
withstand such a flood
But the fact is that the human brain
is superior to even this weight of
printed words The lower the quality
Of the individual brain, the less is
it concerned with reading. To the
illiterate this weight of printed words
is nothing. The higher the quality
of the brain, the greater its faculty
of discrimination. To the discrimina-
ting the weight OF literature is so
distinctly marked as to relative val
ues that it is no menace The good
things in literature stand out so
clearly above the bad that sheer
weight is eliminated.
We can jot down in a short time
most of the authors who have sur
vived the test of time Only hun
dreds, or perhaps only scores, still
live. And we have the judgment of
many wise predecessors in the en-
joyment of literature as an efficient
guide. Occasionally we may overlook
a worthy author or a worthy volume
out of the past, but not often.
The task OF discriminating be-
tween the mOderns is more difficult.
But even among them there are
enough outstanding to make us GER
tain we can occupy our time to good
advantage. The process of elimina-
ton is simple. If we read all that
time permits among those we know
are good. the bad will take care of
themselves. A flood of 16.5OO.O 900 diff
ferent volumes of writing is democrat
izing but we do not have to stand
and be engulfed by it. We can swim
it. with enjoyment and profit.
The one essential is to learn to
swim. II can best be taught in child
hood, and on long winter evenings.

BONUS LEGISLATION
SEEMS DEADLOCKED
No Action Until After July - President
Believes Anti-BOnus Sentiment
Is Increasing

WASHINGTON. MAY S.-Bonus legis-
lation will probably be postponed en-
tirely until after July /, when astiscal
year begins.
President Harding believes anti-bonus
sentiment IS growing and will soon de-
yelop strong opposition to the various
plans proposed. In his opinion the
swing OF the pendulum will be similar to
chat which first favored and afterward
rejected the league of nations.
A large proportion of the present
clamor for soldiers compensation, ac-
cording to the view which the President
5 said to entertain, is pure politics in
which the eX-service men are given
scant consideration.
At present no solution of the bonus
muddle is in sight No method of rails
ing funds for cash payments has been
volved. No proposition has been sug-
gcsted which viii meet the wishes of
he veterans and those OF treasury Off
cials at the same time.
President Harding Saturday discussed
he situation with Senators Lodge, Me
lumber and Watson df Indiana. The
NcCumber plan. which adopts the house
certificate system, with a provision for
Negotiating loans, was laid before the
President. His first inquiry was as to
now funds would be raised.
He was informed that no positive
method had been worked out. In re-
iponse to a question, Senator Watson
old the President it was impossible to
pass a sales tax bill through either
branch of congress.
After the meeting Secretary Mellon
conferred with the President. Secretary
Mellon was requested to prepare de
allied figures as to how the treasury
would be placed in peril by each system
proposed.
Senators generally, and especially
those who are pro-bOnus, were thrown
nto a panic when those who conferred
with the President told. the circum
stances of their visit One OF them re
ated that after the President looked the
McCumber plan over he remarked,
This does not look like much of a
bonus bin to me. -
An informal meeting was held at
which Il dozen senators exchanged VIEWS.
It was declared to be useless to forge
lhead in opposition to the President
The general opinion prevailed that ac-
ion must await something tangible in
connection with payments on the Brit
sh war loan.
After a caucus of Republican senators,
held nearly three weeks ago, il was de-
elaTed that bonus legislation should be
reported from the finance committee
within "a reasonable time, - which was
sad to mean about three weeks. The
three weeks leeway will expire next
Wednesday,
Notice has already been given by the
Democrats that they will promptly
move to discharge the finance committee
from further consideration. of the house
honus hill. thus bringing it before the
senate for action 1t is said sufficient
votes can be found for the adoption OF
this motion Republican leaders are
thus greatly embarrassed.
