OF THE DAY
TALKED TOO MUCH

The coal baron who declared the peo-

incurred during the strike by being
charged more for coal talked too much
with his mouth for the good of his
kind. Of course that has been the prac-
tee for many years, but the public was
not told of il in such blunt words. This
time the public became indignant and
with a mild fall season as an ally, re.

This has had the effect OF forcing the

DAY OF JOY

What are you thankful for this
Thanksgiving Day? Wait a minute.
1t is failing, characteristic OF
Americans, to attempt to express
nearly everything in terms OF
money. Or, at least, in terms OF
prosperity.
Most of us have the notion that
Thanksgiving Day as a national
festival was born in much the same
spirit-a gratitude for good fortune.
To some extent, it was. The Pill
grim Fathers were thankful for
crops that ensured them again;:
starvation in the barren winter that
lay ahead. But unquestionably
their JOY was not confined to food.
They thanked the Almighty for
liberty in government, freedom OF
worship and the simple joys OF
happy homes.
So, this Thanksgiving Day, lie.
us not be thankful merely in pro-
portion to our prosperity, though
times have greatly improved in the
past year.
Let us remember and be thank
full for these more important ele-
ments OF life-our families, our
health, our friends.
Many home that is trying to
make small chicken serve as
Thanksgiving feast for half dozen
hungry mouths has more OF genu-
inc love and happiness TO be thank
ful for than some of the places
where buffers serve giant turkeys
on silver platters.
And il We are away from home,
forced to dine at public eating
place among strangers, let US be
thankful for the love OF far-away
home folks and friends.
Such is the real Thanksgiving
spirit.

Sims /


Exactly as was predicted yesterday
today is Thanksgiving.
And a serious shortage Of things to
be thankful for is reported.
This shortage, however, reminds us
OF the auto driver.
The auto driver was thankful because
telephone poles only hit his car in
self-defense.
So here is list of things we are
thankful for this Thanksgiving.
And, II you have thanks shortage,
you may be thankful with US.
We are thankful because women don't
chew tobacco.
Because everybody can't sing.
Because Sunday always comes on
time.
Because America is not in China.
Because night only comes once day.
Because all girls are not red-head-
ed.
Because we can't play golf.
Because all girls are not blondes.
Because we can't play saxophone.
Because all girls are brunets.
Because we can't play auction bridge
Because autos don't eat oats.
Because monographs run down.
Because we don't like garlic.
Because trains never run sideways.
Because we don't like rheubarb pie.
Because bathtubs empty themselves
Because we don't eat tapioca pud'
ding.
Because Christmas is a month away
Because water never makes you
sick.
So, after all you see how easy 1t is
TO be thankful.
II YOU are not thankful because some
thing is, you can always be thankful
because something isn't.
And this reminds OF the man who
needed shoes and was thankful be
cause he was not centipede.
And the bald man who was thankful
he never needed a haircut.
Which reminds us of the man who
was broke and was thankful because
he had indigestion.
And the one with the wart on his
finger thankful for the finger.
And the man thankful because he
had a tooth TO ache.
But above all comes the man who
was thankful just because he had
sense enough TO be thankful.
] And that's that, thank goodness.

BALANCING POWER

To make prosperity last, econom-
lists say the farmer must get a
bigger share of the nations income.
Otherwise he can't buy much, which
automatically curbs sales OF city
made products.
So it's good news, from the gov
ernment, that the farmers normal
buying power is being restored to
him. A long way to go yet, but the
Y leading crops at present prices
are worth nearly 81 ,300,O00,O00 more
than the same crops year ago.

BUSINESS EXPERT

John Moody, business expert,
feels moody. He sees another per
iod OF deflation coming late next
year That is, unless farmers get
better prices.
Present national prosperity, as
Moody sees it, is not we'll balanced,
The farmers purchasing power is
less than before the war. while city
peoples income averages higher.
Until the two become better bal
anced, Moody doesn't see how
there can be a smooth and big
scale exchange of products between
city and farm. Sounds sensible.
Equilibrium will come.

COMMUTE RECORDS

AS we have them at present, the
revolving platform on which the
phonograph record rests, moves at
uniform speed from the time 1t
is started until it reaches the end
OF the record. Therefore the needle
makes the outside circuit of grooves
in the same time that il makes the
last groove. This means that there
is as much music crowded into the
last circuit as the first, although
he latter Is about seven times as
ong.
Recognizing this principle, man
in Europe has invented an attach.
ment for Photographs by means OF
which the time required for the
needle TO cover the outer circuit is
about seven times as long as the
time in which il goes around tn,
inner circle. The needle traverse:
uniform distance in inches pei
second from beginning to end Of
the record. This is accomplished
by means OF the device which &C.
CELEBRATES the speed OF the revolv-
ing record with each circuit.
The result on a twelve inch rec
ord is twenty minutes OF music in.
stead of four minutes.
The same attachment has to he
used, of course in recording III,
record. On the playing machine il
can be removed when ordinary rec.
ords are to be played. Records
made OH this new plan have beer
successfully played.
Think of what this means. Or
four double-face, twelve inch rec
ords. one can have two and one
half hours OF musie.--a whole opera
from beginning to end.

Berton Braley's Daily Poem
AN ORDINARY THANKSGIVING

We're thankful in humdrum way.
Without much chattering about ii.
That we've a hearty meal today.
We wouldn't TO go without II:
We're thankful for the shelering roof
Which humlrum labor keeps above us.
And for the friends whove met the proof
OF time and trouble and who love
We're thankful that still find fun
Yes, fun that shakes the very rafter,
Tn just the ordinary
or simple jokes and hearty laughter.
Our japes may be trifle trite
And captous critics might abhor them,
But they give rich delight;
Such as they are, we're thankful for them!
We're thankful that the family
Again is gathered here together,
Deep in hearts we're glad TO be
Undoubtedly birds of a feather.
We're thankful for trials past
Which. maybe, made stronger truer;
We're thankful that they didn't last
And hope, in future, they'll be fewer
We're thankful that worldly lot
Is not bad. and that ambition
Stills stlrs in us, not
Quite satisfied with our condition;
We do not whine. do not crow
But each before his heaping pateful
Gives thanks, and hopes neSt year viii show
More reasons still for being grateful

SENATE PROBE
 IF DYE TRUST
 |S UNDER WAY
Sweeping Investigation to Be Held; Government Officials
 Number Among Witnesses

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2O.-The long delayed senate inquiry to determine whether monopoly exists among the dye and chemical makers of Selis country, and to investigate the activ- ities of their alleged lobbyists, go un- der way today.
 Indications of the sweepin nature of the investigation were given imme- diately in demands by Senator King, Democrat, Utah, sponsor of the res olution, that 30 odd persons, some of them government or former govern ment officials, be called to testify.
 The day was devoted largely to statements by King and Senator Ere linghuysen, Republican, New Jersey, whose amendment to the resolution has broadened it to include importers as well as American manufacturers.
 King laid before the committee names of those who, he said should be called, and who could give testi- mony "evidencary in character"
 Frelinghuysen, on the other hand. pleaded with the committee to make the inquiry an investigation and not a prosecution"
 King said the committee, in addi- tion to examining witnesses, should obtain the records of their business affairs since the end of the war, to- gether with correspondence which they have with the government on the dye embargo in the emergency tariff law, and the handling of reparation dyes which were allotted to the United States.
 Frelinghuysen declared that charges had been made and it was the com mittee's duty to determine whether a trust really existed.
 1t was an injustice, he added, to those whose money was tied up in the business as well as to the honor of the leaders in the inquiry. A ques. tion of national policy was involved he declared.

Former French Minister Says It Is His Belief That U. s.
 Debt Cannot Be Paid

PARIS, Feb. 20.-(By the Associat- ed Press)-Louis P. Loucheur, for mer minister. of liberated regions, de- clared tonight it was his belief that France never would be able to pay a sou of her debt to the United States This statement was made at Lyons at banquet of the industrial, commer- cial and agricultural associations.
 q say plainly" declared Louchour, "that l believe we never will be able to pay sou to America. I say it be- cause there are Americans here, who l hope. will carry my words across the seas. We never can pay the 15,- 900 100000 francs we owe America, with the added interest.
 America has all the gold, and we never could pay in goods on account of the customs barriers raised by the United States itself''
 Loucheur added that David Lloyd George. the British prime minister, had agreed in principle to cancel Frances debt to Great Britain on con dition that the United States annul Great Britain's debt of 20.000. .000.00 francs. Referring to the question of reparations, Loucheur said France was determined to make Germany pay to the utmost.

IN SENATE BATTLE
 AMONG SELVES
Tariff Valuation Differences
 Are Aired in iThree-Hour Secret Conference

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-Differ- cnces between Republicans of the sen ate finance committee and the house ways and means committee over tariff valuation principles were aired today at three-hour secret conference, without any concrete result Neither side tonight appeared hopeful of an early agreement.
 The house committeeman, Repre- sentatives Fordney, Longworth and Green, who would constitute the ma jority conferees for the house on any tariff bill proposed by the senate, held out strongly at today's conference, for the American valuation principle as written into the house bill This was resisted by the senate committeeman, who, in undertaking to rewrite the house measure, long ago abandoned that principle.
 The conference was asked for by the senate committee majority, fol- lowing the declaration Saturday of Fordney that if the senate sent back to the house bill carrying foreign valuation basis, as tentatively agreed upon by the senate Republicans, the ways and means committee would re- hiilC tlic LucdSuIc Ou tue DdSlS Ol Ifl6 . American valuation principle and the house would return that to the senate.
 Chairman McCumber said it was de sirable to bring about an agreement between the two committees if pos sible before the bill was reported to the senate, as time probably would be savd in that way. It was explained that any change in the valuation prin- ciple underlying the bill would involve recasting of most of the ad valorem rates or rewriting of great part of the whole measure
 The discussion behind closed doors of the senate committee room was said to have been heated at times to- day, but many of those in attendance thought that the frank c;scuS:rur. would serve to clear the atmosphere and pave the way for some kind ov v compromise. Just now, however, sen ators and representatives are so far apart on the question that specific compromise plans have not been se- riously considered.
 None of those interested was pre- pared to say how long intercommittee conferences would delay the compile tion of the tariff but it was practi- cally certain that the measure would Tot be ready for the senate before next month. There already has been talk Of some two or three months de- bate, and after a final vote there, the bill would have to go to conference.
