The Federal land bank at Houston,
Texas, has loaned the farmers Of that
district close to $l0.000.000 the last
five months.
And yet, when we sift the thing down
to rock bottom, the peoples themselves
are to blame for the taxes which their
representatives pile upon them.

God bless the man who first invent
ed sleep. Sancho Pancho Napoleon
said that sleep was the happiest time
Of mans life Sleep will do more good
for tired man than meal for one
who is very hungry. Too much sleep
is as bad as too much food. The pro-
per amount Of food or sleep is the
thing to be aimed at. There is a diff
ference, however: A man can lose a
number of meals without injury; but
let him lose several nights sleep at one
time he simply can't do it

The Russian delegation at Genoa
have condescended to wear silk hats,
the same as the other representatives
are supposed to do. This shows art.
They don't desire to be conspicuous,
but to appear as natural as the others.
What they seem to be after is peace
with all the world. If wearing silk hats
is going to help ever so little, so much
to the good, even though some of the
more extreme consider it unwise to fol-
low the bourgeois, be it only to the ex-
tent of wearing a silk hat in public.

A prominent U. S. Senator said to a
United Press staff correspondent: 4
am failure. And it is too late for me
to begin over again. Some of the
reasons given are: The Senate is de-
cadent and ought to be reformed, hero
ically and completely. A party that
would start out with a platform plelg-
ing it to clean out the Senate every
last man now in it and beginning over
again, would be swept in to power
more amazingly than the present adj
mistration was. The worst thing about
the Senate is that it is too far away
from the people that created it. Think
that over.
