sToo MUCH SPACE TO BLAcKGUARDs'

A news story sent out from Washington a few days ago quoted President Harding as saying, in discussing recent attacks upon members of the Cabinet, that the press gives too much space to the utterances of the black guard and not enough to the really great and good things the government is doing.
 Of course the President had in mind the big city dailies which are always looking for an opportunity to spring sensation, and not the newspapers of smaller towns, where people are not so much interested in the sputterings of the flannel mouth and the inconsequential of all classes; but in the people who are con- structive forces in material, intellectual and spiritual accomplishment.
 How did all these cheap skates ever put the hoodoo on the big papers, anyway? From the pet nicknames applied to the bruisers, the bootleggers, the bank robbers, the dope flends and the' denizens of the underworld at large, one would suppose that there were no people in this country doing anything for the real advancement of the human status, and that the most important people to be talked about and most prominent in public affairs were those of the classes enumerated above
 It is hardly thinkable that the big news papers nave SD SlOdb H' t't'oi C'"oN hv the "Mike de Pikes,' the Big Tims," tue "Caulifower Joes,'' the Peggy Joyces, the .sSheiks' and a thousand others, that they are entitled to the spotlight and asinne adulatlon while everyday common people who are dong a good work should be but are not made con- spicuous by the work they are doing, even though it be something that is being done by some one else and therefore has no sensatlon- al features about it..
 The President is right. Although too much space is give to utterances of blackguards, ana to the doings of people of absolutely no con seouence There has been built up an ansto- cracy of nothingness, if the misuse of t'e word aristocracy may be pardoned in human values, and so long as patrons of the big newspapers permit themselves thus to be i'm, posed upon without protest, probably just that long may there be nothing better ex- Dected.

WOMAN's VOTING LOGIC A PUZZLE

Party leaders, who for policy or other reas- ons, were loud in their cheers for woman suffrage are now rapidly coming to believe they have repeated history and staged mod e1n siege of Troy. They have taken the wood en horse within the walls of the city and now they can't get it out. What IS more, the wooden horse shows signs of life and has started to kick, all the little soldiers are coming out and all kinds of ructions are ex pected From every state comes word of the growing political independence of the women folk They are all "staunchly attached" to their respective parties, of course, but they
 insist on voting for "the best man," even if lie does belong to the other side, and no ar gument has yet been advanced to alter this rather general view of civil and political duty. It is up to the party leaders to obtain the best man, and there you are. What could be slmp- Ter, what more logical? Certainly the intu- itive vote seems likely to cause surprises at the fall elections.
 It will be many years before milady can be brought to vote at the crack of the whip or see the supposed wisdom of electing the poorer candidate on the better platform rather than the better man on the poorer platform, on the theory that principles rise above individuals. IT the politicians are to get anything like grip on the women folk they will have to sell them very thoroughly on platforms as against personalities, and this is quite an undertaking. It is difficult to submit goods for examination. Platforms seem to vanish into thin air soon after the count, so what can the poor leaders do?

RATES SHOULD BE REDUCED

Reduction of second-class postage rates which were originally imposed as war taxes is provided for in a bill introduced ill the House this week by Representative M. Clyde Kelly, Republican, of Pennsy lvanla. The plll is intended to give relief to the newspapers and magazines which have made representa- lions in Congress that the continuation o1 bioh nostal rates seriously affected the entire publishing industry.
 The Kelly Bill would repeal the last two of the four increases in postal rates winch were made under the war revenue law or 1917. Representative Kelly, in statement issned today, pointed out that newspaper and maoazine publishers of the country are in need of relief from this discriminatory war tax m order that the press may continue to serve the public. He stated that the proposed measure retains the present zone system ot nostal charges but reduces the amount of charge from the fourth advance affective July 1, 1921, to the second advance i'll areas winch became effective July 1, 1919. According to MT, Kelly, the rates asked for would still give the Government 175 per cent more than the nrewar rates and would not relieve the pub fishing industry of one cent of the other Federal taxes paid by it in common with other industries.
 ''The present rates on newspapers and publications were fixed in the war revenue law passed in 1917, and are 325 per cent higher than the pre-war rates," said Repre- sentative Kelly. "Every one of the items carried in that measure, with the exception of the tax on second-clas mail matter, has been modified or repealed. These wartime postage increases have driven millions of pounds of second class matter from the mail into nrl- vate channels of distribution There is some thing radically wrong when private companies can make handsome profit at rates less than those charged in postage. I believe there IS no good reason why the publishers of news papers and magazines should be singled out to pay this extra war tax"
 'The newspapers and other periodicals, " continued MT. Kelly "are the very fountain source of first class and fourth class mail. They also perform an invaluable service in freely carrying messages of postOffice and other departments of the government district to the people. They are really selling agents for the government but they get no commits sion on their sales It is a common sense policy to give them advantageous rates in the mail.
 "The fact that these high rates are charged on the advertising pages does not lessen the injustice. Advertising is not merchandise but information. The newspapers are infor- mation highways just as essential to the business prosperity of this country as the highways and waterways Not a sale can be made or a pound of goods shipped without the interchange of information. The adver- tisements are chronicles of every advance in industrial achievement. Without the publica- tion of the newspapers and magazines it be impossible.
 The bill has been referred to House Post Office Committee and hearings will be held would be impossible''

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Aug. &c.
{By the Associated Press. Remote
sections of Alaska, weeks and
months away from the railroad un.
der the old transportation methods
are being brought closer to the sea-
ports and railroad towns by the air
plane and tractor.
Two sections of Alaska, the Idita-
trod and the great Muskokwim coun
try, reached from here in the winter
only after a fifteen days trip with a
dog team, can be made in two or
three days by airp1une.
The tractors part in the revolu-
ton OF Transportation methods comes
in hauling ore and coal from the
mines to the railroads. The army

from twenty to fifty tons, breaks it's

& A Business Talk

Last week I told you some things
about your fall work if you really
intend to make your flock Of poultry
pay you any money for your labor,
their feed and the mohey they rep,
resent. This is, or should be, d
busy time mentally, for one must
plan, think over the plan, compare
the results of the flock this year with
what was accomplished last year,
see the advantages or disadvantages
and have faith enough in the flock
and ones conclusions to invest some
money.
Of course there has been a num-
Der of setbacks, some really bad
mistakes but don't dismiss them
lightly. I am writing these articles
to men and women who look at
poultry raising from a practical,
common sense standpoint. Nobody
is rich enough to say they raise
poultry just for Fun. Rich men, real
men, not parasites, look closely into
every investment before they risk
their dollars. Some, people with
hardly two changes of clothing often
think it sounds big to talk about
chickens or hogs or cows that are
not making their own living, much
less adding to the. family income.
Many a flock of hens is putting the
biscuits on the table, and sugar in
the coffee while the man is putting
around knocking them for not. pay
ing board. You can't believe all
some men say about the wife's hens.
But / want to talk to you now
about your winter feed and how
many hens to keep.
Are you really prepared to keep
fifty hens? You are if you have a
child ten years old to help you. Such
a child can save you just about a
million steps, not all in one day.
Have you any shelter of any sort
for them to escape cold rains, snow
and north winds? If you have not
and you are renting, it is good sense
for the question of next years habi-
tation to be settled. Moving does not
always help tenant or landlord. We
must put up with some hardship
everywhere. Sell some of your flock
and buy a roll of roofing, get two
ply, it's easier . handle, get two
big goods boXesI deep, and at least
four feet long, and three feet wide.
Turn them on the side and put a
roost in each. Then with the pieces
that came off the top extend the
roof about four inches in front You
understand that the box is lying on
it's side, the bottom forms the back.
Cut piece of roofing to fit. Mine
comes just wide enough to fit. Tack
it down with strips to prevent the
wind tearing it, and set your little
house on something to lift the front
