VEGETABLE SEEDS

Through the persistent efforts of
the Honorable Roy G. Fitzgerald, rep
resentative of the Third congressional

ton who are interested in garden work
will be well supplied with vegetable
seeds by Uncle Sam Representative
Fitzgerald, after sending a full sup

were available. He replied to the let
ter of inquiry from the school authori-
ties that the supplies allotted to him
as the representative of this district
had been exhausted, but that he would
use his best efforts to secure a fur
ther supply.
On the fifth of April, there arrived
at the administration building, 209
South Second street, six mail sacks
each containing five hundred packages
of vegetable seeds which was visible
evidence that Mr.. Fitzgerald's efforts
had borne fruit or at least seeds.
These packages will be Immediately

MONEY MACNATES
Should Pay Bonus Out of
Huge War Profits, De-
clareS Ladd

Washington.-"A the money mag
mates with their affiliated banks have
made practically all the profits out
of the war, they should be made to
pay the bonus to the soldiers who
won the war;" said Senator Lall, in
discussing methods to raise money for
the soldiers bonus.
The North Dakota law maker de-
clared that the banking interests,
through the American Banking Asso-
citation, is lining up the United States
Chamber of Commerce and the indus
trial trusts ''to defeat the soldiers
bonus or to put it upon the taxpayers
who can least afford to pay it.
''If a real investigation were made, y
said Senator Ladd, "it would show
that the investment bankers of the
financial centers of this country have
made more than $20,000,OO0. 900 out
of this war, as shown by their increase
in assets, capital stock, surplus, divi-
dends and other profits, which should
be taxed back into the treasury.
There is no question as to the
banks having made unheard-of profits
during the war and they should be
made to disgorge."

HOWAT PLEA
Against Contempt Sentence
Denied By Higher Court

Washington.-Th United States
supreme court has ruled that Kansas
courts may issue injunctions to en-
force the "can't-strike" law of that
state.
The court dismissed the plea of
Alexander Howat for relief from
contempt of court sentence. He was
jailed because he refused to obey the
order of a Kansas district court to
appear before the court of industrial
relations and not to call miners
strike
In his appeal to the United States
supreme court Howat's attorneys
questioned the legality of the Kansas
law.
Chief Justice Taft could only see the
disobedience Of an injunction judges
order and refused to consider the con-
stitutionality of the Kansas law.
The court, in effect, took this posi-
ton: Injunctions must be obeyed and
it is not for the plaintiff to decide
whether the injunction denies him con
stitutional rights as this is of less
Importance than the violation of q
courts order.

FOCUS YOUR ENERGIES

KIT WANTED to be a singer" said a
successful illustrator to the
writer. Il had a pretty fair
voice. With cultivation it could have
been made better But l know If
spent the time necessary for its cul-
tivation, l wouldn't have time to learn
to draw. And | had more ability at
picture making than at singing.
II didn't quit singing cold. / still
sing a little But l dropped it as a
business. One business is all any man
can attend to If he wants to get along"
Today this man is one of the high
est paid illustrators In the country.
He might have been fair illustrator
and fair singer, or a good singer
and a bad illustrator. But he chose
the career for which he had the
greater talent, and stuck to 1t.
The late Charles e. Van Loan in
youth developed considerable talent
for drawing When he was fourteen
or fifteen his teachers predicted that
he would some day be great artist.
But he discovered that he could
write better than he could draw, and
thereafter he drew only to amuse his
friends and his children.
All his energies were bent toward
learning to write and learn TO write
he did.
Many men are born with little tai
ent for several different activities.
And many such ruin their lives by
scattering their energies instead Of
they can do best
Time allotted to man is insufficient
for the mastery Of even single art
or profession.
Few men, however great, ever die
with the feeling that they have reached
anything like the standards they set
for themselves.
There is always something still to
learn when the summons comes to lay
labor aside forever.
The surest way to win the measure
OF success that your abilities can com
mand is to select the profession or the
trade or the business you most en-
Joy following, and keep at that to the
exclusion of every thing else save
needful recreation.
1t is a poor set Of brains that cannot
learn to do one thing particularly
we'll 1t Is a miraculous brain that
can learn TO do two things even fairly
we'll.

STARVING?
Wooden Trusts Profits
Reach Staggering Pro-
portions

New York - With wages going
down and millions of wage earners
idle in the greatest depression this
country has ever experienced, the
American Woolen Company cody an
nounces that its profits last year were
$9,192, ,621.73 In 1920, another year
of depression, the profits totalled
$6,S55 ,259.16.
These staggering profits, at time
when hunger and want are abroad in
the land, have been continuous since
the beginning of the world war. In
1918 the trust increased its clear pro-
fits 316 per cent over 1914. The net
increase in common stock earnings
was 53l per cent.
Last years profits of more than
nine million dollars comes near equal
ling the trusts record year of 1919,
when clear profits were $10,779, ,804
In 1913 the earnings per share on
common stock was $1386, total of
$5,572, ,527.
In his report on last years immense
profits, President Wood attempts to
create the impression that the wooden
trust had difficulties. He said last
year was zone of the most trying in
the company's experience.
1t is quite possible, however, that
the trust officials can survive their
troubles, in view of their fabulous
income at time when wages are cut

COMPRESSED AIR
Contributed by Mr.. L. B.

HE first compound compression of air
was probably suggested in the patent
to VIM. Mann in 1929, for what was
then called stage pumping, or the use of
two or more cylinders with intercooling;
which was then properly claimed not only
to effect great economy in COMPRISING air,
but also to decrease the machinery strain
and to admit of lighter construction of the
compressor. In 1880 and on, Clegg &
Pinkus, in England, agitated the system
of a slotted tube and travelling piston with
vacuum or air pressure, with connections
to an outside carriage. Experiments were
carried on through several years without
success, although trials were made with
short lines of slotted air tubes in England
and Ireland.
In 1880, -Thilorier compressed gases to
high pressures in stages, for which he re-
ceived medal from the French Academy.
The air-plunger pump for producing fire
by compressed air was family adjunct
before friction matches came into use, an
apparatus made of cast iron barrel weigh
ing several pounds, with a bore three
eighths inch in diameter, like cannon
without the vent steel piston about
eight inches long, was accurately fitted,
but moved rather easily when fabricated.
The end of the piston had small cavity
for receiving a piece of. punk, the handle
was provided with a stop or shoulder to
stop the plunger from stricking the bottom
in its sudden movement. The weight of
the barrel, pushed by hand, acted by its
momentum to complete the final pressure
of, probably 800 pounds per square inch,
with an instantaneous evolution of tenn
perature to a red heat, which fired the
punk quick withdrawal of the plunger
and the touch of sulphur match COM
pleted the operation of generating fire.
Following the agitation of the slotted
tube system of Clegg & Pinkus, in 1880,
the subject was revived by Count Fon-
tainemoreau, in 1874 and trials were made
with unsatisfactory results. The parcel
tube transmission system was. again
brought to the surface in England about
1860. A thirty inch tube, a quarter mile
in length, was constructed at Battersea,
and afterward removed to London and
used for the mail between district offices.
This was followed in 1864 by larger
and longer line.
The trials of Mr.. A. E. Beach in New
York City in 1867, with an eight-foot sub
way under Broadway for the propulsion
of passenger cars by air pressure, seemed
a step in the right direction, and failed
only from apathy in financial circles. The
pneumatic tube system simply slumbered
for time, and was then developed into
its most useful work; at the present time
it is largely in use for interpostal and
telegraphic Office connections in Europe
and the U. S., the store cash system, in
its intricate detail, promptness, and ac-
curacy, is a modern wonder.
Compressed air for machine driving
crane-hoisting and other mechanical pur-
poses was agitated in England in 1S4O
and on, with patents on detail plants for
the Transmission of compressed air from
central station to distant hosting engines
in warehouses and on docks. Ericsson, in
1883, compressed air by the power of
