Things We Think

4oIqe q4!M peeu eul wEu 4!u 'laA!1p p!M oL 'The man convinced against his wll," goes around and tells his friends how he beat you in the argument Don't pay any attention to accepted maxims Troubles often do singly and happiness often comes douby Hold your tongue everywhere but not in praise What is it that causes who knows his little business think that makes him authority other peoples big business?
 The man with the biggest mind make it up the most quickly.
 Same with wives as with automobies-it's not the original cost but the upkeep
 Headaches may be acquired by overeating, but not often by overthinking.
 A salary is lovely thing
 like it very much;
 It pays for oil and gasoline
 And repairs, and such. Did you ever know broker who really broke? His wife will you that humorst has humored much anybody else is perfectly proper to say that belong to lodges They certainly don't belong to their homes The world is pretty well divided between those who paying income and those who kick because they haven't income big enough to pay tax upon.

SUBSIDIZED TRACTORS

While we are mulling over the question of ship subsidy the French have gone so far as to subsidize tractors. Tests were recently held in which the tractors entered were obliged to conform to certain very specific conditions the heavy agricultural type being successful The purpose of this subsidization is to consti- ute a reserve of military tractor material for heavy artillery transportation. It is the desire of the Republicans to form from our merchant marine naval auxiliary. But our merchant marine is going to pot unless it is enabled to compete with foreign ocean carriers by means of subsidy If the French can subsidize their tractors, we ought to be able to subsidze our merchant marine the purpose of which would be to enable us to make our own deliveries of American products and to be equipped with auxiliary defense on the high seas.

The Associated Press reports from Berlin that the trade mark ''Made in Germany" soon may be stamped again on German ex- port wares, for the agitation to revive this trade mark, which was known in three-fourths of the market cities of the world before the war; has been increasing in industrial and commercial circles.
 If the Republican protective tariff bill is not soon passed the people of the United Sta tes will not have to rely on newspaper re- ports to get this information They will have reminders of it every day as they read "Made in Germany on thousands of articles which are displacing the domestic production. Last year we imported eighty million dollars worth of goods from Germany, That doesn't sound like such an awful lot, until one begins to study the import value of the goods and finds

WRITE OFF AND BUY MORE

The Shipping Board is taking steps to aid the purchasers of its ships at the time when they were worth much more than they are at present. It is reported that forty-two compan- figure four times the present market value of the steamers. It is understood the Board is to permit those concerns to write off the cost of their fleets to their present replacement value, provided they are willing to buy more ships, The action of the Board, of course, was not obligatory. It could have held every one of those early purchasers to the full payment of their contracts of sale, but it probably would have forced many of them into bank ruptcy, which would have been blow to the whole American merchant marine. The policy of the Shipping Board is dictated by the best interests of the country as a whole.

TREATMENT AT ONCE

The economic benefit of the naval reduction treaty are to be felt at once. While no scrap ping of ships is to be undertaken until all par ties to the reaty have ratified it, President Harding has given orders that work on eight superdreadnoughts and six big battle cruisers be suspended. Payments for construction of those ships have been made at the approNi- mate rate of $5,0O0,000 a month. Of course the eventual saving on each ship will not be the difference between her cost to date and the contract price, as settlements with the con tractors will have to be made with an allow ance of profit to them which they otherwise would have. received. There is, however, a present saving of $5,000,OOO month, with a future saving of at least part of the cost of completion, and all of the cost of maintenance, personnel, and operation.

Lay this at the shrine of Mid. Summer poetry: If she didn't have her hair bobbed
 If she didn't daub with paint, If she had her dresses made to reach
 To where the dresses aint, If she didn't have that baby voice
 And spoke just as she should; Don't you think she'd be as popular
 I hardly think she would.
