SUPPOSE YOU LIVED in
GERMANY

Came from Berlin the other day the
announcement the Hugo SHINES was
investing two hundred million in
gold marks-about fifty million dol
lars in the good money of the United
States-in an extension of his vast
banking interests. If you happened
to read that item-and it was official
What impression did it leave with
you? Perhaps it didn't sink deep
enough in your consciousness to start
you thinking. But these are some
facts about Germany which every
one ought to grasp.
For Germany is a country OF bitter
contrasts. The rich are becoming
richer and the poor poorer, for the
reason that thrift is thing OF the
past. Only the great industriallsts
and the profteers are piling up their
fortunes and slowing their wealth
away in safe places. They manu-
facture with the all but worthless
paper marks that the printing presses
are turning out by the ton. They sell
abroad for sound money and bank
their profits where the German Gov
ernment cannot touch them. There is
no inducement for workers to save,
for day by day the mark declines IN
value 1t may purchase something
today which will double in price to-
morrow. And so the mark is spent
as soon as received--literally scat
tered to the winds.
Suppose you had been living in
Germany previous to the war. You
had toiled and accumulated monery for
investment You had purchased Gov
ernment or Municipal bonds, say, or
had put your earnings into the bonds
of industrial establishments or had
gone in for real estate and were liv-
ing upon the income received from
rentals or mortgages. If you had
done any of these things, you would
now find yourself a pauper. Your
capital would have been swept away
For reputation has been complete
Had you trusted your government,
you would have been swindled. For
the government has paid it's debt, not
in the good money which was invested
in it's obligations, but in the fearful
deprecated marks which have a face
value only, a face value which is in
itself a lie. The National Govern
ment has cleaned up, SO have munich
pal governments, so have industrial
establishments, so have all debtors.
Never in the history OF the world has
such a tremendous crime been COM
mitted. Men with incomes before the
war have been deprived of any in
come whatever. They have been rob
! bed right and left. Even their bank
deposits, made in good faith, were
paid in wretched paper-a worthless
paper mark for a gold mark. The
same with insurance policies.
Be glad that you live in the United
States of America, not in Germany,
where the robber barons plunder at
will and a government leads the way
| and nrOtectS them

PATRIOTISM NOT MECHANICAL

William G.. McAdoo, former director
general of the railroads, addressing
the students at the annual commence
ment of the University of Southern
California at Los Angeles, said:
"Do not call yourself 100 per cent
pure American. Patriotism is not
measured in percentages. One hun,
dred per cent is the mathematical
equation for perfection, and one must
not be so pharisaical as to claim that
he is a perfect citizen under the dis
guise of mathematical equation or
otherwise. Patriotism is not a matter
of mathematics. 1t has no limlta..
tions. Patriotism is matter OF
service, of soul. 1t is transcen-
dent thing, and is not proved by as
servations of perfection or more pro
testations.
"Be just. Be tolerant. Love honor.
The lowly Nazarene was the great
apostle of justice, tolerance, and love,
and He became the Saviour of man
kind. Lincoln was just and tolerant
and he became immortal"

FAKE ADVERTISING SCHEMES

That the fake solicitors and adver-
tising grafters are doing a serious
damage to the trade union movement
is the opinion expressed by the Edl-
tor of The Railway Clerk, the .ofti,,
cial publication of the Brotherhood
of Railway Clerks, in an article IN
tbs months issue relative to the fake
solicitors in the Labor movement. he
states that the country is fairly
flooded with this type of crook and
cites recent case brought to his at
tention, that of a solicitor by the
name of F. H. Creveling, who claims
to be representing the Order of Rail-
way Expressmen.
This bird has been working hold
up game in several Illinois towns.
Also a party by the name of Brad
shaw, who has been soliciting adver-
tisements from merchants in Mem
phis, Tenn, claiming to represent the
Brotherhood of Railroad Clerks,
Freight Handlers and Expressmen.
Local lodges and system boards are
urged to warn advertisers to watch
out for this brand of crooks and
takers.

TO VETS AND DRYS-BOTH OF
YOU!


Did it ever strike your mind that
the subject of Prohibition may be
made such steaming issue as to con-
ceal other matters of Importance to
this nation?
Concede that today Prohibition is
the most discussed single subject in
this country-do you see how it is to
the advantage Of certain interests to
have you both so blinded by it that
you can't see anything else?
At every crisis of the public mind
the shrewd strategists of Privilege
attempt to create a diversion. Moth
ing was ever done contrary to the
peoples interest when the people were
steadily looking on: But if a side
fight could be started to draw off the
peoples attention, the evil thing could
be accomplished.
1t is not intimated that Prohibition
is a side fight. Indeed, that is where
the big politians are hugging them
selves with joy They have a fight
that looks like the main battle to use
in this campaign-they can ring the
changes on Prohibition pro and con,
until the whole population is drawn
off from the question of whether
Privilege is to reign longer over us.
Think it over.
One instance comes to mind. Only
a few months ago the financial power
OF the East was sending out cries of
alarm, it feared that the country was
to be swept by a demand for a re-
vision of the system by which the
peoples money rights were leaking
away to the peoples greater impover-
ishment All guns were set in that
direction. 1t was from that side that
battle was expected.
Then began a flank movement.
From the very seat of False Finance
there came out this new Prohibition
challenge Little by little it rose like
a smoke cloud. New York State re-
pudiated her dry law. Fires of the
same kind were laid in other states.
Presto. the public interest famed, the
concentrated attention of the people
drawn off. Prohibition was made the
smoke screen.
Mr.. Wet, this applies to you, too.
You are just as much duped as any
one else Both Wet and Dry ought
to join hands and push through the
smoke screen to see what their COM
mon enemies are preparing to do on
the other side.-From Dearborn In

ANOTHER BOOST FOR FORD

B'gosh, Henry Ford's chances OF
being nominated for president are
getting better day by day. The latest
boost comes from Charles D. Hilles,
Republican national committeeman
from New York, the man who man
aged Taft's disastrous campaign,
Hilles announces that he is making
arrangements with the national Re
nublican and Democratic committees
Whereby Ford's chances will be en-
tirely removed. :,
Which ought to convince the aver
aoe voter that the professional poll.
tians of both parties are "in-and-in"
on all deals, and whoever they ,o!p-
nose must be an honest, worthwhile
man.-Dayton Labor Review.

FARMER-LABOR VICTORY

The triumphant election of Magnus
Johnson, farmer-labor candidate to
the U. S. senate over j. A. o. Preuss'
Republican governor of Minnesota 10
fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Senator Knute Nelson, is a mag
nifcent victory of the farmer and
working man over the powers of Wall
street and high finance; and what
makes the result more significant is
the fact that the defeated candidate
was the choice of President Harding
and the present administration whose
influence was eXerted to the utmost
to secure his success.
Governor Preuss had announced his
support of the policies Of the Harding
administration, while senator-elect
Johnson openly declared his allegiance
to the principles by which the La
Toilette group is banded together al
though qualifying his statement that
he would not accept dictatlon from
any man in congress, and this sltua-
tion gave a decided Harding versus
La Toilette aspect to the campaign.
President Samuel Gompers OF the
A. F. of L., congratulated Mr.. john
son as follows:
"To have won so magniticently
against all the power of high finance
is not only a personal tribute to you
and the fundamental principles for
which you stand, but also a demon
stration that the people are tired with
mere word-mongers and insist upon
progressive, constructive legislation
for all people, for the wealth pro-
1,,corc on farm and in factories"

Famous Chinese Tombs.

The famous Ming tombs are located
near Marking, China. On the road
that leads to them from Marking are
colossal figures of carved stone. These
are statues of Chinese kings. The
Mongols under Genghis Khan's sue
cessor swept across Asia n Russia
and overran Hungary. He defeated
the Germans and Poles in 1874. But
the mongols were beaten by Egypt in
1860. After that their power waned,
and China was able to throw off the
Mongol yoke in 1860, when she estab-
lished a rule of native kings-the
great Ming dynasty. Under the
Mings, China fiourished until 1914.
Then the Manchus, another Mongol
people, reconquered China, and re-
manned masters until 1912.
There is a fence built around these
statues, because the Chinese believe
that the statues would be very mad
if a common Chinaman were to touch
them.

HELD "PEACE PIPE" SACRED
Importance to the Ceremony That
Accompanied Its Smoking.

The smoking of the pipe of Peace"
among the American Indians was a
ceremony attended with great solem-
nifty. The peace pipe, called by the
French the calumet, vas treated with
great reverence and was brought out
only upon the most important occa-
sions, such as the making of peace
treaties, the reception of a distin-
guished stranger with whom the tribe
wished to be upon good terms. If the
occasion did not bring forth the pipe
of peace, 1t was a sign of hostility.
was a cause of offense. The calumet
was between two and three inches
long, and the stem rather than the
bowl was the object of the Indians
reverence. The stem was of reed,
artistically decorated with Women's
hair or eagles quilts. Among the
western tribes the pipe bowl was of
red catlinite, a ine-grained stone of
deep red color found in Coteau des
Prairies, west of Big Stone lake, in
South Dakota. The Indians Of the
South and East made the bowl of
white stone pierced with several holes
so that several stems could be used at
the same time. The calumet quarries
were regarded as neutral ground
among the warning tribes and there
were many sacred traditions connect
ed with these spots.

LEGENDS OF KING SOLOMON
Famous Monarch's Magic Carpet la
One of the Best KnoWn-Con-
corning Angel of Death.

A Well-knOwn Mohammedan myth is
about King Solomon and a magic car
pet. The legend is to the effect that
Solomon, in his intense pride in his
horses and chariots, which were a du-
bious and half-fOrbidden innovation
among the adjuncts of Jewish royalty,
had once been surprised in the midst
of a review by the voice Of the muez-
Yin eastern legends are Indifferent
about anachronisms) and the sum
mons to the evening prayer. Not
knowing how to attend in time to this
religious duty, Solomon ~magnifcently
%consecrated all his 10000 horses to
Allah and his service. In reward for
this sacrifice, Allah presented Solomon
with a magic carpet, which would at
a wish, transport to any distance the
person who sat upon it.
Once, as Solomon was consulting
with his grand vizier, Azrael, the An
gel of Death, passed by and gazed Gu
riously at the %vizier, who, in alarm,
entreated the king to lend him the
magic carpet, and bade it transport
him to the center of the desert of
Arabia. No sooner had he gone than
Azrael said to the king, "Ilooked at
that man so closely because, having
been forbidden to summon his soul
from the center of the great desert, /
him, to my surprise, standing here
with you"
The legend is supposed to illustrate
two truths-that no mar can ever es-
his destiny, and that often he
fulfills it the more certainly by the
very endeavor to escape it.

MONT. PLANTS MORE ACRES OF
CORN, BARLEY, FLAX-LESS
WHEAT AND POTATOES

Helena. April 24.-The results OF
a nationwide survey on the inten-
tions Of farmers in respect to plant
ing this spring has recently been an
nounced by the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics from Washington. 1t
shows how much of the principal
crops the farmers intend to plant in
comparison with last years acreage.
According to the farmers inten-
tons about April LIST, the following
percentage reductions in United Sta
ties acreages compared to last year
will be made in crops noted: Spring
wheat. SIS per cent; potatoes, 81
e cent; sweet potatoes, 2.5 per cent;
Increases are indicated for the fol-
lowing: Corn, 2.6 per cent; oats
90 per cent; barley, 81 per cent;
flax. 800 per cent; and cotton II
per cent. In this connection it
should be remembered that there was
a decrease of 80 per cent in the total
acreage sown to winter wheat last
fall.
Prospective decreases in the potato
acreage in II important potato states
were as follows: Maine, 7 per cent;
New Jersey, South Dakota and Ne
braska, Is per cent; New York and
Wisconsin, 6 per cent; Virginia, 9
per cent; Michigan, 8 per cent; Col
orado. 20 per cent; North Dakota,
25 per cent; and Idaho, % per cent.
The western states show much heavier
decreases than others.
For Montana a decrease of 5 per
CEN in the spring wheat acreage
was shown to be in prospect, as well
as heavy decreases in the rye and
notato acreages. Montana's winter
wheat acreage was reduced last fall.
The survey indicated that Montana
farmers would plant much more corn
and more oats, barley, tame hay and
minor crops, including sugar beets,
peas. beans, etc.
Montana farmers will likely be
most interested in the intended plant
ing of spring wheat, flax and potatoes
although heavy changes in either di-
in the country's acreage OF
other staple crops such as corn, cot
or oats. would be likely to at
the demand for Montana pro- :
ducts later on.
This is the first general survey of
his kind to be conducted, and it :
should not be interpreted as a fore .
.ast on the acreage to be planted. !
It rather represents the aggregate :
