Something to
Think Ab0uf
WORDS OF CHEER
b r. II. WALKER

TT YOU cannot give frequent, EN-
= eouraging woEds of cheer to your
home mates and to those with whom
you come in contact during your work
ing hours, 1, would be better to bride
your tongue and seal your lips.
A rough word roughly spoken, pro-
duces nothing but evil and drives
many a sensitive soul to despair. 1t
rouses animosity and hate. quite the
opposite of a kindly word which awak-
ems slumbering emotions and kindles
a benefeent flame of love.
1t may at times. especially when You
are not in a pleasant humor. cost a
great effort to launch the cheerful
word, but If o will brush aside your
own turbulent feelings. and send forth
the cheer and sunshine of which you
are capable of doing, you. too, to your
amazement, will participate In their
delicious sweets and enjoy the thrill
of an u~nanticipated pleasure.
From the first moment when you
begin TO practice the scattering OF
cheering words. the whole atmosphere
around you changes.
The world somehow seems drawn
closer to heaven, and everything and
everybody about you appears brighter
and happier.
In reality, there is no change except
In yourself. You have sown happiness
and are reaping happiness.
No,, have A,no hr1aIoact the canofi
fled blessings and they are returning
to you from every point of the COM
pass, filling your soul with a Joy I'M
speakable.
participating in its delights without
knowing it. growing more lovable as
the years speed by, dim your eye and
whiten your hair.
Old friends turn to you in their
sorrow for comfort.
The boys and girls go out of their
way to meet and greet you.
Even the derelicts have in some
ann heard your praises sung and
respect you.
Their bleary eyes brighten and their
tough old hearts soften when your
name Is spoken. In spite Of their gen
eral belief that they are invulnerable
to the gentle touches of kindness.
The greatest workers for the up
lifting Of humanity are the little words
Of cheer. which, when fifty spoken
often change beasts to men. spur them
to loftier endeavor and urn their
terrible night into a glorious day.

Common sense will tell anyone that
Mr.. Davis is nearer right than is the
Associated Press. That payments
are made in Europe as first INSTALL
ments for the service Of delivering
foreigners over the American line no
one has a right to doubt. but that the
illicit immigrant will lie down and
not make the effort 10 60 through
on a deal he knew to start with was
criminal is the height of a~bsurdity.
Mr.. Davis claims to be unable with
the appropriation allowed by con
gress to cope with this tidal wave.
He lacks means of keeping out The
hordes and probably before congress
gets around to it TO furnish the
money and strengthen his hands a
couple of million more of the worst
Of humanity will be allowed in, their
coming of itself being a crime.
Meanwhile the steel trust and its
propagandists are shouting labor
shortage. If there is a labor short
age under these circumstances i'm
migration will not cure it. In hiring
every foreigner it can get nobody will
accuse the steel trust of asking them
whether they came in under the
quota as fixed by law or struggled
themselves in. They are being hired
anyway and yet a labor shortage is
still the cry.
1t is minated strongly in eonnee-
ton with the Davis statement that
the steel trust is behind the snug
Cling conspiracy.

SUGAR PROFTTEERS N

Carson CITY Appeal. What the
Appeal said just three years ago ma,
be reprinted tiday without Injustice

following has not changed since the
day the editorial was printed three
years age:
Why not compel the p%roatecrs TO

people of this form OF tax.

peal said. on absolutely good author

TARIFF on SUGAR.

If President Harding thinks he has
gained some millions OF votes by his
advocacy of q membership in the
world court under the League of Ma
tions, ne has lost all of them and
other millions besides by his refusal
TO reduce the tariff on sugar when
pr~ofteers are fleeing the people.
With him in the white house any
and all laws empowering the presi-
dent to suspend or reduce taft duties
are that much waste breath and
waste paper. His excuse is that a re-
duction would not affect the price OF
sugar and that it would injure the
industry.
Not much consistency in this. Ii
it would not reduce the price how
could 1t injure the industry?

NOT RON

That the packing trust has passed
out of the hands of its former own
ers and into those of Wall street, and
that the packers themselves are on
the rocks financially, these circum-
stances being due to the competition
of more efficient independent packers.
is the statement of a labor newspa-
per, which claims that these facts,
though unpublished, are notorious in
Washington and New York and are
known in every big daily newspaper
Office in the country.
II this is true il will mean that in
one particular the public has been
unjust to the packers, which is that
of disbelieving the reports that they
have sent out since the war, claim
ing that they were losing money.
1t would mean thai the absorption
of Morris & Co. by IN, Armours vas
an absorption OF both by Wall street,
and the story goes further 10 say that
it is planned IL feed ont an immense
lot of shares to the public. converting
what nee was a real industry into a
blSdUtit SlOth lObDlu6 ElifCI.t.
1t is related further that the for
mer packers are offering for sale
their palaces, various estates and
other private properties and are rent
ing flats for their homes.
1t is claimed that in 1905 the pack
ness in the country in their lines and
in 1920 it had increased to 10 pr
cent. The decline which set in that
year brought 1t down again until it
is now given as 59.5 per cent.
This has a somewhat plausible
sound. but for one circumstance more
noticeable in the west and in stock
growing regions generally than il
may have back at Washington. where
the labor journal Is published. That
circumstance IS the eloquent fact that
while cattle have been sold for less
than one-third OF the price that they
brought prior to 1920, meat has re-
manned at practically the same figure
throughout. and that while hides
have actually not brought enough at
times to pay the freight and are at
this time rapidly declining. leather
and shoes have not dropped off as
much as 20 per cen on an average
from war days. Right today it takes
more than an average hide to bring
the cattlenan 50, which hide will
make many pairs of shoes, yet one
pair of shoes, decently made from the
same hide. cannot be had for less
than S12.
In the big decline of 1929. the
same affecting nothing as 1t did cat
tie and sheep, yet not affecting meats
and leather, somebody had to be the
gamer. At that time there were no
offers whatever for cattle for several
weeks iI this part of the country.
yet during that period there was
never n decline of as much as a frac-
tion OF one per cen in the price OF
a pair of shoes or of plain leather.
In that period, which is the iden
tical time when the packers and the
labor journal claim they made big
losings. somebody made enormous
profits, and on a similar basis for
three years and right up to this min
ute somebody is still making an enor-
nous profit. II 1t Is not the packers,

Well, there's a heroic band which

But the first real step toward the

eighteenth century, less than $50
years ago. More progress has been
made in swift transportation since
the development of the first steam
engine than in the go centuries of
recorded history before it.
The first recorded attempt at
driving a vehicle by steam seems
to have been in 1870 by Cugnot. A
single wheel in front served as
steering and driving wheel. This
weird creation moved at speed Of
two aud one fourth miles per hour.
