Senators Couzens and Cappef

progressive railroad policy now
in Washington-made crisp re-
plies today to the current state

earding their plans for increased
efficiency in railroad service dur
ing the period between now and
the time of the meeting of the
next Congress.
La. Toilette Holds Key.
Senator couzens viii spend the
summer in Washington studying
the railroad Question from. the
standpoint of man of large bust

chairman of the farm bloc" has
been keeping in close touch with
agricultural interests and their
opinions. Senator La Toilette, as the
organizer of the new progressive
bloc will hold the key position in

resSive bloc" will begin holding the
balance of power between the reg.

1t is believed that the in

OF the progressive" element in
Congress toward the transportation
problem in politics at this time.

favor the repeal of the Esch-Cummins law creating the railroad
labor board. 1t has not worked well. It has served as a source of lrrita-
ton among railroad mn rather than as a means of soothing them, Its

am in sympathy with most of the economic purposes of the farm

to be I better prepared than we were in 1917. l am IN sympathy witt arms
limitation in a general way, and in favor of anything that will make

effective than the league Of nations plan for preventing conflict.
The international policies of Senator LaFonette and those who agree
with him do not meet my approval. 1 am a progressive and 1 believe IN

The government should stop child labor of the kind that stunts the

Especially among women a far greater hazard of evil results from low

RAIN AND WIND
@NARY GRAHAM bOQS0tR

"Hello." said the King of the Clouds
To Mr.. Wind.
Hello" said Mr.. Wind, and he
whistled a great long whistle. Then
he blew and he shouted:
TN Mr.. Wind and I'm wild today,
I'm full of pranks, I'm full of play.
1 don't care what the people say,
1 am going to have a time so gay"
The King of the Clouds laughed.
for the Wind was certainly full of en-
ergy and good spirits. He seemed al
most beside himself with joy. oh, how
hard he was blowing. Everything
seemed to be blown about that he
touched. Even the ears of dogs
tapped in the wind, though they DID
stay attached to their owners heads!
And the people were either blown
about when they were out or had to
keep their windows down indoors or
all their things would be blown about.
Yet it was quite hot and really a day
which would be called a muggy day.
They really wanted to open their
windows wide so they could have the
air. But if they opened them more
than a crack the papers began to
blow and the curtains blew so that
they looked as though they would
come down, and the ornaments locke
as though they would smash down
and break.
at has been warm lately" said the
King of the Clouds. land people have
said how things have grown. People
who have been in cities all through
the week and who have gone out on
Saturdays and Sundays have said as
they have looked at the flowers and
the shrubs and the trees and the
leaves, oh, how they have grown
Eyes, they have spoken of the flow
ers just as though they were chill
dren, for you know how people will
say to children, How you have grown
"And the people have even said to
the flowers, Why, last week you were
nothing but a little bud, and here you
are all out
'In just the very same way that
people will say to a child, why, my
dear, you seemed only a baby so short
a time ago, and here you are grown
up almostr
"And the flowers have said that of
course they have grown just as chill
dren grow, and that it really is very
silly to seem so surprised about it.
But the flowers have said that people
didn't say these things to them in a
patronizing way, as they often did
to children, which made it all right.
"And some people AVE said that
they could actually see the flowers
growing-opening before their very
eyes.
The Wind kept blowing and blow
ing and pretty soon the King Of the
Clouds spoke again.
"Mr. Wind, wouldn't you like me TO
Join you? The people are all saying
that 1t Is looking overcast and as

am all ready for a good frolic. 1 am
eager for fun"
"Join me, join me by all MEANS"
said Mr.. Wind.
So the King of the Clouds Joined
Mr.. Wind and Mr.. Wind blew and the
King Of the Clouds called forth all the
Army of Raindrops and what a time
they had.
They chased wei the pavements
and the roads and the sidewalks
Mr.. Wind after them! They ran races
They had so beautiful a time.
"Well WELL" laughed the King of
the Clouds, 81 did hear such a funny
thing just now. Someone opened a
window and poked her head out for a
second and then she said, 'Oh, mercy,
it Is raining to beat the band
"Now that is a Joke! l may beat
down upon payements and the roads
and the sidewalks but I don't beat
the band. l wouldn't know how to
beat a drum, nor would I know how
to play an instrument and so make
music. Fancy the King of the Clouds
playing a saxophone or a cornet
What funny expressions people use"
And then the King of the Clouds
and Mr.. Wind raced and chased even
more and oh, such a wind and rain
storm as it was.
The people who were indoors shook
their heads and said, Impossible to go
out on a day like this" And the ones
who were already out-of-doors got
soaked-drenched right through all
their clothes.

Future American Army Must Be Composed of
Normal. While, Healthy Men
By LT-coL. JULIUS R. KLINE. staff Specialist. U. S A.


The watehword Of the United States army is efficiency. To perfect
an efficient defense the defenders of the nation must be 100 per cent
efficient. Efficiency means men-real men-normal and healthy both In
body and mind.
The nation does not contemplate training men to destroy other men,
but it does seek to 50 train men that they will be able to defend themselves,
should occasion arise, against other men who may attack the nation. The
future army must be composed Of normal, virle, healthy men.
The nation, to maintain its supremacy, needs such men. The future
of the generations to come demands real men to perpetuate the nation.
We must produce and maintain men and women healthy physically men
tally and morally.
The government aims to train men so that physically they are in
truth images Of their Creator; mentally, that they will be able to reason
for themselves, and show a proper respect for the laws Of the nation, and
morally, that they shall 50 live and act as to be Of credit to this nation,
which has always respected God, humanity and freedom Of all mankind.
To this end the citizens military training camps have been instituted.

7 am opposed to p~rcefxng legislation applying to farm products
Without the incentive Or opportunity to trade and with no reason for

Government by Blocs Leads to Glass War, of AL
Conflicts Most Cruel

Government BY boes, carried to its ultimate conclusion, leads to but
one destnaton-cass war, Of all conflicts the most cruel, ruthless and
destructive. The bloc system Is designed to favor a minority, a certain
class, regardless of the effect upon the majority. It is history that no
bloc or class has ever maintained itself in power for any length of time
in any nation without resort to miltarsm and confseation.
