WHEN CRABS WEAR HELMETS
When Very Young, Wear
Spiked Cap.

You can see from his legs and claws,
and from his armor-plated suit, that
the crab is related to the lobster. But
what has happened to his tail? 1t is
there all right, but he wears it tucked
up underneath him. Turn him on his
back and you will see it.
In his young days the crab is like
tadpole, except that he has on his
head what looks like a little round
helmet provided with a long sharp
spike. At this time of his life he
swims about actively.
Presently he sheds the skin he Is
wearing, and emerges a totally differ
ent creature. The spiked cap has
gone; the eyes that formerly were
flush with his head are now mounted
on stalks. The tail has grown long
er, and it Is armed with row Of
swimming paddles.
at the next change of skin the body
is shorter and broader and the tail is
smaller. Successive "moults" bring
him gradually nearer and nearer to
his final shape, and eventually he
tucks his tail under him, adopts a
sideways gait, and becomes the crab
as we know him.

Big Sugar Dividends
S3a Year on $40 Share

Why not publish to housewives who
are still busy canning with high priced
sugar the news that stockholders at
the owning end Of the sugar industry
are getting 80 per cent dividends
The information could be distributed
with each ten pounds of sugar pur-
chased at the local grocery store. A
window sign might read:
Sugar 1Oc-Sugar dividends So a year
on each SO invested.
Cuban American Sugar Co., one OF
the largest producers of raw sugar
has lust declared a 75c cash dividend
This looks small but it comes around
four times a year. 4X75c-S3 year
on a $40 investment.
Three years ago the par value OF
stock was reduced from 500 to S1C
so as to hide from the public the
enormous profits being made on this
household necessity. That means that
each stockholder suddenly found that
he had ten times as many shares as
he had before. The public is fooled be-
cause dividends are published in cash
and not in percentages.
From 1916 to 1919 this great su-
gar concern paid annual dividends OF
10 per cent, together with one 40 pei
cent extra dividend. In 1920 annual
dividends totaled 40 per cent. In 1921
the total cash distributed to stock
holders amounted to 25 per cent of
their nominal investment. Between
1916 and the present stockholders
have received as their share of
profits more than one and half
times the entire par value of their in
vestment.
A fairer division between house
wives and sugar stockholders would
reduce one important item in the fam
ilv food bill.

Object Of "Round Robin"

Round robin" Is name often given
to petition signed by a number Of
persons in circular form. By putting
the signatures in a circle undue prom
inence to any particular person is
avoided. This method is often en-
plOyed when the leaders of secret
undertaking for redress of grievances
are afraid to sign their names at the
top Of the list on a protest or remon-
STRANGE sent to one In authority. If a
round robin Is properly signed it is
impossible to detect which signatures
were placed on the paper first. The
principle Is similar to that which
caused the legendary King Arthur to
seat his knights at round table Ac-
cording to tradition Arthur's council
table was semi i-circular In form and
each knight present was the same dis
tance from the distinguished king.
The round table was to avoid jealousy
among the different members of a
company-the round robin Is to pro-
tect the leaders of a possibly danger
GUS enterprise.

ABSENTEE OWNERSHIP IN
PORTO RICO

Porto Rico is afflicted with every
evil connected with absentee owner
ship, declared Santiago Iglesias, A. F.
of L. organizer and senator of Porto
Rico, who has arrived in this country.
He is president of the Porto Rico
branch of the A. F. of L., and will at
tend the Portland convention of the
A. F. of L., where he will present
grievances of Porto Rican workers.
"Our workers are oppressed beyond
measure" declared the visiting trade
unionist, who said that sugar barons
and other industrial autocrats are
stripping the island of its wealth
while education and internal improve
ments are neglected.
Under the law, the amount of land
that these corporations can hold is
limited, but many of the more power
ful combinations make no attempt to
observe this act, and have seized much
of the islands choice lands.

CORPORATIONS HIDE PROFITS

If wage ealners were close observ-
ers of the stock market, they would
soon know the corporations that are
earning big profits and which are
forced to issue stock dividends to hide
their gains.
Those profits are not supposed to be
a subject of interest to common folks.
Only investors and financiers are eX-
pected to know, for instance, that
the past eight years the Studebaker
automobile corporation showed earn
ings for it's preferred of $769.23 for
each of its shares having a par value
of 500.
The same is true Of the steel trust,
which reported earnings of $266.2O
for each share; National Biscuit,
S185.70 for each share, and American
car and foundry, 1927 for each share.
Big profits are shown by railway
equipment companies, department
houses, woolen goods, dry goods, to-
bacco, ice, rubber, locomotives, ma
chinery, rubber goods and asphalt.
All report a golden stream of profits,
while publicly deploring that labor
"must be contended" and that workers
"must produce more if industry is to
survive"

DO NOT RECOGNIZE MILITARY
DESPOTISM

The United States should refuse to
recognize the military despotism
which have been set up in various
countries of Europe.
We should not attempt to tell the
people of other nations how they
should run their domestic affairs. On
that point the United States should
adhere to the principle laid down IN
the Declaration of independence that
governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed"
But we have a right and duty to
refuse to enter into diplomatic rela-
tions with military juntas which sue
ceeded through force in seizing the
reins of government.
We have heard great deal of late
about the United States Saving"
Europe. The most effective contribu-
ton we could make in that direction
would be declaration by President
Coolidge that this country in all its
international relations still stands for
DEMOCRACY as against AUTOC-
RACY.-LabOr.

RACE BETWEEN AUTOS AND
BUILDING DOLLARS

For every SO of outlay on new build
ings the American people are spend
ing 81 for automobiles, according to
the midmonth business bulletin of the
Cleveland Trust Co. During the past
four years." the review says, "motor
expenditures have amounted to about
Sc, 100000 and those for new
buildings about $10,000,000,000."
"Whether or not these relative pro-
portions are for the best good of the
nation" the review continues, "and
whether or not they will be substan-
TALLY maintained in the future, are
questions which it seems are impos-
sible to answer now. What seems
clear is that the peaks of production
records have been reached and that
declining volumes of output are to be
expected in both industries in the
coming months"

Rock Island Penalties
74-Year-OId EmpIOye

Chicago-James F. Low, ST., had a
record of 35 years. continuous service
as a shop employe of the Rock Island
Railroad when he retired on a pension
upon reaching his 74th birthday, on
April /, 1922-three months before
the shop strike began. The pension
was supposed to average $36.41 a
month, with an annual pass for life
over the system.
On November A, 1922, Low left his
home at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to attend
the funeral of relative at Mime
apolis. On his return trip the con-
ductor, acting under instructions of
the railroad officials, took up the pass
and made Low pay the usual fare of
$9.72.
Reaching Cedar Rapids, Low took
the matter up with the local company
officials with respect to his pass and
pension, which had never been paid,
but received no satisfaction. The mat
ter dragged along until May 81, 1928,
when the pension board informed him
that Certain things have taken place
since your retirement that after in
vestigation the board feels warranted
in declining to grant you pension" +"
Further efforts since made by Mr..
Low to get what was due him under
the rules of the company, proved of
no avail, neither would the company
state what was meant by certain
things" that took place since his re-
tirement. The fact that Mr. Low has
son on strike is the only reason
known. If so, the Rock Island is

CameIs Induced to Smoke.

In Morocco, when the natives are
training wild camels, they make
them docile by inducing them to
smoke tobacco-,a cigar, loosely rolled,
and placed In the end of three cor

hole has been drilled, says the Irish
Tobacco Trade Journal. "As soon as
the camel begins to draw he becomes

the training is that Mr.. Camel Is apt
ever after to insist on smoking at

WISCONSIN IS ONE STATE
WITHOUT A SINGLE CENT OF
BONDED INDEBTEDNESS"
That was the proud boast of Solo
mon Levitan, state treasurer of Wis
consin, in an address to the conven-
ton of the National Association of
State Auditors, Treasurers, and
Comptrollers, held in Asheville, N. c.,
recently.
For a quarter of a century Wiscon-
sin, under the leadership Of Robert M.
La Toilette, has been "the laboratory
of the Progressive movement" There
to a greater extent than anywhere
else in this country Progressive ideas
have been put to the test.
That those ideas have been sane
and workable is proven by the fact
that TODAY every office Of importance
in the state is held by a Progressive
end chat there is Onl y one reactlonaIy
among the states representatives in
Washington.
The reason the voters of Wisconsin
have stood by La Toilette and his sup
porters is because they have found
that when Progressives are in control
of things the government is admins
tered honestly, efficiently, and in the
interests of all the people.
That is the kind of government
which produces a commonwealth
"without a single cent of bonded in
debtedness."
What machine-controlled state can
equal Wisconsin's record labor.

WHY THEY QUIT OLD PARTIES

"The Republican and Democratic
parties have deserted the principles
of Lincoln and Jefferson, making
neither party of any interest to the
people of the Northwest" declared
Senator Shipstead of Minnesota in an
interview at Chicago last week, and
continued:
"Our people in Minnesota stand for
the things Lincoln and Jefferson stood
for, but you could not find one of their
principles in either of the old parties
as at present conudtced."

In the number or pens laying twenty
or more is the evidence of good breed
ing for heavy production-an occasional
pen contains one OF possibly two birds
that are not up to the standard of
the other individuals of the pen and
therefore the pen average is slightly
lower than it would be If all individuals
engaged were up to standard. Such
pens suffer in total output at the end
of the year, but the four (or possibly
three) heavy layers plainly indicate the
ability of the strain to produce eggs
beyond the average.

Notes

Fertility does not mean high hatch
ability, and the purchaser Of hatch
ing eggs cannot and should not ex-
pect all of the fertile eggs to pro-
duce a chick If the parent stock has
not been put in condition to produce
hatchable eggs. Dead chicks can
only come from fertile eggs-if the
egg is not fertile there is no chick:
the ability Of the chick to live until
1t energies from the shell is the re-
quired objective, and to so condition
the parent that a fertile egg will
produce a chick that can emerge from
the shell is the art Of obtaining
hatchable eggs.
The spring urge is on. Every hen that
has it in her to lay is making up for
lost time to the best of her ability. She
should be encouraged; good feed clean
quarters and clean feeding and drink
ing vessels will help a whole lof.
Since the big demand this season
for chicks makes it necessary TO
hatch the greatest number posslple
from all eggs put in the machines
every condition making Tor hlgh
hatchability should be carefully
worked up to.

CUTTING RISK
AND THE RATE

Recognizing that the dog sis the
original and in some respects the
most reliable burglar Alarm" United
States Fidelity & Guaranty Co. has
cut rates five to ten per cent for
residence, burglary, theft and lar
ceny insurance where one is kept.
The problem of insurance is al
ways scientific as well as an
economic one. The basic principle
OF rate making is risk.
Reducing hazards is In the inter
ests of the public whether it be fire,
life, accident or liability and in
minimizing the hazard the holder of
insurance protection is benefited.
Insurance companies are constant
ly on the alert for new avenues on
which to base rate reductions, al
ways in the interest of the public
which is a corresponding beneficiary
with this important industry and the
advent of the dog as an element is
but another evidence of constant
vigilance to reduce hazards.
