ADVENTUREOF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

After the Nosey had left them,
Mister Sky Bow asked Nancy and
Nick if they would like 10 see where
the Earses lived.
Are they some more Of the odd
people who live ,in Rainbow Land? ."
asked Nancy.
"Yes!" nodded the little fairy man.
"And happier crowd you never
saw, although they are not very
handsome"
SO they went along past several
queer housese and other queer things
and by n by they heard a noise.
'1snIt that AWFUL remarked
Nancy. "What is it?''
"lt's the Earsies singing them
selves to Sleep" said Mister Sky
Bow. we'll have to hurry"
So they hurried rs fast as they
could 30.
And on turning corner they came
to the place the Earsies were. But
all they saw was hundred ham,
mocks swinging this way and that.
"Hello!" called Mister Sky Bow
loudly.
Instantly all the Earsies stopped
swinging and singing and sat up. But
they looked SO funny the Twins could
hardly keep from laughing.
For the ears, of these queer little
folk were so large they stuck out on
each side of their headss like sails.
"Come on fellows, we've got COM
pany." called one, End with that
every little Earsy jumped out of his
hammock bed and came up to shake
hands.
"Where are your ears ~ asked one
when everybody'd said hsw d. do to
the visitors. II. BE
"Here under our bobbed hair" said
Nancy, showing him.
"Too bad!" said the Earsy. "There
are. SO many things you cant hear
with such little ones"
But it's better in a thunder
Storm said Nick laughing.
"And when Jack Frost 10 around"
added Nancy. !.
ooh. we don't mind them" said
the little Earsies, running back to
their hammocks. "Goodby."

ALIENS AND STEEL INGOTS

Attacks that are being made upon
the nations immigration laws are
carefully planned and adroitly stage
managed.
That a determined effort is to be
made to open the country to a flood
of unskilled aliens is the only poss-
ible inference from the preliminary
propaganda with which the press is
now being drenched.
In this campaign there is not a
single thought of the immigrant S
well-being. He is not invited to our
shores in the hope and expectation
that his coming will enrich both him
and US.
Rather, we are to have a seni-helot
class to whom the gates shall be open
ed when the steeel mills need them
and in whose faces the gates shall be
slammed when the mills have no use
for them.
Aliens are to be admitted when or
ders for rods and billets pile in and
10 be excluded as a menace when or
ders fall off.
Back of the agitation, however,
there is something more significant
and sinister.
American employers are after
fresh levies of aliens to replace
American workers and beat down the
American standards of living.
The demand for the removal of re-
strictions upon immigration and the
25 cents an hour established by the
United States Railroad Labor Board
have the most intimate relationship.
The American worker will not
work for wages that perpetually de-
grade and impoverish him. The i'm
migrant for a time may accept them.
Claims that there is a dearth Of
unskilled labor in this country are not
warranted by the facts.
There may be a growing scarcity
of men who are satisfied with what
the British call a fodder wage" but
there are plenty who are ready and
willing to work if they are adequate
ly pensated.-Labor.

GET THE CARGOES FIRST

Commerce Reports" weekly
survey issued by the department of
commerce, declares that when car
goes are secured a merchant marine
follows.
The position of the department of
commerce is a direct challenge to
subsidy advocates and to American
businesses men, who are reminded
that England and German business
men built up a merchant marine. by
first securing markets rather than
depending on subsidies.
"Great Britain and Germany built
up their vast foreign commerce
through intensive and aggressive ac-
tivity on the part of their own trad
ers, who early established themselves
in every part of the world" says
Commerce Reports
"They erected huge warehouses and
'godowns' to facilitate their trade, en-
gaging in both importing and export
ing business. Having gained the
greater part of the worlds commerce,
it was an easy matter to build up the
large merchant fleets that each ma
ton attained at the height of its pros
perity.
Success for our American mer-
chant marine will just as truly follow
a similar procedure on the part OF
our own exporters and importers"

European Conditions
Aided by Cooperation

WASHINGTON.-How European
civilization, struck down by war, is
being salvaged in part by private CO.
operative enterprises is an impressive
story related by Chris L. Christensen.
economist for the department of ag-
riculture, who has returned from a
tour of the PROSTATE continent.
In the light of what kings and cab
inets have done to ruin Europe, and
of fresh wars planned by prime min
listers to complete the devastation,
Christensen's report offers some en-
couragement to students Of better
world. Official acknowledgment that
the United States may find salvation
from many of its ills is found in the
departmental statement, which says:
Evidence that the tremendous i'm
petus given to cooperative agricul-
tural marketing in the United States
in recent months is part of world
wide cooperative movement is
brought back from Europe by Mr..
Christensen"
Christensen reports:
"Some of the greatest strides in
dairying in northern Europe have
been made in Finland through the
production of standardized dairy pro
ducts. Payment on a quality basis
for whole milk delivered has been
introduced, and is a common prac-
tice in the cooperative dairies.
Eighty percent Of the Finnish butter
exported is handled by one large
central cooperative export society.
Among the best developed coop
erative organizations in German ag-
riculture is the Rural Cooperative
Village bank. With 60 years of eX-
perience, this system is still regarded
as the main pillar that supports the
German agricultural cooperative sys-
tenn. Despite the war the Rural Co.
operative Village banks have contin-
ually increased in numbers, steadily
piling up large reserve funds"
Formal reports on European CO.
operatives, made by Christensen and
shortly to be issued by the department
of agriculture, will cover their work
in Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Ger
many, Czechoslovakia and England.

TOl IlG ISuCI aIOu ANODJ
Sometimes | crack great big smile
that overalls is still in style. Most
girls now carry mental loads a-keep-
ing up with Paris modes. The skirts
got short and shorter still, until their
legs sure got a chill, while men got
abcess on the eye, a-watching OF 'em
going by.
Girls waists they travel up and
back until the poor men find they lack
the knowing where to put their arm
when they 90 out to court and charm.
Sometimes they's sleeves; sometimes
they amt, and low-down backs lust
make one faint. And sometimes all
they wear of rags would go inside
their shopping bags.
Their skin amt what it wuz OF
wore. 1t comes now from a swell
drug store. Face powder that is made
of rice is sprnkled on to make 'em
nice. Their color comes from rouge
pot, sometimes on straight and some
times not, while eybrows and their
glowing lips stick out like rigging on
the ships. These days they amt a
girl you hit that ant a-lugging
beauty kit. Some girls may be most
awful fools, but thew is handy with
the tools, and if they make up long
enough, they look almost like the real
stuff.
And mems modes too amt far be-
hind. To be we'll dressed is sure some
grind. Why, last years heavy over

mote, and last years hat will sure re-

that we shall be a mile behing the

UNFAIR COMPETITION

Interurban lines, it is said, will ap-
peal to the legislature for relief from
unfair competition. Trucks and
passenger buses are driving them out
of business. The reason advanced is
that whereas electric roads are COM
PEELED to operate on right Of way
which they had to buy, their compet-
itors operate over the peoples high
ways and pay little or nothing for it,
although they are more destructive of
the roads than all other vehicles:
1t is proposed that every truck and
bus be charged a maintenance fee
proportionate to their use of the high
ways and computed on mileage
basis. This would not only meet the
complaint of the interurbans but
would relieve property owners of an
unjust burden. The law would apply
also to streets in cities.
