Come, GOMEZ urged the Gen.
eral, 'Iet us have it, have they
been here two days or three?'
I "A month, Oh told ye," said the
man with mild imNatience.
Very WELL" said the General
to his aide. Gather all the
farmers in the neighborhood and
make them clear the stones away
at once"
The Irishman replaced his pipe
in his mouth and proceeded to
clear away the obstruction. We
all started to help.
Suddenly little Willy-Wag-
Tail FILTERED from the top of the
stone bile. We examined the spot
she flew from and there sat a
little nest and in 1t were five
small eggs. We all looked at
each other, then we looked at the
farmer. He was working. We
were thinking.

agreed. There was no doubt OF

WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

/" HE mind is the proper Judge
of man.
1t is easy to help him who is
willing to be helped.
He that is afraid of wounds
must not come near battle.
Swearing is all habit, so find
another-the world is full Of less
Objectionable ones.
When fellows fed up with
his work, you may be sure his
works fed up with him.
There are few defects in our
nature so glaring that they can
not be yelled from observation
by politeness and good breeding.
That man Is to be accounted
poor, Of whatever rank he be,
whose expenses exceed his re-
sources. and no man is poor
but he.
Some men are like half-bred
horses which often grow worse
in proportion as you feed and
exercise them for Improvement.
If the best mans faults were
written on his forehead it would
make him pull his hat over his
eyes.
Where we cannot invent we
may at least improve-we may
give somewhat of novelty to that
which was old, condensation to
that which was diffuse.
A man should live as a citizen
Of the world. He may have
preference for a particular quar-
ter or square or even alley in
which he lives, but he should
have a generous feeling for the
welfare Of the whole.
There is some help for all the
defects Of fortune, for If man
cannot attain to the length Of his
wishes, he may have remedy
by cutting them shorter.

SAP AND SALT
BY Bert Moses

In group pictures, the peewees

One accomplishment today IL
better than two accomplishment
tomorrow.
To get reputation for wisdom,
say nothing when you don't know
and little when you do.
A Ratchet made Washington's
reputation: an ak made Lincoln's
a big stick made Roosevelt's.
If you are not good looking,
you are immune from the chance
of getting stuck on yourself.
A horses mouth reveals his
age; a mans reveals his mental
range; woman's reveals her
secrets.
Perhaps these birth-control

and Tenth Street.

T was just at the turning of
the long lane in Irish his
= tory, when the English were
getting out and the Irish were
getting in. I wanted to see what
was going on. A general gave
me a seat in his car as he went
on a three weeks tour Of in
spection.
Armored cars in front, armored
cars in the rear, but in the center
we made fine target for snipers
from the hills. The roads were
cut up with dynamite, huge trees
lay across main thoroughfares,
and in the boys of Longford and
Roscommon we were ambushed
and held up every hour or so.
AT one place stone wall, four
feet high and three feet wide,
was built across the main road.
The first thing done at all such
distractions was to carral the
farmers in the neighborhood. Lit
tie information could ever be OBJ
tanned from them, because, as
one farmer put it, "A Sim Fein
bullet wud stop yer breath list
as quick as a military wan"
In this instance one man was
brought in. He was in his shirt
sleeves and had a little black
pipe in his mouth.
when did you do this?" asked
the general, .-,. ,...
"Oi dunno at all, yer honor"
said the man as he took his pipe
out Of his mouth and looked as
If the General had paid him a
compliment.
How long has it been here?"
was the Generals next question.
"a month-maybe more" said
the man.
The General smiled. We all
smiled. We were all of one opin-
ion, to wit, that the man was
lying. He lived but a few hun
dred yards away. The stones
looked freshly arranged and we
were all sure that he must have
known the approximate date.

III PasO, Tex, Feb. 9.-Ysleta. Tex.

town in 1910 named Isleta or Esleta.

by the recent war and that belief in
American disinterestedness is firmly inn
planted in the minds of practically all
party leaders in' Germany.
France has reverence for Amer
lea. She is sorry the United States
has not helped her actively since the
war, but she is at the moment grateful
that the United States hasn't taken
sides openly in the Ruhr controversy
and that she is being permitted to work
out her policy unhampered by American
intervention. This is not saying
America approves the French policy.
France, knows the United States does
not and that our officials think the fail
ure of the policy will become evident as
the price of the franc gradually drops.
What is more feared here is that the
French are bent on the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of Germany. They disavow such in
tent. but the dawn of Rhineland re-
public and separate Bavarian state is
thought TO be on the horizon Just the
same. What Russia may do is always
n source Of worry. The Russians are
gradually abandoning some. forms of
communism and are approximating more
closely the German idea. A. coalition Of
Russians and Germans might stop the
onward march of France in Europe.

LABOR LICKED
THE SUBSIDY; TELL
THAT TO LASKER

Ship subsidy Is dead. Congress

= Senator Jones, plotting the bill,

The next Congress won't touch
subsidy. Subsidy Is dead.
And If there is anybody that doesn't
know. who licked the subsidy grabbers,
tell 'em it was Labor.
First to jump on the iniquities Of
the scheme, Labor hammered away
until the last curtain went down on
the corpse of what had been the pluto
cratic hope of the season.
Lasker came early to the American
Federation of Labor. "If we make
changes in the bill will Labor fight
for 2" he asked, bluntly.
Labor win fight against it, no
matter what changes are made was
the answer.
The subsidy bill is dead; the deadest
thing in the country. The one big
fighting unit that had the power to
put the subsidy dream down and out
was Labor; and Labor did the job.
Labor spoke for America and won the
day.
Tell THAT to Lasker!

FOUR NON-UNION
PRINTING OFFICES
SIGNED BY UNION

The printers 44-hour strike, which
has been in force in the Twin Cities
for over % months, seems likely to
come to an end in the near future.
On May /, 1921, every commercial
printing shop in the Twin Cities with
but couple of exceptions, declared
for the "open shop" This condition
has prevailed since that time, until
about two weeks ago, when three of
the shops signed union agreements
based on the 44-hour week. On Tues
day of this week another shop was
added to the union shop list, leaving
DIT two operating under the So
called open" shop plan.
SO quietly and peaceably has the
strike been conducted that but few
people knew a strike was in existence,
the union men believing that even
tually their former employers would
see the justice of their claims.
Luther o. German, representing
the International Typographical I'm
ion' working with a committee from
the local union, conducted the nego-
uations that resulted in the settle
ments.
II is probable the two remaining
shops will be signed up soon.

so far as the printers are concerned,
