Misunderstanding
BY GRACE E. HALL

" oU'RE far away tonight, my
dearie, dearie,
The sunshine has been mocking me
all day;
I've strained my eyes It'll they are
weary, cary,
Longing to see you passing by this
way;
Within my heart pain is growing,
growing,
The truth insists that / shall heed
and know
That further still you're ever going
going,
And oh, love you dearie, love you
sol
The world is very cold, my dearie,
dearie,
Outside the magic circle Of your
arms;
My heart Is pleading to be CHEEKY,
CHEEKY,
Safe locked against your breast from
all alarms;
The tears persist tonight In falling, fall

The breezes whimper Of an unknown
woe,
And cross the silence I am calling

SENATOR SHIPSTEAD
Tells How People Are Fool
ed to Vote For
Privilege

BY international Labor News Service.
Washington, d. politicians use
the same bait, year after year, under
different names, to fool the workers
and farmers into voting for privilege,
Senator Shipstead, of Minnesota, told
the senate in speaking on farmer re-
lief. After warning that the farmers
of the Northwest demand real help,
not mere promises, Senator Shipstead
said:
eve in the Northwest have had the
experience in past years of having
slogans and camoufage legislation
enacted for us in order to lead the
American people to the polls that we
might vote in the way special privi-
lege wanted US to vote. When |
think how, election after election,
they have done that | am always re-
minded of a neighbor on our farm
when | was little boy. He drove
a yoke of oxen, and those oxen were
not very we'll trained. They never
would start when we wanted them to
start, and they never would stop
when he wanted them to stop. So,
in order to enable him to make them
go he carried an ear of corn. When
ever he wanted them to start he
would take the ear or corn out and

NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN
Given "Sand" and Brains, There ls Al.
ways Opportunity for Man to
Achieve Success.

First clerk In music store and
then a music teacher for some fifteen
years, Theodore Presser told me re-
Gently he felt as IL he were "hemmed
In by four walls"
Did he let change of occupation
bluff him out Of real career? Not
much.
He started a music journal and he
has lived to see 1t enjoy far larger
circulation than any similar publica-
tion In the world.
Until mid-life q. Fl. Hartman knew
no more about the details of railroad
operation than he knew about the in
tide Of hattleship. He was stock
broker.
I'm at the wrong end Of this game. :"
said he, and In short order, but in de-
f1ance of age limit, or dead-line rules
Hartman stepped quickly into first
place among American railway chief
tains.

monument dedicated to the idea that
no man Is ever too old to learn a new
game, provided he has sand and brains.

SUPPLY OF TIMBER ASSURED
With Proper Management cocur
D'AIene National Forest Can Fur
nlsh Mlillons OF Feet Yearly.

Fifty million feet of sawlogs can be
removed annually for all time from
the Occur d'Alene national forest,
Idaho, according to the prescriptions
of the management plan approved by
the forest service, United States De
partment Of Agriculture.
The net area Of forest Is about &c.,
600 acres, of which about $4,000 acres
is considered as productive forest land
The great share of the timber, as
usual, Is In two age classes, the ma
ture and overmature class and the
very young, 0 to 20-year, class.
The main problem Of management Is
that of making the mature timber last
for sufficient period to enable the
youngest and intermediate classes to
reach maturity. This average period
is estimated at 80 years, during which
time a total Of 4,OOO,OOO,OOO feet will
be removed, or an average of 5O,OOO,-
600 feet per year

FEEBLE MINDED CAR
ED FOR

Observation-Disclosures in schools
and classes for feeble-minded and sub
normal children in this country shows
an extraordinary increase in the past
22N years, according to the United
States bureau of education. This in
crease does not show that greater
percentage Of children are becoming
mentally defective from year to year,
but it indicates growing interest on
the part of cities, and private organ
izations in making provision for this
unfortunate class.

dangle it in front of their faces. Then
that yoke of oxen would start and
move. Then he would go in the di-
rection he wanted them to go, dang
ling that ear of corn before them.
When he came to the place where he
wanted them to stop he would put
that ear of corn in his pocket, and
that yoke of oxen never got the corn.
81 am always reminded of that ear
of corn and that farmer when I see
how in political campaigns politicians
representing special privilege go out
and try to lead the American people
to the polls. They may try to do that
with this bill, if it is passed, but | am
saying that it cannot be done. 1t
cannot be used for that purpose, be-
cause we have been led too often in
that way. Always before campaign
some kind of legislation is passed in
order to satisfy and mollify the peo-
pie, and then before election politi-
clans will go out with their ear of
corn in their pockets, and about two
or three weeks before election they
hold that ear of corn out before the
peoples faces. Sometimes they call
it one thing, sometimes they call it
another; but it makes no difference
what they call it, because it is always
the same old ear of corn.
at may be true that this is intend
ed to be used as an ear of corn in
the coming campaign, but l want to
assure senators that it is going to
take more than an ear of corn to get
the neonle to vote with you this time.

THE RIGHT THING
at The
RIGHT TTMB
By ByMARYMARSHALL DUFrEE
WATCH YOUR WORDS

Words are but the shadows of ae-
ttons.--Plutarch
II ERE Is bit Of worldly wisdom
= = for the young man or woman who
Is striving to appear to best advan-
tage In circle slightly higher up ON
the social scale than the one to which
he or she is accustomed. Nothing per-
haps counts SO much for or against
you as the words you use. Your dress
may be irreproachable and your table
manners perfect but If you don't use
discrimination In the words you use
you may be dropped like the proverbial
hot cake. SO go slowly. IF you ara
in doubt as to the usage Of any word
or expression don't use 1t at all. Run
the risk Of being thought little for.
NAL In your speech rather than use
the slang that will brand you as Ht-
tie second rate by the persons with
whom you wish to succeed.
Here are some Of those little second
rate words and expressions: "Swell"
and tony" which may have been well
enough once but are now decidedly
out Of good usage. To say that you
went to swell dance and met some
tony people would suggest that you
were unaccustomed to either.
CLASSY" though not so out Of date,
has second-rate sound, especially
when used by more mature persons.
We can excuse boy Of eighteen for
saying that he had "classy time" at
his high school dance but when a wo-
man Of forty describes a man acquaint-
ance as ''a classy gentleman" we are
less lenient.
My friend" my gentleman friend"
my young man." are used not infre-
quently by girls to indicate their
fiances or admirers. They are all
taboo in good usage. Fiance is the
only way to express the man you are
engaged to in ordinary conversation
and unless you are engaged you should
refer to your admirer merely as q
man friend" or IAN acquaintance"
Unless you are quite sure Of your
audience don't use slang at all. TO
be sure, slang passes current among
men and women Of the most desirable
social circles, but the slang that you
use may be discordant to the ears of
your new acquaintances and they may
misjudge you because Of it.
In ordinary conversation be careful
Of using too frequently such express
sions as "said /" or she said" T
says" or che says" as applied to the
past time Is positively ungrammatical
but even the correct grammatical form,
If repeated often, mars the best-told
tale or the finest repartee.
Be careful about using the adjective
form lawful" dreadful" or terrible"
Now to say that friend Is wearing
an lawfully pretty hat" or that you
are terribly sorry" that she has such
a "dreadfully bad cold" may indicate
a lax use Of words. but we all do use
these intensifying words more or less
and we say things are terrible, awful
and dreadful that are not 80 at all.

Scientist. Discover New Animal.

seen without the aid of microscope.
This tiny form Is about one two
hundreths of an inch long and less

GOOD THINGS FOR OCCASIONS

THE olive fs such an appetizer and
adds SO much zest and flavor to
many dishes that 1t should always be
found on the shelf.
For garnishing dishes one may cut
into a queen olive with sharp knife
and keeping close to the stone, pare
In spiral fashion. This will leave
the olive still shapely without the
stone
For canapes olives are indispens-
able. Cut eight rounds of bread and
spread with softened butter. The
rounds should be about two inches IN
diameter. Toast them lightly before
spreading with butter. Prepare
paste, using six shrimps chopped fine
and then mashed with three table
spoonfuls Of mayonnaise. Have ready
one-fourth Of a cupful of stuffed olives,
chopped with eight capers. Over the
toasted rounds spread the shrimp
paste, then the chopped olive mix
ture. Garnish with slice of stuffed
olive and serve at once.
