PARROT ALMOST TOO CLEVER
Possibility That Indiana Bird May
Lose . Little, If Not All, of
It's Popularity.

Mr.. and Mrs. Watt Irwin, of Koko-
mo, have parrot which is interesting.
Reuben easily fits into the Irwin family
circle in the evening, injecting remarks
occasionally and at times seeming to
ponder. He has made life burden TO
some of the neighborhood boys whose
mothers call them from play to OBJ
noxious tasks. So cleverly does he
initiate the voices Of the mothers that
the little chaps are deceived.
The Twins noticed Reuben hanging
by his feet from the top Of the cage
and going through other exercises soon
after they bought him.
Look, Reuben's doing stunts !" Mrs.
Irwin exclaimed
Stunts |" yelled the bird. Ever after
that when he began the performance
he always prefaced it with the word.
The Twins had been out one Sun
day afternoon and~had come back to
the house with visitors, to show the
parrot. When they got ready to leave
to escort the visitors oft of town Reu-
ben, noticing the preparation, ex-
claimed, what going away again T'-

Successful" Men Today Are Weighed

The possession of wealth no longer

OF message to the convention Of In
ternational Rotary in st. Louis from
Paul z. Harris, founder of Rotary and
president emeritus of Rotary Interna-
tional.
The time when rich men are the

Greatness in future will depend not
upon what one has been able to get,

Opportunity to urge upon the busi-

ing service as the basis of all profes-
sions and trades, is distinctly Rotary's.
Rotary's peculiar formation, one rep
reserfattve Of each profession and
each line of trade, makes it pre-emi-

which to effect the purpose. 1t is a
large order.

STARVING
Children's Fund Growing
Contributors Urged to
Act Quick

The fund being collected in Hamil-
ton towards the relief of the millions,
especially children, starving in Ger
many, is growing in a gratifying
manner. Subscriptions are fast COM
ing in and in generous amounts. The
drive for the amount fixed to obtain
in Hamilton is not being conducted
through personal solicitation but by
letters being sent out from the Cham
ber of Commerce rooms through the
committee of which Judge Clarence
Murphy is chairman.
It is believed that the cause for
which the fund is being raised is of
such nature as to appeal to all,
and that it has been given such pub
licity as to be unnecessary to make
personal solicitation and that the peo-
pie of Hamilton will respond in such
manner that the quota will be more
than reached.
1t is hoped to raise $4,000 in Ham
ilton, and while subscriptions are fast
coming in, yet $4,000 is a lot of
money, and if the sum is reached
most everyone must come up with
little bit at least.
The committee has been working
hard to make the drive more than sue
cessful, and they ask all those who
are thinking Of contributing to this
most worthy cause, cause that ap-
peals to all who haven't heart of
stone, to send in their contributions
at once.

OIL PAPER
Demands Raise in Pay For
Postal Workers

BY international Labor News Service.
Fort Worth, Tex.-Strong demand
for an increase in the wages of postal
workers, now inadequately paid, is
voiced by the Independent Oil and
Financial Reporter, one of the nations
leading publications devoted to oil.
The Reporter says in part:
There is a move on foot at Wash
ington that merits the most serious
consideration. A bill has been intro
duced to increase the salaries of pos
tai employees. This measure should
have the strongest support
There is no earthly reason why
we should not pay adequate wages to
these workers. Many postmasters
general have been afflicted with the
erroneous idea that they were out to
make record by showing a depart
ment run to make a profit. Other
governmental departments have tre-
mendous appropriations and exceed
them and get more money with which
TO work. The postoffce department,
however, has had the most grudging
support at all times.
IF an administration ever takes
hold of the postal problems and han
dies them honestly and fearlessly it
will be possible to reduce the postage,
increase wages, shorten hours, sup
ply more humane and comfortable sur
roundigns and conditions for workers
and still show an even ledger if
not an actual profit"

business is now valued at $3.50, ,000,-
600, and within the next six months
will reach s1.25o,Ooo,OOO. If the busi-
ness was in the promotion hands of
Wall street, it would be capitalized
at ten billions, and the gorillas at
Washington would see to it that they
got $1.00 per s1.OO upon the invest
ment. We can forgive Henry Ford
for cluttering up the highways and
byways with his Lizzies and Henrys,
but there is one thing that we cannot
forgive him for, and that is the great
number of rear seat drivers.

Cincinnati, O., March 21, 1924.

Cincinnati, o., March FL, 1924.
To Organized Labor, Greeting:
There are now pending in the house
of representative of the United
States about one hundred bills seek
ing the modification of the Volstead
enforcement law, and Senate bill 1924
pending in the United States senate
These bills have for their purpose the
change of the alcoholic content OF
beverages from the present less than
one-half of one per cent to 2.75 per
cent, which is misunderstanding in
fact.
The American Federation of Labor
in conventions assembled, has in the
interest of true temperance repeated
ly declared itself in uhmistakable
terms in favor of modification of the
Volstead enforcement law, and direct
ed the executive council to do every
thing within it's power to bring about
such modification.
We urgently request that you as
officers of the labor movement prevail
upon your individual members to
WRITE to your two United States
senators urging them to work and
vote for the early passage of Senate
bill 1924, and to WRITE to your
congressman to work and vote for the
early passage of 2.75 per cent bev-
erage bill.
There will be powerful opposition,
of course. The Anti-Saloon League
backed by certain big business, for
selfish reasons will seek to have con-
gressmen and senators oppose modifi-
cation
Immediate action is necessary if we
hope to get results in this session
of congress! Letters written by in
dividuals have much more effect than
form letters or petitions.
Hoping to have your hearty CO.
operation in this drive to rid the coun-

LEADING THEATRES
Rialto, Sunday, for Four Days
Strongheart, the Wonder Dog,
in .The Love Master

The motion picture production
which resulted in the contesting of
the great dog race in Canada is to
be the attraction at the Rialto the
atre for four days, beginning Sunday.
1t is, "The Love Master the First
National picture starring the wonder
dog, Strongheart.
Laurence Trimble, producer and
director of the feature, in preparing
the story had a great part of the plot
hinge upon the outcome of a dog race.
Teams could be hired and race driv-
ers engaged, but Mr.. Trimble felt
that the realism would be gone if
it was merely staged for the sake
of the picture. Accordingly he con-
suited with his partner in the pro,
ducing company, Miss Jane Murfin,
the famous playwright, and as re-
suit cash prizes were offered and the
dog race organized under the rules
accepted in Canada.
The result, as far as the picture
value is concerned, is some great
thrills.
A Cameo comedy and Fox News
will be the added features.
Rialto, Thursday, Lincoln J. Carter

scribes the Fox production, "The
Eleventh Hour" which begins three

day. Charles Jones goes through a
lifetime of adventure within less than
two days counted on the calendar.
He had need Of all his iron muscle
and nerve to do the stunts required
of him in this high-geared melo-
drama. Submarines, airplanes, speed
boats, roaring lions, pirates and high
explosives are elements in the fast
moving plot. Nor did the producer
forget the charming feminine side
of the photoplay. Shirley Mason, a
dainty as ever, is seen as a talented
society girl, whose ability as a dancer

POTATO EXCHANGE NEWS

The Potato Exchange, according tt
Manager Robert Granand, has KEEP
the market price about 20 cents
higher than it would otherwise have
been, but the state and county
boards have not operated in all re-
spects as was at first designed and
the exchange has suffered. Mr.
Granand does not approve Of all OF
the marketing contract with the
| Weyl-Zuckerman company, and the
board have not exercised all the
power accorded to them under the
contract. Mr.. Granand was to have
a meeting with his local board on
thursday AFTERNOON to plead with
them for what he thinks is needed
in marketing, getting back nearer to
the original plan.
He says that during the holiday
cold weather, the exchange had po-
tatoes in warehouses, where they
could be loaded any day, and that
enabled them to make some fine
sales, but since that time the scales
have been at disappointing prices,
about 80 cents now, with per cent
commission to the Weyl-Zuckerman
company for handling. There is
still a prospect of getting little bet
ter price II the growers will be pa
tient and stand by the organization,
which they have already formed and
paid for. The accounts are in good
shape, debts paid, sacks paid for and
there is $4,000 soon to be paid the
farmers of the state exchange. Deal
ers are in most cases seeking to dis
rupt the exchange by getting the
growers to let them market part of
their stored potatoes and wherever
this Is done 1t helps to beat down the
market SO the greatest factor for sue
cess now lies in the growers standing
pat.
