d.
A SIX Gottflied Steinmetz about il and
n he viii tell you the Good Samaritan
business Is rotten. Press him further and
&c viii tell you a story 10 prove his ugu-
brous estimate.
Gotttued rs prosperous farmer near
Homestead, Iowa. Some months ago his
wife read sad, sale tale in German
paper about the restitution and starving
condition Of Adam Gebaurcr his wife and
five children, over in Germany. Gott-
fued'S heart was touched and he resolved
10 help the Gebaurers. He told a white
lie about the Gebaurers being relatives OF
his and, donating the necessary money,
brought the 'family over 10 Iowa. His idea
was not only 20 relieve distress, but 10
give Gebaurer a job on the farm and a
chance 10 earn a living for himself and
family. Much % his surprise, the Gebaur-
ers arrived In silks and satins, and il devel-
oped that the head of the house was an
aristocrat who not only did not know how
10 work, but wouldn't try-woudn't even
split the wood necessary 20 keep his fam
lily warm, but depended for such luxury
on raids on Gottfried's pile Of fuel. More
than that, the Missus Gebaurer wouldn't
cook and Mrs, Gottfried was compelled
10 bake bread for the family and listen
10 singing complaints when the loaves
did not please. Finally, after Gottflied
had expended about $1,000 in helping his
charges, he appealed 10 the United States
court for relief, admitting his culpability
in swearing 10 his relationship 10 the Ge-
baurers. The court told him he must con-
tinue 20 care for the family until next
April, but also added that Gebaurer must
get job and learn the English language
by that time, or be deported.
So that is why Gottfried says, Good
Samaritan Gott in Himmel - nix, mein
herr" And anybody can see that, under
the circumstances, the argument is all on
his side

Speakinn Of Cuts

THE political bosses Of the dominant
L party are extremely solicitous TO hang
on to the farmer vote They recognize
the fact that the farmer is being plucked
in high freight rates on his products
which are shipped, and on manufactures
which he consumes.
For obvious reasons, the powers that be
are very likely TO heed the claim of rail-
road arrangements that cut in freight
rates can come only thru a cut in railroad
wages.
One can imagine many effects upon
wages in general that would follow a cut
in the wages of the millions of railroad
employees. Certain 1t is that the habitual
foes Of union wage scales would get busy.

CPEAhlNG Of the growing decrease IN

ems bureau OF the United States depart
ment OF labor suggests a solution thus:
"A carefully-WoTked-o plan of refer
enceS and employment with household
workers unioniEed fixed hours Of work,
vacation periods. and salaries, with pro
vision for advancement, raising household
labor 70 a class with other labor thus
removing the stigma Of 'servitude.'
Removal OF the stigma Of SeTvitude'
is the crux of the proposition, and il will
take even the wisest plan possible a long
time 20 do the removing.

TOADS

A LARGE number OF persons In
~ rural communities believe that
toads cause warts. Nearly every
boy and Girl living in the country
has boon warned by older persons not
10 handle toads,
Toads have nothing 10 do with
causing warts. which are due to eH'
ccsslve tissue growth. Nothing Ger.
tain is known OF tho original cause
They arc probably due TO some infec.
tious agent.
From earliest times the toad has
been given credit for many polsonou?
qualities he does not possess. Magi
clans, witches, prisoners and the like
used toads in their preparations. Thii
was due 70 tho popular dislike for
toads because OF their repellng ap
pearance. As n matter OF fact, they
arc harmless as far as handling them
is concerned However. there Is n
basis Of truth in the common dislike
for touching them, They secrete a
certain kind OF venom which has a
pnralytic effect upon small animals
causing retarded breathing and
heart action. This poison has pro
nounced effect when injected into

oh, for q Decision!

EELLOW husbands, observe the case of
l. Gilcreest VS.. Gilcreest. Everything
settled nice and smooth, with Cupid out
in the cold, cold world with nothing on
save his bow and arrows.
Mrs. Dorothy Gilcreest, after some four
years of married life, sued DR.. Edgar Gil
creest, professor Of surgery in the Uni
versity Of California, for divorce Her
most striking allegation was that in
1922 he took her upon vacation to the
beautiful Truckee region and spent the
whole time reading to her her household
bills. Later, the lady withdrew her suit.
whereupon the professor secures a decree
on the ground Of "a years desertion.
Amicable property settlement, and every
body satisfied. But
Darned if the court has decided whether
or no reading the household bills to wife
constitutes cruelty enough to make good
grounds for divorce! Still seems to be
safest to leave the bills on their hook in
the kitchen.
