ISN'T 1T FUNNY?

Isn't it funny how much cussed-
ness can mix in human beings
where there is so much worthwhile
ness and lovableness?
Your best friend may make a
crack or pull a stunt that disgusts
you. And yet at other times you
admire him extremely.
You love your wife harder than a
mule can kick downhill backwards,
and yet there are times when you
get so peeved with her that you want
to chew her ears off. And your
wife may want to stab you in the
back with a butcher knife for the
way you track up the floor and come
to meals late. Yet she loves you so
hard she would go to jail for you.
Your children are the apples of
your eye. And yet they sneak in
and tell you lies that make you want
to wiring their necks. They are so
bright at times that you make your
self bore to your friends by bragg
ging about them. Yet at other
times they are SO stupid you wish
you had drowned them at birth.
repeat, isn't it funny how so
much cussedness can mix in the
same people with all their lovable-
ness.

VETERAN WALKS BACK TO
HEALTH AND WINS
$4,000

While hundreds of World War
veterans are suffering all over the
country from wounds and war expos
ures, there is one of them who re-
fused to give up. He is Richard E..
Baxter, of Washington State.
In December 1921 he was inform
ed by an Army Surgeon that as a
result of his war experience he was
doomed to paralysis and death.
Baxter didn't believe it, and decided
that fresh air and exercise would
do him good. An influential man,
who believed that walking is the
best health builder in the world,
became interested in Baxter, and
offered him a prize of $4,000 if he
would walk $4,000 miles. The con-
ditions were that start with cent
and finish in seven years.
Baxter accepted the offer, and he
and his wife Immediately set out
with small packs on their backs.
They first walked to Florida, cross
ed to Cuba by boat, walked all over
that country and returned to the
States. They then went to Mexico,
and from there up the west coast
into Canada. After walking thru
that vast country they again cross
ed the United States several times
and ended in New York recently.
Both he and his wife are in the
pink of condition. He weighs 81
pounds more than when he started,
and his wife weighs % pounds more
than she did at the start. And yet
during their hiking they were near
death several times. Once in the
Mojave Desert they fell exhausted
for want of water. A motorist hap
pened to pick them up and saved
their lives. In the middle west they
were overtaken by flood and had
to take refuge in trees while they
saw people and houses being washed
away. In New Mexico they passed
thru a six-day sand storm, and to
add to their trouble were attacked
by wolves. Baxter has 1893 post
office cancellation stamps with sig
natures to prove that he has been
in the places named.

A REAL PEACE PLAN.

While Bok's peace plan is prov.
ing such laughable flivver, the
Christian Science Monitor is advo.
eating a plan that would be more
effective in stopping wars than all
the leagues ever thought of. Their
contention is that in order to make
war repellent to all classes, as well
as to those who have to do the
fighting, it is necessary to make war
as obnoxious to industry as it is to
soldiers.
To this end they are urging an
amendment to the Constitution as
follows:
an the event of declaration
of war, the property, equally
with the persons, lives and lib
erty of all citizens, shall be
subject to CONSUMPTION for the
defense Of the nation, and it
shall be the duty of the Presi-
dent to propose, and Of Congress
to enact, the legislation neces-
sary to give effect to this
amendment"
If huge war profits could be cut
off, manufacturers would hardly be
in favor Of war; if everyone had to
work for a soldiers wage, none of
them would want to be conscripted;
munitions manufacturers would not
have their agents working in foreign
countries to foment war, and legis-
lators would find themselves out
lawed if they declared war.
At any rate this plan is more
logical than Bok's peace flivver.

TAX EXEMPTS DESTROYING
INCOME TAX

J. Ogden Mills, banker, at the
National Tax Conference, declared
that tax-exempt securities were the
greatest evil in the whole field OF
taxation.
He declared that progressive
income tax and tax-exempt securities
could not exist side by side, and
the latter would destroy the former
as there any need to point out
how excessively high surtax rates
sin against the fundamentals of a
sound tax system, in that they are
becoming increasingly unproduct-
i've, that they encourage evasion
and are too great a burden on in
dustry, initiative and thrift?
"Can there be anything more
fantastic than the government of
the United States solemnly declar-
ing its purpose to take So p. C. of
a mans income and then providing
the means whereby he will pay mo-
tax at all?
what are you doing through
these tax-exempt securities, backed
by a high-a very high-progressive
income tax rate? You are not only
drying up this investment fund, but
you are drying up the fund of
of energy, of business
ability.
as there anything more likely,
if history means anything, to en-
gender class hatred and prejudice,
and is there anything more likely
to bring into general contempt
which not only permits
such situation but one which ac-
tually created it?"-The Manufac-

WI E have been an admirer for
w many years of "Alice in

we get considerable joy out of these.
Every time we read of the "Walrus

"Ten Best Books"
Many moons ago we read an essay

light on Arctic explorations and the
Building Trades. We clipped the
article, put it in our archives, and
re-read it occasionally. We know
now, we must have kept it for your
delectation. Therefore:
We are indebted to Lewis Carroll
and Robert Housum for new clas-
siication of the human race and a
new searchlight on the problem of
marriage itself.
"All people, the playwright sug-
gests, are either Walruses or Car
