APPLAUSE FOR SINGERS

important role in Washington theatre refuses to
do it because when she appeared there in concert
Gently the audience failed to applaud here warmly
as she thought she deserved.
There is nothing surprising in this. The public is
accustomed to the whims of singers and is largely
responsible for those whims 1t pays them enormous
salaries and follows their personal actions with eXag
gerated interest and treats them if they
of beings dwelling in celestial sphere of their own,
far above ordinary mortals What wonder that the
weak heads among them take the adulation serious ~
and come to consider themselves divines, with right
to do as they please?
AS result, charming and women VINO seem
really divine upon the stage, in the display of their
special talent often cut but poor figure in the ord
nary relations of life The good, fine and sensible
among them suffer from the silly acts of those who
off the stage associated with vanity bad manners
and poodle dogs.
: Washington audiences, as it happens, are rather
frigid by nature. Statesmen and diplomats who set
the Washington mode, feel obliged to be dignfied in
public. Rather than refuse to entertain chilly audi

chilliness challenge, and go before it with de-
Termination to break down its reserve and compel ap

cried the bunny. "And think III
take him one of our fine, big car
rots. / am sure he has no such ear
rots as we have in our vegetable
cellar. -
"Perhaps not, agreed Miss
Fuzzy Wuzzy. 'Do take Mr.. Lit
tletail a carrot, Uncle Wiggily."
The rabbit gentleman with the
pink, twinkling nose, hopped down
the cellar steps. At the beginning
of winter he and Nurse Jane had
stored away many cabbages, tur-
nips and carrots. The carrots were
yellow, like gold. They had sharp
points like a spear.
Picking out the largest and fin
est carrot he could find, Uncle
Wiggily hoped up the steps with
it. Soon he was dressed to go out
in the cold. He would hop over the
fields and through the woods to
the burrow, or underground house
where Mr.. Littletail lived 18th Sam
mie and Susie.
"You had better put your ear
muffs on today" said Nurse Jane
when Mr.. Longears was ready to
start out with the carrot.
WhvY' asked the bunny.
Because it is freezing cold, and
your ears are so thin and long, al
most like carrots, in fact, that
they will freeze unless they are
warmly wrapped -
So, as Uncle Wiggily didn t want
his ears to freeze, he put his muffs
on them. The muffs were made of
soft, fleecy wool from the backs
of Dottie and Willie Flufftall, the
lambs.
Then taking the big, sharp
pointed carrot under his paw out

Well, Uncle Wiggily was hopping
along, wondering if he would have
an adventure, when, all of {, sudden,
he bumped into Aunt Lettie, the
lady goat. She was just ahead OF
him, and before he could Stop him
self, Uncle Wiggily had jabbed the
point of the carrot into the back
of the goat lady.
"Ouchie! ble&ted Adnt Lettic.

Wiggily asked.

ANENT THE LATEST INCREASE

There is no wish to deny that in the question of
the increase in the billing weight OF lettuce there are
two ell-justifed points of view But in general I'M
peria Valley of the most productive single dis
trcts in the west from the standpoint of freight rev.
enue has without doubt been unfairly burdened in the
matter of rates.
From Imperial Valley alone, territory which
90 years ago in position to ship practically no
thing and which sends out each year tens of
thousands of carloads of lettuce cantaloupes and other
crops, tremendous freight revenue Is annually col
1ected.
Coming after two naonths of lettuce shipping,
wnen the market throughout the has been un-
usually weak and the quality of the production far be-
low the average, the action of the Transcontnental
Weight Bureau in raising the billing rate on lettuce
seems, to say the least, most unfortunate
he action OF many local shippers IN routing their
eastern consgnments through the Tucson gateway IS
really a dgnified protest to the Southern Pacific
rather than vindictive thrust, some seem inclined
to believe. By billing via Tucson, the Southern
Pacific loses the the haul from that point
to their eastern terminus Ell Paso It's competitor
in that territory the Ell Paso and Southwestern pro-
fits accordingly.
Belittling the benefits which the Southern Pacific
railroad renders in its vitality important service 10 this
community, is futile and not to be encouraged On the
other hand there instances, of which the present
increase example, where the attention CT the pub
lie is naturally drawn to the looking out for No. L
policy.
For number of years there has been increase
in the billing weight on shipments of oranges from
California although it is generally accepted fact that
this weight is below the actual weight OF the crates
AS the matter stands, it seems evident that
until the carriers come believe that there is
truth in the statement that the organization profits
most which BEST and their attitude to-
wards the community accordingly, there will be fric-
ton between them and the shippers. And friction
means loss of energy and consequent decrease III

THE SILENT NON-ATTENDING
MEMBER
BY James E. Bish, 50

In every body Of men or women,
there are persons who have nothing
to say; and say but little. and do but
little thinking OF what is said. and
always want to be on the popular side
of every question They possibly take
seriously the old adage that A STILL
TONGUE MAKES "A WISE HEAD
This may possibly be true, if they use
their mental faculties on questions and
debates, but unfortunately they forget
to use their thinking machinery. Many
propositions come up that are detri-
mental to even themselves and they
remain silent. until the proposition has
carried. and the shoe begins to pinch
them, and they recover their faculties
and speech. Then they find that their
opportunity for Directing has passed
Fluent speakers of times put some
proposition over in the presence d
these silent members without oppo-
sition and it is afterwards condemned
Some fail to realize that all questions
have two sides, and the same object
looked at from different angels have
different view or does not look the
same. The fellow that is absent from
the meeting always sees the thing
different from what the fellow who
was present did. He Of course had
the same right to be present, yet he
