A FABLE IN SLANG
with Apologies to George Adel

Wherein a Former Monarch Learns
that Government Is Made Tor the
Common People.
Not many years ago there lived a
Merre Monarch. This was in the
Good Old Days when all Gentlemen
that were numbered among the Elite
grew good crops of Mattress Stuffing
on their chins and carried Gold Head
ed Canes. 1t was back when the Dear
Ladies wore Bustles and Rats and
otherwise made themselves utterly
Charming and Appealing. In those
DAYS Balloons were a kind of Femi-
nine Sleeve Style instead OF an Auto
mobile Tire.
The name of this former Potentate
was King Cotton. His Kingdom was
the Sunny South His subjects were
the Inhabitants thereof. A more loyal
and loving group OF Subjects was new
err seen. They brought Servants from
Africa's Golden Sands to tend their
loved Rulers every whim. They sent
TO South Americas rich Guano De
posts and to Europe's Potash Mines
Tor Rare Foods and Tasty Morsels
to tickle the Royal Palate.
And King Cotton seemed to appre-
ciate these, Tokens Of Esteem of his
adoring Couriers He filled their pock
cts with Shining Shekels of Silver
each year. They had enough and to
spare.
But Times will change even in the
best of Families and Kingdoms. His
Subjects began to notice that a One
! Crop system didn't seem to be max
inc their Soils any richer. But this
was only Mere Trihe. The Ship of
State still sailed on majestically even
though her Speed was cut down a
few knots.
The blow that nearly killed Father
came when a young, Narlet called Boil
Weevil came busting in and made
himself a Fly in the Ointment. He
lust worried old King Cotton sick.
And a sick King is in no fit condition
to minister to his Subjects Welfare.
To make matters worse, the Ethio-
plan Servants began to Lay Down on
the lob. They said they could get
better pay in other Kingdoms and
henceforth they Departed. This made
a Labor Shortage and the Costs OF
Maintenance of the Sick Monarch S
Court were Pretty Steep.
To make a long story short, the
Erstwhile Loyal Subjects made up
their minds that Monarchies were
Out Of Date and that they needed a
Democracy if they were going to
Keep Up with the Times. So they
changed King Cotton's title to plain
Mr.. Cotton and made him one OF their
most Useful Citizens along with his
Fellow Citizens, They changed the
name of their Government from the
Kingdom of Cotton to that OF the Re
public of Diversihcation. Among the
most Prominent Families in the New
State are the Legumes. This IS a
Hard-Workihg Bunch They keep
their Noses to the Grindstone. They
include Jap Clover, Soy Bean, Cow
Pea. Hairy Vetch, Velvet Bean, kud-
zu and Others. The Legume Family
is a very close Friend to the Live
Stock Family, which includes a num-
Der OF Women Voters-Mrs. Cow
Mrs. Hen, Old Lady Pig and several
Others. These two Families are the
best Citizens OF the Land.
And Old Citizen Cotton is leading
Useful and Busy Life. He takes his
Chance along with the Others and
seems to think the New Order a Reg
u1ar Knockout. F. R. EDWARDS

MILLION DOLLAR SWINDLE REVEALED

 He was asked if he knew a Mir. Baker from Springfield and he said he did. Judge Groehl called for Mir. Baker and received no answer. He implied that he must have been put out of court and Judge Jen- nlngs febuked him for irhputations that he was not being treated fairly. Judge Groehl resumed his questions by saying that Shean had taken $l0,000 from Baker. Shean said it was loan. He said Walter F. Car rigan introduced him to Baker. He knew Carrigan was a fugitive from justice. and that he was a fugitive for little over year. He said he paid back Baker all except sSSS and his lawyers had the checks.

 A subpoena has been issued by the defense for Emil J, Danberg, clerk of tho New Britain police court. and he came to Hartford this afternoon. tAlcorn has also called upon him to produce certified copy of the po- lice court record of Edward L. John son.
 Chief Hart of the New Britain po- lice force went to the stand soon af- ter 8 o'clock to tell of the investiga- ton of the burglary and events that followed. He will also be asked to identify cracksmen's tools found in Sheans office in Springfield.
 The three witnesses examined late yesterday afternoon proved to be important from the states stand point.

He saw a man come out of the alleyway carry ing a small satchel, go up Main street, turn the corner and turn down Church street. He was there when the car load of policemen ar rived and he saw them go down the aleyway while two of them went to Church street.
 While standing there, he states, he heard shot fired and he walked from the alleyway to the front door. He saw man on the inside put his hand on the door and come out. As he looked at him, the man was carrying a pistol in his right hand and he spoke to La Chance, saying: Sand back, stand back" He stood back. but got a good look at the man.

A NEW YEARS RESOLUTION

A good way to start the New Year
is TO think about the troubles of the
other fellow. And the other fellow
may be your merchant your tailor
your doctor or your editor. Here is
a little fable that will help you TO
understand what the editor is up ag-
ainst occasionally.
There was once a farmer who rails
ed 1000 bushels of potatoes. He
sold the entire crop at retail on cred
it-one bushel each to 1000 custom
ers. He thought he had made a good
deal as he was to get $4,000 out of
the years work
his sales neglected to pay. They
just put it off from day to day, and
meanwhile the creditors of our friend
the farmer, kept crowding him to
meet his obligations. He was placed
in an comfortable predicament.
None of the accounts was large en-
ough to warrant him in making trou-
BILE. But in the aggregate they re-
presented the fruits of years work.
"And what happened after that?"
you ask? Well we don't know for
we didn't stay to hear the end of the
story. But remember this. The
editor is in something of the same fix
that this unknown farmer got into.
No single subscription account to a
great deal, but on the whole they re-
present the difference between profit
and loss on the years business.
Just think how you would like to
get into such a mess, and then come
into the Office when you get your sub
scription statement and straighten up
the account. 1t isn't much to you.
But it is lot to the editor.
