COMBINE is LEGAL

Secretary of Agriculture Jar
dine has ruled that the merging
of the Morris packing company
with Armour is not a violation
of the packers and stockyards'
act.
The merger resulted in several
hundred Morris employees losing
their pensions. They worked
long hours and for low wages
and refused to affiliate with the
trade union movement because
they believed their pensions
would protect them in old age.
They took their case to the
courts, but a Chicago judge held
they have no recourse.

of automotive vehicles of all
kinds and descriptions, many of
which had been adopted long

BEAUTY'S WORLD

Now Beauty had summoned the
Spring and the Summer, the Autumn
and the Winter to come to her and
bring only their great beauties and
none of their drawbacks
1t was her idea that they should
all be f1Ourishing at once-all of them
near at hand and close to each other,
so that the people Of the world could
have all the lovely qualities of each
season all present at the same time
So Beauty had talked to Spring and
Summer, Autumn and Winter and had
told them to bring their best and love
lest features
Then Beauty stood in the midst of
them all and babe them build her a
throne.
From her throne she could see all
the four seasons and their beauties.
She bade them make her throne so
she could turn about on it, so she
could see all of which she was queen.
Here would be world of wonder
.ment, world in which she alone was
supreme.
Here would be no discomfOrts, only
beautiful visions and beautiful lives.
Ali How perfect it was now. At
the right of her the kingdom of spring
began to extend back and back until
1t all became spring through that part
of the kingdom.
All was new and budding and fairy
like.
Then she turned to the left and
winters was claiming its domain
smooth, soft, white, white snow which
sparkled in the sunshine.
And there was summer and there
was autumn.
All were at their best.
Only the best were here. Beauty at
its best. Beauty, the Queen. reigning
over ALL
The people, when they came, would
love this. They would find it so mar
velous that they would say:

one world?
And others would answer and say !:
Beauty thought of all this. All yes.
who else but Beauty could think of all
this?"
Thus was Beauty's world. Her world
when she was very, very young. so
young that she only knew one idea.
1t went on, as worlds will. for a
time. Things didn't happen quite
right.
The Spring complained because the
cold from next-door Winter spoiled her
buds.
She wanted showers and muddy
earth in order to help the new things
get started.
But Beauty would hear of none of
this.
Spring had never minded Winter
coming before her-she had taken his
place always a little slowly, a little
uncertainty at first, but always more
and more certainly until she had really
taken hold and it was really spring
time.
With Winter always next door it was
entirely another thing.
Then Winter didn't like it because
Winter wanted more snow to fall to
keep it fresh and white and sparkling.
Winter wanted storms.
Nor did the Autumn like it to have
to be so gloriously colorful when
Beauty did not want frosts and cold
air.
Nor did Summer like it not being
allowed to get too warm and too sunny
and Summer wanted to bring hot, dry
dust, too.
They complained, all of them, and
Beauty sat upon her throne, worried
and perplexed and miserable.
Her little young face looked dis
turbed. A frown came upon her
smooth, smooth brow
She was so young She had thought
she was doing so much.
And now not single season was sat

"Theod-," whereupon one of those

there as early as 1907.
