SMALL TALK

How cheap and unrefined is this
talk of the age. One may be a
professional at it and will not
really know how it sounds until he
hears someone else carry on a con-
versation of this kind.

And in this way the converse
ton proceeds. maybe it will be on
several topics but always the same
figures of speech are used until
they become SO monotonous you
wish to get away.
The poor words of, bologna, APP

they are worn to a FRAGILE. But
the individual who uses them so
continuously is also to be pitied
for who can help but feel sorry

thing elce to say but this cheap
talk!
But still, slang is a perfectly
good thing if it is used discretely,
for threre are times when it GER
tainly expresses ones feelings.
For example, the small boy has

little boys are apt to get. And like
all boys this one is very hungry.

The old man, known 10 hundreds

the Emancipation Proclamation by
President Lincoln freed Uncle

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Eleven mil
lion five hundred bushels Of Amer
ican grain have been shipped during
the last two months to European
ports-England, France, Germany,
and Belgium-in United States ship
ping board vessels. This represents
the early grain crop from southern
Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, and
the shipping board has schedule Of
vessel sailings to continue shippings
for an indefinite period. Back of
this happening stands a request Of
President Coolidge. The farmers, it
appears, some months ago in advance
Of the harvest, represented to the
president that they were afraid Of a
dearth Of shipping vessels which
would not only pile up elevator costs
on them, but might prevent sales
abroad. AS a result the president
gave orders to the shipping board
that they were at once to prepare
vessels and make them available, and
his request was acted on 80 promptly
that shipments were started in July.
This represents a nine million dollar
grain movement, and before it IS
completed, it is expected that the
western farmers will have received
some sixteen millions Of dollars for
their crops.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-With both
Blaine and LaFollette sitting in the
senate from Wisconsin, the develop
ments will be well worth watching.
On the face of the returns, Blaine
has won by the grace of LaFOllette.
But already, the whisper is current
that Blaine and his friends figure he
won for and by himself, and that he
intends to be a senator in his own
right and not merely an assistant to
LaFollette. 1t will be a curious turn
of fate if in aiding the election of
Blaine, LaFollette had picked a
switch to beat himself.
Those who have watched Blaine's
administration in Wisconsin have
been aware for some time that in
many instances he functioned on his
own and ignored LaFollette except
where it suited his purpose. The truth
| is that young Bob is not Old Bob.
Newspapermen who from outside
have visited the state say that while
young Senator I.aF'ollette has an at
tractive and pleasing personality, the
dramatic interest which always at
tended the appearances Of his father
was missing, and showed in the
apathy Of the audiences. One of the
saving clauses in old Bob LaFollette
was his attitude which was that of
person anxious to retire from public
life but being pressed forward and
compelled to make new sacrifices Of
his life and energy for the public
veal. The young senator on the
other hand has adopted the common
pose Of those who have and want 20

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The senate
would hardly have seemed a natural
place without George Moses, and the
replacement over his denomination is
very genuine. George has a sharp
tongue, but an able one, and now and
again when in the great and honor
able senate the disposition seems to
be to discuss topics in a purely aca-
demic way, he adds a little life and
pleasure to the debates not only on
the floor but in the cloakroom, which
cheers even the soberest thinkers.
The New Hampshire contest ended
as all Republican contests should end,
with Senator Mass the defeated can
didate, sending a fine and sincere
message of congratulation and sup
port to George.

Simmons, Democrat, who recently is

reaffirms the position he has main
tanned from the beginning that next

first charge on a good businessman
is to clear up his debts. There is no
