BOOTLEG MILK.

WASHINGTON, D. c. Bootleg
milk, i. e. milk produced over the
Canadian frontier and therefore
cheaper than American farm milk
produced under a multitude of rules
and regulations designed to protect
public health, has become a rather
serious issue to our dairy farmers.
Because Of its low price, the whole
salers are able to pay an excessive
transportation cost for the long haul
age and yet sell it below the price
of American milk. The fact that the
consumer has no guaranty as ITO the
conditions under which it is produced
also makes it a serious matter. For
that reason, Senator LenrOOt's bill to
compel imported milk and cream TO
conform to the standards applied to
American dairies is deserving Of at
tentiOn both from the economical and
health standpoint.

ABOUT DISARMAMENT.

WASHINGTON, D. CT is wen
enough to beat sabres into plow-
shares, but you want to make certain
that your international neighbOrs are
engaged In a similar activity. That
is one reason why President Cool
idge, while vitality interested in a
worlds disarmament programme, is
carefully forestalling any scheme
which would provide that the United
States disarm first.
Now and again the cry is raised by
well-intentioned but poorly informed
people shat we. are spending an in-
egeaging and extEavagantly large

OLD DOBBIN STAYS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The slick
city-fellows with their runabOuts and
rOadsters and gasoline devil-wagons
have been foiled in their attempts to
exclude hOrsedrawn vehicles from
certain of the arterial highways Of
Washington. On the whole sober folk
who love their city and who also love
horses are rejoicing at the judicial
decision which has nullified a traf-
fic rule which barred the fourfooted
friend from his place in the sun.
It must be admitted that relatively
few horses will profit by the extern
sion Of their rights and privileges,
but this few will form a pleasant
variation in the scenery.

AMERTCA'S STRENGTH.

WASHINGTON, D. C. - FedOr
Chaliapin, the famous Russian bari
tone, must be credited with brains
as well as musical sense. Out Of
London he has brcadcasted to his fel-
low cOuntrymen in Russia who are
struggling with the Soviet ideals, that
america and not Russia is the real
workers Republic, for there the
people get what they work for. Give
a wOrkingman what he needs - his
desires are more modest than mine, of
course, and he will give you all he
has to give. Then you will have
neither a revolution nor strikes
Americas real strength says Chal-
iapin, els not in its gold but in the
will to work for which American
wOrkmen have, and the opportunity &c

Initiative Wins

When initiative is absent, we be-
come mechanical beings with no keen
ness for advancement; and il all were
afflicted that way the world would
cease to progress; for we are here
today just because men of initiative
have acted In the past. So 1t is well
to be buoyant and brisk to take an
other step which will bring benefit
both to ourselves and others.
There are thousands of things In
life that are ours if we will but claim
them; but we have failed because
we have never heard their call, or
thought the call was to someone else
and not to us. We need to arouse
ourselves and go In and possess, 9TH
erwise we shall be left behind.-Ex-

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
PLAYING THE GAME
B, F. A. WALK E r

TT WE could see ourselves as others
1 see US, look upon our rude man
nsrs, our derelictions and aspirations
with the same cold. fault-finding eye
employed by our critics in measuring
our frailties, what sorry picture
would confront as each morning as we
gaze in the mirror!
The graceful curves about our
mouth and the various excellences
we intuitively glimpse In our heart
would be surely distorted into
monstrous disfgurements which would
reelection.
Perhaps 1t is better for our peace
Of mind and our temporal happiness
that this cannot be done.
For II we could observe our dis
torted selves clearly, we might lose
hope in playing the game OF life and
become even more displeasing TO
others than we are now, and per-
chance, add to our already formid
able list of delinquencies still an
other more appalling than the original.
In spite of our long schooling in
the doctrines of spiritual life and
morality, there cling to us many
traits of our barbarian ancestors,
which crop out quite Unexpectedly
and make US, in our reflective mo-
ments, thoroughly ashamed of our
selves.
We cannot wash out the spots
Of the leopard or yet control fully
our animal nature, though the good
within US fights increasingly for
mastery.
Between doubt and hope, the faith
full soul plays the game gallantly up
to the final moment of success or
failure
To play the game rightly is to dis
continue cevetousness, piracy of our
neighbor's character and indulge in
unworthy thoughts and deeds an ex
ceedingly difficult course for the saint
or the sinner, but not impossible,
otherwise life and effort in the flesh
would be of no avail.
As likely as not you have often
been tempted to withdraw from the
game and wait more propitious sea
son, falling back in discouragement.
And then In a sudden veer of the
wind, which famed the dying spark
Of faith within you into a glorious
flame, changed your mind, stripped
yourself of doubt and won, giving
faith the credit for your splendid
victory.

Old Monarchicof Idea

The name "Divine Right of Kings
Is given to a doctrine that was pro-
mulgated In England in the Seven
teenth century. 1t asserted that
kings held their authority by divine
appointment and were earthly repre-
sentatives of the Deity. This princi-
pie relieved the sovereign of all re-
sponslbility toward his subjects, and
gave him absolute claim to their obe-
dience. The chief defenders of this
dogma were Salmasius, Hobbies and
Sir Robert Filmer; while Milton, AL
gernon Sydney and Harrington were
It's uncompromising opponents. The
controversy died natural death on
the accession of the House of Han
over. In the Bill Of Rights (16S9) the
right of the people to depose the SOW
ereign, to alter the order of success
sion, and to confer the sovereignty
on whomsoever they may think prop
er is distinctly set forth.-Kansas

History's Long List
of Great "SouthpalOs'

Cheer up, all ye southpaws. A del
yer into obscure matters Of history has
unearthed something that should
please each and every one of you. 1t
is really something to give you reason
to put on airs of superiority. Are you
not pleased to learn that Alexander
the Great used his sword with his left
hand? Charlemagne, the patron OF
scholars, used his pen with his left
hand, If he did any writing at all. Also
the Pharaohs were left-handed and
so were the greater Caesars In the
period between $500 B. G. and 10 B. G.
a left-handed man was considered "the
darling of the gods" and was rushed
into high office Yet, the left-handed
have had to suffer under instructors
who tried to make them change
physical habit. Even some educa-
tionalists claim that left-handed pupils
fall far below the average level Of
school efficiency. In fact, the left
handed have been jeered at probably
everywhere except on the baseball
field.-Pathfinder Magazine.

Name Of Washington
Handled Too Freely

The practice of naming negro slaves
and grog shops for George Washing
ton brought vigorous protest from
the Missouri Intelligencer of Old
Franklin a quarter of century after
the death of the Father of His Coun-
try" This was the first newspaper
In the United States published west
Of ST. Charles, Mo. In the issue of
April 20, 1928, the Intelligencer reg
istered this editorial protest against
the promiscuous use of Washington's
name:
This Is the Christian name of one
eighth of the masculine inhabitants
Of the United States. This name was
dear to every American when 1t con-
veyed the idea of the father Of free
men, but now 1t serves no other pur
pose than that of distinguishing one
part of mankind from the other. 1t
Is universally made very pack
horse. Every stupid blockhead thinks
1t the greatest tribute of respect he
can possibly pay to the memory OF
the hero to call son, negro or a
grog shop by the same name. 1t Is
practice scandalously common for
publicans to paint the likeness Of the
hero on board, hang 1t on post by
way of sign, hold 1t up to the vul-
gar to gaze at as boys gaze at a
monkey and to beguile silly travellers
to become their guests, who judge of
what Is in the house by the sign.
What has the father Of liberty done
that his name should thus be con-
signed to infamy and his likeness to
contempt?"

LYCHEE, SON OF PEEH KAN

tThe following short story was
written by Choo Choo Kar. the great
Chinese tale writer, about the middle
of the Buck and Wing dynasty. or
about $500 years ago)
r YCHEE NUT was notorious
- malefactor who pillaged and
robbed even in his dreams, and great
was the rejoicing when Goo Bong, the
great detective of Chow Miang, final
ly caught him red-handed, after eat
ing a peck of Strawberries stolen from
the Widow Ding Dong Dell.
Under the wise laws of that prov
ince prisoner no matter how
guilty, could not be punished unless
he first promised not to be bad again
and this Lychee Nut refused to do
SO he was hung up by the thumbs for
80 hours and the soies of his feet
continuously tickled. And yet he
would not promise to be good and
they could not legally punish him.
So they dipped him in boiling oil,
and still he would not promise, for
he had a great dread of being punished.
and they withheld food and drink
from him for IS days and 19 nights,
but he promised not And SO they
said to him.
"Lychee Nut, SON of Peeh Kan, II
you do not promise to be good We
will pray to the great Joss Billie Kin
to keep you 5000 years, after your
death without another incarnation,
and then 70 put you upon the earth
again citizen Of a country which
shall be called the States of Merry

UNDER THE COLD
BY DOUGLAS MALLocA

Under the cold the roses,
Under the snow the grass
More than man supposes
Whe carelessly may pass.
Under the winters chill are things
OF green and yellow that are the
springs.
Do, let US 60 on smiling,
We who can smile through tears,
Sorrows Of men beguiling.
Though through the weary years
Under the snow mems hearts may
hide,
Showing US only their wintry side.
For / am sure forever,
Though they may sconf at song,
Even the very clever
Under the ice may long
For tear-wet daisies, for heart-blown
flowers,
For some Of the spring that is al
ways ours.
b, let US 60 on singing,
Even though men disdain,
Into lfe's silence flinging
Some little glad refrain
Under the snow perhaps somewhere
A soul may hear, or heart may care.

ERAL EMPLOYEES

Washington.--A resolution intro
duced by Senator Couzens provides
for an investigation of charges that
members of congress and political or
ganizations extort money from fed
eral employees in return for appoint
ments.
Accusations have been made, said
Senator Couzens, that postmasters
have been appointed in disregard of
civil service requirements. Specific
directions to the committee would be
to ascertain "if federal employees have
been or are being solicited for con-
tributions by members of congress
and by political organizations"
