But Faith did not pause to COM

task to Bob and followed Cherry, her
feet fleet with fear. If Cherry did
not control herself, she would be
violently i'll, and her baby might be
lost.
"What's the matter, Cherry?'

into her arms. Joy didn't mean to

lie continues its vacillation it has in the past
and it's pretty certain it w--this prediction should
hit rather close to the mark.
Today, Lindbergh receives the homage of ma
tion He deserves it for what he has done. But.
after all, has he contributed anything more than
Peary, Amundsen, or Dewey, or Byrd? They
are obscure figures now.
We boast CT our progress, yet just how much ac-
tual progress have we made? We still hero
worshipers and it is fipe that we are. But does
our worship remain steadfast, or does it veer from
one new figure to another? The heroes of past
years, if they could be interviewed, would doubtless
agree that little less concentrated homage, spread
over longer period Of time means more than a
month Of two of frenzy-and then oblivion.

Editorial Comment
Wheat and the Price of Bread
(St. Paul Daily News)

Senator Nye Of North Dakota made an interesting
statement recently regarding the McNafy -Haugen
bill and the threatened increase in the cost of bread
-Four and four-tenths bushels of wheat are util-
lied in the manufacture of barrel of flour Not
all of this wheat stays in the flour. Only 70 per
cent of it is utilized there, the remaining 30 per
cent being finished in by-products Consequently
the actual bushelage Of wheat in a barrel Of flour
is only 308 An increase of so cents per bushel in
the price of wheat it must therefore be seen, adds
only $l.54 to the cost of barrel Of flour.
Three hundred and thirty four one-pound loaves
Of bread are available from barrel of flour Di-
vide the $154 increased wheat cost by that numbe,
Of loaves, and you will find the added cost of each
loaf of bread to be net necessarily than one
half cent-forty-six hundredths of cent, to be
exact. The average consumption Of bread in the
United States is about 334 loaves of pound each
per year.
IAN increased price of so cents for bushel OF
wheat would not add over $1.53 to the average lv.
ing cost in the United States. Most of us could
stand that

The Same Old Scraps

Every human being likes to set himself up as
prophet If for other reason than to be able to
say, II told you so" when his guess has been found
correct by time Among the super sapents to
come forward with a representation covering the
next quarter century is Glenn Frank able president
. of the University Of Wisconsin. Speaking before
the Junior Association Of Commerce recently DR..
Frank declared that five great bloodless battles will
be fought in America in the next twenty five years.
These the battles:
L. Whether oriental spirtualism or occidental
. materialsm shall be dominant merger of both
occur.
2. Whether ruralism and urbansm can come into
harmony thinking and drinking.
: 3. Whether the ma jority shall be able to rule
without prosecuting the minority
4. Whether government shall be the prcrogativc
of communities or be centralized in Washington.
5. Whether old-fashioned patriotism can be fit
ted into modern, practical internationalism.
Putting these battle into other words.
: there seems to be familiar ring about many Of
them. No. sounds good bit like fundamentalism
CT modernism. The same battle has been going on
in religion for centuries, under different names.
: Always the younger generations have produced new
interpretations of gospels and laws handed down by
their elders.
Christ's teachings and the law Of Moses both
recognized the issue at stake in the second battle
DR.. Frank lists There is nothing new to the argu-
ment of tenn: GRANGE against intemperance.
In the third battle of the times, there is great
likeness to the everlasting struggle for free speech
Paul fought that battle against the Romans. Ba-
cen put of his ideas in code because he knew
that they were too advanced for his time, and he
dared not utter them.
The troublesome problem Of states rights seems
to be included in the fourth battle which DR.. Frank
lists. The struggle is older than our civil war.
Of course for the question of whom the people shall
permit to rule them goes back to the time that the
first tribe under the subjugation Of strong
ser neighbor.
~ Caesar, Constantine, Genghis Kahn, Napoleon
sand all the other great emperors in their way
great nternationalists, for every dream of empire
il effort to fuse two peoples of different races
And So it seems, the five great battles which DR..
Frank predicts for the next quarter century are the
battles of mankind through all the ages There is
nothing new to them except their names Funda-
mentally, they the battles that have been rag
ing since civilization dawned.
II. The prophecy, in 50 far as it is a prophecy, is
Optimistic in that it believes the battle will be
hloodless and that they will be settled within SD
short time. If they are boodess battles, it will
be proof that civilization has advanced trifle at
least That they will be settled within twenty
years is open to doubt.

more nor less than may be found on

Mails Closed to Pistols

The mail order pistol is no more. It exploded
with the signing by President Coolidge Of the bill
forbidding use Of the mails for transportation Of
small arms Dozens of firms which have been coin
ing fortunes from the sale of revolvers by mail.
c. O. D., will have to send their goods by express
in the future or 60 out Of business.
And how about the attitude Of the express cor
porations? They refused to cooperate with lottery
enterprises after these were outawed by the post
office department The express shipment Of liquors
in violation of law is no more There are no VIOLA
tons Of games laws through use of express fac.
ties if the carrying companies help it. There
fore. everything points to the early disappearance
Of the pistol from interstate commerce.
This must presage its eventual Examinations from
sale The opposition to pistol selling pistol carry

Speaking of "HickS"-

Chicago established for itself firm and undying
fame "boob town" when it elected William,
Hale Thompson mayer Now it would seem that
the entire state of Illinois is willing to grasp that
dubious honor if the words Of the peoples repre-
sentatives are to be believed.
Last week the Illinois legislature finished apply
ing the most elaborate, and probably the most
expensive coat Of whtewash recorded in its annals
The recipient was the Hon. Len Small, governor
of Illinois.
Preparing this whitewash took long time. Ii
started back in 1921 and was based on acts commit
ted by the governor in 1917, at which time he was
state treasurer. In this capacity, he deposited
some millions Of dollars CT Illinois money in bank
controlled by one of his friends. The state got
two per cent interest and lent the money to Chi
cagO packing houses at eight per cent interest 1t
was claimed Small did not allow his pockets to 60
unlned in this transaction But when criminal pro-
ceedings were brought against him, he was ac-
quilted.
Civil suit was then started to recover the money
from Small and the estate of his friend master
in chancery was appointed to decide the exact sum
owed. His decision neared last week.
The numerous friends of the governor realized
that the decision might definitely show he had
profited from his transaction They realized too,
that he might be ousted as governor if the dec-
sion unfavorable.
So bill was introduced to definitely give Small
immunity from quo warranto" proceedings. 1t
was speedily passed and speedily signed. Then
the governor sought compromise His plan
worked. On payment of $65O,0OO he was absoved
from all blame in connection with the money in
volved in the suit.
So ends another chapter in Illinois history And
it ends with the voice of only newspaper raised
in protest. That paper was the Chicago Tribune
Others remained silent
Chicago and Illinois wont to regard states to
the west Of them Cow states" peopled by per-
they deem rather inferior. North Dakota
comes under that classification in their eyes.
But, at any rate, if We chicks" here, we
have the satisfaction Of knowing we do not stand
alone Chicago joined at the last election. ILL.,
nos, through its legislature, joined us last week.

between her closed eyclids and started
down her cheek, but she felt too de-
