w YHEN King George V, in crown
n | and robes, rose from the
wv throne in the House of
Y Lords on the morning of No
vember last and declared
Parliament open, having said Hall,
he might have added Also Farewell"
as he finished his speech from the
throne drafted by Stanley Baldwin
and company and walked out with
the Queen.
For this is the fifth and last session
of this very remarkable Parliament,
! and the party leaders are buster grid
ing their loins for the general election
of the coming Summer than worrying
about the flag end of political business
in a Parliament that has lasted the
constitutional limit of five years, and
is due to be changed out of all recognl-
ton next Summer.
The fight that is coming is in many
WAYS one of the most extraordinary
in England's democratic history. 1t is
also going to be one of the bitterest
and most desperate scraps on record.
Further. it is highly probable that after
the battle things will begin to happen
which will focus world attention on
Englands domestic affairs; A tariff wall
after the American pattern, for in
stance, or an attempt to put Socialism
into practice in highly industrialized
modern state.
To orient ones self on the political sit
uation it is necessary to go back a few
years and observe how England has
been governed since the war.
Lloyd George Dominates.
For four years after the armistice
LLOYD George with his coalition min
istry dominated the scene. You look
back and see him, always IN the lime
light and on the front page, swaying
perilously but always cheerfully,. on his
tightrope, clutcning his ottice with one
hand, fighting off claimants with the
other. manipulating the press with his
free foot and trying by magic oratory
to dominate Europe and his own coun-
try all at once. Then he nearly in
wolves the island people in an unwanted
war with Turkey, and the amazing spell
breaks.
The Tories leap at him and pull him
down. They are tired of being bullied
by the Lloyd George oligarchy of SUI
permen. They also know that Lloyd
George is scheming to pull down the
Tory house in order to build himself
comfortable Center home out of the
debris, reinforced by the Right-wingers
detached from a riven Liberal party
It was Stanley Baldwin who, in a
memorable speech in the Carlton Club,
the Tory stronghold, turned the scales
against the Welsh wizard and saved
his party. and threw Lloyd George and
his henchmen, Birkenhead and Aus
ten Chamberlain, into the wilderness
(from which subsequently Baldwin al
lowed the two latter to return, peni-

A Few Kind Words for Business
BY BRUCE BARTON.

say Owosso, Mich. Then call in
a writer and say, "Get on the
train and go out and see what is
rotten in Owosso."
Undertaking did some good, but
we have come to realize now that
that it overpIayed its hand.
In fact, believe it could be
shown that the greatest force
for Righteousness in the United
States today is nothing more or
less than the once maligned
business.
Business is the greatest ally
and promoter Of honesty. And
more and more | have come to
feel that honesty is, after all, the
corner stone of all the virtues.
Nothing has impressed me
more than this: Get to the top
Of a big business enterprise, and
nine times out of ten you will
find an idealist.
You will find a man who has
long since ceased to be interested
in mere money making, who is
staying in business because of
what he wants his business to do
for his employees, his community
and his country.
do not say that business is
perfect. Far from it.
But do say that the time is
past when the young man who
goes into business needs to feel
that he is making a selfish
choice-a choice that cuts him
off from service to his fellow
men.
"Be not sIothful in business"
said St. Paul, "fervent in spirit,
serving the Lord"
Many a man, building a big
business in America, has, as a
by-product of his building,
strengthened the character and
lifted the ideals Of hundreds of
his associates and helped in the
regeneration Of a whole COM
munity.
And the number Of such men
the idealists Of business in Amer
iea-is increasing very fast.

U. S. Loan Being Sought
For Serb Land Project

Jugoslavia's provincial administra-
tons in Croatia and in Bosnia HerZe-
govina are negotiating with an Amer
lean firm. presumably the Founda-
ton Co., for a loan of $25,000,000 for
the purpose of draining swamp areas
and regulating rivers. Three large
swamps are being studied-the Lonjsko
Pole or field, between the Lonia and
Save Rivers; the Popova Pole in the
Herzegovina, and the Narenta lowlands.
The drainage and regulation would
make it possible to raise two crops an
nually on large area. The most in
teresting of these fields is the Popovo
Pole. A subterranean river is the out
let of this bottom land. In Winter the
field is flooded by heavy rains and in
Summer it is dry. 1t is curious in Sum-
mer to see the water line around the
edge of the then dry lake bottom.

Recent archaeology in Biblical lands,
DR.. Duncan says, has thrown much
new light in the Scriptures, which now
can be interpreted in the light Of exact
knowledge. He thus explains the story
of the Tower of Babel, which, curiously
enough, appears to be the origin of the
modern church steeple.
About 5000 &c." DR.. Duncan says
"the Sumerians, a non-Semetic people,
came into Babylonia. They probably
were the first settlers in the land be-
tween the Euphrates and Tigris. These
Sumerians were a religious people and
built temples for their divinities. Not
less than four of their temples have
been found in Babylon. Each had a
tower, separate from it but connected
with it. These towers were solid struc-
lures and consisted of platforms, each
slightly smaller than the one below.
The origin of these platform towers
lies In the fact that the Sumerlans,

WHEAT POOL HEAD REFUTES CHARGES

ers to the deficiency bill.
The reopened prohibition battle in
the house was accompanied by two
other important developments. Wet
leaders started circulation of petit
ton demanding that the house Judi
ciary committee hold hearings on the
proposal to impose a penalty of five
years in prison and $4,000 fine for
bootlegging.
If held, the hearings would take
so much time that the bill could not
be passed finally at this session, and
would die. The house also adopted a
rider to the deficiency bill without
debate providing for $250,0O0 for ex-
penses of Herbert Hoover's prohibi-
ton investigation, promised during
the recent campaign.
AS finally passed, the new aJdi-
tional prohibition items aggregate

of this increase was for the Hoover

POPLAR WILL HAVE
COMMUNITY HALL
Plan Two-StOry Building 5Ox14O-
Legion Post Starts Campaign to
Raise Necessary Funds.

Poplar.-That an active campaign
to raise funds for construction of a
large and thoroughly modern commun-
ity hall for Poplar would be COM
menced at once, was announced by
the Poplar Post of the American Lee
gion Saturday night. Plans are for
building that will answer the needs
of this community for number of
years to come. Approximately $780,
600 will go into the hall and equip
ment.
1t has been rumored for some time
past that the Legion was contemplate
ing move in this direction. The
need for such a project has been SER
iously felt for several years and much
enthusiasm was exhibited by people
at the dance when the actual start
of activities to finance it was an
nounced.
Plans were completed and commit
tees appointed to take charge of the
campaign at the last meeting of the
Legion, Monday nigh.
Large, Substantial Building
They propose to erect a hall the
main part of which will measure a.
bout so by 140 feet and be two stories
high. 1t will be substantially built,
probably of hollow tile or stucco. The
lower floor will be used as a hall and
auditorium and will include a stage,
dressing rooms and other details to
be worked out later.
Living Apartments Above
The top floor will be arranged into
several modern living apartments
Sound proof construction methods will
be used to assure quiet and privacy
for jewellers in the apartments. AS
there is always a demand for suitable
living quarters for rent in this city
they anticipate no difficulty in keep
ing the apartments occupied and ex.
pect considerable help toward paying
for the hall from the income from
them.
An annex to one side of the mair
structure will provide a kitchen, to be
fully equipped, quarters for the ma
tional guard, Legion club rooms, rest
rooms, cloak rooms, etc.
Plans for Financing
The Legion now owns about $70(
worth of lumber and has in its build
ing fund about $500 in cash. The
auxiliary has $500 set aside to hell
with the hall and will cooperate will
the Legion in future money-raisins
activities. AS planned these will b.
in the nature of dances, minstre
shows, plays, carnivals and celebra
: lions.
The organizations hope to realiz
from these activities this comm,
summer an amount sufficient to jus
tify the beginning of construction

EARLY CHICKS BRING
EARLY EGGS TO OWNER

Whether farmer is to get 20 cents
an hour for his labor with his poul-
try flock or "a cents an hour depends
largely upon whether he can get his
rullets into production in time to take
advantage of high winter egg prices,
it is shown by a recent experiment
conducted in Ohio.
A large percentage of the farmers
throughout the country can nearly
triple the labor income from their
chickens, merely by managing the
flocks so that at least 25 per cent of
the years egg production comes be-
tween October 1 and January 81, ac-
cording to the results of the test.
A group of farmers were united
for this experiment. Half of them
managed their flocks so that 2596 of
the total yearly production was dis
posed of in October, November, De-
cember and January, when eggs are
highest in price.
Figures showed that this practice
boosted their year-round average
price to 1871 cents a dozen for all eggs
sold, and gave them a return of 70
cent for every hour Of labor on poul-
try, after allowing for all other costs.
A second group of farmers, who
did not get their pullets in condition
for fall egg production, selling only
four per cent of their eggs in the
four high price months, received only
30.S cents a dozen for their year
round average price, and made only
24.5 cents an hour in labor income.
The secret of obtaining fall egg
production lies in securing chicks
early from good parent stock, so the
pullets will be laying in early Octo.
