= By NEA Service
TABOR, Ia, March 22.-This
town is the terminus for what is
undoubtedly the smallest, shortest,
oldest and most obliging railroad in
the country.
The road is the Tabor g. North
ern line, with eleven miles of track,
four cars and a personnel Of one
e. v. Stopper, who combines in
his own person the functions OF
owner, general manager, agent,
conductor and-most of the time
engineer and fireman.
1t was forty years ago that the
road was built, connecting Tabor
with the town Of Malvern. For a
long time it prospered hugely, then
came hard-surfaced roads, automo-
biles, motor buses and so on, and
It almost went out of business.
But Stopper revived it. He built
his own cars-m miniature coaches
powered with Ford motors. And he
became the most obliging trainman
in Iowa's history.

way will stop the train and entrust

1t to the federal trade commission.
Aside from these things the record
is barren.
The liberal group was not able
to secure withdrawal of troops from
Nicaragua. Most of its members
opposed the cruiser bill unsuccess-
fully. No anti-injunction legislation
was secured, and all attempts at
amending the tax law to secure pub
lefty of returns or of refunds failed.
Aside from blocking confirmation
of Irvine Lenroot as customs judge,
the liberals have accomplished little
in the matter of appointments. And
the Lenroot victory may only be
temporary. On the confirmation Of
Roy O. West as secretary of in
terror, they fought and lost, and
lost also on the question of making
public this vote.
The new congress will, however,
find liberals in control of a large
number of committee chairman
ships, and there is little likelihood
that they can be displaced from
these.

DO you always nest as high up as
that?" inquired Peter.
No" replied Beauty. I'VE have had
home in hollow stump, but we al
ways feel safer if our home is up high.
Peter scratched one long ear with one
long hindleg. Then he scratched the
other long ear with the other long
hindleg. Peter was thinking. He says
that scratching his long ears with his
long hindfeet always helps him to
think. Beauty watched him few min

Il was wondering about those baby
Ducks, replied Peter.
What about them" inquired Beauty
That hole is very high up said
Peter.
"Of course it is" replied Beauty
THAT is what pleases US. We wanted
a home high up"
That is all very we'll for you and
Mrs. Wood Duck, but what about the

We'll, what about them?" Beauty
replied.
How" demanded Peter, "are they
up there until they are big enough to
fly down? I cannot imagine IL young
Ducks big enough to fly being crowded
into that hollow tree.

said he. Il fear that some of them
would smother to death long. long be-

Then how" demanded Peter, will
they get down?''
They'll get down all right" replied
Beauty. IF you are around about that
time. you may be interested in seeing
them get down.
When will it be?" demanded Peter
eagerly.
"Oh, not for some time" replied
Beauty. You see. it takes quite a
while to hatch out Ducks eggs. Mrs.

eggs two or three weeks yet"

Andrew Johnson's Fearlessness.

Andrew johnson, who was the least
picturesque of our Presidents, possessed
two qualities useful to public man
magnetism and fearlessness. says the
Pathfinder Magazine. An incident
which happened in the early days OF the
struggle III Tennessee, when he was
hated by the whole secession element,
illustrates these traits. Scheduled to
address meeting in the town hall, he
had been informed on good authority
that a half dozen men were ready to
shoot him as soon as he appeared be-
fore the audience.
When Johnson arrived on the plat
form he deliberately produced pistol
and laid it on the table in front OF him,
while a silent audience regarded him
with curiosity. At last he spoke. Il

that the first business before the meet
ing is to shoot me. ! move that the

Protect Your Boundaries
By Elsie Robinson

Yesterday the cattle broke
through into Sid Blake's oats and
ruined the whole field for him.
Everyone is sorry for Sid but
they know 1t was his own fault.
He's put off fencing the south
end of his field properly and
that's the result.
You and I have only ourselves
to blame, partner, if some one
breaks through our unprotected
boundaries and lays waste our
property. And you may bet on 1t
that the average human WILL
break through II you give him
half a chance.
A cynical view. Not at all.
Merely a natural fact. We're still
largely, predatory animals, ever
lastingly on the hunt for more
power or perquisites. Everyone
is beset by everyone else
