POky Shaw Lost

Ohy ON1W A<Oot
Somebody had to go and import
lot of members of the Democratic
administration and park them here
until after election. So if anyone
sees lot of blackbirds lowering about
the construction building, don't get
excited. Like a flock Of ducks, they
will 60 south in the winter.
Slim Shaw is still in a daze.' He
came from Kingwood the other day
with his brother, Rebby, in his Eagle
Rock plane and the intense heat got
him all upset. He thought he was
getting around the equator, and when
he passed over the construction build
ing and saw all the dark patches on
the landscape he thought for sure he
was on the edge of the Sahara desert,
Africa.
He isn't entirely himself even yet.
And after the nightmare on Tuesday
when he had to carry transformer
single handed to restore electricity,
Scoop can hardly blame him.
%*%
By the way, where are the other two
ways of getting electricity to Oakland,
promised several years ago, in case
the regular circuit went bad? Two
minutes without lights was the most
that anybody would have to endure.
*#*
A marriage license was issued to
girl the other day by the name OF
Tocie Halle. Scoop is glad that her
name wasn't turned around to read
Halle Tocie, because then, even her
best friends would not have told her,
and she might never have known.
A sad case was reported to the drug
store loafers last week. The C. and P.
Telephone company, "Slim" in person,
saved key Sincell from falling into
Wilson's creek, behind the G. N. B., by
grabbing his arm as he was crossing
the turbulent waters on shaky log.
The sad part about it is that he didn't
fall in, according to Betty and Anda-'
lusia, the drug store twins.
The boss editor and Scoop himself
gave up the printing business last
Friday and went into the huckster
trade. We peddled cabbage to the
merchants all morning without losing
our tempers, but what got our goat
was when Lawrence Fraley said he
would take those two cabbage heads,
sitting in the front seat.

Tunes of long ago were enjoyed by
the telephone operators in the local
telephone office one day last week
when the wires were kept hot with
tunes about the "Good Old Summer
Time. The boss editor had occasion
to use the chorus of that good old
ballad in print, and he sent Scoop to
dig up the words. After calling on Bill
Gibson, Thad limbaugh, Mrs. Thad
and Mrs. Jim Treacy, Scoop was still
without the words in their entirety.
Everyone knew line or so but it was

Mrs. CASTOR Conyer visited Mrs.
VIM. Edgar at Grantsville one day
last week.
Glenn Barnett and family returned
to Wadsworth, o., Sunday, after be-
ing here some time with relatives.
Miss Lena Harding, Berlin, is spend
ing this week visiting at the home of
Mrs. Harry Rhodes.

not until after Mrs. Treacy and Mrs.
Arthur Lawton had hummed and
hawed it over the telephone for half
an hour that success finally crowned
the efforts.
Bill Gibson substituted the words
Hoochie Koochie, for Tootsy-Wootsy,
which wouldn't have looked so good in
print. That's what his memory does
for him.
Golf bugs are multiplying faster
than rabbits. If this keeps on stran-

green, lie, putter, bunker, ETC., usually
stamps one as coming from the elite.

Breathing fire and thunder he warned House leaders
that unless they took immediate action the whole bill
might be blown into nowhere. AS matter of fact it
is highly improbable that anybodys feeling would be
hurt if it were.
Now, it is being whispered in the ears of Senate

are frightened by the extent of the tariff bill The

What Price Politics.?

What has become of the old-fashioned political
candidate who could make platform out of his own
convictions and stand it-and likely as not, win?
The intricacies of modern Representative govern
ment' seem to have made him practically obsolete
Take for instance the case of DWIGHT W Morrow
Ambassador to Mexico and candidate for the Re-
publican nomination of Senator from New Jersey Mr.
Morrow can if he wishes step into the Senate now to
I'LL the vacancy left by former Senator Edge He can
stay there in all security until that term is up Furth
ermore, he would be extremely valuable as Senator.
But Mr.. Morrow, in order to campaign for six-year
position in the Senate must stay in New Jersey and
feel out public opinion in order to build up an ac-
ceptable platform.
Even worse than the necessity for shaping ones
convictions to political expediency is candidates in
creasng necessity for wealth. The fact that Ruth

dollars for the privilege of becoming public SER

AA4G oANG AMI 1IkE GLAA&
By Francis Miles Finch
By the flow of the inland river,
Whence the fleets of iron have fed.
Where the blades of the gravc-grass
quiver
Asleep are the ranks of the dead -
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Dag,
Under the one, the Blue;
Under the other, the Gray.
From tie silence of sorrowfui hours
The desolate mourners go,
Lovingly laden with flowers,
Alike for the friend and the foe
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day:
Under the roses, the Blue;
Under the lilies, the Gray.
So, with an equal splendor
The morning sun-rays fall,
With touch impartially tender,
On the blossoms blooming for all:
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day:
DlOluClCu WltH SOlu, tlc due
Mellowed with gold, the Gray.
So, when the summer calleth
On forest and field of grain,
With an equal murmur falleth
The cooling drip of the rain:-
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day:
Wet with the rain, the Blue;
Wet with the rain, the Gray.
No more shall the war-cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of Our
dead
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day:
Love and tears for the Blue
Tears and love for the Gray.

Logging Tractors
Aid In Preservation
Of American Forests

Today'S loggers have adopted new
) logging methods that are yielding
bigger profits yet saving the young
forest growth for future generations,
says Mexico Arizona Trading Co.,
S. A., local Caterpillar" dealer,
and the track-type tractor is the
backbone Of this new method of
logging. Myron E. Kreuger, Asso-
ciate Professor of Forestry, Univer-
sity of California writes in the For
estry issue of the California Coun-
tlman as follows: '..~@
Probably no one mechanical de-
velcpment of recent years has been
of greater aid to the advancement
of forestry practice than the track
laying type of tractor"
Caterpillar" Tractors have taken
hold in the toughest kind of work
and have made good because they
were found to be the ideal power
unit for logging under the new plan
Of sustained yielG", Gays Mexico
Arizona Trading Co., s A. From a
business stand point as well as from
the standpoint of forestry, it has
been necessary to harvest logs Just
as the farmer harvcSts his crops.
While the farnle er reseeos his land
each year or so, the logger dcpcnes

the young growth for both !uinye
harvests and reseeding. Obviously,
then the preservation OF the ycnng
trees is essential. AIticaaI power was
most satisfactory when moderately
rough country was being logged, and
before competition became so KCen
that mass production had to be a6-
opted. Mills increased their capacity
and demanded more loges. Animals
could not handle big loads. Then
donkey" engine logging came into I
wide use. Besides making it impos-
sible to log in any other way thar
in a straight line, and causing fire.
quent moving expense from one
stand to another, the donkey" sys-
tenn was destructive.
The damage caused to the young
stand of timber and the constantly
expense of moving the
donkey engines as the operations
moved to more inaccessible stands
forced loggers to seek a new tool.
The war record of Caterpillar"
Tractors suggested that they would
be able to do the work.
The adoption of the tractor was
not immediate. Ordinary agricultur-
al tractors would not hold up. It
look the exceptional tractor, one
that was rugged enough to stand
real abuse from men and the coun-
try. Only stands where nothing else
would work were logged with trac-
tors. Other elements, such as the
ocation of the railroad were not
planned for the tractors.
But improvement in the design

ID parts cut down wear and break

S that today more than half of the

MERGERS


Consolidation of several small en-
terprises to make a single large one
is not confined to manufacturing in
dustries. Senator Arthur Capper, of
Kansas, who knows what he is talk
ing about most of the time, says that
more than a million acres of Kansas
farm lands are now owned by cor
porations, and that recently ono cor
poration bought thirty farms in the
winter wheat region and merged
them.
Corporate farming is more of a
business enterprise and less of a mode
of living than farming by an indi-
vidual is. According to Senator Cap
per. these farm corporations hire men
who leave their families behind, to
go out in the FAN and put in the crop.
In Summer they hire other men to
come in and harvest the crop The
rest of the year nobody lives on the
big farms.
That seems menacing to the Sena-
tor from Kansas. He thinks it wilt
result in depletion of the soil, through
lack of crop rotation, maintenance Of
fertility and diversihcation. It is hard
to believe that any group of capital
engaging in business on large scale
would be so short-sighted as not to
take those things into considerations
and apply the most modern principles
of agriculture to their enterprise.

TRADEMARKS

1t would be interesting to make a
list of words which were invented
to serve as trademarks for particular
product, but which have come into
general use to describe anything re-
sembling the original article. Gel
luloid" is one of those words; it
strictly means only the product of the
Celluloid Company. "Kodak" is an
other; the same belongs to George
Eastman's cameras but we use it to
mean any small camera. When you
say "Colt' everybody familiar with
firearms knows you mean large
caliber pistol. Probably nine men out
of ten in the region where "6ve-gal-
lon" hats are worn refer to their head
gear as "Stetsons." "Winchester" is
almost a synonym for rifle" And
everybody refers to the abbreviated
masculine underwear which is now in
such general use by the trademark
of the first of its kind, "B.V.D.'s"
The adoption of such words in
general usage is one of the ways in
which language grows. A hundred
years from now probably, nobody will
say ''dirigible" but everybody will
know what you mean by a "zep."
