The Wav of Life

(Omaha World 1erald
Once there was a hod carrier who had to work with q
group OF other bod carriers who were always Raging
him. They poked fun at him because he could not carry
as many hods in a day as they could. Each of the others,
too, could carry more In his bod at one load-or so he
CLAIMED. The man cursed his luck and wished he had
gone IN tor chicken raising on a small scale.
There was q clerk in a big store who felt that life had
handed him the rawest Of raw deals. Seemed as if he
couldn't get along with his fellow clerks. They ragged
MIN and called him slow and he wanted like everything
to quit the clerk business and raise chickens.
The owner Of the store was sadder than any of his
clerks and often he could not sleep nights. It appeared
at least to hin1--that his fellow merchants wouldn't
play ball as to prices and the like. Sometimes they &C
cused him OF things Of which he was not guilty and this
inter1ered with his appetite. He often wished that he
had gone in for raising chickens.
Senator Blank almost passed out from sheer envy
when President Double Blank was elected. He had
wanted the office like all get out and it graveled him to
see Double Blank get in there. He had a notion to chuck
politics once for all and get him a small chicken ranch
back home.

Brutality at Sea Passing

If you have numbered among your ancestors an old
time sailing ship mate-a "bucko mate" of the old days
it might be well for you to go out to the cemetery and
have a look at his grave. The chances are that he has
recently turned over in it.
The reason for this lies in an obscure little news item
that may have escaped your attention altogether; a story
telling how the United States supreme court the other
day upheld the award of $4,000 to a sailor, who had sued
the steamship company that employed him because a
petty officer knocked him down with a monkey wrench.
This sailor was struck and floored because he was late
in coming on watch. He sued and won his $4,000; the
company appealed the case, claiming that the occur
renee was simply a brawl common among sean1en and
not a thing for which the company could be held liable.
The supreme court turned the appeal down, and the
sailor will get his money.
So, we repeat-the graves Of the old-time mates OF
the days of square sail had better be inspected. For II
there is anything on earth that would make one of those
old ~ruffians turn over in his last resting place it would
be the news that a ships officer can no longer knock
down a sailor at will, as he could in the days when
Charley Hanson sailed the seven seas.
Our old traditions seem to be passing fast. None was
ever better entrenched than this tradition of brutality
at sea. While American sailing ships were winning fame
for speed and seaworthiness all over the world, they we're
also becoming notorious among sailors everywhere for
abuse and hard treatment. 1t was common to speak of
an American ship as a "hell wagon" To discipline a
crew with fists, Delaying pins and sea boots, all applied
freely where they would do the most good. was known
as giving them yankee music"
This brutality was closely interviewer with the Ameri-
can record at sea. A man who shipped before the mast
in an American ship, especially in the latter days OF sail,
when expenses were pared to the bone, crews were small
and crimps shanghaied the witless dregs Of the water
front to serve as able seanen. expected to be kicked and
wanoped. The prime function Of the mate was TO rule
with an iron hand, and he generally did it with a whole
souled earnestness.
There was one tradition whose passing no one need
lament. The American sailor today gets decent quarters,
decent food. decent pay and decent treatment. His Of
ficers have no greater privileges than the foremen in
industrial plants ashore. which is as 1t should be. II a
sailor is struck he can get damages. The hard-boiled
era Of 1.-The glorious days of SAIL has died forever. and
1t Is a good thing.
But-can you imagine what one Of those old "bucko
mates" would say about this little lawsuit?

Foods for a Traveller

A recent dispatch from New York presents some inter
esting statistics on sectional preferences in food in the
United States.
Corned beef hash, it develops, is New York's most
popular restaurant dish. Philadelphia's favorite is, of
course, scrapple. New Orleans diners like their food
highly seasoned. In the middle west the reverse is true.
Minnesota goes for steaks in a big way. California is ex-
tremely fond Of salads. Boston baked beans are popular
everywhere, although the eating OF them has become a
Saturday night ritual nowhere but in their native city.
Travellers often complain that American cooking is too
standardized; but there are still sectional preferences and
local favorites. The traveller who takes pains to inquire
about these local dishes and ask for them can still en-
Joy considerable variety as he goes about the country.
Gutzon Borglum, sculptor, who took the liberty to delete
certain words from Cal Coolidges history Of America to
be carved on a mountainside, probably thought he would
knock a chip off his boulder.

This is the future of the sheep

DR.. j. H. Shepherd president Of the
Agricultural college, sees it.
Since 1922 our sheep numbers
have increased more than 300 per
cent, and, in the light of the present
low prices at which breeding ewes
can be purchased, it seems logical to
expect that this increase should con-
tinue.
sheep are selling at low prices this
fall and no PREMIER is demanded for
W lambs. This situation gives the
man who wants to start a flock a
chance to get the best of the eve
lambs at present market prices, as the
owners are not generally saving eve
lambs for their flocks this season.

The drouth which has fallen upon
many of our heavy sheep growing dis
tricts in America is probably resron-
sible for range eve lambs SO largely
going to market, and also for yearling
ewes being available at $3.50 per
head"
DR.. Shepherd points out that about
one-thlrd Of the sheep producing re-
.gions of the United States have been
hit by drouth this year, which prob
ably means no increase, but a posi-
bic reduction, in the next two lamb
