MONEY MEN SHOULD WORRY

The American Federation of Labor
points out that wage cutting means
mental or physical decline, in many
cases.
This has occurred in New York city,
where the New York state department
Of labor says that women clerical or
white collar workers, as a result of
sharp declines in their wages, must
have had to adjust their lives during
the past year to lower standards of
living in order to make their reduced
earnings cover the necessities of life. :"
Wage cutting undoubtedly often
causes irreparable damage to human
beings. Bankers and others who talk
lightly of wage cutting don't seem
to know this, or if they do, it doesn't
mean anything to them.

American Postal History

Samuel Osgood was the first post
master general, appointed by Washing
ton In 1889, after the Constitution was
adopted. The first postmaster general
In America. however. was Andrew
Hamilton, appointed In Colonial days,
in 1891. He was succeeded by his son,
John Hamilton. Following him, there
were four postmasters general, then
in 1853 the American colonies were
divided into two postal districts, with
a postmaster general for each. Ben
jamin Franklin served as one of these
from 1853 to 1774. In July, ITS, the
Continental congress made Franklin
again postmaster general, and he
served until the following year.

He Had His Reason

He is cook on a schooner. Very
timidly we poked our head inside the
door. He was chopping some meat
for hash.
"Come in," he said in broad Hun
garianese. We went In. His name is
Charley.
'How long have you been a cook,
Charleyw
"Fift' year."
We whistled with amazement.
'How old are you, Charley?"
"Sixty- eight"
Fifty years cook Apparently the
height Of ambitionlessness.
We left him to interview the cap
tain.
Charley, back there-why does he
stick to cooking?"
Taciturnly the captain replied:
"Darn good reason-cook gets $50
a month, sailor get S60."-Philadelphi

TOO MANY GAS" STATIONS?

international Labor News Service
has pointed out in the past that there
are too many gasoline service sta
tions, resulting in cut-throat compe-
tition, which does neither the auto
mobile owner nor the oil business any
good. Now comes along the conserva-
tive Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey and says the same thing in
an annual report that is being hailed
as one of the frankest financial re-
ports ever issued by a big corpora
tion. Says the report:
"The pressure of surplus supplies
continued to expand retail outlets, of
which there are now at least three or
four for every one needed to serve
the consumer conveniently and expe-
ditiously. The amount of capital tied
up in filling stations built in duplica-
tion of existing, adequate outlets is

Penguins Prefer Ice

When eight penguins arrived recent
ly In Europe to be transferred to
Continental zoo, they caused great
trouble because they found the climate
too warm. The penguin, whose home
is in the Antarctic, loves cold weather,
and officials tried to devise a means of
keeping them cool. All plans failed
until big "ice box" was built for
them, and house" of heavy planks,
with roof of heat-resisting tar paper,
was erected In the box. Each day,
500 pounds of Ice, cut in layers, was
spread on the floor, and then the birds
were quite happy. They slept on the
ice-standing up, as is their way
Shrubs and green's surround the
"house," and there was lake where
the birds could satisfy their natural
love for water.

NO FUN FOR THE POSTMAN

Practical jokesters have found out
that the post office departments pa
tience has limits, though it's sense of
humor is as good as ever. Last year,
when officials warned that freakishly
addressed mail would not be deliv-
cred, they meant it. Since then, there
has been a gradual let-up in this
childish sport. Such letters went back
to the sender or to the dead letter
office until the futility of sending
them finally percolated into the writ
ers' mind.
Postal employees are remarkably
expert in deciphering addresses made
up of symbols, pictures, or other fan
tastic devices. Publicity given to this
ability led many people to test it out
''just for fun" 1t was lots of fun
for the citizen, all right, but hard
on the postal service. Of course, an
envelope bearing a picture of brown
derby would logically go to CAP
Smith, while Amos N Andy would
readily receive any mail addressed
only with their radio title But other
products of abortive ingenuity caused
the postal employees to spend an in
ordinate amount of time directing the
letters to their destination.-EX.

Study of Languages Old

It Is a great error to think that
schools for foreign languages are
modern innovation. In almost prehis-
toric times, some 1900 years ago, such
school existed on the shores of the
eastern Mediterranean, the crossroads
between Asia, Europe and Africa AS
many as six languages considered mod
ern by the students of the Fifteenth
century B. G. were taught in the uni
versity OF town called Zapuna, which
was unearthed by two French archeol-
ogists. Clay tablets, which served as
school books to the philologists Of an
Client times, and one of the worlds
first dictionaries, were among the
outstanding finds made.

WAGE CUTTING

Practically every large employer of
labor on the face Of mother earth is
still struggling to maintain his own
standard of living by cutting wages.
Cutting wages only lowers the
purchasing power of the employe,
along with his standard of living.
One would think men who have
enough judgment to build up large
firms and corporations would have
just as keen judgment to recog-
nize they are cutting their own
throats by so greatly reducing the
buying power of the public.

ct GET colds, of course" says Miss
Lee, popular radio contralto, "but
I have to 60 on the air just the same.
A cough would kill my program"
That's why, like many other radio
artists, she has learned to rely on
Pertussin. It's quick-and it's safe and
pleasant to take. For Pertussin is made
from a medicinal herb called thyme
and is entirely free from narcotics and
injurious, habit-forming drugs.
Broadcasting studios use Pertussin
because it relieves coughs and eases
the throat almost instantly. Doctors
have prescribed it for over twenty-five
years-especially for children.
Winter weather brings coughs.
Watch out! Get Pertussin for quick
relief. Stop in at the nearest druggists
for bottle.

NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico February
24.-Sidney Franklin, fouled by black
bull Sunday is nursing wounded right
leg.
The Brooklyn artist-matador was
saved from possible death in the arena
here Sunday by Marcial Lalanda,
Spanish bull fighter, and Frsnklin's
rival for the bi-lingual cheers OF a
holiday crowd
Franklin killed four bulls. The fifth.
the black one, gored him when he
slipped on soft sand. Franklin, strug-
gled to his feet to renew the combat,
but Lalanda, seeing Franklin's leg was
bleeding, rushed to the rescue.
A moment later the American tainted
and was carried from the ring. La
landa finished the bull, but Franklin
returned before the next fight was con-
cluded to receive an ovation.
The bullfght was an event Of a
Laredo, Tex. Washington's birthday
fiesta. Franklin was taken to Laredo
hospital. Physicians said they doubted
that the wound would permit him to
appear in a bullfight arranged for next
Sunday just across the border from
Eagle Pass, Tex.
Franklin has suffered several injuries
since he left commercial art for the
bullring in 1928. He was gored in Lis
bon August IL, 1929, and in Madrid
March 16, 1880 He was tossed in
Ceuta, Spanish Morocco, May IA, 1880.

Emphasis on livestock project.
is being increased in the 1893
plans for All club work in Roose
welt county which were outlined
by the All club council in a meet
ing held at the County Extension
office last Wednesday.
Club members will have theil
choice of three calf club projects
two swine projects and one cror
project. In all projects the club
members will keep records of feed
used, cost of supplies and other
expenses in order that they may
have a better realization of the
cost of production.
Swine work will be centered
around the Sow and Litter" club.
In these projects the boys will
own and manage a bred gilt from
mid-winter until November or
such time as the young stock are
ready to sell.
The Market Pig" project will
be started in the Spring. In this
project the members will own and
feed three pigs from weaving time
until they are marketed.
Corn production will involve
the planting. cultivation and har-
vesting of one or more acres Of
cor using approved methods.
The "Bucket-fed Calf" project
involves feeding a calf grain dur
ing the summer while the calf is
following the COW. Creep feed
ing" will be given feed in a creep

grain in the barn twice a day from
the time the calves will first eat
grain until the calves are market
ed in the fall. January and Feb

preferred. All calves must be
broke to lead and must be hand
led.
