sing appreciation of work done by the
recent session of the Minnesota Leg

The FOrty-eighth session of the
Legislature is now history. The
American Legion, Department of Min

structive legislation was passed which
will improve general conditions of the
silent toiling masses of our state.
We are particularly grateful for the
earnest cons liberation given by you
and your colleagues to measures spon-
sored and endorsed by the American
Legion.
I'VE at all times take the attitude
that the welfare of the nation and
state is more important than the well
fare of any individual or organization,
but we do feel that those who offered
their lives for their country in its
hour of need, should not be the last
to be considered in times of peace"

THE STRANGE LAND OF DENMA Rk
TabOr)

Denmark is a queer country. She
depends heavily on her foreign trade,
and since most of her customers are
half broke, she is having hard times.
Some 100000 persons in the little
country are unemployed.
Danish employers tried to cut
wages 20 per cent. The workers
wouldn't agree. The Employers AS
sociation combined to lock out 10O,-
900 workers in certain industries
and then the government went into
action. Premier Theodore Staining
has called for law forbidding lock-
outs for year, and the Minister of
Education has proposed to make up
part of the slack by adding another
year to the period of compulsory
schooling. In relief work on the
roads, machines are laid by and men
work by hand.
"A lockout in times like these
would be Madness" declared the
premier.
A strange country, Denmark. With
sand for soil and fogs for the chief
staple of climate. it exports farm pro-
Guce by shiploads. The only people
who cannot read and write in that
country are the feeble-minded. Crime
is rare to a degree that would be
called downright immoral in some
American cities. Until the depres-
sion, at least, there was virtually no
pauperism. And when lockOuts are
threatened as a means of beating
Mo-
1t is just barely possible that if
we tried real hard, we might learn
something from Denmark.

of a policeman was the spark
of revolt.
Formosa. a sizeable island in
the Pacific off the coast Of
China, was taken over by the
Japanese after they had de-
feated China in the war of 1895.
At that time on FormoSa there
were 100000 of the original in
habitants, one of the StrangeSt
peoples in the world.
The Formosan tribesman is a
wild hombre when he works
himself up to fighting fury. He
requires desperate treatment.
But the missionaries protested
vigorously when the Mikado's
satraps employed high tension
electric power wires as instru-
ments of destruction.
Steady Extinction
They are pretty much the
direct opposite of another IA
nous group of head-hunters,
the little Jivaros of the jungles
of Brazil and Ecuador. The
little Jivaros go in for head
hunting as a business rather
than a sport. Business COM
bined with revenge. The heads
they take in jungle warfare have
a definite commercial value, but
if they choose to dispense with
the profit and hang up the
curiously shrunken trophies they
can do so for the satisfaction
of family pride.
The Jivaro believes that he
will be thoroughly out OF luck
unless he applies the law Of a
head for a head to some enemy
who has removed a relative
from the world. Moreover, the
5-year-old Jivaro boy is taken
aside by his father every morn
ing for five years. Into his
small head is drummed the
wrongs that enemies have in
flicted on his family, and he is
told the price that must be paid
in heads to satisfy those
wrongs.
On the other hand, the big
Formosan head hunter plays
the game for the sport of the
thing. He's a broad-shouldered
six footer, and often quite good
looking as we'll as powerfully
built.
The Formosan has a knowl.
edge of some crafts and touch
of Chinese culture. The Japa-
nese loathe these people and
would exterminate them. They
are probably doomed, and what
we are witnessing now, far off
across the Yellow Sea, is the
steady extinction of a very an.
cient and interesting race. 1t
is not often in the sweep of the
centuries that we can look on
from afar and behold the pass
ing of a distinct race of man"

u. Scuba Treaty Repeal
Aim of Beet Sugar Bloc
BIZ James T. Williams, J.

War for 1901, when he said:
Cuba has acquieSced in our
right to say that she shall not
put herself in the hands OF
any other power, whatever her
necessities, and in our right to
insist upon the maintenance OF
free and orderly government
throughout her limits, however
impoverished and desperate
may be her people.
"COrelative to this right is
duty of the highest obligation
to treat her not as an enemy,
not at arms length as an ag-
gresSive commercial rival, but
with generosity which toward
her will be but justice; to
shape our laws so that they
shall contribute to her welfare
as well as our own.
Owe Reciprocity
aside from the moral Obliga-
ton to which we committed
ourselves when we drove Spain
out of Cuba. and aside from the
ordinary considerations of com.
mercial advantage involved in .
reciprocal treaty, there are the
weightieSt reasons of American
public policy pointing in the
same direction; for the peace Of
Cuba is necessary to the peace
of the United States; the health
of Cuba is necessary to the
health of the United States.
"The same considerations
which led to the war with Spain
now require that a commercial
arrangement be made under
which Cuba can live. The con.
ditiOn of the sugar and tobacco
industries in Cuba already il
such that the earliest possible
action by Congress on this sub.
ject is desirable"
Every word of this statement
of Mr.. Root is as true today
as it was the day it was writ
ten. We owe Cuba a more
liberal reciprocity treaty than
the one now in force. The beet
sugar Senators are determined
to defeat any new reciprocity
treaty after they have repealed
the Platt Amendment. If they
can repeal this amendment.
they will then declare that this
country is under no obligation
to enter into any reciprocal re-
lationS with Cuba.
There is nothing liberal"
about this attitude of the beet

1t is the reverse of liberal be-
cause it involves the sacrifice
of the best interests of all Of

selfish interests of 100000

the Russians have done some
interesting things to homes.
Homes in Russia-as homes
everywhere-have been on a
tough spot these last years.
Space shrinking. Big Business
taking over one domestic job
after another. Wives leaving
the homes to follow the jobs.
Children leaving the homes to
roam the streets, go to the
gymnasiums, take in movies.
HOW CAN YOU KEEP UP
THE OLD-FASHIONED HOME
IN THE FACE OF CHANGES
LIKE THAT? THE ANSWER
1S-YOU CAN'T!
We've been facing that answer
here in America, just as the
Russians have. But the Rus
slams aren't satisfied with just
facing things, and sobbing or
swearing over them. They're an
intense and practical people.
If the Old Fashioned Home had
gone for good, then there must
be a New Fashioned Home, so
they reasoned. Meaning what?
The Russians didn't know eX-
actly what a New Fashioned
Home might mean. But they
went right ahead and made ex-
periments. And a lot Of gosh
awful mistakes. Now, out OF
those experiments and mistakes,
they're forming a rough pattern
Of a Modern Home.
What's it like? Well, in the
first place, it's like-reality. 1t
isn't like what a sentimental
picture of a home ought to be.
It's like what a modern home
has to be in modern Russia un-
der modern conditions.
It's a very small home-only
a few rooms, with just so much
space legally allotted to each
person. That's because there's
very little room for family life
in Russia today. It's also be-
cause family life in Russia to-
day isn't spent in rooms or in
homes. It's spent outside the
home-in factories, fields, thea
tiers, gymnasiums. tennis courts.

ONCE OVERS

You do not like to aCknow-
ledge 1t but if the truth were
told, that may be the reason
why so few people visit you.
Because you don't like to give
up your personal pleasure in
order to entertain them.
On the other hand there are
folk who love their friends and
want to see them and would dc
much to entertain them.
But they are so bound by the
chains of circumstances that
they cannot see their way clear
to accept or dispense much, in
the way of hospitality.
Whatever the reason you have
for dreading a visit from a
friend, don't let anyone right
fully suspect you are too selfish
to put. yourself out in any way.
