Oldest Vessel

The Gufa, still in use for the
conveyance of passengers and
goods on the River Tigris, is the
oldest type of vessel in the world.
1t is a circular basket of reeds
coated inside and out with pitch
from the bitumen wells of Hit, and
thus rendered waterproof. Hero
dotus, in the history of his travels
lover 400 B. c., speaks of these
river-craft, and describes them
exactly as they appear today.

Hard Shell Hens

By selecting chicks from thick
and thin-shelled eggs, respectively,
poultry breeders at the University
of California have developed two
distinct lines of hens, one of which
produces hard-shelled and the other
soft-shelled eggs A good laying
flock then can be developed from
the hard-shel hens, and the soft
shelters can go to pot.

FRENCH WORKERS
CONDEMN SOVIET

Paris (ILNS). - French organized

of the Russian Soviet invasion of Po-
land as aid to an aggressor and ten

workers"
The Russian invasion was denounced
in resolution signed by Leon Jou-

chief officers of the French Confed-
GRAFTON of Labor. No further col
laboration is possible with the French
Communist minority within the or
ganization, the resolution says. 1t
calls upon labor to stand shoulder to
shoulder in condemning the Soviet
action for the sake of honor, moral
ity and the human solidarity under

enough" If business and industry
do not join in solving that problem,
he said, the government "goes broke

But we unite in a desire to serve bust

nor is the Department of Justice in

Leon Trotsky Charges

war commissar, denounced Russia s
invasion of Poland as shameful and
criminal" and betrayal of world Ia
Dor. He declared here it was appar-
ent that while Russia was discussing
with France and Britain the military
defense of Poland" she was studying
with Representatives of the German
general staff the question of the de-

The Kremlin, he charged, deceived

but "it deceived Systematically the
toiling masses of the Soviet Union

BY Mr.. MOdestus-

Eat what you can
What you can't eat, you can
Or, as the Britisher told the joke
You eat all that you want
And what is left over you tin, hal
But all that is principally done in
the United States
For we do 79 per cent of all the
canning done in the world
Shipping to the rest of the world
only one-seventh-
Which amounts to 100000 cases
of canned goods
Distributed in other countries. in
1897
Your great-grandmoth
Taught her daughters how to "put
down" preserves
In crooks, and cups, and jars
Making apple-butter, such as you
never tasted
Marmalades, and ounce preserves
long forgotten
Candied rinds of melons, and peel
ings of oranges
But glass was too expensive in
those days
Until Mason glass cans, and Ball

With screw tops and rubber gas

Came in along in the middle of the
nineteenth century
! Then somebody found out how to
make tin cans, cheaply-
/ Somebody else found the processes
for cooking and curing
/ While all together worked on the
problem of preventing ferment-
Until canneries spread all over the
map
Stimulating gardeners to raise to-
matoes by the acre
And whole farms were given up
to growing sweet corn
As up in Manitowoc County, Wis

Where the Britisher wondered what
Americans did
With so much maize, don't you

Salmon going to waste in Alaska
Became almost something to start
war about
Between Japanese and United
States fishermen
Pineapples, grown most marvel
lously in Hawaii
Got themselves into cans by the
aid of Filipinos-
With japanese business men and
their coolie cousins
Aiding in the growing and preserv-
ing of the fruit
Which then found markets the
world over
Tin cans furnish one reason
Why Americans are able to live
better
AS well as affording a safe and
reliable method
For handling food supplies, not
otherwise to be had

about many things, Sometimes pre-
feundly. Sometimes fippantly,
sometimes recklessly.
More about dictators.

More about dictators.
The total of human happiness is
the sum of our ability to preserve
our own individuality while making
wise concessions necessary in rela-
tions with others. The substitution
of mutually for unrestricted freedom
The primeval savage had no re-
strictions whatever on his freedom
But he did not have much of any
thing else.
The first time two families tried
the experiment of living together ir
the same cave, concessions and ar
rangements and reservations became
necessary. And this continued as the
communities grew from groups to
tribes and tribes to nations.
In our democracy, the evolution has
been startlingly rapid. The pioneer
shot his meat and planted his crops
without restraint When restraint
irked, he just packed up and went
elsewhere. On a road that he made
himself. Daniel Boone moved from
his beloved Kentucky to Missouri be-
cause the congestion of population
had arisen to the smothering figure of
five to the square mile.
Now, for our own comfort and pro-
lection, we cannot cross a street ex-
cept under rules established by those
to whom we have delegated the man
agement of the necessary part of our
liberties.
And right there, in the wisdom with
which we delegate control and to
whom, is the problem of the best
government.
Democracy is the best government.
For the simple fact is that the human
race has tried every other form, from
absolute despotism to anarchy, and
found them all wanting in the final
test. This test is how the people fare
under them.
Democracies are slow. They are
just as wise or stupid as are the mass
minds of their citizens. But, in the
long run, they do give to the people
what they want. And not what some
one else decides they want or should
want.
And if we blunder, we can "cuss
out" each other and do better next
time.
If the executives we hire as man
ayers blunder, we can change them
for someone else. Maybe better.
Maybe worse. But the one we col
lectively decide upon.

Relief Load

The Butler County relief load con-
tinued to rise last week as AZ new
cases were added, Miss Isabel Boards
ley, commissioner of the Hamilton
Department of Public Assistance, an
nounced this week.
The relief list now totals 1,418
cases, of which 666 are in Hamilton,
358 in Middletown, and 394 in the
townships. While Hamilton added
27 families last week and Middletown
81, the township load decreased by IL.

S24,499,000 IN NEW LOANS
FOR LOW COST HOUSING

Washington, D. C. (AFLWNS). -
Loans totaling $24,499,00O for slum
clearance and low-cost housing prof.
ects in seven cities were approved
by Nathan Straus, United States
Housing Authority administrator. In
cluded in the loans was New York
City which received $6,631 900 to-
ward $7,368,O0O project to house

And, in the ability to blunder and
learn, in the old process of trial and
error, lies the hope of human progress.
On the contrary, delegation of too
much power, its surrender so COM
pletely that we cannot take it back,
means that we have lost our power of
thinking, of decision, of racially grow
ing wisdom. Until a generation or
two are on the road to become col
lective "yes-men," syncophants and
robots.
One man may decide one question
better than 120,000,000 may.
On the other hand, he will blunder
more completely and disasterously.
And when the people blunder, all
the people suffer.
But, when the dictator blunders, the
people do the suffering.
And they have no redress. Unless
someone shoots the dictator or he
dies. Ours is the best government
in the history of the world because
we hire the managers of our public
business for stated terms. And, when
these contracts expire, they have to
renew their contract, if they and we
want to, on the basis of performance.
Just like your church. Or your
village, or any firm of business you
may be so fortunate as to have an
interest in
Because democracies are slow, they
must delegate more power in emer-
gencies, which need quick action
But we are safe as long as we know
what we are doing. That we are
dealing with temporary conditions by
temporary expedients.
And that we must retain the power
and the agencies through which we
can take back our rights of self-man-
agement when the emergency has
passed
And wise ones have said that the
enslavement of people who hold fast
to the free ballot is impossible. 1t
looks that way, doesn't it?
And right there is the differ
ence between democracy and a
dictatorship. In the first, the
people have retained the say-so.
They have the power to- give or
to withhold. And they give or
withhold as conditions dictate.
A dictatorship is democracy gone
wild. BY force or persuasion, the
people have been fooled into giving
up all their power, even the machin-
cry for regaining that power.
And so they are marching up to
the machine guns in Europe, in the
hands Of other puzzled and frightened
fellow beings, because they are more
afraid of the machine guns that their
master has than they are of those of
the enemy he has selected. And they
will only be free again when the fears
are reversed.
