him. It is judgment of people as
people rather than as classes:
Intolerance and group prejudice
are a resentment of anybody that's
different, a manifestation of inse-
curity and ignorance, and a form of
bullying akin to that. of chickens
picking on the one with part of its
feathers already off.
Intolerance whispers and listens
to gossip and rumor.
The intolerant is one who has a
mob or a safe majority with him
and is mean enough to take ad-
vantage of it, which is why appeals
to intolerance are so generally used
by rabble-rousers and demagogues.
An appeal to prejudice, an at
tempt to divide the United States
along social, racial and religious
lines, and so to conquer it, was the
chief hope of our enemies during
the war.
FAIR PLAY starts at home,
where little pitchers have big
ears" Even thoughtless remark
by parents and absorbed by child
rem can foster intolerance in school
and in the play groups of the neigh
borhood, where it grows its first
poisonous rots and often assumes
its cruelest forms.
We have made many laws of lib
erty in the country, nurtured many

Let it shine from out the hear of

TWO LETTERS
Abraham Lincoln's letter to Mrs.
Bixby of Massachusetts,:
Dear Madam:
I have been shown in the files of
the War Department a statement Of
the Acknowledgement of Massachu-
sets that you are the mother of five
sons who have died gloriously on
the field Of battle. I feel how weak
and fruitless must be any words Of
mine which should attempt to be-
guile you from the grief Of loss
so overwhelming. But I can not re-
frain from rendering to you the
consolation that may be found in
the thanks of the republic they died
to save. I pray that our heavenly
Father may assuage the anguish
of your bereavement, and leave you
only the cherished memory Of the
loved and lost, and the solemn
pride that must be yours to have
laid so costly a sacrifice upon the
altar of freedom.
Yours very sincerely and respect
fully,
Abraham Lincoln
Message from Kaiser Wilhelm II
of Germany to Frau Meter of Del
menhorst-O ldenburg:
His Majesty the Kaiser hears that
you have sacrificed nine sons in de-
tense Of the Fatherland in the
present war. His Majesty is i'm
mensely gratified at the fact, and
in recognition is pleased to send
you his photograph, with frame and
autograph signature.

PEULAH and Candida had met in

something was a desire to live on
farm in the country.
They talked about it necessarily.

He was a radio singer, suffering
from nervous breakdown. He had
come to Hillside to recuperate. Beu-
lab met him one day on a deserted
section of country road. He was
walking and she gave him lift back
to town in the delivery truck.
PEULAH was thrilled. During the

Barnaby and she couldn't take the
other girl everywhere with them.
Beulah was wondering how, when
Barnaby proposed marriage and she
accepted him, she was going to
break the news to Candida.
Two nights later Beulah delivered
half dozen fowl to the village
church for its semi-annual supper,
and was returning home earlier than
she was expected. Lights were on
in the front room and through the
window she saw Barnaby holding
Candida in his arms, kissing her.
Beulah was furious. She
stormed into the house. Can
dida tried to be calm and ex-
plain that she and Barnaby had
loved each other all along. They
hadn't had the courage to tell
Beulah.
you - you vixen!" Beulah
shrieked.
A week passed. The girls went
about their duties without speaking.
Both knew that sooner or later they
would have to come to some agree
ment about the farm.
So in the end Beulah made ar
engagements with Lawyer Stearns
and one evening the girls set out in
the delivery truck for his law Of
flee to write the final chapter in
their adventure.
They were silent on the drive to
town. Even when the car lights went
out for no eXplainable reason nei-
Their of them said anything. Silently
Beulah got out, lifted the hood, dis
covered fuse was blown, and hav-
ing no spare, tried to produce a
malseshift from a hairpin. 1t began
to look as though there was nothing
to do but continue on foot, when
suddenly the connection was made
and the lights flared up.
In the glare of the headlights a
man and woman, evidently having
come up in the darkness without
knowing of the trucks presence,
were standing in close embrace.
The man was Barnaby Xerxes.
Nobody said anything for mo-
ment; then Barnaby turned and be-
gan walking swiftly away. The girl
followed him.
Beulah got into the truck. She
started the motor. She looked at
Candida. Candida looked at her.
"Oh, shucks!" said Beulah pres
emily, "let's 60 back and milk the
COW and call it day"
"Oh, let's!" cried Candida.

So for year the two girls worked

small scale farming.
When spring came they drove
up into the country and called
on the farmers who had offered
their homes for sale. The Sec

they made profit. The enterprise

Antarctic Floating
Cannery Factory

The 2O,OOO-tOn Norwegian tank
er "kosmOs V" has returned to
her home port SandefjOrd after a
very successful experiment as a
floating canning factory.
No less than 100000 cans of
meat-cakes and 10000 tins of liver
paste were canned on the spot
from whales freshly caught. The
whole of this amount was canned
in "a working days. The whale
meat had to be transported to
"Kosmos v" from other factory
ships. Bad weather sometimes
held up supplies. Because of the
limitation imposed by the Norwe-
gian Government on the number
of whale refinery ships, 'Kosmos
v" was not allowed to act as a
processing snip for the wholes
caught by catcher-boats. 1t was
dependent on other expeditions for
the supply of meat. Experts are
of the opinion that in the future
canning plants should be installed
on the actual refinery ships.

Scandal Am. Raped

The scandinavian American.
l am sorry to see that accord
ing to the editorial of May 9th the
Scandinavian American seems to
have fallen for the claim of the
American imperialists that the Y.
S. S. R. is pursuing a very pro-
nounced policy of expansion. The
fact, however, is that the US.S.R.
continues to sit within her own
borders, but can the same be said
for the U. S. as presently govern
ed? Having to fight for its own
survival twice within one gener-
alton, it is a wonder it has been
able to accomplish so much in
raising the standard of living in
all the backward parts Of such an
immense territory. 1t is very
doubtful if history can show any
nation that has survived such des-
truction as the U.SSR. has been
subjected to in the two world wars.
Having come to this country IN
1893, 1 know that the only pros
perity this country has enjoyed
came as a consequence of the
three wars it has had during that
time. This is quite contrast to
battle-scarred Europe which had
its countries and a great part Of
its peoples destroyed in the two
world wars.
For a factual comparison, it
must never be forgotten that a
capitalist economy needs war to
keep going, while a socialist econ
omy needs a peaceful world. In
other words, one thrives on war,
while to the other, war is the
greatest curse imaginable. Even
fairly young people can remember
the last major depression and that
in spite of all Roosevelt could do,
there were still about nine million
people unemployed until the prep
aration for World War II started.
AS for expansion, the U. S. as
governed at present, thinks it has
more to say in both Europe and
Asia than by far the largest ma
tons in those parts. The U. S.
would certainly not tolerate a ma
jor nation like Russia or China to
have a multitude of air bases all
around the u S. on this continent

complete without the auditorium
wing. Concerts, conventions, and
traditional festivities will go else
where. This means a loss of pa
