The plantations will be planted, and they should be en- couraged in every possible way. Out of every 100 pounds of rubber produced in the whole world, 80 pounds are used by Americ: We are flirting with fate when we leave rubber growing to other nations almost entirely. If our supply of rubber were shut of by military or trade wars, autos wouldn’t be the only things that’d have to be shelved. Just look about you now, at the things made of rubber It’s a dangerous semi-monpooly to be in the hands of other nations. , MILLIONAIRE You can be a millionaire for a day. In the most exclusive district of Boston, a millionaire’s home has been purchased by Alexander Bannwart, who has an entirely new scheme for making moni . The mansion—including all its lavish furnishings, butlers, maids and cther servants — is for rent by the day or even by the hour. The rental for an afternoon of bridge is $50. This fellow Bannwart is evidently a shrewd psychologist. Human nature is on his side. He is first in a field that will How easy it is to make money—if you have a new idea. BROADWAY The lure of Broadway is interfering with factories at the outskirts of New York City.. Workers want jobs near the Gay White Way. Some are reported to have quit the fac- _Aories because they got bored during lunch hour. A different “sort of job near Broadway may pay less, but it’s closer to excitement and gayety. This is human nature, and it is the thing that is prevent- ing a genera! cxodus of factories and mills from large cities ty smali towns. What percentage, of the population—em- pioyers ag well as employed— is' more intent on a good time thar old-fashioned werk WAGES England is working more, under the labor government. She has about a million unemployed. But this is a quarter million fewer than at the beginning of the year. What's equally important to the English dinner-pail car- rier is that the cost of living over there is only 70 per cent higher than before the war. In our country, living costs are more than twice as high as in 1914, despite lower estimates by corporation statisticians and: others. Wages, by the way, in the basic English industries rise or fall as the cost of living goes up and down. Organized labor takes care of that, has it written into its agreements with employers. DANCER Pavlow’s salary for dancing is $10,000 a week, it’s dis- closed in a lawsuit. She’s overtaking the world’s highest paid dancer — Mei Ran-Tan, the Chinaman. He gets $2500 a night —and in a country where unskilled labor is paid about 18 cents a day. Mei Ran-Tan is only 24. He dances masquerading as a woman. Spurns all offers to show in America. Critics claim he.is the’ finest dancer in history. We'd always credited Chinese with being very wise. But it seems they too, pay y bigher for educated feet than educated heads. é : MEAT Vegetarians have a novel new argument in this: The crops of seven-tenths of the -tilled land of American farmers | are fed to animals. Meat-eating is an expensive habit. The argument on the other side is that meat is concentrated veg- catables. Every one, however, should eat less meat in summer. It’s a cold weather food. In warm weather nature intends us - to eat vegetables, particularly leafy ones. That’s why she grows. them in summer instead of winter. 2 YOU Ever crave to buy a patch of ground in the country and become more or less independent by growing your own food? © "How much land would you need? That’d depend on what you grew. But American farmers now are tilling about three and a quarter acres of land for every man, woman and child of the population. ! The farmer with many acres can figure how many people .+.he’s supporting.

A GREAT FISH AND GAME PRESERVE Among the bills that passed con | gress just prior to its adjournment was a bill creating the Mississippi Fish and Game Refuge. This meas- ure will create a fish and game pre- | serve, nearl 0 miles in length from Wabasha, Minn., to Rock Is- land, Ml The purpose of the bill is to pre- vent the drainage on both sides of the river of much ampy land, which is held to be the greatest fish breeding grounds in the United Mtates. Drainage projects which } would be uncertain for crops and would destroy the breeding of fish and wild fowl, will not be permittea | under the terms of the bill, The | area included in this strip of river and swamp land is about 343,000 acres. It is especially adapted for | warm water fish, like Fishing except for rough fish, and hunting | will be prohibited on this preserve which will become one of the great fish and game refuge regions in the United States, Sportmens organiza- tions throughout the country ap- proved of the measure, which pro- vides for the acquisition by the fed- eral government of the tract requir- ed.—Jamestown Alert. WHY A TIME LIMIT? During the closing days of Con- gress, the House Committee on In- sular Affairs appreved a bill provid- ing for a larger autonomy for the Filippino people. In this bill it was also provided that at the end of 30 years the Filipinos should have the opportunity of determining by a plebiscite whether they would remain a part of this Country or set up an independent government, but the Committee amended this provision so that it would .grant absolute inde- pendence to the Philippines after 20 years, if the Filipinos desired inde- pendence at that time. Why a time limit? If the American people had said, when they first acquired the Philip- pines, that in 20 years they would grant independence they would have been mistaken in their opinion of the Filipinos being fully prepared to govern themselves. Recent reports of Americans who have investigated the Philippine situation, shows that the Filipinos are not prepared today for absolute independence. Instead of fixing a time for inde- pendence it would be far better for this country to grant the Filipinos every reasonable leeway in the opera- tion of their government, but to withhold independeace until there is a very evident united feeling among the Filipinos themselves in favor of independence, and until they have fully demonstrated their ability to govern themselves, That time may come earlier than expected and still again it may be delayed indefinitely. With a fair beginning already made and with the government set up over them by the United States, the development may, however, be more rapid than it has been in the past. But why gromise something on a fixed date unless we are ce n that it can be carried out? Judging from the past, it would be better to grant f ace as they merit it, and r e the ision régarding independence un- til such time as we are reasonably sure that a stable government will continue after our withdrawal from the islands.—Fargo Forum. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON | Nancy and Nick and Johnny Jump Up, the fairy, held tightly to the stork’s long sharp beak while he carried them away from the tulip field over a lovely country twith grass so green it looked like paint in a picture. And the sky above was so blue and the clouds so big and white and fluffy, they, too, looked like paint. “Holland looks like a_ picture, doesn’t it!” remarked Nancy, look- ing down as they sailed through the air high above the tree tops “Yes,” answered the stork. “When I leave my other home in Africa to fly north for the summer, you can’t blame me for picking out such a lovely country as Holland. And the people are so kind, too! They al- ways watch for our coming and never throw stones at us, the chil- dren don’t.” “Oh, look!” cried Nick. “What are those big things with wheels on top?” “Those stork. “And what are all those creeks for?” asked Nancy, pointing down- ward. “They're ‘so straight they look ~ as though they had been drawn with a ruler, and they cross each other like the marks on a checkerboard.” “Those are canals,” explained the stork. “Holland is low and very watery. The people dig canals to let the water run away, then their fields are dry enough to farm,” “I see a lot of cows,” said Nick next: “There seem fo be cows everywhere.” “Of course,” answered the stork. “Cows give milk and milk makes cheese. The people of Holland make enough cheese to feed the whole world almost—and still have enough left over for the mice. Those houses yonder are dairies where they make the cheese.” “Say,” said Johnny Jump Up ad- miringly, “you know a lot don't you, Mister Stork? Why, you are better than ‘a geography book.” “Seeing the world is always bet- ter than. studying a book,” said the stork wisely, “and I am a much- traveled person:” + are wind-mills,” said the The Philippines want independenée so they can have oil scandals and’ things all their own.

A high wall ran along the shore as far as they could see. “We're at the seashore, and that's a dyke,” said the stork. “The sea came up and spoiled the land some- times and the people couldn’t make things grow. So they built. this dyke many years ago to keep the sea out. You'll never see another one anywhere just like it. But we must go. The titmouse will be wait- home.” \ And, sure enough, there he was. “Your tickets said ‘there and back,’” he remarked, “so we must be re- turning to the magic garden.” “Goodby,” they said to the stork, hopping, all three of them, on the plump little bird’s back. Away ‘they flew over the o€ean toward the sunset, leaving Holland and the stork far behind.

AN OLD, OLD TUNE Note — The following poem was written by James W. Foley and printed in the Pasadena Evening Post, after Mr. Foley's return to Cali- fornia from Bismarck, where he attended the Rotary conference in April. I am back from old Dakota, from her prairies vast and wide, Back from old Dakota, where I met and laughed and cried With friends of mine in olden days, when all of us were young, When dreams. were sweet and life was glad and boyhood songs were sung; Back from old Dakota, where they greeted me with snow, Snow in flowery April, when the blossoms ought to blow. And I heard in early’ morning, as I’ve often heard of yore, The scraping of the shovel on the coal bin floor. It was all so familiar, as I heard it at the dawn, Way down there in the basement, where they piled the fuel on. For years I had not heard it, but I ‘knew it,at’a sound. And there without my window was the white snow on the ground. It brought me back my boyhood and my s¢hoo! days and the bin ‘That all through the winter days and nights we-kept the fuel int And when by early morning light, and often tinies before, I scraped that old coal shovel on the coal bin floor. Like some old bit of music that I had not heard ‘for long it brought me many a dream of old and many a boyhood song. And many a recollection sweet, and many a smile and tear, The scraping of that shovel as it fell upon my ear. It brought me frosty Christmases and wild fowl on the wing. And feathery flakes that filled the air and crocuses in spring. And I was furred and mittened on the way to school once more With the scraping of that shovel on the coal bin floor. qa—A Day With the Candidates. “All” Still Must Report to “Ma” By NEA Service Albany, N. Y., June 12—Governor “Al” Smith likes to walk to work. It is the one form of recreation he is sure of getting these days.

Among the} THURSDAY, JUNE 12,1924 | AN OLD MAN’S DARLING By Albert Apple The funniest thing in history is how a’ pretty woman made a fool of Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher, in his old age. His job was tutor and guardian of Alexander the Great, who “conquered the world” and died when. he was 42. Lovely woman was Alexander’s weakness. | He has paused in his career to worship at the shrine of an adventuress. Chided by Aristotle, Alexander mockingly said: “Sighing, alone he cried, as inly moved: ‘Alas! These man, me seems, have never loved.’ ” The philosopher won out, however, Alexander jilted his sweetheart. lover had abandoned her. traps. Details are somewhat lacking as to what followed. it wound up with Aristotle at flung to the four winds. . She. managed to get to him, learned why: her Burning.for revenge, she set her But the beauty’s feet, his wisdom Her answer was that, before she would become the oltl man’s darling, he must gratify her craving to mount and ride the back of the wisest man in the world. i Alexander, watching, soon saw fer strap a saddle on Arisg totle’s back, fasten reins to him, mount and ride about the imperial gardens, Aristotle on‘all fours as he lumbered along with his precious burden. When a white- haired philosopher made such a fool of himself, one doesn’t wonder at the old boys of our generation whose affections and fancies get them on page one of the newspapers. Aristotle, when he realized how he had been duped, ad- mitted that youthful Alexander was crazy like a fox when he pursued feminine beauty. “Love is master of mankind,” agreed the aged man of wisdom.” LETTER FROM PAULA PERIER TO JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT MON AMI: It is a long time since you have seen those French words at the top of a letter, is it not? Or is it that having been used to seeing them very often in the long ago you have been lonesome for them, and so you have gotten another little French girl to’ write you long letters filled with love. But no, I am sure she is not French, for the reason I am writing to you, the reason I know she is not from my land is that a friend of mine who wrote me the other day to tell me he had seen you very often dining with a beautiful, viva- cious woman with hair of vivid red. French women, you. know, rarely have red hair. Indeed, my friend said that she looked .more like an Irish woman, that she had the Celtic vivacity of one. Now you will be laughing at me, I know, but mon ami Jacque, I am writing to ask you not to do it. Don’t make. that, beautiful. wife of yours unhappy. Why, don’t ‘you know, haven't you found out yet, that she is the loveliest woman either you or I have ever known? Dontt make ther unhappy. And please don’t write me that you could not make her unhappy because you are so fond,-of her,:because once upon a time you told,me that you were fonder of me than of any wo- man in the world, and because of you, soon after I was the unhappiest woman in all the world. Jacque, do you know what that wife or yours did She turned this whole world oyer for me from sod- den gray into soft gold. Although she asked of me the greatest sacri- fice I was capable of giving, I. did boy, my own boy, the boy for whom I not only went through hell, that hell that comes to all women when they give birth to a life, but fod whom I starved and for whom my’ soul travailed. When I came: back east last spring I-had made up my mind that in some way I should have that child back. I knew I had no legal right to him, but I fully expected that rather than have a scandal you_ would give him to me. If it had not” been for your wife, Jacque, I would have done this, but she - was so sweet to me, while all the: while ig- noring the fact which she knew perfectly well that I was the baby’s mother, she gave me a chance to be alone with him, to hold his:.face to my breast, to let his little face ‘snug- gle down in my neck. She made all those cattish women in the town where you-and I had been talhed over so unkindly, be nice to me. For the first time I nkew what it meant to have.a woman treat me as she herself would like, to be treated; for women, my dear Jacque, have always either envied. or hated me; and in either case~ they have made me suffer for their unpleas- urable emotions. So-I:gave my boy to her, because I knew it would hurt her if I took him away. Jacque, you asked of -me the greatest sacrifice a weman can make for a man, and in turn I am asking you to make a little sacrifice not only for a woman who once loved you, but for the woman who loves: you better than ‘her life at Present—I saw it in your wife's eyes. Don't sadden her life, Jacque. It’s the only favor that will eber be asked by PAULA.

Land Good Investment Minot, N. Dy June 12—North- western North Dakota looks good to Albert Dollenmayer, veteran Minne- polis newspaper and . advertising man, who spent a short time in the city recently enroute home after in- inspecting two farms located near Bowbells, which he purchased this spring. Mr. Dollenmayer is well ac- quainted with conditions in North Dakota. Back in 1893 he covered a legislative session at Bismarck where he came in contact with many of the state’s leadets. In ‘Minot ‘he -gave the assurance that there was no better investment than North Dakota land. He was delighted with the drenching rain and found conditions north of Mi- hot looking exceptionally fine.
