These villains do not fly the Jolly Roger, though they should do so. As they approach they pretend to be purchasers, but after they haye boarded a schooner, in what might be called the Fleet of Alle- viation, they draw large impatient pistols of the automatic strain and proceed to help themselves. If they only took samples of Bahama wares for immediate consumption it would ve bad, but not so bad. THey take and take and take, by the case, instead of by the bottle, till their boats are loaded deep.

These pirates, indeed, may have their troubles later with minions of the law, and their loot may he taken away from them, but there is no satis-| faction in that for the victims of their depreda-| tions. At any rate there is no compensation in it,/ nothing to restore lost profits, for the gentlemen from the Bahamas all suffer from a phobia for policemen and courts and never appeals to them for aid. Thus does crime go unpunished, though the law pretends to have a remedy for every wrong! = —~9—_—_—— Gradually Coming Back. IHE YEAR now closing has been marked by sub- stantial betterment in the country’s general business situation. The fact that this program is a continuation of movements begun in the preced- ing year, followiag the drastic reaction which pro- duced widespread depression, has contributed to the increasing confidence with which the problems of readjustment have been met, On the other hand the continued increase in production and trade has been in some instances so rapid as to}; suggest that gaps in the underlying bases for sustained progress are being overlooked or ig- nored, with a consequent possibility that import- ant reversals may be encountered than seems to be generally expected. The improvement in business conditions has not been one-sided. A fullcv utilization of productive equipment and increas¢d output of commoditie to meet growing demands has been accompanied by betterment in the credit situation—a strengthened condition of the banks as a whole, though liquida- tion of loans and the accumulation of adequate re- serves. As is usual, however, in the early stages of the upward swing of the business cycle, indus- tries share unevenly in the benefits of reviving ac tivity. | 4 Trath in Fabric. PEAKING of the Freuch-Capper truth-in-fabric} bill now before congress, Dr. J. M. Wilson, of Converse county and one: of the best informed wool- growers of the country, has said: “The term ‘all-wool’ is a misleading one. There] is as much difference between wools as there is be-| tween wines. ‘Shoddy’ also is a misleading term.| By that term I mean that ‘shoddy’ does not mean| the same thing when used by the cloth manufact- urer and the public. “Shoddy hag come to mean something cheap, unfit for use through the manner in which the term! has been applied. To the wool grower and the cloth | mannfacturer it means something distinctly differ-! ent. Shoddy is w70l which has been used more than once, and there is as much difference in shoddy as there is in the various grades of wool. A fine grade wool which has been loo: woven into cloth and then torn apart before subjected to use is a much better grade of shoddy th the shoddy which started out as a lowe of yirgin wool, was woven ti into worn a long time and 2 grade cloth, * such t |'ng about a change in conditions.” (polities and indudstry. Through good pictures a J into yarn and cloth. “We do not object to the use of shoddy in making clothes. As a matter of fact, it 1s a gort thing that it is used. But we do ov)*:t te the misleading statements of unscrupulous manufacturers that lead the public to believe that it is getting new, virgin wool when it is told that a eloth is of ‘all wool’ Any manusacturer will tell you that all wool doesn’t mear, Ve-y much. } “The wool growers believe that the public is en titled to know when it ing shoddy and wh is buying virgin wool. Prices of wool have been ing of due to ¢ fact that manufacturers have been able to use very large percentages of shoddy or re-worked wool, and the public has not known the difference. If they did not do this, we believe that the present con-| ditions, which result in low prices to the wool grow er for his wool, would be bettered and at the same time the public would be benefited by a knowledge of what it is getting. The French-Capper bill, while is not perfect, will go a long way toward bring Pp. there has been no profit in the r sheep for wool, and this has been partially —_—————_o Disparity in Prices. CONTINUING obstacle to the profitable em ployment of all the country's productive equip ment is an imperfect adjustment of prices of farm prodacts to other prices. A year ago average prices of farm products, as measured by the Labor Bu reau index, were, relative to the 1913 levels, about j244 per cent below the average for all commodi ties included in the index. The net effect of sul sequent changes has been to reduce the spread of prices of farm products below the all-commodities age to about 8 per maladjustment of prices restricts the ability of the rural people to buy the products of the industries. Various measures intended to Lenefit the farm ers have been proposed. Believing that the irksome features of the farmers’ economic position have their origin to a considerable degree in the work ings of the established mechanism of credit, some students of the problem have suggested that it may be advisable to modify the administration of the Federal Reserve System. Among the plans which hare beex proposed to make credit available to the ffrmers on terms which will better serve their needs is one that tn eludes the extension of the Fe 1 Reserve redi count term on agricultural paper to nine months; and tke establishing of intermediary loaning ma- chinery in the form of Farm Loan banks to oper-| ate in conjunction with the Farm Land banks. | with a capitalization of $5,900,000 each, and with power to loan funds up to ten times the amount of such capital, and with power to issue debentures. | This plan contemplates the establishing of one such Farm Loan bank in each of the twelve Federal Reserve districts. Other friends of the farmers would force sweep-j ing reductions in freight rates, regardless of the already inadequate earnings of the railroads. But it should be borne in mind that the immediate in- terests of one element in the business community cannot be served at the expense of the rest without ultimately injuring all. Any essential disadvan- tages under which the American farmer may be op- erating, however, are remediable without resort to extreme measures. He will fare better as his mar- kets abroad, in Europe especially, revive; and at home he can benefit by improved marketing sys- tems. Possibilities of Motion Pictures. HER practically no limit-to the field of pos- sibilities of motion pictures. Aside from the purely amusement or recreational purposes in theaters, co:.‘emplate the uses of pictures for edu- cational advancement to audiences iu communities large or small. By education, is not meant formal education, but the larger interpretation of the word,, which would inelude pictures which would bring home a lesson and at the same time fill a recreational need. How one may spread sunshine in the lives of others might be made the basic theme of a picture fiiting the largen educational need. But the mot%on picture may be applied equally as well to formal education. There is scarcely any branch of for mal education that can not be visualized. You may run down the list of academic subjects —mathemat history, language, or what not— ane there is some picture that will visualize them all. There is also a use for the motion pictures in better attempt can be made to put over a candi: e than by use of the old and outworn platform und spellbinding methods. American products are being displayed effect- ively in South America by motion yictures. A rep- resentative of a large electric firm went to South America and sold an order amounting to many thousands of dollars through a small projecting apparatus he used. It showed visually what he could not have even sketched. Reasonable Punishment Gees ¥ is rich in raw materials and the price J of labor in that country is low. Having becti established in most people’s minds as the instiga- tor of the war, she should certainly be made to make good for the havoc she wrought.” But to think that she can pay in cash, in the brief period of years stipulated in the Versailles treaty, an amount of money equal te half of her national wealth is absurd. Therefore, it would not only be just, but economical to put a requirement upon her which she can meet. It would seem to be a repudiation of the spirit in which the war was fought if German territory were invaded as punishment for failure to pay something which she has not. On the other hand, building up of the devastated area by German workmanship and materials under allied direction would relieve the great mass of the peoples in these countries from being bled in taxes for this work, a share of which is certain to go for graft. If the war, was as we were told, one for “human- should we forget that the great mass of the erman people are human? Absolute world justice an not be meted out by partiality to any nation or discrimination against any other. If the govern- ment of Germany was wrong, punish it and be sure that it is sufficiently changed, so that a recurrence of the trouble is not likely. Require the German people to make good for the wrongs committed by them by order of their government. But do not let us allow a spirit of hatred to permeate our minds which all work toward a violation by force on our part of a people as innocent on the whole as Belgium was when she was invaded. it € Cockeyed Paternalists i UST as England is trying to get out of the mer- chandising bus*hess on the demonstrated fact that government business is done at a loss, an American congressman comes forward with a pro- posal to have the United States operate stores for its employes.

The answer !s yes. Women—end men, too—wiil ccax themselves into believing things about a dumb animal that are enough to make acquaintances despur of their sanity if it were not for the fact that the friends cut up just as queer- ly themselves nnd are therefore! numb against seeing anything wrong in anybody else. | You see it everywhere. Probably | there isn’t a man or woman !n Amer- ca who keeps a pet that does not credit that pet with a supply of| brains which, if it reatly had them, would give ‘t such a headache it would lie dows and die, The most learned people make the same mistake as easily as people who wouldn’t be expected to know any better anyway. We know a certain wise woman. She is so wise that she is an old maid. She js a teacher and lives in One room and she keeps a cat that she calls Oofypooty. Ootypoofy 1s a bouehead. bonehead even for a cat. He simply hasn't a glimmer on any subject whatsoever, Yet this woman—. She will be sitting in her room reading a book wh Oofypoofy jumps up on a chdir and .gazes out of the window. ‘There will be nothing out of the win- dow to gaze at exccpt the sky, and Oofypoofy would not have brains enough to gaze at it even if there were, But this woman cries: “Look at him! The cunnin’ rascal! He sees the snow is getting soft and he is longing for the spring.” Or aaother time Qofypoefy will be sifting out on the fire escape, anc will presently take a look Inside the room and utter a fatuous yawp. Now his mistress will peer back out at him and notice that it 1s raining and that Oofypoofy is getting tolerably damp. Weil, does {t occur to her that it has been raining for probably an hour and that her cat has thus estab- shed that he hasn't the brains to come in when tt rains? Or does she analyze the situation even further and say to herself that in fact the animal hasn't even the brains to ap- preciate when it is raining? Not on your life! She rushes to the window and grabs that sponge of a cat and brings {t in to put # mustard plaster on its chest. And when it has. gone to sleep in her bed and begins to look as thoug?: it would throw off the pneumonia germs after all, she whispers: “He is such a good boy Ha is ‘so selfsacrificing! Did you notice {t?—how he hate’ to d'sturb me when I had company. It does beat all. The Old Time Wristers. Yes, she does.
