Declaration of Independence, 1923 When in the course of human events. it becomes economical and healthful to dissolve the foolish prejudices which have bound us to certain matters of taste, and to gain among the P(fiweu of (;“i: earth credit 'x;« telligent and inq t a decent r. Ior the opinions of mankind requires t we should declare the causes which impel the dissolution. We hold these truths to be self- evident: that all men are born with some inbred tastes that are sive and not entirelyhealth- ful; that among these tastes are tastes that lack the necessary Energy to carry us on in our pursuit of Happiness. We, therefore, do, in the name of Common Sense, declare that we are, and of Right ought to be Free of at least the Prejudice that has kept us from using The Energy Spread, the Eco- nomical Spread, the Palatable Spread, the Digestible Spread for Bread.

W. Morse aud other officlals of the company and was told by Morse that he would like to the vouchers approved before tirement of Chief Counsel Coon Fleet Corporation, because the did not know what treatment they receive at the hands of Cooney's suc- cessor. The conversation took place April 10, 1919. Mr. O'Hare sald Morse even suggested that additional help be se- sured on the vouchers. The witness advised him that as O'Hare had to approve each voucher personally no good would come from additional help. He also declared it would be impossible to approve all befors Mr. Coonley left. Assistant Attorney General Allison presented to the witness a number of the rejected vouchers, with the letters explaining the reasons for not approving them.

The transcript showed that there was one clash after another between auditors of the fleet corporation and the Virginia company representatives as to the amount of money the Morses had put into their plant.

From the Adventure Magaxine. In the Ycst Indies the women carry enormous .oads of bananas, oranges, yams and brown sugar, climbing mountain roads at a steady gait of four miles an hour. These women count a forty-mile walk a mere con- stitutional. They seem to love their tramp, and gossip along the road with as much enjoyment as many another woman finds in her Saturday night market chat. South American coffee and cotton planters say the women and children work better than men, though their labor is rewarded with a lower wage. { | Women barter in fruit, vegetables and dress goods as “desk traders” on the steamships which ply between West Indian islands. In Grenada they act as blacksmiths, shepherds, carpenters and carriers.
