It means business in the Middle Western states will be bad all winter. Farmers, meantime, are paying high prices for every- thing they buy. Factories in the East cannot long con- tinue to operate at high speed, filling freight cs with their products, when the purchasing power of the is at low ebb. There isn’t anything unusual or surprising in the de- cline in the price of wheat on the Chicago market, Wheat always hits the toboggan at harvest time, Farmers need money, and sell from the field. After most of the crop has been sold, prices usually rise. Speculators and middlemen get the benefit of the in- crease—not the farmer. It’s the same old game. played year after year.

He refers to the order of Federal Judge Wilkerson in Chicago making permanent the injunction against the striking railroad shopmen. «(This strike, by the way, was amicably settled in the case of the more reasonable railroads nearly [0 months ago, when they conceded the justice of the shopmen’s demands.) Daugherty’s action in asking for the injunction startled a great part of the country, including many of his own friends. It was regarded as unwarranted interference on behalf of the railroads in a dispute wherein, to say the least, the protest of the workers was founded on simple justice. But, says Daugherty, the law is now settled forever. The present attorney general is mistaken as to that, of course. It may be that the law is settled so long as the present forces control the appointment of federal judges in America. The history of the federal courts, including the supreme court,-reflects accurately from generation to generation the element in society that has the most power. Just now the courts are largely filled with justices whose prominence was obtained as railroad lawyers. Naturally years spent in the employment of the railroads has en- abled such judges to see the rights of the railroad own- ers with the greatest clarity. Who knows how long it wilf be before the tables are turned? The workers, exerting their political power in- telligently, may one day have a control of affairs equal to that possessed by the present dominant intere: That time may be soon. Recent elections point that way. When it comes, we may see the people’s lawyers on the federal bench. And won't the precedent set long ago of straining the meaning of the U. S. constitution to fit the needs of dominant interests provide a useful tool for these people’s lawyers after they reach the bench? No, Mr. Daugherty, the law may be settled for a while, but not forever. funny as the human race, A man escaped from the Atlanta, Ga., pen, but maybe they can catch one to take his place.

What It Is You Read Do you know that the active principle which makes it possible for you to read black letters on the white surface of your daily newspaper is simply soot? The scientists call it “deposited carbon.” The soot, or “carbon black,” with which printing inks are manufactured, is made by burning natural gas in lava-tipped busners with the air shut off enough so that there is incomplete combustion. This causes a yellow flame, and when it is directly against a cold steel surface the flame is made to “smoke” and this smoke deposits the soot, or carbon black. When a layer is thick enough, it is scraped off. Carbon black is made exclusively in the United States, Forty billion cubic feet of gas a year is consumed in its manufacture. Altho the industry started in West Vir- ginia, its center is now in Louisiana, There are also many soot factories in Wyoming, Oklahoma, Montana, and Ken- tucky. € on Sunday is you have a hard time getting | Trouble with sleeping 1a | hungry again for dinner.

Iodine assists the thyroid gland, which plays a big part in regulating mentality and physical vigor. x ghe bodily power and alertness of the Japanese are materially due to their large consumption of seafood. On the other hand, the Eskimos, who live largely on seafood, are virtually disease-proof, but as a race they are intellectual weaklings. ’ Hippopotamus at the Clncinnatt zoo swallowed a tennis ball and died as a result, thus showing that he was and was not the goat.

The carbon is soft and fluffy and most of it blows out with the exhaust. For this reason the Zerolene-lubricat- ed automobile may be driven from 25% to 50% farther with- out having the valves ground or the cylinders rebored. Zerolene forms less carbon than any other motor oil known to us. Insist on Zerolene — a better oil—even if it does cost less. Ask for it by name— Zerolene.
