XXX AUGUST 31, 1922 No. 17 g THE HEN CALLS FOR HELP Finally the food profiteers have locked horns with a real opposition. They face the inexorable persistency of the great American hen and - panic reigns. Borne years ago the American hen gave warning that she might provel a dangerous enemy and bring about fair prices, but the shrewd profiteers countered, and when the hen laid in sufficient volume to feed the people the cold storage warehouse was conceived. Instead of being distributed at prices governed by the law of supply and demand, eggs were stored, kept from the people, and doled Out at at uniformly high prices. It appears, however, that the great American hen has been thinking. a The result is she has again come to the front with a production so A bewildering that the cold storage plants cannot take care of it. p1 True, in spite of this, eggs in New York are selling from 80 to 75 a cents a dozen. But the bump is at hand. If the hen gets a little support from the public and a little tiny egg re strike be started, the backbone of the price extortion will be broken. lo It is all very well to store eggs. but when it comes to erecting more at and more great steel and concrete structures equipped with the expensive Si freezing plants to take care of them, then it may be thought better to sell M the present stock at a fair price. There are now 303.000.000 dozen eggs in storage-more than three dozen for every person in the United States. And the great American hen is still on the Job. ad in WORLD CRYING FOR A LABOR MOSES. ne The withdrawal of 600,000 workers from the coal mines of America atn even for a week means that the public must pay the bill. The operators, an of course, profess great concern, but as a fact they are flipping a coin in the game of "Heads I Win, Tails You Lose." The public may suffer from cold it the shortage be excessive, but operators will have coal to heat their sumptuous offices and their luxurious homes. If the shortage be St less acute, then the people will pay in tilted prices, and the operators will reap the reward that way. As for the men, they will continue to ist suffer from lack of work and it will take time-for them to get back to the their established status even though they do win some things in their ab favor. The issues of the strike do not appear to be clearly defined. There are always two sides to a story. The pitiable condition is the purility of 1 the government in its confessed failure to cope with the situation. The she railroad strike is in the same muddle. an Eventually the strikes must be settled and the men go back to work, and the trouble must be settled by agreement reached between the con tending forces. It is a sad reflection on the intelligence of the American of people that it is always necessary to go through the fire and beat the public Into suffering before understanding can be established. The con dition is deplorable. What is the matter when this nation leads the world in discovery and Invention yet lags so far behind it in an effort to solve the problem of capital and labor. Perhaps the secret lies in the fact that the intellectual giants for the most part Hlie on the side of the capitalists. If they are not capitalists themselves, then they are controlled by the caltalists. This problem and the problem of food distribution are the two great difficulties that seem to confound humanity.

There are over 60 varieties of the banana, with as great, or greater, va riations in character as to the differ eat kinds of apples. Hawaii is said to have something over 40 distinct va rlieties of the fruit, most of which have been introduced by the whites. Some jof these are extremely delicious ln flavor, while other kinds are used, if at all, only when cooked in various ways. There is scarcely a city house lot or country homestead which does not have a clump or two of bananas, which grow with practically no care, new plants or suckers shooting up to replace the ones which have fruited and been removed. Death and Birth. What a ridiculous thing it is to trouble and affect ourselves about taking the only step that is to de liver us from all misery and trouble. As our birth brought us the birth of all things, so in our death is the death of all things Included. And, there fore, to lament and take on that we shall not be alive a hundred years hence is the same folly as to be sorry we were not alive a hundred years ago. Death Is the beginning of another te.--Montalgne. Knows Not Happlness. Some persons I know estimate hap piness by fine houses, gardens and parlors-others by pictures, horses, money and various things wholly re mote from their own species; but when I wish to ascertain the real fe licity of any rational man, I always inquire whom he has to love. If I find he has nobody, or does not love those he has, even in the midst of all his profession of finery and grandeur, I pronounce him a being in deep ad versity.-Mrs. Inehbald. Founder of Yale College Held Auction. One of the oldest methods of trans acting business is the auction sale which, according to the early writers, was known among the Romans, and is specifically mentioned by Petronlus Arbiter In 66 A. D. The first auction sale in England took place about 1700 and was conducted by Ell Yale, the founder of Yale college, who thus dis posed of goods he had brought home from the East Indles. Such sales were first taxed In England in 1779. TEST OF AN INTERVIEW "Did I report your remarks correet ly?" asked the interviewer. "Yes," replied Senator Sorghum.

Northern Lights. r- The fact has long been recognlzed that the splendid phenomena of the Northern lights, or aurora borealls, are due to electric action p)roduc'ing lumi nosity in the upper regionls of the at a- nmosphere, perhaps 75 miles or more re above thy earth, where the density of II, the air is exceedingly slight. Biut the precise manner in which the electric 1. energy acts in such a case remains to e. be explained. "Poor Richard." "Poor Richard," or "Richard Saun ders," was the pen name assumed by Benjamin Franklin (17101-17t10), In a " series of almanacs ,published from 1732 to 1737. These almanacs con tained wise maxims and precepts on temperance, economy, cleanliness, per- I severance and other homely virtues, and to several of the maxims were S added the words: "As Poor Richard Ssays." .. . . . . . . . . . .
