The committee says its program is admirably adapted; to the republic’s modest naval necessities |nd that destroyers and submarines should form the backbone of Mexico’s de fense against an invasion frpm the THE KINDNESS OF “MARSHY” (By Wickes Wamboldt) She was the kindest person I evei knew. And one of the most unique personalities. She was a widow. Het husband had left her a dairy and a truck farm which she ran in an aw parently haphazard fashion and yet with success . And she was a charming woman— a sparkling conversationalist. She could have shown in aiiy society. Yet, one day when her men were chasing a huge pig, I sat* her gran it by a hind leg as it dashed by and hang on pluckily while the animat dragged her a couple ef yards thru mud and water. She always had a bunch of human derelicts around her who thru their disabilities could not ge'. jobs else where. 'lney loved her devotedly and without except in r.tled lev “Marshy.” Dogs and cats flooded tha place because she never would nave one killed or disposed of. One intelligent looking canine hobbled around on 3 feet. One fore-leg which had been chewed by an alligator dangled help lessy and twisted. The neighbors urged “Marshy” to have the dog shot, but no indeed. Sho nursed it back to health and thought more of this crippled creature than any ani mal on the place. In her great barnyard wag an open shed. A big white mule hung there in a canvas sling that was fastened to the rafters above. The animal’s legs were paralyzed. There he hung helpless but happy, feeding on the fat of the land, until he died of old age. Kill that mule? No, indeed. He had broken down in her service and she would take care of hqn. “Marshy” wa svery in once, but not too ill to remember that a 1 c was due to come off the nest with a fioclc of chickens. She inquired about the case from those nursing her. They informed her that the faithless mother had deserted the nest just as the little chicks were about to hatch. Immediately she ordered that the eggs be brought to her. She took them into bed, kept them warm against her own body and hatched out every blessed chick! Her business success wpg a con stant misery to the wise ones. She conducted her affairs in a remark ably slip-shod way, in direct opposi tion to all the laws of business suc cess and efficiency. She trusted her human derelicts with all she had and they robbed her systematically. An yet she prospered. The ony solution is that her great ness of soul, her fineness of char acter drew to her the good things of life faster than she could lose them or they could be taken from her. GREAT GROWING INDUSTRY Next to the development of eiec tricity, production of fuel and illumi nating gas is becoming a great na tional industry. . Consuming crude oil and coal in large quantities as raw material, it produces many valuable by-products. There are coke, briquetts, coal tar and scores of chemical materials and commodities. And what do you think of burning gas to make ice wfthout a motor? The gerat increase in gas ' con M-inytion does not include natural gas, carbide or gasoline, but just manufactured gas.

EDITORIAL WASHINGTON COMMENT An insignificant news item which attracted) no attention, tells the tale of schools in a country in a Northern State, closed because of the need of child labor in the pota to fields. Another equally insignificant news item tells of a county which re jeeted a plan for a bond issue, the proceeds of which were to improve county roads. Taken together the two items are far from insignificant. Ct our near ly three million miles of roads, barely ten per cent are improved. The other ninety per cent are bad at the best and impossible in the winter. Hauling over them is pre carious, expensive, a slo process. Crops must be marketed; to sell crops they must be moved; The more expensive the moving the leg", '.b profit; the less the pvofi , money for public improvement, tim less for hire of farm labor, the more I the necessity to use that labor wh'ch| is not hired, the children. There js a very intimate connec tion between good roads everywhere and education. Indeed there is hardly a subject, an industry, a plan, an ac tivity into which roads do not enter somewhere. But rural education i bound up in good roads, where road are good, children can get. to school Where rads are good, farmers ar prosperous and children have time to go to school, and the schools to which they go are good schools. Il literacy is found where roads ar< poor. Not all poor roads ru thru il literate sections, of course but all literate sections of the Nation are supplied only with poor roads! Where the roads are good, the schools good, the farmers prosperous, schools do not close to harvest a potato crop, or any other crop! When you vote on good road question, remember the children! -o— THE FARMER TAKES A SECOND LOOK Slowly but surely the American farmer is turning away from the idea that his economic emancipation lies in legislation. lie has taken -a second look and somewhat more con siderate view of the situation, wit the result that he is beginning to t doubt that law fixing- an upset price for a bushel of wheat or ;. pound of butter might possibly res ult i neven greater disaster so Ion. as the route from producer to cu tomer is controlled or mbnpoiized. While the agricultural industry may be the biggest business of th; nalio 1, it is nevertheless a fact tha so-called “big business” has solved the problem and set an example in modern management that practical! controls the biggest business be cause it controls the distribution. I may also be said in this connection that trades unions have adopted th same methods. Just as there have been allowed to grow up and nourish those monop olies which hare usurped, at least in some degree, the political power which has more than theoretically been reserved to the people of th United States so theie have been se diciously festered and nurture;: those industrial monopolies, large an small, which have stifled and madi impractiea that compete industria co-operation which is an American birthright. But t js not vans to seek to reclaim that which has ''ten carelessly lost. It is reasonable l- believe, it it is th. desire of the iun...;s, for instance to estabish a direct route from then granaries and dalsie ■■ to the house holds of the con.iv.uers, that they can do this, and that the result will b. more beneficial to al Concerned tha< tlfe enactment of any aw. That ma: be easily circumvented or rendered burdensome. The law of supply and . demand has come to largely depenr on co-operative control, one way o: , another and the farmer must pla . the game or continue to lose out The Charcoal club of Baltimore has been examining hundreds oi girls for models for the opening o. tlia men’s evening ckv-s next month They find 99 out of every 100 girl with red hair are bovlcgged, and 9' of every hundred bru ’.ett >s arf Mcnock kneed.
