Americanism: Anybody who salutes the flag is s loyal citizen. Automobiles are very successful but occasionally somebody baa to push one off. One trouble with the world is that it haa too many people thinking up resolutions. The farther an individual, is from any problem, the easier the solution appears. What with pulpit, press and radio, the American people have no scarcity of advice Transportation is a commodity that should sell at uniform price through out the country. It is interesting to hear parents, who rarely read a booh, crticise chil dren for not studying. Any country, governed by the bnajnem class, will have cheap labor and cheap raw materials. Undoubtedly most newspapers in the United States are honest but journalism has its black sheep. Spending money on battleships seems foolish to people who live one thousand miles from the coasts.

The question is raised by Dar ryl F.

After the Civil War, the heart and mind of America turned toward the winning of the West The symbol of this era was the building of the transcontinental railroads. But the advance of the "Iron Horse" brought sorrow as well as prosperity in its wake. For to many of the hardy pioneers of the West it meant the confiscation of their lands and property. A* a matter of fact, it was their part in the struggle of the Missouri farm people to save their homes from this unscrupulous seizure by the railroads, that turned young Jesse James and his equally notorious brother, Frank, to the life of out lawry which colored their whole era and endowed the decade which saw their most daring deeds with the title the "Serious Seventies." While our day is likely to look 1 * ?- ? i)ocnnwoWn upon . (I6S8C SB A IU14UVOO UVOjrvkHW?r the people of his own times regard ed him with a more ? indulgent eye. Displaying a remarkable amount of tact for that rough-and-ready era, the mountaineers in the Missouri Ozarks where he flourished were wont to dignify his career by terming it "horse and pistol work." Perhaps the best evidence of their attitude is contained in the epitaph on the monument erected over his grave, the unveiling, of which forma a scene in this Darryi P. Zanuck pro duction. It read: In loving remembrance JESSE W. JAMES died April 3, 1882 aged 34 years, 8 months, 28 days murdered by a traitor and coward whose, name is not worthy 1 to appear here. The anonymous reference is, of course, to the treacherous Bob Foard, a member of Jesse James' own band, who betrayed the bandit to the law and shot him down in cold blood to collect the price upon his head.

The De partment of Justice today began a nation-wide investigation of the com mercial fertiliser industry and an nounced that "any illegal combina tion discovered" will be dissolved. The department said that one of the objectives of the inquiry will be to eliminate dangers to the national defense. It pointed, out that nitrate of soda, an essentia! ingredient of common fertiliser, is a strategic war material. Tor many years,", it said, "there have been continuous complaints of monopolistic practices in commer cial fertilizer from farm cooperatives, farm organizations, mixers, dealers and unorganized farm groups. Theee complaints have come from sources 8oo reliable that they, cannot be ig nored." - The department asserted that uni form prices in the industry "have been maintained with such uniformity as to constitute corroboration of those complaints and to compel this investigation." It added that "it is difficult to believe that such prices are the result of a series of coinci dences." ' ! ?
