The sluil-hund brigade for the sen. son of 1920 l now a matler of hMory, and many an office seeker has ie:trned not to put his trust in the glad-hand. The candidulp for office who counts liis strength by the number of triad httiuls he Rets during a campaign is a holding orders usually placed by this time, for factory output. If the price of berries and small fruits declines, the growers! will only have themselves to blame for they had the opportunity j to market at a most profitable figure. However there will be a! fair demand and good prices, if the get-rich-quick opportunity isj vamsning as me era 01 nignesr, prices recedes, , THE BLAME FOR HIGH SUGAR An anonymous letter asks "why President Wilson refused to let the Cuban crop of sugar come to the United Sattes at 6 cents a pound." The query is the result, no doubt, of persistent propa ganda designed to lead people to blame the president for the high price of sugar, as he is blamed for almost everything else, quoting the Omaha World-Herald: "Perhaps the plain facts may be interesting. It is true that good .u-ai like the andcr who fu:ureBin 198 the government bought the Cuban sugar crop through out the catch of has. he's going to , , . , ... . . K. .,. mc nugai uuaiu aim, dj leguutujlg anu controlling tne aiSiri- bution, was able to keep the price within reasonable limits, though sugar was scarce. In 1919 the government was offered the same chance, but failed to take advantage of it. The result was that a good deal of the Cuban sugar has been sold abroad, where the demand is keen, the domestic distribution has been poorly regulated, and sugar prices have soared to an exorbitant figure. - ... ' - - "Why did not the government do in 1919 as it did in 1918? "The answer is simple Because, as Attorney General Palmer told the senate committee a few days ago, congress had failed to enact legislation, requested by the president, which would have made it feasible to buy the 1919 Cuban sugar crop. . "When the offer of the Cuban crop came the sugar board was to go out of existence December 31. If the board had bought the crop, and its life was not extended, there would be no organization to handle and distribute the sugar, which was not due for delivery till spring. We quote from the Duluth Herald: " 'The president had asked congress to extend the life of the" sugar board. If congress had acted it would have been pos sible noto only to buy the Cuban crop but to supervise its distribu tion. But congress had not acted and showed no signs of an in tention to act. There was an organization to buy the crop, but unless congress acted there would be none to distribute it. It was useless for the government to bliy the crop unless it could also distribute it. " 'The president did not act because he could not act until congress made provision for continuing the sugar board at least long enough to distribute' the Cuban crop if it was bought. While me presiueni waitea ior congress to act, and while congress make hy the number of lilly pailn In night. C. J. ilartman, Kcolts .MillH tanner, said he was of that sort v. ho wnukl try anything ouce, and lie was many jears auu persuaded to run tut Ihe legislature. "I found only one man." he Fiiitl, "who told me tile truth, and he said he wouldn't vote for me." Sometimes it taken n Ions while for men of a truntin and buoyant temper ament to learn that there isn't an available black bass tinder every 111 y pad or a friendly vote behind every glad hand. However, It is bad policy to K't sour itiid pet to thinking Hint there Is t balm in (iileud anil no such thing as diwinteiented loyalty In glad hands.

JaS' per-Jay, to -come to the bluff "to en-'time you'll have to think, his solemn M nat appeared to Timothy Turtle" to be a good bit of advice. And yet he still seemed uneasy. There's just one thing that troubles me," he confessed- "After Tve jumped from the rock I mtght find that I couldn't By. And I'd get a bad fall." "But jou'd land in the water. Mr.. Crow reminded him. "And that would 1 be much better than falling on the J land. ... I don't need to tell you." he ! added, "that water is soft. And you're i a fine swimmer." I So Timothy Turtle yielded. And ; thereupon he bagan to drag himself up the steep bluff.. It seemed to Mr. Crow that he had never known anybody to walk so slow. But then, of course, he was in a hurry to see the fun. And It couldn t really the big rock. Jasper Jay had given promise.. i begin until Mr. Turtle should reach "And don't, let him hear you, eith- the hig an(j take the leap that er," Mr. Crow had said. Ana jasper t Mn crow had suggested to him. had agreed to that, too, although he: jagper Jay and the rowdies he had id that it might be a hard thing to do. Well, Timothy Turtle crawled out up on the bank and took a long look at ths high bluff above him, from which the great rock hung over the water of the creek. "I believe he said to old Mr. Crow "I believe I'd better wait till tomorrow before I try to fly. I've just had a long swim, you know. And I want to feel fresh when I take my first lesson." "Nonsense:" Mr. Crow exclaimed. "Everything's all right. You're not too tired, are you, to climb to the top of the bluff?" "No." Timothy Turtle admitted. "Then you've no reason for wait ing." ."Coming down will be much easier than going up," Mr. Ci'Ow,assured .him. "I dare say that's true," Timothy remarked. "But I don't quite like to think about this business of flying." "Then you certainly ought not to wait any longer." Mr. Crow replied. "For the longer you wait ine moie tained no particular thought of me. I wonder if I am foolish and unrea sonable to expect that when John even sends me "a telegram he would put the one word "love" in at the end. In sudden thought I counted the words In his night letter and found that he had just fifty. "He had not room for the wrod "love," I said to myself, a little bitter ly." Slowly I took out the little poem and laid It beside the telegram on the table. One man was fighting for my material success, fighting for money that might be mine, and the other had sent me a graceful little tribute In which he voiced his longing Into Words: Ah, but Love, were this thought certain, Could my sacred dreams come true All eternity I would give for JuBt one moment filled with you. I smiled to myself as I thought that probably almost every other woman in the world would put the stanza beside the telegram and in weighing the two would find that the, poetry outweigh ed the business telegram a thousand starved heart a chance, I would care more for him than anybody or any thing in all this world. uMili-nrl t ii. -j. i . ,, , o-v-'it0 one- Ana yet It jonn wouta let me waited to play politics with vital interests, the chance to buy the'iove him. ithe would just give my uuuu uup went, u,y. ine oner was witnarawn, and sugar profi teering started with the Cuban growers and continued down the line, with the present situation the melancholy result. , ' '"Perhaps the president should have acted boldly and' bought the crop anyway, taking chances on congress.
