Loganberry Laughs By Robert Qulllcx). i A leader i.s usually exposed before he is deposed. The most annoying thing about a standpatter is his patter. Mr. Harding plays croquet, and they say he plays a wicket game. A budding contractor can't prune costs unless he stops grafting. John Bull is learning that reprisals are without honor in one's own country. One of Mr. Harding's first tasks will be the selection of Ambassadors. It is announced that the waist line will be lower this winter. Very well but how can one distinguish between the waist line and the skirt hem '! The Canadian who had four wives probably spoke of the holy bonds of matrimony. The only man who hasn't time to enjoy a feeling of im portance is the important man. The rains in Flanders were annoying, but they were not fo menacing as the Gaels of Erin. ! msmjm rov a dtui in I The Irish Muddle Under the inspiration of Sinn Fein, Ireland is rapidly re lapsing into barbarism. Assassination, arson and reprisals are the order of the day. The murder methods of Sinn Fein are as stupid as the coersion of British government, for they are destroying the property and prosperity of Erin and mak ing a shambles out of the island.

When an Irishman answers the door bell, he doesn't know- whet her he is going to greet an acquaintance or St. Peter. at anked among the most prosperous of peoples. Parnell, after thirty years of effort, convinced most of the English that Ireland ought to have home rule, but the "Gladstone home-rule bill was rejected by the House of Lords. And when the veto power of the lords had been removed and in 1012 another home-rule bill passed, its operation was "suspended" by threat of the Ulsterites, who rebelled and drilled as the Sinn Feiners have done since. When the Irish rebel against the failure to give them home rule and kill those representing English rule, "Black and Tans" are sent over to kill the Irish, burn their villages and devastate the land. And the Sinn Fein, under the inspira tion of demagogues, now spurn home-rule except in the 'shape of an independent republic, which would be an open enery to Great Britain and under German inspiration. Great Britain will never consent to the creation of an Irish republic, which would open the door for the invasion and destruction of England. There are only two other alternatives, give the Irish, dominion home rule, such as en joyed by Canada and Australia, or govern Ireland as a crown coiony under martial law. The latter course would awaken the resentment of Irish and their sympathisers and make matters worse. It is up to Great Britain to offer dominion home-rule to Ireland and for the Irish to accept it. Nobody is profiting, least, of all the Irish, from the present reign of terror, ex cept perhaps a few professional agitators and politicians who capitalize the Irish question for personal profit. It is high time both the Irish and the English regained their senses and peacftibly composed their differences. Cousin Josiah brought Faddy water. And soon Mr opened her eyes again. "She's growing weak, too," said Cousin Josiah. "It's just ns I told you," he declared, turning to Pad dy Muskrat. "You don't brinL; home enough food. Faddy began to lose his temper. "Then you had better help me," he suggested. Cousin Josiah yawned. "I'm altogether too sleepy to help you today," he answered. And he went into his bedroom. "How's your brother Ben?" Faddy asked his cousin the next day. Josiah Muskrafs mouth was bo full of food that he could not answer for a few moments. But at last he said: "I haven't any brother named Ben." Paddy Muskrat looked surprised. "How's Uncle Simon?" he in quired. "I don't know what you're talk ing about," Cousin Josiah snapped. He was annoyed because he had to talk for in order to talk he had to stop eating. "Why, my Uncle Simon is yotir father!" Faddv Muskrat exclaimed. "You're mistaken," said Cousin Josiah. "My father's name is Matthew Muskrat." And he seized a lily bulb and began eating it greedily. Faddy was astonished when he heard that. And then he cried: "You. are not my cousin Josiah at all! You're a fraud that's what you are! And you had better take your wife and your twelve children and leave my house at once!" The fat gentleman looked at his wife. "It'o Umo to go, Ezekiel!" she some .said hastily. "Tills person is toD "That's fine creed," he remark ed. "What a charming bunch you must be training with at Vassar!

"So that's your name, is it?" But the fat gentleman did not answer. He had already run out of the house, followed by his wife and children. Afterward, old Mr. Crow admit ted that he might have made a mistake. "I may have given your mtssage to the wrong person," he said. "You certainly did!" Paddy Muskrat told him.

Although many mills were closed, when the clothing slump began, the golden rule institution has greatly in creased its business and continues to. Ine 500 employes recently voted to surrender their jobs for a month to worthy men and women out of employment, and the manager fol lowed by donating a month's salary to relieve suffering. The factory used to be a slave-driving, sweat-shop affair, but the receiver raised wages and improved sanitary condi tions and the employes' response was a greatly increased out iut. Success of the application of the Golden Rule was doubted by all, but it has proved most profitable, financially as well as otherwise. There is no question but that these principles pay in business, but they are seldom given a chance. The rule of igold is too strong with most individuals, but this successful Experiment points the way to a solution of industrial problems. He was laughing, and her face, 1 oq knowing it.

Reporters Barred From Sessions at L. of N. Convention By Newton O. Parke Geneva, Dec. 13. Only two of the more than 115 deleeates in the first Assembly of the League of Nations openly advocated public discssions of the important ques tions to be solved by the Assem bly's six committees. They were Lord Robert Cecil, representing South Africa, and Sir James Allen, the delegate from New Zealand. Cecil surrendered under a heavy fire from VIviani, of the French delegation; Tittoni, of the Italian delegation, and Fish er, head of the delegation rep resenting the United iKngdom of Great Britain. He agreed to the Viviani plan, by which the com mittees meet in secret and issue brief statements to the world. Marion AutomobileCl 235 South Commercial, Salem, Ore.

When I knocked off for the day, I buzzed around like a hungry bee in a buckwheat field up and down long streets of R. J Reynolds Tobacco Co. factories! As the Reynolds enterprise proved out more and more gigantic and I talked with more men about it, I got the real and true answer as to why Camels are so good and so entirely different from any other cigarette! I'll spin it for you, old top listen: Every man I talked with made the one big point that the officials and the more than 350 Reynolds foremen have an inborn knowledge of the tobacco business; that (putting it into a North Carolina expres sion) they were virtually "born and raised in a tobacco patch ; that they Know to bacco; how to grade it, blend it, and how to manufacture and sell it ! And, what's most important of all, Pete, these Reynolds folks sure give men what they want the best that can be produced! Why Peter, it took months to perfect Camels Turkish and Domestic blend and that refreshing flavor and wonderful mild, mellow body ! Tomorrow, I'm going to meet some of the Reynolds folks.
