they collect half of the money on the pretext of "commun
ism." Newspapers are operated under direction of the cen
sor. All are obliged to print the same articles, furnished
by the Soviets, with both the Hungarian and German text.
The people, at first intoxicated by their new freedom,
have returned to a normal soberness" of mind but are un
able to throw off the red incubus.
Free transportation has resulted in food trains being
sidetracked for passenger traffic, and as a result the food
shortage has become acute.
The people are becoming despondent over present
conditions and the number of suicides is growing alarm
ingly. The cabinet spends five hours a day in wireless com
munication with the Russian Soviets at Moscow. Great
numbers of Russians are flocking to Budapest.
No reports are allowed to leave Hungary by telegraph
except those favorable to the Soviets.
HUMANE WEEK.
April 27 marked the beginning of Humane Week, and
of all the many weeks set aside in this country for cele
bration or observance none is more worth-while.
Ministers of all denominations will preach sermons
dealing with humane treatment for criminals. Societies
banded together for the purpose will make extra effort to
arouse public interest in this good cause.
In the three years which have elapsed since this week
was first observed studies have been made in eliminating
avoidable cruelties to animals in harness, and even those
doomed to death in the slaughter house find their declin
ing and final end more mercifully conducted than did
their predecessors.
People in general have a better understanding of
real kindness to animals than they did in the days gone
by. Children as a rule are taught both at home and in
pchool to care for their pets and to alleviate animal dis
tress wherever they can. The starved and beaten horse
of the peddler no longer drags his weary way along the
streets. If he appears at all, some humane friend tele
phones the authorities and Mr. Peddler receives instruc
tions and horsey receives kindly care.
It is all good work good for animals and good for
people. Humane Week should receive especial attention
as befits its value.

THE PROMOTER'S WIFE
BY JANE PHELPS
Those professional Irishmen who are trying to raise
a row in this country because of the eternal Anglo-Irish
quarrel ought to be shipped back to the Emerald Isle and
told to stay there. They have no business in this country
with their hyphenated Americanism. This country has no
more room for Irish-Americans or Scandinavian-Americans,
or any other qualified Americans, than it has for
German-Americans. The man who becomes a citizen of
this country in the future has got to be an American,
pure and simple, or he will be anything but popular with
his fellow citizens. It is not so much what country a man
was born in that matters, as whether he has given up his
old alliance in dead earnest in order to become an Ameri
can to the core. Tltose, Irish-American politicians, most
of whom were backing the kaiser, morally at least, when
the nation was in peril, make us extremely tired. They
ought to be kicked out into the middle of the Atlantic and
told to swim for shore, and the Irish shore at that.
The British government is asking employers in the
United States to give employment to discharged British
soldiers who are being trained along technical lines, de
claring that such action would do much to cement the
growing bond of friendship between the two nations.
Great Britain seems to forget that we have a few dis
charged soldiers of our own to take care of, although we
are perfectly willing to remember the Allied soldiers next.
Our. friends the I. W. W. delegates who recently held
a convention in Sioux City with the approval and co-operation
of the mayor of that city, announce that they will
hold another session in Salt Lake City in June. And the
Salt Lake mayor, sheriff and a few other officials have
announced that they won't. Somehow, we are inclined to
believe the officials.
The average war time increase in prices on all com
modities in the United States was 107 per cent, according
to figures compiled by the department of labor, and our
bank deposits during that time increased three fold.
Considering that in France, where bank deposits only
doubled during the war, prices rose 235 per cent above
normal it may may be that we haven t as much to holler
about as we thought.

RIPPLING RHYMES
By Walt Mason
MY GARDEN.
My garden sass begins to grow, with ring-tailed
squashes in a Tow, and onion sets in line; the valued plants
are looking pale, the Brussels sprouts, the luscious kale,
but weeds are doing fine. If weeds were only good to eat,
my garden plot would be a treat, a sight for jaded eyes;
if jimpson weeds were good to boil, and didn't taste like
castor oil, my crop would be a prize. If beans would grow
like cockleburs my girls would all be wearing furs, and
loaded with long green; and 'Id be strictly up to date and
ride around the town in state in my own limousine. If
cabbageheads would only thrive, as thistles do, and keep
alive in time of drouth or flood, I might enjoy this sowing
feeds, and wrestling with the husky weeds, and clawing in
the mud. I have to coax tcmato plants, protect them from
the bugs and ants, and shield them from the sun; I have
to nurse them day by day, and then they wilt and fade
sway, their course too quickly run. My beans have gone
to kingdom come, the radishes are on the bum, they shriv
eled in two days; but gorgeously the milkweeds grow; if
they were worth two cents a throw they'd be blamed hard
to raise.
Buy at home this week and next week, and the week
after. Loyalty to your community and the neonle amonc
whom you live will go far toward giving you standing
and influence among your fellows. The community that is
good enough to make money in should be good enough to
pend it in.
When May Day has passed safely and the Germans
have signed the peace treaty then the era of prosperity
is due to begin.
The millionaires must have taken a liking for prunes
the way the prices are soaring.
Wilson seems to have made Rome howl.

Those "Bee" Electric Vac
uum Cleaners do the work
required of them. The manu
facturers of this cleaner
have for ten years specializ
ed on electric vacuum clean
ers and can truthfully say
they have learned how to
produce the best. They stand
back of this cleaner with
their absolute guarantee
against any defect of either
material or workmanship,
and they "make good". It is
not necessary to pay $45 to
$60 for an electric cleaner,
when you can get one to do
the work for $37.50.
All we ask is to get one of
those high priced cleaners.
Then have us send you a
"Bee" in competition, and af
ter giving them a good trial
if the "Bee" does not please
you better, we will gladly
take it away and no ques

The motor to this cleaner
has a powerful specially de
