HERALD EDITORIALS BURNING CORN Farmers in the middle west are burning corn for fuel. In sections where corn is cheap, coal is scarce, or high in price and of poor quality. It seems anomolitus, but it is true, that farmers are saving money when they fill their stoves with the golden grain. Coal miners are threatening the land with a shortage. They should bear in mind that farmers can't be frozen while the corn crib is well stocked, but that the miner himself has no corn to burn. Despite the fact that the corn consumed in this fashion does not represent a large sum in money to the individual, the aggregate is large, and the whole of it is worse than mere waste. While the corn of Iowa and Nebraska turns to ashes, there are millions suffering for lack of food. The corn, put to wiser uses, would be the means of saving many lives. While charity feeds the famished Russians, it would be able to afford greater relief if it had access to the products of corn. But no, the farmer needs the corn to warm his house. If he could get coal he would much prefer the coal. Labor rates and freight rates prevent his use of this natural and abundant fuel. If he didn't need to burn his corn, worthy persons might be cured of hunger. In some respects the generation seems not to be very intelligent. It produces food and destroys it. It might produce plenty of coal, but declines to do so. It has learned how to distribute its output even in its own country. A RECALITRANT MAYOR A RECALITRANT MAYOR Mayor Thompson of Chicago has been severely rebuked by Secretary Hoover. The letter of censure is courteous, and therefore the sting of its sentences is more acute. Mr. Hoover stands in such light before the country that there must be general acceptance of his attitude. The offense of the mayor in this instance, was his refusal to co-operate in the matter of relieving the unemployed. He denounced the plan as a capitalistic move with the object of compiling a blacklist, of refusing charity to American laboring men, a drive against union labor, and a conspiracy to lower wages. Thompson is understood to have done fairly well in relation to some matters purely local to Chicago. So far as his wider activities are concerned they have not won respect for the man or his principles. In the war he was pro-German. Since the war, it is evident that he has no sympathy with the victims of conditions that in large measure grew out of the great conflict. The charges that Thompson brought were against all fact or reason. They ignored the real purpose, which was to find work for idle workers. Much has been accomplished, and owing to these concerted efforts, in which Thompson declined to participate, the situation is steadily improving. It may be illuminating to add that the American Federation of Labor, the railway brotherhoods, and the organized mine workers were among the supporters of the project. It is not believed that any of these bodies favors a blacklist, or is particularly devoted to the scheme of lowering wages. Announcement is made that packers are to open retail shops and thus abolish middlemen, meaning retail butchers. It is true that the retailers have not brought their prices down to accord with wholesale prices, and discipline might be good for their souls. At the same time confidence in the packers as middlemen has not reached any high pitch, and it is feared that in such roles they would be very like any other middlemen. Somebody expresses fear that if nations do not disarm they will be exterminated, and yet that if they do disarm, Islam will sweep them out of existence.

For a man who entertains so morose a view there could be suggested no relief other than by going down to the dock, exclaiming "Goodby weak and wobbly world" and jumping off.

Just a few months ago California heirs to the same property were engaged in selecting the style of limousine they thought would comport with a condition of great wealth. Those of them not still patronizing the street cars, comprised on flivvers.

Snap Shots By Henry James Doubtless Senator La Follette is sincere in his desire to have Secretary Melon fired, but the senator's all isn't what it used to be. Another puzzle is as to what the mail robbers do with all their money. If Re Gardner is not at the bottom of the rail robbing industry it is because he is at the bottom of Puget Sound. Perhaps the American delegates to the conference know almost as much as the millions of voluntary counsel. Strange how an innocent prisoner shrinks from the vindication that would result from trial. The rise of insanity is so effective that an accused person making it may be assumed to be quite sane. Senator Watson is the buzzing blue-bottle of the capitol. Licuor is said to be for sale just beyond the three-mile limit, but the swimming is bad. The builder that bit a bandit deceiver a meal of porterhouse to take the taste out of its mouth. If the average grid eleven is as fierce this year as its talk an ambulance should be parked close to every time. Little Stories for Bedtime By THORNTON W. BURGESS (Copyright by J. G. Lloyd) HOW THE RED COW BROKE HER COMPACT A PRETTY funny time the woodsfolk had escorting Tad Coon home to Dr. Muskrat's Pond after his thrilling rescue. The foxes had only kept him one night in the willow tree, but he thought he was carrying so he wanted to hunt out every frogky reed-clump and every mouse-trail he stumbled across. Or else, some silly little sound would send him climbing again because his nerves were so on edge he was sure foxes were coming back after him. Or else, he'd want to sit down and discuss how the Red Cow came to be hunting in the Deep Woods with Trailler the hound. Just answer him that! Nobody could. Nibble Rabbit and Chips Beaver and old Dr. Muskrat were just as puzzled as he was. And just as bursting with curiosity. But, as Dr. Muskrat said: "Any bird will perch if you just watch it long enough." Meaning that you always find out same time. Of course he didn't mean Tad. But the words were scarcely out from under his whiskers before the scary fellow was trying to scramble up the wire fence in a new panic. And this time they all trembled with him—for they heard a moan! "Someone's in trouble!" gasped Nibble. Hi feet really wanted to run away, but the sound was so yery and he summoned up all his courage and crept over to see who was making it. Softly he picked his way through curly leaves without making a rustle. After a breathless moment they heard him thump: "Come on! Come quick." You've guessed who it was. It was the Red Cow. She knew a hole in the fence Nibble Rabbit had forgotten. Twas the hole with the gate Tommy Peele's big Cousin Sandy opened for Redskin when Tommy and Louie Thotpson rode him home from the Big Marsh. The horse couldn't have opened it for himself. But you remember the noise that wasn't a tree falling because the "Blam" came at the wrong end of it? That was when the Red Cow rammed her hard head against it. Binach! She bunted the top rail into kindling wood and leaped the gap. But she broke more than the gate. She broke her compact with Tommy Peele and his old dog, Watch. Mmoo!" she moaned. "I've gone wild, I've gone wild, but I don't want to stay here in the Deep Woods; it's a horrible place. I want to be tame again. But I can't get back. Mmmoo!" And she couldn't. All the splinters she left behind had turned into spikes that pricked her red skin so she didn't dare try to jump through them. "O-oo! If Watch doesn't find who'll do my milking. And if he does, what can I say to him?" She was just breaking her heart about it. Next Story: What a Pickle the Red Cow Was In. Between Ourselves By Della M. Stewart By DELLA E. STEWART Most women and many men have entertained the club idea with enthusiasm. Club galore have been formed for the furtherance of every cause under the sun. Just when the meaning of the word was enlarged to signify an association of persons who meet to promote a common object philosophy falls to tell us. Webster declares that its original meaning was: "A stick or piece of wood, with one end heavier and thicker than the other, and not larger than can be wielded with the hand." Now political clubs have, as must be admitted by any intelligent person, been prime favorites with men for many decades. But it remained for the vote of woman to add variety to the idea of a political club. In a certain large city during a primary contest for nominations for the mayoralty not long ago, one of our foreign born citizens exercised the sovereign right of the ballot. Having done his duty as he saw it, he determined that his wife, who seemed not to appreciate the struggles of her sister suffragists to extend the ballot to her as well, should go to the polling place and perform her duty also. The wife not showing proper interest, the husband put the machinery of his particular political club into motion. That the wife, alive to the privileges of American citizenship to some degree, should at once hale him into court, was due to ignorance of her husband as to any other than the original meaning of the word "club," until it was impressed upon him by the judge through the medium of sentence. It was prophesied that the entrance of women into politics would inject new methods. The action of our foreign born citizen would go to show the correctness of the assertion.

RED CROSS Red Cross health centers are located almost anywhere., Salinas, Cal., has an eight-room house, Watsonville shares a space with the chamber of commerce in a store on the main street. In Arizona, the domestic science building has been donated by the school board of Morenci to house the work all summer, while in Beatty, Nev., Mrs. Kierman's own home is "the center from which health influences radiate." Many libraries and court houses offer space for this work. But best unique of all in the Pacific division is the center soon to be opened in Red Bluff, Cal., in an old saloon. The sign outside reading "Beer' 5c a glass," will soon say "Bring your babies for a specialist's advice at 10 on Saturady," and the former cigar stand will soon display free literature on "What to do before the baby comes" and "How to feed the family." The back room is being fitted up for clinics and consultations, while the main bar room will offer a welcome resting place for country folks doing their Saturday's shopping in The Red Cross has long held the record for ingenuity in salvaging disused articles, but in Red Bluff it seems to have beaten its own record. Mrs. Eva Boyd, secretary of the local chapter, states that there are now thirty-five health centers in the Pacific division and that on April 30, 1921, there were 264 in the United States, at which-10,732 people had received clinic service, and 14,580 received answers to questions on matters pertaining to health during the month. Mrs. Boyd also pointed out that every Red Cross membership secured in the coming roll call will mean a vote for the continuance of this nationwide health betterment work which has made such enormous strides in the last two years. The announcement that there are more males than females in the United States is obviously an error. Perhops they have classified neuter lounge lizards as males. The chief fault of our present system is not that it permits some men to remain idle who should be at work, but that it forces men to remain idle when they wish to work.
