A Little on Account Teagle Will Sell Oil The Oceans Are Closer Washington reports "payment of the $3.000.000,000 soldiers' bonus before the end of the next session is virtually assured." Good news for soldiers. Do you suppose the government will print more of its "inflation bonds," and insist on paying interest on its own money instead of printing new money for the bonus, or Arthur Brisbane do you believe there must be some limits to stupidity? The League of Nations wants 11S to "clarify our position." It would be made clear if the President would write to the League of Nations: position is this: We are attending to our business, and advise you to do the same. Also, what about a little cash on account of $10.000.000.000 you owe us on the last Walter Teagle, head of the Standard Oil of New Jersey, disposes sensibly of the suggestion that Americans should refuse to sell oil to Italy. He says Standard Oil is not in the League of Nations and he will continue selling oil through his Italian subsidiary.

One point he brought out in his address was the fact that county officials purchase printing supplies from houses which specialize in this line and the local printers could furnish these just as well. Mr. Arnold maintains that counties which trade through the local institutions are paying less taxes chan others.

MONICA, CALIF. SANTA me, the biggest, most tragic story in the week's papers was not a war in Africa, or a Mexican border raid, or the passing of a gallant American soldier. It was a little press dispatch from an Ohio town where a twelve-year-old boy lived. on relief, the father out of work. There was no tood in the house, no pennies to buy food with.

The littie chap owned 8 rabbit. The parents voted that the rabbit must gO in the pot to put strength into the stomachs of the hungry brood. Their son was hungry, too. But his Irvin S. Cobb.

rabbit was his pet, his one possession. So he went and hanged himself with a loop of frayed clothes-line. People, including some who have plenty of it for themselves, are given to saying money isn't everything. Maybe not, but it'll buy quite a lot of things. Just a little money in that poor household would have bought a boy's life.

And a boy, who so dearly loved a dumb and helpless thing that he died rather than see it die, might have grown up to be somebody in a world which needs all the compassion and all the loving it can get. The Lion and the Lamb. TO MATTER who gets involved in it or how this Ethiopian war turns out, watch motherly old Britain emerge from the megs with something valuable territories. concessions, mandates or what have away in her commodious bread baskets. Any time the lion and the lamb lie down together, the lamb stays down--provided it's the British lion you're thinking of.
