BECAUSE THEY ARE HONEST. Tho manager of one of New York's largest hotrte, pays nn article in a current magazine, 'Murin? the last year cached $3, ISO. 000 worth of checks for guests and patrons. As an Indication of the cars employed It need only be mentioned that the tctal loss from bad checks amounted to Hfs than $125.'' This is more than nn indication of care by hotel people. It is a commentary, writ large for all to read, upon the honesty of people In general. Dishonest people succeeded in pawing $123 worth of bad paper. IoubtIc.cH others tried to do o and fa;led. But 13,130, 00ft worth was pood paper, iven in good faith. This Is why the blue sky crooks flourish. Most people are not only honest, but, beim; human, they jr.dgo other people by themselves. They believe the glowing folder, th mooth-tongued salesman. Most people, also, retain In tome co-ner of their minds a childlike- belief in fairies. In the sphtr? of their own dally buhlnss they may be shrexd, keen buyer?, good Judges of human nature. But outside tho gaten of their own province they tako rerrescntat!ons at their face value because they themselves are honest. This Is a time when everybody has a bit of ready money or a bond laid by. The mall is Hooded with stock advertising, tho front door bell rings often to admit tho palesman whone oil Is confined to hia voice, whoso motor value is limited o the hired car h rides in, vho?c airplane futures arc paths Jn the pathleps sky. Some of the stock is Kood.- In every town there la at least ono banker or broker who has been established for years, who has nothing to gain and everything to lose by advising his townsmen falsely. It Is his business to know tho market. If tho ad trice of such people be sought before Investing In stocks of unknown value, there will bo little los from wild cat mines and blue Fky motor companies.

THE BURDENOF FRANCE. It la unfortunate that France feels obliged to act klone in holding the Germans to those terms of tho peaco treaty which have to do with vital considerations of Franco's own safety. If there is no other practical way, however, France is to be commended rather than criticised for fcer recent conduct. Germany must bo kept in submission until her war obligations have- b i met; and to keep her submiaelve. it ia well for Germany to be taught a stern lesson. It is easy and natural for Fncrland, and still more for America, to minimize tho French sense of peril. Franco has Germany always on her border. She has differed too much to enduro patiently any further depredations or any condition that might mako tho German dangerous hereafter. France has a greater stake than any other allied nation in the fulfillment of Germany's peace pUdqts. France is especially concerned with the status of the Ruhr basin, because pho depends chiefly on that district for tho German coal supplies duo her in compensation for her own wrecked mines. But over and above all other direct considerations Is the fact cf Germany;? persistent evasion of the peace term-?. She has maintained a larger army than she is entitled to. She has kept thousands of airplanes when she should have none. She has neglected to demobilize her naval forces. She has not yielded up submarines and other vessels as sho promised to do. Sho has not delivered the quantity of coal agreed upon. She has not shown an honest Intent and a sincere dt-s'ro to di.charpe her treaty obligations. There is nothing left, then, but coercion. The pity of it is that upon France alone is imposed tho task cf holding Germany to her duty. This is properly the work cf all the allies. Great Britain, Italy and America ought to be by France's aiwf And if thy were, there would be no force required. A stern command would suülee. That ntern command cannot be given without the presence and cooperation of the United States in the allied councils. The most pointed lesson of this whole unpleasant business is that France has to use force, and tvrn run the risk cf destroying tho little remaining unity among the allies, because tho United States refuses to ratify the peace treaty and f.ke her rightful place In tho league of Nations. With a strong league in operation. Germany would not dare to trit'.e with the allies and make her treaty pledges scraps of paper.

i PARCEL POST DEFECTS. Tercel post service has long been urged by the government as a m ans for bringing the farmer and the city customer together, and there has been a good deal of wonder as to why it is not used more for this purpose A writer who has teen interviewing farmer patron. of the se'rvice suggests some of the rc afon for its failure. One farmer's wife, a k t n business woman, living within ea,sy mailing distar.ee of several large cities tried for.dir.-T -ggs by post to lur town customers. Th'- r:cs were packed in crates exhibited and recommended by the postal authorities at the county fa;r. Yh n she mailed th c rates the lady Insured them S-ral cf them were completely crushed la transit. When sho-tried to collect insur

ance lor her lorts FheTour.ti that these governmentapproved and advertised crates did not permit packing the eggs in accordance with government requirements for articles to be Insured, and she got nothing. At aroth'r time a crate of eggs disappeared outright. From that day to this the ownr has received neither information nor monetary satisfaction, though sh- was assured the matter would be "in-VCrtl'-'ltrd." Other complaints are that' tho cost of containers is excessive, and postage rates aro prohibitive for bulky foods. le!ay In delivery, resulting in the spoiling of fowls and other perishable merchandise, is a common experience, and In almost every case, even though covered by insurance, no refund or other satisfaction is' forthcoming. The parcels post could and should be one of the most practical and valuable of public utilities. It is maintained at public expense. There should be no cessation of the public demand fcr Its improvement until it serves its purpose.

STATE FORESTS. Another ptate has taken definite action toward the renewal of its forests. Pennsylvania has Just purchased outright over 1.000,000 acres of cut-over wnste lands, and intends to extend this area to 6,000, OCO acres. Most of this land lies in large, compact areas which may be easily and economically managed and protected from fire loss. It is estimated that the public foreft lands are already worth double the cost of acquisition plus all outlay for maintenance. A number of fine public Interests will bo served by these state lands. They will be used as camping site3 anl recreation enters for the public. They will encourage tho development and better care of privately owned forests because they will create and maintain wood-using industries and will insure a growing force of trained foresters and better general fire protection. Because it is not forced by financial need to cut its young trees, the 5tate can effect a sustained but from its forest areas and can encourage the growth of larger sizes and heavier yields per acre. In the future this will moan a steady income for tho ptibllc from its forests. If every state In th.- Union took its forest problems seriously and went about Its forest development and preservation promptly and generously, a great deal of good work would be accomplished in a comparatively short time. Public opinion, too would be developed which would help to advance national forestry as well as to regulate private timber industries at least sufficiently to reduce the terrible waste and loss that exists today.

THE LUCKY FARMERS. Sen. Capper of Kansas, in a recent article in Tho Journal of tho American Bankers' association, writes: "The averago buying power of tho American termer has increased during tho laet four years from $1,600 to $3,400 a year, over 100 percent, while the average buying power of tho city man remains about $900 a year. "Two-thirds of all farmers In America own their own homes; contrast this with the knowledge that two-thirds of all city-dwellers rent. Farming is a profession, and despite the many exceptions to the rule, a profession which is passed down from father to son through many generations; in other wrtrds, there is a permanency both to the profession Itself and about the men who follow it." An increase of over 100 percent in buying power surely means a fair degree of prosperity, especially when ono considers how many things the farmer does not have to buy. In spite of all its drawbacks, the farmer's business is still about the most independent and the most dependable in its returns.

As the dato of the convention approaches, candidates arc less certain that what they heard was the people calling. Many are called, but enly ono is chosen.

Gen. Pershing's strong inclination to keep quiet while other fighting men are spilling the beans Is not the least of his recommendations.

John D. Rockefeller, jr., says people think too much about their pay. John, you see, doesn't have to worry about his.

Under gold treatment tho pound sterling is improving. Why not try It on francs?

New York complains of fake beggars. The latter know where the easy marks arc.

Ominous of the reopening of the war is the news that troops are again being "hurled" here and there.

The little political bee is certainly improving each Fhlning hour.

With the primary elections under way there Is less work for ouija.

Germany's 'wails might fall on more sympathetic ears did we not know her so well.

LAND G KANTS IV)K SOLD1CUS. (Oklahoma Oklahoman.) As an alternative to money payments the American Ieglon is asking congress to remedy the -deficiencies in the compensation of soldiers and sailors by granting public lands to the service men who may prefer real estate to cash. Not much attention is being given to this proposal, probably because of the belief that land worth having is not available. There is on foot, however, a reclamation project, which promises to add to the nation's resources hundreds of thousands of acres of the most fertile land in the world. The soldier or sailor who wins a farm in this tract will get a prize far more valuable than tho largest money "bonus" proposed in any of the numerous bills on the subject. Moreover, the land grants will not be burdensome to the taxpayers. If congress adopts the American Legion plan farsighted service men will weigh the alternative forms of compensation before filing claims for the money payment. . Besides cash and land grants the Legion program calls for vocational training and government aid in building a home, tho service men to have his choice of one of the four. The reclamation project referred to calls for the construction of a canal, at a cost of from $30.000.Ü0Ö to $40, 0CO. 000, by which water from tho Colorado river will be used to irrigate vast stretches of ucsert in southern California. This barren land lies in the Imperial Valley, a large part of which has already been transformed by Irrigation into a garden spot. W'th a chance to get a farm worth from J 200 to $300 an acre, shrewd soldiers fcr whom farming has an appeal will turn -up, their roses at a cash bonus. '

More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

Congress has this year discontinued its ancient practice of garden seed distribution. When Fpring came smiling through tho land And set the little brooks to sing-

in" When every breeze was soft and bland And homeward all tho birds were singing. When blossoms burgeoned on tho mead And green the buds were, on the lattice, I used to watch to see the seed My Congressman despatched me gratis. And ah! I used to plant them too, I set them out on every May-day; For I was young the skies were blue. And soring and hope were in their hey-day. I watered them with tender care; The richest, blackest loam I brought 'em, And all the time that I could spare, I gave to them from May till autumn. But though the rains wept o'er their beds, Though sunbeams warmed their resting places, No sproutlets ever raised their heads. No pianllets showed their tiny faces, But after years I came to know That neither rain nor sun r.6r diet Nor care nor toil could mako them grow, In fact, that wouldn't even try It, And yet, in springtime, when they came. Aside I reverently lai '. them. And always thrilled to see my name Upon the packet that conveyed them. It mattered little if they grew. That wasn't in the least essential; But when they camo the neighbors knew That I was rather influential.

WHAT'S IN A NAME

Facts about your name; Its history; Its meaning: whence it was derived; its significance; your lucky day and lucky jewel. BY MILDRCD MARSILLL.

IlMMKLIXi;. Emmeline is another of the feminine names produced from the root Amal, of which Amelia has been already discussed. But Emmeline, which ha9 often been erroneously confused as a derivative cf Emma, has an interesting history. The

name, which is translated to mean "work serpent", has no connection other than by similarity of letters, with Emma, which means "grandmother." Emmeline came into existence through the queens of Navarre and tho Austrias. The sister of Sancno I. of Navarre, who married Alphonse the Great, was called Angelina, Rut the ladies of Navarre wero not contented with a slngl namethey must have equivalents. So Amellna was also Sir.u-r.a and Ximena, Ximena survived the longest of any of her other names and came to be popular in all classes. The wife of the Cid was so called but tho French turned her into Chimene. The English promptly called thli strange name Emmeline and even France now has an Emmeline. The

form Emylyne, which appears in old ballad poetry is identical with Emmeline. The latter name is a bit long for Americans and though it is properly given in Baptism, it unfortunately too quickly degenerates into the : handy "Emmy" which is no name i at all! ! Jasper is Emmellne's talismanic gem. The brilliant green stone wil! drive away evil spirits and prevent tho bites of venemous creatures, particularly of snakes. A prayer for rain will be answered if the one who prays wears Jasper. Tuesday is Emmellne's lucky day and 5 her lucky number.
