THE RAILROAD BILL.
Conferees on the railroad reorgani-
xation bill have finally reached an
agreement on a measure that attempts
to reconcile the differences between
the two Houses on railroad legislation
as evidenced by the Cummins bill as
it passed the Senate and the Esch bill
as It passed the House. The compul-
sory arbitration feature of the Cum-
mins bill has given way to an attempt
at arbitration,by boards on which both
employers and employes are equally
represented and an appeal board whose
members will be named by the Presi-
dent and ratified by the^JSenate. An-
other stumbling block was the guaran-
teed returns, the amount of it and
its duration. Compromise on this
point resulted in guaranteeing a 5 1-2

came ostensibly to escape oppression
and sought to destroy their protec-

sought freedom for freedom’s sake;
the men of the Buford sought free-

I destruction and ruin upon the country
which had received them on equal foot-

; offered them equal opportunity with
all others to climb as their deserts en-
titled them to climb. The men of the
Mayflower made their own freedom;
the men of the Buford abused the free-

their descendants and the Cavaliers

tithesis might be continued intermin-
ably. In fact, the one similarity* be-

the men of the Buford is that both

We’ve just gotten in a fresh shipment of Liggett's Candies. It
is needless for us to say anything of the quality of Liggett's goods,
for thiy are known by the candy consumers the world over to be
made of the purest and best materials, and that no care or ex-
pense is spared in their manufacture. In the world of fine con-
fections Liggett’s occupies a niche distinctively its own. This
preference over inferior brands has been won by a never-ceasing
vigilance—by an unending regard for quality. This policy has
given Liggett's a place in the public esteem far in advance of other
brands, and this esteem has been won on merit alone

It seems pretty much of a compromise

Economic conditions overseas have
very much to do with the low rate of
exchange which sets a new record ev-
ery day or two; but the comparison
of import and export values for 1919
gives an additional reason. During
1919 exports from the United States
were valued at $7,992,15$,592 against
$6,149,087,545 in 1918. Imports were
less than half that sum, or $3,904,406,-
, . The exports
had to be paid for in current funds
from national treasuries already de-
pleted, and the drop in exchange,
which began during the. war, contin-
ued at an accelerated .speed as the six-
cess of American exports piled up.
The situation is leading to a revival
of primitive bartering. A man in New
York from Australia the other day
wanted German dyes, but to obtain
them advantageously he proposed to
follow this procedure. He was to buy
$100,000 worth of American trucks
in New York. For this he was to
ship $100,000 worth of Australian
wool. And the trucks were to be ship-
ped to Germany in payment for $100,-
000 worth of dyes. The difference in
exchange made straight sales and pur-
chases difficult profitably, so he re-
sorted to the system of bartering out-
lined and at last accounts was getting
his plans in working order for the
four-cornered deal whereby he was to

Pocklts.
Peeples pocklts aie one of the most
private parts of their clothes, and if
you waw'ked up to somebody and sed,
Wats you got in your pocklts? it would
be one of the most impolltest things
you could do and nobody would tell
you enyhow. If you stood on a corner
long enuff, you would see hundreds
of Htrangers go past and each one
would have about 10 pocklts and you
Wouldvnt know wat was in eny ot
them, and meybe some of the strung

Boys generally have something In

they wunt a ixcuse not to tip thejr

Men aw’ffen go erround without
enything in their vest pocklts, being
a grate waist. Gcrls dont hardly ever
have eny pocklts, and even wen they
do there* never enything in them but
a tiny little l>it of a hankerchiff, prov-

She sighed again and then she
smiled. '1 find myself thinking sr>
often of Mother these days,” she said.
"Mary has been showing me the way
they dance the new dances, and if I
didn't know that her dancing teacher
wan all right I would be quite shock
ed at some of them just
used to be when the two-«Up was
new. Then Mary says they've gone
buck to the old waltz, but when I try
to dance It with her we can't get
along together. And It was just that
way with mother and me when I was
a girl. I thought mother danced so
queerly, though father said she had
always been called a lovely dancer
when she was a girl. And now Mary
thinks I dance queerly!”
"I wonder." she laughed outright at
the thought, "if some day Mary's lit-
tle girl will think she dances so queer-,
ly? T suppose she will."

That conversation
years ago, but 1 thought of it
other day when another one of
friends showed me - her little girl's
party frock. It was to bo a dainty
pink chiffon affair with a little V neck
and sleeves to the cfbo^v—quite won-
derful, I thought, and so did her aunt,
who said her first party frock was
only dimity and she had nevqr had a
