DO YOU 'MEMBER?
JuSt about this time o' the ysar and the bunch would call for you
and you'd beg off weedin' the onions and "promise ma that you'd do
them in the morning and finally she'd say, "Well, all right, young
man, you can go this time, bat if dad wants o know where you were
this afternoon, and why the garden wasn't weeded, you can do the
explaining."
Oh boy! then down the road and through the pasture (and you'd
rip your shirt crawiin' under the fence) and then tim bunch would
stop and pull off some of Ad Meteor's corn-silk and you'd all light UP
one o' the home-made cigs and Skinny Stearn or Fat Temple would'
get a little dizzy and make all sorts of excuses about why they weren't
teelin' good. Ehl 'member?
Then pretty soon the grand old creek ';ould loom up in sight
like an oasis in a desert, and you'd all start peelin' off on the way
down till there wasn't an awful lot left on, and then mebbe Bob Reed
or Dec Janes would start out like a greyhound with a bundle o'
clothes under his wing. and talk about your cross-country races
none of them had anything on that one, eh! And Fat would usually
trip on something or run a thistle in his toe. But he'd always come
up smiling. And then SPLASH! SPLASH! like so many frogs you'd
all tumble in and come up splttin' water all over like young whales.
And Fat would always hold his na and Jump ln_'cause he couldn't
dive; 'member? Ehl

BRITISH PAI00LIAMENT
ASKS PRIME MINISTER
TO HAND OVER POWER
SUGGEST THAT LLOYD GEORGE
APPEAR OCCASIONALLY TO
ANSWER QUESTIONS IN
HOUSE OF COMMONS
Oxford, Eng., June 5, 1920.
Great Britain is not having a
presidential election this year, of
course. That is something to be
thankful for. But she has plenty
of trouble of her own, even outside
of Ireland. Perhaps my readers
aren't taking their own paJieies ser-
iously enough to prevent their smil-
ing at other peoples.
Naturally the war produced con-
siderable dislocation in the British
system of government. The cabinet
system, under which all important
decisions are taken by a council of
from twelve to twenty members, was
nt a good way of. running the war.
A'ccording, ly, an inner war cabinet
of about five became the real guiding
force. With the burden of war work
upon him, it became natural that the
Prime Minister, who normally leads
the House of Commons, should be-
come a handy man--actually Mr.
Bonar Law.
This was contrary to all the tradi-
tions which make up the so-called
British constitution, When the war
was over people began to suggest
that Mr. Lloyd might do well to
return to the old ways and appear,
at least occasionally to answer ques-
OR more tire mileage, more miles to a
gallon.of gasoline, greater riding comfort
and for the best pouible tire investment
Them th, as are built to this Ideal:
"To be the best €oncern in the world to work for and
the sqmurt concern in exlatence to do business with."
SHELTON GARAGE
J. Lee Pauley, Manager
t
tions in the House of Commons. His
answer is put aptly in a cartoon in
"Punch." Brittania, as an old lady
says:
"I know, George, that conditions
aren't what they once were, but I
should like my servants to try to be
at home occasionally.
Lloyd George answers: "Very well,
madam, I shall try to be at home
every Tuesday afternoon to answer
the door bell."
But that is a mere question of
machinery, and a trifle beside some
of the great substantive questions[
with which the politicians are play-]
ing. There is Russia, for instance. ]
Mr. Lloyd George is said to know]
less about foreign affairs than any]
Prime Minister Britain has ever had, I
which makes him a particularly val-
uable man at the resent moment.
Cmminly his Russmn policy is be-
yond the ken of the mere reader of
the papers. The government's pol-
icy in home politics is to keep down
Bolshevism--very popular soothing]
syrup in more countries than one.
Yet this week a Bolshevik commercial
mission has established its sum-
mer-quarters in London and is
meeting daily with government
representatives. As so often happens
in politics, the government is torn
between two considerations--the poli-
tical consequences of recognizing the
Bolsheviki and the commercial neces-
sity of trading with them. There
can be little doubt that in a commer-
cial 'country such as England the
victory will eventualy be with com-
merce.
If certain of the daily papers are
to be trusted, the .government is
playing a most starthng part in a
comic tragedy in the Middle East--
the "Muddled East" it is now called.
A desert sheik is in rebellion against
his Arabic Majesty the King of the
Hedjaz. The British Foreign Office is
supplying the king with arms and
money, which is fair 'enough, since
he fought on the side of the allies
du:Hng the war. But now comes the
touch of genius on the part of either
the Government or the newspaper
writer. The India Office, beliewng
the ambitions of the king to be in-
imical to the interests af Great Brit-
ain in Asia, is supporting the rebel
sheik with a subsidy and supplies.
And both combatants draw their dole
from Lord Allenby, the British Com-
missioner in Egypt! The story may
not be true, but it's worth repeating i
on its merits.
Inside the country, affairs
equally quite interesting. This
flnancialb.udget calls for hlghe ;axes
and an mcrease of postal rates.
There is still much demand for a
"capital levy"--that is, a confiscation
of a certain percentage of all the
capital in the country for the purpose
of paying the war dept. I need not
say that the vrouosal ]s one on which
feeling runs high. The present gov-
ernment is believed to be opposed to
it, but. has not committed itself.
Even if it had, it has shown great
ability to change its mind overnight.
Mr. Lloyd George's ability to
wmggm, out ef situations has won
him the nickname o;f "the Eel," as
well as that of "he Welsh Wizard."
I spent an evening not long ago in
the gallery of the House of Com-
mons. Of curse I didn't happen to
hit the Prime Minister's day at home.
Mr. Winston Churchill, aggressive
and unpleasant, and Mr. T. P. O'-
Connor, lingering fondly over the
Home Rule debates of twenty 'years
ago, Were the only speakers of im-
portance whom I heard. Indeed, as
is the case in all democratic legis-
latures nowadays, no real work
seemed to be done on the floor of the
House.
In spite of the problems which
press, and the slack way in which
many of them are handled, the
Lloyd George government seems at
the present moment to have a strong
hold on the county. The labor party
is strong in numbers but still weak
in leadershlp the Asquith Liberals
differ from the government only in
desiring to do themselves the samc i
things the government is doing. But
then, it's always easier to say that
aort of thing about somebody else's
Country.
