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!

IACOMA, WASHINGTON I I I iii II 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. J. H.
