Butte (Mont.) Miner. The Xew Jersey gentleman who is carrying his food with him on a trip to Florida is merely extending a practice prac-tice many persons found convenient in the days of government operation of railroad dining cars. The shoe-box luncheon, long a stranger outside the day coach, moved triumphantly into the Pullman car in 191S. Tonopah (New) Bonanza. Funny how optimistic politicians can be before nn election?

Fourteen hundred and thirty Irish j girls arrive in America, and that is first-class female news. It is good news, not as some imagine, because it means servants for those that can't do their own wort. It is good news for the country, because it means 1430 good mothers for large families of children. The country needs mothers, not "servant girls." Jerome (Idaho) News. Shakeups may come and shakeups may go, but apparently "Cap" D'An-nunzio D'An-nunzio isn't going to be jarred from Fiume until he feels like jarring loose.

Sugar men, and many other dealers for that matter, who are crying because be-cause quotations are coming down, and point out how much they are "losing" by the return to more normal levels, are in somewhat the same situation as the little boy who lost his penny. A kindly person, not unlike the consumer of today, gave the boy another penny. For a moment tears gave way to smiles, then came the deluge. "Well, you have a penny, what i-.s the matter now?" was asked. Between sobs the youngster replied. "If I had the one I lost, now I would have two." Caldwell Cald-well (Idaho) Tribune.
