KANSAS UNCLE IKE TOUCHLS THE WIRES THIS WEEK UNCLE IKE TOUCHLS THE WIRES THIS WEEK ER LONG THE LINE U VREEZUN Uncle Ike: Aain't I dun see you in chech Sunday,—what was you thinking er-bout? Umph-humph,—yas I was thar. An you want to know what I waz thinking er-bout. Well I waz-ent thinking er-bout noth-in much I recon;—twell I got ter thinkin erbout all what I done hear er-bout a whole lot git-on ther high rollers,—an being er-lowed to say Who is who, and What is which, and which is what;—and who shall so-sbi-ate with, nad have somethin to say to them; and who shant: and be 'lowed to judge and say Who somebody else is,—and what dey aint,—and sech-like. And so I got to thinkin,—like dat fellow long time er-go, when he say, "What win-er meat is dat feller done et,—what mek him feel so big-out, dat thar aint no-whers, whar he aint. Which mek him say to his-self,—dey's all got ter come by me, and tek dey hats off too, when dey comes. And the next thing I knew, I was thinking, "What an awful, awful mistake it is, for people to get into their heads an over-wrought notion of their own importance. It is then that they get an idea, that they take up all the room and that others exist by their grace. Then, that they become selfish, unfair, ignorant, false and dishonest with themselves even as well as with others, and assume the right to judge and to dictate to others; by reason of which, they have caused the bulk of the wails and woes of the world, and the heavy end of the sin and suffering which has cursed the world. It was of this class, that the greatest character who ever walked on earth spoke; when he said, "He that exhaulteth himself shall be humbled" The same class, for whom, and of whom, he at no time had a good word. But rather instead, at every turn in the road, gave them solar plexus blows. "Get that moat out of your own eye, so you can see whether there is any thing in mine." "Don't be hasty about judigg some body else, for in all such cases you are yourself guilty of more than you judge them to be." Those were a few of his first shots at them when he was young; while those he made latter in life, were wonderful indeed, for their force and effect. The case of the Magdelene, is a classic for all ages. It is applicable to all times, places and peoples. So full of truth—and ready application. It will fit-in, any where, and is always just the thing needed. This was easily the greatest pot-shot, he ever made; and he got every one in that flock of immaculate bats and owls; and did not leave a single one on the wing. And when he turned to that poor gal, frightened almost out of her wits, at thinking he would visit upon her some tirrible punishment; she pitifully cried, "Master,—wh—wha—what will you do with me." Let us stand uncovered at this distance even of 200 years, for I imagine that angels brought their wings to rest;—to hear him gently, kindly and sweetly say;—"Nothing my dear girl,—nothing at all, if here-to-fore, you have been forced or cajoled into indiscretions, by any of that bunch of immaculates; just right-about-face; and do the best you can to avoid them entirely,—for they are such as see in themselves every thing good, and naught but bad in others." And we are borne out in concluding that she followed his advice, for, on account of her wondrous kind and acceptable work and character; she was sainted by the church, and in order that she become not mixed with Mary the mother of Christ, she was sainted as Margaret. And strange as it may seem,—yet it is true,—I dropped in Sunday morning—not because I was seriously impressed by the rumor I had heard, for I had not thought enough of it, to learn the names of those who were presuming and assuming—nor would I learn them if I could. However, being there, it came to mind that I had heard something. And although I had, yet I have to say now, that I have not in many moons, or even that I have never, heard a better line argument, one more replete with clear, clean- THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER KANSAS CITY MINISTER AT FISK UNIVERSITY Recently Appointed Pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church Preaches on Sunday Dr. E. D. Wittenberg, newly appointed pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church of Nashville, preached on last Sunday morning at Fisk University. Rev. Wittenberg was pastor of Allen Chapel of Kansas City, Missouri, and was transferred last week to the Middle Tennessee Conference and given the charge at St. Paul Church. Dr. Wittenberg is a ripe scholar, and forceful speaker. His audience at Fisk was particularly pleased with his discourse, and it was a source of gratification to many when it became known that he was to be the new pastor of the local church. Rabbi Aaronsohn Visits During Week Fisk was also visited during the week by Rabbi Aaronsohn of Cincinnati, Ohio, who gave the student body an inspiring message at the morning chapel exercises. Rabbi Aaronsohn is a World War veteran, and had the misfortune of losing his sight in that great conflict. Nevertheless he still maintains his forcefulness and optimism. He was accompanied by Rev. Thomas L. Roberts, pastor of Grace Baptist Church, Nashville. Prof. W. Gray, of Atchison, attended the N. E. Convention of Public School teachers in our city last week. Mrs. Nannie Walton, a teacher in Leavenworth attended the teachers' convention. The Intelligence club had a good meeting, Friday. cut, and cogent reason, or a better exposition of the striking platitudes and beautiful incidents in the teachings and life of that great commoner, Christ, than I heard while there, it truly was such as to touch the deep springs of the soul, and to cause serious thinking. Then you will come again, will you not? O,—I—don't know, don't know. There is one thing I do know, that is a foregone conclusion, and that is, that I am full of mistakes, short-comings and imperfections. But for all that such is true, still I appreciate some degree of consistency in human affairs, and do not like incompatibility, and I seek to avoid causing unpleasantness or discomfiture to others. And I am quite sure that there would not be a great degree of dovetailing and coordination between me, and an assembly of persons who are of such calibre, as to find nothing suitable or acceptable in what I heard there. And who could, instead, look upon it with disapproval and aversion, from reasons of personal impotrance. I hardly think I care to bring myself up to such a level, its too much trouble. For it has been my observation, and painful experience, that in all those cases, be they public or private, where there are those, who think and feel that the earth was made for their individual benefit, and that everybody is due to render them service, while they are to be nothing more than an absorbing sponge, to receive from others, without a proper sense of appreciation:—that at the Rodeo, the round-up of life, where merit and worth is of consideration, they will always find, that although much may have been heaped and bestowed upon them, yet their estate is, "Naked and poor indeed". And then besides, there is that great big and unlimited field, in which is to be found, "That Great Horde Of The Unwashed" with whom one may mill, and do his bit, and not be hampered by any selfish or exacting conditions. In this great field, that wonderful character, The Christ, was alway found. In the cities and towns, he was always down around the river wards, among rough and tumble fishermen, in fact, he was one of them. In the country, he was up and down the creek banks, over rocks, hills, roads, and wooded mountain sides, always rough-shod and ready: If he was worthy of aid, to freely give give, And give him a hearty grip And wish him luck upon his trip, And remember that a poor tramp had to live." had to live. O! O! O! God, what a transcendently grand soul was his. It is a most pleasant diversion to think about him, though he was a Jew.—Uncle Ike.

UNDERHILL'S DEATH STOPS WHEELS OF CITY COLORED MAN'S WILL WINS POS-THUMOUS PRAISE Atlantic City, Nov. 13.—Residents of Atlantic County and reputed South Jersey headquarters of the Ku Klux Klan turned out last Saturday afternoon to the number of 2,500 to pay tribute to the late John W. Underhill, who, for years, had been the only Negro resident of the town. Underhill started his business career, as a barber and amassed such a small fortune in real estate that he amazed the villagers of May's Landing by leaving more than $100,000 which, he directed in his will, should be used for the improvement of the village and for a playground and gymnasium for the children. Methodist, Presbyterian and Roman Catholic clergymen took part in the funeral services, and county officials acted as pallbearers. Lawyers and judges came from nearby Jersey villages to pay tribute to the abilities and charities of the deceased Negro resident who was posthumously acclaimed May's Landing's greatest public benefactor. FAMOUS, LINCOLN HOSPITAL TRANSFERED TO CITY New York, Nov. 13.—The New York Supreme Court has just signed an order authorizing the trustees of Lincoln hospital, located at East 144th and Southern boulevard, to transfer the buildings and equipment to the City of New York, Lincoln Hospital is famous for having been the first large hospital for the exclusive training of Negro nurses. Under the terms of the transfer the City of New York will pay $750,000 which is to be used for the building of a new training school for nurses. Thus one of the famous landmarks in the science of healing has been preserved for a continuation of the work of turning out colored nurses of extraordinary training and skill, f whom there is a dearth in many parts of the country. Lincoln graduates may be found as far south as Florida and as far west as California, where they have taken a degree of scientific training, which, prior to the advent of Lincoln hospital, was not normally available to the colored nursing profession.

Concerning their musicianship, Miss Gautheir says: "It is not necessary to be interested in folk songs or primitive sources of American music in order to appreciate these singers, although to those who have that interest there is, of course, an added and unique appeal. But as sheer music—as art—the songs and singing of this quintet of Negro singers stand out as something that none of us can afford to miss. "I was fortunate enough to hear them in Paris last Spring; in fact, I traveled there from London for that express purpose; and there might well be a thrill of pride in the heart of every Amrican at the enthusiasm aroused there by the music of one group of American singers. It was not only the public that responded tremendously to their singing but the most demanding of the critics. It was the same in London and Berlin, and the crowds which were unable to hear as much as they craved of their music were no more enthusiastic in their praise than the musicians of most critical judgment. "I should like to take space to quote from the criticisms published in those cities the day after their appearance, but that must be unnecessary to convince the people of their own country of the merit and art and beauty in the concerts given by this group of musicians whose predecessors introduced the Negro spirituals to the world and whose talent deserves some even higher term than that. What is important for us here to realize is that the demand concert at Windsor Castle and their reception all through Europe were due, not to sentiment or to interest in an unusual type of music, but to the perfection of their rendition of songs which are imbued with the art of true music as well as the spontaneity that gives life to any art. New York City, as the music center of this country, must give these singers the tribute Europe has been so quick to bestow."

NEW SYNDICATE CONTROLS AFRICAN DIAMOND FIELDS London, Nov. 13.—Beginning on January 1, 1926, it is said that a syndicate, headed by the Barnato group of London and the Dunkelsoulhors of Germany will take over for five years the total diamond production of the famous De Beers, Premier, Jaegersfontein, Congo, and Angola mines of South Africa. From these fields three-quarters of the diamonds of the world are produced, of which America imported more than $73,000,000 worth last year. At present between 5,000 and 10,000 men are employed in the South African fields, at an average weekly wage of $30.00 per week. The new syndicate, it is said, will solicit the labor of South Africa natives, at the equalized wages anticipated by the British Ministry of Labor, and under vastly superior working conditions to those heretofore existing in the Congo and adjacent fields. Mrs. Bertha Williams and Mrs. Virginia Austin of Marshall, Mo., visited their sister, Mrs. Mary Jackson, several days last week, 2003 North Hallock avenue.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Fate Made Mockery of Writer's Theory Lord Gladstone was a great believer in early rising. "I always take seven hours' sleep," he once told a friend. "I should like to have eight. I hate getting up in the morning, and I hate to get up at the same time every morning. But one can do everything by habit, and when I have my seven hours' sleep I get up." The recent revival of this story has recalled that a century ago there appeared a book by A. C. Buckland, entitled "Letters on the Importance, Duty, and Advantages of Early Rising. Addressed to the Heads of Families, the Lover of Nature, the Man of Business, the Student, and the Christian." The author advocated, from personal experience, the reduction of the hours of sleep to the lowest number possible. A note by "The Editor," appended to the fifth edition of the book, laments the death of Mr. Buckland at the age of twenty-five. Those Jolly Deer The fresh air children in Center Hall were entertained at a dinner and supper on Thursday at Sunset clubhouse. Most of them saw from one to four deer, and it appears the little animals came out especially on dress parade for the benefit of the new invaders of their fields of sport, for they blinked their eyes until the children clapped their hands and waved an adieu with their bushy tails.—Center Hall Re- His Loss Zeke Yawkey of Rumpus Ridge was passing along in the big road when he came upon an acquaintance humped up on a stump by the track crying bitterly. "Iore feller!" said Mr. Yawkey sympathetically. "Understand you lost yore wife? "Eh-yah!" groaned the other. "But that was mighty nigh a week ago. It's my best dog I'm a-mournin' for now." —Kansas City Star. Deer Still Plentiful From time to time there is some agitation for the further protection of deer, but a recent survey shows that there are at least 1,000,000 wild deer in the United States. Each year about 75,000 are killed in the eastern and central western states alone. Minnesota kills about 20,000 deer each season and 8,000 were slain in New York in 1924.

COLLINS, Farm Gardens Inadequate Although 95 per cent of the 1,043 farms canvassed in North Dakota have a vegetable garden of some sort. only 60 per cent of these farms provide enough vegetables for themselves from their individual gardens. Some interesting facts disclosed were that one farm in four raised no beef cattle, one in eight had no poultry, one in four no hogs, one in seven no dairy cows and one in twenty no garden at all. The Persistent Grind Doctor Copeland of New York, says we should "exert ourselves lightly" in summer. Exerting ourselves to hold the job makes about the same demand on vitality and time in summer and in winter.—Louisville Times. Mere Man Criticizes Female "Tidying Mania" Man puts things out of the way whenever the occasion for doing so arises. For example, he finds his room in a disorderly state. Too many palrs of boots make themselves noticeable; and the brushes, gloves and pipes on the table would bring tears to a woman's eyes. He resolves to straighten things up, which means putting them away somewhere else. The superfluous boots are crowded under the bed; smaller articles are thrust into drawers; the cigarette ash is flung into the grate, and speedily his room is in order. Now, the result of this process is highly satisfactory. Not only have things been put out of the way, but their owner is in a position to find them again as soon as he wants them. The boots can be poked out from under the bed with a stick at any time. Similarly, the collar, gloves and pipes can be exhumed when required, says London Answers. Yet woman makes this masculine "tidying up" a subject for derision. She declares that it is the worst form of disorder. To put things away, as women put them away, is equivalent to 'complete concealment. The feminine desire to put things away in this manner amounts almost to a passion. Curiously enough, however, it is always the things of other people—husband or children—that she thus burles. Her own she wisely keeps where they are ready to hand. It is only the possessions of others that she considers out of place when they are visible. Her chief object in life is to put these things away where no one can see them, and she puts them away so thoroughly that she herself cannot remember where they are. Books and papers that a man is apt to need at any moment are always "tidied" away by woman with eager enthusiasm. Nothing, indeed, is safe from them. Even clothes are sometimes hidden so completely that their owner is convinced they must have been sold or stolen. Policemen in Armor Berlin police recently tried out with complete success the new suits of armor with which they have been equipped. A Russian murderer barricaded himself in a Gruenewald villa and defiled the world. Thereupon the police strapped on their armor, walked calmly up and battered down the door, stopping several revolver bullets without harm to themselves. The new armor is composed of small overlapping scales and of double thick metal. The outside is steel, the inside a lightweight metal. The complete uniform consists of a headpiece, breastpiece, body piece, backpiece, neck protector and leggings. There is also a shield which the police may carry in their hands to protect their faces. So resistant is the material that even steel bullets shatter on the scales or fall to the ground in crumbled bits. The German police believe they have found a complete protection against all small arms, including army rifles and machine guns. Breast, body and back pieces may be worn under ordinary clothing. The invention dates from 1921 and is now considered to have made good. Marketing Made Easier To relieve women shoppers of the bother of carrying parcels, a French inventor has designed a shopping basket which, when filled, can be wheeled like a baby carriage. The basket is of wicker construction and light enough to be carried easily. When it is empty the wheels of the carriage fit inside the basket and the handle swings down over the sides. When it is to be filled with bundles, says the Popular Science Monthly, the wheels are removed and the handles are swung back. Then the wheel axle is fitted and locked in brackets that are lowered at the bottom. The lid is locked down by the insertion of a pin through projecting loops, and the shopper is ready to wheel her purchases home. Bouquet of Bricks Charles Washington, an elderly colored man who is known in Democratic haunts in Indianapolis and whose chief attribute of fame rests in the fact that he drove a coach for Thomas Taggart when the latter was mayor of Indianapolis, recently called on Bowman Elder, asking a little favor. When the request had been complied with, the beaming negro, seeking to be complimentary, said: "Mr. Elder you sure look clean. Why, you must take a bath at least twice a week."—Indianapolis News. Twin Geese Hatched Mrs. J. J. Elliot of Viscount, Canada, set five goose eggs. Included in the setting was an egg that weighed half a pound. The large egg was set primarily as an experiment. When the eggs hatched Mrs. Elliot was agreeably surprised to find six fine goslings from the five eggs. The freak egg hatched twin goslings. — Pathfinder Magazine. Candles Made of Glass Candles have become so popular for purely decorative purposes in homes which are well equipped with electricity that manufacturers have designed a candle that will not wilt, break or chip. It is simply made of glass tubes filled with colored silk floss. The silk projects through a hole in the top of the tube, giving the effect of a fringed wick.

Though busts, statuettes and pictures of Lenin are more numerous in Russia than were ikons before the revolution, the central executive committee of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has announced $42,000 in prizes for the best designs for Lenin memorials in five cities. They will be erected in Moscow, Kharkov, Tiflis, Minsk and Leningrad. For each city prizes of $4,000, $2,500, $1,000 and two of $500 are offered. The winning memorial will be erected in a selected location and the other twenty designs may be used in other cities. The memorial may be a statue at least three times life size, a bas-relief at least one and one-half times life size or a building, column, arch or other structure that will not serve a utilitarian purpose. Well-known Russian artists will be invited to compete and will receive a $500 honorarium for each sketch, in addition to possible prizes. All other persons in the U. S. S. R. may compete on equal terms. Wireless Well Known Sig. Marconi, father of wireless telegraphy, thinks that radio got its first real start when Adam gave Eve "the glad eye." In a recent speech the veteran inventor, disclaiming modestly any part in the radio boom, said: "At times I am amused at the discussions as to who really invented wireless. To my mind wireless has existed from the moment when prehistoric man first understood the meaning of a smile of encouragement from the prehistoric girl." Later Sig. Marconi added that his contribution was the discovery that electric waves were capable of traveling and of being received across great distances. He added further that no one was more surprised than he at the tremendous advance of radio in the last few years, as well as the tremendous popular interest therein. "It is all quite beyond me," he concluded. Sig. Marconi is working on advanced experiments with very short wave lengths. Ocean Creature Big as a Small Warship The largest creature known, living or, extinct, is the sulphur bottomed whale, which reaches a length of 90 feet. Its weight has not been determined, but a torpedo boat of the same length and of the same underwater contour would displace 32 tons. All whales are carnivorous, but all the fishes—cuttle-fish and smaller creatures—upon which they feed are dependent ultimately upon plant life for their existence. How much vegetable material does it take to support a whale? If the approximate thirty tons represented by a very large whale were incorporated in the bodies of cattle, the latter would require for their support each day the amount of fats and carbo-hydrates present in the hay yielded by an acre of good meadow land in a whole season's growth. Had Him Coming and Going The rather ferocious-looking husband who had taken his wife to the seaside scowled at an amateur photographer and rumbled in a threatening bass voice: "What d'ye mean, photographin' my wife? I saw ye when ye done it." The man replied gently: "You're mistaken, really! I wouldn't think of doing such a thing." "Ye wouldn't, eh?" sald the husband, still savagely. "And why not? She's the handsomest woman on the beach." Warns of Gas Poison Warning has been given the bureau of mines that gas heaters for domestic use must be regulated with regard to the proportion of air and gas used to avoid giving off of poisonous carbon monoxide fumes. Calling attention to "numerous deaths and asphyxiations that have occurred in many cities due to carbon monoxide" from gas heaters, the bureau gave reasons for incomplete gas combustion which might result in formation of carbon monoxide gas.

DORSEY GREEN, Attorney for Plaintiff. (First published No. 6, 1925.) THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE TRUTH TABLETS Better a poor smile than none. Laws are vain without morals. Even the blind can look for work. Youth holds no society with grief. Adversity makes firm friendships. A clear conscience la never under a cloud. It doesn't fatten a hungry man to make him laugh. Nursing a grouch is a poor way to make it get well. A broad mind shows its breadth by not being envious. There are plenty of manly men—give them a chance. Positive, bet; comparative, better; superlative, better not. Many a girl who isn't pretty makes up for it in other ways. Blessed is the good listener, for he maketh a good husband. The hand that follows intellect can achieve.—Michelangelo. The people who never make mistakes are highly uninteresting. A pleasant lie is always more welcome than a disagreeable truth. The man who has a struggle for a lying acquires a superior education. "Love rules the camp, the court, the grove," except that divorce rules the court. Lawyers are plentiful that but few criminals get a chance to plead guilty. Best of all psychoanalysts is a man's conscience. It knows and he knows it knows. It sometimes worries a woman because some particular man isn't worrying about her. Conceit of a young man of twenty doesn't disappear when he's forty; he has only hit it. It is difficult to find a man who is willing to hold the ladder of success while you ascend it. Besides an Old Folks' home, there should be an Old Fogies' home. Few the cities that don't need one. And Most Fishes Are A California banker said on his recent visit to New York: "California is the most beautiful state in the Union. Think of our girls. Nearly all the movie stars are California girls. And think of our fish. If you could see, young man, our jeweled fish swimming in the transparent waters at Catalina among; the pink and the green and cream-colored corals! Why, we actually have in California fish that blush." The banker chuckled at his own enthusiasm. "Of course, it's no wonder they blush," he said, "considering the bathing suits some of our beautiful sirens wear." Snakes Menace India : Snakes form the deadliest menace to the people of India, according to statistics recently issued here. While the death roll attributed to the depredations of the large jungle beasts were only 3,000 last year, snakes were responsible for the deaths of nearly 20,000 people. Bengal tops the list of states, with 4,000 persons killed, while the Punjab had only seven of its inhabitants poisoned. Bread Creates "Pep" A great scientist tells the value of bread as food. In McCall's Magazine, Dr. E. V. McCullum, of the school of hygiene and health of Johns Hopkins university, announces: "We eat for two distinct purposes. One is to keep the body healthy; the other to provide energy. We eat some foods primarily for their energy values. Bread is one of the latter foods." MR.

SLAUGH IF YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLE WITH FEATHERHEAD CALL ON US—WE'LL STICK WITH YOU WE'VE JUST BEEN DOWN STAIRS GIVING HIM A PIECE OF OUR MIND L.F. VAN ZELM — Modesty never shows up well in the dark. Brevity is the soul of wit, but it isn't wit. Simplicity, of all things, is the hardest to be copied. Nothing spreads so fast as new slang in a little town. It is the gullit, not the scaffold, which constitutes the shame. Study will really swell the head—especially over the eyes. Fools ofttimes rush in where wise men would be afraid of the police. A "youthful prodigy" is easier to endure than one who thinks he is. A man worries over his digestion and a woman over her complexion. No man after missing a target can heartily congratulate another who hits it. It's a wise woman who can smile at a compliment and immediately forget it. We seldom criticize the extravagance of others when we are invited to the party. Don't talk about it; one feels the best things without speaking of them.—Auerbach. The man whose only thought is to contribute to the happiness of others is near sanctification. The smaller the caliber of mind, the greater the bore of a perpetually open mouth.—Holmes. Riches often fly away from the honest man and light on the perch erected by the other fellow. If our neighbors would do things as we think they should, it would be much easier to love them. Mule "Swap"' Brought Eleven years ago Joseph Beach of Caldwell, N. J., drove his balky mule, Maud, down the streets of the village and met John Gosman. They stopped to talk. Then Gosman noticed the fidgeting Maud. "How'll you swap, Joe?" asked Gosman. "Can't say, John," replied Beach. "What you got?" "Got a piece of land down Florida way; Palm Beach or West Palm Beach, some such a place," Gosman answered. "Worth $75, you reckon?" Beach asked. "Guess so, let's swap," Gosman replied. And they signed the papers. Beach is departing for West Palm Beach soon to look at the property, for which he has been offered a small fortune. Maud is dead.—New York Herald Tribune. Usually Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is conducting a spiritualistic exhibition in London. Here may be seen letters written by spooks, spirit tambourines that have been materialized, spirit photographs galore, spirit gloves, drawings and so on. Sir Arthur was showing an American lady over the exhibition last month. Pointing to a photograph, he said: "In a seance in Oxford that spirit pulled my hair." "Usually," said the lady, "they pull your leg, don't they?"—Detroit Free Press. Dense "Is that clock right?" asked the visitor, who had already outstayed his welcome. His hostess groaned. "The Visitor," he remarked. What a curious name to give a clock. His hostess ventured an explanation. "You see," she cooed sweetly, "we call it that because we can never make it go." And even then he failed to see the point. By L.F. Van Zelm © Western Newspaper Union WANT ANY IN COURT US, FEATHERHEAD SAY, YOU FELLOWS LISSEN MY ARGUMENT WITH THAT SH FEATHERHEAD DOWN STAIRS REACH THE COURTS - NOW HOW DO YOU FELLOWS STAND THIS? Don't employ evil means and expect good results. Many a bull at the stock exchange is a bear at home. When a wildower goes courting, there is no trifling. It's often unwise for a man to be as funny as he can. That man lives twice who lives the first life well.—Herrick. Football makes demons of some men and angels of others. The best some people can do is to express somebody, else's opinions. Without charity for human defects self-esteem would be very scarce. band; the bad ones are all self-made. There is usually a vast difference between a man's worth and what he is worth. If some people practice humility it is because they are looking for the underhold. All things might come to the man who waits if starvation didn't get there first. When money talks a man seldom troubles himself to investigate the truth of its remarks. A milliner must also be paid for what she knows—not put a yellow ribbon on a green hat. A man will be forgiven for not being pretty if he will only strive to be clean—and succeed. The widow's husband has been burled, but the grass widow's husband has merely been mislaid. No Wages Could Pay "The average mother with four or five children," has been under scrutiny by an investigator in home economics, says the Syracuse Post-Standard. He finds that, in the course of a year, she makes the equivalent of 1,095 loaves of bread, 50 cakes and 750 ples, prepares meat which if assembled, would make one or two cows and about six hogs, peels 5,110 potatoes, makes 1,200 beds, dusts 7,500 chairs and sews 50 to 100 garments, exclusive of mending and darning and the sewing on of buttons. The gross amount of dishwashing and a number of other activities is not computed. In her spare time she may do the family wash. This hardly seems to cover the ground. Mothers can be recalled who do all that and then some. They do it without any claim to knowledge of modern efficiency systems. Their objective is work performed and they go far in its attainment. The investigator is endeavoring to contribute an answer to the question: Shall mother be paid a salary? That question, however, once answered in the affirmative, is productive of another just as difficult of answer: Can we pay her what she is worth?

She began to crack up Arlen, but I interrupted her. "I suppose you're pretty well acquainted with Shakespeare' I said. "She laughed and flicked a bread pellet at me. "No, you don't' she said. 'You can't string me! Shakespeare's dead.'" The Improvement Jones goes to his favorite links every summer for a golfing holiday. This year, being fortunate enough to secure the service of the caddle who had assisted him the summer before, Jones said to him, "Well, Jimmie, do you notice any improvement since last year?" "Yes, sir," replied the youngster. "I see you've had your clubs cleaned."—Boston Transcript. What Is a Corn Club? The method employed to help the farmer raise better corn was the subject for discussion in the geography class. In answer to the question, "What is a corn club?" one of the girls replied: "It's the cob with no corn on it." Friday, November 13, 1925. ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE Case.
