| Adoption of a National Constructive
Agricultural Policy--Plans for a National
Agricultural Chamber of Commerce
The American Cotton association,
both through the press, by personal
representatives and through cor
respondence, has used every effort
to have a strong national agricul
tural policy adopted, pointing out
tnat this is one of the most im
portant questions facing our nation
today; that through larger appro
priations, the scope of the United
States department of agriculture
should be greatly widened so as to
enable it to protect, upbuild and fos
ter our agricultural interests, en
couraging increased production in all
t lines, thus placing our agricultural
• interests 'upon an efficient, economic
and business basis, removing the
enormous unnecessary loss.
It has been pointed out that in
Holland a farmer receives 97 1-2 per
cent of the amount paid by the con
sumer, which condition exists prac
tically throughout Europe, while in
America the producer only receives
50 per cent of the amount paid by
tbtf consumer, and for cotton he re
a far smaller proportion.

i>e removed in Justice to the pro
, ducer and consumer. In this work
the association has emphasized in
the strongest terms the enormous
decrease of the population in the
rural sections, due to the movement
of people from the country into the
towns and cities, and as a result of
these efforts, the American Cotton
association is receiving the strongest
indorsement of leaders regardless of
section.
Among the letters and telegrams
received indorsing the stand made
by the American Cotton association,
are messages from leaders, not only
-- indorsing this position in the strong
< est terms and emphasizing the tfre
mendoua importance to the entire na
tion of a strong national constructive
agricultural policy with larger ap
propriations, but in addition to this,
the president of the American Cot-,
ton association has been urged to
take all necessary steps for speedily
organizing a national agricultural
' chamber of commerce, it being point
ed out that such an organization
would render an almost unthinkable
service in the upbuilding of agricul
tural interests nation-wide. It has
also been pointed out that the Amer
ican Cotton association could broad
en its scope so as to embrace the

Old-Fashioned School T eacher Ends
Her Life, D eafness the Cause of Act
Luna Bemis, an old-fashioned
school teacher, died in her band box
apartment at 1245 Amsterdam ave
nue. Miss Bemis was forty-five years
old and she had been teaching in the
New Yosk public schools for many
vears. She died of gas asphyxiation
, and the police theory is that she
committed suicide, arrived at be
cause it is very unlikely that four
gas jets on a cooking stove and a
■ fifth on a lighting fixture could have
been opened simultaneously, by acci
dent.
For twenty-four years Miss Bemis
had lived only for other folks’ chil
dren. Her tender love for her classes
did not halt when the clock marked
the dismissal hour. She took them
for little trolley trips into the coun
try and collected flowers and butter
flies with them.
i A year ago Miss Bemis resigned.
She had been troubled with increas
ing deafness, which made it difficult
for her to teach. Doctors told her it
might be cured, if ,she would rest
for a long time. So she retired from
the class-room and took to visiting
doctors and trying cures; but she
did not let go of her children. They

NEW YORK.—After Mr. and Mrs.
Samuel Heuer, their thre children,
and Leon Levy, a boarder, had es
\ caped from a third floor fire, Mrs.
Heuer exclaimed she had left 5500 in
cash and a 5750 diamond ring under
a mattress in her bedroom. It was
believed the fire had wrecked the
apartment by that time, but Mrs.
Heuer wrapped a towel about her
head and ran toward the burning
staircase.
Levy ran after her and said he
would try to get the valuables. He
took the towel and ran to the third
floor landing, where he was met by
heavy smoke and flames. Choking,

to him to hold on while a ladder w r as

was confined to the third flbor.

Commerce. It has been clearly point
ed out that such an organization does
not exist in America today, although
the need of same is self-evident.
The suggestion regarding the for
mation of this organization came
from men of national reputation,
who have offered to not only co-op
erate and assist in forming this larg
er organization, but to assist finan
cially, It being pointed out that
such an organization will have a tre
mendous scope and would necessitate
the management of the very best
experts to be secured for these vari
ous departments. It is urged that
the agricultural and commercial in
terests »of our nation must concen
trate and correlate their efforts for
the purpose of meeting the conditions
which have followed the world war.
These leaders have assured us that
such an organization would have the
hearty support of not only the great
agricultural leaders, but the great
commercial leaders throughout the
nation, who realize more than ever
today the vital necessity of upbuild
ing and protecting our agricultural
interests.
These various suggestions are now
receiving the careful attention of the
officials of the American Cotton as
sociation, and special conferences will
be arranged for to discuss this mat
ter. Which the association realizes
is of such tremendous importance.
The sustaining membership plan
adopted by the American Cotton as
sociation is meeting with strong sup
port. not only from the farmers and
business men of the cotton belt, but
from business men in the various
commercial centers of America.
Through this plan the association
will be made one of the most pow
erful organizations in this country.
The president of the association has
positively refused to permit any re
quests to be made for financial as
sistance through sustaining member
ships, or otherwise, until he had been
absolutely assured that the American
Cotton association had rendered a
service that would absolutely Justify
such action, and in addition, until
the prosperity of the association was
assured beyond a shadow of doubt.
The subscribers to the sustaining
membership plan will be published
through the press from time to time.

looked like an art gallery of sorts.
Luna Bemis went to a great spe
cialist who told her very gently but
quite decidedly that she could never
yegain her hearing. She did not say
much about it to the neighbors, but
she had a big party of her children.

Harry Miller, a neighbor, held a
dumb waiter conversation with Miss
Bemis. She told him she was going
to spend a quiet holiday. A little
afterward he heard her singing in
her kitchenette. She wrns singing “A

Miller smelled gas and called in the

of the kitchenette. Her l»?ad rested

Girl Learning to Drive
Automobile Is Killed
Louise McCullough, fiifteen years
old, of 410 drive, New
York, died from injuries received
when she lost control of the automo
bile she was learning to drive and
collided with a tree on Pelham Park
way near White Plains avenue. The
car was overturned and its three oth
er occupants, one of whom was the
girl’s mother, Mrs. Louise McCul
lough, were pinned beneath it.
Miss McCullough died from a
punctured lung shortly after she
reached Fordham hospital. Her
mother is in a critical condition from
a fractured right arm and internal
injuries. Petro Holanda, the negro
chauffeur, and Edwin Elser, a cousin
of the McCulloughs, escaped with
lacerations and bruises.
According to Holanda, Miss Mc-

speed when she swerved to avoid a
' boy who had run into the road ahead
of her. The car ran up on the side

SABBATH SCHOOL
LESSON
For July 25, 1920
II Sam. ii:l-7 and 5:1-5
BI DB. MABICN M’H. HULL
Golden Text: “Trust in Jehovah
with all thy heart, and lean not upon
thine own understanding.” Proverbs
3:5.
Did you ever know a young man
thirty years old who had been
through all the experiences of Da
vid? Think this through; it will give
you a new appreciation of the man.
Chosen of God while yet a boy, and
annointed by Samuel for the highest
office in the nation; continuing as
one of the laboring classes, tending
his father’s sheep in the mountains;
communing here, however, with God.
and developing the talent that made
him the most noted musician in the
world; fighting Goliath and other
Philistines, and doing military ex
ploits. that were regarded by Saul as
impossible, until his praises as a
military leader were on the lips of
every man, woman and child in the
nation; hunted like a wild animal
from rock to cave, from Philistra to
Moab, from wildernes to city; ex
iled from home; suspected by friend
and foe alike; fearless in the face of
any foe. but patient, and gentle, and
kindly in his dealings when his ene
mies were at his mercy—this was
David at thirty years of age. Has
he a parallel in history?
But David has his dark days. After
sparing Saul’s life the second time
he lost his grip on God for a time
and took things into his own hands.
He went back into Gath into the
country of his nation’s enemy, and
made Achish believe that he was his
friend. He could not be the friend
of a Philistine and an Israelite at
the same time. He fooled Achish but
made a mess of his life at that time.
Among other things he married Maa
chah, the daughter of the king of
Geshur. She was the mother of Ab
solom; and you may imagine some of
the heartaches that Absolom caused
him in later years. When the Amali
kites raided Ziklag and took away all
the women and children, including
all of his wives too, his own men
turned against him and wanted to*
kill him. But David had recognized
before this the mistake that he had
made in trying to direct his own life,
so he leaned no longer on his own
understanding. But strenthened his
heart in God. God spared him from
his own followers and gave to him
the victory—he got back every wom
an and child and a vast amount of
booty besides.
God spared him from a more dan
gerous position also. He had gotten
himself into a place where he would
either have had to be a traitor to his
own nation and fight against his own
people, over whom he had been an
nointed to be king—and thus he
would have been a traitor to God
also—or he would have had to turn
against the *• Philistines and be a
araitor to'AThish who trusted him
implicitly. God delivered him from
this predicament, into which he had
gotten himself, by making the Phil
istine lords suspcious of him and
refusing to let him go into the bat
tle. He had no peace though until
he heard how the battle fared on Gil
boa. Pie had been tw r o days back
from the capture of the Amalakites,
and had had no news. They were
days of anxiety for him, and I can
believe that he was much in prayer
that God would give the victory to
Israel, for his heart was still with,
his people, and Saul, the Lord’s an
nointed, as well as Jonathan his
friend were concerned in their suc
cess.
God’s Answer
Finally the news came. An Amali
kite runner brought it. The battle
had gone against Israel. He had
seen Saul pierced with a spear, mor
tally wounded, but not dead, and
realizing that there was no hope for
him, he himself had put an end to
his suffering. (Some think that this
was a lie on his part, made up to
gain David’s favor; it may have been,
but David believed him and slew him
on the strength of his own state
ment.) Jonathon had been slain, all
but one of Saul’s sons had fallen;
there had been a great slaughter of
the people, Israel had suffered defeat
and many of her cities had been
taken.
This was God’s answer to David’s
prayer! But wait. David poured out
his heart in the song of the bow,
which he had the nation learn and
sing often, to commemorate the good
things of Saul and Jonathon. (In 2
Sam. 1:18, the words “the use of”
are in italics, showing that they have
been- supplied by the translators. All
agree that this should be, “also he
bade them teach the children of Ju
dah the song of the bow.” Study it
and see in it the nobility of David.
He forgotten everything ugly in
Saul’s life, particularly bis cruel per
secution of himself, and is singing
only of his lovely qualities. Is not
such an one a better man to be king
over Israel than Saul? Is not God
answering David’s prayer for his
people by removing an unworthy
leader to make room for a worthy
one to lead them? Would you have
fasted and mourned a whole day
upon hearing the defeat of one who
had been making your life a deso
lation? Would you -have punished
.severely the one who had claimed to
have caused your persecutor’s de
feat? Would you have taught your
children a song commemorating your
persecutor’s good points, and utterly
ignoring all his faults?
Now David did not know this; but
when the Philistines came up against
him, Saul inquired of the Lord and
when he could get no answer he con
sulted a fortune teller, a spirit med
ium (she may have used a ouija
board at times) —and God had no
further need of a man of this kind
as the head of His people. In set
ting him aside, in allowing him and
his to be destroyed. He opened the
way for David, the man of His
choosing, and thus, but in a differ
ent way from what David thought,
God was answering David’s prayer
for his people Israel.
David had learned his lesson well.
He would not lean upon his own un
derstanding again; he had made such
a muddle of it. So he inquired of
the Lord as to what he must do—
should he go up to any of the cities
of Judah? And God’s answer was,
Go up. David needed more detail
though; he had lost all confidence in
himself, and would take no step
without God’s direction. Into what
city of Judah should he go? And
God’s answer came, “Unto Hebron.”
The Annointing
So to Hebron they went —David
and his two wives and his men. It
is worthy of note that David had
influence enough with his men to
bring them and keep them, for they
dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
There the men of Judah came and
annointed David king over Judah.
They were convinced that he was
the only one who could lead them in
this time of distress because of the
Philistines; they were sure that he
had been annointed by God to lead
them, and their annointing acknowl
edged God’s previous choice.
His first act as king was one of
kindness. He heard of the way that
the men of Jabesh-Gilead had shown
their gratitude to Saul for his kind
nesses to them when he had‘first be
gun to reign, and David rewarded
them and prayed God’s blessing on
them. It was good politics, but that
was not primarily in David's mind. It
showed the friends of Saul that he
had no grudge against Saul, but that
was not his first consideration. It
was the big heartedness of this
young man of thirty; he was wise in
winning men to him, because he was
generous in giving praise where
praise was due, even though it be a
kindness done to his persecutor, and
after all David had the greatest re
spect for God’s annointed.
But David's life was not now to
be a bed of roses. Bbner and Cush
the Benjamite, and Doeg the Ed
monite, were left. It was not hard
for them to believe that David was
a traitor to his nation, nor hard for
them to convince the other tribes of
it. Loyalty to Saul and to the cause
that he represented was their plat
form, and so they rallied around Ish
bosheth, the only surviving son of
Saul. War between the house of
David and the house of Saul went
on continually, but the former waxed
stronger and the latter grews weaker
every day. At the end of two and
a half years Ishbosheth was foully
murdered; but it was not until he
had alienated the strongest Os his
; followers. Abner resented his insin
. nations, and turned to David. David
i received him, but not until he had
I made good by restoring to him
; Michal, Saul’s daughter, and his first
wife, who had been taken from him
■ and given to Phaltiel. Abner then
enlisted the support of the other
tribes, and had just left David when

Violinist Paddles 650
. Miles in Fifteen Days
Preston W. Bryant beached his
canoe on the shores of the Hudson
river at Two Hundred and Fifth
street and rested after his trip of
650 miles from Toronto, Canada, to
New York. He brings greetings
from Thomas L. Church, mayor of
Toronto, to Mayor Hylan.
For ten months in each year Mr.
Bryant is a violinist. In the other
two he paddles his canoe over watery
spaces that no one has ever pad
died before. Last year he crossed
Lake Ontarion in his sixteen-foot
cruiser type canoe.
This year he started from Toronto
on June 1 and made his first stop
at Hamilton. From where he headed
for Port Dauhousie. A storm came
up and the life guards hurried out
to rescue him, but he kept on. His
route from there was through the
Welland canal to Lake Erie and
across Lake Erie to Buffalo, down
the Niagara river to Tonawanda,
through the Barge canal to T*roy and
down the Hudson to New York.
The trip took him twenty days,
but he traveled on only fifteen,
averaging a little more than forty
three miles a day. It cost him S3O.
Aunt Continues Fight to
Get Child From Mother
Mrs. Katrina Paxton, of Chicago,
refuses to accept as final the action
of Justice Tierney, who last week
dismissed a writ of habeas corpus
which she swore out through her
New York attorney to get the cus
tody of her three-and-a-half-year-old
nephew; Constant L. Fliermans, 111,
The child is in New York in the cus
tody of his mother, Mrs. Henrjca
Bernardina Collet-Fliermans.
Mrs. Paxton applied to Justice
Davis for an order directing Mrs.
Collet-Fliermans to show cause why
the action of Justice Tierney in dis
missing the writ should not be va
cated and the mother be restrained
from removing the child from the
jurisdiction of the court pending fur
ther legal action by the aunt to get
tike boy.
*Mrs. Collet-Fliermans was never
married to Constant L. Fliermans,.
Jr., father of the child, it is alleged.’
He is a wealthy resident of Chicago
and is now in Holland. Mrs. Collet-
Fliermans, as she has been known,
is a native of The Hague, where she
met Fliermans.
The mother turned her child over
to Mrs. Paxton, that her son might
be assured of good care and train
ing. She later repudiated her agree
ment, went to Chicago and in habeas
corpus proceedings got her child back
for a period of forty-five days. The
attorney for Mrs. Paxton said he
feared Mrs. Collet-Fliermans would
kidnap her son and take him from
the jurisdiction of the court.
Switchman a Suicide,
Worried Over Wreck
HARTFORD, Conn.—Peter Caston
guay, a railroad switchman who was
on duty when an express train was
in an accident in the yards of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad here, committed suicide re
cently.
Inquiry made by the coroner’s of
fice indicated that the man had wor
ried over the wreck, complaining
that an effort was being made to fix
the responsibility upon him. At the
office of Division Superintendent
Mitchell it was stated that Caston
quay did not return to work after
the wreck, and nothing was heard
of him until word of his death was
received.
The wreck cost the life of Engin
eer Ralph Gray. of Springfield, i
Mass,, and injured several others. j
Joab treacherously slew him to !
avenge his brother’s’ death. David
was the chief mourner at his funeral i
and thus again by his treatment of j
a former foe won the hearts of those i
who had opposed him.
Finally the other tribes were con
vinced that David was no foe, but
their friend, and the annointed of
Jehovah to be their king. So they
gathered at Hebron to annoint him,
giving three reasons for so doing:
First, that he was bone of their bone
—he had always been that, but they
had to be convinced that he was not
against them; second, that he it was
who had led them out to victory
against the Philistines—and surely
they needed such a leader now: third,
that he was the annointed of the
Lord—why didn’t they think of this
seven and a half years before? That
one reason was enough, regardless of
the others, and should have been put
first. They tacked it on like some
people do their religion, while it
should have been their supreme and
prime and sufficient reason.
But they annointed David king |
over all Israel, and thus David real- ,
ized God’s plan for him by waiting |
on God.
David has a message for each of !
us today, as a result of his life up •
to this point. If any one thing was i
characteristic of him, it was his mis- i
trust in himself, and his trust in
God. He made mistakes when he for
got it; he did exploits as long he
realized it. So then heed the words
of his wise son when he said, “Trust
in Jehovah with all thine heart; and
lean not upon thine own understand

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
What should I say when a boy
ask me to go anywhere’ and I can’t
go? What must I do when a boy tells
me he loves me? What should I do
when a boy or any one says I am
pretty. I had a boy to put hi s arms
around me one time and I slapped
him. I did it before I thought, but
am not sorry for it. Did Ido right?
I told him he had better not do it
again. How should I act toward boys
to let them know I try to do and
want to be a nice girl?
Should I let my boy friend have
my ring? Should I Wave at boys?
Does it look bad for a girl my age
to sit in a car all p. m. with a boy
at an all-day singing? What can 1
do to keep my sister and brother
from quarreling? Is there any harm
in using slang words before boys?
What must a girl say when she is
introduced to a boy or girl? When
a girl and boy goes anywhere, which
should go in first and sit down? Is
it all right for a boy to tease a girl
about another boy? Should you ac
cept chewing gum from boys and
chew it in their presence? Does it
look nice for a girl to nod her head
to any one instead of speaking?
Should I let boys have my picture?
I am going to Cartersville and. At
lanta to see some relatives of mine
in uly. What should I fix to carry
and wear that’s inexpensive.
Thanking you very,
VERY MUCH.
I will give you this name be
cause you failed to sign yourself
anything. I want the letters I
receive to be signed with the
writer’s own name, with a fancy
name for the paper, and unless
they sign their names I am not
going to answer. All the letters
I receive are treated confident
ially, and I destroy them after
printing the answers. Any one
who is afraid of giving their
name, needn’t expect a reply to
any letters they write me.
When a boy asks you to ’go
anywhere and you find it impos
sible to go, say you appreciate
the invitation, but you cannot
accept, and give your reason.
When a boy tells you he loves
• you and you have a reason to be
lieve he does and you do not,
thank him in a polite manner
for bestowing his affections up
on you, do not ridicule him. It
may sound silly to you, but very
sacred to' him. Men do not al
ways mean what they say. If
any one tell you you are pretty,
do not simper and laught, take
it as it is meant. More than one
girl has been made a fool of
just because she swallowed hard
all the flattery that was baited
out ’to her. You know what you
look like. You need not use the
knock down and drag out
“method” when boy tries to hug
you, but you can put him in his
place by "your cool manner and
being a lady. There is no way
to act before boys except the
right way, so they will have the
correct and highest opinion of
you. Never let them become
familiar with you. Never let
them kiss add hug you. Never let
them say anything in your pres
ence, unfit for other ears. You
can do this by leaving theni and
not mixing wit hthem again. If
you would have boys respect
you. do nothing to give them a
lead. Waving, and winking and
hollering at boys and trying to
flirt with them, is mighty poor
taste and you will lay yourself
liable to insults if you pursue
that idea of a good time. At any
public place, such as church or
the theater, or movies, the lady
goes first. Letting boys have
your picture is poor taste, a pic
ture should be given only to the
closest of friends and relatives
• only. A girl should be very
careful about this one thing.
Traveling calls for simple frocks,
and things which can be easily
packed. You had better use
your own judgment in this line.
I am coming to you for advice. I
am a girl of 24. Am in love with
a boy 23, and he went to France and
wrote me every week while he was
gone and he said he loved me dear
ly and wouldn’t go with no other
girl until he came back. Then he
began to go with other girls and
won’t pay me no attention, although
he will speak to me, but that’s all.
He won’t talk to me. If someone has
talked to him to cause him to do this
way will he ever care for me again?
I believe someone has turned him
from me, I know he once loved me.
and I know I care more for him than
any one else. What can I do to gain
his love back? Should he or I speak
first?
Please print this in The Journal
at once. A PEACH.
The problems of “love” is
very great sometimes, and there
is no telling what will happen
or which turn it will take. I
» would have to have the judgment
of Solomon (and I think I am a
poor substitute) to solve the
eternal question ever before me.
But if this boy has meant a
great degl to you in the past, and
you are sure he loved you, and
you are at a loss to understand
his present attitude, and it con
cerns you so much, I think the
best plan would be to make it a
point to see him and have a
heart to heart talk with him.
There is nothing like knowing
how one stands, and I believe to
see him and find out will be the
best thing, clear up the mystery
at any rate. But do not by any
means run after him or place
yourself in a position to have
him talk about you. If he hasn’t
the manhood in him to act on the *
square, he isn’t worthy of your
love.
This is the second time I have
come to you for advice and have not
seen it in The Journal, but hope you
will print it this time, for I am very
much troubled. I am a motherless
girl of 1 8 years, and am in love with
a boy of 24. • I have known him for
a number of years. He asked me to
marry him about two years ago. and
I told him to wait a year or two, but
he would not wait. He went and mar
ried another girl and they soon part
ed and now he said he don’t believe
she was the right one for him. and
still wants me and I am promised
to him and he is get a divorce soon,
but my father found it out and is
doing all he can against it. He says
it would be a sin. and a shame to
marry a man with a living wife,
even if he has got a divorce. Please
tell me if it is wrong to marry him.
Father said he will never be any
good, of course his people are of a
very low grade family and are not
thought much of. but he talks like
he wants to do some good and don’t
you think if I would go on and try
to do right and make something
that he would be all right and not
take after his people so much? Os
course father is as good to me as he
can be and always gives me good ad
i vice and never tells me a lie, but he
; might have the wrong idea. So please
i tell me just 'what you think of this
■ and as soon as you. Thanking
you jn advance. LILLIE.
I If you refused the young man
when he first asked you to marry
i him, and he married some one
else, it is absolutely wrong for
you to come between he and his
wife. The marriage contracts
reads thusly: “For better or
worse until death do part,” and
he stood before his maker, and
made that vow, and you are help
ing him to break it. That is a
sin. and you will never be happy
w ’hh him, for if he will forget
the duty he owes to the woman
he has already married, he will
break his vows to you. Give him
up. Jet his image fade from your
mind, your father is telling you
the truth and abide by his ad
vice.
Dear Miss Mary Meredith: I am
coming to your for good advice. lam
a young stepmother over three chil
dren, two boys and one girl. I have
been married nearly eight years. I
I have been good to the children all the
, time and now I am not able to do
i anything hardly. I have been sick
j for a year. The boys treat me very
! well, but the girl treats me meanly.
I She won’t listen at - nothing I tell
i her. I can show her how to wash
| dishes and she will get mad and
half wash the dishes and stove ves
sels, and when I go to cook I will
have to wash everything over. She
is so unclean until I cannot eat her
cooking. I have whipped her and
have done everything in this world
to break her. I can’t do anything
with her. She gets worse all the
time. Her father gets mad at me
' | and tells me I try to boss too much.
IHe upholds her. I don’t think he
11 cares anything for me or he wouldn’t
I let her treat me this way. I have to
II sit down to do the cooking and dish
1 j washing. The girl is thirteen years
I old. I married when I was just a
: ; young girl. I hope all of the girls
’ I will take a lesson from this and
| not marry a widower. I hope to see
1 j this in print next week’s Journal,
for lam in trouble. From a
BROKEN-HEARTED MOTHER.
I had a stepmother, too, long
ago, and while she was strict, we
learned to love her, because she
was kind. It took a long time,
but she won out in the end. Chil- -
dren, even though they are very
young, get an idea that a step
mother is an ogre (and some of
' them are), but at the same time
children are much to blame. They
are led to think all sorts of
things by what others tell them.
' ; Consequently the stepmother has
| a hard time. But love will over
come many obstacles, and you
might be able to rule the girl
' I with kindness. Try to be a com-
■ ‘ panion to her; do not scold her
; for every little thing she does
j wrong—that is not .any way to
i raise children. Scolding is sim
i ply awful. But if she fails to
wash the dishes right, stay there
with her if she has to do them
five or six times until she sees it
is useless to do any way but the
right way. Brides, do not put
so much work on her. Give her
certain duties to, perform, and
when she has done them to your
satisfaction, let her have some
time to play. Do not always be
calling her to do a task, but map
out certain things and see that
she does them well. You will
have a hard time, but you can
gain their love if you will try.
It may be an uphill climb, but .
nothing worth working for comes
easy in this world. You have
complained to your husband so
much, I guess, until he has grown
used to you. That should never
be. Make it less often, and when
you do say it, say it and stick
to it. Let him depend on your
w o r d.
Senescence
(The outward and visible signs of
age are merely indicative of what
is going on within the body. . . .
Subjectively there is a gradual les
sening of the emotions —of joy. of
the zest for adventure, of the pas
sions; one by one their heights de
crease in altitude. The appetite for
food becomes less keen, and the
desire for physical activity less in
sistent. —Dr. Stanley M. Rinehart in
the Satevepost.)
Darling. I am growing old;
Signs of age are manifold;
Such as, on my bean engraven.
Silver threads among the ravfen.
Yet, my darling, I’ve more fun
Than I had at twenty-one;
Ahd my love for you is more
Than it was at twenty-four.
Darling, I am growing old.
(As you maybe have been told).
And, although I shake and dodder,,
I absorb a lot of fodder,
I can do more gastric tricks
Than I could at twenty-six.
Darling, I could write all day,
But I’m going out to play.
Bird Dodges Bullet’s
Scream as a Woman
MULLIGAN, Ireland. —This dis
trict has been “haunted” by a,n awe
inspiring “spiritfowl” which (accord
ing to the inhabitants)
Screams like a woman.
Dodges bullets, and
Laughs mockingly at all attempts
tO According 1 to those woh have been
bold enough to venture near it,
bird flies swiftly and perches in the
uppermost branches of the tallest
trees. It is about the size of a
. hen and has small eyes and a bill
■ rather of the vulture type. In color
, it is described as between gray and
' ,H Folks stoutly declare that it is not
of the fowl family, its head being
i inha^ ta " t^ t

i three miles away, a shout which re
, sembles nothing so much as a worn
an’s laugh ending in an almost ironic
i “Ha’ ha’”
Several brave people have traveled
long distances to catch a glimpse of
the visitant, but worsen and children
in the vicinity are scared,of passing
near places where it shows itself,
as they believe it is a spirit-bird.
Some shots have been fired, but
the bird calmly sat on a high branch,
just shifted its body quickly and
slightly to evade the shot, and then
coolly shouted its terrific shout and
broke into its irritating harsh laugh.

Murmuring the self-same secret to

And in like mystic cadences em

As when, Creation's dawn, the domi

Drew back in pride, your cold touch
to avoid —
Throbbing and seething, tossing salty
spray.
In playful brusqueness grinding
stone on stone.
Your depths reflect the heavens’ own
blue today—
For lashing storms your brief calm
■would aione.
I In giant strength you bear what glid
ing craft,
i Faring toward port or to th’ hori
zon’s rim.
Breathing so gently, some sailed hull
you waft.
Where eyes, turned shoreward,
watch old sights grow dim!
Around the ledge on which the light
house stands
You eddy lovingly, soft-fringed in
white,
A willing servant, waiting the com
mands
Os those taught well the treachery
of your might!
Sweet as the censer’s perfume is
your breath
To one. a truant from the dull,
walled town,
Its sordid misery, disease and death.
Its spurred, tense crowds, still hur
rying up and down —
One, blinded to your faults, though
on these sands
Mutely accusing, as your winter’s
toll,
Bleaches a wreck, tossed here —and
by what hands?
God grant each ship I watch a dif
ferent goal.

Want No Dead Bodies
Lying About in a Park
NEW YORK, N. Y. —Not that the
city fathers of New York object to
hurling each other out of the city
hall window, but, on the grounds
that City Hall Park should not be
littered with dead bodies and
health and lives of pedestrians men
aced. Aiderman John J. Keller, of
Brooklyn introduced a resolution
aimed to protect the park.
“Whereas,” the resolution says,
“During the last two weeks two of
our city officials have threatened to
throw two other city officials out
of the window and—
" Whereas, City Hall Park has
been fitted out a great expense to
the taxpayers and should not be
littered with dead bodies, therefore.
; be it
“Resolved, that the borough presi
dent be, and hereby is, instructed to
take the necessary and proper pre
caution to protect the park and the
safety of pedestrians.”
President Laguardia, tabling the
resolution, said,he would hold him
self personally responsible that no
such indoor sports were indulged in.
