PROVED TRUE TO HER WORD
^ *■«•> Autoist ad Said She Would Be
Back Promptly, and It Was
Even More So.
On one of my first excursions in-our
<ttw car, writes a correspondent. I
stopped at the grocery with my ear
parked with the back toward the store
door. 1 gave my order and told the
clerk That 1 would be back fro get my
th'ngs in a very few minutes.
- A.s 1 stepped Into the car, my best
•■lean" came down the ‘street, and
anxious to show him how .well I could
drive, 1 hurriedly threw into gear. T.
meed the engine and let the cluteh
•out to get a quick pickup.
it proved to be a wonderful one, as
1 had thrown into reverse and founu
myself tn the doorway of the grocery
•store. I had gone over the curbing
and all, breaking tbe window as I
bumped into the store.
The grocer hurried out, and when
tie saw who It was, “Well,” he said,
"you have proved yourself a woman
of your word, but it will cost, you the
price of a new show window.”
Most men will tell you that a good
name is better than riches—hut they
keep right ou hustling.
Prosperity lias ruined more men
tlm:i adversity—but that kind of ruin
,1s so much more delightful.

COULDN’T TAKE HER IN CUP
“Honey” Was What the Youngster
Was After, but Not in Quite
Such a Generous Quantity.
Tommy Brown had not studied pel
manism and his brain was like a sieve,
When his mother told him to take a
cup to the grocer’s and get It filled
with honey he heard what she said;
but when he got to the grocer’s he
forgot what he had come for.
The grocer named one article after
another in the good-natured attempt
to refresh his memory, but all to no
avail. Then he turned to his plump
wife and said:
“Honey, can you think what it might
be?”
“That’s it; that’s it!” cried the boy
excitedly. “Honey ! But, look here,"
he added, eyeing the buxom lady
“you’d better put her on my back and
let me take her that way, for the-cup
wouldn’t hold her.”
From Bad to Worse.
“I don’t find so many people borrow
lug umbrellas a«d forgetting to returr
them,” remarked the observant citi
zen.
“I belieue the umbrella borrower wai
a less expensive friend,” rejoined tin
man who is always longing for th<
' old days. “W’hat you’ve got to lent
now is a taxicab fare all the way t(
the suburbs.”

How to Reduce Taxes.
——-TT_T^.TTr- . -. —————,
From the Indianapolis News (Republican.)
If all the federal taxes to which objection had been made were re
pealed tomorrow the people of the-United States would still be paying al
most $1,000,000,000 for preparation for future wars. Out of every dollar
taken from the citizen 78 cents goes to the army and navy, pensions, inter
est, etc., all these items being chargeable to wars past and to come. We
Shall next year spend almost four times as much for war purposes as for
purposes of peace. Seventy-eight per cent, of our total expenditure* is
war expenditure. And we have not yet reached the limit.
Congress at its late session appropriated $855,956,96^ for army and
navy, which is practically the same as the amount appropriated for the
civil side of the government, exclusive of the postal appropriation. As
long as other nations arm for war we must do the same, but we should
think the the people, who are complaining of their tax burdens, would be
somewhat startled by these facts. We arc spending $855,000,060 a year for
machinery and equipment to be used by "our boys” in foreign wars, and
challenging other nations to provide the same machinery and equipment
with which to kill our boys. Every resident of the United States including
children and babies, pays, or some one pays for him, $8 a year for big guns,
rifles, battleships, ammunition, explosives, etc. Such is the enormous cost
of insurance against future wars.
The matter is one that should have a keen Interest for business men.
They and all others bore this burden uncomplainingly and cheerfully when
it was realized that it was unavoidable. But now men are asking—or
should be asking—whether there may not be a cheaper and more effective
insurance. If there is, Bound business sense will demand that it be adopted.
The League of Nations strikes directly at this great evil. It is recognized
by the members of the league that "the maintenance of peace requires the
reduction of national armaments to the lowest point consistent with na
tional safety and the enforcement by common action of international ob
ligations.” The council is charged with the duty of formulating "plans for
such reduction for the consideration and action of the several govern
ments.” There is the following provision:
The members of the league agree that the manufacture by private enter
prise of munitions and implements of war is open to grave objections. The
council shall advise how the evil effects attendant upon such manufacture can
be prevented, due regard being had to the necessities of those members of the
league which are not able to manufacture the munitions and implements of
war necessary for their safety. The members of the league undertake to in
terchange full and frank Information as to the scale of their armaments,
their military, naval and air programs and the condition of such of their in
dustries as are adapted to warlike purposes,
A permanent commission is created for the purpose of carrying on this
disarmament program. In view of present conditions it surely would be
worth while to try this method. By employing it we might cut down very
considerably the 78 cents now devoted to war, and thus greatly relieve
business and the people. There is another cause of war that the league
utterly destroys, and that is the secret treaty. Article XVIII of the cov
enant provides that "every treaty or international engagement entered
into hereafter by any member of the league shall forthwith be registered
with the secretariat and-shall as soon as possible be published by it,” and
that "no such treaty or international engagement shall be binding until
so registered.” With each nation knowing what the other nations were
doing in the way of preparedness, and each familiar with all the treaties
that bind the others, the chance of war, disregarding all the other provi
sions of the covenant, would be greatly lessened, and our tax bills ma
terially reduped.

HOME bread making is becom
ing Just art
However, the world loves
good home-made bread, and a great
proportion of our people do not live
In localities where good fresh bread
may be had from the baker.
Most women think that bread
making Is too hard work; that Is
only because they make It so.
Whatever their reoipe may be. they
Should net laboriously knead the
air out of the dough with vigorous
punchings and pokings, because it
Is better to fold air Into the dough,
which Is a very simple process oc
cupying but a few minutes.
The quality of the bread depends
i largely upon the quality of the
flour. Spring wheat flour has long
been the favorite because It excels
first In the proper kind of gluten.
Some wheat contains gluten which
is not elastic and rubbery, and
while such flours may absorb wa*
ter the gluten cells do not retain
the moisture, most of which Is drill*
en out by baking.
It Is generally conceded that
spring wheat flour will make more
loaves per barrel, making larger
loaves of a creamy white color and
fine even texture. Bnkers prefer
spring wheat flour and are willing
to pay a little more for It because
It makes better bread and more at
It.
Soft wheat flour is often advised
for pastry and cake, but lt6 use 1>
geographical rather than always
preferable.
Reclamation in Japan.
Robertson Scott, In Asia.
Every year in Japan there are about
400,000 more Japanese to provide for.
Some of the overplus of the population
l must go to sea or abroad, but subsist
, ence for a certain proportion has to be
found at home.
Marvelous as the efforts of the Jap
■ anese farmers toward land reclamation
i have been, and Ingenious and far-sight
ed as have been the plans that they have
adopted In order to procure, conserve
and transport water, often for long dis
tances, there is still the possibility of in
creasing the cultivated area in Japan. It
Is asserted that there are available as
many as 3,260,000 acres of land, most of
which could be made into rice fields.
The cost of doing so is the Important
point. A countryside may be suitable
for rice, but If the cost of bringing
water and maintaining the supply Is pro
hibitive to the farmer, what can be
tone? Already the hills seem to be ter
ln all the convenient placeg, Need
• say, the cultivated area In Japan,
Other countries, is constantly be
■Kxoached on by cities, towns and
vinagva, marly 20,000 acres disappeared
in this Mg wry year. But in the same
space of flas gome 75,000 acres are re
claimed.
Meaning of Antwerp.
From the Detroit News.
The city of Antwerp received its
name in a curlews fashion. The first
habitation was a Pestle of three towers
on the River Scheldt, ruled bjr^a great
robber named Antlgoaus- Legend gives
him a,height of 40 feet.' and strength ia
proportion. As the feHUn road ran b£
his castle gates he .itrmed the Jolly
habit of halting travelers and demand
ing heavy 'toll ere he wvtald allow them
proceed. In oase.fbey refused, or
KEd not the money, fee seized them and
cut off.their hands, hioldlug that the
sight of eqch unfortunate wretches wan
dering about the cowntry would, be ex
cellent propaganda to the effect that
he meant businegei The-hand* he threw
or tossed into the river- gad in time the
spot became known as “HAntwerpen"
or "Hand-tossing.’ A giant wooden fig
ure of Antigonus is In existence, and on
great parades It is dragged through the
the streets with a man inside, who by
means of a fever, works the head back
and forth in a somewhat lifelike man
ner. The figure fe 40 feet in height.'
