MILLIONS OF POUNDS BOUGHT BY OUR GOVERNMENT KOKOKC-KC-KC-KC X BEFORE SHE COULD STOP HIM Bride's Husband Thoughtlessly Re veals Hidden Unwashed Dishes to Her Mother-in-Law. I had been married only a week, and my husband was proud of my good housekeeping. As he came home from his work tired at night, I decided not to let him help me with the dishes, and yet I wanted to remain fresh and dainty for him in the evening. I solved the problem in this way. The stove in our kitchen contained two ovens—one large, and, my husband thought,*useless. However, 1 was of ; a different mind regarding it, for after I had washed the pots, pans, silver, ! and glassware, I rinsed the remaining dishes and surreptitiously shoved them Into the large oven—which we never used. The next morning I washed them with the breakfust dishes, and friend husband was none the wiser. My husband’s mother whs the last word in housewifely neatness, and I lmd often heard George laud her sys tem in the kitchen. One evening she came bag and baggage to pay us an unexpected visit. The next morning at breakfast, my husband directed her attention to our dainty kitchen—and then before I could stop him opened the large oven door to exhibit its spa ciousness—revealing the hidden un washed evidences of my sloth! The look of housewifely horror on the face of my mother-in-law is never to be forgotten.—Chicago Tribune. LESSENING RISKS TO LIFE Automatic Illumination of Lifeboats When They Are Launched From Ship Is Tested. An invention for lessening rtsks to life at sea by the automatic illumina tion of lifeboats when they are launched from a ship’s side has just been tested by British board of trade officials. The inventors are two partners in the firm of Messrs. T. Blair & Co., ship’s store merchants, in East London. By their device two small electric lamps are switched on by contact es tablished from a float contained in a tube fixed to the stempost of the life boat. The float is forced up the tube by water when the boat is launched. Storage batteries capable of giving twenty-four hours’ continuous light to the lamps are carried on board. Under present board of trade regu lations every ship’s lifeboat has to carry an oil lamp and a dozen boxes of matches ip a sealed watertight tin. The inventors of the new device claim that it will eliminate much of the risk of liftboats being run down. A Genius. A crusty banker who had risen to af fluence from an bumble start on a farm had half promised a boyhood friend to give the latter’s son a place In his office. The old farmer came in to talk the matter over and was rather timorous about the boy’s qualifications, explaining that he wTas Just a country lad who knew how to plow, take care of pigs and milk. He wound up by stating: “The boy knows enough to keep his mouth shut. That’s about all I can say.” The listener for the first time dis played interest. “That’s enough,” declared the bank er. “That’s education enough for any man.” Origin of Word “Brandy.” The original name of the liquor known as brandy was brandywlne, from the fact that (In the countries where it ‘is not prohibited by law) it was, and still is produced by the dis tillation of wines. The word lost its “wine” part because the English lan guage has the happy faculty of drop ping unessential parts of words to save time. “Brandy" traces its origin* to the word “brand,” as in “brand from the burning,” for the simple reason that the product known as “brandy" or “cognac” was produced by the process of burning, which in all the Germanic languages Is designated by some form of the word “brand.” To the word “brund” as in "'“brandy,” the word “burn” is also related.

V YOU SHOULD KNOW YOUR HOME TOWN Many a citizen of O’Neill who brags about his own community speaks from faith rather than knowledge. A lcoal man suggests that it would be a good idea to “know your home town” and he has asked us to iprint a few sugges tions. Here they are. Study them, post yourself on them and the next time you go to boost the town you’re proud of you’ll be in a position to back up the argument. Here are the ques tions : What is the poifflation T How did the site of the town happen to be selected? How did it get its name? What is the birth rate? What is the death rate? What are the chief na tural resources? Do many of your citizens own their own homes ? What per cent are renters ? Is there proper ventilation and light in our school houses in thi3 community? What about our water supply? Is the sup uly adequate to meet all emergencies, and is the water pure ? What kind of schools have we ? Are they receiving the cooperation of our citizens that they deserve ? What have we here in O’Neill to offer the man with a family who is seeking a permanent home ? ANNA {CAROLINE PEDERSON.
