Cheer up! We have had hard
times before and most everybody survived.
-:o:-
Thomas Edison took out his f.ist
patent for a talking machine Feb
ruary 19, 1879.
:o:
Why don't the reformers be done
with it at once and afflict us with
an anti-every thing law?
:o:
We don't suppose the golden fleece
was reallx golden, guess the profi
teers had just boosted wool.
-:o:
The automobile has about driven
the automobile out of business, but
"white mule" is still popular.
-o:o-
The American public is said to
spend five billion dollars a year for
amusements, and is still bored.
The world is getting better all
the time. For instance, you don't
have to make an appointment two
weeks in advance with an automo
bile salesman nowadays.
-:o:-
The difference between the laun
dress and a washerwoman is that
neither knows what articles of
clothing should be starched and
what should not be starched.
-:o:-
:o:-
Harding is of that cautious type of
citizen who always sticks his toes
into the bathtub before stepping in.
:o:-
About the hardest thing for a pro
hibition enforcement officer to do is
to make seized-whisky stayed seized.
:o:
The Harvard Memorial Society
plans a "typical dinner of 1721" in
Boston soon,
note.
Mr. Volstead, please
-:o:-
Well. well, what next, now they
are talking of a 20th amendment,
providing for prohibition of yeast-cakes.
We take it for granted, there
would be less demand for ear-rings
since the fair sex began wearing
those wonderful coiffure creations
commonly known as "cooty gar
ages." :o:
Up to liast week, a prize fight was
about the only place a man could
go and behave as practically as he
pleased. But now Xew York women
have started the fashion of attend
ing prize fights.
:o:
"Harding will have some shooting
during his trip to Florida, and it
won't all be alligator shooting,
cither," says the Florida Times-Union.
Perhaps Warren will have a
few crap shooting.
-:o:-
I'resiJeiit Wilson views the 4th
of March with more complacency
since he has a place to lay his h.ad
that night.
A man bearing one of Lenir.e's
numerous aliases has died, but Len
ine continues the business of mak
ing others die.
:o:
Spats have one substantial recom
mendation, and that is that they en
able you to wear your low shoes in
winter if you want to. "
:o:
The fact that the average motorist
has mighty poor judgment at rail
road crossings is strikingly shown by
the increasing death toll.
-:o:-
The census office asserts that
America has the biggest collection
of bachelors in the world. Has any
one counted the old maids?
:o:
The advance noted by Mr. Burle
son in the postoffice system is of the
character known as "one step for
ward and two steps backward."
The revelation is made that the
shipping board has not been taking
its fixed charges into account in
making up its balance sheet. But
why should it? The shipping board
lets the government pay those.
:o:
It is the country that produces
food the city consumes. With more
than 51 per cent of the national pop
ulation living in cities and towns,
reijction of living costs to the scale
of tv.o derades ago is scarcely possible.
:o:-
Agood many freak bills are re
ported from the various state legis
latures at this time, mr.ny of which
are explained by their sponsors as
being mere jokes. The greatest
danger in this kind of joking is that
so many of the jokes later become
laws.
-:o:
An Oklahoma legislator wants to
make snoring a misdemeanor of law
punished by graduated punishment
ranging from loss of breakfast to
heavy fines. Of course it is a silly
proposal, but seriously the author of
the bill ought to move to Nebraska
and run for the legislature.
:o:-
-o:o-
Much is made of the fact that a
wrestler with a cork leg has been
discovered, and yet law-makers, with j
cork heads get no credit at all.
:o:
The person with the audacity to
claim there is no hell never did
time as a devil around a country
print shop when things went wrong.
:o:-
The appalling number of murders,
hold-ups, highway robberies and sim
ilar offenses make the pessimistic
believe that civilization is struck
down.
:o:-
One thing is certain about road
building. Times are never favorable
to it in the opinion of the people
who don't want to build permanent
roads.
:o:
Uncle Sam has decided to cut the
army to 175,000 men. This is the
first substantial step towards econ
omy that has been inaugurated by
congress.
:o:
The trouble Harding is having
with the selection of his cabinet
isn't a circumstance to the trouble
he will have with that cabinet after
he gets it.
:o:
A flying machine has been in
vented that will go straight up.
What the world needs is a flying
machine guaranteed not to come
straight down.
-o:o-
"You do not. see as many, pretty
faces on the streets as in the old
days, conplains an old timer. Well,
they're there, old chap. One should
look ur.. jcu know.
:o:
What are the prospects for a sol
dier bonus at this session. This
question is being closely watched
by the more than 4,000,000 veter-
ans of the world war.
:o: ;
For regular action of the bowels;
easy, natural movements, relief of
constipation, try Doan's Itegulets.
30c at all stores.
We gather from anecdotes of their
democratic habits that the next pres
ident and vice-presider t will co
operate in a life of beautiful and
amiable simplicity. Mr. Harding,
we take it, will board a cow on the
white house lawn and Mr. Coolidge
will come every morning and milk
it for half cf the milk.
As suggested by Mr. Harding, the
inaugural ceremony, it was indicated,
will consist simply of the formal ad
ministration oath of office and an ad
dress by the new president, probably
from the east steps of the capitol.
Then Mr. Harding will proceed quiet
ly to the White House, where, in his
own language, he "will hang up his
hat and go to work."

;cently by E. II. Beckstead, -well
known hog raiser and authority on
live stock.
Mr. Ceckstead's hogs are tin envy
of his neighbors, and have "topped
for several years in
Iowa. He states that for years he
bought high-priced hog foods and hog
remedies, but he is all through pay
ing extravagant prices for what he
can made himself. He states that
what the hog3 nfffl are minerals, and
telja the secret of his wonderful suc
cess by explaining that he takes about
five pounds of ordinary mineraline
(which is pure concentrated minerals
and cost only a couple of dollars) and
mixes same with enough bran or
filler to make a hundred pounds. All
and especially brood sows re
quire minerals as they keep them free
from worms, and in the pink of con
dition, and are essential to the hogs
growth -and a well balanced ration.
This ! inexpensive mixture placed in
a sheltered box where the hogs can
get at it as they need it, will produce
far better results than.any high
priced so-called stock foods.

Chicago, Jan. 25. Major crime de
creased more than CO per cent during
the first year of prohibition in Chi-cag-.
The number of murders dropped
ol per cent, burglaries 10 per cent
and robberies G per cent.
While some olhcials attributed the
decrease in crime to prohibition. Col.
Henry Barrett Chamberlain, director
of the Chicago crime commission,
said today he did not believe prohibi
tion had any great effect on major
crimf.
"Prohibition has decreased misde
meanors," he said, "but has been the
cause for wholesale corruption of the
police.
"The major criminal i not a
drunkard. As a matter of fact he sel
dom smokes. He finds his amuse
ment in gambling."
Colonel Chamberlain plated crime
is organized, centralized, commer
cialized and operated as any other
established business.
"Crime is not caused by poverty
or unemployment," said Colonel
Chamberlain. "The criminal becomes
a criminal because he wants to."
A total of 168 murders were re
corded in Chicago in 1920 and 3:0 in
1919. The robberies numbered 2,7ri2
in 1920 and 2.912 in 191!). The
burglaries in 1920 numbered 5,471
and in 1919, 6,108.
Crime will decrease wIipii email'
fire arms sales are prohibited, Cham
berlain said.
