said Rev. J. Clyde Mahaffey, pastor
"f the First Presbyterian church. "In

realised. The home is a vital factor
to civilization. I would say the h' !
is one of the most sacred, yes, lie
most sacred of cjur institutions. For,
if the home goes, everything goes."
"There Is no question about the
worth of the Better Homes exposition

CHAPTER IX.
One bright June day Mr. Wheeler
parked his car in a line of motors
before the new pressed brick court
house in Frankfort. The court house
stood in an open square, surrounded
by a grove of cottonwoods. The
lawn was freshly cut .and the flower
beds were blooming When Mr.
Wheeler entered the courtroom up
stairs, it was already half full of
farmers and townspeople, talking in
iow tones wh(le the summer flies
buzzed iii and out of the open win
dows. The judge, a one-armed man.
with white hair and side-whiskers,
sat at lrs desk, writing with his left
hand. He was an old settler in
Frankfort county, but from Ills frock
coat and courtly manners you might
have thought he had come from Ken*
tucky yesterday instead of 30 years
ago. He was to hear this morning a
charge of disloyalty brought against
two German farmers. One of the ac
cused was August Voeder. the Wheel
ers’ nearest neighbor, and the other
was Troilus Oberlies. a rich German
from the north* rn part of the county.
Oberlies owned a beautiful farm
and lived in a big white house set on
a hill, with a fine orchard, rows of
beehives, barns, granaries and poul
try yards. He raised turkeys and
tumbler-pigeons, and many geese and
ducks swnni about on his cat'le
ponds. lie used to boast that he bad
six sons, "like our German em
peror.’’ His neighbors were proud of
his place, and ijolnted it out to
strangers. They told how Oberlies
had come to Frankfort county* a poor
man. and had made hi* fortune by
his industry nud intelligence. He had
twice crossed the ocean to re-visit
his fatherland. and when he returned
to his home on the prairies he
brought presents for etery one: his
lawyer, his banker, and the mer
chants with whom he dealt in Frank
fort and Viscount. Each uf his neigh
bors had in his parlor some piece of
woodcarting or weaving, or some in
genious mechanical toy that Olieriles
had picked up in Germany. He was
an older man than Voeder. wore a
short heard that was white and curly,
like his hair, and though he was
low in stature, his puffy red face and
full blue eye«. and a certain swagger
about his carriage, gat e him a look of
importance. He was boastful and
quick-temper»d. hut until the war
broke out in Europe nobody had ever
had any trouble with him. Since then
he had constantly found fault and
complained—everything was better in
tlie old country.
Mr. Wheeler had come 10 town pre
pared to l»nd Voeder a hand If he
needed one. They had worked adjoin
ing fields for 30 years now. He was ;
surprised that his neighbor bad got ■
into trouble. He was not a blusterer,
like Oberlies, but a big. quiet muu,
with a serious, large-featured face,
am] ii stern mouth that seldom,
opened. His countenance might have j
been cut out of red sandstone, it was
ho heavy and lixed. He and Olierlies i
sat Oil two wooden chairs outside the
railing of the judge's desk.
Presently the judge stopped writing
and said he would hear the charges j
against Troilus Oberlles. Heverel
neighbors took the stand in succee- j
nion; their complaints were confused
and almost humorous. Oberlies had
said the United States would he
licked, and that would be a good
thing: America was a great country,
but it was run by fools, and to be
governed by Germany was the best
thing that could happen to it. The
witness went on to say that since
Oberlies had made his money in this
country—
Here the Judge Interrupted him.
“Please confine yourself to state- :
rnents ^vhlch you consider disloyal,
made In your presence by the defend
ant.” While the witness proceeded,
the judge took off Ills glasses and
laid them on the desk and began to
polish the lenses with a silk handker
chief. trying them, and rubbing them
again, as if he desired to see clearly.
A second witness had heard CHier
lies say he hoped the German sub
marines would sink a few tioopsliips;
that would frighten the Americans ,
and teach them to stay at home and
mind their own business. A third
complained tliHt on Sunday after
iloom-: the old man sat on his front
norch and played “Die Wacht am
Rhein” on a slide-from hone, to the
great annoyance of his neighbors.
Here Nat Wheeler slapped his knee i
with a loud guffaw, and a titter ran
through the courtroom. The defend
ant's puffy cheeks seemed fashioned
by bis Maker to give voice tp 'that
piercing instrument.
When asked if he had anything to
say to these charges, the old man
rose, threw back his shoulders, and
cast a defiant glance at the court
room. "Vou may take my“property
and imprison me, hut I explain noth
ing, and I take back nothing.” he de
clared in a loud voice.
The judge regarded his inkwell with
a smile. "Vou mistake the nature of
this occasion, Mr. Oberlies. You are
not asked to recant. You are merely
asked to desist from further disloyal
utterances, as much for your own
protection and comfort as from con
sideration for the feelings of your
neighbors. I will now hear the
charges against Mr. Yoeder."
Mr. Yoeder. a witness declared, had
said lie hoped the United States would
go to Hell, now that it had been
bought over by England. When the
witness had remarked to him that if
the kaiser were shot it would end ;
the war. Yoeder replied that charity i
begins at home, and he wished some- i
body would put a bullet tn tha presl
dent.
When he was railed upon. Yoeder
rose and stood like a rock before the

judge "1 have nothing to say. The
charges are true. I thought this was
a country where a man could apeak
his mind."
"Yes, a man can speak his mind,
hut even here he must take the con
sequences. Sit down, please.’ The
judge leaned hack in his chair, and
looking at the two men in front of
him. began with deliberation: “Mr.
Oberlies, and .Mr. Yoeder, you both
know, and your friends and neighbors
know, why you are here. You have
not recognized the element of ap
propriateness. which must be re
garded in nearly all the transactions
of life; many of our civil laws are
founded upon it. You have allowed
a sentiment, noble in itself, to carry
you away and lead you to make ex
travagant statements which I am con
fident neither of you mean. No man
can demand that you cease from lov
ing the country of your birth; but
while you enjoy the benefits of this
country, you should not defame its
government to extol another. You
both admit to utterances which l can
only adjudge disloyal, t shall fine
you each $3U0; a very light fine under
the circumstances. If I should have
occasion to fix a penalty a second
time, it will be much more severe."
After the case wit concluded, Mr.
Wheeler Joined ills neighltors at the
door and they went downstairs to
gether.
“Well, what do you hear from
Claude?" Mr. Yoeder asked.
"He's stil] at Fort R—. He expect*
to get home on leave before he sails,
tins, you'll have to lend me one of
your boys to cultivate my corn. The
weeds are getting away from me.”
"Yes. you can have any of my hors
—till the draft gets 'em." said Yoeder
sourly
"1 wouldn't worry about it. A. little
military training is good for a boy.
You fellows kliow that.” Mr. Wheel
er winked, and Yoeder'* grim mouth
twitched at one corner.
That evening at supper Mr. Wheel
er gave h*s wife a full account of the
court hearing, so that she could write
it to t'iaude. Mrs. Wheeler, always
more a school teacher than a house
keeper. wrote a rapid, easy hand,
and her long letters to Claude report
ed all the neighborhood doing*. Mr.
Wheeler furnished much of the ma
teria) for them. Hike many long
married men he had fallen into the
way of withholding neighborhood news
from his wife. Rut since Claude went
away he reported to her everything in
Which he thought the boy would be
Interested. As she laconically said In
one of her letters: “Your father talks
a great deal more at home than for
merly. and sometimes I think he i*

When Ben-came along all this was
changed. He didn't pretend to obey
lie stamped his feet and bade defiance
to anyone w*ho even suggested that
he do something displeasing to his

them, he scattered his belongings
about him and refused to pick them
up. He used whatever of the belong
ings of the others he chose. He made
wild swipes all over Nells new note
book and played horse with Henry's
beloved cane.
At the table he wag at his worst
eating with his fingers, refusing any
thing he didn't fancy and reaching
about for what he thought might
please him. When he licked the
sugar off his buttered bread Henry
attempted to correct him.
"Vou let him alone," thundered big

How Your Taxes
May Be Reduced
HE who whacks a tax can count on a
hearing from the taxpayers and a rea
sonable amount of newspaper publicity. The
suggestion may start in a Cabinet meeting,
in a Treasury Department statement, in a
chance phrase of a press interview, but it
percolates rapidly. Tho Chairman Smoot, of
the Senate Finance Committee, deprecates
any move to change th£ taxes at the next
session of Congr^s. and the New York Times
favors giving the present revenue law more
time to find itself, many newspapers are in
clined to think that the Senator is reckoning
without his host “Oh, there's going to be a
merry time when the next Congress meets in
December.” gleefully exclaims a progressive
Kansas paper, and an Ohio Democratic paper
foresees "a bitter controversy over tax revision
at the next session of Congress.”
In THE LITERARY DIGEST this week.
April 28th issue, new taxation suggestions
that have been advanced are explained, com
ment-; on the proposals of various groups in
and out of Congress are presented, and the
probable effect upon the people of any change
in present taxation plans is pointed out. Other

Smiles grace the deepest countenance. A
chorus of laughter greets the first quips. And
