The National Guard of the District of Co.
lumbia reasonably expects that public-spir-
tied citizens will generously aid in the en-
tertainment of the distinguished guests, and
to spur them on, and more particularly
their contributions, Il finance committee has
been organized. Each member is a hard
worker, and there is no reason to doubt
that the comparatively small sum required
to cover the expenses of the convention will
be in the hands of the treasurer at an early
date. Maj. Fl. a. Robbins, surgeon United
States volunt eers is chairman OF the COM
mittee and good one he is.
DIR. Robbins graduated IN medicine at the
University of Pennsylvania on 'Iarch ii,

From the Chicago Herald.
But after all the worst husband IN the
world is not the man who gets mad. The
most unhappy woman l ever knew was the
wife of a man who never got so far in his
wrath as to Say d it," and who was
never known to slam a door. The worst
thing about him was his meekness- He
didn't drink; he didn't gamble and he didn't
run after other women. but he snooped. and
he sneaked and he hen-hussied and N
Providence ever spared anything more dis
agreeable to have around than a hen-hussy
man. l never ran across 1t. This fellow was
always on hand to find out just how many
bars of soap were used in the family wash

coffee for each serving and favored dried
apple pies. 1 was at his home once on the

Italics.

The Boston Herald says: 1.-THE type
setting machines are driving out italics,
and about the only place they survive
is in school girls letters. There is no
use for this style of emphasis, anyway.
1t was Emerson who remarked that in
Good English every word is italicized. -
The Banner some years ago quit the
use of italic letters. 1t is rarely the
case that italics are needed. To under
score words in manuscript and use
italics in print for emphasis is to ex.
press a doubt as to the force and quail
ity of your language. It~indicates that
something besides pure English is
needed to convey your meaning. Even
the use of italics for foreign words is
unnecessary. The intelligent reader
will always know a Latin or French
phrase when he sees it, without the
help of italics Banner.

every American farmer is trying to
solve. In spite of low prices for all

Business methods applied to agri-
