WATTERSON GIVES ADVICE
Tells Washington Newspaper Men
That Prying Into Personal Affairs
Is DeplorabIe.

Henry Watterson, the most widely.
known journalist in the United States
at the present time, stopped in Wash
ington on his way home from Europe
and in talk to the Washington news
paper men gave them little advice.
He deplored the tendency of pres
ent-day journalism to pry into per-
methods the newspapers are causing
the people to fear and hate them. 1t
may be that the celebrated editor
could have addressed his remarks
with more propriety to the newspaper
managers than to the reporters. 1t is
quite possible that quite number of
those who heard or read what Wat
terson had to say have been COM
PEELED at times to do the very prying
co planned of and to ask impertinent
and insolent questions, but in all prob
ability they have done so under in
structions from higher up"
To the credit of decent journalism,
it may be said that the large proper
ton of Washington correspondents
are not asked by their papers to en-
gage in the kind of newspaper work
condemned by Mr.. Watterson. For
the most part, the pursuit of news in
Washington is absolutely legitimate
and involves nothing that is either de-
grading to the correspondent or often
sive to the people with whom he
comes in contact.

dark-haired, bright-eyed woman up to
him and saying:
This is my Aunt Madge, Mr.. Fair
field"
Every vestige of self-possession left
the master Of the village school, and
he stumbled and blundered in hope
less confusion, while his face went
from white to red, and red to white.
"I-er-oh-there is some mistake
-er-rm delighted, I'm sure" then
to Polly with wrathful recklessness-
why, child, you said she was tall
and" he stopped short with a sud-
den realization of the vivid color that
was staining scarlet the face of the
pretty little woman at his side.
Apparently my niece has been IA
voring you with my personal descrip-
tion-and the reality disappoints
you,' she began frigidly, but with the
suggestion of a twinkle in her eyes
there was something wonderfully
ludicrous in the picture of confusion
before her.
The poor man opened his mouth to
speak. but Polly came to his rescue.
Papa said you wouldn't recognize
it," said she, gleefully.
Recognize what?" questioned Aunt
Madge, turning to Polly in surprise.
Your biography, Of course, and
you said it was praising 'em way to
the skies when it wasn't true, tool"
Aunt Madge colored and bit her lip,
and the ghost of smile flickered for
an instant across the distressed face
of the man; then he gathered all his
scattered wits and made a mighty ef-
fort.
Il sincerely beg your pardon. The
fault was all my own. l was led, by
what this little maid said In her biog-
raphy, to think that in her Aunt
Madge I had discovered long-lost
friend. l only hope you will kindly
excuse my awkward stupidity when
you realize how great must have been
my surprise as saw, not my friend,
but an entire stranger enter the
ROOM" Then he turned to Polly with
a faint smile, but a deep pain far
down in his eyes. 81 fear, my dear,
that my meaning was not quite clear
to you about the biography. l did not
intend that you should imagine it
ALL"
Il didn't!" asserted Polly, stoutly.
II was telling all the time about a
beautiful lady that I love very dear
ly, and it's all true, every bit of a
word. It's Miss Weston, over at
Cousin Mabels. / just wrote about
her for Aunt Madge's biography
that's all,' added Polly with sob in
her voice.
"She means Madge Weston who is
visiting my brothers family across
the street; the young lady has sud-
denly become Polly's IDOL" explained
Aunt Madge hastily, marveling at the
great light which transformed the face
of the man before her, as the name
passed her lips.
Five minutes later he had mingled
hasty adieus and apologies and had
turned quick steps toward the house
across the way.
Aunt Madge, with sympathetic lit
tie thrill for that other woman's COM
ing joy, saw through the window the
door of the opposite house open and
close on Fairfeld's stalwart form;
then Polly was surprised with spas
modic hug and fervent kiss from her
usually undemonstrative auntie.

JEFFERSON STOLE THE RICE
Gov. Swanson of Virginia Tells How
Father of Democracy Got His
Seed for America.

Do the people who raise rice in
South Carolina, Louisiana, Texas, and
a number of other Southern states,
as well as those who eat rice pudding,
curry of chicken with rice and rice
in other forms, know that the original
seed which produced rice in this coun-
try was stolen by Thomas Jefferson?
No, indeed!
Thomas Jefferson was one Of the
greatest men this country ever pro-
duced,' said Gov. Swanson of Vir-
ginia, who naturally admires the great
statesman, on recent visit to Wash
ington. HE introduced rice in this
country. When in Italy he gathered
up lot of rice and put it in his over
coat pocket. The italian government
would not allow the expectation of
rice, and so Jefferson took this meth
cd of getting the seed, and brought it
to this country. That was the way
the rice industry in this country start
ed The Virginia governor had a lot
more to say about what Jefferson did,
but this about rice is one of the sto-
ries that seemed most striking.

All the Mothers: Fault.

DR.. Wiley, the food expert, has opin-
ions on other subjects as well as
those affiliated with nutrition. He
says that the misrepresentation going
on in the business world in regard to
food and other things to be sold may
be traced back to the training of chill
dren. He tells a story of small girl
who did not pay her fare to the con-
ductor as he passed her, and ex-
planned to her companion that her
mother had told her never to pay her
fare unless asked for it. This sort Of
training, he said, would make shop
lifters of some girls and in the case
of boys would tend to nefarious bust
ness schemes when they became men.

Future Living Conditions.

M. Jules Bois, the distinguished
French writer, who has discovered
much concerning ancient civilization,
predicts that in a hundred years time
the great cities of Europe will be
practically uninhabited except for
business purposes during the daytime.
All classes will live in the country
or in garden cities, to which access
will be cheap and extremely rapid.
owing to the development of pneu-
matte railways or flying cars. The
motor car will have gone completely
out of fashion, but the bicycle will
come again in favor, for a sort of fly
ing bicycle will be invented, which
will enable the rider to soar in mid

One reason Postmaster General
Hitchcock wanted Grandfield for post.
master in the city of Washington was
because he intends to secure uni
form system of management in all the
large post Offices of the country. The
Washington Office is to be a model
for the others, and Grandfeld's knowl-
edge of the postal business is to be
utilized to make the Washington Office
just what the department would have
all the big Offices in the country.
Hitchcock knows what Grandfield can
do, as Grandfield was chief clerk of
the first assistants Office when Hitch
cock was first assistant postmaster

for centuries been worked by Koreans,

We Are Eatino Much Rice.

Rice forms the chief cereal food of
about one-half the worlds population,
and wheat the chief cereal food of the
other half. Many persons who see
rice on the table about once week
will doubtless be surprised to know
that the total production of rice in the
world is almost as great as that Of
wheat, the crop of the former being
about 75,000,000,000 pounds, and of
the latter 100000, 100000 pounds.
In the United States the produc-
