While the Socialist vote generally
throughout the nation increased
considerably at the recent election, the
city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the
congressional district in which that

Judging by expressions heard, the
last election was the most satisfactory
ever held to men of all parties. The
Democrats are satisfied because Will
son has been elected, the Republicans
are satisfied because Roosevelt was
defeated and the Rooseveltians are
tickled to death because Taft wasn't
successful. Let us therefore dwell
together in harm ony.

No, it wasn't Democratic "land-
slide" The total popular vote for
Wilson was not larger than Bryan re-
ceived in 1908. 1t was the split in
the Republican party, instgated and
engineered by Roosevelt, that put the
forces of protection to rout Just

THE VETERANS
By Dennis A. Mccarthy

Every year they're marching slower;
Every year they're STOPPING lower;
Every year the lifting music stirs the
hearts of older men:
Every year the flags above them
Seem to bend and bless and love them
As if grieving for the future when
they'll never march again.
Every year that day draws nearer.
Every year the truth is clearer,
That the men who saved the nation
from the severing southern sword
Soon must pass away forever
From the scene of their endeavor.
Soon must answer to the roll call of the
angel of the Lord.
Every year with dwindling number,
Loyal still to those that slumber,
Forth they march to where already
many have found peace at last,
And they place the faires. blossoms
Ger the silent mold ring bosoms
OF the valiant friends and comrades of
the pAtues OF tne past.
Every year grow DINNER, duller,
Tattered flag and faded color.
Every year the hands that bear them
find harder task to do.
And the eyes that only frightened
When the blaze of battle lightened,
Like the tattered flags they follow, are
grown dim and faded too.
Every year we see them massing.
Every year we watch them passing,
Scarcely pausing in our hurry after
pleasure, after gain,
But the battle flags above them
Seem to bend and bless and love them
And through all the lifting music sounds
an Underline of pain.

How to Make It Throw Out Many
Graceful Branches.
A rubber plant grows in one stalk.
To make it throw out numerous branch
es take a sharp knife and cut the stalk
about six inches from the top. then
take little mud and place it over
the end Of the stalk and tie little
piece of cloth over 1t in order to pre-
vent the mud from sliding off.
This will prevent the plant from
bleeding to DEATH As result the
plant will put forth new shoots all the
way up the stalk. Take the part that
was cut Off from the top and plant 1t
In another pot. .... .....
This will take root and you will have
another rubber plant IL 1t Is given
plenty of water. If the leaves are
washed with clean water occasionally
they will shine and the plant will be
healthier.

candlesticks require polishing twice a

The housewife can save the ends of
the wax candles. They are useful on

made from them by melting the can
dies, taking out the bits of wick and
thcsl running the wax into paper
molds, in which wick is suspended.
