On the Spur Of
the Moment
BY ROY MoULToN.
Written Exclusively for Evening star.

THE DIARY OF A BONEHEAD
A man who tells his wife anything
but the plain, unvarnished truth is a
fool.
1t doesn't pay even to deIve into
the half-truths of diplomacy.
When the bunch of fraternity
brothers blew into town last night I
simply couldn't break away, and we
went to the emporium of the bent
elbow and the brass footrail to talk
over old times.
When I got home 1 Inadvertently
stepped on the cats tail while I was
getting upstairs in the dark, and the
piercing screams OF the outraged
feline awoke the other half of my
sketch, who turned on the lights and
sat UP in bed waiting while finished
the climb to the second floor.
What time is it?" she inquired.
! ut is 70 o'clock, exactly" I MUIR
INJURED, softly and conciliatingly.
as that SOP" she inquired, glanc-
ing at the gold mantel clock on the
bureau, which registered 2:S0, and no
less. Some ehump gave us that
mantel clock when we were married.
There should be a severe penalty at
tached to the giving of mantel clocks
for wedding presents. A mantel clock
is apt to rise and smite one in the
face when he least expects it.
II am sorry it is so late" ] saidy
"but | had to go over and see Mr..
and Mrs. Bilkins, who leave tomor-
row for Yellowstone Park. They in
weighed me into a game of cards and
the time slipped away before L knew
it. 1 got there at o'clock"
you are sure you spent the eve
ming with Mr.. and Mrs. Billxins?"
"Sure l did. Why"
"Well, they came over here to bid
us goodbye and they stayed here
and waited for you from 8 O'Clock
until long after midnight, that's ALL"
That was enough.

A MEATLESS MENU
This menu is supposed to relieve all
persons from the necessity of paying
high prices for meat. 1t has been said
that no menu is a success without

the pains to prove that this idea is
erroneous. Here is the menu without
meat, which is sure to please the most
fastidious:
BREAKFAST.

Meeting State Board of Agriculture

The annual mid-winter meeting of
the State Board of Agriculture which
was held in New Haven recently, was
one of the best meetings ever held by
the board. The attendance was espec
tally large. OF late years farmers have
not been in the habit Of attending
these meetings as they should, consid.
ering the quality of the meetings and
the prominence of the speakers engag-
ed to make the addresses. This year,
however, the attendance was quite up
to the average of the meetings held fif-
teen years ago. Secretary Healey and
Others associated with him In the work
of the board, made a special effort to
secure the attendance of farmers from
all sections of the state, and the res
ponse was encouraging.
In his address at the meeting Cover
nor Baldwin uttered one sentence that
should be stamped on the minds of
every farmer in the state and nation.
Here is what he said: "You can culti-
vate your farm for ages, If you know
enough to harness bacteria As well as
horses, and cultivate roots that will
bring nitrogen into service while you

Future of this Country

If our states were mere provinces or
territories without autonomy and SOW
ereignty, like other republics less ia
vored than ours, we would enjoy less
stability and less shope of enduring
freedom than we now possess.
The safety and permanence, there
fore, of our republic largely depend on
the autonomy of the several states,
without the danger of absorption by
the general government. Should our
government and Legislators ever be-
come the subservient creatures of the
federal government, they would be
mere puppets, subject to the will of the
chief executive. They would cease to
be waterproof and would share the
fate of the Titanic.
You and your fathers have now for a
century and quarter experienced and
enjoyed the blessings of strong and
free government. And if you compare
the results of our political system with
those of other civilized nations, | do
not think that our republic, with all
its draw backs and shortcomings, will
suffer in the comparison. You can
say: america, with all thy faults, |
love thee still"
Cold, indeed, and torpid, obtuse and
apathetic is the soul that is not arous-
ed to warmth and enthusiasm in con-
templating the history of the United
States, which has been the home of
liberty and the haven of rest to down.
trodden millions in other lands.
No man should be drone in the So
cial beehive. No man should be an in
different spectator of the political and
economical questions which confront
him. Indifference and apathy in civic
and political life are as hurtful to the
state as indifference in religion is hurt
full to the Christian commonwealth.
1t is my profound conviction that If
ever the republic is doomed to decay,
if the future historian shall ever record
the decline and fall of the American
republic, its downfall will be due, not
to hostile invasion, but to the indif-
ference, lethargy and political apostasy
of her own sons.-Cardinal Gibbons.
