Two other vacancies in the house
are the results of designations. A.
Ross Read of Summit county was
chosen postmaster of Akron few
months ago. He couldn't hold two
public positions and he chose the
more remunerative. Adam Frick of
Scioto county was elected mayor of
Portsmouth at the late election.
What's mere legislative job to being
mayor of Portsmouth? Mr. Frick is
presiding over the destinies of an Ohio

When Mrs. Adam used to roam about
her lovely country home
She had a wide and swinging stride,
Uncramped by clinging garments.
She read no fashion magazines, her
clothes were suited to her means,
And left her free to rise and flee
From snakes and other varmints.
But when the fashions first were born
Ewes daughters hastened to adOrn
Themselves with clothes and furbe-
lows
That cramped their every action.
The more the husbands fused at
this greater grew the ladies bliss,
And newer styles aroused glad smiles
Of inward satisfaction.
When jeremiah grew distressed
about the way the ladies dressed
And sternly cried that sinful pride
Had placed them all past saving,
The women left off baking pies and

A New Freak of Fashion,

Are you going barefooted this
spring? You can if you choose, pro-
vided, of course, that you are young
woman and your feet are shapely. If
you have corns you won't want to.
But fashion has decreed that the
privilege once enjoyed only by the
happy youngster may now be indulg-
ed in by the grOWn-ups, and some
of the most chic and stylish costumes
for spring contemplate bare feet with
sandals and no stockings. ''Jambes
au natural is what the French call
the new style, which originated in
Paris. The phrase might be trans
lated simply natural legs" Start
ling as the idea may seem the transit
ton toward the new style has been
gradual. The stockings of the past
two or three years have been grow
ing flmier and filmier until the step
to no stockings at all was a short
one.
w u6Iu6E ln6I6 10 Ctily IuIuSo IIOlC
immodest in bare legs than in legs
clad in filmy transparent silk is
question open to discussion. Colored
silk stockings are the most promi-
nent feature of some of the most dar-
ing and risque costumes of the past
season, and going back several thous-
ands of years the chaste and stately
Roman matrOns of the Cornelia type
went barefooted or with sandals.
They never wore stockings, yet moth
ing is more suggestive of absolute
modesty than the wonderfully drap-
ed statues of some of those sandal
lied Roman women.
With the sandal style it is pre-
dicted that lavish and beautiful jew
els by way of toe and ankle ornament
will soon make their appearance. Of
course it is to be an indoor fashion.
The stockingless ones, it is said, will
justify themselves, if justification is
needed, by arguing that the sandal is
more 'hygienic, more natural and
more moral than the shoe.

Always So With Women.

toiled like beavers to devise
New things to wear to make men

And let them go on raving.
And when reformers of today COM
plain about the foolish way
The gentler sex their bodies vex
With band and stay and hObble,

clothes resembling bOiler-plate,
Which Sc confine their forms divine,
That they can barely wobble.
And so, though men may rage and

They might as well go out and tell
Their troubles to the breezes.

Till judgment day she'll have her way
And put on what she pleases.

CAN WE STAND THIS?

From Wesleyand Christian Advocate.
In two counties of this state, not
over fifteen miles apart, in a period
of two weeks, five men were shot,
and three of the five killed. And
this in the heart of what we are dis
posed to regard as the finest type of
citizenship on the globe. How much
longer can the people afford to en-
dure such experiences as this? Isn't
it time that there shall be an arouse
ment Of the people of this country
on the enforcement of the laWs-all
the laws? One of the saddest and
most ominous features of this condi-
ton is that while all of this neglect
of the enforcement of the law and
this brutal numbering of one another
is going on the people of this country
are neglecting the church-nOt at
tending the preaching of the Cos
pel-the one agency that can bring
us as a people to what we must be if
we are not run over by red-handed
anarchy. The people must come
back to the church and hear the
word of the Lord at the mouth of
His servants.

Pat Griffin, the red-headed editor

the troubles of that city last week,
tied them in a neat little package,
labeled it What Is the Matter With
Bainbridge?" and boldly deposited
the bundle at the door. Few news
paper men, even of the red-headed
sort, have the nerve to deliver such
messages as this: Frequently you
hear one ask, What is the matter
with Bainbridge?' Nothing except
that so many of the wives Of poor
men try to join society and keep
their husbands SO deeply in debt that
they would not enjoy good times if
money hung on trees. cambridge
has more poor society folks than any
town we know of, and family comfort
is sacrificed by our women to keep
up pace that they are not able to
stand. Everybody knows them, but
hate to say who they are. Women
without roofs over their heads dress
in silks and jewels and have to be
introduced to their babies weekly.
That is what is the matter with Balm
bridge. A conglomerated operation
of high ideas on slim capital among

national governments shall share the
expense beyond the $4,000 yearly

Increasing Use of Fertilizers.

The American Fertilizer Magazine,
in a recent issue, gives some interest
ing information about the fertilizer
business:
In 1910 the money spent for fertil-
izers in the United States amounted
to 114,SS2, 000-an increase of 115
per cent in ten years.
But during this period the increase
in the South Atlantic states was
nearly three fold-162.3 per cent.
In these states the average spent
upon fertilizers per acre was $1.23.
In Georgia the average was about
$500 per cultivated acre.
In the West and North Central
states the average was about one
per cent per acre.
In 1913 Georgia bought and used
1,120,693 tons of fertilizers, exclus-
i've of cotton seed meal.
South Carolina used 918,336 tons,
an increase of about 20 per cent
over the previous season; Alabama
$4,000 tons, Louisiana 98,778 tons,
and Texas $500 tons, an increase
of almost 70 per cent.

TOO MANY INVESTIGATIONS.
From the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
This is the age of investigation.
Every time a congressman gets up
and in the ferver of his OratOry
makes charges against something
or other or somebody there is an
immediate demand for an inyestiga-
ton to determine whether his flights
Of eloquence were based on magma
ton or on fact. Investigation STUN
bles on the heels of investigation I'M
til it seems that many congressman
expect to spend most of their time
prying into something about which,
after all, the public cares very little.
For example, there was Repre-
sentative Shackleford's speech the
other day in which he said some
harsh things about certain opponents
of his bill to distribute $25, 100000
among the states to be spent on
roads along rural delivery routes,
and Immediately there were de-
mands that his statements be inves-
tigated. 1t is hoped that Mr.. Shack
leford does not suspect that the mo-
tives of all opponents of his bill are
either selfish or questionable. There
seems to be sound reasons why it is
l1K6ly CudL rOduS III some states dI
least, perhaps in most of them,
would not benefit by his bill. Those
that could not meet its terms would
be contributing to the improvement
of those that could. Georgia, as we
pointed out recently and as Governor
Slaton agrees, could not give for the
purpose of building roads dollar for
dollar of it's share in the $25,000,-
900 unless her contribution could be
made in the form of convict labor.
And even then there would likely be
dissatisfaction because some of the
counties do not work convicts.
However, even if all the states
should meet the terms of the bill
$25, 100000 would mean an average
of $52O,833 per state, or with the
states own contribution a little over
a million dollars. Even with every
effort to prevent grafters from get
their hands onto the money, and
supposing that every cent of it were
spent for building good roads, it is
doubtful if five miles of good high
ways per county could be built with
it. 1t would be but a drop in the
bucket.
