watching for his return, and then is

WORKOUT and disgruntled because
something has gone wrong In his BUSH

greeting, pushing the children out of

as possible behind a book or paper.
Then he wonders why his home is not
more agreeable, why his wife does
not think more of him, and why his
children do not run to meet him with
joy and gladness.
All! complaining man, the joys Of
the home come from giving and TAX

You cannot expect your wife and

If you would form the habit OF
locking all your cross grained, crab

We sometimes hear men complain
that their homes are not congenial,
and that If they could get the home
encouragement, support and harmony
they crave they would be more sue
cessful.
My friend, how much have you ever
done to deserve the harmony, love
and eneoura cement which you fail to
get? Did you ever realize what it
means to the sensitive girl who you
have taken out of congenial, har-
monious surroundings and put into a
strange home, to be greeted with a
grunt or a growl, and met with a
face full of disgust with all the world,
herself seemingly included? Do you
wonder that this gentle. responsive
soul becomes discouraged after a
while and meets you with indiffer-
ence? Do you wonder that your
children, sensitive to your moods,
prefer to play by themselves or with
other children, rather than to be
pushed from the knees of the man
who never has time to fondle them
or to romp and play with them?
We all know men who are agree
able and cheerful at the club, but
who become cross and intolerably
dlsagreeab1e the moment they get
home. They seem to think that they
have license to vent their spleen in
the home, as 1t belongs to them. If
anyone has injured them during the
day they Seem to try to get even by
maltreating members OF their family.
Some men rarely look pleasant in
their homes. They reserve their SUM-
shine for the outside world; they
carry their gloom, their sadness and
their melancholy home for family
consumption. Their homecoming is
dreaded as a disturbing element.
Many a man thwarts all his wife's
efforts at home-making by turning a
smiling face to the world and a sour,
fault-finding one to his family.
Think of such man coming home
to snarl at a woman who loves him

An Old Battle Field

The softest whsperings of the scented South
And rust and roses in the lannon's mouth;
And, where the thunders of the Eight were born
The winds sweet tenor in the standing corn,
With song of larks, low lingering in the loan,
And blue skies bending over love and home
But still the thought somewhere, upon the hills,
Or where the wales ring with the whippoorwills,
Sad, wistful eyes and broken hearts that beat
For the loved sound of unreturnng feet
And when the oaks their leafy banners wave,
Dream of battle and unmarked gravel

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
One effect of the war is that the
American manufacturers of chemicals
are shown to have been depending on
Germany for many products that
could be made here. 1t Will be news
to most Americans that the numerous
and valuable by-products of coal tar
and petroleum have been imported
from Germany. We have been under
the impression that the Standard Oil
trusts chemists were unequalled in
skill and inventiveness. II this is
true, the only plausible reason for the
manufacture of the coal oil products
in Germany must have been the
cheaper labor supply.
If this war shall bring about a great
increase of chemical manufacture in
the United States, 1t will benefit
American commerce and industry
Why should we not manufacture all
these chemicals and drugs that are to
be found in our own raw materials?

FIRE MENACED
Marsh Fire Threatened to
Destroy Kent County
Resort

. DOVER, Del. Sept. SO.-scores of
men and women yesterday combatted
a marsh fire here which threatened to
destroy Kits Hammock, a Delaware
Bay resort, eight miles from here. The
flames we're checked after half-dozen
shacks on the outskirts of the town
had burned.
About so acres of marshland were
swept by the flames. Two women were
overcome by smoke. Dry grass on the
marshes which surround Kits HAM
mock on three sides, was set on fire
during. the morning. Shortly after
noon the wind shifted and the flames
began sweeping toward the resort.
Spaces were quickly cleared but the
flames burned them. An appeal for
help was telephoned to Dover and fire
men responded. The cottagers moved
their household goods to the beach
and then assisted the firemen, who
finally extinguished the burning grass
with chemicals.
