SURPRISED CLYDE YEo.

Register Of Deeds Clyde Yeo has
always been Of the opinion that he
was just a little too sagacious to
have anyone pull off surprise On
him, and he has also been inclined to
make somewhat sarcastic remarks
about the fact that a woman could
not keep a secret, but he Is now in
clined to side-step both subjects when
they are mentioned, for this week
Mrs. Yeo demonstrated that she could
keep a secret as well as the b st of
them, and also demonstrated to her
husband that he was not above get
ting sold out once in a while, just the
same as common folks.
Wednesday,, the 10th, was Clyde IS
birthday, and in order to properly
celebrate the event, and at tn sam
time work off surprise ON him, she
invited the county officials to their
home for supper that evening, and
failed to take Clyde In as a member
Of the arrangement committee. In
order to get Mr.. Yeo out Of the way
so that the bunch could assemble ct
his home, Sheriff Brown told him
about 6 O'Clock that evening that he
desired his assistance to go out to
the hospital to get a crazy man, ard
Clyde, having played football and 9TH
erwise braved death in his younger
days, promptly accepted the respcn-
sibility. They drove to the hospital
in the sheriff's car and Mr.. Brown
went into the building and visited
with the Sisters for a few minutes
and then returned and tod Yeo that
they had decided to leave the ineanr
man at the hospital for another day,
and proceeded to hurry home 50
that Yeo could get his supper and
finish the construction of a fence
around his lot, on WHICH he had been,
working for some time. On arriving
at his home Yeo jumped out of the
car without even taking the time to
thank Mr.. Brown for the ride, and
when he opened the front door and
beheld almost the entire court house
bunch there was one register Of
deeds who would have been viking
to have sold himself for a plugged
nickel and still thought he was get
ting the best Of the bargain, and he
was then willing to acknowledge that
a woman could not only keep a Sc
cret, but could pull of a surprise
that was the real thing.
An elaborate and substantial supper
was served BY Mrs. Yeo to which the
hungry county officials did fun Jus

why is it that Americans have found 1t de-
siraDle 10 consume such vast quantity OF
imported manufactures when our own industries
the country over have been suffering from hard
times?
The people who buy imported" articles in
preference ito American-made goods may be
roughly divided into four classes.
Glass Americans who are willing to
make sacrifices in order to be exclusive, and
who prefer imported" articles. which cost
more, because the average individual uses

Glass 2-Unnformed consumers who have an
idea that because thing is imported and more
expensive 1t must be superior

preference for the products of the fatherland.
Glass 4-Consumers who. buy imported
articles because there is no American-made
equivalent, or the American-made article is in.

Perhaps the most important class of con.
sumers Of foreign-made articles consists of
those who labor under the idea that because
imported articles usually expensive
they must necessarily be superior and more de.

every business man. the instance of beer How

TACT that the imported costs ten cents a glass,
while the domestic costs only FIVE, the natural

involved in its transportation adds another one

cents for glass of imported" beer is paying
five cents for the beer and five cents for the
duty, etc. And this is true of many other duti.
able articles for which Americans pay an ad.
yanced price under the mistaken idea that the
difference in price represents added value when
as matter of fact 1t is tackled on merely to
cover the duty and other charges incident to its
importation.
AS far as the relative merits of imported"
and domestic beer are concerned, all that 1t Is
necessary to say is that domestic beer is every

beneficial as the imported" The fact that

BY G. X. cHEsrERToN,
the Distinguished English Essayist.

TT seems singular that nobody ESQ far as
know, except Mrs Beloc-Lowndes in the
a New Witness, has noted a quality in the
Caillaux which Is quite apart from its
criminality or innocence, and does not pre-.
Judge the result. I, for one, should count 1t
a point of conscience not to PREJUDICE any such
result. The best test Of honesty is whether
we obey laws in land where they cannot be
enforced. l have always thought the rule
against prejudicing an impartial tribunal was
fair rule; and it would be despicable to OBJ
serve it in ones own country and despise 1t
in another.
But the very interesting point raised by Mrs.
Belloc-Lowndes has nothing to do with tne
legal issue of the legal prosecution. Sac
points out that, whoever may be right in the
quarrel, there never would have been any
quarrel but for the vast license OF divorce al.
lowed in France since NJ. Naquets law was
passed. Now, this is really one of the great
realities Of the modern world. Whatever be
the cause, whatever be the complexities, 1t Is
quite certain that the two highly cultivated
democracies which have, allowed large di.
vorce are now rather wishing they hadn't.
