COMEDY OF THE HOME
HUMOR THAT Is VISIBLE ONLY
TO THE LookER-oN.
In Almost All Instances the One Who
Dominates Is the One Who Most
EmphaticalIy Claims to Be
Imposed Upon.

housekeeping develops the humor-
Gus side Of married life to an extent
unguessed at by those who merely
board. In a boarding house or hotel
neither the husband nor the wife has
chance to assert that the other is
absolute master or mistress Of the
joint establishment. What Is 1t, by
the way, which makes humanity SO
anxious to prove itself badly off? The
contention for supremacy in suffer-
ing always seen between two persons
who are comparing woes or griev-
ances is particularly conspicuous in the
home.
"'If ever there was a man who was
master of his own house, 1t Is my hus-
band! He has everything Just as he
wants 1t, without any regard to my
wishes pronounced the wife; but in
his own declaration of his position he
is no whit behind the very chiefest
apostle.
my wife is the cock Of tho walk
in our joint he informs you, and with
an agreeable mixture Of figures goes
on to tell how he is henpecked.
THE humor of the situation appeals
to the bystander, at least, for any one
who has given attention to the mat
ter Is fully aware that the men and
women who dominate are almost al
ways those who claim that they are
down-trodden and imposed upon. The
story of the man who was chased
through the house by his wife with
the broomstick and finally took refuge
under the four-post bed Eliminates
this. After he had been lying perdu
for an hour or 80 he cautiously raised
the valance and peered out. His wife
stamped her foot.
"'Get back under there!' she cried,
but he asserted his rights.
"'While have the spirit Of a man,
he returned, with all the dignity he
could muster in the circumstances, I
will peek'
"One dares think after this that the
man who had been brought into such
subjection that he habitually spoke
of our hat was probably a veritable
domestic tyrant and was clever
enough never to let his wife find it
out!
Although there is a theory that
men have more sense Of humor than
women, this may be questioned when
household conditions are considered
Does a man laugh at his own discom
future as a woman does? How would
man take the pleading Of his wife
for something like father used t
maker She has never tried 1t, but
his longing has become q byword
What Joy to the wife when he is hoist
by his own petard!
MY dear, these pies don't taste as
mothers used tot complained hus
band. They are good. Of course, bu
not the sort / was fond OF as a boy
Can't you do something to improve
them?'
I'm afraid not, dear rejoined the
, wife sweetly. She takes SO much
pleasure in making them for you that

did,

Tires at
BefOre-Wa ar Prices

soon have in storage an almost record
supply of this extra grade of rubber.
And we paid about June prices.
Now Inferior Grades Cost Double
About the only crude rubber available
now for many makers is inferior. In
ordinary times, the best tire makers refuse
it. Much of it had been rejected. But
that 'off rubber" now sells for much
more than we paid for the best.
The results are these:
Tire prices in general are far in advance
of Goodyears. And many tire makers,
short of supplies, will be forced to use
sccond-grade rubber.
Be Careful Now
In Goodyears we pledge you the same
grade lire as always. And that grade won
for Goodyears the top place in Tiredom
the largest sale in the world
And, for the time being, our prices are
the same as before the war. We shall try
to keep them there.
We accept no excessive orders, but
dealers will be kept supplied And we
charge them, until further notice, only
anle-bcllum prices.
That means that GOodyears--the best
tires built-are selling way below other
tires.

Contest Is On
In Southern County

The contest over the election for
justice filed by P. J. Gallagher. Dem
ocrat, against Harry Dunseath, So
ciallst, was called in court this MORN
ing with Judge Somers presiding,
owing to reservations that since
Judge Averill was interested in tie
election he would be unsuited for
hearing the case. The court called
up Judge Somerrs of Goldheld last
night and secured the consent OF that
Jurist to sit in the case.
The first action was the filing of
motion to make the complaint more
definite and another to strike out
the list filed by Attorney Cooke for
the plaintiff. The motions were de-
MED and a demurrer to the petiticn
was overruled
Judge Somers, in passing on the
demurrer, said he deemed the COM
plant sufficient.
Attorney Grant Miller then asked
the court to appoint date for hear
ing, explaining that he would file an
answer Court said it was not nee
essary, but the attorney said he
wanted to go on record and there
upon the hearing was set for Decem-
Der 16th.-Bonanza.
