Ancient Calf.

Awkward mistakes occur sometimes
through falling into certain manner
isms Of expression. A parson had a
habit of frequently saying for years
and years and years." in the course
of a sermon. He was preaching on
the Prodigal Son, and spoke of him sit
ting down in that far-off land thinking
Of the home that he had not seen for
years and years and years"
This was all right, but presently he
spoke of the welcome to his old home,
and of the calf which his father had
kept In anticipation of that happy day.
Yes" said he, dropping into his fay-
orite cadence for the winding up of q
sentence; yes, the calf which he had
kept for years and years and years."
Then somebody laughed!

HISKERED WOMEN WOULD BE BEAUTIFUL
IF ALL WOMEN HAD Boards
BY HERBERT QUICK

A New York man who claims to
know more about it than the rest of
us asserts that fifty or a hundred
thousand years ago all the women,
were bearded ladies, and suggests.
that the velvet=cheeked girls of this.
age could have secured positions in
the side-shows of that remote period
as freaks.
But, he says, the men gave the
ladies racial shave by selecting the
ones with the least facial floss as,
wives. Thus the girls grew smoother
and smoother of face, and finally be-
came as we see them now.
This may be subtle attempt to-
allay the prevalent sex-revolt by plac-.
ing the women under obligation to
the men for their most precious pos
session, their beauty. But to all who
are deceived thereby wish to give
warning. The New York man has no
good scientific grounds for his state
ment. ~

eyes of the men. When they wore
-hoop.skirts, we liked hoop-skirts.
when they wore bustIes, bustIes were
grateful TO the male eye. When the
sheath gown became a female char
Setsristic, the men liked them-What-
ever they may have said. If they had
always possessed boards, we should
have liked boards.
All these things are matters of
habit and custom, and not of innate
attrac tiveness. In a certain tribe of
African natives, the women posses a
huge hump of fatty tissue, a good
deal like the hump of the camel.
These characteristics are very highly 3
priced in their natural habitat" !.
Beauty in woman or man is the
average of the characteristics with
which we are familiar The Venus
de Milo is beautiful because she is a
composite Of all the physical possess
sions of European women.
There is a Spanish maxim which
runs thus: "a kiss without a beard
is like an egg. without salt" That
was first said when all Spanish men
wore boards sand most Spanish wo-
men. (They still doi) Now that
Americans have been for a generation
without boards in rare in
instances IT is safe to say that our
women have great difficulty in under
standing Spanish taste.
Brilliant spots on the wings of GER
tain female moths are a secondary
sex characteristic; and it was sup
posed that these spots were very fas-
cinating to the males of the species.
But a certain experimenter tried the
trick of painting the spots over, and
found that the matings were not af-
fected. Then he cut off these bril-
liant wings and glued on the wings
of another variety of moth-and still
the matings were not affected. But

The president has signed the bill
providing for the building of an
Alaskan railway at the expense of
the government, the bill being put
through on the grounds that the
prospects for such road are so poor
that no private corporation would
undertake the job. 1t is expected
that such road will open up posi-
bilities in an industrial way in
Alaska that have heretofore been
impossible because of lack of trans
portation facilities. On the theory
of the thing. the writer has never
been in favor of the socialist,c ideas
Of public ownership of utilities.
However, if in this individual case, it
will mean the getting at some of the

county, for thirty years. has an

position of Lieutenant Governor.
Col. FRAMES candidacy will meet
the approval Of the greater strength
of the rank and file of the Repub-

He ia man in every sense of the
word, has seen service in the Philip

war, is high in the ranks of the Ma

point which will help him greatly in
the coming campaign is the fact that
the present incumbent and one of
his opponents now is A. I. kraabel
who cut his throat politically in this
state when he knitted the Initiative

CATARRH OF THE THROAT
Is Liable to Produce Catarrhal Deafness

tial loss Of hearing is apt to be over
looked. A person may lose half his
hearing before he knows 1t.
For instance, suppose man can
hear his watch four feet from the ear.
If he loses his hearing to the extent
that he can only hear the tick of hrs
watch two feet from the ear no may
not suspect 1t at all. His hearing is
good enough for ordinary purposes.
He goes on without the slightest sus-
picion that he Is losing his hearing.
He may have ringing In the ear, or
cracking and swapping sounds in the
ear, or a feeling Of pressure In the
ear. but he is not aware that he is
losing his hearing.
Testing the Hearing.
1t is good thing to test your hear
ing with a watch. First hold the
gradually away from the ear and Gee
how far away from the watch you
can actually hear it tick. Try it on
the other side and see If both ears
are alike. II you find that you are
unable TO hear the watch ON boti, sides
alike and at distance OF four feet

ding such information are misrepre-
senting us and are far from the
truth. In one instance. a gentleman
in this town stated such condition
to be fact. The same gentleman
is 80 much interested in the welfare
OF this town-in which he pays prac-
tically no taxes-that at the last
meeting of the commercial club
when this very proposition was dis
cussed the gentleman was conspicu-
GUS by his absence. Now we haven't
any particular spite against that
man or any other man who attempts
to misconstrue our motives and we
find that pretty nearly every time we
get line on such a person, we find
in him selfish individual who would
be the last to support any movement
of q public nature either financially
or with his own work. At least,
such is the case we have had in
mind.
Now, we wish our readers to fully
understand this point: We will pro-
fit just as much from the publica-
ton of village ordinances which
the law requires to be published be-
fore they are binding-as we will
from city ordinances. Financially,
TO us it makes not one iota Of differ
ence whether you call the ordinances
city" or Village" That is the
best proof that the gentleman re-
ferred to before is so taken up with
himself that he hasn't even expend-
ed few minutes Of his most valu-
able time to find out what he is talk
ing about before attempting to con-
vince our fellow townsmen that we
are looking for a small-sized graft.
The very reason that many OF the
present village ordinances are abso.
lutely no good is for just the reason
outlined. They were never pub
lished according to law. However,
the writer would be perfectly will
ing to see the expense Of publishing
any ordinances done away with; but
we would ask that the farce Of con-
Quoting village government or city
government or any other kind of a
government without complying with
the law be done away with
Our contention is that the village
of Linton is taxing it's residents up
with some 81 200 in taxes and we
aren't getting our moneys worth.
The lawyer, in this village are unan-
imous in their opinion-as they have
expressed them to the writer that
there is need for practically no ex.
ira expense in city organization
than in village. They admit unan-
imously that such city would have
more power to enact and enforce or
dinances than is possible under viii
lage government. Either Let's get
some good out of our local govern
ment or quit paying taxes to sup
port it.
If you are interested in the
opinion of any man who has served
on the village board in the past or is
so doing, just ask them what they
think of our present system of gov
ernment. They'll tell you in such
terms that the postal authorities
would prosecute us If we repro
duced their answer and printed it in
he Record.
Now, in closing. we wish to assure
the voters Of Linton that practically
every man who has ever served on
the village board or is so doing at
the present time is outspoken in his
support of the change. Every at
torney in town will tell you that
such change does not need to ma
ter:ally increase the taxes, and every
