HOW MUCH:
BY Wing DInger

The recognizing sirens in the Demo-
cratic fold
Sang song some months ago that
told of graft,
And invited all the voters, who for
honesty were strong,
To enlist in breaking up the Old
Guard craft.
We were led to think twas awful what
vile things were being done,
Tn the way of giving Offices as pap,
And some other things disgracefuI
should be stopped without delay.
And the guilty parties wiped clean
off the map.
The reorganizing methods were for
cutting out these things,
And forever putting down the evil
boss,
Who would daily use the favors that
the party could hand out
In flavoring his private brand of
sauce.
And lot of voters fell for all these
siren mites of theirs,
And little band together stood and
fought,
Until the magic scepter from the hands
that held it long
Was at length with much enthusia SIN
wrought.
Now we note the modern method that s
employed in certain parts
or this keystone State on which
they've placed the lid.
If you'd like to be Postmaster, we don't t
care how good you are,
What We want to know is, 'IIow
much will you bid?"
Lady I'm afraid one foot Is bigger
than the other.
Shopman = On the contrary, madam,
one is perhaps smaller than the other.
Opinion.

after this disclosure is to withdraw
from the contest. OF course, he may
have concluded that talking with q
couple of United States Senators from
his own State was no worse than a
conference of four Democrats in
Washington, two of whom were
chosen as the candidates of the ma
chine in this State for United States
Senator and Governor. but he must
understand that only those who are
of the elect can do these things and
hope to survive politically.
DR.. Brumbaugh has even admitted
that he had a talk with Senator's Pen
rose and Oliver and some other gen
tlemen and this leads the esteemed
Patriot to declare that the public-has
now no doubt of the insincerity of the
distinguished educator.
In these days of political piflie one
need not be surprised at anything
emitted by the little men who have
been permitted to strut across the
public stage while political parties
were adjusting themselves to new con,
ditions.

THE BACKYARD GARDEN

T HIS is the anniversary of our
backyard garden editorial. We
= haven't much to say on the sub.
ject that we haven't said before,
but that is not going to prevent us
from repeating. If we haven't any
thing new to say. at least we have
quite a large number of readers to
whom we want to say it. and it won't
hurt some of our readers to whom
this backyard garden advice is an olo
story to hear it again-especially IL
they are looking for a Spring toni.
and something that will help solve
that much discussed and really serious
problem-the high cost of living,
Old winter has hung on later than
usual, but the time is almost here
when the first steps toward a garden
if we are TO have one this year.
must be taken. The land on which
Harrisburg now stands was for the
most part i4 years gone by an i'm
mense truck garden. The land is fer
tile and the backwards of the CITY
could be made TO yield handsome
profits if Harrisburgers chose to turn
the soil at their disposal to account.
No rear yard Is too small to cultivate.
There are few houses that do not hay.,
attached thereto sufficient space for
the growing of onions, radisifes. let
tuce, tomatoes and a few beans or
peas. 1t is remarkable how much can
be crowded profitably into small
space if proper care is exercised.
Have you ever noticed the joy on the
face of the suburbanite carting home
an armful of plants or a new hoe?
Have you ever noted the fresh, health
full appearance of the man who tends
regularly his own garden? Have you
ever eaten at a table where none but
homegrown vegetables were served
and noted how superior they are
And, finally, haven't you thought how
nice it would be to have a garden of
your own?
Well, 1t is all up to you. Now is the.
time. The backyard garden is a big
payer in health and satisfaction. and
as for cutting down the "high cost of
living"-well, if President Wilson's s
new tariff were as certain of results
he wouldn't need to be so much
troubled about the prospects of re-
| election as he appears just now.

EXCELLENT DISCIPLINE

rHE utility of the fire drill was
never better illustrated in this
i vicinity than yesterday when
what at first appeared to be a
serious FIRE broke out in the large pub
bic school building at Lemoyne Fire
Us less to be feared in its results where
large numbers of people are gathered
together than are the panics which it
go often causes Especially difficult Is
IL 10 restrain children when the fire
scare is upon them. and Principal w
y. Bowman and his force OF teachers
ought TO receive the thanks of every
parent with :hld in the school for
the splendid discipline that enabled
all to get out without injury. The res
cue work of the high school boys and
girls is also a matter for commenda-
ton.
The fact that the fire was extin-
guished before it got much headway
does not minimize these efforts in the
least. The big fact is that when the
cry of fire went up there was no
panic.

THE MODERN GIRL

We knock and criticise her.
We scold, apostrophize her,
We wish that she were wiser,
More capable and kind.
Her path we're always stalking
TO criticise her talking,
Her clothes. her ways of walking.
Her manners and her mind.
We say "Oh, highly tightly,
She's frivolous and Eighty
And all her ways are mighty
Undignified to see;
She dances and she chatters.
Our golden rule she skaters
And laughs at serious matters
With unabated glee"
We chide and we correct her.
We shadow and detect her,
We study and dissect her,
With all her smiles and tears.
And find, on looking DER her
(And learning to adore her),
She's just like girls before her,
For twenty thousand years!
