Being a little short of material
this week we asked the, devil to
write us a short article against
the use Of slang. He did. Here
it is:
If there is anything that gets
our Nanny it is the use of slang.
Some guys spill so much of that
kind of dope th9t it is hard to
get wise to their spiel. Kids
should be put next by their par
ents that slang is on the Fritz and
should ought to be cut out. If |
had a kid that couldn't put over
straight stuff | would wallop the
lining out of the lobster. Skirts
are shines, proper, when it comes
to slang. They think that "mer-
cy," and Il should say not" are
real tough. The Boss is a dish
of prunes when it comes to slang.
He bawls me out to a fare We we'll
and | am in Dutch from the time
| come on the job till haying time
in the evening. This is the first
thing | have ever wrote and if it
don't show up in the rag | will
know it is a fiivver proper.

A Desirable lob.

Ever since the United States
agreed to attend to Germany's in
terests when Constantinople falls,
there has been the ungodliest sort
of scramble among the American
representatives on that side of
the world for the express honor
of smuggling up to and looking
after the ladies of the Sultan's
harem. If there is a frst-class
plenipotentiary among them now
is the time for him to show us
how grandly he can plenipotensh.

In the light of this showing good
roads are clearly entitled to be
called crop producers.
From an average cost of haul
ing over the old roads of 20 cents
a ton mile the cost fell to IL cents
alton mile, or a saving offs cents,
which on a total of $4,000 ton
miles represents a return of 40
per cent annually on the original
outlay. 1t is well to talk in tangi-
bic figures of the saving that bet
ter highways bring. In a gener-
al way their comfort and conven-
fence are appreciated but the tax
payer needs to be persuaded in

send savings institutions into
bankruptcy. And yet the good
roads in a Virginia county are
shown to have returned 40 per
cent interest on the investment.
The figures on which this esti-
mate is based are derived from a
specific study of all the factors
OF the problem, a study conduct
ed by the government. A bond
issue of 100000 was used to i'm
prove forty miles of road. Two
years after the completion of the

He Called Her Down.

A choice bit Of gossip has been
going the rounds for the past
week. The principal parties con-
nected with the affair are well
known, which makes the story all
the more sensational. A husband
and wife are mixed up in the scan
dial, and what makes it doubly
startling is the fact that each of
them has always had the entire
respect of the community. AS a
matter of fact the bomb exploded
at the home of this couple at the
very moment there had arrived
at their house a party Of twenty
or twenty-five of our best people,
who had gone there to surprise
the couple on their wedding ami
Versary. Neither Of the princi-
pals expected company. The as
constituent Of. the visitors may
be imagined when they heard the
husband call his wife down. He
made nebonss.ofit- Itwas done
openly and without even a hint
Of apology to the guests. The
shocking part of it is the fact
that everyone, even the closest
friends of the couple, had no idea
but that their home life was ideal.
Nevertheless, and we have the
best of authority for the story
when the company arrived they
were met at the door by the aston
ished husband. AS soon as the
first greetings were over he said
MY wife is up stairs, l will call
her down." And he did.
