FATHE r.

n &g.et FA1HER. rt%F
He was not the kind of a father that
! you, read about in books;
He wasn't long on language, and he
49, wasn't strong on looks;
He was not the sort Of father that you
hear about in plays;
He was just human father with
human fathers ways.
No, he never baked at working, but
when he was through 1t once
Right down to the grass was father,
with the children, doing stunts.
All of us could pile upon him, and
he'd welcome all the pack.
But I'm wondering after play time
did we stay thereon MS oacR.
Wasn't strong on dissipation; said his
.gambol on the green
Was to fill the platter faster than the
kids could lick it clean.
And the next best game he knew OF
was an equal one to beat,
It was keeping leather covers up to
the supply of feet.
Always on the job was father, plug
cling steadylike and strong.
Never making any noise, but helping
all his little world along
] And to think-Lord amt 1t funny you
can see things years and years
| And vet never know you've seen
them till your eyes are blind
with tears?
Quit his job one day and left US, smil-
! ing as he went away,
Eulogy seems all 50 foolish. What can
anybody say?
! Seemed like even in his leaving he
/ was saving someone bother
For the one word on the granite
which lies over him Is Father.

novel Ents rtainment.


The Ladies society OF the First
Christian church, gave a novel enter.
tainment last night in the parlors Of
the church. For many years, they
have given on Washington's birthday
a reception attended by George and
Martha Washington. but this year 1t
was much more modern affair. An
automobile race was held with ]. O..
Boyd as time keeper. Four cars were
entered. the REQ, with E. L. Aldrich
as chauffeur; Buick run by John Nc
Cleary; Overland by l.. G. Mckinley
and the Ford by J. W. Talley. The
judges of the race were the Rev. VIM.
Baker, John Peterson and l.. D. Dav-
idson. The race was won by E. L..
Aldrich in the REQ, the prize being q
Ratchet. A bean hunt followed. which
the children especially enjoyed. Little
Dorothy McCleary won the prize. a
box of candy. The tables from which
refreshments were served, were laid
with crepe paper luncheon sets in the
national colors. The parlors were
very attractively decorated in red,
white and blue bunting and large
flags. The committee to whom credit
is due for the successful. evening was
Mrs Claude Owens. Mrs. E. l.. Aid

adopted. The State has been thor
oughly organized by the suffrage
forces There is every assurance that
the vote on the question will be large;
much larger than that ever before cast
on a constitutional amendment. All
over the State men who are leaders of
thought are avowed advocates of the
suffrage cause Whatever opposition
there is comes almost entirely from a
few interests inherently opposed to
women voting.
All these conditions, and many
others, each one highly important in
itself indicates the adoption of
Amendment No. l Political observers
of long experience agree with this
view.
Campaign Well Organized
The New Jersey election was a
campaign. For months at the State
headquarters of the Pennsylvania
Woman Suffrage Association here, and
in county and community suffrage or
Ganizations all over the State, a steady
constructive campaign, which had for
its primary purpose carrying the sui
frage amendment to the individual
voters. has been going on. influential
men were induced to take active part
in local campaigns. Oranges, church
governing bodies and subordinate so
cieties, labor unions municipal im-
provement clubs and many other kinds
of organizations were brought within
the influence of the movement with
such success that a mere enumera-
tion of the bodies that have formally
endorsed suffrage and pledged the sup
port of their members at the polls
would occupy the better part of an
ordinary newspaper column.
While this was going on, a suffrage
= A%anization was built up that for
Wmpleteness, reach, responsiveness
and effectiveness far eXcels everything
of the kind ever attempted among
women in this country. All this was
accomplished quietly. There was no
sensationalism nor the slightest sug-
gestion of militancy.

NEW QUARANTINE
AMENDMENT OUT
Illinois Cattle May Go Through
Pennsylvania, but Can Not
Linger Here

The State Livestock Sanitary Board
last night made public an amendment
to its quarantine orders against Illinois
on account of foot and mouth disease
in which changes are made in accord
ance with the federal regulations.
The new order becomes effective on
November | and reads:
mo cattle, sheep, other ruminants
or swine that originate in any part of
the State of Illinois under federal
quarantine will be permitted to be un-
loaded in Pennsylvania for any pur-
pose.
Cattle. sheep, other ruminants or
swine that originate in the State of
Illinois under federal restricted quar-
antine and handled in accordance with
federal regulations will be permitted
TO be shipped through, but not un-
loaded in, Pennsylvania.
mo cattle, sheep, other ruminants
or swine that originate in the State of
Illinois under federal closed, exposed
or modified quarantine will be per-
mitted to enter or pass through Penn
sylvania for any purpose.
This regulation supersedes amend
ment 4, effective October 13, 1916"

until after my election in the early
part of November. This sum was put
at interest before I took the oath of
office, and therefore l claim no credit
for it. other than that the money was
not invested until after a change in
the administration of the water de-
partment became apparent. Accord
ing to all existing reports of the water
department, if any surplus was put at
interest to earn money for the people
previous to that time, there is nothing
to show it.
However, ! did say, and I repeat
that on April 8, 1915, in my annual
report, read in Council, as appears on
page of the printed pamphlet,
asked Council to direct the Sinking
Fund Commission, of which Mayor
Royal w. l.. GorEas and Owen NJ.
Copelin were and are now members,
to invest at interest for the taxpayers
$50, 900 of the surplus earnings, the
total of which was $4,000. which left
me an ample reserve fund of $24,00
for emergencies.
"T knew that the sooner this was
put on interest the more it would earn
for the taxpayers. notwithstanding
this and subsequent reminder, this
money was not put at interest by the
Sinking Fund Commission until Sep
tember. Due to this careleSsness, the
taxpayers lost the interest that would
have been otherwise earned during
about five months. In other words,
the city lost approximately $1,000 be.
cause my recommendation was not
promptly adopted.
with reference to the 1918 report
of the water department. The Patriot
says that there was a net cash earning
of $93.592.31. This. however, did not
include State tax on loans of S2,5112O.
It also did not include the sinking

City Treasurer Copelin stated to-
day that the $4,000 to which refer
ence was made as not having been
placed at interest was a misreprcsen-
tation of the fact and that this sum
was at interest when Mr.. Bowman
took office. Mr.. Bowman explains the

aside for Sunday use. | took ii
along to Sunday School and |
noticed the boys kept snickering
but didn't know what was the
matter til one of them took me
aside and said, Major l notice
from the paper on your jug you
use a good brand of whiskey
may want to get a little for
medical purposes.
like to have fallen in my
tracks as T turned that Jug up
and read on that big red paper
Zone Gallon of fine old Kentucky
Whiskey" | wentout at the back
door of the church and scrapped
for half an hour to get rid of
that sign. Just think of it a
noted temperance man at Sunday
School advertising whiskey.
After this I'll read the paper
before ever lay hands on the jug
