OLD FASHIONED POLITICS

/ Terre Haute is described as hav-

ship of politics with vice and crime.

Great cities in the United States
are no longer as corrupt as they
were when political parties were less

disaffection of respectable rank and

personal organs of corrupt politicians.
A saving spirit of independence OF
bosses and parties charaeterizes the
press In the larger centers OF popu-

rapidly to the smaller cities. Wher-
ever publicity is clean the character

Efficiency Methods That EconomIze

Even In ma aking bed you can econo-
mize time and effort. First pull the
bed out from the wall when you are
making It up and see how many steps
may be saved by your being able to
go around the head as well as the foot.
1t is not necessary to run from one
side to the other with each blanket or
sheet you spread. You can spread
the lower sheet. tuck In the top by
raising the head of the mattress, then
run the hands under the mattress, thus
turning the under sheet down the near
side and so across the foot and up the
far side. You have then walked once
around the bed.
Now spread the upper sheet and blan-
kets. turn down the top OF the upper
sheet over the blankets and tuck
around the bed once again. The bed
spread can be adjusted on the third
and last round. Be sure to keep pat
ting the bed fat and smooth and fold
In and square OF the corners as you
tuck them In. Everything should be
done with the utmost precision and ex-
actness. Each blanket and sheet should
lie smooth and square. Never cover
up a wrinkle II you want a good look

OUR TINY KINGLETS.


on CroWneo BIRD.
II pride could add anything to the
stature Of a bird the golden crowned
kinglet should have grown an inch or
90 during the last 1000 and odd years,
but II is the same diminutive creature
that It was I'm the days Of ancient
Greece. The kinglet, no bigger than
your thumb, has the high honor of hav-
ing been named by Aristotle. and the
name has clung to 1t through the long
centuries since Alexanders tutor stud
fed nature.
The golden crowned kinglet and his
congener, the ruby crowned kfnglet
are the smallest American birds, bar
ring only the members Of the hum
ming tribe. Aristotle looked on the
golden crowned kinglet and, taking out
his writing material. set 1t down that
he had that day seen bird which was
hardly larger than locust" The phil
losopLer looked at the little circling
crown of golden feathers which his
newly found feathered friend wore and
instantly he dubbed the bird "tyran-
nos"
In that age the word which Aristotle
used had not taken on the "tyrannicar'
significance which afterward II held. 1t
was significant only OF kingship, and
while royalty even then may have had
much I'm common with tyranny the lit
tie bird escaped stigma which no act
of It then or since could have made de-
served

tion 10 MostIy 0rssn.
Doubtless many have wondered why
tho vegetation Of the earth u mostly
green. That Ia, not what makes Il
green, but why It is that color instead
Of blue or red Or purple.
Moisture, 1t has been found, will be
collected by the green foliage In proper
quantities while foliage Of other colors
Will not be properly nourished by the
dews and moisture from earth and at
mosphere.
A rather curious experiment proves
this.
Paint a piece Of glass yellow, another
green and one red and one black and
place all these painted pieces Of glass
out In the open air over night during a
summer or autumn night.
When examined early the following
morning II will be found that the yel-
low piece will be very wet and the
green piece only fairly moist while tho
red and black pieces will be dry.
This is proof that yellow foliage
would collect too much dampness, and
the red and black would gather none.
Green, which collects the medium
amount Of moisture, seems TO be the
color best adapted to the conditions ex-
listing throughout the earth
