was accustomed to have the waiter
bring him piece of meat between
slices of bread. which he ate without
stopping his play. Did you ever give

WHEN THE SWINE Ca
VORTED ON FELIX ST.


through Felix street on his triumphal
entry"
81 am not casting aspersions on the
property owners whose places of bus
mess front this present day 'wailow,
but I DO not feel that my remarks
will hurt the officials, whose duty 1t
is to see that such conditions do not
exist-and / hope they will get under
| their hides trifle at least.
An Anu-Hog Election
"And this reminds me of the time"
he continued. that the late George
Buell.. who operates the Buell. Wooden
! Mills for years, was elected one spring
on an anti-Felix street hog 'wallow
platform. The people of the city d.
vided on the question of whether
Felix should be a mud bath resort for
the swine or If it should be purged Of
the iniquity. George Buell. made his
campaign on a platform which de-
cree1 that the swine and her brood
should be banished from the confin rs
of Felix street, and after a red hot
campaign, he won. He introduced
and had passed an ordinance tha.
drove the swine nursery from Felix
but that was the last and only time
that he broke into the council. After
the swine hegira he made second
race-and that was all that there vas
to it-he Just ran, and that was all.
The people south of Felix who had
used that street for their swine nurs-
cry just literally snowed-or mudded
him under--why he did not get as
many votes as Taft did states
when he ran against Wilson, and that
was the last of the attempts to rid
Felix of its swine pest until after the
street was paved-and the contractor
used such big rocks that the nogs
could not get their snouts under them
far enough to root them out"
Possibly this was a homely way in
which this estimable citizen vented
his indignation, but it is a good sub
stantial way at that. The present
condition of Felix street at the points
mentioned are a disgrace to any city
and a sad commentary on an admin
istration which started out with such
blare Of trumpets and beating of
tom toms and hew-gaws to make st.
Joseph 'the best city in the West"

AND THEY JUST SIMPLY OBEY

AM ihEl JtSi SiMfbb oBIIN
with abject apologies to Chris Neipp)
When the government orders the din
ing car men
To serve smaller portions of stew,
And to charge just as high for one
slice of mince pie
As they formerly soaked you for
two,
They don't consult lawyers and carry
the case
Clear up to the uppermost courts,
They simply obey the hard rule right
away
Like cheerful and unselfish sports.
When hotel proprietors get a com.
mand
To ward off a shortage of meat
On account of the war by assessing
you more
And giving you far less to eat,
They don't make a row or attempt TO
resist
UT taIK OF unlaWtul restraint,
They just hike the tolls like good,
sweet-natured souls
With never a word of complaint.
No slackers are found among dealers
in food,
They'll put bigger hicks in your
salaries,
And each dawning day they will find
new way
To cut down your portion OF calorles.
The government merely need give
them a tip
To shorten the stock of ingredients
In hash. bread or pie and they all will
comply
With prompt and implicit obedience.

The enthusiasm shown In the recent
gardening movement was not, by any
means, confined TO rural districts

were under cultivation. Garden meet

ture were distributed free. II each
plot grew $40 vDth Of foodstuffs
the total value would be $4,000. 900.

Constantine, emperor of Rome, to-

because of his increasing reverence

cross was confined to slaves or male
