ART NOT ACQUIRED BY ALL
Really Proficient Nagger Is Born so,
but Accomplishment Is One That
Can Be Acquired.

Nagging your husband is a special
art by itself, and while some women
have a natural gift in that direction,
others can only acquire it by constant
application. A husband in house is
something like hippopotamus. He is
often dull, placid creature, hard to
move or dislodge, especially if he gets
accustomed to a favorite chair. He
often becomes toughened by exposure
TO constant nagging, and it takes
powerful weapon with a fairly high
trajectory to do him any damage. Oc-
casionally, however, he develops SEN
sitive areas, and can become a con-
slant source of pleasure to any lady
who likes to nag.
Every woman knows, of course, that
her husband is more susceptible about
half an hour before dinner when he
has come home from the office tired
out. BY studying him carefully she
will discover certain days in the
month when she can nag him with the
highest percentage of bull's-eyes.
The art of nagging, however, is not
all objective. Much can be done from
the subjective standpoint. By intimat-
ing to her husband in many ways,
which she can easily learn by prac-
tice, that she is the most abused lady
on earth, she can derive a whole pro-
gram of amusement. The historical
method-that of dragging up some
dead, forgotten thing and talking
about it all over again, and still over
again-is also a splendid form of nag
ging.
Some wives. however, so blind are
they, never see this at all. They just
go on, hopefully trying to make their
husbands happy. The high art of nag
ging is not given to every woman

ANN ExATION,

Wauwatosa may be annexed to Mil
wraukee whether she so desires or no.:
if Tax Commissioner Bodden anc
Comptroller Kotecki and a committee
of Milwaukee real estate men can ge>
the legislature to pass certain bills,
and what for?
We do not believe that Wauwatosa
people care to join Milwaukee for the
simple reason that there isenothing to
gain. Our taxes would shoot upward
and all the money would go TO the city
OF Milwaukee, and poor old Wauwa
tosa could wait for any improvements
that she would want We are getting
along well at the present time.
We have our own waterworks and
everybody knows we do not have to
doctor our water to make it pure, and
we all know what has happened and
what is happening with the lake wa.
ter.
Milwaukee will find out that they
will have fight on their hands and
we do not believe that the legislature
will pass laws forcing our little city
into Milwaukee when we are DESTROYS
OF staying outside Wauwatosa does
not ask anything of Milwaukee and
never has. We have everything at
home that we need.
1t looks to us that our neighbor is
looking for more territory to give the
officials a chance to raise more bonds
for certain improvements in Milwau,
kee. We all know our taxes are high
enough at the present time, but you
can rest assured that if we should be
taken into the city they would double
When it comes time for action let
the people of Wauwatosa vote on the
question and let the majority rule
We do believe that territory in Cen
ter City where Milwaukee is furnish
ing water and fire protection should
go into the city. There are a number
of breweries and manufacturers in
that territory that should be willing
to join Milwaukee for the simple rea
son that they have all the benefits OF
the city proper.
No doubt there will be a large mum
Der of people not only from Wauwa.
tosa but also from West Allis at Mad
ison to oppose this scheme.

Rocks Decay From .ieat.

The rocks in the desert are said to
waste away even more rapidly than
those exposed to continuous water ero-
sion, an example being Southwestern
deserts, where the change of tempera-
ture from 125 degrees at noon to 20
or so at night causes stone to crumble
rapidly under the extremes of expan-
sion and contraction. - Indianapolis

This is but e fraction of the thou sand and one enterprises which are being financed by the Red Cross war fund, administered by some of the wisest business men in our country. very large majority of whom are not only giving all their time to the work but are also making tremendous money contributions to it's support.
 According to its custom, in Septem- Der the New London County AgricuI- tural society held its annual fair on Labor day and the two succeeding days. Sept. Sd. 4th and 9th.

 The war council has issued an ex- tensive report of their work and ex- renditures for the three months end ing Sept. 1st. which report I should be very glad to loan to anyone infer ested in the detail.

 It is to be regretted that we are un- able to again offer these classes to the public. The d.ff1culty arises from our inability to secure sufficient pupils to occupy the entire time of a nurse.

 On the 10th of May the president of the United States, always president of tEe American Red Cross appointed Red Cross war council composed of S.. with H. P. Davtson of J. P.

This council held it's first conference in Washington May 24 and 35 and was attended by representatives from 40 cities invited to Washington by President Wilson for the purpose of inaugurating nation wide campaign, to be waged during the week of June 1925. to raise funds with which to finance the Red Cross during the war. The goal to be reached was the astounding sum of $100,000,Q00. Each and every chapter received its allotment After strenuous member ship campaign in Norwich. the raising of s1o0,000 for Y. M. c.

 As the appeals for assistance from this fund had been fewer in number than formerly. and as the demands oc- casioned by the war were steadily in- creasing, it seemed wise not to con duct the sale aggressively. but rather to let the occasion serve as an oppor- tunity to those willing to continue their aid in this ever-needed charity.
