Moscow is to show her mettle on

can break away from his work long
enough to be entertained.
The program is very simple. Its
success will depend wholly on the
spirit of the day-every citizen of
Moscow is on the reception commit
tee, every man with a badge is an
honored guest.
Honor All Soldiers
By the unanimous vote of the COM
mittee the members of the Civil war
and Spanish war veterans were added
to the 1872 men whose names are on
the registration roll for the present
war A special invitation and badge
have been sent to all the registered
men This will be done with the
soldiers of the other war just as soon
as the names can be obtained. Among
the veterans of the Civil war those
who wore the grey and those who
wore the blue are all included.
The Program in Brief
These badges will entitle teh wear
ers to all the courtesies that Moscow
can extend. In brief the program will
be as follows:

VOTE Is Light
ON BOND ISSUE

The vote on the water and sewer
bond issue up to noon today was light,
and unless there is big Jump this
afternoon it is doubtful If the total
reaches 1900. There appears to be.
however, practically no opposition to
the bonds and from present, indica-
tions it looks as If they will carry.
A canvass of the various polling
booths shortly after noon today show
ed that there. had been approximately
1900 votes cost, the heaviest being in
the ninth precinct of the fifth district,
totaling 81.
When the voting opened this morn
ing at o'clock, there was q hitch at
the fourth precinct fourth district. c.
T. Iittlejohn Is chairman there OF, the
inspectors but as he could not be pre-
sent John H Soper took his place. 1t
appears, however, that Soper had not
been sworn in by the secretary and
Littlejohn had to rush to the booth
shortly after to get things started.
This morning the bond issue auto
mobile gaily decorated with flags and
bunting and filled with musicians
drove about the streets as means
Of reminding electors to vote for the
bonds.
Harry Murray. superintendent of
the water and sewer department, was
very optimistic today, He has work
ed hard and not stone has been left
unturned by him to assure the pass
age of the bonds. ut has been an
uphill fight" he said this afternoon,
but the evident lack of opposition all
over the city today would Indicate
that the bonds will pass with a vote
of well. over the required so per cent. !"
Because of the heavy amount of
work which is being done at Pearl
Harbor now, II was impossible for the
authorities to allow the civilian en-
ployes to leave, early enough to re-
turn to the city and vote. In the city,
however, many of the firms are per-
hitting the employees to leave long
enough to, vote.

Aesop up.to.pate.

Once upon a time, there was a
crafty old iON that went and got mar
ried. But marriage didn't care him.
He loved to mingle with the boys and
have a good time where tie white
lights palpitate like a headache On the
morning after.
And the wife, who was more or less
guilelcss, gradually became wise to the
ways OF the world. The fox exhaust
ed all of his excuses, and she got hep
TO his every move.
One morning, about a. m. he cam.
staggering in with a napkin under his
chin and a lady's fan in his vest
pocket.
Where have you been?" she asked.
YEARLY, he responded: "There's no
use abiding this time. I've been out on
bat"
And she, knowing that he always
lied, refused to believe him and gave
him credit for sitting up with a sick
friend.
! Moral: Honesty is the best policy.

WHEN COUNTRY WAS YOUNG
Two Historic lnaugurals That Recall
Early Days in the History of Our
Country.

When Madison took the oath he was
! escorted merely by two troops of cav
airy, who brought him back to his own
residence, which he had occupied as
secretary of state under Jefferson.
That night he was given the first in
augural ball ct Longs hotel on Capitol
hill, which, according to the newspa-
pers of that day, was so crowded and
hot that panes Of the windows were
broken TO give more ventilation.
The Inauguration of Andrew Jack
son was attended by a larger crowd
than had ever visited the capital be-
fore, and the accommodations being
poor, many slept on the park benches.
JacksOn's personality was one to eX-
cite curiosity, since, in addition to win
ming the battle of New Orleans and
fighting in many Indian wars, he had
fought several duels, threatened to
hang everybody who opposed him, and
broken several laws which did not suit
him. Like Jefferson, he was extremely
democratic. On the day he was inaugur-
ated the White House was thrown open
for a reception in the afternoon, anu
the whole nation was invited. The re-
suit was disastrous. Diplomats, great
ladies and congressman were trampled
upon and jostled about by the prolet-
ariat, VIII stood upon the delicately
upholstered chairs and sofas, grabbed
the refreshments and smashed the
china, and finally ended by carrying
pals of punch and ices away with
them.

BAD HABITS TO BE AVOIDED
Incorrect Pastures, Sitting or Stand
ing, Lead to Ills Which Creep
Upon the Individual.

The significance of the postures hab-
ltually assumed by individuals is the
subject of serious consideration by
physicians at present. Exhaustive in
vestigations seem to indicate pretty
conclusively that bad postures, such as
STOPPING shoulders, contracted chests
or protruding abdomens, are not mere
ly the result of careless habits in the
individual, but are due to some slight
physical deformity which should be
corrected. Generally speaking, persons
who have bad posture habits are not
very robust.
Everyone has observed that persons
who are fatigued drop into bad pos
lures temporarily; and there are many
examples Of unusually robust persons
with whom bad posture was chronic.
Abraham Lincoln, for example, stopped
badly; but he was very powerful and
never sick. Nevertheless, a tendency
to bad posture undoubtedly "adds to
the trend toward weakness and chronic
disease" particularly in individuals
who are not naturally rugged.

Start a Snail Farm.

All snails are edible and nutritious.
Even the common garden snail, though
insipld, is as nourishing as calf's foot
jelly.
There is a large white-shelled snail
called Helix pomatia that is commonly
eaten by cOnnoisseurs in the South of
England, while all over France, Italy
and Spain several species are used for
food. In France there are many small
snail farms which yield a good profit
to their owners. In the French and
Italian quarters of New York snails
may be bought, either alive or cooked,
and at most of the French restaurants
they are served "escargOts farcis" be
ing the most usual form Of the dish.
Snails are easy to raise in large
quantities. They need lime for making
their shells, but they do not have t.
be fed. as they can find their own
food, which is the leaves of many
plants. They eat nothing else.

"Old Mother Hubbard!"

Probably few people could say who
wrote "Mother Hubbard" and fewer
still know where the writer is buried.
The author was Sarah Catherine Mar
tin and she was buried at Loughton, In
Essex, England. Miss Martin was
born in January, 176s, and was about
thirty-seven years old when she wrote
the story of the old lady and her dog.
Tradition says the original "Old Moth
or Hubbard" was the housekeeper at
Kitley Hall, Yealmpton, the residence
of Miss Martins married sister. AT
any rate, IL was when on a visit to
her sister at Kitley that the famous
rhyme was penned. The original pub.
licatlon Is still at Kitley and cup.
board is pointed out as being the soup
