EVEN OLD ROME HAD ITS TROUBLE
 WITH BUILDING
Scraps Between Contractor, Labor and Architect Elk
 isted as at Present Time
(By Noble Foster Hoggson)

AAJy LvVpA0 E SSSEA ALgS6SCAJ
 It was by no accident that writer of time-hanowed words was in a pes sfmistic mood when he remarked that there is nothing new under the sun. There isn't in the way of troubles. Only cures for ills are new; our pres ent crop of troubles was grown with civilization or sometime before. He who builds may fancy. in the fever of newly discovered mental agitation, that the advent of the evil was coin- cident with the beginning of his ac- Quaintance with it But the case is not 90 simple as that; it Is no per sonal affair The malignant Fate that sometimes seems to follow building operations has not, In an. excess of personal spite, selected one lone in dividual ms the victim of her spleen
 If oneSwho has conceived that lofty passion, sometimes described as the desire to build and has found that e must pay for that passion in agony of spirit. if not in tears, let him re- member and be comforted thereby that his problem is age-old and that he has won membership in a noble company
 Among tHe ancient Greeks, the woes of faulty specifications, of useless ex- tras pdled up by interruptions con- tractors, of guesswork where exacH- tude was demanded, of mechanics liens and unexpected bills from ma- terial men-all these were old when Athens was a huddle of tents about h bald, towering hill and Sparta was thing undreamed. So in Ephesus the Magnificent, the city fathers made it . law and wrote 1t in the books that the architect, who was at onct : the designer and contractor, should ( be held financially responsible if hi. estimates and his bills ran more thar twenty-f five per centum apart Lessel discrepancies were made good by tn, city, which licensed the architects.
 We learn from '@vitruvius, the Tel Books of Architecture lately trans
 lated anew from the Latin by Morri

 mented the 's o'- -,- '-w as pro tected the Ephesians. for the ban

A PROGRESSIVE SOUTHERN
GOVERNOR

Governor Bilbo, of Mississippi,
seems to be a progressive on taxation,
if his personal organ, The Issue, pub
lished at Jackson expresses his
views. Robert S. Phifer, SingletaX-
er and candidate for mayor, in his
platform advocates the tax system
that has made Houston, Texas, fam
Gus. In his campaign statement, Mr..
Phifer speaks of the good results oD-
tained in Houston by eXempting per
sonal property and assessing improve
ments at lower rate than land val
ues. In regard to affairs in Jackson,
which he would reform, he says:
LAS it is now, men are heavily tax
ed if they work and build, but lightly
taxed if they gamble in land. But
under my administration the present
policy will be reversed"
In commenting on this, Governor
Bilbo's paper says:
His arguments are unansWerable,
and he backs up every proposition he
makes, in his speeches on the stump
Mr.. Pliers theory of taxation is not
altogether new, and is being practis-
ed by other cities similar to Jackson
with great success"
Let Governor Bilbo keep up that
pace, and he will become famous out
side of Mississippi.

CAN'T LECTURE; JUST TALKS
ABOUT HIS WORK AS FARMER
Tells of Failures as Well as Successes.
Never Did Anything Unusual.

81 cannot lecture but just talk to
farmers" says c. H. Swan, a speaker
at the coming farmers institute. Il
have never done anything unusual
that would attract wide attention, but
have tried to farm right so far as |
know | tell others my mistakes as
well as my successes, gained through
costly experiences. Grain farming
with enough livestock to consume the
roughage is my speciality; wheat is my
principal crop. l was the first to ap.
ply lime in my vicinity. The practice
mas given me great results. l have
given the manure problem much
thought and have not thrown a fork
full into the barnyard for five years"
Included in Mr.. Swans list of talks
are the following topics: "How Do
You Buy Commercial Fertilizers? 2"
''Hnw l Handle the Manure Crop"
Lining the Soil," Wheat as a Money
Crop" Cooperation for the Farmer
and Delivering the Goods"
Mr.. Swan, is among the State
speakers who will appear on the pro-
gram at he Chattanooga farmers in
stitute next week

THE "GET-TOGETHER" SOCIAL A
GRAND SUCCESS

The social given in the parlors of
the Lutheran church Tuesday even
ing proved a grand success in very
particular At the opening all pres
ent joined in singing the national
hymn America" and that spiritual
battle hymn, Onward Christian Sol
diers" In a short address of well
come Rev. Reitz stated the object of
this social meeting.
The male quartette sang several
humorous selections which were ap-
preciated by all. This was followed
by a humorous recitation entitled
"The Quartette Choir" by Ralph
Reitz. There We're also recitations
by Harold Kistler, Marcella Reitz and
Alberta Cole The Donkey contest
by the married folks and the conver-
sational contest by the young people
were very interesting. Those hon
ored with prizes were Mr.. and Mrs.
f. Suhr, Goldie Enyart and Philip
Linn The choral society entertain
ed the large audience with two beau
tiful selections.
Mr.. Kettner a native of Austria,
who recently moved to Celina, was
asked to relate his experience in this
country and in Canada. His talk
proved very interesting to all who
could understand the German Ian
guage in which he spoke.
After lunch, which the ladies of
the congregation kindly served, Judge
H. A. Miller gave an appropriate ad-
dress. He called attention to the
fact that the congregation is now in
possession of a valuable and beauti-
full church property, all of which was
accomplished in the space of a few
years, and urged the congregation to
press forward with that Christian
zeal which by the grace of God is al
ways crowned with success. The
male quartette rendered several more
selections which were enjoyd by all.
At late hour all departed for their
homes knowing that it was good to
be there.

APPROVING SUFFRAGE

We note in the reports that the Re
publicans in the legislature are gen.
orally in favor of the measure provid-
ing for woman suffrage. Why can
not this be said of the Democrats?
What is the sense in putting this re-
form off any longer. We will have
to come to it some time, and in very
few years it will be no pleasant rec
objection of any member of the legis-
lature that he voted against woman
suffrage. And, indeed, it might be
pleasant recollection when the wo-
men get to voting that he did. The
women are going to have a voice in
the coming elections, and no temper
izing now will exclude them from it.
Who wants to occupy a PLACE in the
band-wagon as it moves along in the
triumphant procession had better
jump into it now, so as to participate
in the coming triumphs. Far better
to do that than lag along in the ranks
of defeat.-Ohio State Journal.

NO ROOM FOR ARGUMENT

There's no room for argument
about granting Ohio women the right
to vote for president No member Of
the legislator need consult his party
bosses to find out how he ought to
vote.
No matter whether he was elected
as a Democrat or Republican, he was
pledged by his party platform before
he was elected.
The only way voters can tell the
differnce between Democrats and Re-
publicans is by reading the party plat
forms.
And as both parties solemnly
pledged themselves TO suffrage for
women, there Is no differnce between
Ohio Democrats and Republicans on
that issue.
So the vote Of the Ohio legislature
for presidential suffrage for women
should be nonpartisan and unani-
nous.
As both Democratic ana hepuDll-
can members OF the legislature are
publicly pledged to support suffrage
and are in honor bound to vote for
presidential suffrage for women, any
member who violates his pledge thus
satisfies the people OF Ohio that he
is not a man of his word and that the
public can't safely bank on his honor
Arguments for or against suffrage
cut no figure now. The time for ar
gument in Ohio has gone by Both
parties solemnly pledged themselves
for suffrage.
Every member of the Legislature
was elected knowing he was pledged
by his party platform. There is only
one thing for a man Of honor to do
let him make good on his pledge

RESISTANT VARITIES SAVE CAB.
BAGE INDUSTRY

Successful cabbage growers near
Clyde, Ohio, after six years trials in
cooperation with the Ohio Expert
ment Station, have obtained strains
resistant to yellows disease, or Fus-
arium wilt. The All-seasons variety
has shown the least tendency to this
disease, and it also possesses quail
tie demanded by the kraut industry
Plants have been selected for seed
which have shown the strongest
growth and greatest freedom from
disease.
This procedure in combating cab
bage yellows has proved far more sue
cessful than soil sterilization and 9th
er direct control methods, growers
say. Under conditions of continual
attack by disease, certain plants de-
velop characteristics that ward off
ravages of such parasites. By con-
tinual careful selection and propaga-
ton desired types are produced that
thrive even where disease is album
dant, while common varities die or
else yield poor returns.
The especially resistant strains of
the All-Seasons cabbage have been
named the Clyde Series Nos. ] to T.
Nos. l, 2 and 4, have proved most re-
sistant. Within year. or two the
Experiment Station expects to distrib-
ute the seed of these strains to grow
ers.

WILSON AND BRYAN

Wilson the President. Bryan the
Citizen. World giants. Each has
reached such lofty plane that he al
most lives alone. They neither fear
nor follow precedent. They travel
where highways never ran. The
blazed trail has no lure for them
Wilson bolts into the American Sen
ate. Looks at startled Senators while
he talks to the world. Bryan can
stand at the edge Of either ocean and
talk in a whisper. Washington and
politicians in every state have ears
that hear him. Office would not
make him greater. Wilson and Bry-
an have the same text-"Peace on
earth, good will to men," Let us
hope that these two Titans can take
hold of earth's four corners and lift
it out of the blood-red hell of war

He exploded his own dynamite in his

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit Of DIR. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no bad
after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold Of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not TO
take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
