M atchIess,

The treasurer of a certain Indian
apOlis concern desired to smoke while
at the office Monday morning. Feeling
in his pocket he discovered he had no
matches. He went to some Of the 9TH
er employees of the Office, who also
were without the much-wanted match.
He sent the office boy TO the drug store
for a box. He returned in few min
utes with word that drug stores could
sell only drugs on Monday. Suddenly
remembering that he could surely get
one in the cafeteria downstairs,
he was told by one Of the maids that
the matches were in a locked closet
and one Of the cooks who had just left
had the keys. One of the maids sug
gested that he light his cigar on one
of the gas burners that had not been
turned off. Selling the opportunity
as his last chance he returned to his
office, where he spent so much time
talking about 1t that the cigar went
out.-Indianapolis News.

GOOD IN old DAYS
Modern Life by No Means Has
Monopoly of Virtues.
And Prominent Among the Things It
Lacks Is That "NeighborIiness"
That Meant So Much in
the Byeone Years.

Neighborliness is product Of rural
localities that deserves transportation
to cities, and sedulous nurture there
that it may continue to grow. "Who,
then, is my neighbour" the man Gin
the city pent" asks himself, as he re-
CARDS row of similar house fronts
and reflects on the fact that he has
only a nodding acquaintance at best
with the majority of the inmates.
Independence Is fostered by the
conditions of living in the country. Or
dinarily we do not need the help Of
the next house, near or far. But let
fire come, or a destructive storm, or
a predatory visitor, or a serious ILL
ness, and the neighbor may be as well
come as angels.
City life is often a battle Of the
strong, because there are crowds and
many shuffiing feet to be shod. If we
let ourselves think of 1t, the vast null
titude Of identities striving to estab-
fish themselves is almost terrifying.
Where did so many people come from?
Where are they going? How are they
to find lodging for the night? Each
Of the moving swarm Is the center Of
a circle Of friends The humblest. I'M
less deeply unfortunate. has ties that
bind him to earth and make life
in degree-dear to him.
Out of the pagan wilderness to the
urban lights and roarings comes bu-
collie youth. What will the city do to
that unsophistication? Or in what
way will its rugged, innocent power in
time come to prevail upon the city?
Your shrewdest. hardest captain of
business closes his eyes at hiis-desk
and is taken back to murmurous wa
ter-brooks and bees, to the aroma Of
hay, of kline, of burning leaves, to
the sound of the whetted scythe or
the sight of baked apples in the win
dow of the woodshed.
Why can't they brown flapjacks or
bake beans or concoct apple sauce or
cook oatmeal as they did down on the
farm?
The table was always big enough
for the unexpected guest. An egg or
a quart Of milk was no such great
event as 1t is in the city. There used
to be time, too, to settle the affairs
Of the borough and the nation, to dis
cuss Horace Greeley, and to wind the
clock, between supper and early bed
time.
We have filtration. and the vacuum
cleaner, and the servant question, and
all the other city advantages. But
it was something to know the neigh
bors, and somehow or other "the men
that were boys when I was boy"
mean something in lifetime that the
brisk, ambitious, clean-shaven, up
pushing generation does not convey.
1t would do these take-it-or-leave-it
fellows good to study the large, leis-
urely, tranquilizing ways of their fore
bears in the days when "civilization"
was not on tear from the cheap lunch
to the bargain counter, and home was
not a way station betwixt the JOY
ride and the moving pictures.-Phila-
delphia Public Ledger.

MADE In Germany"
(By Alice Williams Brotherton, of
The Vigilantes.)


The Vigilantes.)
What was it Made in Germany" A
hellish brand of war,
More fierce than that of savage tribes
or heather hordes by far.
Which harnessed earth and sea and
air to Mars blood-bloted car.
What more was Made in Germany
A brand of fiendish hate
Which marshaled every evil force its
lust for power to safe;
Arson and Rape and Murder foul up
on its footsteps wait.
What else was Made in Germany?"
A host of lies and spies,
Of typhoidcultures, poison plots, the
U-Boat's ruthless prize,
The guns of Krupp, the Zeppelin to
rain death from the skies.
Lost land of simple household joys,
of Poesy, and Song;
How can you blot from memory such
records of black wrong?-
The world is sown with dragon s
teeth, the harvest must be long,
Cast off the Prussian's throttling
yoke. Set press and people free,
Sue mercy from an outraged world.
No peace on Earth may be
Till expiation for all Wrong is made
in Germany

Fertilizer Manufacturers And
Dealers Must Have Licenses

Attention of fertilizer manufac-
turers and dealers has again been
called to the necessity for taking out
Federal licenses.
All fertilizer manufacturers, in
Guiding mixers, even though their
output may be small, are required to
take out licenses. Agents and deal
ers doing exclusively a retail bust
ness, whose gross sales do not
amount to more than 100000 a
year, are not required to take out
licenses or to make applications for
blanks. However, any retail dealer
or agent whose gross sales amount
to more than 100000 and who does
not apply for a license is liable I'M
der the provisions of the act of Con
gress providing for the government
tai control of the industry.
Application for license should be
made to the law department, license
