The Science of Soup.

Since the outbreak of Americas
part of the war and its attendant
horrors of meatless days and such,
soup has new meaning.
There was a time when soup was
looked upon chiefly as a teaser, as a
sort of curtain raiser, or prelimin-
airy bout before the main event.
When invited to a banquet and un-
able to appear at the appointed
hour, we would inquire what we had
missed, and our table neighbor
would reply.
"Oh, nothing but soup!"
But now, on meatless days, soup
has become of mighty import. 1t
is placed before us with tender
reverence born of deprivation and
necessity. In it's limpid, vegetable
surface we see mirrored the ghosts
of porterhouse that may not be, the
shapely and yoluptuous limb of the
lamb that is not for our table, the
stately ranks of spare ribs march
ing insolently by in martial array.
Oh, soup-how times have chang
ed our regard for you!
Once we would have spurned the
yokel who took you into his bosom
with a noise similar to that of the
dregs running out of the bottom OF
wash bowl! Now, however, such
sounds are blissful in our ears,
for they are the very war cry of a
true patriot who is worshiping a.
the shrine of Hoover.
If it is to help win the war, we
would eat nothing but soup. We
would have ourselves in it, sprinkle
our lawns with it, wash our automo-
biles with it--gargle it, if neces-
sary, when throat affections threat
en-!
Soup, once plebeian, is glorious
today, and its inhalation by those
best acquainted with that process
is no longer a hissing.-Omaha
orld-Herald.

HOW TO BE POPULAR-NOT

1t Is not hard to win renown as
having not friend in town Just
nave an ever-ready sheer to spring
When others names you hear. And
when you hear some fellow praised
for deeds that left the village dazed
insist that he is a false alarm. and
doing far less good than harm. If
neighbors prosper more than you,
just run them down, the long day
through: insist that all their wealth
was made by fooling with the board
of trade. Say bitter things behind
the backs of men who treat you
smooth as wax.
Distrust mems motives and insist
that all hearts have a crooked twist,
that all are cheats and out for pelf,
all men are frauds, except yourself.
And always raise noisy storm when
people speak of reform. Old ways
are always best, you know, and
progress here below is just the dream
of foolish men and grafters piling
for the pen. Protest and kick, and
sheer and growl, and wear a large
relentless scowl, insist the world is
on the bum-and folks will hate to
see you come. Walt Mason in "Michi-
gan Tradesman."

ABOUT A MAN AND HIS TOWN.
Some Sensible Advice as to Duties of
Citizenship in Towns and Cities.

AT a recent meeting in Honolulu,
Robert j. Burdette delivered an ad-
dress on What a Man Owes to His
Town. His remarks are as applica-
BILE in any town as in the Hawaiian
metropolis, and no apology is needed
for reproducing them in fun. Like
everything Burdette has ever writ
ten or said, they will meet with gen.
eral appreciation and approval:
He owes this duty to himself and
the town-to own part of it. Ever
so small a lot if he can't own a big
one. A forty foot front if he can do
no better. That gives him a stake in
it.
The man who owns a home in the
town never calls his town-IT- When
he speaks of it, whether it be Lon
don or Tailholt, New York, or
Waikiki, he says WE-OUR town.
And he has right to. He is stock
holder, a partner.
More than that, when he owns
piece of ground, farm or town lot, he
has stake in the earth. He is a citi-
zen of the universe His property ex-
tends from the birthstone out to the
stars. Even now they are disputing
concerning the right of an airship- to
sail through the air over a mans
house without the owners permits
sion. The very thought is enough to
make a man feel chesty. And with
good cause.
When wild anarchist buys a town
lot he subsidies into moderate So
cialist. When he builds house on
it, he fades into a conservative citi-
zen. When he brings a wife into it
and transforms the house into a
home, he is apt to join the rspubli-
can or democratic party, and begins
to question the wisdom OF strikes.
When the baby is born he opens an
account at the bank. And when the
boy is Id years old, he begins the
very serious study of the question of
prohibition as contrasted with an
open town with the lid Toff. 9
A man who owns his home begins
to study his ticket six weeks before
election day. He scrutinizes every
name on it, and looks up the candi-
dates record. 1t is the man who
can tie up his real and personal pro-
perty in handkerchief Glat shuts
his eyes and votes the ticket the boss
gives him without unfolding it. =.
A man owes it to his town to boost
it in public at all times. The correc-
ton of it's failing and faults are for
the privacy of the home circle A man
who would thrash his boy on the front
steps of the court house ought to be
whipped out of town. The citizen who
welcomes the stranger by telling him
what rotten city government we
have, what corrupt set of officials
misrule the town; how the town lags
behind the age in all matters of pro-

Fled Supervisors in the 9Th.

A. T. Holton, of DEBORAH, has filed
for the nomination for supervisor
on the Republican ticket in the fifth
district. Mr. Holton was formerly a
member of the board number OF
years ago, and represented the 4th
district. He has moved to DEBORAH
and has lived here for the past five
or six years, and now will aspire to
the Office in the fifth district.
We have heard the name of an
other man mentioned for this office
Mr.. Herbert Gross, of DEBORAH twp
He has been approached by large
number and has been pressed to en-
ter the race. He is level headed
young fellow, we'll educated and
would make a good man for the
board. AS to whether he will be a
candidate, at this writing, we do not
know. ,..t

gress and development, that it is a.
dead town and will be so long as GER
tain men rule it, is an undesirable
citizen.
When a man tells you that what
his town needs is a dozen first-class
funerals, he may be correct. But HE
should be the first to be buried.
A man owes it to his town to shout
its advantages from the housetops.
The entire registry list should be the
promotion committee. If necessary
put binders on the visitor and let
MIN see but what you want him to
see. When he asks you what chance
a poor man has in town, tell him the
truth. Tell him the poor man is the
only man who has chance. And that
is no joke. Show him the beautiful
homes of men who came here with a
capital of working hands and think
ing brains. Tell him the story of the
man who began with day wages. Tell
him you think there should be law
compelling the poor man to give the
rich man handicap when they come
into competition with each other, so
as to give the rich man a chance. 1t
is the penniless boys like John Rookie
fell 4, Andrew Carnegie, Phil Ar
morr and that class, who backed the
ricA mems sons of their poverty lad
en- days clear off the earth.

Mighty few men find anything to
rejoice over in looking backward.
The mistakes and missteps of most OF
us stand out in bod relief. The past
is a dead one. You cannot change it
and grievilg over errors strewn along
tie way only tends to make a man a
crouch who hates himself and who
can not rejoice over his neighbor's
success. Only soothsayers and old
women who shuttle the cards are for
ever bothering about the future. 1t is
a blessed good thing that we can not
see all that is to come for it might
chill our ambitions. So let it come
and don't worry. But today. That's
different. We are here to do our full
duty today To do this the very best
we can. To be just as kind to others
as we possibly can. To judge our
brother leniently and give him an up
ward boost. Today we have chance
which should be seized for all it is
worth. Tomorrow is another day
Take care of it when it comes.
