The ~Bluff- and the Threat

An unfortunate controversy that lately arose in these parts to have had its origin confusion of the words bluff" and threat" which are by means synonyms. They are co-incident only at point. Both signify at that point. intimidation No- where else do they join; everywhere else they essentially different.
 The threat has power behind it; the bluff has depends entirely for its upon keeping concealed from an adversary the paucity of it's the fact that it is bluff If the adversary apprised of that the bluff would be bubble to be disregarded The threat though is a thing of sufficient but latent force.
 In the game of poker, bob tail flush and other hands vaueless in themselves may be used bluffs and often successfully used, because the adversary does not know that they bluffs. The royal flush is not bluff though the holder of that unconquerabe combination would like to have his adversary think it bluff. He tries conceal the fact that it is threat of disaster the adversary So lesser and varying degrees other threats the four of kind the full house, the straight the flush the three of kind
 Our penal statutes all threats and not bluffs for there is force behind them. The force may be used; 1t is always hoped by the wel-meanng that the occasion for the of force will not arise that the force will be always deterrent and never punitive there is ready for when may required
 The switch" the rod that hung on the wall of the country school where the foundation for our great erudiion laid always threat never bluff. That we gleaned from experience. Sometime whole three four months term. would eapse with the removal of that two nails across which it lay. But all the time while apparently only gathering dust it faithfully performing its office threat
 We believe that these pathological remarks will straighten out whatever difference may yet exist, traceabe to the confusion of these two words. Half the wars in this world had their origin in vary ing interpretations put upon words which seem ingly so simple that it supposed everybody un- derstood them.

 My last day at Silversand, Joan, dear. and one to be marked with a white stone of remembrance.

He is so positive the position MT. Heron offers me is not wise one to take, and do have con- fidence in Randy's judgment There is no one I'd rather have think well Of me than Randy. But 1t is too late. have made up my mind and I have promised MT. Heron.
 After lunch I went to say good bye to the beautiful lake, and met Eric Wallis in the summer-house.
 Dorothy, don't want you to go." he said. And once more the tender ness in his voice thrilled me as it had that first day at Lively Beach where he performed the commonplace service of carrying my bags.
 What would you have me do?" think there must have been both wist- fitness and tiredness in my tone for he moved close to me on the rustic bench and laid his hand over mine.
 What you WANT to do," he an- swered. "Is it making you happy, this work you are undertaking for Heron?" NO. But-Oh, what's the use?" l shrugged. Its good job. Many a girl will envy me. The summer is nearly gone and I've got to think of the future. There's a time for dreaming and idling and time for working" tried to laugh.

 Well I can, Eric" said softly. A light seemed to be breaking in my mind. T know what I mean to you. It is the feeling of the wanderer for the fireside. There are times when it is the most grateful thing in the world to him, as it was to you-after the war. But it would be prison to have to live beside it always"
 He tried to interrupt. but hushed him.
 Let me go on. You are the wan derer by temperament-not necessarily places, but people, situations, moods. am the fireside.

 The onward sweep of Bobs boat ex- cited new mood in him. He ex- claimed:
 By Cd! If cannot have you, no other man shall! If I must die-you must die also!" Abruptly he leaned far over the rail of my boat. I watched him tumble with the mechanism of my engine, without realizing his in- tention. Then, with an odd smile, he tossed something overheard.
 "Au revoir dear lovei" he mur- mured. fixing his splendid blue eyes on mine. We shall meet again presently. If not up here dearest, then down therei"
 With that he raised his helmet and fitted it deliberately into place, ther he lowered himself slowly and carefully down the swaying rope ladder whicf was attached to the stern of his boat I watched the shine and sparkle o1 his aluminium head gear, until the re- | flection from the sun was wiped out by the water With it faded the un- canny fascination which the man haC always exerted upon me. I suddenl! realized that I was in dreadful peril.

 I tried to set my engine into motion and instantly understood that it wa stalled hopelessly for lack of tha magic bit of steel which Certeis hal l removedi
 His own boat had ceased to wobbl, up and down. It was apparent tha he had reached the bottom and drop ped off the ladder. Soon he would b. at the torpedo tube!
 And soon my Bob would reach me He, too, would be in peril! tore of my red sweater and waved it franti cally. I called to him across the water I was trying to tell him to keep away I meant it all for a danger signal.
 And the only effect of all my effor was to lure him on toward danger!

Smoky Days

The blue haze of pollen clouds gives dreamy expression to the landscape golden rod and asters first touch color to the modest shades earth has worn since harvest days. Presently the hard woods will blaze in yelows and reds.
 Song birds mostly silent, feeding in f1ocks and discussing their departure for the south. Orchards and vines laden. Spring seems long ago.
 There will be chill rains in the next few weeks. and days when the progress of the will be suspended and will sit, unchanging. like old age. waiting in solemn happiness for winter
 The stars not misty as they were in May, but keen against the purple vast of night
 The hint of frost is r the air.
 Watercourses have low.
 Summer cottages blank and places of summer frolic empty and still.
 The best of outdoor days are at hand but only the elect called to leave paved streets and behold creation in the mood of fulfllment.
 Spring. the laughing damsel; summer the smiling woman; and now autumn, the gentle mother.

 The man whose admiration had once flattered me cast satisfied glance over me. I remembered for the first time that was clad in short skirted bathing suit, fancy thing of kilted blue silk worn below gorgeous rose red jersey.
 "Jeannel" he exclaimed. It was very odd to have Hamilton Certeis use his old name for me. It seemed centuries since he had had the privilege, an eternity since the time I had liked to hear it.
 "A queer place for us two to meet after so long a parting, Jeanne" he went on as he reached for the rail of my boat and pulled it close to his own. T am quite alone with you-once more. I would not be saved from that you must know"

You May Wear Rabbit Skin and Not Know It


 By Baby Bunting
 Daddys gone a-hunting
 To get rabbit skin
 To wrap Mamma Bunting in.
 That's the way the old nursery rhyme might now be sung.
 For most of the women you see resplendent In furs called seal, or mole coney ermne or even leopard are wrapped in rabbit skin camouflaged to look like some more popular and less humble-and more expesive-anlmal
 Rabbit belts are used to initiate furs than those of any other animal. It's just case of dyeing and stencing But the result has been to bring the price of rabbit skins up to s2 pound from the 5o-cents pound value of two years ago.
 New Zealand rabbit furs most sought by fur riers they're bigger furrier tougher than those of the American rabbit which is too tender for com mercial use. But Australia furnishes the greatest quantity of skins.
 In Australia great rabbit drives held at night in which the animals frightened into a long net by circle of torch bearers. Thus they caught alive and the skin is saved from damage by bullets

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
To cure; states a well-known authority,
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat. but drink plenty of good water.
Rheumatism is q direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine: the pores of the skin are
are also a means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are closed
THIS forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circul-
ating through the system. eventually
settling in the joints and muscles
causing stiffness. sorenss and pain
called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for week.
This is said to eliminate uric acid by
stimulating the kidneys to normal &C
ton. thus Kidding the blood of these
impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice. combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism.

to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican,
Des Moines. jan l5.--The prohibi-
tory constitutional amendment passed
by congress In 1917 and thus far rati-
fled by twenty mine states in the union
was officially transmitted to The
Thirty eighth general assembly by
Governor Harding at the joint session
Tuesday afternoon. The governor pre-
scented the amendment Immediately
after reading bis message, in which
message he had Endorsed the measure
and recommended its early ratification.
On the reconvening of the senate
following the point session Senator
Chester Whitmore, of Wapello county,
introduced the resolution ip~the Iowa
senate. Senator Whitmore had eX-
pected to ask Il suspension of the rules
and the immediate consideration of TIT.
measure on the floor of the senate A
suspension Of the rules however,
would require 4 unanimous vote Of the
senate and it was ascertained that one
vet senator ut least would not con-
sent TO this so the suspension was not
asked. The resolution was placed on
file and will be the first measure to b..
considered, it is thought. as soon as
the committees are appointed SO that it
can go thru the regular procedure.
The measure will receive prompt
consideration in the house and it Is
thought will be one of the first meas
ures to be acted on by the present leg
.slature.
Those interested in the measure are
anxious that Iowa ratify it promptly
so that the stare can get in the list Of
the first thirty-siX necessary to its be-
coming national law. With many OF
the biennial sessions of state legisla-
lures now in session having convened
since the first of the year number Of
states are getting under the wire
promptly on the amendment. Five
states ratified the measure TuesdaJ
according to associated press reports.
These were Indiana Illinois, Nebraska.
Kansas and Arkansas. This brings the
total number Of states which have thus
far ratified it up to twenty-nine.
The resolution submitted to the Iowa
legislature is an exact copy Of the one
passed by COM ess. If ratified by the
necessary three-fourth Of the states in
the union it will become a law one
year thereafter
