WHAT WAS THERE TO SAY2
Embarrassment Surely Hard Thing
to Explain Away.

The minister of certain small town
Indiana church recently held num-
Der of meetings for his young men
members, in which he warned them
against being frivolous in the choice of
wives, etc. Modest young women
should always be chosen" he quoted
and then delivered heavy trade
against the prevailing short skirts and
silk stockings.
Several Of the young girls were rath-
err indignant and avoided the minister
for a time. But one day as he was
coming home from shopping for his
wife he met two who at first were
rather cold, but as the conversation
progressed became distinctly amused
and finally departed Cycling. The
younger one fired this final retort:
I'm glad you changed your mind on
some things, Reverend T."
The minister wondered on that last
speech all the way home. Then he re-
peated 1t to his wife. She looked at
him closely and then burst out laugh
ing, mo wonder" she exclaimed, and
held up for him to see the magazine
he was carrying.
Some way, in packing his bundles to-
gether he had turned it inside out and
there, facing the young women, had
been an advertisement of very fancy
rose-colored silk stockings on a very
beautiful model.-Indianapolis News.

ROADS AS DIVIDEND PAYERS
Where Good Roads Enable Farmer to
Save Ono Hour Per Week He
Makes Big Gain in Year.

If farmer saves an hour week
by being enabled to use good roads
as opposed to bad roads, it would
mean 80 hours a year; estimating the
use of man and team as being worth
SO day, this means saving of $31.20
year.
Suppose his farm Is assessed at
$4,000, and the additional tax levy
due to the issue of road bonds by the
county runs to 81 per thousand, which
would mean $40 a year additional
taxes as against saving of $31.20 on
time alone. This means that he is
investing $40 and drawing dividends of
$31.20, an interest rate of 312 per
cent.

Why Not Raise More Sheep7

The fur that warns a monarch

Only one sheep in twelve living to-

Farmers and ranchers could double
their flocks and still they would not
supply enough wool for our home use.
declares "Griad" in the Philadelphia
Press We need in the United States
more than sheep for every person,
and that accounts partly for your dear

How They Took Charge.
1--WE were on our way to the Ufa
front, the southern sector Of the Sibe-
rian front. My first stop was at the
little county courthouse. There I
learned that at sunset on the day
that the Kolchak forces withdrew the
bolshevists had entered the city.
'"The first thing the bolshevists did
was to loot the town. and then they
organized their government. At the
head they placed the most cruel and
outspoken of their leaders. They then
appointed committees, one Of them the
so-called extraordinary committee on
investigation.
The judges, the aldermen, the coun-
cllmen and other leading citizens
that is, those who had not been able
to escape-were promptly arrested.
and all of those who were known to
be against bolshevism or were sus-
pected were taken that night into the
public square and executed. They
were denied trial of any sort.
II talked with a woman teacher.
The bolsheviks lined up all the boys,
the little ones as well, and questioned
them as to their sympathies. All who
were not killed were put to work Of
the most mental kind.
"The school girls were ordered TO
serve in the barracks, the reds ours
ing and beating those not blessed with
good looks. AS for the good-looking
girls, to use the words of their former
teacher, they suffered insults of the
most horrible nature.
Many Hostages Held.
"They also named many hostages
and after subjecting them to the most
horrible treatment killed them and
threw the bodies into the river.
'Kguan is a city of perhaps 35 200
people. The bolsheviks murdered at
one time more than 1000 citizens Of
the place.
