Tavy'Il Never Do That!"

knows I needed it, but Jeb and me've
been like brothers, and 1 jest had to
help him."
swell, amt one to raise ructions
In families, nor to set man against
wife; but do say that If you loaned
.Jeb White fifty dollars, you was do
ing Christian act, and he'll pay It
back, for he's straight. Besides, didn't
you have to pay a fine to keep Tavys
worthless brother out Of Jail last win
ter? I guess she's never counted that.
We'll, what do you want me to do?"
That's what come for, Aunt Ma
,rindy," the man replied helplessly. Il
lowed you'd tell me-"
"Lord!" CALCULATED the woman. II
don't wan the job Of handling Tavy
White, especially when I'm backing
such poor bet as you are. A man
that's cruel to his wife orto be shot.
But it's every mans highland some
times his necessity-tO stamp around,
puff out his chest and talk about be-
ing master in his own house. He may
eat out Of her hand for Twenty-Five
days, but he'd better put up big bluff
on the thirtieth. But might put the
words In your mouth, and the minute
Tavy'd get in eye-shot of you you'd get
limp, drop your chin and put on that
.aggravating humble look of yours, and
then, Of course, any woman'd tramp
on you-let alone Tavy."
Il reckon you're right, Aunt Ma
rindy," assented Tink, with an air of
dependency. I'm poor critter, COM
pared to Tavy. But couldn't you rea-
son with her little?"
"Bosh, Tink white! Did you ever
try to reason with a balky mule? I
have, and balky man or woman is
about the same. Why, Tavy is putting
in full working hours right now, think
ing up arguments against the time
she's going to be reasoned with. The
best way for you to cure her tantrums
would be to stamp your foot and roar
that you are the boss, but you're too
Grumpy for that, so you'd better stay
here a few days, and let her get good
and lonesome, SO she'd take you back.
The hired man needs help on the north
eighty, anyway, so thatll make it all
right with the neighbors."
Tink could sink no farther in his
chair, but he gave the impression of
one whose skeleton no longer upheld
his flesh.
i '"Tavy'n never do that!" he groaned.

LICKING COUNTY CAN WIN II
Victory Monument Valued at $4,000
Given to County For Sale
of War Stamps

This county is to be afforded the
opportunity of securing a Victory
Memorial shaft without cost. The
Ohio War Savings Committee an
nounces that it will give a $4,000
monument to the county selling the
largest percentage Of its 1919 quota
of War Savings Stamps during the
months of June, July and August.
This arrangement insures an equit
able contest between the larger and
smaller counties.
The shaft, weighing many tons
and standing thirty feet high, is to
be hewn from Barre granite, the
most beautiful and most expensive
material in the world for such work.
Barre granite comes from the sturdy
Green mountains of our eastern
coast, and is the standard by which
all gray GRANTEES are measured. It's
distinctive mottled effect makes it
stand supreme as a monumental
stone Of dignity, durability and
beauty. 1t has a fine grained crys-
talline texture, a rich color and lends
itself perfectly to high polishing and
delicate inscriptions and decorations.
