Dish Washing.

DISTINGUISHING is a sad, penitential
rite which occurs three times a day
until deatn>do us part. This includes
Sunday which is day of rest under
our laws, but which call for the
strenuous and perpetual brand OF
dishwashing extant.
No good reason has ever been adj
vanced why dishwashing should al
ways be done by the women, unless
it is that they are nimbler than men
and change dishcloths oftener than
men. There is considerable pathos
in sight of a club fingered husband
in feverish attempt to, remove the
the the Blue berry pie from set Of
Haviland dishes. Men who are lett
alone for any length of time usually
surround themselves with all OF the
dishes that have been used since the
first of the month and secure, enough
DISTINGUISHING to last them for the re-
mainder of, their natural lives.
an pride and vanity; 1t is a mod
ern invention, and is wholly un-
necessary. There was no dish wash
ing in the Garden of Eden and there
is none whatever in Turkey or Mex
leo. A certain amount of refinement
is good thing, but it can be carried
to excess The man who invented
butter pad struck deadly blow at
the American housewife.
Millions of small, slippery butter
pads are being scraped, washed
rinsed, dried and polished three
times a day as result of this cruel
innovation, which has bowed an
equal number of broken hearted
brides in grease and woe.
At the present time dish-washing
is made more arduous than ever be-
fore by the cold blooded social edict
which forbids the guests from stack
ing their dishes on their plates. One
of the most heart burning epochs in
life is when an absent minded guest
carefully stacks ten or twelve entree
dishes on his plate in a tottering
heap, and then meets the severe, re-
proachful gaze of hostess who is a
stickler for etiquette. This has
caused many man to retire from
the social arena and allow the odor-
Gus moth ball to roost in newly
swallow tailed coat.
The amount of dish-washing per-
petrated daily in this country shows
to what extent a woman will go for
love-Howard Ram.

TWO.Thirds of Worlds Hogs in This
Country.

Recent Investigations by the De-
partment Of Agriculture disclose
that the United States has relatively
larger reserves of livestock than any
other country in the world. In re-
spect to swine, this country is easily
first, but holds second place in the
number of sheep and of cattle.
1t is estimated that there are ap-
proximately 1S0,00O,OOO swine in
the world. OF these considerably
more than a third are in this coun-
try. There are probably 100000
head of cattle and about 100000
head of sheep in all Europe, Asia,
Africa, Australia, North and South
America and the islands of the seas.
Although swine are less numerous
than cattle or sheep in the world at
large they are more plentiful than
either of the other classes of live
stock in the United States. There
are more hogs in this country than
in all its ten nearest competitors
combined Australia leads the
world in the number of sheep, and
India takes first place in point of
cattle.
American pork has found such
great favor in Europe and South
| America that in 1918 it represented
more than twO-thirds of the exports
of meat from the United States.
The Department of Agriculture is
actively undertaking the conserva-
ton of present herds and is conduct
in campaign of education to stimu-
late larger and better production.

No Bank Failures in Six Months is
Record.

No national bank failures for
more than six months and only two
small national bank failures over
the last nineteen months period, is
the record for immunity in the past
half century, according to the report
on banking conditions just made
public by the Comptroller of the
Currency. Not since 1870 has this
record for immunity from failure for
national banks been equalled, the
comptroller declares.
Twenty charters for new national
banks were issued during the month
of July and "a national banks were
granted permission to increase their
capital The aggregate increase in
national bank capital was over
$12, 100000, while the capital of
the newly chartered banks amounted
to $78O,0OO. Banking conditions
over the country indicate flourish
ing market and a rather general
possession Of money.

PRIEST IS JAILED BY BRITISH AS A
 TRAITOR IS FREED

London, Dec. 3-Father Thomas J. O'DonneI, the Australian army chaplain who has been held military prisoner for more than a month in Ireland and in the London Tower, on a charge of sedition, was acquitted by court martial
 The evidence showing that he is in poor health, having been held incOm- muntcadO most of the time of his i'm prisOnment and guarded by bayOnets while confined to dirty, frig.d room
 The only testimony against him was that of a jealous young English lieutenant, Stuart Chambers, who as serted the chaplain had made dis paragins remarks about the King and favored revolution in Ireland in conversation at a hotel in Killarney.
 The case has been watched with eXtereme interest throughout Britain, because it led to the first court martial of it's kind in England.
 The Sim Feiners assert it was typical of the tyranny of the army rule in Ireland, where they say, wholesale arrests are made, often on the fimsiest preteXts. prisoners be- ing punished either without trial or after biased trials Gfter long and un- due delays.
 The evidence disclosed that a com plete and fair investigation would have exonerated Father O'Donneu of the sedition charge forthwith and that his long imprisonment was not justified even if the military author ities could have justified his arrest.
 The man to whom Father O'Don- neIrs alleged sed1tious utterances +BS version in all essentials. Witnesses testified to the absolute loyalty of the priest, the latter admitting only that he had believed England had mis- treated Ireland and that he favored se1f-g government for that country.
 Lieutenant Chambers testified that he heard O'Donnen say:
 "The King and the royal family are of no use in this or any other country. The time IS coming when Ireland will strike out for herself and gain glorious independence, so long dear to every patriO, heart. I will come then and help the people in their struggle against the 'tyrannicaf English Government. 4 few sateI- lires of King George are now filling their pockets at the expense of the workers in the finest little country in the world.
 The only industry which thrives in Ireland oday are the prisons, and they are full of Irish patriots. Australian soldiers are leaving with an unfavorabIe impression of their dear old mother country"
 The lieutenant further said he had heard O'Donneu say he hoped the recent rail strike would be the begin ming of a revolution. but that the King had ordered Lloyd George to quash it.
 The lieutenant had written in his notebook what he claimed Father ODoaneu had said, and despite the Iatter's denial he was summarily ar rested on October II, and has been held q military prisoner since.
 It is known that the chaplain,

ment at Washington show that from January 1st to August 31st the peo. pie of the country invested s1O7.S4S.. 752-25 in these Government securities and again we hear that person who says, Gee. can't save money in these times of high prices"
 Facts also show that the ma ioritv of the investors are people who might be termed as in the working class Field workers of the Savings Diyi- sion, First Federal Reserve District report that people who before the war had no money put aside for the Dro- verbal rainy day" are now the DOS sesSorS of savings accounts, which in many instances run into four figures
 The Thrift Stamps which sell for twenty-five cents and which are al ways worth twenty-five cents ara proving popular medium of invest ment for the children of the country Then again, War Savings Stamps whose face value is S at maturity are also owned by many of the chiI- dren throughout New England. The new Treasury Savings Certificates whose face value is S10O and 5000 are now in popular demand by the people who wish to invest larger sums of money. At the present time to protect the small investors, it is unlawful for one person to hold more than 5000 worth Of these Govern ment securities
 If the reader of this article still feels that because of the high prices existing he is unable to save money, he should immediately make out a budget, carefully listing those things for which he has to spend his income The majority of persons will find that after preparing carefully a budget system they will immediately see what things they can easily go with out. Then they will have taken their first step toward saving-and it can be done for thousands of New Eng landers are saving money daily.

 PEOPLE SAVE MONEY

How can I save money, gosh, 1t costs me all I can get hold of to live decently in these days of high prices" How often now-a- days do we hear this in every day conversation. Is it true that in these times of high prices it is impossible to save money ? Let the thousands of people in New England who are at this present time saving money an- swer this question. They will say, one can save money despite the high cost of living.
 Reports received by Mrs. c. R. Bur Engame, Statistical Department of the Savings Division, First Federal Re serve District show that for the cur rent year up to October i, the people of New England have saved alone in Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates the amount of S6,924,45 During this time millions of dollars have flowed into the savings banks throughout New England-and then people will say ''I cant save money in these days of high prices
 Another factor which shows that a large number of the people of New England are grouping themselves to- gether for the express purpose of be ing thrifty, is shown by the fact that $500 War Savings Societies have been established in these states to date in the little state of Rhode Island which has 1925 Of these societies, the members of them have boosted the sales of Government securities up to the amount of $945, ,41246
 Not only are the people of New England learning to save money, but people throughout the country, de- spite high prices, are today investing large amounts of money in Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates. Recent reports from the Treasury Depart
