SHE UTTERED NO CRITICISM
But Many VIII SEQ Deep Significance
In That Kiss Bestowed by
Minister'S Wife.

Now, everyone knows that the min
ister's wife must not say harsh things
about anyone, no matter how she
thinks. Also that though she be forced
to listen to criticism she herself must
not give any. The other evening an
indianapolis parsonage woman was sit
ting on her front porch, when one of
the young girls Of her husbands con-
gregation came to call. Hardly had
she settled herself comfortably before
the young miss began to condemn Wig
orously very parsimonious member
of the church.
"He wouldn't give cent to recar-
peting the parsonage" stormed the
visitor, "yet he had plenty of money
to buy himself a new seven-passenger
touring car. just hope that every
time he starts out in 1t he'll have
puncture."
The minister's wife had only that
morning spent three hard hours mend
ing the old carpet. She didn't say
word of reprOof-merely looked at the
young girl a minute and then went
across the veranda and kissed her
cheek. ek.-Indianapolis News.

A very interesting bit of tunneling
was recently done on the Fourteenth
street tube under the East river, New
York. The heading was being run in
rock and at one point test holes
showed a thickness Of only eight
inches of sound dry rock above the
line along which the top of the tunnel
was to run. AS the tunnel was being
driven without. the use of compressed
air it was decided to drop the upper
heading four feet until this thin cover
of rock was passed The cast iron
lining was set in place at each side
of this section and then the rock was
removed very carefully by using
great many holes each loaded with
about One-eighth of q stick of dyna-
mite. AS each bit of rock was removed
the arch of the tunnel lining was set
in place. By this means the dangerous
section was tunneled without breaking
through the thin shell-Scientific

BAD Changes Into Float.
A British invention for the relief OF
aeronauts making voyages over extern
sive stretches Of water consists OF
more or less circular gas bag In the
center of which is stretched floor
of heavy fabric. Ordinarily, the raft
IS carried by the airship in the de-
flated state; but in the event OF accl-
dent it can be inflated in a few min
utes to form most seryiceable raft.
The bag is really a series of bags, each
being inflated through a separate air
valve. Simple oar locks and pair OF
oars are provided for propulsion pur-
poses.

GOAT MEAT GOOD AS MUTTON
IL Is Said only Experts Are Able
to Tell the Difference Be-
tween the Two.

There is a growing disposition to
give the goat his due. Heretofore this
rubbish-eating animal has been re-
garded pretty much as a joke, but he
has continued to eat tin cans ana
thrive until now his race has ac-
Quired census-listing proportions and
market has been established In
middle-western city where surplus
goats will be converted into "spring
lamb" for the benefit Of our non-vege-
tarians. AS an addition to the poor
mans meat perhaps the goat will be
welcome, especially if his advent tends
to lower the present high prices.
Goat meat tastes much the same as
mutton, it is claimed, and that the diff
ference cannot be told save by an ex-
pert. Perhaps that Is just as well.
Our Imagination has much to do with
our taste. Many people are eating
horse meat in this country under the
impression that it is beef, for horses
are slaughtered, but almost nowhere
is their meat exposed for sale under
its true name. No doubt the easiest
way for US to get used to goat meat Is
to camouf1age 1t as mutton. 1t is an
other case Of ignorance being bliss.
But, as we are assured by the ex-
perts that it is wholesome, a name
will not make much difference in the
end. Mutton, the world over, has been
the poor mans meat. II goat meat
can add to the supply, so much the
better. The meat Of goats was
favorite in the days Of the patnarchs.
It is still highly priced in the East.
There seems to be no reason why 1t
should not ultimately hold a respect
able place on our menus.

Last week J. W. Buttrum closed a
deal for 670 acres of the w. Cooper es-

be subdivided between the purchaser
and three other men: Otis Burnett,
Chas. Chandler and his brother, j. W.
Chandler. They expect to be here in
two weeks to actively commence
developing the property. 1t is in it's
native state and will require much
work to prepare it for crop the COM
ing season,
This is the second large sale pulled
of by Mr.. Buttran. He has closed
numerous smaller sales. One of the
particularly favorable features of the
deals made by MIR. Buttrum is that he
makes no effort to locate any one here
whom he does not think will make an
acceptible citizen. on the other hand
he rather discourages the location Of
scuh persons he feels will not prove Of
real benefit to the country.
ANOTHER SALE.
Recently Jas Smith and e. G. Black
bought 800 acres of the Everhard land,
lying a mile and half north of town,
and Mr.. Black has Purchased personally

but as they are not yet assured deals,
he does ont wish to have them men,
toned in detail. That some OF them
will go through there seems little
doubt. The entire area comprised in
the several deals is around 1900 acres
and IN some instances the property
is IN it's virgin state and the purchaser
will develope it according to his in
dvidual notions.
We expect to be able to give de-
tailed statement of the sales within
a short tine.
There are several land seekers here
from East Tennessee who are likely to
become pertinent residents. They are
attending the fair to get more com
plete understanding Of the products Of
this section. They are very favorahly
impressed, and that some Of them will
buy there is a very strong probability

Monday deal was made bewteen j.
w. Buttrum, ]. w. Laminack and j.
Lee Qualls whereby the first named
gentlemen purchased the hardware
business If Mr.. QualIs. Mr.. Qualls
will give possession January /. The
sale included the stock. store and
warehouse and represented a total OF
close to 10000. The stock is to be
invoiced and is expected to amount to
between $4,000 and S., 900. The pur-
chase price of the store and lot is
81, 5000.
The sale did not include the vacant
lot adjoining the store. The vacatnt
lot would be very desirable place
for the erection of a business house
of some kind. Mr.. Qualls still owns
the small grist and flour mill. 1t is
for sale and it is hoped some person
will buy it and retain 1t here in town,
as a mill properly looked after will
ontinue to be of great convenience to
the people of the town and county
and should prove prof able enterprise
for some one.
The neat and attrsc ctive residence
owned by Mr.. Qualls on Nam street
and 5 acres of. land are also for sale as
Mr.. Qualls and family will make th>ir
future home in Boon, N. G. His son
and daughter are there now going to
school and it being the old home of
Mrs. Qualls they have decided to
move there.
Messers Buttram and Laminack have
purchased the business for their sons
and the business will be under direct
charge of: AL. Buttran, B. D. buttram
and j. l.. Lanlinack. The guiding and
steadying nand of the older men will
be behicd the young men to assist them
in carrying the business to success.
The removal Of Mr.. Qualls and tam
lily will be source of much regret to
many in this county, for after num-
ber of years of clean and upright
business dealing he has won the re-
spect ans friendship of practically all
of our people. In church and every
walk of life he and his family have
been force Tor good.
RILBREY BROTHERS.
X. L. Bilbrey, of the firm of Bilbrey
Brothers, has bought hardware busi
ness at Sparta and will move there
about October !, and the business
here will be run by his two brothers: :
Italy and Carley. Mr.. K. l.. Bilbrey
will retain an interest in the store but
will devote his time to the Sparta
business. Mr.. Bilbrey, is capable
business man and an excellent citizen.
1t will be with much regret that our
people see him and family leave our
town. All wish for them a pleasant
home IN Sparta,

NEW YORK, April 26.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today says:
The most interest Of today's short
session of the stock market conferred
in railroads and oils shares, particu-
larly the former, in which consider
able strength was shown among the
standard issues like Atchison, New
York, Central Reading, Southern
Pacific, Union Pacific and also lower
priced stocks like Missouri Pacific
and Pittsburgh and West Virginia
Due to improved tenor Of advices
from Paris with respect to the Italian
situation received both over night
and during the session, sentiment
was of cheerful nature. 1t would
seem that there is still tangible hope
for an adjustment. Orders accumu-
lated after the closing yesterday and
their execution in the first fifteen
minutes today impaired some buoy
ancy for a brief period.
Thereafter the lists sagged where
advances had been made and merely
held steady elsewhere, save the rail-
road and oil exception already noted.

Garfield won in a walk in the first
game at the playground yesterday
afternoon. The final was % to 5. At
no stage in the game did the Lincoln
boys seem to have a chance. The
Garfield boys made almost enough
runs in their first inning to win the
game.
The second game was not so slow
and the Midgets gave the Giants an
awful scare. The Midgets fought UNI
til the last man was out in the ninth,
the final score being 8 to 7. in favor
of the Giants. The Midgets have
the reputation of having the smallest
sized payers Of any team in the
eague, and, although their batting is
a little bit light, their fielding is su-
perfor to many OF the larger boys.

KeolSuk women have been asked
to Join statewide movement TO
sheck the prices of household neces-
stiles In all the cities of Iowa and
compare them in an effort to account
for some discrepancies already dis.
covered.
The woman's division OF the Iowa
war savings committee Is trying to
procure an accurate list Of prices and
food costs from all over the state.
Figures obtained by the women's
clubs Of Davenport show wide ranges
In the prices charged for identical
foods, especially in the prices paid
in Minneapolis and in Davenport
Similar surveys will be made in
other principal cities Of the state.
The results will be used to compile
data and statistics for use in the
national thrift campaign in Iowa, and
IN an endeayor to reduce the high
cost of living as it applies TO the
homes.
They Want to Know.
The women declare they will not
be satisfied with simply learning that
prices vary greatly IN different locali-
ties, and that staples cost mucn more
n one city than they dc in another
not far distant. They will, 1t was
atated at headquarters of the
women's work, seek to find some
remedy for apparent overcharging for
food necessities, SO soon as accurate
figures are obtained.
This price survey Is to be made In
connection with the food budget

dreds of Iowa homes on blanks pre-
Jared by the women's division of the
