Ex-Buck Private, U. S. A
Allows Vegetables to Waste,

Omaha, Aug. 3.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: In relation to the
crusade against the high cost of
living, case came under my OBJ
'servation few days ago, which is
one instance Of many of such cases,
and leads to the conclusion that a
law should be made and enforced
against waste Of necessities.
A small gardener in the west part
of the city has at present consider
able quantities of tomatoes, corn
and cabbages, which should be gath
cred and placed upon the market at
once to prevent spelling. Hun
dreds Of baskets of tomatoes are
virtually going to waste, but the
owner appears absolutely indiffer-
ent and refuses aid in gathering the
crop. In the same manner corn is
rapidly growing beyond use, though
much of it may yet be utilized if
the owner will dispose of it. This
he will not do, saying it is too old.
Even after it was tested and shown
to be still fit for use he maintained
stolid Indifference. He offered no
excuse for not placing his cabbages
upon the market, much of which
are bursting and ready to burst.
1t occurs to the writer that some
influence is at work to the end that
the stuff is kept off the market. 1t
looks as though the produce dealers
have made proposition to the gar
dener which makes 1t profita BILE to
allow the stuff to waste.

This is what I saw in a street car
the other day.
\ beautiful little old lady and
her comfortable middle-aged
daughter signalled the car
The comfortable. middle-aged
daughter wore a mOdish coat that
made her look about as graceful as
a German sausage, and a modish
hat that covered every bit OF her
hair and balanced its ugly self on
her shoulder blades and made her
look somehow like some grotesque
caricature she carried a pretty
new bag and wore good gloves and
decent, self-respecting boots.
The little old lady. who was so
evidently her mother, was in black

and pinned with a great amethyst
pin that wasn't "a day under 75

little old lady didn't step lively

almost sent her headlong to the

couldn't get out OF it," 1 finished
deprecatirsly.
Dicky stared at me- why should
sou wish 10 get out of it," he de-
manded. with masculine incOnsist-
ency disregarding his objection OF
the preceding day 10 a dinner invi-
tation to the Durkees.
Il didn't" 1 protested. Il was
simply afraid that you wouldn't feel
up to entertaining them"
oh, III be all right ne replied
nonehalantly. I'll be mighty glad
to see them"
And his actions the next evening
when the Durkees arrived certainly
bore out his words. He was most Of
fusive in his greeting Of Alfred Dur
kee and his mother, embracing little
Mrs. Durkee heartily and kissing
her with such fervor that the little
woman blushed with annoyance.
"Dicky," she said reprovingly. Il
thought marriage would cure you.
but you seem to get more roguish
the older you grow. Your wife isn't
stern enough with you, that's the
trouble"
If I were i'm your place, Mrs.
Graham" Alfred Durkce advised
lazily. I'D shut the Dicky-bjrd up i'm

would tame him down"
Tel Is the story"
"Oh. YOU would, would you"
Dicky began making a quick feint at
his friend, then stopping as suddenly
evidently with a painful reminder Of
his sore back Then malicious
grin overspread his face.
81 beg to inform you that Mrs.
Graham knows trick worth ten Of

favorite stunt And it is certainly
calculated to reduce the most recall
citrant spouse to humble obedi-
ence."
He flashed me a mischievous
glance and little Mrs Durkee clap
ped her hands.
Tell us the story" she pleaded.
Il know it's a good one"
1 suppose 1 am unduly sensitive,
but I suffered tortures of embarrass-
ment while Dicky was relating the
tale of my mistake, embellishing IT
with all sorts Of the ridiculous nom
sense of which he is past master.
The DUrkees were in gales of laugh
ter before it was finished and 1
forced myself to join in the merri-
ment But 10 my mind trained fas-
tidiously as I had been. Dicky's tell
ing the story was a breach of good
taste and an offense TO me.
The recollection of it stayed with
me during the dinner; marring my
interest in the general conversation.
Finally however. a remark Of Alfred
Durkee's arrested my attention.
THE two places are adjoining and
there is small lake at the back.
the ownership of which is shared by
both parties. I'd like to buy one Of
them if / were only sure of a con
