Every wife likes to have her hus-
band a little jealous of her unless
there is some ground for his Jealousy.
The truth of the matter is hat the
wife who knew that she could support
the family on what her husband spent
at the Corner Kali hasn't a cent more
now than she had when the Kaifs
were open. Nobody knows where the
money goes, but it goes.
A man isn't really scared until he
is so scared that he wants to yell and
can't.
A family reunion is held at Moth
er's because Mother is willing to be
the goat and stand over a stove all
day.
Many a man tries to predict future
events when he is ignorant as to the
causes of many events of the past.
An observing pms can tell you
that a Husband and a Pipe devote q
good deal of their time to going out.

RIPPING
Problems
BY WALT MASON

Some mighty problems now confront us, there is a crisis
every day, one problem canned, some others hunt US, and take
the joy of life away. The times are grave; | hear my neigh
bors denouncng things; they rant and roar; they have sus-
pended all their labors to argue at the Blue Front store. |
do not join them in their ranting, their crisis rags | do not
chew; all day they see me galivanting on useful errands, fro
and to. The times are grave; we make them graver by quit
ting work to paw the ground, cen though the spiels we make
may SAVIOR Of wisdom widespread and profound. I let the
problems go to thunder; we are with statesmen well supplied,
who tear the jimerow things asunder, to see what works they
have inside. And all the day I'm busy toiling, I'm banking
up my humble shack, to keep my cherished spuds from spelling
when come the wintry storm and rack. There's too much talk
and too much twaddle, there's too much pifle, wind and bunkj
and while my ~neighbors rant and dawdle, I'm sailing down
another PUNK. There's too much idle, bootless drooling, too
much Of larynx and of lip; when all the fellows quit their
foohng the problems will get up and skip.

made the iron anchors for the south
side suspension bridge which collapsed
40 years ago, he says in a letter writ
ten to the Palladium giving informa-
ton On the old bridge. Following is
the letter:
Editor Palladium: ..
In your issue of March 81, YOU
ask the date and circumstances of the
collapse of the suspension bridge
across Whitewater river at South
Fourth street. / do not remember the
exact date, but remember it was built
in 1865, as at that time / was en-
ployed with Gaar-Scott, and made the
anchor bars for it, and they are prob
ably in the banks at this time.
Il remember that they were ordered
by Luther Mering, who insisted that
they be made of refined iron, costing
double the price of common iron,
which would have answered the pur-
pose equally as well.
"The bridge did not last long. Peo-
pie hesitated to use it, as it swayed
badly when one walked over it, and
was Quilted narrow. l remember go
ing over it once, but came back by the
old National bridge. / was not afraid,
but preferred the other route"
Tomorrow Mr.. Marlatt will tell
about the first railroad bridge built
by the Pennsylvania.

Home Owners Bulwark the Nation
Against Bolshevism

The Union, an official organ of organized
labor, in current issue comes to the support OF
the "Own Home movement with an editorial
which calls on the working man to exert himself
to the utmost to obtain title to his own habtation.
The editorial expresses fundamental truth when
it asserts hat the attainment of home can come
only through the initiative of the individual. 1t
follows in it's entirety
"The greatest service industrial and COM
mercial chiefs can render themselves and this

Where the garden is handled in an
intensive manner, there are number
OF facilities that may be provided with
out much extra cost, but which reduce
the work of caring for the crops.
For instance, by providing supports
for certain crops about double the
number of plants can be grown on a
given area, it is pointed out by special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture.
Certain varieties of early peas do
not necessarily have to be provided
with brush or any kind of support to
climb upon, but they will do better
and yield more if given a support.
With the later peas of the telephone
or tall-growing variety it is essential
that they be given something to climb
upon. Brush, if brush can be procured
for this purpose, should be on hand
and ready for use when the peas are
planted.
Substitutes for Brush.
AS a rule, brush cannot be secured
in town, SO it will be necessary to use
some other form of support. Wire
poultry netting IS to "a inches in
width probably is the most desirable
support that can be procured, but it is
expensive, and very satisfactory sup
port can be made of cheap Irvine and
a few stakes to string it on. In the
case of one Of the boys club gardens,
the boys did not have the money to
buy netting, so they went to a place
where refuse from the city was dump
ed and secured a number of broom
handles and enough discarded bale
wire to form very satisfactory trellis
upon which the peas were trained.
Tomatoes trained to single stem
and tied to stakes not only ripen their
fruits earlier than those left upon the
ground, but the fruits themselves are
of better flavor; and, because they are
held off the ground, they are cleaner
and more convenient for gathering.
By pruning and tying to stakes a
much larger number of plants can be
placed on given area. Also plants,
such as lettuce, early cabbage, rad
lshes, and beets, can be grown in the
spaces between the tomato plants
Many people prefer the bush type of
Lima beans to the pole varieties, be-
cause no poles are required for the
bush kinds. 1t has been found, how
ever, that under most circumstances
the pole Lima beans are preferable,
because they can be trained on the
strings or wires attached to a fence,
or, in case the fence is of wire, the
beans can be trained on tho fence it.

peace armistice and are they to be
left at the mercy of their former
masters" II so, God help them!
In conclusion, Senator Watson
would permit the fruits of the World
War, with all its costs and sacrifices,
to be FILTERED away and lost to the
civilization of the world, leaving the
worlds last state worse than the first.
After waging to success war against
the unspeakable Hun in the interest
OF justice, of Americas own future
and that OF all liberty loving peoples
everywhere, Mr.. Watson would at this
crisis abandon our advantageous posi-
ton and all those millions who look
to us for comfort and protection and
surrender all that has been gained to
date. He would do this after our I'M
precedented success in winning our
great allies to the high level of Amer

fessed, / know not what adequate
name to give It. Such a course would

self-that Of being the champion
hypocrite and moral coward of all
time among the nations OF the earth
1t would mean that we were too weak
to fight for our national ideals, or too
selfish to coin those ideals into the
warp and wool of our national life.
Our country would become an object
OF world scorn and would deserve the
contempt of the hoping and militant
millions that we would have betrayed.
The failure Of the league means world
fallure-setting the world back one
hundred years towards the feudalism
of the middle ages
But / have faith to believe these
evils will not come upon us. There is
brighter side to the picture. Presi-
dent Wilson is the incarnation Of faith
and fidelity. He believes in an all
wise Providencd. His faith and his
serene spirit have begotten faith to
world of semi-darkness. That faith
has already moved mountains. It
has already won its way with world
peoples and world leaders. 1t will not
fall; it cannot be denied. 1t will win
a Peace League for the nations OF the,
earth. 1t will even soften the hearts
OF prejudiced partisans. It will even
win the approving vote of James Eli
Watson, Junior senator of Indiana.
