E. T. Plummer, Com. :.

The last session of the sixty seven h
congress met yesterday. One bill that
will come up in this session is the bonus
bill passed by the house of representa-
tives last winter. An endeavor will be
made to have that bill, or another EN-
bodying its best features, passed before
congress adjourns again. Many people
are opposed to any form of bonus for
the ex service men. We believe such
people are not looking at the proposition
from fair viewpoint. 1t will not only
help the ex service man VINO needs it,
but it will be an economic benefit to the
entire country. No one can deny that
any measure that will enable so large
number of young men to get an educa-
ton, or a start in business, or settle on
lands that are now desert wastes, would
be an economic benefit to the nation.
The proposed plan for reclaiming des rt
lands in the western states would more
than repay the government for the re-
quired outlay of money to france the
entire plan. Every ex service man
would profit by the measure, and there

Two Prosecutors

laws permit, Judge Samuel w.
johnson is appointing various at

his unexpired term as district at
torney for the district. McGinitie's

now a demand for woman's auxiliary.

Horse Once Reyerenced.

The sacrifice of horses character
lied the Scandinavian and Teutonic
cults, whilst Tacitus tells us that the
Germans sought omens and monitions
from white horses kept at the public
expense in sacred woods and groves,
pure from the faint of earthly labor,
but that on solemn occasions these
were yoked to the sacred chariot and
were accompanied by the king or
chief of the tribe and the priest, who
noted their neighings and snortings,
and that no species of divination was
more trusted, not only by the people
and the mobiles. but by the priests
who regarded themselves as the min
listers of the gods and the horses as
acquainted with their will. 1t has
been commonly believed, though on
insufficient evidence, that the Saxon
invaders of Britain bore banners blaz-
oned with a white horse.

Rainmakers Beliefs.

From very ancient times supersti-
tious beliefs have existed concerning
rain, and many quaint little rites have
been performed by agricultural people
anxious for the welfare of their crops.
For cat to appear unusually restless
Is still held by some to be a sure sign
of rain. 1t has also been noticed that
when the cows all lie down in the
fields rain very often follows before
long, usually of a more or less violent
character. In one of the northern
provinces of India the maidens used
to have q quaint custom. When rain
was desired they would sally forth
with jars of water, which they calmly
poured down the backs of any old
women they happened to pass. This
dangerous practice is now, fortunate
ly. out of date. Some people believe
to this day that, in case of severe
drought, flogging the surface of rivers,
ponds, etc., will quickly call up re-
freshing showers. The fiogging is done
with rods, preferably of hazel.

NOTHING TO IT AS A PIE
With Lemon Filling Gone. Remainder
of CONNECTION Could Only Be
: CIassed as Squash"

A business man Of Jacksonville,
active in the counsels of the Young
Business Mems club and of the Rotary
club and one of whose outstanding
characteristics is liking for pie, says
he has learned perfectly good way
of making squash pie out of lemon pie,
but prefers the latter kind, says the
Indianapolis Star. He had been to a
sale in Utica township, not to buy, but
atractedl by the fame of the cooks
who were to serve pie. He surround
ed one lemon pie and asked to have
another packed to take home-for his
wife, he said. The women packed it
between two paper dishes, the upper
one inverted, and then wrapped 1t in
newspaper. He placed II on the back
seat of his automobile and started for
home. Unfortunately he gave friend
the package for. cushion. When the
package was turned over to the lady
of the house and was opened by her
1t consisted Of an upper paper dish, an
upper pie crust, lower pie crust and
q lower paper dish; that was all. 1t
was clear case Of SQUASH" and not

BASED ONLY ON TRADITION
Ancient Religions All Had Foundation
In Supposed Wisdom Handed
Down, by the Ancients.

A state Of original barbarism pre-.
vailed through the fragments of re-
mote antiquity preserved among vari-
Gus nations and through all the re-
ligious traditions Of the ancient world,
according to books esteemed sacred by
various oriental nations.
In the Skuking and other fragments
OF Chinese history, and in the Ramay-
an of the Indian yalmic, pictures are
drawn Of the happiness and virtue of
the first men. Plato said that his
countrymen derived all their knowl-
edge of divine things from the an
clients, who, as he affirmed, "were wis
er and lived nearer to the gods than
we."
The Egyptians began their history
with dynasties of gods and heroes who
were said to have assumed human
form, and to have dwelt among men.
The golden age Of the Hindus, and
their numerous avatars of the gods,
are fictions of a similar character, as
well as their two royal dynasties de-
scended from the sun and moon, a re-
markable coincidence with which is
found in the traditions of Peru.-De-
troit News.

Soul Development.

There can be no permanent success
in the world of art without deep soul
development. One goes to concert
not so much to be thrilled or startled
but to be soothed. An artist may strike
phenomenal or unusual note which
may give a momentary thrill, but
which when heard once or twice no
longer interests, If that is all the artist
has to contribute to his art. Where,
however, there is spiritual and ethical
development behind that singing, the
art carries a new message. If sing
er-any man for that matter-is kind
ly, thoughtful and unselfish 1t shows
In his life and actions, and to an I'M
thought of degree in the quality of his
voice, and consciously or unconsciously
he draws men to him. - Morgan
Kingston.
