NOT TROUBLED BY JEALOUSY
Social and Domestic Customs Among

regions II woman is childless, she
often asks her husband to select an
other wife, so that the home may be
blessed with children. She has no
jealousy toward her rival, for her hus-
band generally treats both with equal
respect. The system of polygamy
works both ways, for some Eskimos
adhere to the single standard. In
tribe where there are more men than
women, a woman may often be al
lowed second husband, provided she
has the approval of her first husband,
and her love for some unmarried man
does not necessarily lessen her re-

Near the African continent sea fish
cries are mainly under direct or indi-
rect European influence, the natives at
taching more importance to the rivers
and lakes. In the Nile, fishing IS car
ried on almost as it was in the days of
the PharaOhs, by lines and dipnets, the
latter worked from the bank, and
shaped something like a lOng-handled
shrimp push net, or by cropping in the
mud as the waters recede after the
flood.
A very popular fish that is taken in
the latter way is the bichir, which is
about 18 inches long, and is covered
with hard, bOny scales. In the same
manner the Arabs Of the upper Nile
catch what they call the thunder fish,"
which averages foot in length and,
like that Of the Calabar, is endowed
with a considerable power Of develop
ing electricity. A large kind Of bar
bel named the binny, also found in the
mud, is greatly priced by the Nile
dwellers, though quite tasteless to oth7
er palates.

trip along daintily on their wooden
clogs, oblivious to the muddy rivers

handles, and the patterns formed by
different layers of colored papers. The

Magazine, is as necessary to the Jap
anese actor or dancer as his fan. In
the old prints the umbrella appears
constantly as a harmonious part of the
design. The geisha have umbrellas ap-

cherry viewing, for winter and sum-
mer. An umbrella may even be the
theme of poetry, as it was for the Jap
anese poet who sang: I'm the spring

LOWDEN is THE BEST
Some Reasons Why He is Desirable
For Next President

Frank o. Lowden, present COVER
nor of Illinois, is candidate for the
republican nomination for president.
None of the present aspirants sur
pass him in ability and fitness for
the place;
Because he comes from one of the
strongest political states, a state
centrally located and is now recog-
nized as one of the strongest candi-
dates in the field.
Because he was elected governor
of his own state by the largest major
ity-150, 0,0O0-ever given a governor
of Illinois.
Because he is a staunch friend of
the farmer, his home being on farm,
at Oregon, Illinois, not many miles
s-m Chicago. lie has L--u q l-Il--
en- all lis life, owns many farms in
other states and understands the
difficulties that beset the farmer.
Because his father before him was
Crossville chronicle. [volume] (Crossville, Tenn.) 1894-current, 1920-03-17

farmer and blacksmith and he came
up from among the great common
people" whom Lincoln used to so love
and respect.
Because when he was elected gov
ernor of Illinois he let it be under
stood that any man that he appointed
to state office must understand
that his time belonged to the state
and that he must count on devoting
his entire time to the business of the
state, and that he must move to the
state capitol so he could be close to
the duties before him.
Because he took 1875 committees
that had been costing the state mil
lions, and consolidated them into nine
commissions, which resulted in much
better service to the people and
saved the state $l,000,000 at the same
sine.
Because be was the means OF law
being passed whereby tlo people Of
illinois decided by a popular vote TO
spend $6O,0OO,0O0 on good roads in
the state at the rate Of $12,O00,000 a
year for the next five years.
Because he is such a strong believer
in the eight hour day that he puts in
two of them each day.
Because he is in hearty sympathy
with labor and enjoys its entire con-
fidence.
Because he is a business man of
great ability, having amassed for
tune, and will know how to handle
big matters both financial and other
wise.
Because he is a most pronounced
as in opposition to inter-
Because he was such strong pat
riot that he sent his only son to the
war and took such steps to suppress
the actions and utterances of all the
forces opposed to our government,
that he was counted one of the most
able and patriotic governors in the
union.
Because he is for America first in
all things and in all ways. He is
American through and through and
Knows no stronger bond to anything
han his patriotism for the United
States.

Meat and Restaurant Business
Last week F. H. Washburn bought
a half interest in the firm of F. A.
Loshbough and son, who have been
conducting a meat and restaurant
business. Roy Loshbough, the son has
retired from the business. He is a
skilled machinist and will likely be
engaged ~ some of the lumber con-
Germs now operating in the county to
run a truck or tractor.
Considerable changes have been
made in the interior arrangement of
the busine IS and the grocery stock
will be enlarged and fresh fruits
will be added to the stock.
The firm of Loshbough & Son
has enjoyed nice business and with
the changes made and the increased
stock, there is every prospect that
their business will be larger this
year than before.

amount Of each bond separately and
giving total amount of bonds en-
closed with the necessary postage
and register fee enclosed for the re-
turn of the permanent bond to them.

all bonds held by their customers be
sent in as soon as possible, to facili-
tate the work in handling the same.
Your old bonds will draw no inter-
