ings. II a girl who has loved her
brother deeply and truly wants to
cut herself off from all social gaye-
ties as a way OF expressing deNo-
ton that is her right--the right
earned for her by her own feelings.
II mourning is an honest welling
m OF tenderness which insists on
its trappings of woe, who shall dare
TO try to stop that expression or
personality?
WHAT MOURNING MEANS.
But has the mourner right to
impose what ought to be her own
innermost and most sacred senti-
ments on anyone else? Isn't she
losing the inner meaning OF her
own loyalty to her own love for
her own when she tries to foist all
that on someone else?
Someone once said that manners
are the fortunate way of doing
things They become an unfortu-
nato way of doing things when
they settle down in a harsh mold
and don't allow for human nature
and the feelings OF the individual.
The questions Of propriety which
are referred to me from day to day
Ned hardly be questions" II they
are considered from tho point OF
view OF good taste plus common
sense plus kindness plus the right
OF the individual.
"The gentle mind by gentle deeds
ia shown" wrote Edmund Spenser
in the sixteenth century. And when
that Is applied to the verse with
which we began our chat-the
meaning Is clear.

Beauty on the Beach

Only one bathing suit restriction
down at Long Beach this season.
The sweet birds must wear shoes.
The California one-sheet bathing
frocks are being imported. The
railroads are not responsible for
any suits lost in transit. But it
doesn't make any difference to the
sweet stuff II her bathing suit
doesn't arrive. Time and tide wait
for no woman. Why bundle your
self up in stuffy swimming gown
that weighs at least two ounces
and a button?
One-piece suits are a large sum
in algebra for the girls who would
rather wear fractions.
This only includes the gals with
the chorus figures. The bowlegged
gals don't swim in the summer.
They go to the mountains and play
croquet. You never see bow
legged gal on the beach. The
reason why nobody ever sees a
bowfegged gal on the beach is be-
cause nobody ever looks at 'em.
A yazoo gifted with second sight
might be able to spot gal with
shape like horse collar, but he
would take one look and save the
second sight for the sweet doll who
leaps from magazine cover to mag
azine cover.
Anyway. all the bowlegged sis
ters are in the Appalachians and
Catskills, and the Sanderellas have
the beach to 'emselves. They are
packing 'emselves up in one-piece
bath frocks. Up at Newport most
OF the dress material is carried in
one piece parasol. Down at
Southampton the society dubbu-
tantes don't wear much that doesn't
classify under the head of dorma-
tology.
The firm of Epi and Dermis are
making the bathing gowns this
season. The 1S-karat, concrete
flled eclaire is won by the gal at
Atlantic City. who promenaded the
beach in a blacksmith's apron.

Inviting More War
That Is What Article of the League Covenant Does.

certain American citizen who ought to know what ne
is talking about says in the last publication OF certain
wenown journal that America is in danger OF serious
attack from only two nations Britain and Japan
Now the gentleman who makes this alarming statement
is not Californian who fears the dominance OF the
Japanese on the Pacific Coast He is general in the
United States army He is in command at Camp Eustis
Virginia He says it in the Journal of the United States
Artillery and his name is General johnson Hapgood
General Hapgood says that the nations whose com
bination would give them sufficient naval and military
strength would be Japan Great Britain and for
the last ten years. allies of each other
And vet President Wilson allowed Japan against all
honor all decency against the protest of most OF the
American civilian experts the Peace Mission and against
the advice of his military experts to keep shantung WIN
its forty million people and its immense resources all OF
which within twenty years be employed against Amer
lea and against the rights of the white race IN the facnc
And worse still, President Wilson and Governor Cox,
the Democratic nominee for President propose by Article
of the League of Nations confirm control OF Shan
tung and Korea where she expressing and extnguhng
the life and culture twenty three million Christians
And worst of ALL under the vicious Article K Mr.
Wilson and his echo Governor Cox, propose to put Amer
can Young men and the wealth of farms and our fac
tories and mines behind Japan in the pepetuation OF
this gotten dominion with almost double her population
and more than double her resources
For example: If China should awake from her sleep
and fling herself upon Japan and be about to wrest away
shantung Japan then under Article we should be
obliged to 90 to assistance of Japan with ships and
our men and our treasure
In his speech at Wheeling, W. Va, August ID, Gov
ernor Cox said that the League Of Nations was the fulfill
of the Presidents promise to the mothers OF America
when he took their boys them send them to the
that he would make it that they would be called
again to endure similar sacrifice.
But suppose that Governor Cox were President when
Japan was dire distress with China concerning Shan
un with Russia concerning Korea and those parts OF
Siberia which has stolen while Russas back turned
fighting off her European If America goes into
the League then Japan in such event could call us
for help and President Cox would be obliged to call the
boys from their mothers again. and when their mothers
asked him why, he would be obliged to say THAT THE
LEAGUE OF NATIONS REQUIRED IT! Is it not so,
Governor Cox?

Blister Beetle Attacks Potatoes.

Charles L. Morang of Ellsworth
made a nonstop record run from his
farm on the Stabawl road TO County
Agent Bridges Office Monday morn
ing TO tell him of a new and hungry
bug that had attacked his potatoes.
Mr.. Bridges had Just hung up the re-
esayer after hearing a similar tale OF
woe from Everett l.. Tracy of North
Franklin, and from an Eastbrook
man. The trouble. or the bug,
seemed to strike everywhere at once.
Mr.. Bridges went out to the Mo-
rang farm and captured a few of the
bugs, which he identified as the ash
gray blister beetle--not a common
potato pest, usually preferring beans
Dat when the beetles take fancy to

in one day than the same number OF
potato bugs in month. They are
voracious feeders on the foliage, soon

dropping into a field and feeding vo-
Hacisusly. This accounts for its sud
den appearance. The beetle is from
aarf an inch to nearly an inch long.
its back an ash gray. its body and un-
der parts lighter. and its abdomen
hinged with fine brown lines.
IL is lively fellow. and spraying
probably will not kill 1t, but may
drive il from the plants. II seems TO
be periodical in its visits, much as the
locust. Eliery Wilbur Of waltham
says they once visited his potatoes. he
thinks il was eleven years ago,
stripped a few rows of potatoes, and
then disappeared in a day or two as
suddenly as they had appeared. He
says they did no great damage to the
srop.
The blister beetle obtains its name,
Nike others Of its kin. from the strong
acid or blistering power of the liquid
IL contains. II one of the beetles Is
crushed upon the skin of the arm or
body where it is sensitive. not being
exposed to the weather, the acid is
sufficiently strong to cause a blister.
1t is from insects of this family that
the Spanish Fly" of commerce is OBJ
tanned.
The blister beetle is not an un-
mixed evil. In the larval stage il
feeds upon the eggs OF grasshoppers
And it is probable that the beetle has
an enemy of its own. When Mr.
Bridges visited the Morang farR
Monday afternoon. he found swarm.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There Is only one way 20 cure catarrhal
deafness. and that Is by a coustitu-
tionai remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition Of the
mucous lining OF the Eustaehian Tube.
When this tube Is inaamed you have a
rumhling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when IL Is entirely closed. Deafness
Is the result. Unless the Inflammation
can be reduced and this tube restored
to its normal condition. hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases Of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh which is Ar
innamed condition OF the mucous sur
