During The Summer Weather
all of us experience at times a certain
laxness, decided distaste for anything
strenuous.
1t Is a good thing to remember that
money in the bank loses none of its &C.

the coolest day of winter it works equally
hard.
When the weather is trying. use the

In Memoriam.

To the memory of my beloved wife,
Elizabeth Bell Zollman, who died suddenly
at her home near Travilah, Md. on June
25th, 1920, of pulmonary hemorrhase,
aged "a years.
Days are sad and lonely,
The nights are drear and lone,
Since my dearest one has left me
And to better world has gone.
She had shared our joys and sorrows,
We were joined both hand and heart,
We had toiled along together
And she nobly did her part.
Our children all grown
To womanhood and mans estate,
Well trained by her wise precepts
For life's duties or Its fate.
In our Fathers home hereafter.
Where many mansions be,
Our souls will be united
Joined for all eternity.

. once heard Mr.. Taft say that a
Presidents peak Of power usually
came after he had been in ofnce
about eighteen months. Toward
the end of his adn1lnistrtion he is
likely to be torn limb from limb. po-
liticaliy speaking. Looking back
oyer the history OF the country you
Will nnd this true enough. but Mr..
wilson has been an exception. Not
one high point would be found,
but several. and some very low
Nnes as well. IL Wilson's popularity
was traced like a weather chart or
q patients in a hospital. Although
terribly criticised for unprepsred-
ness during his first term. never
theless his highest peak of power
was not nssed until well into his
second term-indeed. 1t will only
be seen in later years at Just what
period 1t was passed. His hold
upon Congress throughout the war
has been amazing.
Two years of his administration
had passed when the catacIysm OF
Europe came. Another year went
by before the Lusitania was sunk,
and the diplomatic notes began to
multiply. Inv fact, IL began to be
generally assumed abroad that our
chief part in the conflict would take
the form OF rhetorical advice. An
American girl was seated at a desk
In a hotel psrlor in Cape Town.
South Africa. when a British officer
came up behind her and remarked,
"Ah, writing notes? i understand
you Americans are very fond OF
writing notes"
As feeling rose higher and pro-
tests began to pour in, the Presi-
dent, who had announced in the be-
ginning that he intended to be &C
cessible regularly to newspaper
men, closed his doors and became
more and more difficult to inter-
view.
Nevertheless Mr.. Wilson was said
to be affability itself. but that
after an interview had ben secured
with him one realized that he had
done most Of the talking. leaving
the important thing that the visitor
had on the tip OF his tongue to say
still unuttercd when the cordial
Presidential handshake passed him
swiftly onward and out. There was
a story current about David BeIas-
co and a group of other theatrical
magnates who went to Washing

days and closed theaters.

my marketing on Saturdays, and I
go to the masket and see what I am
getting instead of using the phone.
I buy enough to last a week of sim

enough to do and saves one going to
store. Every day / pay boy 10
cents to deliver these things to my

I also keep my kitchen cabinet we'll

pieces in the wash, she always pays

her during housc-clcaning, and I
can assure you this money I make
