Trying to Eliminate Justice
Thompson.

Lewis A. Jarman, delegate to the state con-
stitutional convention from Rushville, has sub
mitted proposal to increase the minimum age
n justices Of the state supreme court from 80
ID IS years. This is Of especial interest in the
Fourth supreme judicial district because JUS
tlce Floyd e: Thompson of this city. who rep
eesents 1t on the bench, is under IS and will
not have attained that age when the next reg
MAR election comes in 1921
Justice Thompson is now filling vacancy
created by the resignation of Justice Cooke,
fprmerly Of Aledo. He Is the youngest member
a the present bench and one OF the youngest
ever elected to the supreme court in any state.
Thatihe expects to again be q, candidate may
" accepted as a foregOne conclusion. 1t is
equally certain that he will deserve the place
Ia the strength Of his record. In the regular
course Of events the new constitution should
- completed and adopted before the date OF
ne next judicial election. II the proposed
Shange ID made Justice Thompson will be
barred
4 Nashville Is in this judicial district Mr.
aarman happens to once have been candidate
tor the supreme bench. He is also RepuBli-
en- and presumably was actively opposed to
the Rock Island mans election last spring.

Sugar, for a Price

Well authenticated reports have It that
there is plenty Of sugar for those who care to
pay the price, which is something upwards OF
20 cents per pound. Rock Island retailers say
that has been the situation for some time.
Most Of them knew where It was to be had,
but few would buy it because of aversion to
offering it at the price that would be neces-
sary in order to make profit. or even to come
out without loss. Any dealer doing so would
be sure to be denounced as profiteer
Rock Island railroad man says he has
personal knowledge of number of carloads
of sugar being held on the tracks somewhere
within thousand miles Of this city during
December when the old crop was scarcest
Authentic instances OF this kind have been
uncovered elsewhere.
1t may be that there has not been enough
sugar to supply all demands, but it is pretty
we'll established that the scarcity was empha-
sized by unscrupulous jobbers @ho bought up
as much of the old crop as they could get at
the wholesale price fixed by the equalization
board and kept it under cover till federal con-
troll was relinquished
A little intelligent sleuthing, tracing sup
plies now available back for few weeks,
ought to show who the guilty ones are.

Hard Lines.

Milking cows at 4 a. m. with the tempera-
ture below zero is no snap, as Herbert Clarity
has assured readers OF The Argus Neither is
the operation especially attractive on hot sum
mer evenings in the height Of the mosquito
season. II more people had experience in
dairying there might be less questioning of the
fairness OF existing prices of>milk.
Even 50, there are worse jobs than the milk
man has. Fancy, for instance, letting oneself
down by rope from the top Of 200-foot
lighthouse tower on the Halifax coast IN q
bowling nor'easter and chopping eight inches
Of ice off the glass so the beacon can be SEEN
We need to read about such things now and
then to remind US how easily most of us are
getting by in this world.

For this later reason her name was
very frequent among daughters of
soldiers.
Indeed Barbara is regarded by
some countries> as protectress of
soldiers, and while her name is all
gentle and filled with piety, it
ranks with the good old warrior
names that stir the blood of men
o, many races to battle. England
named a village st. Barbe and it
seemed that nearly every family in
that quantity pretty community had
a Barbara at some time or other in
honor Of the home town. In this
way, use Of the name spread
throughout England.

Autobiography II . Baby-H.
Episode d tie Sample Ham.

Z e.
One day when 4 was creeping
about the floor immunixing myself
by repeated small doses Of germs
a baby must meet and conquer as
he grows and travels and has his
teething, = big jovial gentleman
came to the ONCE door, carrying
a whale Of q satchel which he care
fully concealed behind the porch
swing before he rang. 1t looked
suspicious and I decided to watch
the fellow. Mamie. our office girl,
gave him the once over and ad-
mitted him on his smile. Presently
father opened the private ONCE
door and welcomed the stranger
cordially-father is q terribly cor
dial man II he thinks he sees q fee
in sight. But before the big man
entered the private office he execu-
ted a dos-a-dos out on the porch
and dragged in his bag. 1t was too
late then for dad to change tactics.
It was not the first time an. agent
had put it over on dad like that.
Naturally I wanted to get q look
in that bag. But I didn't say q
word-in fact 1 wasn't on speak
ing terms with the family at the
time. l just kept quiet and hid be-
hind a big chair. But did . tall
lot of thinking. Don't imagine for
a moment that baby is gathering
wool all the time he sucks his toes
or bores his ears; he may be doing
more thinking than you give him
credit for. He may be thinking how
foolish your baby talk sounds.
Dad left the office door open when
they went in-I reckon he felt the
need of more air-so I could hear
the big man emitting an endless
monologue on carbohydrates, pro.
tein, the Kurds and the Armenians
but he didn't mention the vitamines
Every time father attempted to in.
troduce the subject Of vitamine:
that agent was reminded of a story
about Osler and the cross-eyel
woman. Father began to grow un
! easy. The man talked to him al

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have

ed together. She lives in a distant
town. -.
She used to care a great deal for
me. but as-days passed her letters,
came less often. 1 used to see her
once a week, but now I see her
about once in two or three weeks.
The last time l went to see her
We agreed to try to stay apart for
a while. l have been very good to
her and have done and given her
anything she has asked for.
love~her very much and l hate
to think of giving her up. She said
she is not sure how much she loves
me. We are both very young.
DOUBLE l..
OF course you should not have
married so young. But since your
wife did marry you, it is her place
to see 20 uas often as you want tt
go and to try to love you.
In spite of what l have said
about your wife's duty. l think it
would be wiser for you to stay
away from her. Work hard so that
you will be in a position to take
her if she wants to come to you.
Do not write often. l believe in
your case absence will make the
heart grow fonder, and, when she
finds you are willingly staying
away, she will want to see you.
Love at your age is apt to be
full Of sorrow. Keep q brave. heart
and take whatever comes with
courage.
