Rann-dOm Reels
BY HOWARD [. RANN

most tense moments in married life
is when a well-muscled bride of a
week places sector of bread pudding
before the man she swore to cherish
and protect, and watches him edge
away from the table with crestfallen
look.
This culinary misdemeanor is made
chiefly of bread which has died of old
age and general exhaustion. After a
loaf of bakers bread has been put in
the cake bin by mistake and allowed
to remain there until two strong men
couldn't slice 1t with a cross-cut saw,
1t can always be saved by hammering
1t into the form of pudding. After
surrounding 1t with a dollars worth
OF sugar and two pounds of butter it
becomes able to stand alone and
throw out its chest. True, the law
does not compel married men to eat
1t. but 1t Is cheaper to do SO and avoid
court costs.
In some homes bread pudding is
served twice week, on stated days.
and 1t will be noticed that on those
days the restaurants and cafeterias
are crowded with apprehensive hus-
bands. Once in a while some hus-
band will break into open rebellion,
but this does not last long. owing to
mans forgiving nature. There is
something about bread-pudding
diet, however, that stamps the victim
more indelibly than being tattooed on
the left wrist, causing him to glance
about furtively at the close of every
meal.

Four-year-old Mary Ellen is much
given to humping her knees and skin
ming them. So her mother makes her
wear long stockings when she is out
playing with the children. But when
ever she goes to church or any other
place where she will not play she
wears short fancy socks. And Mary
Ellen does not like 1t.
She voiced her protest the other

Overshot water wheels respond only
sluggishly to governor that opens
and closes the gate, while one that
sets brake on the main shaft wastes
water, because the gate remains wide
open. An eastern manufacturer has
designed governor that operates both
gate and brake. AS the speed rises,
the ball spindle moves down until the
brake sets, when the sleeve begins to
move up. In doing SO it throws
clutch, and worm gear slowly
closes the gate. For the opposite. or

used which works three times as fast.

don't fret my ancient heart; night
cometh, with the end of strife. anG

my while to weep or sing a doleful
tune; for all life's troubles end in
sleep, and sleeps the greatest boom
1t isn't worth my while to hate the
man who does me wrong; for better
keep my smile on straight, and chirp
my cheer-up song. 1t isn't worth my
while to swat the man who punches
me; far better keep my timbrel hot
beneath the sunset tree. My autumn
day will quickly pass, the suns low
down the sky, and stormy passions
cut no grass when it is time to die
And hates and grudges look so cheap
when night is drawing on, and it is
time to think of sleep, of dark without
a dawn. / haven't time to nope and

Boys and Girls Are the Best Crop

The best crop which any city or state can
raise is crop of healthy, intelligent, moral boys
and girls. The cultivation of that crop is worth
infinitely more than the combined yield of our
factories, mines and farms.
For, of what profit is it to the nation if we
manufacture goods in unlimited quantity mine
coal and ores in abundance, till our soil until its
yield is enormous, and neglect the welfare of our
boys and girls?
A country, after all, is worthless and its COM
bined wealth is only so much dross, if there are
not good, wholesome, intelligent, moral boys and
girls to enjoy it's benefits.
We are spending prodiguous sums of money
in the development of our agricultural and nat
ural resources. We are investing millions of
dollars in our industrial and commercial enter
prses. Perhaps, we have become interested
in the development of the material resources of
our nation, that we have forgotten that good
boys and girls are more difficult to rear into
good men and women than to develop pure
blooded stock or invest money advantageously.
Perhaps, we forget that it is as impossible to
rear boys and girls successfully as it is for a
farmer to turn loose his cattle and expect it to
mature into fine stock, or for business man to
invest his capital in enterprise and let it run
it's own course without direction management.
Perhaps, we forget that boys and girls must
have attention. must have supervision, must be
guarded and watched over like crop or bust
ness enterprise. If this is lacking they will not
mature into the fine fruit of good citizenship.
They will have no high ideals of conduct, no con-
ception of right or wrong, no love for parents, no
devotion to country, no abiding faith to hold
them steadfast the path of rectitude and
honor.
A farmer will tell you that it takes time and
money to raise good crop. business man will
tell you that it takes time and money to develop
commercial enterprise.
And it takes time and money to train and
develop good crop of boys and girls But, let
us remember that the time is we'll devoted and
the money well spent if we develop a courageous
liberty-loving, God fearing, intelligent honor
able crop of young men and young women to
inherit the priceless heritage of our republic and
the wealth that has been accumulated under its
beneficent institutions.

SANTIAGO. Chile. Sept. 23.-Chile

told The Associated Press correspond
ent to-day.
The dispute between Chile and Peru
over Tacna and africa and Bolivia's
aspirations for an outlet to the sea has
been widely debated by the public and
in the press here since the military
revolt at La Paz, Bolivia, in July when
political party, said to be hostile to
Chile, assumed power. Speaking OF
the controversy with Peru, Senator
Yanez said:
Says Peru Is Hostile.
ITO push her policy of hostility and
repeal of international good faith,
Peru has entered into a great program
of ornaments and believes she can
count on the support of the United
States and the League of Nations.
Chile on several occasions has tried
to reach an agreement for holding the
plebiscite and, with the exception of
| the unratified agreement of 1912, Peru
always has resisted an understanding,
proposing clauses or expressing ext
gencies unacceptable or Oppressive 10
Chile"
Explains Bolivian Matter.
Referring to the Bolivian question,
| Senator Yanez said:
THE relations between Chile and
Bolivia are regulated by the treaty of
| 1904 under which the latter, ceded
definitely to Chile the province of
Antofagasta, lost by Bolivia in the
! Pacific war. Until recently, cordial
relations had been maintained between
the two countries. In July, military
revolution broke out in La PaZ; Pres
ident Gutierrez Guerra was deposed
and banished and a Junto de Gobernio
was organized.
| This new order raised as a slogan
the non-recognition of the treaty OF
1904 and the reclamation of the terri
| tories which by this pact were recog-
nized as Chiles. They were annexed
| 40 years ago and a great Chilean
population is in them.
Chile has manifested more than
once her purpose of adopting an eco
nomic policy in agreement with
Bolivia to meet that country's desire
for a port. Peru's resistance to the
plebiscite and her support of Bolivian
aspirations have hindered or retarded
this agreement and the Bolivian revolt
has made it impossible for the
moment

have been thinking a good deal
about that sign. The point is that
ruts kill a good road-all the travel
being made over one or two places.
The beaten track, grows less and
less in interest as one goes over 1t.
Largely because every new traveller
adds to it's death, and not to its life.
The one who does the same thing
over and over again, without adding
the spice of change TO his work, Is
going to die on his OWEN hands before
he has time to realize it.
1t is like this in the thought world.
The world is always wanting pioneers
to express what has not yet been ex-
pressed.
We do not want to accept anything
as true that our best and --latest thought
does not tell us is true. We will not
accept a thought-no matter how
highly tagged-unless it bears on its
heart some good resemblance to what
we believe in our heart is right and
true.
Let us all be pioneers in the unex-
pressed. Let us try to add to what
already has been so wonderfully re-
vealed Let us never lose our interest
in pioneering.
What would the thought, world do
without it's Carlyles, its rEmersons,
Thoreaus. Whitmans, Darryins-and
their sort?
Nobly to pioneer in the umaxpressed
to do it boldly so as to add new
point to human experience, and a
greater breadth to vision-that is to
take part in life as a real facor.
Give expression to your thoughts
The more you express, the better you
are able to express.
