FACTS ABOUT
20 OpToMETRy

The first Optometrical law was
passed in the state of Minnesota
many years ago. Every year since
then other states have recognized the
value Of Optometry to the public
and have enacted similar legislation,
and at present the only states with
out OptoNetrical lays are Texas and
Missouri. \
These laws protect the public first,
by requiring eEery OptOmetrist u
give proof OF his ability to detect and
correct all etpbrs of vision. Secondly,
by preventing incompetent persons
from invading Nthe field.
An Optohetfist uses no drugs in
his examiDatiom depending for his
finding on many ingenious instru-
ments which have been devised and
perfected in recent wears.
For that reason the~results which
the OYtometrist secures are singular
ly exsct.

Trespassing on Farms.

Rock Island county farmers have registered
complaint against folks from the city who
are in the habit of taking trips into the country
in quest OF provender for which they do not
expect to pay Just now the wild blackberry
is the favored object Of their excursions. The
automobile has increased the invasions of the
countryside, particularly on Sundays. with the
result that the farmers are up in arms and
are threatening prosecutions unless their city
neighbors desist in their activities
The farmer rightly maintains that the city
folks probably would call the police if they
found stranger in their premises pulling veg
etables or picking berries The farmer owns
the growing things on his place. and those who
take them without permission are liable to
prosecution.
Doubtless there are wild berries to be had
along the public roadways, and there are times
when city visitors possibly are not aware that
they are trespassing private property. But
they ought to exercise little precaution to
make sure that they are not taking something
that belongs to another.
The farmers have served notice on city
berry picking parties that they will spare
themselves trouble in future by making sure
of their premises before they begin operations
Too, there spots in the county where the
owners do not object to outsiders raiding the
bushes, but it is well that consent be obtained
| before operations are begun
| The farmer long has suffered from trespass-
| ers from the city, not alone in the loss of
| fruits and nuts, but in the shooting of game
| and livestock. 1t is high time that the farmer
| entered protest, and he will not be blamed if
| he succeeds in making an example of some OF
! the more holder visitors from the city.

The Carrier Boys.

s, The newspaper carriers get their bundles
in the late afternoon when the air is still hot
and the sidewalks almost blistering of heat
and they go ON their routes with never a grum-
BILE, usually whistling, and do their work in a
careful, thoughtful, patient manner which
would put an older worker to shame In win
ter these same boys get their papers at the
distributing center and start out on their de-
Iivering tours when there is snow, or sleet or
rain, or when the thermometers register below
the zero MARYLAND even then the boys seldom
grumble or complain.
The Argus Independent carrier system is
IN the hands of boys who not afraid of
work, who go on their rounds every day with
cut delay or irregularity. and who are in real
fty young business men who do their own col
lecting and handle their own business without
clerks, and usually without assistants Many
OF today's big men were carrier boys yesterday.
Seven presidents of the United States carried
papers when they were young. Senator Gull
lom once remarked that he pitied the senator
who had never carried papers or sold papers
in his youth. 1T is great experience and
great character builder" said the veteran sem
ator-and he knew, because he was a newsbov
himself
Tomorrows roll of honor will contain the
names of many newsboys and carrier boys who
are today making their rounds regularly. learn
ing the essentials of business and developing
habits of regularity, honesty, patience and
perseverance.

Peace-What Next?

Probably nobody experienced a great shock
with the news that the United States was no
longer at war with Germany. And rather wise
~, the powers that be at Washington decided
that it was just as well that there be no dem
onstration to mark the event.
1t would be a matter of some difficulty to
explain just what a demonstration stood for
The resolution in it's present effect merely rec
ognized an existing condition 1t ended a sit
uation that was incongruous and Illogical.
American ships were plying to German ports
and German cargoes were coming here. We
were without diplomatic representation, save
by back door methods, and we are still with
out any definite conclusion as to what the new
arrangements with Germany arising out of the
war are going to be.
While at war nominally we were going
along under formless peace Being now at
peace, the formlessness has not been altered.
We are only one step nearer the time when we
must solve the great question, which is only
whether are going to join under the form
of peace which practically all the rest OF the
world has decided upon, whether we are
going to take the risks of bargaining for set
OF terms when We no longer have our armed
forces to back US up.

MIR. Edge Is Correct.

The New Jersey senator, Mr.. Edge says
that the senate should revise the tax laws con-
sidered injurious TO business or take a recess
and go out among the people and learn their
opinions. The senator hit the nail on the head
The senate is taking recess, but not for the
purpose Of sounding out public opinion. Wash
ington grows terrifcally hot in midsummer,
and, like the rest of the country the capital
is hotter than usual this year But the fact re-
mains that congress has not as yet performed
the tasks assigned it when it was called in
extra session 1t has not enacted tax or tariff
legislation because, unless appropriations are
cut down and extravagant expenditures elm
mated, even present taxes will be inadequate
Had either party told the voters one year ago
that $5oo00o0oeo still would be necessary to
run the government, as In war days, and that
1t would not promise to reduce that amount.
that party would have been smothered at the
polls. But reduction OF expenditure and taxa
ton was promised
II the senators would do as Mr. Edge adj
vises, either act for tax reduction or 20 ont
and learn what the people want, they would
discover that there is genuine demand for
relief. demand that viii not be denied And
1t is possible that, on their return to duty the
senators then would find ways and means of
reducing expenditures.

grand jury investigation. The present upheav-
nj has been brought about as q result Of
q political dispute between Mr.. Brundage and
Mr.. Small. Doubtless II the investigation is
carried far enough it will reveal that the state
treasurership has been a bonanza for those who
have filled that office in the past. II may not
be proved that all treasurers feathered their
nests while on the Job, but likely IT would be
shown that most OF them did. The response
bility for the failure of the state to close such
leaks rests with the people. It is improbable
that any criminal act can be established in
connection with the juggling of the states
funds In the past it has been question
wholly OF the treasurer's conscience. For in
stance Mr.. Miller. present treasurer, has
turned into the state s3500oo interest on Sc
curities for the first six months of his term.
1t might be interesting TO compare these fg-
u-es with those of his predecessors.
The grand jury may or may not be able to
prove that Mr.. Small and Mr.. Sterling proved
themselves keen fnanciers during their terms
as state treasurer and that they earned-not
illegally-in excess Of their fixed salaries, but
the revelations hardly can bring anything more
serious than that. But the investigation ought
to have sanitary results insofar as correcting
an abuse that has been existent for years at
the state capital an open invitation to an off,
cial to use the states money in fattening his
own bank account
There should be law to compel the treas
urer to account for every dollar of the state IS
money and to turn it into the treasury. 1t
ought to be an easy matter to plug the hole
through which treasurers in the past have been
able to pocket interest that could not legally
be claimed by the state.
The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1921-07-13

{ II has been pretty generally understood in
the past that the state treasurer of Illinois il
he chose to take advantage of his official oppo--
tunities. could earn more than his fixed salary
out OF his position. This was done through
pocketing interest in excess of the rate which
the state legally receives for such monies as
1t has on deposit or invested. The state treas
urer gives an adequate bond to protect the
state and there is little concern as to how ne
handles the states cash or where he places
1t during his term, just SO that the records are
correct, when he turns over his office to his
successor.
! 1t will be recalled that during the last cam
pafgn for the Republican gubernatorial nomi-
nation 1t was charged than Len Small, when
treasurer, had profted to the extent of several
hundred thousand dollars during his term
through the manipulation of the states 4
uancss. In othsr words, he had SO advantag-
eeusly placed the money during his term that
he had realized small fortune in excess of
the amount that the state was entitled
to receive according to law. But it would not
have been easy for Mr.. Small to explain to the
people that he was entitled to this money So
that shortly after the facts were made public
by his political opponents he returned the
money to the state treasury. Had he chosen
to retain the money it is unlikely that he could
have been compelled legally to have returned
it. Mr. Small, it is supposed. had committed
no greater offense than had some OF his pre-
fecessors in office.
Just now the Sangamon county grand jury
Is investigating the affairs of the state treas
urers Office during the terms OF Mr.. Small and
Fred E. Sterling. Mr.. Small Is now governor
and Mr.. Sterling is lieutenant governor. Mr..
Miller. present state treasurer. questions the

The Marks of Anhedonia.

This wouldn't be a bad title for
a moving picture. Ali rights re-
served. Everybody knows what an
hedonia is now. especially dyspep-
tics. and more especially those dys-
peptics whose troubles, ara caused
BY splanchnoptosis. Great Jupiter,
those prodigious medical terms will
pop out. Nearly everybody ought
to know by this time that splanch-
noptosis means dropping, falling,
prolapse, sagging or just ptosis OF
any of the in'ards. People with
splanchnoptosis. are generally ex-
perts in dyspepsia and indigestion,
besides chronic constipation, auto
intoxication and all those vulgar
ailments of the proletariat. (Note to
school teachers: Spare the little
ones this chapter, l beseech you
So how could the victim of such a
train of troubles be anything else
than a chronic testimonial writer
You must have noticed that nearly
every testimonial for a life restorer
dwells eloQuently on how "I could
scarcely eat and everything I did
eat turned to gas; l got so weak !
could hardly drag myself to the
table-but now l can hardly drag
myself away-in fact, l have quite
an edge on and usually take a
snooze after each meal, thanks to
your wonderful life giving tonic.
What a boon you've conferred on us
poor victims of prohibition with
your wonderful restorer."
Once in a blue moon, whatever

tients are of the corset-wearing

The Daily Short Story

Like the sweet secret heart OF
you!"
l have said it was foolish, but my
heart was on fire. l had known for

And then l grew suddenly mar

| instead, the clear, level, clean
glance was like the shining of crys-
/ tai waters.
1t was the crystal GOODNESS of
! them that brought me to my senses.
I remembered that here was sane
! tuary, and beat down the flame that
burned behind my lips.
| In the hall we came upon Vernon
swaying dizzily, clinging to the
swivel post, muttering smothered
oaths as he stared stupidity at us.
At midnight, sitting wide awake,
| and alone, thinking, it must be con-
fessed, of her, and all that she could
never be to me. / was called to the
! phone
They were bringing her to me.
The hospital was far away, and her
need of immediate attention was
supreme. They brought Vernon,
too, though one glance at the SCARED
| thing that had been a man was
enough. :. He was past help,
Perhaps it was as well that he was
dying when they took him from the
little room where he had imprisoned
himself with her. My bromid had
not been as effective as l had sup
posed. He had followed US, and i'm
agained things that no husband of
hers should have deemed possible.
Smoke and flames had done for him,
but failed to wreak his vengeance
on her. But for weeks l could not
be sure that she would not die, aft
er all, and in those weeks l learned
/ many things -. about my own
heart, and the heart of this wonder
full woman.
That she came to love me-con-
scented to find another sanctuary in
the love had now no need to con-
ceal from her-completes this story,
and leads US to the morning that
came to US after weeks of pain. And
that morning L led her out into the
sunshine where the UNCOVERED
church nestled at the foot of the
hill. Into that sanctuary of the
soul I led her, and her lips were
sweet, her eyes clear as crystal
waters, yet warm with life, as we
said over the words that made us
belong one to the other, It'll death
should US part
