SHADOWS OF EVIL.

Expected evils rarely materialize.
The reason for this is simple Fore
warned of impending disaster persons
and states take steps to avoid them.
These facts are illustrated by Forbes
Magazine in an article citing a number
of instances in point. 1t says:
The world. we were constantly told,
was awaiting the signing of the Ger
man reparation agreement before EN-.
barking upon a more confident and
prosperous course. Well, the agree
ment has been signed, apparently in
good faith, without a single reserva-
ton. Surely that is a historic mile
stone passed in our journey towards
world recuperation.
The darkest cloud hanging over the
Bolshevism. Instead of engulfing and
running nation after nation, Bolshe-
vism has been decisively repudiated
in every land outside of Russia and
even there it palpably is doomed.
A year ago there was nation wide
shaking of heads over the arrogancy
and inefficiency of labor. Labor is
now less arrogant and more efficient
and the indications are that the low
| ering of wages in the railroad and
certain other industries will be ef-
fected without precipitating any I'M
due upheaval.
Are we forgetting. in our ~discom-
future over falling prices, what a tur-
mol was raging a year ago against
the high cost of living? Discomfort
then was intense, and justifiably
so in many instances. Well, that is
| being cured. Wholesale prices have
| receded practically SO per cent from
| last years peak. and as considerable
shaking down remains to be done In
numbers of industries, the process
will doubtless go appreciably farther
altho there will be a counterbalancine
| factor in the form of some recovery
! in raw materials and commoditie.
which have gone below the cost o.
production.

1t has been said that discreet man
never praises one woman to another
woman. Taking this by and large. it
is good advice. 1t is especially good
advice when it come to a man who is
holding up his mothers virtues as a
model to his wife.
my husbands mother is a splendid

discussing this subject the other day,

harped continually on what mother
says, and mother does, and the way
mother cooks, until 1 am sick and
tired of mother, and all pertaining to
her.
More than that, he is always talk
ing about his love for his mother. and
how nobody can ever take mother
place, and about mothers influence,
and so on. Now. 1 want my husband
to admire his mother, and tc love her,
and I've got sense enough to realize
that the way a man loves his mother
and the way he loves his wife, are not
the same. and that the two affections
do not conflict

perceive that most of the things that
he says about his mother are pure
tsentimentality. It's the traditional

and with good reason; but when she is
with him I notice that she gets on his
nerves with her little peculiarities. and
that even the dishes that she cooks for
him, and that he used to like as
how. seem to have lost their flavor.

tage, and telling me what mother

tirely different conditions of life. 1t Is
doubtless true that mother did not
wear dresses that were short in the
skirt and low in the neck. and mother
did not belong to bridge clubs, and
didn't automobile, and golf, and one
step, and mother was always cooking
and sewing, and cleaning. and worked
from sun to sun; but fashion, and con-
ditions, and customs have changed
since then. - ss9S

mother did, he wouldn't be seen out
on the street with me. If l had as
narrow range of interest as she had
and a conversational repertoire that
only took in the kitchen and the muir

nothing but the household drudge that
his mother was, he would find some
other woman to play around with him

In the vicinity of Westfield, Mass
the production of milk has SO far out
stripped it's consumption that produc-
ers are either feeding their milk to the
hogs, or throwing it away. At the
same time milk is retailing at from Is
to Is cents a quart. Dealers refuse to
pay more than a small price for the
surplus, and the producers say that
this price does not warrant delivery.
Efforts have been made to increase
consumption among school children
who are under normal weight, but at
present prices parents refuse to buy
more than is necessary for the table.

FISHING TRIP TALKS.

Those fishia' jaunts we used to take were
more than fishin trips,
1t seems TO me they brought to us our best
An whether We had luck or not, was fishin'
good or bad,
We found delight an pleasure the good old
talks we had.
We went to catch some fish, Of course, but
always night an day
We'd come to know each other IN bigger,
broader way.
I mind one time We sal out there an never
got bite
An yet before we knew it. it was comm on
We'd simply talked the day away. discussin'
various things,
R4ligion, en- the ways of men, an Euro

The purposes Of birth an death, jes' lay

The way we never would at home, or may

You get a bunch together in some fishin'
shack at night.
An you'll hear some real high thinkin' by

An you sit all day with someone under

With Gods wonders ali around you an the

An you'll find yourselves both talkin' in n

or the things you think in silence which
you very seldom speak.
Those fishin' jaunts we used to take meant

An whether luck was good or bad, the

We grew to know each other, for we tnkeld

The Mississippi Valley association at
its recent meeting went on record as
follows: ut is the belief of this as
ISOLATION that American ships in coast
wise trade should be exempt from toll
or dues in passing thru the Panama
canal" This position may be all right
for a body organized for the purpose
of promoting water transportation,
but it would be death to the trans
continental railroads. Already these
roads are sustaining heavy losses of
traffic as the result of canal competi-
ton. The men who invested their
money in railroads should not be
asked to meet the competition of the
ship owners who did not spend a cent
for the canal and at the same time pay
taxes to maintain the route of their
competitors.
