It would seem that Joking con

And yet, strange to say, there are
hundreds of epitaphs or tombstones
throughout the world that are as
humorous as anything to be founc
in our modern joke-books. This fol
instance, from a grave stone ir
Connecticut:
Here lies, cut down like unripe fruit
The wife of Deacon Amos Shute;
She died of drinking too mucf
coffee,
Amy Dominy eighteen forty.
Or this from a Devonshire tomb
stone in England:
Charity, wife of Gideon Bligh,
Underneath this stone doth lie.
Nought was she e'er known to do
Bu- what her husband told her to.
Or yet this one, above a grave il
bonnie Scotland:
Here lies the body of Alexande'
McPheron,
He was very extraordinary per

He was two yards high in his stock

And kept his accountrements trim
and neat,
He was slew at Waterloo,

BACK TO THE FARM

The Department of Agriculture
estimates that an army of 100000
men is going back to the farms
from the cities eager to aid in har-
vesting the nations crops At the
present time the supply of farm
labor is rated at 95.5 per cent of
normal. 1t is expected that in the
wheat belt of the Middle West a
mobile force of $4,000 will follow
the harvest from Oklahoma north
to the Dakotas and Montana. One
result of the improved labor situa-
ton is the encouragement it gives to
farmers to plant bumper crops. All
reports indicate that the farmers are
putting in lager acreages than were
expected.

THREE PRESIDENTS
ASK AID FOR CHINA
Harding, Wilson and Taft Appeal
to Americans to Help Stricken
Millions of Sister Republic.

The President and two ex-Presidents
of the United States have Joined, for
the first time in the history Of the
country, in an appeal for a philan-
thropic enterprise. President Hard ng,
ex-President Wilson and EXPIRE sident
Taft are all in the forefront of the
movement to send aid from America to
the famine victims of China.
One of President Harding's first Off
cial acts after his Inauguration, taken
when he had been In the White House
less than two weeks, was to renew the
appeal made by his predecessor In be-
half of Americas sister republic in the
East. President Harding said in part i:
"At this, the earliest practicable mo-
ment In my administration, desire to
add my own to the many appeals
which have been issued heretofore IN
behalf Of the starving people Of large
section Of China.
"The picture of China's distress Is
so tragic that l am moved, therefore,
to renew the appeal heretofore made
and to express the hope that the Amer
to this humanitarian cause as gener-
ously as they possibly can"
In appointing the American commit
tee for China Famine Fund, with his
own immediate predecessor in the
White House, ex-President Taft, as
one of the members, and Thomas w.
Lamont of New York, as chairman
President Wilson said in his plocla-
nation:
'Not only in the name Of humanity,
but in that of the friendliness which
we feel for a great people in distress,
l venture to ask that our citizens shall,
even though the task Of giving is not
today a light one, respond as they can
to this distant but appealing cry for
help"

A GREAT REFORM

The heads of executive depart
ments would be given the privileges
of the floor of both Houses of Con-
gress and the right to participate
in debate under the terms of a bill
introduced by Senator George P
Mclean of Connecticut. The
measure follows closely after the
system in vogue in the British Par
lament. It is a change that has
been advocated by many men as
bringing the executive and legisla-
tive branches of the Government
into closer relation, to the advant-
age of both.

Why Colds Are Dangerous

It is the serious diseases that
colds lead to that makes them dan
gerous. They prepare the system
for the reception and development
of the germs of influenza, pneumonia
tuberculosis, dyptheria, scarlet fever,
whooping cough and measles. You
are much more likely to contract
these diseases when you have a cold.
For that reason you should get rid
of every cold as quickly as possible.
