Ripping Rhymes
CHINESE coSTOMs.
BY WALT MASON

In China, great and happy land, the
doctors only in demand when folks
are feeling fine; he's paid to keep his
patients hale; if they fall sick he
draws no kale. and must take in his
sign. And so we see him on the jump,
to cure the measle or the mump, or
other fell disease; it doesn't pay to
have men sick, so he prescribes his
powdered brick. his pills and healing
teas And if the patient cashes in,
the heirs kick up frightful din that
indicates their ire, they camp upon
the doctors trail, and ride that learned
man on a rail- and set his house afire.
And in our land, where culture reigns,
when we fall sick, with pea green
pains. we call the nearest doc; when
we are we'll we care no whoop for all
The potions in his coop, for all the
piKs in stock The doctor knows we
have wad, a bundle opulent and
bread, he knows We'll pay his bills;

Good Evening
Bv ROY x, MOULTON
FOOLED AGAIN.


These people who run comets
Have got to mend their ways.
Three or four times lately
They have got us all ready
For the end of the world, and
Have got US all excited,
Figuring how much we would save
BY having the end of things.
This time we were told again
That a comet would swish US
With its fiery tail and
Anything might be expected,
And we got out the dress suit
And the white gloves, and sat
In the living room with a lily
In our hands, waiting
In our most respectable attire
For the millennium.
Along about two in the morning
We were still all dressed up
With no place to go, and had
About given up, when suddenly
There was a tremendous
Gust of wind and a crash
That knocked US off the chair,
And we lay there for an hour
And finally opened one eye
And saw that the wind had
Blown an awning through one
OF our windows, and it cost
Us sl4 for new awning and glass,
Besides the expense Of getting
The dress suit pressed.
These comet sharps have got
To quit foolIng us.
That's all.

he we're not inclined TO see how long
we'll take his pills. We put tempta-
ton in his way: why should he heal
US in a day, or even in year? Why
should he show his smoothest curve,

put our works in gear? The Chinese
plan is much the best, in fact, the
peoples of the West might learn much
from Cathay; her methods often are
so sane they make our finest schemes

Why Does She Look So Old ?

The question has been asked about
many a woman under thirty, who has
married and taken upon herself the
cares of a house and young children.
When a woman is suffering from
female weakness, bearing down pains
head and back aches and nervous ir-
ritation, it is well nigh impossible to
attend to her duties and retain the
charm and freshness of youth. Must
she then struggle on towards the in
evita bic nervous breakdown, or pre-
mature old age?
Lydia Z. Pingham's Vegetable Com
pound has saved many woman from
such a fate. Thousands of grateful
letters from such women testify to the
merits of this wonderful root and herb
medicine for female ills.-Advertise-

causes them TO turn yellow and soor

broods usually appear each year, one
the first half of June and the other

This insect is easily controlled by
spraying with arsenate of lead. This

the republic. 1t would supplement the memorial
building that eventually is to be constructed
here.
The suggestion of also paying tribute to the
pioneers who followed the old National road
westward, to carve an empire out of wilderness
is apropos of the whole movement
They also were fighters, in restricted sense.
They fought against the perils of wilderness to
achieve victory, which today is seen in the mag
nificent empire, that stretches west from the
Mississippi to the Pacific slope
But the underlying motive of the dedication
Of the highway is honor for the fighters of the
county Magnificent trees, bordering that splen-
did old highway, so rich in it's historical tradi
tons and associations, would forever keep alive
the memory of the fighters Of our community
Let WAYNE county take the lead in lining the
National road, and the other counties Of Indiana
through which the National road passes, will
soon fall in line, and before many months thous-
ands of young trees will have been planted.
A statewide movement of this kind generally
gains success primarily from the effort of one
enthusiastic community. Neighboring cities and
towns quickly take up the idea, and presently
the citizens view with enjoyment the consuma-
ton of their plan.
Surely, nothing more appropriate and easier
to attain could be suggested than the planting
of trees along the highway. 1t will not take a
large outlay of money. 1t requires no expensive
supervision. The very sentiment Of patriotism
and loyalty urges every one to endorse the move
ment.
Professor Thompson, of the high school, re-
Gently suggested that trees which are native to

thought of the movement. Home trees to COM

other prominent leaders of our country. 1t ap-
peals to the patriotic instinct of all of us.

The Memorial Highway

The proposal to make the National road a
tree-lined memorial in honor of Americas veter-
ans, is fit and proper, worthy of the support of
every civic body in Wayne county, and in the
other political units through which that famous
old highway winds its way westward through
Indiana to the Pacific coast.
The idea of fringing the great national art
cries of travel with living trees, dedicated as a
perpetual memorial to the men who fought for
"Old Glory" has been endorsed everywhere in
the United States, and is now being carried out
in many places.
Wayne county has never Jagged behind other
counties of Hoosierdom in the alacrity and zeal
of its young men to join the colors. Her record
for patriotism is unexcelled.
But her manifestation of gratitude to the
fighters has been conspicuously absent. No gran
tie shaft, for instance, rises in majestic splendor
in the county seat to show our appreciation of
the men who fought to preserve the Union. No
thing has been done to commemorate the service
of the Spanish-American war veterans. No
memorial has been erected for the soldiers of the
World war.
And yet, veterans of every war in which the
United States has engaged lie buried in our GENE
teries.>
The planting of trees along the National
road, from the Ohio line to the western bound
airy of the county would be one Of the most APP
propriate memorials that could be suggested. 1t
would be constant reminder to future genera

F. Collins for Mr.. Delaney.
Quoting from the complaint of e74
printed pages, Senator johnson re-
viewed the city's contention that vari-
Gus sections of the state and Federal
constitutions were violated by the law,
which, he said, enabled state ap-
pointed body to exercise arbitrary
power to break contracts now existing

A rent action brought in the 9th
District Municipal Court by the Tero
Realty Company yesterday revealed
that John 7. Hettrick. who is now serv-
ing a term in the penitentiary, occu-
pied an apartment at 1873 West Seventy
ninth Street as John Rogers"
At the time the Lockwood Investi-
eating Committee was looking into the
accounts of Hettrick a number of
checks made payable to JEANNE Rogers
were discovered AT first it was
thought these might have been issued
to cover payments, to persons interested
in covering up the operation of Het-
tricks code of practice"
The suit brought by the Tero COM
pany, however, shows that they were
payments made by Hettrick to his wife.
According to E. H. Harris, superin-
tendent of the apartment house, Het-
trick, as "John Rogers" took lease
on the apartment for $4,000 and gave
John T. Hettrick as reference. Het-
trick wrote a glowing recommendation
of the virtues of "Jehn Rogers" ac-
