Smiths Brilliant Idea.

And now comes one George Smith,
a farmer living seven miles south of
Denver, and rises and plumps down a
proposition to the governor Of his
state, and thus to the American peo-
pie, a proposition, which, if adopted,
will do more for the farmer than all
the tariffs and bounJies, proposition
which for surprising simplicity out
does the trick of Columbus and the
egg, so that we wonder why some
body did not think of it before.
In letter which has been widely
copied in the press he advocates a
new law regulating marriage. His
idea is simplicity tself.
What does the farmer need? Why,
help. Help, cheap help. Can any one
think Of a better way to clear the
mortgage off the farm than plenty of
home grown help that does not have
to be paid wages?
And the way to get this, natures
way, is to marry, it and beget it.
Did not Abraham begt Isaac and
Isaac beget Jacob, and Jacob beget
Joseph and all his brethren?
Mr.. Smith, and there's sound,
honest, downright name for you, thus
addresses the governor:
"My wife is sick and I can't hire
any house help. You are good gov
ernor, or the people wouldn't have
elected you by such large majority
the second time. You should origl-
nate some good help for farmers, and
l offer you something to help the
farmers and you can lead all the other
governors if you can get it made a
law.
E'It is, let the city men have one
wife and the farmers have two wives.
You see, one could help the other,
and a farmer could more surely raise
boys to work the farm and not need
to hire at high wages Then the farm
ers could sell crops cheap and make
money, and living in cities would be
cheaper, and many young men would
leave cities to be on farm and have
two wives. l am certain a farmer
cant get any help unless it is born
and raised on farm. Experience is
needed every time.
"You would be a better man than
Lincoln if you can get the United
States to let all the farmers have two
wives. You see, the farmer would be
Independent of hired help in a few
years, both On farm and housework.
A farmer could often marry two Sis
ters, or good pals. Think it over.'
Thus Smith.
There is only one difficulty with
this brilliant plan.
It is Mrs. Smith.
With women having the vote now,
and everything, and women being so
unreasonable and set in their ways
and all, we somehow fear that this
idea is not going to work.

Bif.

A newly married couple were en-
tertaining their friends, and among
the guests was one whose rudeness
made him extremely Objectionable to
the rest of the company.
His conduct was tolerated for some
time, until at supper he held up on
his fork a piece Of meat which had
been served to him. In vein Of in
tended humor he looked round and
remarked: "Is this pig?"
This drew forth the remark from
quiet looking man sitting at the
other end of the table: 3To which
end Of the fork do you refer?"

A few years ago in Bamberg county
there was large acreage planted in
wheat, and it was tueil found To % a
most economical crop, if not profit
able one. The war came on. prices
began to soar, AMI the people, save
faithful handful, forgot all abouS
wheat, and turned their attention to
crops in which there was sure profit.
Now conditions have returned which
make it imperative that our people
grow their crops at home. The time
has again arrived when it will pay
the average farmer to grow his own
foodstuffs instead of buying them
from the west. The Herald under
stands that the acreage in wheat this
year is considerably in excess of last
year, but that it is still wholely made
auate to supply the local demand. The
Herald, not pretending to understand
farming, never undertakes to tell the
ldIuSlS WudC W p1C11l, OAI ~ NAoNS
seek to impress upon all our people
the necessity of conserving every mite
of their resources Even though a
good profit probably cannot be ex-
pected from wheat in this county, it
would certainly be the part of wisdom
not to depend on buying crops, which
are so easily grown at home, from
other sections. No matter how cheap
-four may be, it would be difficult to
buy it if the farmers have no money
with which to buy. The inability to
purchase such commodities as rice,
-four, syrup, potatoes, etc., is an en-
barrassment that is so wholly unnecs-
sary that it would appear no reason
able farmer ever would be confronted
with it.

When Dinner Was Over.

He was unaware Of the eccentrici-
ties to be found in the wild west when
he entered what seemed to be the
only hotel in the place. After usher
ing him to a table and giving the
stranger a glass of water, the waiter
inquired: "Will you have sausages
on toast?"
'sNo, I never eat 'em," the guest
replied. 'In that case," said the
waiter, moving away, dinner is
over"

It appears to this writer that in in
creasing the passenger and freight
rates to such enormous figures as now
prevail the railroads have shot the
goose that lays the golden egg and in
flicted a rather serious wound. The
people are helpless to prevent increas-
es whenever it occurs to the inter-
state commerce commission to make
them, but they are not helpless in
avoiding travel, and this appears to
be exactly what they are doing. 1t is
noted that passenger travel through
Bamberg is the lightest, perhaps, in
many years; it appears to be even less
than during the strenuous financial
period of 1915 and 1915, when the
people generally were in much more
dire stringency than now. The rail-
roads are crying hard times even with
the enormous rates prevailing, and
we predict that the cry will continue
until railroad rates are placed on a
basis compatible with other prices.
At the present time it costs nearly
four cents a mile to travel on the
train. The consequence naturally is
that when a party desires to visit Au-
gusta or Columbia the trip is made
by automobile. Four persons can hire
an automobile to make a trip to Co.
lumbia for SIS or less, whereas it
costs about $500 piece to go on tine
train. A truck load of goods can be
transported for far less than by
freight. Thank goodness the people
are not entirely dependent on rail
roads these days while automobiles
are so plentiful With everything
else under the sun going down, rail
road and telephone rates go up. State
laws do not prevail against the rail
roads. The laws of the people do.

Casserole Cookery.

$50 that's what you call casserole,
friend of mine who had come from
her farm home to pay me visit.
"Humph! It's the same old covered
baking dish that I've always used.
and my mother before me, and my
grandmother before her" And we
both laughed merrily because it was
true. The much-talked-of casserole"
is just the age-old covered baking
dish. only rugged up with a silver or
nickel holder, and made in a variety
of attractive wares.
If you have never tried cooking in
a casserole, I advise you to get one.
There are a number of strong argu-
ments in their favor In homes where
the father of the family cannot al
ways get home from business prompt
ly at dinner time the casserole solves
the problem of keeping his dinner hot
for him: the other members of the
family may be served from the cas-
serole, then the cover put on, and the
dish slipped back into the oven to
keep warm till father comes
Ordinarily, however. the casserole
goes straight to the table from the
oven. This saves soiling a meat plat
ter or vegetable dish and lightens the
task of dish-washing just so much.
Please tell me just which vege-
tables may be cooked in casserole,
say so many letters from my readers.
They do not seem to grasp the fact
that all vegetables may be cooked in
it, Many housewives use it daily for
their dinner vegetables. Such vege-
tables as asparagus. caulifiower cell
cry. cucumbers. eggplant. kale. on
IONS parsnips. peas. potatoes. satisfy.
sweet corn, rutabags. Swiss chard and
turnips are perhaps best when cooked
in the casserole in cream sauce made
by using one tablespoon of flour to
one cup of sweet milk. adding sea-

A New EYelash Tonic.

Sometimes 1 wonder at the great
faith in human nature which will let
a woman put anything on her hair or
face or around her eyes which she
sees written Of. or hears of in the
most casual manner. To be sure. We
have excellent laws these days. SO
that she Is not apt to purchase any
thing harmful. But how is she to
know that the stuff she is purchasing
is any good at all. or that it is good
for her particular ailment?
l want to advise my readers to be
Skeptical, to inquire closely into the
contents Of everything they use. 1t
isn't that think they are apt to buy
anything harmful. but simply that
which, in these days Of high prices.
is a serious matter.
Take. as an instance. the matter of
eyelash tonics. These are difficult to
make. Whatever is used is apt to get
into the eyes, SO only the most harm
less ingredients are allowable. For
some reason vaseline has had q great
vogue as an eyelash grower. l never
yet found a case where 1t did any
good.
But there are several ingredients
which do grow hair and which will
not hurt If. by any chance. they get

COMBINED COLORs OF BLUE AND PINK.
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

when June came, with its races in the
open, it's garden fetes, Its gay lie
centering around the Bois.
The women Of fashion made 1t the
fashion to tuck a huge pink rose
against a dark blue serge suit or q
dark blue silk Jersey frock or an old
fashioned gown of dark blue taffeta-
Milliners leaped like trout to the ,bait.
They desired something new and
salable. so they put the bright scarlet
hat on the back shelf and brought out
the dark blue hat with a pink rose. or
possibly a bright pink hat with flying
Victorian ribbons of blue.
1t takes about a week in Paris for
such things to become the fashion.
Quickly the world knew that bright
pink was the successor of bright red
and marine blue the successor of
cocoa brown.
The sketch shows a taffeta frock in
which the three features which you
may dislike are incorporated. The
color is dark blue, the fabric taffeta.
the rose pink. the hat Is blue, faced
with pink, and the skirt is wide and
long. exaggerately so. In contrast to
it's abbreviated predecessors, 1t gives
one the impression that the wearer Is
playing Victorian role. She is not.
She wears the latest thing by Paul
Poiret. She is return to Victorian
ISM She is undoubtedly the forerun-
ner of all of us. What she wears to-
day in Paris we will wear in Gopher
Prairie. well. certainly by next jan
uary.
The sleeves in this gown should not
go unnoticed. They were evolved
from the combination of an embroid-
cred gauntlet and a short sleeve.
1t was Jenny of Paris. whose clothes
are worn after being modified by
American manufacturers in all the
states of our Union. who saw the pic
turesque possibilities of long gaunt-
lets made of the sleeve material. She
began to flare them at the tops, to
put triangles of ornamental kid or
lace at the upper edge. 1t was an
easy thing after this fashion was es-
tablished to join the gauntlet and the
sleeve. In this Victorian frock you
see the result.
1t is an interesting bit of psychology
that when the world Is turning to the
hour with those who seek literature
and history combined that designers
in Paris should bring about decided
influence of Victorianism on the FASH
ions for women. Not only this, but
we are putting green china parrots
on our bookcase and mantelpiece. We
are using Bristol glass for flowers.

tect our eyes, and decorators fndorSe
