A SUMMER WHITE HOUSE.

The suggestion that Monticello, home of Thomas
Jefferson be bought by the government as country
home for the president will be popularity approved,
we believe. Several times in the recent past move
ments have been begun for acquiring this historic
ing came of them, chiefly because the owner was In
position to decline to sell unless he could impose
conditions which seemed to him appropriate
Now, however, he wants to sell, the cost of up
keep having grown beyond his means He has spent
upon it, in restoring the house and bringing back
to the estate most of the acreage that originally be-
longed to Jefferson, about ST. 900, 900 He will let it
all go for half Million If the purchaser be the gov
eminent, or others "who deemed able and worthy
to become owners of such shrine" If the estate
is to be preserved none but the government should
acquire it. But whether or not 1t should be taken
rural white house may be debatable.
The country ought to provide retreat for the
president-a place in which he could find temporary
relief from the endless round Of demands upon him
in Washington. Could he find that at historic Month
cello? Should the government acquire the estate 1t
must necessarily become show place, doubly at
tractve the patriotic and the merely curious when
the president was there. 1t would be impossible to
national shrine The people would claim their right
to visit it, and they could not be denied.
While no more dignified could be made of the
historic place, incline to the belief that If
gress consents to its purchase Monticello should be
maintained show place and shrine on account of
its past associa MS. AS summer home for the pres
ident, in which privacy and rest could be had,
smaller place would be practical.

TOUCHING wILHELMs TENDER SPOT.

Worldly glory is transient at the best and those
with phllosophic minds accept with equanimty the
mutations of time, knowing that the pendulum
swings both ways and that tranquility succeeds ag-
tation. But Wilhelm Hohenzoern is not likely to
take calm view of the fact that number of streets
and public places in Berlin to lose such titles
as Kaiser, Kronprinz, Hohenzollern and others sug-
gesve of the imperial family of which he is the
head This result is to about through the &C.
ton of the Berlin municipal council to change names
of streets and places which have monarchistic or
mtaristic meaning
This will be sad blow at the pride of Wilhelm
who known to be In the shrinking violot
class Immured in place which at least provides
personal safety for him, but for which he has no
love- the ex-kaiser's heart-perhaps his hope also
is in Prussia and to have the chief city of the

he doubt thinks still is his due must be gall in
deed to a nature such his Although he fought to
add to his own personal power the nation behind him
pretended to think that he waged for the glory
of the empire and its protection. He must have felt
that in his exile he still held the request and esteem
of large number of his former subjects but he

Answer: 1 have no recipe for

here is the other recipe you wish:
Lemon Pie Made With Bread
Crumbs: Heat pint of sweet
milk to the boiling point and pour

yolks of 2 eggs, the Juice and graf
ed rind of two lemons, sugar to
suit taste, and piece of butter
the size of nut; turn this mixture
into a pie pan which has been
lined with pastry and slip the pan
into a moderate oven for about 40
minutes-or until firm. Then take
the pie out of the oven, spread
over it the whites of eggs which
have been stiffly whipped and
sweetened with tablespoons of
sugar, and return the pie to the
oven to brown.
Mrs. Anna D.-'My husband has
spilled either coffee or tea on a
white shirt. How can l get the
stain out?"
Answer: If the stain Is from tea,
soaking the spotted part in gly-
cerine will aid in its removal;
simply wash the garment in soapy
water afterward. But if the stains
come from coffee, they should be
sprinkled with borax, then inn
mersed in cold water and wash
out. Obstinate coffee stains, how
ever, as we'll as very obstinate tea
stains, require an application of
Javelle water (bought at any drug
store,) followed by rinsing in
weak ammonia water Ito neutral
ize the acid) and then in clear
water.

HERE'S HOPING.

After conference with the president House
leaders have announced that revision plans con-
tempated a cut Of about Is per cent in the gov
ernments operating costs and requirements.
This comparatively small per cent is very sub
stantial sum, amounting to about $500. 900, 900.
The grave danger is that much OF this reduction
will be made in the wrong place Those departments
which had had enormous appropriations have built
up huge bureauocracies and their lobbying power is
enormous In addition to this fact is the added fact
that the army and the navy technical callings
and layman hesitates to array novice's Judgment
against their alleged expert knowledge of the needs
While this cut will materially help and will take
many annoyances out Of the tax laws, the fact re-
mains that our hope Of large reductions must rest
on the outcome of President Harding's disarmament
conference in November. 1t our war establishment
which eats the big holes in revenues. or course
the ravages of the mice in the various bureaus
mean a large expense in the aggregate. If General
Dawes and the reorganization commission can cut
through the red tape deep enough to get to those
holding useless jobs millions can be saved Here's
hoping.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
TIME TO WADE IN.

(From the Philadelphia Public Ledger)
President Harding has a program for the restora-
ton of confidence American farms and In Amer
financial circles He has ran for the revival OF
trade and manufacturing.
He believes the time has when congress
should forget its fears and quit lodging. AS good
partisan lived, he wants congress to forget
about partisanship and pay more attention to the
state of the nation. He has right to call upon the
democrats to forget partsanship. but the leader
of republicans he has such right and he Is prepar-
ing to exercise 1t. l
The president is asking no more of congress than
bill be deferred and this took high order of politi
cal courage With the railroads showing reactionary
tendencies and slipping backward in public opinion,
he had the courage to demand rail relief. In the
face of growing feeling that the farmers are ask
ng too much, that they seek to become privileged
class, he insists that the farms must have help.
There is lot of pessimism In Washington. Con-
gress is worse than tainted with 1t. Members know
what ought to be done. but they afraid to so
and afraid to vote for the necessary measures They
are fearful OF the demagogues, afraid of criticism
and alarmed for fear they lose their seats. Con-
gressmen are acutely that the elections Of 1922
are only little more than year away
The president has much faith In his party and In
push the fighting and to breathe some courage into
the congressional coward. Doubtless the White House
view IS that there be rough sailing for the
party in 1922, but things will be all serene again by
1924.
Inaction is not helping matters The way the pres
dent and his advisors look at 1t they win be damned
If they do, but they will be triply damned IL they
don't Therefore they setting their teeth and pre-
pairing to wade In,

"Are you going to race with a
rug, and do you think you can beat
it il you run fast enough2" asked
Mr.. Longears. twinkling his nose.
Don't make me laugh" begged
Nurse Jane, 'for / have so much
to do trying to get the bungalow
clean, as Mrs. Wibblewobble, the
duck lady, is coming over this att
ernoon. So must have a rug beat

"Has the rug been bad that It
needs whipping?" went on Uncle
Wiggily.
'There you go again!" cried
Nurse Jane, and this time she could
not help laughing. Don't make any
more Jokes, Wiggy, that's a dear!
Get out the ,arlor rug, hang 1t
over the clothesline and beat out all
the dust"
"Oh, you want the dust beaten
out of the rug!" exclaimed the bum
ny uncle, just as IL he hadn't
known, all the Will that this was
what his muskrat lady housekeep-
err meant "All right. I'll do It'll"
Uncle Wiggily dragged out the
rug and draped 1t over the clothes
line. It was the same line that
Bawly No Tail, the frog boy had
used the night before. to get Uncle
Wiggily In through the second story
window when The bunny had for
gotteL his key.
After the rug was over the line
Uncle Wiggily found stick and
began teating out the dust.

Wiggily,
When Nurse Jare turned her
back for a moment, as she was
sweeping the porch, Uncle Wiggily
slipped inside the rug hanging over
the line. Grandpa Goosey hid be-
hind a big stone 70 keep watch.
Nurse Jane, who had been listen

Uncle Wiggily beat the rug. sud
denly missed the noise. She looked
toy ard the yard.
There! Just as I expected" she
exclaimed. "Wiggy has run away
leaving the rug half beaten might
have known he'd do that! Off ad-
venturing | suppose! Well I'll beat
that rug myself"
She ran down, took up the stick
and began banging the rug as hard
as she could, making ne dust fly.
Then, all of sudden, from be-
meath the rug came cries of:
ouch! oh my! Please stop! I'm
In here!"
whats that? Some one in the
rug!" gasped Nurse Jane.
Eyes, | ami" meekly answered
Uncle Wiggily as ne hoped out.
My sakes! Go look in the glass
and wash your face, Wiggyl" laugh
ed Nurse Jane. You're sight!'
And the bunny was, for he was COW

And when he had washed him
self, so his nose showed pink as it
ought to, and came back to finish
his work, Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy
laughed and said:
"Oh, go long with you! I'll get
Billie Wagtail, the goat, to butt the
dust out of the rug with his horns.
Go on with Grandpa Goosey, Uncle
Wiggily and have a good time, I
heard you whispering about the
picnic"
So the bunny and goose gentle
man went happily away, Billie beat
the rug and Nurse Jane and Mrs.
Wibblewobble had 4 nice visit to-

when they thought of Mr.. Longears

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE.
CHAPTER 81

CHAPTER 81.
well Nan, / guess our firm
thinks we aren't able to keep up
margins, so they have made 1t q
rule that no employee shall specu-
late"
What do you mean? That you
have to take out that money you
have on cotton at a loss?"
mo. 1t was rp little today
again, just enough to make me
whole, so I drew it out. I have a
plan thought think I'll risk try
ing"
what is It? Do tell me quick 1
am wild to know"
TITS simple enough. / wonder I
haven't thought of 1t before. We
will open an account in your maid
en- name; then ! will buy or sell for
you whenever / get tip that I
think worth trying. Fool not to
have thought of 1t BEFORE" Dick
grumbled.
That night we sat up terribly
late planning what we would do
with the money Nan Hardy was
going to make. On3 thing Dick in
ololCu upOll-- was We
a lot, then as soon as possible build
a little home. We almost quarreled
because I advised him to wait until
we could build a handsome one.
Get nice big lot, Dick. Then
we can have handsome house,
and garage"
Dick had torn up the plan for
the house we had talked about, torn
it up in disgust because l said 1t
was Inadequate. Now he repeated
what he had said:
1--WE always wanted to plan a
house, Nan, I'll show you and other
people who think they know it all
that 1t isn't necessary to spend a
fortune on house to have it both
comfortable and convenient"
Dick was terribly nervous that
night. I now know it was because
he felt he was deceiving the firm,
and was unhappy over it. although
almost as anxious now as was / 20
speculate. I wanted the money for
show, for clothes. Dick wanted It
for me. That was the difference. I
had made him unhappy by wanting
things we could not afford, by talk
ing Of money, urging him to make
more.
