Cheap Skates

Cheap skates are men whose
idle lives no sane results are
giving, who loaf and argue
while their wives attempt to
earn a living. While men OF vim
and merit chase around in high
endeavor. cheap skates sit i'll the
marketplace and thrash stale
themes forever. They play
cheap games for cheaper stakes
in joints where skates assemble.
and talk of toll with hoes and
rakes will make them finch and
tremble. Cheap, skates are men
who never pay unless through
writ or Judgment; their prom
ises OF yesterday but show what
bunk and Judge meant. They
spoil their stand-otf at the start,
they mansle and behead it, and
now there is no store or mart
where they can buy on credit.
Their children have to blush for
shame. their wives. as well, are
blushing, while they. to play a
checker game, through alleys
dark are rushing. Cheap skates
are chaps who have no pride,
who'd rather loaf than labor,
and smile when charity's sup
piled by some more thrifty
neighbor. Cheap skates will
borrow book or hen, they bor-
row things and break them, and
never bring them back again un-
less the peelers make them.
Cheap skates abound in every
town, and rank not with its
glories; they hold the shady
benches. down, and tell the
shady stories.

CAN CUT DOWN FIRE LOSSES
Abundant Proof That careiessness 10
the Chief Cause Of Many Disas-
trous Confiaqrations.

The Society for Electrical Develop
ment, dissatisfied with a recent re-
port Of the National Board Of Fire
Underwriters in which electricity was
blamed as the chief cause Of fire losses,
has made an exhaustive examination,
taking the year 1919 as basis It
publishes in the Electrical World the
results Of this investigation. The re-
port shows that in 345 cities, with an
aggregate population Of %, 495, S51 per-
sons, there were 1858 fires in 1919,
Of which those apparently Of electric
origin numbered 3,5GS, or 2.57 per
cent Of the total.
Reginald Trautschold, writer of the
report, remarks that "a large proper
ton OF electric fires. If not the major
ity, are caused by careless disregard
Of quite obviously necessary precau-
lions, such as leaving an electric fiat
iron with the current turned on upon
nm inhammable ironing-board." Though
fires resulting from such causes usual
ly cause only trifling damage, it Is
easy to see how they may result in
very serious CONGREGATIONS.

FAIL TO RESPECT PROPERTY
Great Body Of Americans Need Edu-
cation Concerning Proper Usage
Of Public Places.

The mental makeup Of men and
women who scatter papers along the
highroads, who trample down growing
crops, who break down farmers
fences, and who are responsible fol
surrounding our woodland streams
with headwOrk Of tomato cans Is
quite easy to understand. Such peo-
pie are merely primitive indvidualists.
They have not yet advanced in civil
cation to point where they can
visualize the property rights Of others.
There Is another group Of Wayfar-
ers which, though allied closely to the
first, we both dislike and cannot I'M
derstand This is the group which
not only scatters refuse over private
lands, but also lea\hs trail, which
he who runs may read, over the land
belonging to cities. states and the ma
ton. A public park, whether 1t be
but triangle Of grass at the inter-
section Of three village streets, or
rolling meadow land set down In the
heart Of great city, or forest re-
serve of hundred thousand acres Of
The national domain, is property to
which each and every one Of us has
an inaliennble right. TO scatter trash
ovpr bit Of green in the heart OF
city or to slash Off the top Of a pine
tree in a national park Is to damage
part of the common land to which
every citizen is heir.
We can understand how man can
disregard the rights of neighbor,
hut 1t Is not so easy to understand
how man can destroy the beauty
of land which Is his own and his
children'S. If we are to continue to
build parks in our cities and set aside
wildernesSeS for our recreation, we
must also build up, in the mind and
heart Of every citizen q spirit Of Jeal-
ousy for the beauty Of these green
places.
Perhaps the present generation OF
Americans is already past the cure,
but there Is another generation Of
citizens in the making, and, If we
are wise, we will 90 for them what

The House and Its Site.

Most houses should appear to have
some connection with the surround
Ing landscape and should be built Of
some suitable material. Stone, brick,
marble or wood may each be inap-
propriate to some surroundings. Have
you not seen, perhaps, a white marble
house situated where brown wooden
one should be built? Or white garden
furniture placed on lawn where the
, house was finished in tones Of brown?
These scattered white spots produce
very unpleasant sensation. Geog-
raphy plays an important part in tho
color and material Of a house.

a little old man with little old wife

"They lived very happily there to-

great fne-looking man who said to the
dog:
"'Follow me and will give you fine
bones and you will live in riches.
"'You will noe be poor as you
now are, but you will be fed with the
finest Of bones and everything else
that you can DESIRE
"The dog was very hungry then and
: the word bones made him dream OF
a glorious life ahead.
$50 he followed the man, and the
little old man and the little old woman
we're very sad.
= But after u few weeks had gone
by the dog came back and he licked
the face of the little old man and OF
the little old woman, and he said In
his dog way:
~ got bones and fine food, but ]
couldn't get the love that had here,
and that is more important than any
thing else in the world, for bones are
eaten, and one can have enough OF
them, but love can't be eaten, and one
can never have enough of it,
"And from then on the little old
man and the little old woman and the
dog lived happily together again. and
never again did sadness come to the
little hut"

When the Indian Ruled.

For generations before the white
man came the Mississippi river was
the dividing line between two great
families Of Indians, each including
many tribes. The Sioux or DakOtas,
who included the Missouris the Otoes,
the Kansas, the Iowas, the Osages,
The Winnebagoes and many others
were settled west Of the Mississippi
river to the Rocky mountains, north
Of the Arkansas river to British Amer
lea and west of Pecos river. The
tribes of the Algonquins held all New
England, the northern states east of
the Mississippi and all of Canada.
The Algorquins also were called Ojib-
was, Chippewas or Delawares. Among
the hundreds Of tribes included in
this family were the Sacs and Foxes,
the Pottawatcmies, the SEaW2ccs and
the Kickapoos.
