Honest Peanuts

BY ARTHUR BROOKS BAKER.
The peanut is a plant whose fruit is
full OF pleasant JUNCTION.
It plays a leading part in any demo-
cratic function.
Wherever commOners indulge in
joys OF mastication.
1t furnishes delightful, inexpensive
exaltation.
Unlike the soda fountains flow. so
f1zzy and so tickle,
The peanut tries its level best to earn
its total nickel.
In spite Of all the picnic bands tri-
umphant and terrific,
In spite Of tariff speeches deep and
dull and scientific,
In spite Of lemonade COMPOSED Of
highly colored aqua,
In spite of all the singers and per-
formers Of Chautauqua,
We'd say This things an awful
frost!" and we should truly
mean It,
Excepting for the saving grace In
herent in the peanut.
The peanut gives young sproutinE
love a fighting chance to
flourish:
It's highly sentimental, but can also
feed and nOurish.
1t helps the gallery be gay although
the show is rotten;
II braces bashful hearts in ways
that cannot be forgotten.
SO let us all sincerely sing the praises
Of the tUber,
That dear. delightful. entertaining.
jolly, juicy goober.

Editor. News-Times:
1 read with some degree Of inter
est your first page news item Eom
WinOna Lake regarding a demand
for Blue Sunday" in connection
with the Presbyterian general assem-
bly, now in session there. I shall
appreciate the privilege Of submit
ting a few observations on the sub
ject Of enforced Sunday observance
by civil law. First, let me say with
all due respect, the information from
Winona Lake varies from the usual
assurances gwen out by the Lord :
Day alliance and other kindred or
CARNATIONS that no attempt is de-
signed to legislate people into the
habit Of church-going on Sunday.
Mr.. Bowlby, secretary Of the alliance
is on record as saying that there are
no such things as Sunday Blue Laws
and never were; and yet in the
news from Winona Lake we read
that Or. Bowlby expressed the
view that the Blue Sunday would
come" Moreover, it is stated there
in by DR.. Bowlby, "Close up the NOV
lie theater. shut the gates OF the ball
park, lock the doors OF many places
OF business. and this paramount
problem Of the churches will be well
on its way 10 solution" All OF
which proves exactly what has been
said many times by patriotic Ameri-
can citizens. namely. that the church
wants the aid Of the civil govern
ment 10 make men and women ap-
parently religious. in the hope, Of
course, that the Christian life Will
follow the civil form.
Next. permit me 70 say that Il Is
high time that the moulders Of pub
lie opinion, the watchmen on the
walls Of Americanism. should cry
out against the attempt 70 change
the form OF our government and
commit II 20 religious legislation
the attempt has been n evidence al
most from thu founding OF this ma
ton. Some one should also say very
definitely that Il Is not the business
OF the state ID make Sabbath keep
ers or Sunday keepers OF its body
polite. Sunday observance Is pure
y an ecclesiastical regulation and
belongs TO the church and not 10 the
state.
I hold no brief IN favor OF the
moving picture theater. but I sin
cerely believe that n the church will
keep its people away from the NOV
les, the eolution OF the Sunday
amusements problem Will be in
sight.

The cow Is a kind hearted
animal that gives US milk, but
ter, cheese, steaks and shoes.
In return, she is allowed to
manicure the meadows, eating
the tall grasses and the sweet
little butter cups. Being a COW
is very pleasant occupation,
and. while you and l might find
It difficult, # IS very easy for
COW. But the COW hasn't got It
as nice now as in former times.
Today she is MIXED by bearded
men and automatic machinery.
where in former times she could
loaf under the shady trees and
be deprived OF her milk by
pretty maids whose presence
was a benedictiOn and whose
touch was d balm.
Cows are very useful, very. They
grow a calloused cuticle to protec
our bunions from the atmosphere
and in the fall they eat the ole
straw hats which we would have q
wear otherwise. They are also in
directly responsible for cheese. IL
this. the COW shows her wisdom and
discretion. No sensible animal woulC
be directly responsible for the drat
ted stuff.
Cows children are called
calves when alive and veals
when deceased. Calves are
noted for the veal chops they
develop. II is a preculiar fact
that the calf Is the only animal
that can grow veal chops.
Calves resemble their mothers in
that they have a leg on each cor
ner and the usual number OF
ewes. ears. noses. etc. but other
wise they're plumb crazy. Their
idea OF "A wonderful time is run
ming all over the place until
they're exhausted. IN that, they
remind one quite fOrcibly OF the
young Of the human race.
Cows have only one set OF teeth
and instead OF chewing up and
down. they chew sideways. They
are not satisfied 10 chew their food
only once. but they are continually
barking back 20 the same subject
In fact. the cow seems 10 take a
peculiar pleasure IN nagging heI
food.
Painters who think cows give
condensed milk usually paint
her with a tail that sweeps the
ground. But first. last and al
most always, standing as I do
for artistic verisimiiitude. I wish
10 set these artists TO rights. A

Reflections Of
a Bachelor Girl


When a man sees the Iove-lfeht
dawning in a woman's eyes it gives
wings TO his spirit-and sometimes
seven-league boots to his feet.
a woman is a cipher-code. who
loses all that fascinating mystery for
a man, as soon as he has learned the
key TO her moods and lenses, by
heart.
Mans woman: The kind whom
women first suspect. then gossip
about. then envy. then initiate.
The sight of powder on his coat
lapel makes a callow youth brag. a
bachelor blush. and a married man
tremble
Every man will admit that he has
ideals; but. somehow. when you
ask him what they are, he always
begins talking about the color Of
your eyes. the moonlight on your
hair. or the curl Of your eyelashes-
thereby proving that the average
mans ideals are not much over five
feet high.
Don't marry a man with an cratic
past. in the hope that it will insure
his a pure and spotless future. A
little exercise may harden the mus
cles OF the heart. but too much Of il
merely takes away their powers Of
resistance.
Poor man, He is never safe. As
soon as women cease 10 tempt his
emotions. the flesh-pots Of the table
begin 20 tempt his appetite. AS soon
as he stops worrying about his heart,
he begins worrying about his waist
line.
