The Monroe Journal
CHICKENS AND OXENs

The Journal has had on its desk
FOR several days an article from a
feminine citizen who writes about
Cars, Chickens and Religion.
IL is a very interesting article, but
alas. the writer has given no ind.ea-
tion as to her identity. and that is
why she is perhaps wondering why
her article has not been printed.
Most newspapers have troubles
enough from what they write them
selves and hence none will take upon
themselves the burdens which might
arise from printing an anonymous ar
,icle. The paper prints articles with
out the signature Of the writers often
but never unless the name Of the
writer is given to the paper in conf
dence and as pledge Of good faith,
Our correspondent who tells about
The imposition of a religious aeighbor
who turns her chickens upon the
neighhorhood is perhaps no: aware Of
the rule. bu. no doubt needs counsel
and advice. Striving always to please,
We therefore otgeer such as we have.
So far as we know there is nothing
in the Bible abou: chickens, especially
those which tear up the neighbor's
garden. But there is something about
the man who permits his OK 10 COM
nit depredations: +,
Ii an OK gore man or woman that
they die. then the OK shall surely be
stoned. and his flesh shall not be
eaten. But the owner of the OK shall
be quit.
But if the OK were wont to push
his horn in time past, and 1t hath
been test fled to its owner, and he
hath not kept him in, but he hath
killed man or a women, the OK shall
be stoned. and his owner shall also
be put TO death.
Ii there be laid upon him a sum Of
money, then he shall give for the ran
som of his life, whatsoever is laid
upon him.
BY analogy, we would say that if
the neighbours chickens eat up ones
garden before the neighbor has been
warned that one has a garden, it
would be right for one to slay the
chickens, but not to eat them or cause
hubby to eat them, which our cores
pondent seems to have done,
Or. if the neighbor hath let her
chickens out after their bad character
had been duly testified to their owner,
then they may also be killed and the
neighbor also. But whether they may
be eaten under such circumstances we
know not.
But since il has become rather bad
form to kill neighbor in these days,
we would counsel that, in lieu of her
l,fe. the said neighbor should be al
lowed to pay sum in ransom there
Of, say about the number of sheckels
that would be necessary to replace the
damage to the garden and flowers,
ard somewhat more by way of puni-
tive effect, which even the modern
courts allow.
As to Cars, we find no mention
OF them. VII lie as to religion, that
is another story upon which it doth
not become heather to discourse.

DID SEEM LIKE A PROBLEM
No Wonder Small Boy Was Disguised
When He Saw What His
Chum's Gift Was.

Mysterious things were happening
around the house. An addition to the
census report of Indianapolis was
expected, but Little Sonny didn't un-
derstand.
Were going to have something
you'll love- the mother said.
You're going to be uckled to death
with It," the father said.
Little Sonny didn't understand at
all, In fact he was so mystified that
he told his little pal next door about
1t.
whatever you get you've got to
divide" the interested pal insisted.
"Sure 1 wiu,' said the generous
Sonny.
when the baby finally came Little
Sonny and his pal were ushered in
for the first visit.
"A fine chance you've got to divide
that thing" the pal said disgustedly,

Bertrand served as an infantryman
in the French army from the beginning
of the war to its close. He was wound
ed several times and severely gassed,
and his company was replaced with
fresh drafts on thirty different oc
casions, so disseminated was it in the
fierce engagements into which it was
thrown. The senator likewise is head
of the French veteran society made
up exclusively of men wounded in ac-
tiOn.
In the formation of the inter-allied
veterans association, Bertrand has
made frequent trips to Italy, England,
Roumania and other allied countries.
On his first trip to the United States
he was the only civilian in the dis

TURNED IT BACK TO BAKER
Chinese Dairy Farmer Had Good Ex-
cuse for Selling His Product
Without Using Scales.

dairy farmer living in a small
town was recently summoned to ap
pear before the local magistrate on a
charge OF selling butter under weight
The complainant was the village
baker, who felt he was being wronged
when he discovered that every pound
OF the farmers butter fell below the
weight that pound ought to be.
Have you pair of scales7' asked
the magistrate Of the farmer.
"Yes, your honor"
"And weightsY
mo, your honor, | have no weights +"
You have no weights! How, then,
can you weigh your butter?"
THAT Is very simple, your honor
Since the baker has bought his butter
from me, | buy my bread from him,
and his one-pOund loaves serve me as
weights to weigh my butter. II the
butter does not weigh what it should,

SCHEMES TO COLLECT DUES
Novel Methods Are Being Employed
to Induce Legion Members to
Pay 1922 Assessment.

Novel means employed by American
Legion posts to get in membership
dues early In 1922 are causing com
ment in every community where n
post is located, according to reports
TO Legion national headquarters in In
dianapolis.
Around the top of the list is the
story from South Dakota A post Is
offering each service men who pays
his dues before set date q biscuit
baked by the newest bride in the
post women's auxiliary. Three of the
biscuits being distributed contain
cash prizes in coin-$2O,, $40 and $5
In gold. The biscuits may not be
broken open until the night Of the post
banquet when they will serve as cards
of admission. Early recipients of bis
cults declared they could not Judge
from their weight whether they con-
tanned gold pieces or bricks.
Out in Kansas a post gave its
finance officer carte blanche In collect
ing 1922 dues early. A few mornings
later Legionnaires were being routed
out of bed at a. m. by members Of
the committee who refused to let the
slumberer go back to bed until he had
paid up. The various state depart
ments of the Legion are In a hot con-
test for the honor Of being the first
to send in the complete dues of the
membership.

Gov. Hartness was very happy

to pose as the handsomest one

SHERBROOKE
IS BEATEN
BY AUGUSTA
Canadian Team Suffers
Z to ! Set Back at
Newport

The exhibition game of base ball
between the Augusta "million"
dollar team" and the Sherbrooke
nine was played yesterday after
noon in Newport resulting in a
victory for Augusta by the score
Of 7 to 1, Witty, the St. Johns
bury twirler was twirling for
Sherbrookc.
A heavy down pour of rain dur
ing the forenoon and threatening
weather until one O'Clock was ev-
identity the reason for so many
of the fans failing to witness one
of the fastest games played on
Gaines Park this season.
Although the game was advcr-
tised for 3 o'clock, it was not call
Cd until $50. Both teams gave a
show of real fielding in the prac-
tice before the game. What the
crowd lacked in numbers was
made up in enthusiasm.
The boys from Sherbrooke were
heartened by the presence of
about 30 loyal fans who came by
auto, and they certainly we're
royal rooters considering the
way the game started in, not to
have given up hope of winning
out
The coin was tossed and Shcr-
brooke elected to take the field.
Witty, on whom his team felt so
much confidence, was now facing
the heaviest hitters he had run up
against this season
Fitzpatrick the first batter up
did not see the first pitched ball,
it went over the plate smoking but
too high. The neXt--a change OF
pace and d wide curVe-kilpat-
rick drove to Savage's territory
the ball going through his hands.
Fitzpatrick stole second on a short
pass. Murray sacrificed Kennison
to r. jenkins. Bedouin hit safe
to center, Fitzpatrick scoring.
Leavitt followed with d hit scor-
ing Bedouin. This was followed
by a two base hit scoring Leavitt
before the side was retired Deljsic
was the first man to face the
speedy Augusta pitcher but he
also had other things besides
