News of the Contest


he great whiskers contest is on
tilt. Brooklyn man started it
IN with a, beard six feet in length
raised the squawk that he had
longest whiskers' in the United
ties, and would meet all corners.
+. j. Tanner of Brighton, Mich,
Med the allegation and defied the
igator. He dragged an even nine
ct of lace curtains from beneath
vest and waved them at the world
defiance. For a day or two he
cid the championship and was given
4 banquet by admiring friends. Mr..
Tanner sat in his chair and the whisk-
ers were passed rom hand to hand up
and down the long table and COM
mented upon
Then by some misfortune, John
Wilcox of Carson City, New, heard of
the ridiculous pretensions of Mr.. Tan
ner and unwound from about his
waist IL feet 8 inches Of the most
luxuriant facial alfalfa and gave Mr..
Tanner a loud boot and couple of
oh-poohs. Mr.. Tanner retired from
the race deeply Inundated.
At the moment of going to press
Mr. Wilcox holds the championship,
and, like Dempsey, for the nonce can
find no worthy opponent, but within
O short time some unknown will prob
ably bob Up and hand Mr.. wilcox
the K, o.
It is only fair to the present champ
to say that up to a month ago his
whiskers were IA feet long, but when
they were washed and combed out
they were reduced to their present
length, the depreciation in whiskers
being consid cradle.
When Mr.. Wi1cox's whiskers were
combed out or the first time in years
the prospectors found three wire
dishrags, a half peck Of hard boiled
eggshells, three baseballs, a silk hat,
two lawnmowers, twenty-seven golf
balls, a soapstone pancake griddle,
three bushels of chicken bones, two
photograph records and an old copy
Of Bryan's book on free silver.
Excitement for the championship
of the bush league is at fever heat,
and we believe it is q sport that
should be encouraged.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am boy
of nineteen years 1 have sister
who is seventeen. This sister is go
ing with a, boy who has a bad repu-
ration. Whcr I tell her that he has
a bad reputation she won't listen or
says she doesn't care. Our family is
in disgrace because she goes with
him. Every member of the family
has tried to persuade her not to go
with him. but she won't listen. What
would advise US to do? This wor-
ries us night and day.

Since you feel that you have done
every possible thing to persuade
your sister that she should not go
with the young man, the only course
left for yon is to accept her decision
and stand by her no matter what may
happen Some children grow up
without being taught discipline and
when they reach the age of sixteen or
seventeen they are found self-wflled
and unmanagea BILE; such seems to
be the case with your sister.
am not so sure that your sister
is wrong. When every one else sees
the bad in the boy she has discovered
the good and she cares so much for
him that in spite of what people think
! she wants him as her friend.
would advise that she be permitted
to entertain him in the home where
he is welcomed by the whole family.
You can be an influence of good in

and it is by no means hopeless for
him to develop a good character if
he is encouraged by good friends
Stop talking about the boys bad

IN THE STONE AGE
The o1d-time cliff apartments were
more quiet than our own,
They had no pianola nor night-prowl-
ing gramophone.
No amateur grand opera stars sang
songs into the night,
And authors with typewriters didn't
pound with all their might.
And If perchance some roysterer
should come home with a spiff
Some caveman would get out of bed
and push him off the cliff.
And If some Romeo should play sweet
ballads on a lutte
They'd smite him with a bowlder that
was large and round and cute.
The bill collector in those days no
tingling doorbells rang,
The caveman pulled the ladder up
and told him to go hang.
And when the caveman wanted any
fiat upon his shelf
He went and threw the tenants out
and took it for himself.
How different, how different, oh. fell
low dem ocrats,
With us poor geezers who must live in
modern city flats.
Cheer-up Notes: We are going to
have q cold, clammy summer. We
know this because most of the prop
bets are predicting extreme heat.
We have never seen a fight between
theater ticket scalper and a taHicab
driver. but we believe it would be
worth while.

NATIONAL WEALTH

DR.. Wesley C. Mitchell, head of the
National Bureau Of Economic Re-
search, has recently compiled some
interesting statistics on the nations
wealth. II aggregate wealth is taken
as the measure of a sections prosper.
ity, then the Middle Atlantic states
are the most prosperous. They have
the largest amount of liquid cash Of
any section in the country. New York
leads them with an income OF more
than 80 100000
But II prosperity is measured by In
dividual wealth or the per capita dis
tribution of a sections riches, then
the Pacific states have the east states
beaten by comfortable margin--$796
as compared with $673. Even under
this method New York state retains
its lead, with a per capita income Of
sS74.
Liquid cash Is a fine thing for any
individual or family or community to
have plenty Off 1t is put to real use.
But in rejoicing over its wealth. no
section can afford to forget that the
health, happiness, education and de-
cency of its people are OF more lasting
and vital Importance than the number
of dollars on hand.

THANKSGIVING REFLECTIONS

Some incorrigibie statistician has
figured that If all the mince pies eat.
en- on Thanksgiving were one pie, that
pie would be "a feet high and 400 feet
wide, and that If all the THANKSGIVING
turkeys were one turkey, the grand
old bird would raise his head 80 feet
higher than the Statue Of Liberty in
New York Earbor.
Also, ii might be added, IL all the
stomach-aches following Thanksgiving
dinner were combined in one supreme
ache, it would be such an ache as
found expression in the recent Chilean
earthquake.
1t might be congenial occupation,
too, for a long winter evening, to de.
termine the size of the monument to
the Pilgrim Fathers that might be
constructed of the soda mint tablets
administered after the meal
Giving thanks always was some
what painful process.

NEW IMMIGRANT TESTS

Secretary of Labor Davis wants the
passport laws governing the selection
OF immigrants changed or expanded.
He has prepared n bill for submission
to congress which provides that immi.
grants be given blood. physical, men.
tai and character tests before they are
allowed to embark for this country.
The three per cent restriction helps
to reduce the quantity OF immigration.
IT. makes very little provision for
improving the quality. Such desirable
ity tests as are required are given
mostly after the immigrant reaches
this country II this were done at the
ports of embarkation, everybody
would be better off
As for the thorough scrutiny sug-
gestcd. every point is good. II immi.
grants OF clean blood, sound body.
mind and character can be assured,
the arbitrary restriction OF numbers
will be less vital. while the process
of elimination through tho tests will
help automatically to keep numbers
down to safe margin.
