TEST CHARRED FENCE POSTS
to Iowa State College For esters Layer of Charcoal Is of
 Small Benefit

Tests carried on by Iowa State col lege foresters with fence posts that have been charred before placing them in the ground shows that these posts do not last a great deal longer than those uncharred. Although the char ring places surface of charcoal on the post which is not pleasant for in- sects to penetrate, the post is de- stroyed and weakened so that the out come in the end is doubtful.
 AS Guaranteed.
 MT. Henry Carr-You guaranteed that the engine of this used car would develop 60 horsepower. Look it over.
 Dealer-The 60 horsepower is all there only they appear to be pulling tn opposite directions.

THE FINGER NAILS

RINGER nails that are unusually A broad and long, show a disposition that is uncertain and inconsistent and subject to bodily ailments. It is also held by some authorities that the pos sessors of such nails are in danger of being influenced too greatly by the op- poSite sex
 If the nails are long. but not too ,ong, and properly proportioned, they are an indication of a Well-halanced nature of course this indication must Ge read in conjunction with other signs in the hand But, speaking generally, he possession of such nails means a nature that is affahle. agreeable, trust iul. but not too confidng. These pco- ple will from youth understand de- ceitful purposes says one authority.
 Small. crooked nails or nails that are bent at the point, or apex, show ambition, courage and high spirits. Naturally, such natures are apt to be self-willed and impatient 1f contra dlction or opposition.

ABOUT OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Are we going to sit idly by and wait for another crisis? It will re- quire all the time from now until time to begin the next school for public sentiment to agree to a plan so the directors can voice the senti- ment of the patrons. The merchants and customers as whole do not fla vor the penny tax. l believe we are all agreed that it is the best plan to an end, but we want to make sure 1t has an end,
 l think we all agree that the pub lie school should continue. With this end in view we should devise the some plan that will enlist the support, in cool hour, of about all of us. It seems to me that the word stan dardize should be aired. Something on this line appeals to me. The school board should say We will have so much money to run our school and no more. Then careful survey shuld be made of every salary from superintendent to janitor. Some of the grades might be dropped, some of the transfers may want looking after and on and on. My income is cut more than half and more taxes do not apeal to me. Our school debts must be paid. The successful school must enjoy the confidence and the credit of banks just the same as individuals. The schools of our land are doomed to business or failure

Cow In a China Shop.

Mention of bull in china shop suggests destruction swift and com- plete, but COW spent quarter of an hour in china shop in the main street of Tipperary without breaking or up- setting a single article. Entering the shop while the owner was absent, it went behind the counter and then passed into a room at the back. Turn ing round. 1t reentered the shop on the outside of the counter and, treading carefully, left without doing the slight est damage, to the great surprise of the crowd outside.-London Daily Mail.

THE SUNDAY TEA

WITHIN the last few years the
 custom of tea serving on Sunday afternoon has been growing, especially in the large cities or city suburbs. Usually these teas are informal and there are no special invitations for them perhaps that is why they have proved so popular If you are out Sunday afternoon, drop in and have cup of tea with us /; the Joneses will probably be around" That is about all there is to the usual invitation. And you go and the JoneSes are there and some interesting people whom you have never met and there is perhaps a little music and if it is a warm day all will stroll through the garden and you go home feeling that you are much better off because of this little "tea party"
 To be sure there are some persons who would feel that this sort of thing was not quite in keeping with the spirit of Sunday and those people you would of course not invite to have tea with you on that afternoon, though the chances are that those very people would accept an invitation to go motoring on that day or would have dinner at a hotel in order to tighten their own household cares.
 Easter day, like other festive days, is with many people a day when they like to see their friends and exchange the seasons greetings and for that reason the Easter Sunday afternoon tea is looked upon with favor among such persons. Whatever may be your own attitude toward dancing on Sun day among most Americans there is still prejudice against it, as there is against the playing of the "noiSier" sort of dance music. This is not really so much matter of religious principle with good many people but one of respect for time hOnOred GUS tom.
 one thing that especially recom- mendS these little Sunday social gatherings is that since most American men regard it as a normal state of affairs to have to work for six days in the week Sunday is the only time when we can have an afternoon party that is attended by both men and women.

LAUGHING THE MARRIAGE

"Fred-not-not here"
: BY ZOE

"Fred-not-not here"
And why not here" laughed
Fred. "Nothing's too good for my
girl"
How could she find words to tell
him this was not good enough? A
vision of a sweet, white cottage and
a garden shot through her mind,
but Connie held her peace.
They were whisked to the ninth
floor and the superintendent flung
open the door of a three loom suite,
small but exceedingly modern, down
to the last self refrigerating icebox
and the nook outside the kitchsnet
window to hold the garbage pail.
Look at that view. Con. old dar-
ling! You a see Broadway from
this angle. And you sure can hear 1t!
Listen to those horns-the voice OF
a big city. singing. Ell. what, dear?
And look at this-and this"

ture at the shower in the bathroom,
the glass towel racks, the "bulltin"
soap dishes, the excess Of mirrors.
Connie regarded it all with a
stiffly set smile. Before the we'll
dressed superintendent, IN the face
of Fred's enthusiasm, she had not
courage to express herself.
But at mention of the rent, she
uttered an involuntary cry:
why, Fred--it's more than a 10
room house at home!"
Maybe, but" Fred caught the
slight twitch of the superintendent
lips; he hated being known for a
"hick" with his country bride. He
led Connie aside.
Never mind the rent; we're not
pikering here. I'm going to make
good and the money will Come. How
do you like it-great, hey?"
Not W. to avert the horrible
specter OF her first quarrel with
Fred-a fatal one perhaps could

"WhOoping Cough Risk"
Most people think whooping
cough is a mild disease which all
children must have.
Ask any physician whether it's a
mild disease. He'll tell you that its
consequences are serious and far
reaching in many cases. He will
warn o to keep children who have
not had the disease from exposure
to it..
Whooping cough is very copta-
gious and the infection is most vIru-
lent In the earlier stages of the dis
| case before the characteristic whoop
becomes noticeable.
As Is well known. whooEing
cough begins with the symptoms of
an ordinary severe cold-sneezing,
coughing and watering of the eyes.
1t Is then that it is most contagious.
True, 1t generally is impossible to
know it from an ordinary cold, but
in any case it is undesirable TO be
exposed to it. for colds are con
tagious, too.
Not only the actual deaths from
whooping cough are to be feared
