SQUATTERS CHASED ].
 OFF OHIO PROPERTY

AKRON, Nov. 24. - Squatter soy- ereignty has no meaning in the ac- tivities of the State Highway De partment. Agents are busy busting squatters from their cherished homes on the towpath along the old Ohio Canal. There are about thirty five houses in the neighborhood of Bar berton, constructed of tin cans, scrap metal and old lumber, occu- pied by workingmen and their fam flies. Most of them work in Barber ton factories and paddle across the canal in the morning and back at night.
 As the dwellers are mainly tran sients, trouble was expected by the Highway Department when the ex- odus was projected. However, the squatters are submitting stolidly to the ejectment proceedings, which are intended to free state property

STATES AFTER TAXES
 BOOZE CRAFT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Tax-evad- ing bootleggers, who have amassed wealth selling Illicit booze, are being rounded up in one of the most per sistent drives ever begun by the In ternal Revenue Bureau The govern ment is shy many millions of dollars in revenue because bootleggers have failed to make returns showing their income.
 A new system devised by the bu- reau has put the government on the tracks of tax dodgers of this class The Big Four" and other similarly designated cliques that have a mon- opoly on the booze supply and distri- button in the larger cities, are being caught rapidly through information supplied by prohibition agents.
 In one large city discovery was made that the chief of police, city councilmen and other dignitaries were active members of the bootleg combin- ation. Examination of their bank ac- counts disclosed fabulous sums ac- cumulated suddenly from liquor prof its. Investigation shows that in prac- tically every case these taxpayers failed to account for their income from liquor sources.
 r Records seized by prohibition agents all over the country have led to sensational discoveries involving high officials. They are actively par ticipating in the profits on big deals In many cities, prohibition officials declared, local officials round up certain stipulated rake off on all liquor transactions.
 One of the so-called kings of boot leggers. who made a phenomenal rise as financier, has been discovered with possible indebtedness to the government so large that almost his entire fortune may be wiped out if the government collects all of the pen alties and taxes assessed against him. In this case his liability has been null -tiplied many times through the past two years by failure to report his true income, for falsifying his tax statement, and withholding taxes on liuuor made and sold
 In it's pursuit of the tax evaders in bootleg ranks the Internal Revenue Bureau in skipping on the maximum penalties. These are very severe.

Something TO

EXERCISING THE WILL
By r. II. WALKER

NOTHING is more fatal to growth
~ Of viii than that form of indo'
lence which shrinks from trial and exs

The person who is confronted by Il
new perplexity, loses his or her self
shall | DO" is not destined to go very
far afield in the creation of song or
story or In the crafts.
He must, like boats, keep near the
shore ana be ever ready TO scud into
the harbor.
All the achievements In the arts and
sciences result from exercising an in
diyidual viii and Strengthening it in
difficult situations.
The practice of doing things habit
ually. as bookkeeper adds a column
of figures or a typist rattles off a
routine letter, Increases speed and
contributes a certain quality rf eff

of means improve the volitional power.
No new or original force is brought
into play.
The mind functions from habit with
out any strain, unconscious Of eXer-
ton. Mere habit is the impelling
power which IL persisted in for long
time weakens the will and eventually
retards progress and originality.
The men and women who rise TO
the heights are those who every day
exercise their will-power in new
spheres. In their self-appointed occu-
patrons they call up their reserve
strength, whip their brains TO faster
gait and discipline their resolution.
They think and act for themselves,
master their own problems by per-
severance and mount step by step to
places where rewards are largest and
honors are unblemished.
They early learned how to depend
on themselves by reasoning and using
their judgment. They dug down to
basic principles and discovered the
why's and wherefores."
Then followed a robustness and an

And this high-powered will Is avail

This special exercise of the intellect

O wonderful pace without wearying in

If you would test this to your own
satisfaction and advantage, try it for

time how you have improved in men

She did not ask him not TO make
il colder by coming down from his
home up in Northland. She asked
him to come. that very night and paint

Then she ran 10 another home
where the people had plenty and 10

into their hearts and nestled so close
that the man put ON his fur coat and
while the children slept he came with
a basket of food and left il at their

Tie next morning while Mary and
Johnny were just opening their eyes
there came man with big load of
wood and coal which the same nice
man had ordered who brought the
food for you see it was nj his house
that the mother OF Mary and Johnny
worked every day.
You See Johnny, that all we played

did not let mother know we We're

WHY -
AZ x = -
DO WE SPEAK OF A -
PoRTERHousE STEAK?&s

MANY authorities have attempted
AVA to trace the origin of this name
FOR the succulent cut Of beef TO man
named Porter who is supposed to have
maintained a restaurant in the lower
part of New York city. But the real
reason for the term was because, in
the early part of the last century,
there existed in New York a number
of public houses where ale and porter
were the fayorite beverages ordered,
These taverns or. saloons came TO be
known as ''porter-houseS.
The proprietor of one of these estab-
lishments. receiving a hurry call for Il
particularly tender and appetizing
steak. made the experiment of cutting
the top off a roast which had been
sent in for his personal use. The Gus
toner was so pleased that he called
back n day or two later and demanded
another Of those steaks, adding that
he had never tasted one before he
came to this particular porter-house.
The fame of the tavern and its steak
soon spread and it was not long be-
fore epicures throughout the city were
asking for .porter-house steak" end
butchers. learning the secret OF tie
cut, adopted the term themselves.

DON'T NEEDLE

THERE may be somewhere in the
- world man who can run his
neighbours business as well as his own.
but we doubt if you ever met him.
There may be "a woman who can
successfully raise her own children
and keep her own house, and at the
same time be profoundly interested
i'm the way her next-door neighbor
raises her children and keeps her
house, but If there is such a woman
she has managed TO keep herself
pretty Well hidden.
Your neighbours affairs are interest
Ing, of course. Their mistakes, which
are very many. are deplorable. The
way they treat their children, the way
they let their dog bark all night, the
reckless manner in which they drive
their ear are all things which ought
TO he betterad
You could better them, of course.
But the moment you begin TO better
them, your affairs will be neglected.
You will find. as YOU go through this
world. many men and many women
and many methods that you do not APP
prove of.
You probably won't like the girl
your neighbours son is going TO marry
and will feel that you ought to talk TO
him about her
Don't do if. He will misunderstood
you. and may thrash you for it.
You doubtless think your neighbor
is to blame because all the servants
leave her as fast as they are hired.
Probably she is to blame. But you
won't get any gratitude for showing
her why She is to blame People are
unreasonable" about things like that.
Your neighhor may get down TO
work too late in the morning and get
home too early at night. You may feel
that he is neglecting his work, and is
in a fair way TO get fired because of Il.
But it would he a mistake to tell
him so. Perhaps he can afford TO keep
easy hours. Perhaps he makes them
UP by working at night. You don't
always have all the facts on which TO
base your opinion of him.
Your neighbors. you will find, will
get along about as they have been do
Ing whether you help them or not. And
they won't be nj all pleased at your
assistance.
Furthermore. You viii be so busy
giving this assistance that your own
affairs will get in a mess. And when
they do. you will be insulted if your
neighbors tell You you ought to have
spent more time attending to them.

THE FLAT OWNERS FATE

A RICH man built Il row OF flats,
a All modern and complete;
A velvet lawn stretched out In front
Along the noisy street.
And then he tackled sign up high
Above the passing crowd:
"These handsome. modern flats for
rent
No children are allowed"
He garnerod rents in golden store
And riches high he piled,
The while the echoes never rang
With laughter OF "A child.
No childish feet went pitty-pat
Adown the marble halls;
The gloomy corridors ne'er rang
With children's happy calls.
The rich man died. as all men must,
And ncarcd st. Peters gate,
And DER the golden arch he saw
The words that sealed his fate.
The words he saw were writ In flame,
And scared his hard heart well:
"This place IS full Of little ones
You'll have to 90 below"

PATTY

popularity supposed. but comes, curl
ously enough, from Martha. For that
reason it means becoming bitter des-

Patty has certain sacred signifi-

Martha who was one Of the sisters
of Bethany. 1t was she who Is said
to have destroyed by the sheer power
Of her faith ire-breathing dragon
which attacked her family while thG0
were on a pilgrimage. Although sh
is popularity supposed to have been
the sister of Mary Magdalen, there
is some doubt among historians on
this score.
But however it may be. Martha was
the fOrerunDer Of Patty and gives TO
the latter name, not only "A religious

THE WILD FLOWERS

GAVE the wild flowers.
~ Slowly, but surely, many of the
most beautiful species of blooms are
disappearing Constantly those who
love them c;relessly pail them up by
the roots, or the uncaring destroy them
with little less than criminal intent.
Virtually nothing is being done to give
them heightened lives.
Yet there are thousands who find
some OF the greatest pleasure in
tramping through the woods and fields
and viewing the fragrant beauties in
their native haunts. God was kind in
giving us SO many varieties TO en-
nance the landscape and make the
world more beautiful. And those who
love the wildflowers would be remiss
in their duty to themselves and their
fellows if they did not use every pos
sibie influence to have the floral spe-
Cies preserved.
Some may contend that nothing Of
material value is to be gained by ex-
ertions designed to prevent the flowers
from being wiped out. They are wrong.
Aside from the purely esthetic side
of such work. it is of great Importance
to the education of the children who
come after us. But of still greater i'm
portance is the influence the flowers
viii have on the lives Of the people.
No one can look upon things which
are beautiful without feeling more
happy, or without higher apprecia-
ton of Gods greatness and recogniz-
ing that man is small. No one can
spend part of his time admiring the
flowers and breathing their fragrance
without experiencing a thrill of en-
ioynent or without thinking better
thoughts and feeling a desire TO make
his own work more nearly perfect.
We. therefore, should be more thank
full for the millions of blossoms so
frequently trampled underfoot, and
there should be greater effort to keep
them blooming along all pathways.
A movement TO preserve the species
of wildflowers is taking practical form
in one of the big cities of the United
States. Through the influence of ma
ture lovers. park officials have set
aside part of one OF the public parks
for a wildf1ower preserve.
Every community would assure
greater happiness for its people b.
protecting these beautiful works Of
God.
