Ripping Rhymes
MORAL SUASION
BY Walt Mason

James Baxter Twigg drank lemon
pop, prUnecrush and onionade, and
other deadly kinds Of slop, or drugs
and dyestuffs made; l felt that if be
didn't stop they'd plant him with a
spade. And people roasted ]. B. Twigg,
they climbed him every day, they said
he was a blooming pig to drink that
sort of whey; they jawed him till his
sorrel wig soon changed to wintry gray.
Oh, now and then we see a gent with
stubborness endowed; he is so built
he will resent the preaching of the
crowd; though in his head we make a
dent, that head is still unbowed. 1
thought it wasn't strictly wise to roast
James Baxter Twigg, for there was
brooding in his eyes spirit strong and
big, the soul of one who faints and
dies before he quits the jig. And so l
said to him, "Oh, James, your neigh
bors make you sore, and jawing gents
and doleful danes have made your
life bore; if you would queer their
moral games, you'll do what they i'm
plore. For months they have surround
ed you, and raised their daily storm,
and tried to pound you black and blue
with language rich and warm; l often
wonder what they'd do if haply you'd
reform" James Baxter Twigg, he wink
ed three winks, and said, your rede
is kind, and I'll cut out those noxious
drinks which have unhinged my mind
and laugh at all the busy ginks who've
talked me deaf and Blind"

All of its members saw service overseas, and all
of them in times of peace are interested in the
welfare of their country.
Associations of this kind perform a high
service in keeping all of alive to the necessity
of being loyal to our country in times of tran
guilty and of stress and storm. Some of US are
prone to overlook the sacrifices which most of
these men made few years ago, of the dangers
they encountered, and of the wounds they re-
ceived in order that we might be safe and secure
and pursue our vocations undsturbed and with
out fear.
A state encampment of former service men,,
no matter whether they are veterans of the Civil
war, or of the wars that have been fought since,
serves distinct patriotic purpose. It empha-
sizes the principles of government for which this
nation stands. It teaches us that the country
is never so absolutely safe that the military can
be dispensed, with. 1t asks US to rally round
the flag of the republic, to renew again our ale
glance to everything for which it stands
Richmond is glad to have the former service
men here. It will follow with interest the delib-
erations of the organization and take part in the
functions open to the public.

significant development in their rela-
ton to civilization" he continues. But
l never like to prophesy.
Eve have measured lightning and
we have produced thunderbolts in our
laboratories. We can say how soon
we actually shall harny5s the ele-
ments.
1.-THE housewife of the future may
sit at her secretary and press few
buttons, thus letting electricity do her
work. She will have no servant prob
lem. The man in the office and the
factory probably will be similarly
emancipated from physical labor.
Strides will be made in transportation
and in communication of which the
wisest of us little dream.
1.-THE most amazing progress in re-
cent years has been in the field of il
Illumination. Twelve to Is times as
much light is secured from a given
amount of fuel as could be obtained 10
years ago. Developments in lighting
probably will continue along the lines
already worked out"

Veterans of Foreign Wars

The first state encampment of the Veterans
of Foreign Wars, an association which comprises
in its membership men who have fought in the
foreign wars in which our country has engaged,
is being held in Richmond. Seventeen posts of
this state are represented by accredited dele
gates and many visitors.
One hardly thinks of veterans of foreign wars
in connection with our own country, but it has
not been so long ago that our men were in Cuba,
the Philippine Islands, China, Siberia, France,
Belgium, and Germany.
The association is founded on the principle
of loyalty, and teaches the high duty of patriot
ism, not only. in times of war, but also in peace

A handkerchief is thrown over glass
of water. When 1t is removed the
water has changed to ink.
The trick is accomplished by conn
pressed ink tablet. Such tablets are
sold at stationery stores, and when
dissolved in water form ink. Remem-
Der, however, that the ink resulting
will be too thin for practical purposes
with a full glass of water. The ink
tablet is previously wrapped In the

CHALLENGE IS HURLED BY
LEGION AT BALI. TEAMS OF
KIWANIANS AND ROTARIANS

A meeting of Lakeland American
Post No. wifi be held Tuesday night
when a decision will be reached to
issue challenges to the Kiwanis club
and to the Rotary club to play games
with the baseball teams of these two
organizations. 1t is desired to have
the games as soon as possible. No
players are to be taken from either
the Kiwanis or the Rotary clubs who
are members of the legion. 1t is de-
sired not to disturb the present line
up, but to pick from the Legion a
team that will have membership Meth
er in the Kiwanis or Rotary clubs.
1t is hoped that the challenge will
be accepted. The American Legion
treasury is somewhat depleted and
the receipts from the two proposed
games will go a long way toward re-
plenishing the Golfers of the local Le-
gion Post.
