LITTLE BENNY'S NOTE BOOK
by LEE PAPE

TIME
There is "a no trs in every day,
even the days that seem like less and
in. oding the ones that seem like
more, and if you know how to tell
time all you haff to do Is look at a
clock and find out which one of the
"a it is rite then, only it may not do
you eny special good to find out, on
account of most people jest looking
at the time to practice telling it and
satisfy their curiosity.
Some clocxs are more bewtifill than
others, depending on how uch there
is to them besides their face. some
big clocks have little bit of faces and
it don't do you eny harm TO look at
them even if they are stopped, be-
cause at leest you are sure to see the
decorations, vile some little clocks
have nuthing a. all to go with their
face, sutch as alarm clocks Nobody
wunts to look at a alarm clock when
its not going and most people even
hate to heer them wen they are going,
But the most important hing about
a clock is wheather its rite or not, be-
cause if a clock is slow or fast it ony
tells you wat time it would be If 1t was
erlier or later, wich its not. and il a
clock aint goil-s it tells you wat time
it was wen it stopped.
Watches are a CRATE invention be-
cause they preve'f eep from ha ing
TO carry eTIO IlQ CLOCKS. All you udlL
to do to find out wat time it is eny
hour of the day or mite is ask a man
with his watch chain showing and he'll
tell you unless he has key on the end
of it.
Big cheep watches are the most con-
venient because you're not disappointed
wen you look at them and see they're
not going on account of you having
knew it enyways because of the suddin
silence. They are also CRATE COM
fort to poor people because when they
are alone in dark room with a big
cheep watch they can imagine they got
a clock.

seems to think that there raust have

me-
Mr. Beldep laughed. AT first
was. You see, my uncle is Belden
of Belden's big department store. He's
agreed to tax me in as junior part
ner, but he's trying me out. Belden's
made profit 1t has never been able
to compete with the other big stores
in that lin So uncle told me to take
over that department and find out
what was wrong.
81 stayed in the store for a week,
then L decided I'd have to get out and
see what the women really wanted
decided I'd spend a few weeks at a
summer resort where there are al
ways some fanc5 work fans. Then 1
saw you-and well, at first. I used to
tell me what you knew about the
fancy rk business And-why, I've
got dozen-page 'C give my
uncle from just what you have told
me. You've opened my eyes. L see
now what's the matter with Belden's
fancy work department"
"But-but,'' Helen faltered. II was
sailing undel false colors- 1 really
can't endure fancy work. 1 just did it
because Aunt Matte wanted To-
81 can't endure it either. Those fly
swats with the worsted roses make me
dizzy and I'd run a mile if you wore
one of those dish-rag sweaters. The
idea is that I first wanted to t7ow
you because L thought you were
typical fancy--work girl-and then"
And Helen was satisfied.

HOW SHIP SUBSIDIES WORK.

Congress assembled in regular ses-
sion Monday. While the house is wres-
Ting with the appropriation bills, it
is expected that the senate will spend
its time wrangling over the ship sub
sidy, altho hardly anybody thinks
there is a chance for its passage.
One of the arguments put forward
by friends of the subsidy is that ''ev-
erybody's doin' it, and therefore we
must fall in line or our ships will dis
appear from the sea- Opponents OF
the measure cite - and figures
which should serve to dispel any hope
that a merchant marine can be built
up by the subsidy plan.
Several instances of the operation of
ship subsidies are being brought for
ward. One of this country's first ex-
periences was in 1850, when the old
Collins Line was granted $S5O,OOO for
twenty-six trips a year. The company
went into bankruptcy in 1859. Con-
gress tried the subsidy plan in 1866
with the Brazilian Line. In 1867 the
Pacific Mail subsidy was put into ef-
feet. In spite of all this, American
trade continued >to decline, and the
gressional investigation in 1869.
Probably no European country has
experimental so extensively with ship
subsidies as France Since 1865 the
decline of the French merchant navy
has been the subject of profound
study. Various schemes were tried,
and in 1881 a law was passed granting
bounties to the owners and builders of
merchant vessels BY its provisions
the shipbuilder was allowed S11.5s for
every gross ton of vessels constructed.
and $2.S2 per ten Kilograms OF ma
chinery and boilers. To the owners
OF ships of French construction a
bounty of % cents a net ton for every
1000 miles sailed for the first year
was given. Each succeeding year the
bounty was diminished one 40 cents
for wood and composite vessels. and
one cent for vessels built of iron or
steel. Fer a year or two this law gave
an artificial stimulus to shipbuilding.
and a number of fine vessels were
added to the French fleet. 1t was seen,
however. that the law was not all that
was to be desired. and in 1898 another
subsidy law was passed. increasing the
bounty on construction and basing the
bounty to ship owners upon the gross
tonnage instead of the net tonnage. In
spite OF this law. the steam tonnage
engaged in meeting foreign competi-
tion showed a decline for the six years
from 1898 to 1885 inclusive.
Germany's merchant marine history
IS marked by several attempts at sub
sidy grantinG, hut these were largely
or special nature. Great Britain
at times has undertaken postal sub
sfdies. as these were considered desir-
able because of the encouragement
given TO build fast ships that might be
used as light cruisers in times Of war.

If wives should file a bill of rights,
as some husbands have done in New
York, what should they demand? They
would have a right to ask:
THAT their husbands give them a
square deal when they sign them up
on the matrimonial contract. The most
cruel and dastardly crime that any
human being ever commits is when a
man marries an ignorant and innocent
| young girl, knowing that he is doom
| ing her and her children to pay the
price of the wild oats he has sown.
Compared to that murder is an inno-
cent pastime.
The first right, then. of every bride
| is to know beforehand the kind of a
/ life a man has led in his bachelor days.
| least knows what she is doing. She
isn't being tricked into a bargain in
which she is foreordained to lose out.
Nor has any man a right to marry
girl without telling her the absolute
truth about his income Every woman
has right to know whether the part
nership into which she is entering is a
going concern, with the likelihood of a
prosperous future, or one that is hope
iessly bankrupt. There are men SO
loveable and fascinating that a crust
with them is better than stalled OK
with another, but a girl should be
made wise to the situation and know
that she is espousing a cooking stove
instead of a limousine when she
does it.
PA wife has a right to demand
that her husband treat her fairly
about money. and give her her share
of the family income. No man has a
right to humiliate his wife by making
her come to him like a beggar for
every penny, nor has he q right to ask
her how she-spends her own personal
allowance.
3-A woman has a right to expect
her husband to do his share towards
making a happy home. That is a two
handed job that no wife can accom-
plish by herself. No matter if a woman
wears the smile that won't come off,
she can't make a CHEEKY place of a
house in which a man sits around as
grumpy and grouchy as a sore-hea ded
bear.
"A wife has a right to demand
some personal liberty. She is a far
the things that imm ediately affect her
and it is an affrontato her intelligence
to have to ask his leave to do this. and
do that, as if she were a feeble minded
child. The reason that so many
widows bear the loss of their husbands
with such Christian resignation is be-
cause they are enjoying their first and
only taste of personal liberty. They
went from their parents authority to
their husbands authority, and never
before have they ever been able to
spend dollar without having to ac-
count for it, or go to place without
first having to ask permission.
have never had a right in all their
existence until they acquired rights by
widowhood.

A DELAYED HARVEST.

1t has taken long time for the sub
treasury and government warehouse
and federal loans on farm products,
the seed os which was planted by the
Farmers Alliance, to bear fruit, but
the crop now seems to be about ready
for the harvest. President Harding
has put his support behind the plan
for a new system of rural credits de-
signed to stabilize marketing condi-
tons
The administration plan IS said to
contemplate using the federal land
banks as the agency for a new system
of agricultural financing. In every
way the utility of these land banks is
to be extended The maximum
amount which may be lent on mort
cages is to be increased from $40, 900
to SIS, 900. At the present TIME these
banks are lending at the rate of al
most s309. .0c0 a year, with an interest
rate of 5 Il per cent. which contrasts
faYorably with the z and s per cent
rates charged by sorae private asep-
cies-
More IElT ortant than This a:n-I.i-
ment. however. is regarded the p-o-
posaI cor intermediate credit for glow-
ing livestock, handling crops and "a m
improve-r ents, an agency which will
permit the farmer to borrow at rea-
sonable interest rates for a length of
ti.,le running from a year Or less to
three years Under this arrangement,
it is pointed out, farmers aud stock
ra.sers would, not be force1 to rush
their products on an unfavorable mar
ket II order to obtain ready cash. but
could hold them for a favorable op-
portunity and borrow against them.
Such was the recommendation of
the national agricultural conference
mat was held in Washington last Jan
uary. Many OF its proposals have al
ready been enacted into law, bat his
EToblem of short time credits appar-
entity has been too great for rspid dis

Toilette bloc will let the president in

would be glad to be relieved of its
responsibility so readily. Cities do not
often dispose OF a human mystery
carelessly, because it is always to their
ADVANTAGE to solve the puzzle. In
burying an unidentified body "a city
might be burying a troblesome crin1-
inaI or a missing heir, and, the search
for that person might go on needessly
for years. Yet in spite of investi<
cations and widely advertised in-
quiries 40, 900 such bodies are buried
each year.
Identifying persons who are for
some reason unable to prove who they
are is the most obvious use of the
proposed finger print bureau. Other
uses would undoubtedly be found once
the system was established. An i'm
poster would find it difficult to keep
up his bluff once he was suspected.
To refuse to show official finger print
proof of his identity would be to invite
suspicion, and soon or later his prints
would be obtaine dby some ruse and
checked up officially. ~
claimants for the fortune of long
missing heirs could be made to prove
their claims by the finger print rec
ords. Insurance cases could be set
tied by reference to the official files
That is, for instance, if an insured
man were killed in an accident, and
his widow were put to the necessity
of proving that the dead man was
indeed her husband in order to draw
his insurance, finger prints might be
utilized.

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl
sixteen years of age and am very. small
for my age, but pretty. 1 have been
going with a boy for a year and he
seems to think all the world of me.
but he is always wanting to kiss and
love me- Do you think this boy
would want to do this if he really
loved me? SMILES.
1t is natural to want to kiss and
love. Without a doubt the boy really
cares for you, but I would not advise
you to let him do as he wants to, be-
cause he might soon tire of loving
you and transfer his affections to some
other girl. You are too young to let
yourself be kissed and-ioved because
you are too young to be >sure that
your love is of lasting quality.
