This year is to be memorable. suspicious one in the history of things political, and if women do not make sure they will be able to vote by paying their tax, they will possi- bly, be sorry.
 For our sheriff and other offi- cers for the country are to be named. There will be always bond issue ques- tions, good roads issues, and there Is the gubernatorial election, too, as well AS Nthe naming of a congress- man, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state auditor and many others.

In this event 1t is ex- pected that mandamus proceedings will be instituted seeking to compel him to pay the warrants drawn by the board of revenue and the matter of his obligation in this regard tested in the courts as "a matter of self protection, hefstated.
 If, however, 1t is found that draw ing of the warrants by the board of revenue as the governing body of the county is sufficient to protect him and his bondsmen from personal lia- bility and to place whatever responsi- bility may exist on the board, he will continue to pay the money for the sheriff's office called for in the war rants.
 The matter has been referred to his attorneys by Mir. Henry, he said, and his future course will depend on their construction of the law. Figures re- gently compiled by the board of reve- nue show that the income of the sheriffs department is approximately s42.O00 behind its receipts for the past 12 months.

There are our legislators to be named this year, who are to be asked to put over various measures which concern the welfare of men, as well as women and children. County judges are to be elected"
 Women over 4b years old do not have to pay poll tax. The only thing necessary Is that they register.
 The league is so much in earnest over the subject, it's individual mem bers plan for while now to greet every woman acquaintance With the question::
 Have you got your poll tax re- ceipt yet?'

trance leads to a paSSageWay, which
is large enough for the iceboX and has
a closet alongside it for the linens
needed in the dining room and kitchen.
Back of the kitchen also is a good
sized pantry.
The stairs lead into a short hall on
the second floor, off which open the
three bedrooms, one at the front, one
at the side and one at the back The
bathroom is located in the center Of
this floor, SO that it is accessible to all
three bedrooms. Both front and rear
bedrooms are Is feet inches by 10
feet, while the one at the end Of the
house is II by II feet.
The basement extends under the
whole Of the house and is reached by
stairs just inside the entrance at the
side of the house.
Taken altogether this is a very de-
sirable home building design-one that
combines exterior attractiveness and
interior comfort, and it is not expen-
sive to build.

LEGION HONORED ALL DEAD
Organization Participated in Services
at Final lnterment of Men
Brought Home.

Army transports in which many OF
them went across eager for the con-
fiict have carried back the last of the
$4,000 A. E. f. dead, those relatives
had requested to be returned to this
country for permanent burial The
graves registration service Of the
army, which had the work of return
ing these bodies in charge, did an al
most superhuman task. But this
service could not give the comradely
human touch to the handling of these
bodies after they reached the United
States that seemed due them.
No organization was so well suited
to perform the last rights Of honor
and respect for these soldier dead as
was the American Legion. The men of
the Legion took upon themselves the
obligation. Forty ship loads of bodies
came to eastern ports during period
of two and half years. 1t was not
always possible to have an elaborate
service, because the arrivals were too
frequent, but in every instance there
was at least prayer by chaplain
of the Protestant, Catholic or Jewish
faith, an address by a prominent citi-
zen or army officer and a rife salute.
A number of times, however, the
services were noteworthy. President
Harding delivered an address at
services arranged by the Legion, May
%, 1921, when the Princess Matoika
arrived with 451 bodies. General
Pershing and Senator Lodge spoke
when the Somme and the Wheaton ar
rived, July 10, 1921, with 1000 dead.
The last cargo of bodies arrived in
Brooklyn, in April, 1922, on the Cam
brai On that occasion, the body Of
Private Charles w. Graves, Company
M, One-hundred and Seventeenth in
fantry, Thirteenth division, was borne
on a caisson through the streets, lined
with silent throngs, to the army base,
where simple ceremonies marked the
close of the last public demonstration
for Americas returned dead.

ONLY THE BEAUTIFUL is ART
Distortion and UgIiness, Which May
Be Summed Up as Untruths,
Are Its Opposite.

Beauty is the alpha and omega Of
art-by beauty meaning that art which
is intrinsically and extrinsically pro-
portioned-and without beauty there
could be no art. Ugliness is untrue
to art. All distortion is ugliness-
untruth-and therefore not art.
Art is that sublime union of the con-
crete with the abstract which makes
always for the elevation of the soul
of man; otherwise it must be mere
tricious work and not true art. The
sense of beauty may be for season
obscured, even as vapors cloud the
face of the sun, but it is inalienable
ard imperishable. The desire. foI i.--
for that beauty which tranquillizes,
which enlarges, which uplifts-is at
the core of existence. Consciously or
unconsciously the soul of man is al
ways reaching forward to more and
more sublimated experience and that
age which feeds upon beauty will in
evitably rise above it's fellows both in
the conception of ideals and in the
GENERALIZATION of their inspiration.

When the average family begins to
plan to build new home, every men,
Der has some idea that he or she
would like to see incorporated in the
house. In some other home, perhaps,
such a feature as appealed to the in
dividual was found and gave rise to
the thought that when or if he was to
build he would have this feature in
his home. 1t is this desire that makes
so many homes entirely different from
others.
There is danger, however, in carry
ing this idea too far. Odd features
either in the exterior or interior of a
house may not appeal to someone else,
and, if the necessity arises, may pre-
vent the SALE of the home. Comfort
and convenience may be secured for
the average family by following the
plans that have been found most suit
able to the average family. And when

Legion posts are established In
practically every community in the
United States and Legionnaires have
carried their flag into 20 foreign coun-
tries. In every one of these far-flung
1000 posts there are one or more
men who know Lemuel Bolles. Mr..
Bolles, then, knows them. Ever since
the Legion was organized in France
Mr.. BOlles has been identified with 1t.
Since it's first convention in Minneapo-

jutant, and as such he has met per-
sonany or cCrresponded with thou
sands Of Legion men and women. His
duties have taken him into almost all
the 4S states during these three years,
and he receives a thousand OR so let
tiers each week. He has, without doubt,
the largest personal acquaintance with
men OF arms ever enjoyed by any in
dividual since armies were invented.
Mr.. BOlles was born in Minneapolis,
grew up on the ranges of the Dako-
tas and was established in Seattle,
Wash, when he entered active service
for the World war. He began his
military career as a private in Ma
tional Guard company. Overseas he
served as a colonel on the general
staff of the First army corps, and
was decorated with the Legion of Hon.
