JUST'FOLKS
THE LOVE or YouR oMN.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST

Pile up the wealth of the world-and when
you have gathered it in,
You must come to the home of your dreams,
if peace and contentment you'd win;
Gather the wreaths of the throng, by oil
let your courage be known,
But to be happy at last you must still
have the love of your own.
There in the house that you keep must be
weter whenever you thirst,
Whether It's humble or great, the home
that you build must be first,
First in your heart and your mind, first
in the deeds that you dare,
For never men's praises are sweet unless
p-aise is bestowed on you there.
Guard it from sorrow and pain, close 1t to
shame and TO hate,
Treasure the hearts that are there, look for
their smiles at the gate;
Cherish their pride thru the years, let them
rejoice in your worth
And you may sit down content, tho missing
the glories OF earth.
A home that is CHEEKY and glad, build 1t,
oh. brother Of minei
Let the world think what 1t VIII, but your
loved ones must know you are fine;
Starve not their lives for success, wreck
not their love to attain
Some goal which you selfishly seek, or you
shall have struggled in vain.
Give it your best thru the years, tender
and kindly and strong,
Fill it with laughter and love, fill It with
music and song;
Strive for mems cheers IL you will, hut
bitter and dreary the cost
II the home you have builded goes down
and the faith of your loved ones is lost

@. Are such chiIdren's diseases as sore
throat, scarlet fever, ct cetera, ever con-
tracted from drinking milk? 5. l.. X.
A Within recent years several epidemics
of septic sore throat have been traced to
milk. In some of these epidemies 1t was
found possible by pasteurization to destroy
streptococci, which were isolated from
throats. of infected people and which were
believed to be the 1nfeeffoe f agents; s,a eas to
protect against epidemics of this kind, but
until the organism which causes the disease
is definitely known it is impossible to say
that it affords absolute protection. Epi-
denies of scarlet fever have been traced to
milk supplies, and in such cases pasteur-
ization has been resorted to, with appar-
emily satisfactory results. as means OF
safeguarding the public health. This bu-

have a friend in Cleveland, an
artist whose lovely home rests just at
the top of a beautiful hillside.
Being an artist-and having a wife
who in her own right is also artistic
you would expect a home and estate
full of delightful innovations and sur
prises. And that is exactly what you
will find if you are as fortunate as
in having been a guest of this pair.
There are thick woods, open spaces,
flower beds, seats hidden from beaten
paths, statues, and winding steps that
lead to small out-of-the-way house
at the bottom of the hill which it's
builder and owner has termed THE
Crouch House"
This house has a living room with
an artistic fireplace made of tiling of
the artists own design, a kitchen, a
sleeping room for the occasional guest,
and an outside, stone-terraced place
from which to. watch the birds and
squirrels.
Many a famous parsonage has been
entertained in this little hidden house.
And inscriptions are written across
the walls on all sides The furniture
is almost exclusively genuine old early
American. Rockers such as "Auntie''
used as she sat by the kitchen fire
and. hushi probably smoked her pipe.
No matter in what direction you look,
there is something of interest, for
both your eyes and your soul
BUT now come 10 the important
point-why is this The Crouch
House?
Well, in the first place, no matter
what comes in this life-fame. wealth,
distinction-there always keeps burn
ing within US the desire for funda-
mentals. for crude honey things.

stincts breed.

Western farmers probably will
learn with some surprise that, in spite
of the new tariff with its high duties
on wheat and other agricultural prod
ucts, American exporters buy wheat
in Canada. The truth is, says the Chi
cago News, that the tariff duties on
agricultural products are a sorry de-
lusion. They do the farmer no good.
He needs outside markets in addition
to the home demand. He cannot
maintain artificially high prices at
home if the world markets quote low
or prices. By no tariff enactment can
he get rid of the competition of
Canadian wheat. If he Is forced to
pay excessive prices for manufactured
goods, and if those prices are due in
part TO unnecessary projection, he is
bunkoed Duties on his produce give
him paper protection only, while ex-
cessive duties on commodities that he
is forced to buy in a monopolized
market are intensely real.

usually twice year. Generally
speaking the sale which follows the
Christmas season has in it more goods
of interest to the casual buyer than a
fall auction.
Around Christmas time packages
are sent out hurriedly tied up for a
trip across the continent. Many a
Christmas gift . is sent on a slim
chance that a friend or relative may
be at the last address; and many more
gifts are sent so carelessiy wrapped
that the paper falls off, or SO reckless
ly addressed that even postoffice ex-
perts never succeed in DECIDING the
sender's directions for delivery. There
were 275,829 valuable articles found
loose in the mails due to insecure
wrapping last year.
This is a general statement of fact
regarding Christmas mail that winds
up at a government auction. It might
also be taken as a warning: Christ
mas is coming and the dead letter Of
flee will get your hastily mailed pack
ages-if you don't watch out.

DOES PROHIBITION PRoHIBTTs

The discussion of the prohibition
question continues to occupy much
space in the press. regardless of the
federal amendment and the bone-dry
laws. EVERY day the law stands on
the statute books is a gain" declares
William Allen White in his paper.
on the other hand the Fort Scott
Monitor says:
The tremendous flood of liquor with
which this whole section of south
Kansas and southwest Missouri is
flooded today, soon after the adop-
tion of a constitutional amendment
prohibiting liquor and the enactment
of bone-dry laws in both states
amounts to a paradox.
Travel out from Fort>Scott in most
any direction and you can find a still
making corn whisky, If the stories
told by reputable persons are true.
This Is more especially true in the hill
counties of Missouri to our southeast,
where one man says there is a still on
every other farm. They are operating
almost openly, and frequently may be
located to a certainty by the odor OF
the mash. One man affects to oper-
ate a sorghum molasses mill. He has
just about enough bagasse-ground
cane--in sight to have produced the
cane Juice for a gallon of molasseS,
yet there is an almost constant stream
OF men going there with jugs and
carrying away sorghum.
The annual report of the United
States internal revenue department
for the fiscal year 1920-21 shows that
in that year the government seized
414,00O gallons OF illegally distilled
spirits = 'moonshine.'' Unquestion-
ably vastly greater amount was not
seized, but found its way to thirsty
customers anxiously awaiting delivery.
Seizures are said to constitute about
one-twentieth of the total made. or
thereabout. But suppose the revenue
officers succeed in seizing 10 per cent
of all illicit whisky manufactured

Hell is paved with good Intentions -
IS phrase that is often on our lips.
When we repeat the old adage we
are thinking of the virtuous acts that
we meant to do and never did. We
are thinking of the cheering word we
always meant to say to some struggler,
of the visits we meant to pay to some
lonely soul; of the love and apprecia-
ton We intended to give to some hun
cry heart, of the helping hand we
planned to hold out, but never did.
God knows that there is so much
of kindness, so much of tenderness,
so much of helpfulness that we might
show our fellow creatures, and that
we withhold from them; there is so
much that we might give them that
would glorify their lives, and that
would cost US so little, that we never
bestow upon them. there is so much
good that we purpose to do, and never
accomplish that it is no wonder that
we say. that hell is paved with the
good deeds we meant to do, and never
did.
Sins of omission, however, are
never SO wicked as sins of commission,
and there is no greater tragedy than
this, that we oftener pave hell for
those about us with the good inten-
tions that we carry into effect than we
do with good intentions that remain
merely vague plans. 1t is our mis-
takes, made in good faith, that are
our bitterest curses.
The most poignant illustration OF
this we see in the way in which par
ents blight their children's lives by
trying to shield them from what they
think are dangerous temptations, or
who steer their children's bark on the
rocks trying to pilot them to harbors
of safety.
died to save their children an hour S
suffering, yet who, with the best IN
tentions in the world, did their boys
and girls a deadlier wrong than the
malice of the bitterest enemy could
have devised.
There is John, broken down. shah
by, out-of-elbow, an utter failure,
who has never been able to make a
living, yet John had it in him to be
a great artist. He was drawing pic
lures on the kitchen floor before he
could walk. AS a baby he babbled OF
beauty, and in ecstacy at every nan,
ing sunset. while other boys played
marbles.
But father had no opinion of ar
lists. He regarded them as some
thing between a tramp and a lunatic.
He would never let John study art
or waste his time making pictures, but
forced him into the grocery trade,
where a man had a chance to make
real money.
And there is Mary, and Sally, and
Susan, bright, clever and alert, cap
able of making places for themselves
in the world, and of living full, in
dependent lives. But mother and
father think that girl should go into
society and have beaux, and that they
should never leave their parents home
until they go to a home of their own.
| So the girls stick around. dissatisfied
and miserable, with no adequate in
terest to fill their lives, until, at last,
they marry to get away from home,
| or degenerate into miserable, sour old
maids, instead of becoming happy and
prosperous girl bachelors. or finding
their real mates in the outside world

John H. Cowles, sovereign grand
commander OF the Ancient and Ac-
cepted Scottish Rite of FreemasoEry
for the southern jurisdiction, thinks
we should have a national seat of
learning, as well as q department of
education in the government. The
suggestion implies that the whole
people would be taxed to maintain
one big school at some point inacces-
sible to all but few of the country g
inhabitants. The United States al
ready is well supplied With the higher
institutions OF learning. What really
seems to be needed is more attention
to the common schools.

year, $4,000, 900 the second, $7,500,000

the license revenue and federal aid
virtually intact for permanent i'm
provement purposes @
Tests show that car making Is
miles on gallon Of gasoline on unim-
proved roads will cover from 10 to 20
miles a gallon on good roads, the bull
letin adds. Minnesota has registered
nearly 100000 motor vehicles. Aver
age annual travel is estimated at 5000
miles, making 1,750, 100000. car miles
a year in this state. A saving Of only
a cent mile on car REPAIRS tires and
gasoline thus would aggregate ST., 800:
600 or more than twiceaithe current
revenues now turned intt the trunk
highway funds. It would mean $50 a
year to the average car owner. Anoth-
er way, a saving Of cents u gallon on
gasoline consumption would total more
than $5,500,000 a year in Minnesota.
Any conclusion leads to the question
Of whether Minnesota car owners care
to simply divert money from automo-
bile and tire manufacturers and gaso
line refiners to road betterments.
The highway department has formu-
lated no recommendations on the sub
ject the bulletin says, but purposes to
issue additional figures from time to
time in advance of the legislative ses-
sion that the public may be informed
of possible results.

Although too busy keeping the routes
smooth to act as "speed cops" the
highway members found need for bad

that the material is not being stolen.
The bulletin tells of a report from
one superintendent who found patrol

Inquiries disclosed that the trunk route
