TO MAKE THE BREAKFAST ROOM CHEERFUL

peeian red-which is much like Chi
nese lacquer red-something between
dull vermillion and orange. Flowers
or fruit in brilliant colors are cut
out of yellow, blue, violet and green
chambray, and appliqued to the val
ance to add more color. The table
and chairs are painted the same
Pompeeian red with the turnings
painted black. The table top might
be painted black also, if desired.
This sounds like startling color
scheme, but wouldn't be so when car
ried out with the proper relation
of values.
If the color scheme suggested
would not harmonic with the rest
of the house something else could
be used. Say yellow and white
checked bingham for the curtains
with the furniture painted a soft
grey-blue with yellow turnings-or
green and white curtains, with the
furniture in a natural walnut or ma
hogany color. The possibilities are
many and varied. Owing to the
fact that the kitchen is often sep
arated from the rest of the house
by a pantry and always with door
that is generally kept closed, more
brilliant color arrangement may be
used than in any other room in the
house. Whatever color scheme is
chosen, the result should be cheerful
and bright. Cheerful surroundings
for breakfast have averted many a
glum meal, not to mention many a
picayune family quarrel!

EDITORIALS
FRIENDLINESS A COMMERCIAL
ASSET

Recently an editorial appeared in
this column under the heading of
personality VS.. Money" 1t elected
such favorable comment that | pass
on a quotation taken from the De-
cember American Magazine in the
same vein. The article from which
it is taken is by that noted novelist,
Holworthy Hall. The title is Keep
ing Your Friendships in Good Re-
pair" In the course of his article
Mr.. Hall says:
zone of my distant relations
about million and half removed
is a rather well-known financier.
Twenty years ago he was cashier of
small country bank; today his in
come is in six figures.
zone of his colleagues said to me,
Fred got his start because he's a
wonder at saying No When a
client comes in for a loan, any fool
can say Yes But Fred can say
No in hundred and thirty-six diff
ferent ways-and still we don't lose
the client. Now THAT takes genius.
Fred's so considerable of them-not
just polite, but sympathetic, helpful,
encouraging land he means it,
that they go out almost as happy
as if we'd let them have the money"
This bears out my contention that
bank employee is a fool if he
treats prospective clients as if they
were beggars.

In vase on our study table, there
is a great bunch Of Autumn Leaves.
We gathered them last Sunday
while on ramble thru the woods.
There are leaves of every shade from
dull, dark brown to brilliant Grim
son-beautiful enuf to make a
wreath for the head Of Bacchus.
The day dies, but what a glorious
death it has in sunset; the summer
dies, but what gorgeous DEATH
Summer dies in great splendor, sur
rounded by wealth of color in the
falling leaves.
The inventor of the Kaleidoscope
must have gotten his idea from the
continually changing picture that
nature paints in late October.
We love to smell burning leaves,
a throw-back from a caveman ances-
tor, possibly.
We used to make them into cigar
cites and smoke them, during our
adolescent days.
We enjoy walking thru the rust
ling leaves, the sound fascinates us
more than the swish of silken skirts,
tho we 'spose you won't believe that.
A friend of ours, occupying an edi-
torial position on metropolitan
daily, has written a deathless lyric
on this subject.
His rhyme runneth thusly:
"The autumn leaves are falling,
They're falling mighty fast,
wonder how much longer
The autumn leaves will last"
A beautiful thing, as imperishable
as granite, it will read when Shakes
peare is forgotten, even if it is not
before.
Some crude intellect would call
this poem doggerel, not so we. One

must read between the lines to get
it's full beauty.
There is a dear girl Of our ac-
quaintance who used TO be fond of
autumn and its downpour of leaves.
She had no sympathy with Hoods
pessimistic poem about November:
mo shade, no shine, no butter
flies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves,
no buds,
No-vember!"
She came home to her parents
one day with little rhyme to learn
to recite in school. II might not be
called deathless poetry, yet it has
charm, and fits our mood.
1t was written by George Cooper
in 1910. He may be an ancestor of
Eye editor" for all we know"
The poem is called October
Poetry" and runs as follows:
October gave us party,
The leaves by hundreds came,
The Chestnuts Oaks and Naples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand.
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
The Chestnuts came in yellow,
The oaks in crimson dressed;
The lovely Misses Maple
In scarlet looked their best;
All balanced TO their partners,
And gaily fluttered by;
The sight was like a rainbow
New fallen from the sky"

WEARY BUSINESS OF STRIKES

Recently the miners went back to
work. In getting $30,000,00O
year wage increase they have lost
about $13,500,000 in wages during
their 1S-day strike. The loss of
production is estimated at 100000
tons. Railroad men laid off because
there was no coal to move have lost
many days pay. The general dis
location to business inevitable in any
strike, however short, is levying its
toll. How foolish and unnecessary
the whole thing looks, with its
settlements that settle nothing, its
heavy costs to all concerned and its
uncertainty that we must go through
the whole weary business again and
yet again!-Philadelphia Ledger.

A MUD THROWER SPLATTERS
HIMSELF MORE THAN
HIS TARGET

Judging by the peevish Editorial"
spewed out by joey the boiler plate
fiend in the wapentake last week.,
he is evidently still smarting from
the sore spot he received at having
to print the city ballots for only 200
berries when he got nearly 600 the
last time he printed them.
Blind abuse is always resorted to
by the weakling and the coward
But fortunately it always turns out
to be a boomerang-th man who
throws mud inevitably gets more
on himself than ever reaches his
target.
However, as long as he credited
us with being educated" we feel
qualified in calling his attention to
the fact that commas were put into
grammar so as to punctuate SEN
fences. Also "fat-faced" and foul
smelling" are hyphenated words.
e., (if he knows what that means,)
they should be separated by dashes
rs they are written here.

What is more dreary and discour-
aging than to begin the day in a
dark and dreary room? Dining
rooms are often the least desirable
rooms in house, as to exposure
and light for the reason that the
dining room being the room used
the least in the house and at short
intervals during the day, is allotted
the least desirable location.
That being the case it is best to
try and plan for small breakfast
room in one end of the pantry or
to have the kitchen so arranged
that a table and chairs may be used
for breakfast and perhaps luncheon.
When the kitchen is not large
enough to allow space to be given
permanently for a breakfast table
and chairs, an adjustable table may
be used which hinges from the wall
and may be let down when not in
use. Whatever the exigencies of the
situation, it is worth while to over
come them and have the breakfast
served where there is cheerful sun
light and warmth. The morning
paper reads much more intelligibly
and the coffee tastes better, and the
toast, even tho made in the kitchen
and scraped in the sink, will come
in for less emphasis!
This sketch advocates a cheerful
color scheme which happens to con-
sist of black and white checked ging-
ham; the side curtains and valance
being bound in chambray of Penn

Lambertville merchants are over
looking good bet in the idle prop
erty of the Lear Mill. The last year
it was operated it did gross bust
ness of over 100000. Properly
managed, it would turn a good profit
for local company. At the same
time it would draw lot of rural

BY GEE SEE


COMPETITION is THE LIFE OF
TRADE"
Josephus Wapentake's brain was SO
small
A microscope couldn't have found it
| at all.
He made out" all right with small
halibut
Who had no more brains than HE
had in HIS nut;
But when he met people whom he
couldn't fool,
He whined like boy, spanked and
sent home from school.
Without competition he fooled his
trade
And raked in the shekels as if with
a spade;
But when a competitor came to
town,
He blubbered and whined like lu-
dicrous clown;
He called him "deadbeat," he
knocked, he roared,
Like a Ford with carbon, or OK being
gored!
He tried to throw mud into peoples
eyes
By spewing out filthy, contemplate
lies.
But folks saw his object easy enough
And classified him as "bull-sling-
ing" bluff.
Meanwhile the competitor piled his
craft
By honest endeavor devoid of all
graft.
The public soon found this man to
be fair
His prices and dealings were all
on the square,
And so every time Josephus accused
He lost his best trade to the man
he abused;
A poor loser always bowls TRADE,
But keen competitions the life of
all trade.
Nowadays, if we are to believe
the advertisements, "the skin you
like to touch" is the one that has
been the target of beauty mud.

| A preacher in Kent County, Eng
land, recently moaned SO loud at
the dearth of marriages in his parish
that it got into the newspapers. He
said that the boys were too bashful
to propose.
But the Department of Vital Sta
tistics promptly made public the
fact that for the last 20 years there
hadn't been enough girls to go
around.
Following the preachers argu-
ment, we don't blame the girls for
being bashful if proposals mean ask
ing for the girls before they are
born.

these dry farms on the map.
AS to cultivation of the soil l will
say that blowing from four to fve
inches in deep enough. Whenever
plowed deeper it only meant
wastage of moisture and horse power. |
Experience has taught me that the
best time for planting winter wheat
is from the middle of September to
the first of October; provided there
is enough moisture to bring up the
crop. Later seeding I would not adj
wise. And If the ground is too dry,
! would advise to let the land lay
over till spring and plant spring |
wheat. / find that from forty-five
to fifty pounds Of good clean seed
per acre is sufficient for winter |
wheat, and twenty-seven to thirty |
pounds per acre for spring wheat.

bone of the dry farm is the old COW, :

they will pull you out. !

man having a little talk with his
dog, and altho it is an old story, it
has a certain amount of new life in
it when one has not heard it for a
while. BY the language we judge
that he was not Holland Dutchman,
but rather, a German, but this is
the way the talk ran:
"You vas only a dog. l wish l
vas too. I would sooner be a dog
as a man. Ven you lay down to
