KEEP PACE
WITH EVOLUTION.A

Darwin declared that the hu-
man race was merely an evolu-
tion of the monkey tribe. Some
people agree with him. Others do
do not.
But there is no denying that
even within the memory of most
of US, there has been consider
able of an evolution in the hui
man mode of living. And today,
this evolution is buzzing along
faster than cv.r.
There his never been a time
when conditions changed SO rap
id when life bettered itself
SO consistently. New comforts
and conveniences are coming in
all the time. And the rapidity
with which they are invented
and put before us vitally affects
us all
To take advantage of these
things, you must keep yourself
informed. You must know not
only what they are, but also
how much they cost and where
and how 10 get them.
The only way you can know
this is to be a regular reader of
the advertisements.
Advertisements tell of all
that the world is doing to make
you more comfortable, your
work easier, your methods better,
your clothing and food problems
less irksome. They tell you how
you can save time and effort
and money in the selection of
the things that make life worth
while.
Advertisements are, interest
ing, instructive and highly prof
liable to you.
Keep in touch with modern
evolution by reading the adver-
tisements.

DAILY POEM
INCURABLE
By BERTON BRALEY

By BERTON BRALEY
There's guy across the alley has flute
(Toot! TootD
And that instrument, it seems is never mute.
There is nothing any cutter
Than truly clever tooter
Who's been tutored how to toot upon the flute:
But this bird is far from sklful,
And his piercing notes are shrillful,
With maddening effect upon the ear;
And we shudder and we shiver,
And our nerves are all aquiver
At the devastating discords that we hear.
There's guy across the alley has flute
(Toot! TootD
If he plays upon it longer we shall shoot!
Not single notes true one,
Every warble is a blue one
Like a screech owl with cold who tries to hoot.
Oh the sounds that he's emitting
Keep our teeth forever gritting,
He's pestilential nuisance, that galoot;
And each day he toots it longer,
And his lungs are growing stronger
With the exercise he gives 'em on that flute,
Oh the guy across the alley HAD flute.
But we calmly went and massacred the brute;
In the grave we sought to hide him,
With his instrument beside him,
But I've heard it said by people of repute,
That sound to chill the tissues
Nightly from the graveyard issues,
It's ghostly shrek that makes the tmid scoot;
And it's said by those who hear it
It's the young mans stubborn spirit
Which is playing CHASTITY discords on the flute
(Toot! TootD
Making other corpses restless with his flute!

REFORMING BECOMES
VERY FASHIONABLE.


Reforming has become very
fashionable. Perhaps that is the
reason everybody is doing it-or
at least is trying to do it. If we
don't like the way our neighbor
combs his hair or the manner
in which his wife hangs the fam
lily wash on the line, we organ
ize a reform bureau and bede-
vii our congressman to have a
federal statute passed to have
the matter corrected.
This contention was borne
out last week when a Georgia
congressman was appealed to
to have a law passed requiring
all motor vehicles to come to a
full stop before crossing rail
road track. OF course it would
be a good thing, but how ould
making such a law help matters?
If we live in a state where it
is illegal to smoke cigarettes in
public, or to play dominoes on
Sunday, or pose as a proud faith
er without being required to
recite the text of the Shepard
Towner maternity law, we make
haste to join another society to
work for the repeal of the Of
Tending statutes.
If we may believe recent re-
ports, there are more than 1900
"anti" something or other socie-
ties in the United States, every
one of them industrially and
noisily working to prevent some
body from doing something they
are supposed to want to do. Our
morals, manners, and politics
have become so run down at the
heel that everybody and every
thing needs reformation and ap-
parently everybody and every
thing has goneeinto the business.
Our lawmakers, stampeded by
the varying winds of politics,
mistaken, absurd and unworka-
bic laws at the drop of the hat.
And no sooner are such laws
passed than there springs up an
organization bent on enfoIee
ment, followed by the next day
by another intent on repair
ing it. And so it goes.
If We could but declare a ten
year holiday in the passing of
laws, as has been suggested,
the bulk of these tiresome refor-
nations would die and the pesti-
ferrous performers would go in
for something promising more
excitement.
We are not saints, it is true,
but neither are we savages. We
make our home brew, eat peas
with out knives, do as we please
on Sundays, or consume limbur-
ger cheese in public, but what's
that got to do with the eternal
fitness of things? Our habits
may not be pleasing to our fell
lows, but why is it necessary
to turn the government into
reformatory to correct them7
There are some reforms needed,
we grant, heavens knows, and
the first is more thought, fewer
laws, and the consequent pass
ing of the reformer as the vic
tim of his own dry rot.
