TIE REFEREE
(By Albert Apple)

Anger
a letter in feminine handwriting
is delivered to . New York merchant
in his clothing store. His wife,
peeking over his shoulder. reads the
start: My darling julius" Trouble
starts. When police stop the argu-
ment, father has been knocked down
by the cash register hurled by his
son. And pa, IN rage, has rushed
about his Eadridge street store with
q big pair of tailor's scissors, ruin
ing several hundred suits of clothes
by shipping holes in them.
How do you act, by comparison.
when you get mad? A person in
rage reverts to childhood. Trouble
usually Is unnecessary and due to
petty, inconsequential things. The
wise mans attitude Is that no one
is worth getting angry at.
Home
a young lady of New York City,
married and taken to President Har-
ding's home town a few months ago,
languished with inconsistencies. She
went home on a visit. The other
day, when time to return to Marion.
she attempted suicide by swallowing
iodine. She'd rather die than leave
New York.
Many other young ladies' would
rather die than leave Marion.
When all's said and done, home
and friends count most in life.
Nothing else really matters.
Bromide, possihly.-but not to any
one who has ever been really home
sick.
In Russia everybody with an in
come over SGT a month has to pay
income tax. The tax is 80 per cent
decentralization all incomes over
500 a month. How'd you Like to
live there? We agree.
The highest salary paid to any
government official in Russia Is 500
month. Even T-otzky and Len.n
at that. Their oniy consolation Is
that $50 equals $500 million rIb!ss.
What do you find in today's news

Was the Ottawa made the deepest

Kegs
Home brewers will be surprised to
learn that, despite higher prices
since before the war. only fifty-six
million dollars worth of kegs and
other cooperage products were
turned cut in 1921, compared with
fifty millions in 1914-wholesale
prices.
And 1921 apparently q the top
year for making cellar wines. You
have observed how many people are
gradually making less wine. Too
much bother and mess. In the cell
lar branch of the liquor industry,
prohibition will not be a failure.
This country will he really dry
sooner than anyone now expects.
