The He-Man Fad

I'm tired of he-men six feet high,
who dwell beneath an arctic sky and
pull off large, heroic tricks. They
are he-men in word and deed,
should admire their stalwart game |;
but in the fiction books / read these
he-men guys are all the same.
They're standardized like henry
cars, they have square jaws and eyes
steel gray, their manly breasts are
traced with scars acquired Ia many
a deadly fray. I'm tired of he-men
of the west, who use two guns with
grace and ease, and shoot stranger
in the breast and hit another in the
knees. And while they ride around
in rings to let their carnal weapons
cool, they might be doing useful
things, like hoeing beans or teach
ing school. They might be clerking
in a store, dispensing pies and hot
cross buns; but no, they wade
around in gore, and file new notches
on their guns. like .the he-men
of the town who bravely toll. hour
after hour, and when they pull their
wages down. take home a ham or
sack of -four. For tomahawks and
scalping knives and deadly guns
they spend no groats; they work all
day, then take their wives and
drive ten miles in their own boats.
Of these no fiction glutton reads,
they are unknown to red-blood
fame, no. poet sings their quiet
deeds, but they are he-men, just the
same.

ADMITS D. c. LAGS
IN STREET WORK
Maj. Bell Declares, However,
Best Is Being Done With
Limited Funds.

The District government has fallen
far behind in street improvements in
all parts of the city, Maj. j. Franklin
Bell. Engineer Commissioner. told the
Brookland Citizens Association, meet
ing in Masonic Hall, 18th and Monroe
streets northeast, last night.
The major said he felt confident,
however, that the limited funds being
made available are being fairly well dis
tributed.
TT may seem hard to you to be as
sessed benefits for the condemning OF
a new street and then have to wait
number of years before 1t is graded or
paved" the major observed. But If
we postponed condemnation of the
streets until we had funds to pave
them they might never be opened, or
the cost of condemnation might De
much greater"
The Engineer Commissioner advised
citizens to go first to the proper 9e-
partment heads at the District build
ing when improvements or 1nforma-
tion is being sought. .
Those department chiefs" said
the major, ARE experienced men IN
responsible and they must have au-
trority OF course, If you try the
department head and do not feel
that you have received fair con-
sideration, then is the time to appeal
to me-"

voted by the association.

A man is Judged by what he does Ad-
vertising is Judged by the manner in which it
conducts itself If it does not inspire conf
dence it receives little or no response. Ad-
vertising is good salesman if its customers
have confidence in what it says.
A man cannot expect to build confidence
in himself simply by saying that he is worthy
of it. His conduct must inspire it. That is
also true of advertising.
Who is there that would not charge the
above advertisement as being ridiculous?
The merchant would naturally advertise
these hose as being $2o8 hose selling for
$1.08 There is nothing offered FREE in
the above advertisement, because one
could obtain brand-new dollar bill without
first paying to the merchant $2.08. The
offer is nothing more than reduction in
sale price, which is perfectly proper when the
merchant chooses to do so.
The Better Business Bureau is heartily
opposed to the practice of advertising an

chase some other article or perform some
service to obtain the so-called FREE" Z

Mr.. Block used a long stick with rag
on the end to light the fuse. In some

quick enough. In any event the high
explosive went off with Mr.. Block IN

and dirt was blown into his face and
eyes.
Mr.. Block was taken to the Doolit-

punctured with foreign matter but as
the cornea of the eyes was unaffected
it was thought the sight could be saw

ORION SHEEP HERDERS
ORGANIZE FOR MURDERER

ITHACA, Wis.-Milo Malfield and
sons and George Worden were among
the number that joined in the wolf
hunt last week. Other hunters from
Twin Bluffs, Ash Creek, Oak Ridge
and Sharp Hollow, with their dogs
also took part. This particular wolf
is of the timber species, large and un-
usually savage and has wrought great
damage among sheep herds IN the
township of Grin. Some of the hunt
ers have been after the yandal for 4
week and have given the wolf no rest,
yet the animal mana ges to elude the
hunters and fights off the hounds. He
has been shot at scores OF times and
has been brought to bay several times
by the dogs. AS an inducement to rid
the country of this scOurge there is
offered a special bonus of seventy dol
lars by the outraged farmers who
have sustained heavy damages. Al
this writing the wolf is still at large,
but an organized effort 81 now planned
by which it is hoped he will be cap
tured The range of this pest has
been from Bear Creek to Mill Greek
through the southern sections of the
townships and the animal has levied
heavy toll on the sheep owners. AT
first these losses were attributed TO
dogs, but the wolf has been seen in
the act in broad daylight and not a
dozen rods from residences.-Ric

AUTHOR OF CLANSMAN
FLAYS MODERN KLUXER

NEW YORK.-Thomas Dixon, au-
thor of The Clansman, condemned the
modern Ku Klux Khan Monday night
and declared it had stolen the livery
of the original order. Mr.. Dixon was
one of several speakers at a meeting
called by the American Unity League
to discuss ways and means for COM
batting the hooded organization. He
sad that when the modern khan was
organized a few years ago he declined
an invitation to join, warning the Or
ganizers that if they dared to use the
disguise in a secret oathbound order
today, with the courts of law working
under a civilized government, the end
was riot, anarchy, bloodshed and mar
tial law"
The original khan was founded by
the bravest and noblest men of the
south as weapon against corrupt
and intolerable tyranny, he said, but
the prescription of the negro races by
the modern khan is inhuman.
THE khan assault on the foreigner
is the acme of stupidity and inhuman-
ity." he said. If this is 100 per cent
Americanism, I, for one, spit on It.

The County Agent stopped at Erna

the radio to pick up the messages rae
ing through space and he soon tuned
in on Davenport, Iowa. The station
there was giving out the close of the
could be heard just as plain as though
the man was in the home.
Mr. Abrams does not only raise soy
beans, Holstein cattle, good corn and
pigs, ETC., but he also is in the bust
ness OF raising boys and he has four
boy team that he is developing and he
believes in doing all that is possible
towards giving them the best training
he knows how.
The oldest boy, Fenton, has been on
BOYS club demonstration team and
earned trip to the State Fair. His
second boy, Will, has done enough
goou cluD work TO warrant him as be-
ing chosen as the best boys club
member in Grant county to receive a
free trip to the State Fair also. Clark
is the third boy and is fast taking up
the club work while Chester is going
to make them all hustle to hold their
respective places.
Mr. Abrams says that the radio GER
tainly helps keep the boys at home.
They have listened in on over one
hundred stations in the United States,
Canada and the West Indies.
Mr.. Abrams stated that the only
trouble he finds is that they will stay
up all night listening to lectures, mus
ical programs and concerts that start
early in the evening in the Eastern
part of the United States and last I'M
til late into the night, finally ending
up at Western stations.
Thus far mention has been made of
the interest that the father is taking
in his boys and we all know that the
mother always plays the important
part and Mr.. and Mrs. Abrams be-
lieve in going to church and Sunday
School and for a long time Mrs.
Abrams has been one of the leaders
in the Mt. Hope Sunday School.
These things are not mentioned to
give special advertisement to any one
family. but there is much good that we
can obtain from knowing what others
are doing and the statements that
many public speakers use today and
feel that it is the only way out of our
present conditions, in that the saliva
ton of the United States rests in the
interest that we take in our respec-
tive churches, and it is through them
that we will bring back the influence
of the home and better our neighbor-
hood condition.
We need lot of boys and girls to
do club work and they in turn will re-
ceive invaluable benefits from it.
