Your Representative.

DEMEMBERING that the legislature of any
III state is the creation of the people in the va
rious subdivisions, acting, it is to hoped with their
best thought for the public welfare. The body IS
a fairly accurate reflection of the mentality and
purposes of the average citizen, and if it have
faults the blame is upon the people who chose the
men who make the failures.
If the work done in the ~law-making body is to
be improved, the citizen who votes must have a
better understanding of his job and give more in
stelligence and careful attention to the work of
selecting his representatives.
If the people want better government than they
have received in the past, they must not only
give attention to selection, but they must also
follow up closely the work done day by day during
the session as published in the proceedings You
must not lose touch for these members are sent
to the capital to transact your business with your
authority.
If you delegate men to shape the destiny of your
state and spend your tax money, common sense
would suggest that watchfulness of your own in
terests, regardless of the confidence you may re-
pose in your representative, would be your first
concern. 1t would also mean a larger appreciation
of his responsibilities on the part of your member.

7 ,IGHT on how the youth of this day regard their
II parents is both interesting and instructive. We
are certain, just as other elder generations have
been, that of recent years there has been IA com.
plete unsettlement of viewpoint. That old ideals
have been jostled from pedestals ruthlessly in the
upheavals of governments and the bringing to.
gether of the youth of the world in war. Truly
many changes have been wrought but old human
nature has remained pretty much the same.
1t has remained for an English girl to supply the
revised viewpoint, or if you prefer the flapper
view in an essay that has reached this side of the
ocean and is being discussed by American fathers
and mothers and applied in their own cases to
what advantage they may derive.
This young English girl does not think much of
the ability which is displayed by parents in the
training of children, though seemingly she inclines
TO the kindly belief that their intentions are fairly
good. On fathers she is especially severe, holding
them often unjust to both sons and daughters,
while the mothers, she writes, are unjust only to
daughters. Fathers, she admits, know more than
mothers, but mothers feel more, and have the merit
of standing as buffers between the fathers and
the children.
A curious statement is thai "a father has a soft

Now that there are extant billions and billions

SENTIMENT IN "PoEsY RINGS"
What Would Now Be Called Mush'ness
Was Characteristic Of Fifteenth
and Sixteenth Centuries.

The age Of sentimentality which
cropped up during the Fifteenth and
Sixteenth centuries resulted In "poesy
rings" These were regulation we'd
ding rings on which we're inscribed cpl
grams revealing the sentiments Of the
contracting parties.
Frequently the rings were inscribed
in a puzzling fashion by interlockins
the names of the bride and groom.
One bears the inscription, "gAeIoHrPg-
OeS," which reads George to the left
and Sophia to the right. Then. again,
stones were used to spell out the name.
Sophia" would be represented by a
sapphire, opal, peridot, hyalte, iolite
and amethyst, the first letter Of each
stone spelling out the names.
She was proud Of her rings, this
medieval woman-so proud that she
coulu not bear to hide them with
gloves. When she went out to func-
lions that required the wearing OF
gloves she wore variety that had the
ower part of the fingers slit so that
he gold and precious stones could peep
through. ft.

VICTIMS OF SAVAGE CRUELTY
Skeletons Of slaves Found In Royal
Tomb Mute Evidence Of Horrors
Of Past Ages.

Mr.. willis, an English official In the
government service of the Sudan at
Omdurman. told me strange tale out
of his experience up the White Nile.
1t was a story Of how he had been
present at the opening Of some ancient
tomb, think at Meroe. With q party
of psychologists and excayators he had
penetrated a long passage leading to
the royal chamber, where king and
queen OF ancient Ethiopia lay buried In
state.
But the passage was choked with
thirty or moro skeletons heaped here
and there on the floor, or leaning
against the walls in distorted positions,
or In corners, with knees drawn up
under the chin.
It was obvious that they were the
skeletons of slaves who had been en-
tombed alive. that they might accom-
pany their master into the dark realm
whittier he was bound.
The agony of horrible fate still
chung to these pitiful bones, the cham
bers still seemed to echo, after the I'M
counted thousands Of years. with the
beating of desperate hands on pitiless
walls.-Gertrude Emerson, In Asia

II He Kept On.

In Georgia they tell of young
clergyman, newly settled over large
parish, who had occasional fits of en-
barrassment when standing before his
congregation.
One Sunday, after reading notice OF
woman's missionary meeting to be
held Ia the chapel few days later,
he endeavored TO add a special appeal
of his own for large attendance.
After stating that 1t was to be a
meeting Of great interest and import
ance,. he said 1--WE, the women OF this
congregation
With flushed countenance ne
stopped and retraced his steps.

This was no better, and he beat
blushing retreat by saying: Let US

GEO. B. COATES
RECEIVES PATENT

Geo. B. Coates OF Little Willow
has secured a patent from the U
I S. Patent Office, ON simple little
device to attach to milk bucket to
support the bucket between the
knees while the COW is being MIXED
The arrangement is certainly very
complete in its construction and can
be so cheaply manufactured that
every owner of a COW can afford TO
own one of these appliances. When
attached to the bucket, the supports
are operated by the raising and low
ering OF the bale. When the bucket
is placed between the knees the
lowering of the bale throws out on
each side cross bar or support which
rests on the knees holding the bucket
In place without the slightest effort,
when the bale is raised, the supports
automatically raise to an upright
position and are entirely out OF the
way.
This Is a very simple arrangement
and should be manufactured and put
on the market not to exceed $1.0O
each and when once introduced
should find ready sale. 1t is usually
the simple and small invention that
results in big returns. and we antici-
pate that Mr.. Coates will make a
fortune from his invention.
