But he really cares little about
this proof. What he wants is a
confession of guilt. If she would
confess, he tells her, he would for
give her. In the meantime, he makes
her suffer, mentally and physically.
Cruel? He would deny such an
accusation vigorously He thinks
himself Just" He believes he loves
his wife.
He probably even believes he
would forgive her if she confessed.
But the forgiveness" of such men
usually is a matter of words, soon
forgotten.

HOGS RISE TO s11.50
Highest Mark in Two Years Touched
at Local Market.

Hog prices established the highest
level in two years today at Indian-
apolis stockyards, when top price
was S11.50. Increase was due to
heavy pressure from light receipts
and broadened demand. Price be-
gan to go up last Monday.
Bulk of sales were moving at
s11.25 and $11.40. Receipts were
1000. Opinion of traders was that
the increase would continue due to
a hog scarcity throughout the coun-
try.

thing that anyone can afford to
throw in nowadays.
One would suppose that even a
glimmering of the facts about tax
alton would stir everyone of voting
age to try to protect his pocketbook.
But many people are mentally too
lazy to try to comprehend these
things and physically too lazy to
walk to the polls.
The voting strength of the coun-
try is divided into three groups, IT.
respective Of party. First, the So
called machine politicians. Controll-
led by them is strong body of
voters, organized and held together
by office, promise of office, sine
cures, jobs, favors, more or less
"honest graft" and various forms of
easily understood self-interest. No
matter how competent a candidate
may be he must usually, especially
in our large cities, compromise to
some extent with this group if he
wants to hold office. 1t is the minor
ity group between elections, but al
most always the majority one at the
polls, because all its members vote
to order and carry along with them
a number of fathcads who vote by
carmen who strut proudly forth
to the polls at the turkey call of the
orator, or to the beguiling notes of
sthe political propagandist.
The secondhand it is the ma ority
groups made up Of the inorganic
ed, inarticulate and too often I'M
registered. 1t includes those who
are too proud to vote, too busy to
vote, or too stupid to vote. 1t tries
to work from the top down and not
from the bottom up. I will vote for
aSPresident, but not for a council
man. It is passionately concerned
over the League Of Nations, cancel
lation of war debts and our duty to
Europe, but it has small time for
primaries, taxation and our duty to
our town. 1t is swayed by profess
sional reformers and theorists, but
businesslike proposal by a business
man that would better the condition
of everyone leaves it cold.
The members of this group may
be either Democrats or Republicans,
but it does not make much difference

the items were not separated in such
u way that you could approve some
and disapprove others. You had to
take as a whole or leave them. You
voted yes. "They always vote yes"
as a cynical politician put it the
other day, because it does not occur
to them that they are going to pay
for these improvements out of their
own intensely personal pay envelopes
and bank accounts"
Public improvements are good
thing, but before you order them
you should ask yourself the same
questions that you ask when you are
considering a private purchase: DO
need them and can l afford them?
If you decide that you can afford
the public improvements it is up to
you to see that you get your moneys
worth for you will personally be
putting large percentage Of your
income into them. The voters at
titude has always been that the
country is rich and that it can stand
it. Are you rich enough to stand it {?
For you are the country and you
pay the bills.
The rent that you pay for your
house is affected and raised not only
by municipal taxes but by Federal
and state ones as well. Also the
price of steak is unfavorably in
fluenced from the buyers point of
view by the gasoline tax, the anthra-
cite tax, the mercantile tax, the per-
sonal-property tax, the income tax,

other taxes that the butcher must
pay either directly or Indirectly, add
to his overhead and pass over to You
the ultimate consumer and ultimate
goat-wrapped up with your three
pound sirloin. You reply that your
butcher does not have to pay either
corporation or an income tax. Per-
haps not, but the packer does. And
a part of every tax that he pays
is added to the cost of every side
of beef that goes into the butchers
shop. He, in turn, must hand over
to you with every steak and lamb

part of his own, plus little extra

circumspect and give us much better
government than we deserve or have

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

There was to be party in the
House That Jack Built! A. sort
Of house warming, you might say,
for the house was just finished,
and Jack and his mother and Jill,
his sister, had just moved from their
old house on Pippin Hill to the pref
ty little cottage on Broom Street,
named in honor of Mother Goose.
Jack thought they ought to change
the name of the street to Dust
Pam in honor of Daddy Gander, as
Mother Goose was away So much,
but Daddy. Gander wouldn't hear to
it. He said it was bad enough to
have, one secret to keep without an
other one to worry him. He meant
the secret about the sign that he
and Tom Tinker had Changed round
the sign which said Mother Goose
Her Land!" They had turned it
over and printed Daddy Gander His
Land" on the other side. -
Well, anyway, the party in Jack S
House on Broom Street was going to
be a wonderful affair. Peter Peter
Pumpkin Eater helped to decorate,
and to use his own words, as he had
more empty pumpkin shells than
fifty growing Holsters, he said he
would cut Jack O. Lantern faces on
every one and put candles inside,
provided the Candle-stick Maker
would donate them for nothing.
What's that, my dears? Fifty
growing Holsters wouldn't have any
pumpkin-shells? Why, of course
not, they would leave empty lobster
shells! How stupid of me! But do
believe you knew what l meant. all
the time.
But to get back to the partyi If
we don't stop talking. about decora-
lions and lobster-shells and so on,
the party will be over and there
won't be any room to tell about it.
And Missez Peter, who was no end
grateful for the Twins, helping her
to get nice new dress, Offer ed to
make some pumpkin pies.
SO l will say the :Peterses did their
part to make the, party success.
And the Bakerman, sent word that
as there would likely be few like
Jack Horner, who didn't care for
pumpkin, he would. be most happy
to bake big mince pie and mark it
with ~" instead Of "T". He didn't
say whether the %" was to be in
honor of Jack or Jill or Jack Horner.
But perhaps it was for all of them.
That for pies!
And there was to be cider! The
apples grew SO thick and juicy on
Pippin Hill. that Jacks mother had
had; several barrels. pressed into
cider. And, indeed; it was reported
t.lats it was her own good ~cider-vine-
gar that had cured the little boys
head when he fell.
And they had ice-cream and cake,
too! But there! I'll have to tell you
about the party tomorrow. I've be-
Cun at the wrong end and told about

| am wondering, .'Sydy why it is
that | am not more furious over
the situation. Why should Leslie
ask some other mans advice and
why should that other man think
he had to write to tell her to go and
see his own. attorneys?
/ don't mind telling you that my
heart stood still when I read that
cablegram. OF course the first thing
thought of was Leslie was think
ing of getting divorce from me.
But | really could not see any rea-
son for that, for l have been per-
fectly true to her ever since our
marriage, and while I have perhaps
been less attentive to her than
might have bee, surely she must
understand that after marriage life
is something besides n series of
moonlight and flowers and thrills.
OF course ! know ] hurt her pride
most terribly when sent her4o her
father for money. No woman wants
to confess to her family that she has
not only married an ass, but one who
will use her TO get him out of Il
tight scrape.
1 have the greatest contempt for
myself, Sgd, every time | think of
that episode.
| know she was not only greatly
disappointed in me, but the fact that
she had to tell her father some
trumped-up excuse or by telling him
the truth, explain that she had mar
ried n man who was less honorable
than she had thought, must have
almost broken her heart.
