A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Is not the life more than meat, and the
body more than rain1ent9 Behold the
fowls of the air; for they Sow not, neither
do they reap nor gather into barns; yet
your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are
We not much better than they9 And why

moron is cast into the open, shall He not
much more clothe you, O ye of little

viding for biennial sessions be submitted to
the electorate The Bay State General AS
sembly, however does not appear to be over
ly we'll impressed with the proposal. If ira
dition is to give way to economy, business
wisdom evidently must bestire itself The
Governor is supported by What one observer
calls "the growing sentiment for fewer
laws" and also by the fact that under the,
existing system the Legislature may take its
own time about adjourning-a liberty that
makes for lettering.
From Washington State, where Legislative
sessions are biennial and are confined to six
ty days, comes this comment by the Seattle
Times: ''It has often been proposed to limit
the session to forty days. Theoretically, the
longer the consideration given to legislative
enactments, the better they are; but in
practice it does not work out that way. The
most marked tendency is to pass more laws
than are needed. Legislators feel that they
should employ themselves at making laws,
so that they take up every conceivable sub
ject and rake over the records for laws to
amend. The net result is unwarranted ex-
pense to taxpayers and batch of laws of
doubtful wisdom"
Excess of new statutes comes largely from
the popular notion that every i'll, economic
and social as well as political, can be rene
died by law. While such falacy is given
rein, there will be little relief on this score,
even in biennial sessionslimited to forty
days. But the temptation to wordiness and
doubt, in biennial sessions of a prescribed
term. Such is the trend Of public opinion
in States where annual sessions still obtain.

MARRYING FOR MONEY
BY MRS. W.
tn HE Sunday papers have been running
various biographies, with plenty Of pic

various biographies, with plenty of pic
lures entitled, How / Captured an
American Heiress They did not run her
down with track dogS-nor did they Waylay
'any of them on the highway, fling shawl
over their heads and bring them in bound
hand and foot, as real captives
The money-chasers showed title the
heiresses displayed bank book The very
minute some American families become i'm
mensely wealthy, the titled roue foreigner,
the broken-down lounge lizard, gets his
feet and proceeds to chase her money down.
And they not averse to the chasing,
these newly rich with more money than
common sense. In France these titles are
largely visionary France claims to be re-
public 1t is not an American republic q
mean copy of our government), and Paris
is known to be utterly abandoned to fast liv-
ing and loose morals with its population of
both sexes. These titled men could not hold
place or position in American social life, and
it would be wise law to deport the wives
of these marquises and counts, to the soil of
France and to send their money on the same
ship which conveys the newly-wed.
Marrying for money is an everyday occur
renee sometimes in even poor old Georgia
Vamp women are eager to catch rich old
fellow and hold him until he makes a mar
riage settlement, or provides alimony in
divorce settlement. 1t is the money they are
seeking and when the money is in their
hands they have got all they went after, and
then they are anxious to let the rich fool go
his own way thereafter, to bear his ultimate
burden.
The full details are printed iii the every
day newspapers. These newspapers are
taken into very house, or borrowed to read
in other houses. Young men and young
women read things while they are in high
schools, and the co-eds gossip over these
details on the school grounds together What
sort of education would you call it? Per-
haps this is the degeneracy that follows in
the wake of war, and the real result of the
war with Germany, to our people.
It is one of the remarkable things that
American soldiers retained on the Rhine to
keep order in Germany for three years after
the armistice, brought home German wives
and half-German babies when they were
shipped back to their native country, the
United States. There is nothing to the dis
credit Of either the plain soldier or the Ger
man wives that came back with them. Bet
ter marry than burn" is proverb of long
standing.

sour? E. B.

of which are stimulated by sweet things and
others by sour. These are known as taste
buds and because of the functtoring of these
buds. We are able to differentiate between
sweet and sour.

THE COUNTRY HOME
by MPS W Il EEL TON

What sort of recolections will be trans
mitted to these half-German babies when
they are all to be told of what happened in
Europe during the World war? VIII it be a
hozanna or anathema?
The rich ones, who have bartered off
American dollars to the greedy foreigners,
that has no value in either coin or bank
checks should be allowed to fill up the ranks
cover there" Who in America can retain
worthy interest in an American girl who at
eighteen years has agreed to marry some
foreigner make-believe of a man sixty-fve
years old, because he owns some kind of
worthless title? Some of our chief militants
were willing to have title conferred on
themselves by the King of England. Titles
are like measles, catching when they get in
the atmosphere of dukes and lords and
knights of the bath over in Great Britain
Can YOU wonder that silly little heiresses like
to be tllled lady countess, duchess, and such
like? When they want to go so badly, why
not urge them to depart? If they continue
to make their riches over here, then tax it
until they must carry it over to the land of
titles and distribute it, as we are told it is
distributed by the so-called dukes, marquises,
counts and knights of the bath, who only toll
crate us with me ney donations and give us
the cold shoulder when the money ceases to
flow like the Gulf stream on the shores of
the Atlantic.
The rich heiresses going over and the
plain little German wives coming back
without money. Which will be the best
mothers to raise soldiers for another World
war?

THE THINGS THAT FEBRUARY BROUGHl

r ANUARY nineteen twenty-fOur was a
tough old customer but February
- nineteen twenty-four, is a record break
err 1 could remain within the bounds OF
reason when I say more coal was burned
in the twenty-nine days of passing February
than January, and that is saying mouthful.
We have had mild winters for five years
up to the new year nineteen twenty-four,
but we have to give the medal to February,
now hurrying away into oblivion.
Maybe the cold weather will cripple old
man Boil Weevl.
If our farmers will take the pains to kill
the old things on planting seed, before they
put the seed in the ground, it will help.

have gone to their long home because OF

DECORATION DAY

Continued from page L.
A double quartet consisting of Mark
Hoskins, Oscar Wright, Arthur Corner
and Frank Ralph and Mrs. Ora Slit
ger, Mrs. Louis Arhelger, Mrs. A. b.
Cook and Charlotte Grebe with Miss
Hazel Ward at the piano rendered
two patriotic numbers.
Richard Goodell, Platteville attor-
ney, made the address of the after
noon. He paid a fine tribute to Lam
casters part IN the Civil and World
wars and to the veterans assembled.
Mr.. Goodell stressed devotion to the
flag and said that the first duty OF
every citizen was to give his life for
it if necessary. By the same token
each citizen was protected in his just
rights by the flag. His remarks, ne
cessarily of some length, were given
respectful attention by an audience
that filled the Grantland to the doors.
Invocation was pronounced by the
Rev. Mclaughlin and benedlct1on by
the Rev Grossheim.
The spirit of the day was carried
out in all respects sports and other
features of an ordinary holiday being
dispensed with as far as Lancaster
was concerned. The movement for a
patriotic and serious observance OF
Decoration day is growing all over
the country.

HARDY BANK CASE UP THURSDAY

The case of the state banking COM
mission VS. George Hardy the Chicago
banker, is set for trial this week and
will probably be heard Thursday.
Mr.. Hardy loaned $4,000 to the Peo-
pies State Bank just before it closed
last June, taking a mortgage on the
building. The commissioner, acting
for the bank, will endeavor to show
that the loan was made without the
authority of the board of directors of
the bank and that Hardys claim
should not be considered as a prefer
red claim but rather as a general
claim. If the court holds in the COM
missioner's favor the building will be
included with the banks assets. If
the case is decided for Hardy the lat
ter will probably foreclose the mort
gage.
