The Early Diet of Our Editor
By pr. Walter F. Traprook

By pr. Walter F. Trsprock
 An anecdote which recall Is particularly appropriate at this time, for 1t deals with the youth Of the entsrprising editor of the Fun Shop.
 He will not remember it, for 1t occurred when little Maxson was an infant just out of arms. His outstanding attribute. as with most children of tender age, was appetite. Most infants show an ostrich.like indifference to quality in pabulum. All Is food that comes within reach, be 1t a marble, rub Der eraser, or a piece of string. Maxson was different.
 His grand passion was scraps of newspaper or the pages of maga- zines. Time and again a cry of alarm rang through the house when the little fellow was heard chok- ing. and a mass of wsll-chewed literature was pried from his re. sisting jaws.
 Being Of a curious nature, I ex- amined the rescued material and was struck by the fact that every scrap of paper he had attempted to bolt contained a joke, verse, or humorous anecdote. Moreover, his selections were all good ones, the indifferent items being thrown aside or elected after test-chew His watchful parents were able tc prevent too large diet of thi! sort but the boy undoubtedly swal' lowed tremendous quantity o hand picked humor at an age wher his contemporaries were satisfying themselves with the dry fare O

Before and After Taking-Her When life was sweet and love was
 young, When tender vows from lips were
 wrung, That trembled meath a falt'ring
 tongue; When cheeks were rosy at the
 dawn And eyes were sparkling like the
 morn From which all trace Of night is
 gone: When lovelisht crowned the purple hills And danced around the rocks and
 rllls; Twas then I paid her compli- ments Nor rocked upon the eonse- quence--
 So now I pay her bills! Now life is sad, for love has fled, The blushing cheeks have lost their
 red, i Forgotten are the vows we said; The purple hills have turned to
 gray. And gone the dancing twilight
 gay,
 The night has come, gone Is the day. Small wonder life seems full of ills Since love awakens no more thrills Alas, too late my heart repents That once paid her compliments So now I must pay her bills'

BATS ARE TRAPPED

Malvern, Ark. -- The home of a local grocer was overrun with bats. In answer to his inquiry, the de- partment of agriculture told him to tack burlap over the holes that the bats were accustomed to enter.

poses, so you know it is pure and safe. You may have used it for fine laundry and found that it harms nothing that can stand the touch of pure water. Now we suggest that you use it for dishes and general laundry and cleaning, because it cleanses thoroughly while it saves your hands. As one of the millions of Ivory enthusiasts writes: "lf the woman who does her own washing will substitute Ivory Soap for the cheaper soap or washing powder she has been using, she will find the slight increase in cost more than compensated for in the improved condition of her hands. There will be no red, sore, or chapped hands following washday if she does SC"
 Remember it is always the suds that do most of the work, whatever the soap. And Ivory is famous for its Suds.
 Use Ivory for all your soap-and-water tasks try your very next washing with 1vory-see if your hands d. ~- keep their beauty all through the day.

City Officials Are In Madison Today to Aid in
the Fight Brought by City of Racine
for Cut in Rate.
CLAIM PRODUCTION COSTS LESS
Racine Filed Petition Claiming That Costs of ProduC
ton Have Lessened But That No Cut in sa@
Rate Has Been Made.

Kenosha today Joined Racine in the
fight which the latter city launched for
q lower gas rate when City Manager G.
NJ. Osborn and Assistant City Attor-
ney R. P. Cavanagh went to Madison
to appear before the railroad commits
sion at the hearing on the petition of
the city of Racine for reduction in gas
rates for service furnished by the Wis
consin Gas and Electric company, Ke-
nosha patrons of the company are
served by gas manufactured at the Ra-
cine plant and transported to Kenosha
and for that reason any cut that may be
secured for Racine will probably be
reflected in a similar cut for Kenosha.
The present rate for domestic con-
sumers is $l,S5 a thousand, There is
q sliding scale graduated to fifty cents

eording to the quantity used,
