There has been great deal of talk lately about the spread of the yellow peoples and especially of the Japanese. 1t seems to me no race which does not indulge in kissing has chance to spead very far. Young men who go to war like to be sent away with a kiss; such things fire young soldiers with the spark of heroism and conquering deeds of valor.
 If were a soldier would be iR
 no special hurry to return from
 war unless I knew the girl who
 kissed mo on my way was waiting
 to kiss me on my return.
 But there is another significance to this censorship. This involves the literature of a nation. Think of how sadly the poets would be handicapped unless they could write odes to lips that should be kissed and in Japan wouldn't bel

Hopelessly unattractive! That just about describes the old Rollins house. People called us crazy when we talked of buying it. But it was sturdily built, and the location was excellent. Moreover, we had the Barrett Book. So we laughed at our critics and went ahead.

Fortunately, such cen sorship is not universal European coun- tries-France particularly-conside kissing among the fine arts.

My NeighborSays

When you have potatoes left over from a meal do not peel, as cold potato keeps better with the jacket on. If peeled it dries on the out side and must be trimed before using, and that is wasteful. Also, an econ omical way to prepare mashed po- tatoes is to boil them in their jackets, peel and them mash.
 
 An easy way to clean white gloves is to nearly fill a glass fruit jar with gasoline, then put in the gloves and soak for about five minutes. Take one out, lay it on a clean towel and rub quickly, gently, with another clean towel toward tips of fingers. This is very quickly done, and if the gloves are badly soiled do it sscosi time. Hang line for full dsy 10 air properly.

Of course, Japan has always been prejudiced against kissing. Indeed, it simply isn't done in Japan. Japan is an old country. Japan has some ancient customs which are almost sacred.
 A young couple in Japan attracted to each other in the spark of an eH bracing elation pat each other on the back, or do something of that kind and this is supposed to have the same effect as a kiss.
 Obviously, this is to be doubted.
 A pat on the back may be inter
 preted as an act of hostility in
 some places, rather than an indi.
 cation of affection. There is, on
 some occasions, very little differ
 ence between a pat and a punch.

There is nothing truer than the old proverb about marrying in haste and repenting in leisure. There are plenty of chances in matrimony without taking chance on starving to death. The successful homes are those that have under them a good, strong financial plank. They are founded on sense and reason and in them no haggard man lies awake wondering how he is to find the money for the rent and no pale mother weeps because she cannot give her chil- dren the advantages she had.

A man is a fool who marries be- fore he has got scarcely on his feet, and a woman shows that her selfish ness is greater than her love of she urges him to sacrifice his future to her desire to possess him a little sooner.

For a man to marry before he can afford it nearly always means that he dooms himself to stay at the bot tom of the ladder. He cannot climb with the weight of a family on his back.

UNION LABEL
URGED UPON DELEGATES

At the recent convention of the In
ternational Typographical Union held
in Toronto. Canada, an amendment
was offered to the laws of that or
ganization which would provide that
No delegate shall be entitled to a
seat in the convention whose wearing
apparel does not bear at least eight
union labels"
As is necessary under the rules,
this proposition was referred to the
committee on laws which reported
out substitute reading as follows:
mo member of subordinate union
shall be eligible to election as dele
gate whose wearing apparel does not
bear at least five union labels"
The substitute of the committee was
adopted. In speaking upon this
proposition before the convention,
Secretary Treasurer Hays, who is
president of the Union Label Trades
Department of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, had the following to
I say:

prised that in a convention that has
two propositions before it asking the
executive council to finance label cam
paigns, there should be any word
said against any proposition that
looks for the furtherance of the use
of the union label.
eve expect to do considerable or
ganization work in the near future.
We must do considerable organiza-
ton work, in fact, and one of the
best methods of organizing that we
have, that which is the closest to us,
and most effective, is to have bust
ness houses demand the use of the
union label on their printing. We al
ways demand that every labor organ
ization use our union label on it's
printing. If they did not use it we
would certainly make an awful kick,
even carrying it to the American
Federation of Labor, to see that the
label was used. That being true,
should we not support the other or
CARNATIONS in the use of their la
bells?
at has been said that you should
not force members of an organization
to do things of this kind. say that
the union label is one of the best
weapons that organized labor has to
compel employers to run union estab-
lishments. If the members of labor
organizations would not spend any
