service? And what a TODD about
nothing!
For even in these decadent days
and regardless of whether we put
it in or leave it out, the husband
who is worthy of obedience general
ly gets it.
No intelligent man should wish to
exact servlle submission from a
wife; he asks, instead, like a rea-
sonable human. that his wishes be
considered.
And no wife, who possesses any
sense at all, ever obeys her husband
simply because the word appeared
in her wedding ceremony, but be-
cause she loves him and wishes to
please him, because she realizes that
in the fundamentals OF existence he
is wiser than she; because she knows
that he has had a great deal more

ONE STOLEN
HORSE

"r the convention Of the Ma,
IAI tional Horse Thief Deteo-
IL tive Association-compris-
ing delegates from Indiana, Ohio
and Illnois-now in session at
Frankfort, Ind, the secretary
stated only one stolen horse was
reported to the association in In
diana last year.
There are 1880 horse thief
sleuths in the State, It is said.
And one stolen horse! My, what
exhausting, perilous lives these
volunteer detectives must lead in
pursuance of their official duties.
That one equine animal should
be placed on exhibition. 1t is the
only horse alive that has 1880
detectives for it's protection.
OF course members Of the order
performed other services during
the year. Two COWS and 126 auto
mobiles were reported to them as
stolen and presumably the per-
petrators relentlessly tracked. In
all they claim to have brought 700
thieves to justice in the year. Be-
sides assisting in the search Of
automobiles and homes for Demon
Rum.
Perhaps their activities as de-
tenders of law and order Justify
the existence Of the associations.
But few regular deputy sheriffs
or a moderate sized police force
could make a more imposing rec
ord of law enforcement activity.
Indiana does not need for main
tenance of public order or private
protection an armed force-exist-
ing unofficially and by virtue Of
an archaic statute, subject to no
control by public authorities
greater than the army of Wash
ington commanded in the Revolu-
ton.
The law enforcement record of
the Horse Thief Detective Asso-
Citations is the best argument for
their disarmament and disband-
ment.

Criticism
By Hal Cochran

Are you of the brand that IL al
ways on hand to pick other people
to pieces? The worlds full of folks
who make sarcastic jokes on others.
The habit ne'er ceases.
How people get fun, out Of razzing
that's done, is something I can't I'M
derstand. What queer brand of
pleasure that comes in full measure
when some one is constantly panned.
This habit, adhered to, when folks
are referred to, can only be harmful
at best. We shout that and this
when a friends gone amiss. Yea,
we must git 1t out of our chest.
1t surely is so. and we all ought
to know that there's nobody perfect,
by far. The real type of friend Is
the one, in the end, who can praise
folks, whatever they are.
Let's all put a halt to the finding
of fault. Let's all try a plan that
is new. Put knocks on the shelf
you'll be savin' yourself, for, how
near to perfect are YOU?

LANS are being made by L.
III land Stanford University to
III take over and perpetuate the
work of Luther Burbank, famous
throughout the world as "the plant
wizard"
Burbank has been carrying on his
work for oveer fifty years. Most of
it was done upon a thirteen-acre
farm at Sebastopol, Conoma County,
California.
He is now an old man and for
two years has been getting the farm
into shape to turn over to some rec
ognized scientific organization. Ac-
cording to William G.. McAdoo, a
member of the special committee
handling the matter for Stanford
University, the university plans to
raise a special endowment fund
which will make 1t possible for re-
search workers to continue Bur
banks experiments indefinitely.
The Sebastopol farm at the pres
ent time includes more than $4,000
hybrid walnut trees, over 1000 new
hybrid plum and prune trees and
many varieties of new hybrid cherry
trees.
Although Burbank is usually
thought of as a Californian, he comes
from, New England stock, having
been born on a farm at Lancaster,
Mass, in 1S49. He was the thir-
teenth child in his family.

SCHOOL PLANS TO CARRY
ON WORK OF BURBANK

He spent his youth on the farm
and then attended the local academy.
He went to work in a factory next,
but the work was too combining for
his health, so he returned to farm
ing.
He soon began to experiment with
the development of improved plants
through the processes Of selection
and cross fertilization.
The first process means simply
saving the seeds only from the most
desirable plant of a group, planting
these next season, and continuing
this selective process so as to weed
out the poor plants and increase the
number of desired plants.
The second process is one by
which new or hybrid plants are pro-
duced by using pollen from one
plant to fertilize a different type of
plant.
Burbank's first production was
the so-called Burbank potato. The
United States Department Of Ag-
riculture estimates that more than
seventeen million dollars worth of
Burbank potatoes have been raised
by farmers Of the United States
since the plant wizard developed 1t.
Burbank has performed more than
100000 distinct breeding expert.
ments on the Sebastopol farm.
These involved the use OF more than
5000 different species Of plants
gathered fro mall parts Of the world.

THE STUDENT PRINCE" COMING
TO GARDEN PIER THEATRE


The Messrs. Lee and j. j. Shubert's
gorgeous production of "The Student
Prince in Heidelberg" the greatest
of all light operas and acclaimed
the perfect musical show" will be
the attraction extraordinary at the
Garden Pier Theatre, Atlantic City,
beginning Saturday, July 4th.
The beautiful romatic story, fairly
thrilling in many of its aspects,
sprinkled with the most delicious
comedy, reaching the pinnacle of ar
tistry in it's presentation and set to
soul-stirring music, comes to Atlantic
City with an enviable record of sue
cess behind it, 1t has played for
thirty-fve weeks in New York City,
twenty weeks in Chicago and has
just closed fourteen weeks engage
ment in Philadelphia.
More than 100000 persons have
seen and enjoyed to the fullest this
wonderful entertainment that marks
a new era and new standard of OPP
eratta. The books and lyrics of "The
Student Prince in Heidelberg" are by
Dorothy Donnelly, the music is by
Sigrnund Romberg. The company
numbers over one hundred and fifty
and includes wonderful male chorus

will o. the wisp" cannot be denied.
Just why this condition has existed,
is largely matter for speculation.
Doubtlessly there are many contri-
buting reasons, among which might
be included such as: our proximity
to larger retail centers as Burling-
ton and Riverside; the fact that the
frequent trips of many of our people
to Philadelphia prevent our isolation,
as well as the limited population
from which to draw. But today,
with a GROWN town, many think a
change for the better is slowly TAX
ing place, and that our merchants
are gradually raising the standards
of their business, to enable them to
capture, with increasing numbers,
the housewives elusive dollars.
A recent increase in trolley fare
from ia cents to Is cents for few
minutes ride to Burlington, is looked
upon as probable boost to local
trade, making an outside shopping
trip less attractive. Right now, a
movement has been started among
local merchants, to protect their bus
mess from the inroads of itinerant
vendors. A petition signed by our
local bank and most of the tradeSmen
asking Council to pass an ordinance,
requiring outside dealers to pay a
vendors license fee aad come under
municipal supervision, has been pre-
pared aad will no doubt receive fav-
orable attention from Council.

ESTABLISHING BAD
PRECEDENTS

To put it mildly, the attitude OF
the President of Common Council
last Thursday evening may Justly be
viewed with alarm. 1t is to be sim
cerely hoped that his refusal to al
low taxpayer to speak upon the
floor of Common Council Chamber
will not establish a precedent which
other over-zealous chainen, in the
future, might use against us.
AS in the present case, such an
expression of contempt for the pub.
lie, would always prove unpopular
The affront offered to Mr.. Charles
Adams, last Thursday evening, was
not directed against him in particular
nor apparently for any personal rea-
sons. and it is therefore to be re-
garded as an insult to every citizen
of Beverly. The discourtesy would
presumably, have been received by
anyone of us had we requested the
floor to speak upon local question
at that time
A created body cannot rise higher
than those who create il, nor can
Council become mightier than the
voters who hold the ultimate power.
Resentment of such breach, and
justly so, for every voter knows his
rights and privileges as we'll as those
of the individual he places in high
office. The act of our President is a
faux pas without parallel even dur
ing the most turbulent sessions of
pre-war councils, during their most
bitter factional fights, the right of a
citizen to speak, was always respect
ed More clever men let us have
our little say, even though our words
were not always needed. A most in
teresting phase of the situation is in
the fact that the citizens present at
the recent meeting, were unanimous
in condemning the Presidents act.
Not one word in his defense could
be heard from them. So we repeat
that such conduct deserves to be
most severely frowned upon. A pub
lie apology to Mr.. Adams and thru
him to every citizen of Beverly,
could not now but be considered
timely, with the hope of preventing
the establishment of most unsavory
precedent.
