NAGGING HELPS SOMETIMES

Judge John w. Summerfeld is authority for the statement
that nagging sometimes does a husband good.
1t is probably upon the principle that we all need petty an
noyances in order to develop patience and poise.
The philosopher sees some use in our friend the devil. There
could be no courage without danger, there is no virtue without
resist a desire for excess.
Evil is a shadow, and where there is no shadow there can
hardly possibly be any light.
In the same way fees and insects of all sorts are needed
in order to keep us alert.
Reasoning in this line it may be a good thing for a man to
be nagged a bit to keep him from going stale.
1t would not do for him to have things too easy. Character
does not develop in a uniformly favorable environment.
his philosophic height is largely determined by how he responds
to it when it comes his way.
He can either be iritated or annoyed by it, or he can de-
Eberately hold his course and ignor it. 1t can make him a lesser
man or u greater man, according as he uses it.
Anyhow he cannot help himself, and he ought to study how
to turn this disagreeabe element of his surroundings to his adj
vantage.
In a play some time ago called Lonesome Like" a man who
had been used all his life to being nagged was suddenly called
upon to undergo the death of the nagger. He enjoyed his liberty
for a while, but finally got SO lonesome that he took up with his
grandmother just because she scoded him. He found out that
he was very lonesome without this continual female supervision.
A man can get used to anything, and probably he can turn nag
ging to his advantage and comfort.

The first real break


The great silence-brought on
when the mayor informed me he
would send for me when he wanted
me-continued through the summer.
The newspapers discussed the silent
period and began to predict my dis
nissal.
My insistence upon carrying out
the mayors pledge to the people in
tensifed the situation.
On Sept. IL, 1924, I attacked the
civil service commission when 1 dis
covered they had been reinstating po-
licemen discharged during the prev
ious administration.
We also turned our attention to
the flood of industrial alcohol, freed
on Government permits, which
flowed from permit holders to boot
leggers. In two months intensive
work we managed to dam the flood to
a great extent.
Meanwhile the effort to wipe out
the $154,OOO deficit in the widows

Puzzle a Day

Between sessions Senator Brook
hart told this story to his favorite
page boy: "Three partners owned a
small sheep farm. They kept the
sheep out in the field during the
day, but when night came the sheep
were lodged in a huge barn. This
barn was divided into numerous
stalls. The partners took turns at
bringing the sheep in for the night.
And any one of their wives could
tell, by merely glancing in the stable,
which man had done the work on
that particular day, for each had a
different method Of bedding the
sheep. The oldest farmer always
put three sheep in one stall. The
roly-poly partner put four In a stall,
and the youngest man crowded
seven sheep into a stall. However,
it was the custom Of all three men
to bed the leader and his mate
alone in the first stall.
Under these conditions, what is
the fewest number of sheep that
these farmers could possess?
Last puzzle answer:
The scale bearing the burden Of
Chief Two Moon, his wife and pa
poose tipped at 800 pounds. Mrs.
Two Moon weighs 80 pounds more
than her husband and baby. or 210
pounds. Her baby weighs S7la per
cent less than her husband or one
eighth Of Chief Two Moons weight.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-04-20

1t therefore weighs 20 pounds and
Chief Two Moon weighs s times 20
or 100 pounds. To solve this prob
lem subtract 80 pounds from 800
pounds and divide that answer by ,.
This gives $50 pounds or the joint
weight Of baby and father. Add 30
pounds to $50 pounds and you get
the mothers weight.

City Saved 100000
AS a matter Of fact, we saved the
city about 100000 in two years on
uniforms, by purchasing them all
together.
But the mayor didn't want these
uniforms, regardless Of the saving.
He refused to order them. The city

Soon the mayor let it be known

dismissed me.
The people Of the city seemed to
be angry and excited. The mayor,
feeling the pulse of public sentiment,
put off sending the letter from day
to day. saying he would not send it
until l returned from my sick bed.
At one time he accused me of ma

had gratifying increase in March OF
about $4,000 tons, reaching SS,573 tons,
another record breaking figure. Some
of the benefits to be gained by this
large increase in consumption is off
set by the low export shipments which
have now been prevailing for the past
nine months. During March but A.
973 tons of copper was exported.
In March France took 32 per cent
of the export copper, Great Britain
1S per cent, Germany Is per cent Bel
gium per cent anG Italy 8 per cent.
France is in the market in larger pro-
portion than usual while Germany is
far below its accustomed quota. The

fected by the United States discussion
