More Or Less True

More Or Less True
 The only time a wife is sure to be on time is when she knows her husband is counting on her being an hour late as usual.
 The car in the garage and the clothes in daughters closet ex- plain why so many grocers get writer's eramp entering charges on their books.
 The prize fool is the poor boob who thinks the little gold dig ger is madly in love with him be- cause she so thoroughly enjoys having him spend all his money on her,
 The servant problem never gets to be much of worry in a lot of homes as long as mother is able to keep on hef feet
 Some flappers look like they had dressed in the dark and couldn t find their clothes.
 An average wife is one who would rather be able to boast about her husbands s money than listen to him brag about his ances- tors.
 Now that children raise them selves mother would have an easy time if the meals would take over the job of getting themselves and the dishes of washing themselves.
 Love is a wonderful thing, but it doesn't take woman, who has married for it, long to discover it is a darn poor substitute for eats and what the neighbors have.
 It wouldn't be any use for wc- men to have chance to live their lives over again knowing what they do nowhere wouldn't be enough mlllionaires to go round.
 Many a girl wishes she had been born a man so she could wear long pants and not have to worry about the shape of her legs.

Tree Program Planned.
Cincinnati Enquirer ]

The Enquirer most cordially indorses the ties in Ohio to create the position of Forester under the Jurisdiction of Park Departments and trust that City Manager Sherrll at the January session of the State Legislature may successfully secure definite favorable action in support of this proposal
 It goes without saying that the Cincinnati contingent in the Legislature will back this interesting bill, which proposes to authorize the creation of trust fund for the planting and maintenance of trees along public highways and also to permit, under proper method assessments against abutting property for this service
 Assessment procedure under the present law IS cumbersome and the necessary legislation too excessively costly; it involves also great and unnecessary delay
 Tree planting, and culture constitute q civic duty and activity not lightly to be esti- mated. The lessons of the Old World. both en- eouraging and depressing, are before us This new land needs never to be without trees-trees Tn US reserves trees in its parks and along it's city thoroughfares along it's public highways and on its farms
 In recent years have learned a great daa1 concerning the value of trees, and entirely aside rom the question of their commercial worth We nave come to know that they are needed in tbe interest of the public health, and that tbe;r aesthetic value is beyond computation
 Colonel Sherrill is right in pointing to tho oity or Washington with it's wonderful tree svs tenn as an example well worthy of emulation
