An antique that never appears at auctions, yet certainly the chief ot them all in size, weight and general importance, not to say charm ana sentimental value, is the old central chimney, often twelve feet square at the base, upon which our New England ancestors depended for life. All other antiques are afterthoughts, auiliaries and appendages to this great head of the house, with its
 major and minor cranes, SpitS, bake ovens and hand-wrought Iron gad.

(Mildred Kirk Spain in the New York sun) Now has the cricket stilled his frantic harp. The white moth clings upon the frozen spray; But here is bloom that shimners Up from earth Holding copper fire against the gray.
 Over the field the check-rowed stubble marches Beneath the pnrtrdge-colored clouds and sky Blazing on winters hearth and will not die By night the lean fox mourns on whtened rock High where the wind and ice have set their wars While wrapped in fragrant air the soft flames sleep Tn lawn open to the westerlng stars.

OF veterans as strike breakers and

The resolution empowered officials
OF the organization to forbid members

chairman, said in his annual report
that provision should be made for "the
men who have served in the regular

He added:
AS the great organizations that are
composed of the men and women who
have served in the World War are so
chartered that they must try to get
legislation passed for their group, the
Army and Navy Union has endeavored
to help place legislation before Con-

have had no great organizations work.

We feel that in devoting most of

thousands who heretofore have been

when they served"

Treat For Gladiolus Thrips Now

Gladiolus growers who have plac-
ed last years corms in storage with
the expectation of planting or selling
them in the spring should treat them
Immediately for gladiolus thrips if
this has not been done. If treatment
is delayed until spring, the thrips
are likely to accumulate durirg g
warm periods and produce consider
able injury to the corms. The
chances of injury from the insecti-
eide are also greatly increased il
treatment is delayed until the buds
start to grow.
The corms can be treated in bags
or in trays. Naphthalene in flake
form is a cheap and effective ma
terial to use. The naphthalene should
be sprinkled over the corms at the
rate Of one ounce to 100 cOrmS or
one pound to bushel If the corms
are treated in trays, they should be
covered with burlap or old pieces of
carpet in order to confine the
fumes. G. R. Neiswander, associate
in entomology at the Ohio agricul-
ural experiment station, reports
that experiments have indicated that
this treatment will kill all of the
thrips present within two or three
weeks. If a considerable amount Of
naphthalene remains after 80 days,
it would be well to remove it in or
der to reduce the liability to injury
when the buds start to grow.

BOVINE SOCIAL REGISTER

A group of Chicago business men
who also are interested in American
milk cows, have organized to put
the common COW, who does good
job of giving milk. in the register
of cowdom. Too long, they protest,
has the bovine Who's Who listed
only the blue ribbon prize winners
of long line of heredity, and neg
lected to give place to the plain
bossy, who may not have such pride
of aristocratic ancestry, but who
does fill the pail with rich milk.
J. r. Prentice, president of the
Chicago group, says that though
there are 100000 cattle in the dairy
herd improvement associations of
the United States, only $4,000 of
them can get into the COW register
of pure-bred cattle organizations.
OF course it is right to have So
cial 400 of bossies, but they don't
need to be snooty about it. Mostly,
though they may be good milk Civ
ers, and most of them are, they're
for show and points and the like,
and pedigrees seem to count more
than performance. 1t is time, right
ly think these Chicago men, that
quantity and quality of milk shall be

ROOSEVELT'S INAUGURAL
ADDRESS JAN. 20

My Fellow Countrymen: :-When
four years ago we met to inaugurate
a president, the republic, single
minded in anxiety, stood in spirit
here. We dedicated ourselves to
the fulfillment of vision-to speed
the time when there would be for
all the people that security and
peace essential to the pursuit OF
happiness. We of the republic
pledged ourselves to drive from the
temple of our ancient faith those
who had profaned it; to end by ac-
tion, tireless and unafraid, the stag
nation and despair of that day. We
did those first things first.
Our covenant with ourselves did
not stop there. Instinctiyely we
recognized a deeper need-the need
to find through government the in
strument Of our united purpose to
solve for the individual the ever-ris-
ing problems of complex ciyiliza-
tion. Repeated attempts at their So
luton without the aid of govern
ment had left us baffled and bewil-
dered. For, without that aid, we
had been unable to create those
moral controls over the services of
science which are necessary to make
science a useful servant instead of
ruthless master of mankind To
do this we knew that we must find
practical controls over blind eco
nomic forces and blindly selfish men.
We of the republic sensed the
truth that democratic government
has innate capacity to protect it's
people against disasters once consid-

cred inevitable, to solve problems
| once considered unsolvable. We
would not admit that we could not
lind way to master economic epi-
denies just as, after centuries of
fatalistic suffering, we had found a
way to master epidemics Of disease
We refused to leave the problems of
our common welfare to be solved by
the winds of chance and the hurri-
canes Of disaster.
In this we Americans were dis
covering no wholly new truth; we
were writing new chapter in our
book of self-government.
This year marks the one hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of the Con-
stitutional Convention which made
us a nation. At that convention our
forefathers found the way out Of the
chaos which followed the Revolu-
tionary war; they created a strong
government with powers of united
action sufficient then and now to
solve problems utterly beyond indi-
vidual or local solution. A century
and a half ago they established the
federal government in order to pro-
mote the general welfare and secure
the blessings of liberty to the Amer
ican people.
Today we invoke those same pow
ers OF government to achieve the
same detectives.
Four years of new experience
have not belied our historic instinct
They hold out the clear hope that
government within communities,
government within the separate
states, and government of the United
States can do the things the times
