Economy is the only argument which will convince a man that a five-cent cigar is as good as the dime variety. The rule i» that the gent who boasts of his exploits with women gets his ideas from the Decameron instead of his own life .work. A boy who has red hair should have freckles to complete his color scheme, and he usually does, nature being a" considerable dorqrator. Mr. and Mrs. Glen Cowan have returned from their wedding trip to' Grand Rapids. Mich., where they visited with Mr. Cowan’s sister. Mrs. Fred Deininger. Tit’ Reddin’ o' Knox Tanger an’ Miss Tawney Apple, which wuz scheduled fer th' near future, has been referred t’ committee.

The Hagenbeck-Wallace circus is using a new method of advertising this summer in using the United States mails in advertising the show in the rural district. The addresses are by box number and not by narho. This system of publicity is declared to have more than met all expectations.

It is estimated that it costs on an average of $104.06 to raise a horse to the age of three years on the farms of Indiana and those of other states. The price has been carefully figured by experts of the department of agriculture, who based their figures on those furnished by ten thousand correspondents scattered throughout the country. New Mexico can raise horses cheaper than the other states, or at an average price of $69.50. In Massachusetts ths raising of colts is more expensive than in any other state, the average horse at three years representing $141.80. Postmaster J. W.

While Decatur has no one who can afford to give $20,000 for a public park,there is no reason why we shouldn't have a good one. In f-.-t. wo ought to tor we have a great opportunity. In the south part of the city is located the old lair grounds and the legislature of 1913 made it possible to utilize such property 'or just this purpose. Why not do it? We notice that the managers of the Panama exposition are offering to give to cities free of charge any of the beautiful plaster statues or buildings located there. They will last f r years anil v onld make a beautiful cnor deocraticn'to the park. t can be done. Will We?

STUTTERER IS TO BE PITIED . Nervousness and Inability to Put Thoughts Quickly Into Speech Responsible for Habit. J Nervousness and inability to put the thoughts quickly enough into speech are largely responsible for the stuttering habit and any child who show® a tendency to stutter should be dealt with patiently in order to discover whether it is merely a habit to be overcome or a more serious affliction, due to a lack of co-ordination between the muscles of the diaphragm and ribs where one is trying to breathe while others are endeavoring to articulate. Teach a child to enunciate slowly and to think what he wants to say before he tries to say it. Do not startle him by ridicule or sudden interruption. Make him start fresh when he gets twisted up and frightened at his inability to get out what he is trying to say. The knowledge that one has difficulty In pronouncing certain words often produces the very stuttering that one tries to avoid. It is tremendous mortification to a child and a serious drawback In every profession In later life, so that the confirmed stutterer is as much to be pitied as any other sufferer from infirmity, for it really is that. It usually develops in early childhood, probably from some nervous shock or fear when the youngster is in a run down condition. Famous Greek Dishes. Smyrna under Turkish misrule has been in serious danger of getting silted up and left far inland, like ancient Ephesus. This would be doubly disastrous for the Greeks, who form the vast majority of Smyrna’s population, because they might thereby be deprived not only of Smyrna but of a favorite delicacy, cuttlefish. The bloodcurdling curse called down by the chorus in the "Acharnians” upon ’’the meanest of poets and meanest of men,” that a dainty dish of octopus, for which he had been eagerly waiting, might be snatched from him by a dog, would be as quickly appreciated by modern Smyrniote Greeks as by the original audience of Aristophanes. When well beaten to make the fish tender before being dressed, and then cut into small pieces and served with a savory brown stew, a cuttlefish makes a dish by no means to be despised. The jaded epicure who pined for a "new animal” should have gone to a Greek restaurant in Smyrna and ordered stewed cuttlefish, followed by roast porcupine.—Manchester Guardian. Value of Slate. Slate has long been recognized as a most valuable roofing material, not only for its wearing qualities, due to the fact that it is a non-absorbent stone and therefore does not admit the factors of decay, but also because of its architectural value in lending itself to the development of various and attractive color schemes, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Nature did not handicap slate beds by forming all of them in one color. Here It is lavished red, there unfading green or purple and yonder the coal black or rustic gray. Os late the public agitation over the matter of fire prevention, brought forcibly home by such stupendous losses as we have suffered in the conflagrations at San Francisco, Chicago, Chelsea and Salem, has brought emphasis on the fireproof qualities of slate. All over fire chiefs are calling: “Give us fireproof roofs and the conIlagrational hazard will be reduced to a minimum.” When building codes heed their cry slate roofs will help solve the fire problem. Tobacco and the War. Much as the man in the trenches would like to smoke, he cannot smoke nearly so many cigars and cigarettes as he would at home. War .has cut down very heavily the tobacco bill of all Europe, Uncle Sam is one of the biggest tobacco salesmen on earth, but since the fighting began our sales of the weed have fallen a quarter. Measured by our exports, the soldiers at the front are saving $50,000 a day on American tobacco alone. In the grand economy of things this reduction of the smoke bill weighs but a trifle against the destruction elsewhere. It profiteth little to save a dollar on tobacco and squander a hundred on powder and shot Instructions Sought. “Everybody,” observes a New York woman, “knows one or more of those conscientious egoists who cannot rid themselves of the notion that no one can be trusted to carry out the simplest details of routine work without their personal supervision. "It was one of this sort who went West, leaving in his brother's care a parrot of which he was very fond. All the nay out he worried about the bird, and at Chicago he sent his brother the following telegram: “ ‘Be sur* to feed the parrot.’ "Whereupon the brother telegraphed back: “ Have fed him, but he is hungry i again. What shall I do next?” Bird of Evil Omen. To this day tho lapwing is a bird of evil omen among tho people of the South of Scotland. This dislike dates I from the reign of Charles 11. when, i during the persecution of the Cov- i enanlers, such as sought a hiding place on the moors were commonly discovered to their pursuers by the screams <9, the lapwings which hovered over ' them.
