NO, that one-armed scrapper down in Mexico is not an Irishman and his name isn’t O’Bregon. IT IS REPORTED that Bryan had his fingers crossed when a bishop prayed for the G. O. P. ' THE RECENT quick improvement of President Wilson suggests that his real malady was congress. SPEAKING of extravagance, up to adjournment day the Congressional Record consisted of 9,370 pages of pulp. YOU CAN FIND some of the best reading in the country in the Congressional Record. Likewise some of the other kind. HUNDRED PERSONS SEEN watching ten men fix chuckholes in our streets. Apparently there still exists the inalienable right to loaf if one can afford 1L We can’t. WELL, THE ADVERTISERS made it plain they have a strong “vigilance committee,” which prosecutes advertising fakers. If a lot of men had gotten advice from better business bureaus instead of following “Tips to Investors” in some of the magazines their present addresses wouldn't be Park Bench, number so and so. Let’s Keep Up the Good Work! The advertising convention is over, but its effect on Indianapolis is } et to come. It should prove a stimulant to the men and women who are trying to do worth while things for Indianapolis. If there has been any doubt that Indianapolis could handle a big convention in a big way, events this week have wiped it away. V e made good. The advertising men of the world—men of close observation, quick to praise, quick to condemn—said we did. They adopted resolutions praising the manner in which their convention was handled in our city. We told them in New Orleans last year that we’d be glad to have them come. They said before leaving they were glad they came. Indianapolis can conscientiously chalk down a big achievement. But we shouldn’t let it go at that. After all, the advertisers’ convention —important as it was is but an incident in the plan of progress in the minds of the thinking boosters of Indianapolis who realize the tremendous natural advantages of this city and the great things it can accomplish when it takes off its coat and gets into the fight for a bigger and better Indianapolis, with all local organizations co-operating and the spirit of good will of the community at its back. The reason Indianapolis made good with the Associated Advert.sing Clubs of the World was that the people did their part._ They didn’t leave it to the business men. They got into the work of making the advertisers feel at home. They were courteous at all times; in fact, more than that they tried to show the visitors a good time although they knew they came not for amusement, but for a “brass tacks ’ convention. Indianapolis can look into the future with confidence. We know we can do big things in a big way. We know we are 'growing rapidly—our census showing almost 320,000 population proves that. We read dally of new businesses coming to our city, of new endeavors in every line of trade and of splendid undeveloped prospects right in our midst. But we must not rest on our oars! Now, if ever, the phrase "Let's go!’’ should be applied to Indianapolis. The successful manner in which the advertisers’ convention was handled should be an incentive to everybody to keep up the good work and demonstrate to the world that Indianapolis is a great little city, full of lire, wide-awake, aggressive people with vision to 6ee and ability to execute, a city that is growing bigger and better all the time and a fine place in which to live. ( Da Banan ’ and da Peanut’ It was at a comer fruit Btand that the proprietor expressed to me very clearly just the situation in which the United States finds itself. I had suggested to him that he stood to suffer a loss on the rotton bananas among the bunch which he had just lung up. He shrugged hlB shoulders. "What I lose on da banan’ I make up on da peanut,” he replied. That is the situation in this country today. Everybody is making a having to pay more for something than they think they ought to. That you might call “da banan'.” On the other side we are getting more for what we do or what we have to sell than ever before. That is ’’da peanut.” The answer remains the same. What we lose on “da banan we make up on “da peanut.” The United States as a whole Is in very fine condition. Everybody has work and the general health of the people never was better. We have been able to raise $26,000,000,000 to loan to governments across the Atlantic and to pay out own war expenses. We have been able to pay taxes ao high that we are getting out of debt, besides paying the government’s running expenses, and also we are thankful that we have some money left with which to buy delegates to a national convention. Now it is only fire months until we have the next election, national and state, and it is safe to say that $50,000,000 will be spent to educate the voters. The situation of liberal education has been revised. It used to be that it cost something to go to school. Now you can be paid for securing your political diploma. Why should the country worry? The profiteers will have to spend a lot of money to elect a congress that will prevent legislation to shake loose' a lot of profits grabbed off our government which the profiteers never should have had. My guess is that somebody is going to get fooled. I know a ward in Chicago that used to go (jemocratic—a ward with a lot of people in it who depend upon their daily jobs for their daily existence. During campaign times a lot of money always has been spent in it by the politicians. To the great surprise of the democratic boss of the ward at the last election it went republican. He had received from the campaign committee as much money usual to carry the ward and he had spent it. His explanation of why he lost the ward was original and genuine.' He said that the voters of his ward were so well fed they had wrinkles on their bellies and didn’t need the money. That is the situation -with the people of the United States today. They have wrinkles on their bellies—W. D. Boyce in the Saturday Blade, Chicago. To Express Appreciation It is a beautiful tribute to place upon a man’s grave the choicest of flowers; to inscribe upon his headstone an epitaph commendatory of the big things he has done, and to deliver at his death an oration praising him for the service he has been to his community. But far greater than these is a warm handclasp and a few heartfelt words of commendation to the living, or possibly a letter of appreciation, written simply and sincerely. The matter of appreciation to the living—an expression as of the city’s sentiment —when any one of the people of Indianapolis performs a notable act, or when any concern in the city has performed some act which the entire community appreciates, but that is not now vocalized, is to be taken up by the committee on reception and appreciation recently appointed by Charles F. Coffin, as president of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, and confirmed by the chamber’s board of directors. There are other duties for the committee, of which Arthur R. Baxter is chairman, for such numbers of its members as shall be required will act as hosts when Indianapolis has important conventions or when the city is honored by the presence of distinguished vrsitors, thereby helping to carry on and extend the reputation Indianapolis already has as a hospitable city. But that matter of appreciation seems rather to stand out beyond the ofiier function of the committee—appreciation i>- <.d jf ,v of benefit to the community. A

CHAPTER T/VTII. Puss awoke at sunrise, tor why not? There was somebody knocking at his door. He jumped out of bed and looked about him. For a mouient he had forgotten he was In the castle belonging to the little white cat. And then he remembered his promise of the ilight before, and resolved that he would find the young prince and tell film where there was the moss beautiful dog In the whole xyorld. And as the prince had been ir, v search of a dog for some time, as well as his two brothers, and the fate of all three depended on him who brought the handsomest dog to their father, the king, Puss felt sure the youngest son would gladly come to the castle of the little white cat to see her dog. “Then if the prince falls In love with her all will be well,” said

CHAPTER LXII. "What do you folks generally do Saturday afternoon* T Sponge a ride off your friends—or does Jim always work?” asked Neal, after Sheldon Blake had whisked Evvy away from her lunch with us. The question made me wince almost aa sadly aa had Neal's complete taking It for granted that Jim owred a car. “Ho always has to go cut —for business," said I, which waa the truth, no matter how Neal interpreted it. “Let’s go oat for a walk,” suggested Neal, eagerly—he never had been given to “Bitting around the house." So we roamed out into the summer sunshine and gossiped about home-folks and speculated how many weeks after his first appearance at work Monday must elapse before Neal got promoted to $35 a week! “When you write to father don’t say much about me. He would kind of rather get his first story of my impressions of New York from yours truly," said Neal, as we were strolling home at 6. This sounded reasonable enough, foe after all Father Andrews Is no blood kin of mine, and NeaX is his own boy. .Tim hadn’t come In when we reached home. At 7 he arrived. “I'm dead beat,” bo said irritably in response to my unspoken question. "And the worst of It la, I didn’t see my man, and I’ll have to go up the river again tomorrow and waste my Sunday morning on him." Supper wasn’t a pleasant meal. I had to utilise the cold things left from lunch, as Jim hates warmed-over food. And cold food doesn’t refresh a tired man. But Jim waa good-natured about it. He seemed, however, to be waiting for some thing to pounce on, and ha found it when Neal announced —with a little irritability of his own—that if we didn't hurry ha’d have to run along without helping with the dishes. "That's all right, old man, we don’t generally ask our guests to wash our china," eald Jim amiably—too amiably; "but neither do they eat and run." “Well, I’ve got to chase myself—and

consider what was best to do. Suddenly he heard the sound of hoof beats, and in another moment a handsome young man drew rein close beside him. “Ah!” exclaimed the stranger, look ■ ing at Puss. “Would that you were a dog!” “What!” answered Junior Indignantly, “am I such a sorry locking cat that you would have me a dog?” “Not so,” replied the handsome rider, laughing and showing a row of beautiful white teeth, “but you are so fine a cat that were you a dog my quest would be at an end, and I would win a kingdom!” Puss Junior was greatly .flattered by this remark, but even more pleased. This handsome rider was undoubtedly the king’s youngest son, whom the little white cat was so anxious to meet. "My Lord,” said Puss, “ 'tls lucky we have met. For I know where you may find the dog for which you are looking, and I have found, If 1 am not greatly mistaken, him whom I am seeking.” “I am the king's youngest son,. And whom may you be, most noble Cat?" “Puss in Boots Junior,” , replied our hero. "And now that we are Introduced.” he continued, “allow me to show you the way that leads to the fulfillment of your quest." “Jump up behind mo,” cried the king’s son, “and together we will travel, comrades ns it were.” So off they went, Puss directing the way, and by and by they came in sight of the castle of the little white cat. There was a great commotion going on, for the little white cat was preparing to go out hunting. AH the cats were assembled in the courtyard, some leading greyhounds, others blowing horns. "What magnificent dogs!” exclaimed the king’s son, delighted at the sight. At that moment the little white cat herself appeared riding on a beauitful greyhound. The king’s son held his breath. “Puss Junior,” he whispered, “if you can get me that dog X will give you whatever ts in my power.” “Will you promise me to do what 1 ask of you?” said Puss. “Yes," said the Prince. “Then fall In love with the little white cat," said Puss Junior.—Copyright, 1920.

The Right Thing at the Right Time By MARY MARSHALL H. DllTKt
Breakfast Manners la most weil-orde#cd households there Is no stated breakfast hour, breakfast being served at the convenience of the members and the guests of the household. If you ore guest at a house and have to leave betimes in the morning it Is not necessary for you to wait until the entire family have assembled. Usually the hostess asks guests what time they wtsh to have breakfast. It Is courteous where 1 possible to urge the guest who has nothing special to demand on enrly rising I to take a late breakfast. But though breakfast Is rather a moveable feast it is not courteous to bo indifferent to others who are breakfasting with you. Even in the bosom of your | own family it Is not exactly courteous ] to rend the morning paper during breakfast time. If you breakfast alone or with some one else who, algo, likes to flavor breakfast coffee with snatches of the day’* news, well and good. If your table companion does not like /to read the paper it is certainly not considerate to no so yourself. Husbands •usually feel free to and > so when breakfasting with their wives.

I Orbison Asks for Record of Booze Cases Charles J. Orbi3on, federal prohibition, director for Indiana, issued a circular letter today in which he asks all the prosecuting attorneys of the state to send monthly lists of the convictions of violators of the liquor law and the penalties assessed. Thle, Mr. Orbison explained, is asked in order that the government may keep a complete list of taxes to be collected as specified by federal Act 1. “The traffic in intoxicating liquors," said Mr. Orbison, “has been greatly strieted, but not eliminated, and .1 highly necessary that all officials interested in the enforcement of the law keep constantly on the Job so that the enemies of the law. now in panic, may be put to rout."
