THINK what might have happened had the Lever act been declared unconstitutional before the armistice! MR. RITTER'S PREDICTION of lower milk prices might carry greater weight were he in the milk business! DUKE DUFFEY’S TALK of “our nonpartisan highway commission" reminds one of the “many economies” promised by Goodrich! YES, the News did print Senator Kenyon's report that 11,700,000 was spent in the Wood campaign—on page twenty-three. DOC MORGAN WILL continue to be about the only individual interested in finding that lost list of eating houses that he rated so highly! ANYHOW, Kokomo has sufficient good judgment to realize that reform is desirable, and that is more than some other Indiana cities have demonstrated. That Spontaneous Demand Now that Senator Kenyon, chairman of the committee that examined into the expenditures of the last campaign, has reported that the move-n ment for General Wood for President, which was exploited hereabquts as “not a manufactured sentiment, but a spontaneous demand,” cost approximately $1,773,303, perhaps one may comment on it without being ostracised. Os course, there are men and newspapers in this country who had the nerve, a few months ago, to alligu themselves with the “unholy” and voice a protest at tUe flood of gold that was used in the interest of Wood in Indiana: But these were few, so few in fact that all the attention they got from the “pure-hearted” partisans of the good general were sneers and the finger of scorn. Today, these same persons who dared to tell the truth have the satisfaction of knowing that their assertions have been proved. For there was spent in the last campaign more money on behalf ov General Wood than any other candidate, and almost as much money in the general’s primary campaign as the Democratic party spent throughout * th-' primaries and election. Neither General Wood nor the Democrats was successful. Money j killed the chances of the former and lack of money interfered with the j ambitions of the latter. Hard Money It ought not to be necessary for the Legislature of Indiana to pass a bill of doubtful constitutionality designed to prevent landlords from discriminating against families that rear children. There ought to be a sufficient number of property owners in the State with sufficient humanity in their make-up to be willing to rent their properties to families that consist of parents and children to make a bill unnecessary. Yet, there is widespread demand for the bill which would imply that there are few landlords who desire to tolerate children. We feel mighty sorry for the man who has become so thoroughly commercial that the happy cries and the laughter of children at play disturb his peace of mind. Our sympathy goes out to the rental agent who is compelled, for the few dollars he may make thereby, to tell the mother or the father of a little child he cannot live In his principal's property and have children. _ This is a hard old world and it compels many to stifle their better natures in order to make enough to meet the high cost of living and the income tax. But hard as the struggle may be, there are a few things that we regard as worse than being poor. And candidly, we should dislike very much to think that it should ever become necessary for us to regard children as less desirable than the few extra dollars we might be .able to make through the rental of property made more “exclusive” by the absence of the little ones. Jury Fixing It doesn't make a particle of difference who attempts to "fix” a jury In this county. The crime Is ro less a crime because it is committed by a Democrat or a Republican, a Jewett or a Shank follower. Jury fixing Is a profitable occupation which has been followed by certain lawyers and others In Indianapolis for a great many years. Some have risen to affluence by reason of their proficiency in the art of prostituting justice. None has been punished therefor In the history of the last generation. Recently, an attempt has been made, largely by Innuendo, to show that a gentleman connected with the campaign of Samuel Lewis Shank for mayor attempted to Influence a talesman In the trial of Dr. HilL We do not know whether there is any foundation for the Insinuation or not. If such an attempt was made the guilty parties ought to he brought to Justice for It and no decent citizen of Indianapolis will attempt to shield them because of the political Influence their conviction might have. Among the counsel for Dr. Hill, who might reasonably be expected to know of any attempt at jury bribery are John 0. Ruckelshaus, president of the Columbia Club, and Taylor Gronlnger, a Shank supporter. These men are certainly sufficiently Interested in their standing at the bar to wish a complete investigation of any inference of improper conduct of their defense of Dr. HilL There ought to be some method of determining whether an attempt has been made to influence a talesman or whether an attempt has been made to discredit a political worker. Rice An apology is due to the little grain of rice for having been maligned by the Government, when its usefulness was attacked. Thanks to Its unchanging consistency, a reaction has occurred and It is now again recognized at its true food value, though It is the cheapest thing to eat in all the world. A few years ago it was apparently discovered that the husk of the rice contained something which prevented the contracting of the beriberi disease. Every one was advised to avoid the “polished” rice and to insist on having the unmilled kernels. Later it was said it can be eaten with entire safety when duly husked. Now that rice may he served in a most palatable form, it is sure of consumption everywhere. In China and the Orient it is the staple food. The greatest number of people in the world eat the little grains and gather nourishment from them. The average Oriental will constitute a meal of rice, consuming what an American would consider a side dish and calling It a square meal. Rice has the property of being shipped which Is more than can be attributed to Indian corn, for the latter ferments and will not keep in a hot, damp place. -Rice too ferments hut not so readily as the foundation for “white mule.” The fact that rice can be shipped and that it is a staple food for China may be the means of alleviating much suffering in the famine stricken districts of that country, for America has it in abundance and it is available as a donation to China. Americanism! As the patriots of seventy-six did to the support of the Declaration of Independence, so to the support of the Constitution and laws let every American pledge his life, his property and his sacred honor, let efery man remember that to violats the law is to trample on the blood of his father, and to fear the charter of his own and his children’s liberty. Let reverence for the laws he breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her iap; let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, •and in colleges; let it be written in primers, spelling books and almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in the legislative halls, and enforced in courts of Justice. In short, let It become the political religion of the nation. —Abraham Lincoln.

BIG MOVIE OPENS i ALTO SHOW WEEK.

The film drama, “The Porcelain Lamp,” presents a dramatic and authentic story of the discovery of gasoline by the young inventor Daimler, and this story is given with all the heart throbs, the struggle of the young inventor and his wife. Besides this it has its full share of thrills for the ’final accident that crowned the research of the chemist is produced In a realistic manner. This scene, which Is the prelude to modern motor car transportation, was filmed at great peril to the actors and the producers, but the precautions taken and lucky chance crowned the efforts of the producers with no harm to the actors. Go and see it, and if you do not think It was as dangerous a scene as was ever filmed we apologize.

CHAPTER CXLlll—(Continued.) i “But, Jim,” I protested, “It was Jennie who called him in to help yesterdsy. It's Terry who will get the benefit of hts car this morning. And it’s all for Betty. So why argue with me like this? Is It to forestall me, so I won't say anything about the way you devoted yourself to Evvy all evening?” “Ewy V* .Tim fnirly shouted the name. "You make me sick with your everlasting suspicion of that poor little kid. Why, I've known her all my life. She’s nothing to me, and you know it if you'll take the trouble to use your brain.” “Then why are you always so devoted to her, whispering and sitting off by yourselves and looking so interested?” “Some catalog!” snapped Jim. “I suppose I look Interested because I sra. Evvy s clever, and she knows a lot of people I do. I tell you she’s one of my oldest friends. Naturally she has some claim on me." “Clever! Interesting!” I repeated. “What does she talk about—herself or you ?” “Meouw! Meuow! For pity's sake. Anne, don’t develop Into a cat,” cried Jim impatiently. “I, a cat! Maybe Ewy Isn't!" I retorted. “Oh. drop Evvy. Hang It all, you nagged about Betty In the beginning. And now look how you rave about her. Don't you see it's old friendships that stand up under the acid test? I’ve proved you wrong about Tom. Well, Evvy’s next. Old friends are all to the good. But nix on this mushroom stuff. Norreys, for instance. How long have you known htin ?” “Time Isn’t what counts, Jim. It’s loyalty and character, and sympathy and things in common,” I began defensively. “Well, you’ll have nothing In common with Norreys if I have anything to say. He's crazy about you, and I won’t have It.” “Why, Jim, he isn't!” I rasped, amazed at the way Jlra had brought the conversation around to the point where he wanted it. “He never thought of such a thing. Nor did I” “All right, but cut him out,” ordered Jim.

“I can't. You don't throw friendship away like withered flowers. I've no reason for putting Anthony Norreys’ friendship out of my life.” “You haven’t?" asked Jim, curtly. “Well, I’ll give you a reason. I forbid it.” I winced as if he had struck me. A blow couldn't have startled mo more than this gold blooded _ command. I opened 'thy lips to make a furious denial of .Tlin's right to Interfere with tny freedom as a thinking, mature woman. Something in Jim's attitude stopped me for a second — tie was nonchalantly pressing tobacco Into his pipe with his little finger. lie didn't realtz.e that he had thrown down the gage of combat., that he had hurt and roused me to stand off and to consider my rights, my rights and Individuality apart from his. He thought of me as a child willing and glad to take orders from him. Without a word. I turned and walked from the room. There were vital things at stake between us, but Betty needed nil j tny thought and energy now. For the present I couldn't afford to meet this big, new condition that was menacing all our life together.—Copyright, 1921. (To Be Continued.) TAXES COLLECTED. Q.

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

(The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited Income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily In an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of iivlng with them.) ) THE greater part of the ironing having been finished on Tuesday, Mrs. Hooper had only the odds and ends to get out of the way Wednesday morning after breakfast, and when the house w-as tn order she took her light raffia bag that had replaced the oldtime bulky market basket and with Baby Betty started out to buy provisions for the week. On making her round of inspection on Monday, she carried a notebook and pencil in the pocket of her house dress and Jotted down each item that was needed tn every part of the house. In this way she knew exactly how much money would have to be taken from each section of her weekly budget in order to replenish the pantry, the medicine closet and the family wardrobe, .as well as that to be used for operating expenses. Out of the twenty dollars a week allowed for food, two dollars and fifty cents was subtracted at once for Henry s luncheons which he was able to get for forty cents a day at a business mans lunch room In the city. Her weekly ice bill was one dollar, as she always kept the small refrigerator filled, and tile ice conserved; realizing that in a half warm ice box In a heated kitchen it is iinpos sible to keep food untainted In the winter, and that the uniced refriegerutor Is not economical. Through the efforts of the members of the Woman's Club of Mayfield to which Mrs. Hooper belonged a community market had been established in the town, where the price of food staples under the watchful eyes of the women was not permitted to soar without reason and fresh vegetallies and fruit reached them

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory.In the last story the Wind Man of the Mountain with his great bellows was blowing the cold wind over the earth and j whirling the snow about until poor lit- j tie Pus* was nearly frozen. “How are we going to escape?” asked j Pus* with a shiver. “Follow me." cried the Gnome, and j turning to a big rock he tapped upon it twice with the toe of ills little red boot. In a moment a door opened, showing a pair of rocky steps leading down into j the mountalu. “Bo careful," said the Gnome as he and Puss descended the rough flight, "don't slip, for you might fall a long way." Puss assured him he had no desire to be careless, although his feet felt so numb he wasn't quite sure but what he might* slip after all. Although it was not exactly dark, at the same time the light was not suffi cient for Puss to make out anything dls tlnctly, and as the stairway was very ! narrow end the walls dim he kept his eyes closely upon the ground and followed the Gnome down the mountain. I “Where are we going?" asked Puss at length, as he saw a dltn light In the I distance, for by this time they had reached a level corridor through which ; they were now making their way. A largo iron door at the end of the hall arrested their progress, but nothing daunted, the Gnome took from his pocket an iron key, and after Inserting It In I the lock slowly turned It. 'llie door j swung open and Puss heard the faint beating of a drum. The big door closed | behind them. “SU down,” said the Gnome, drawing forward a little wooden stool mueh too small for Puss, but probably of just the i right size for a Gnome, "sit down and wait a moment, while I go In search of the Gnotuelund Band. 1 want them to 1 play for you, aud I hear them praetic ing now.” (iff ran the Gnome, while Hiss looked about him. A good ways from home, he suddenly thought, remembering how he had been taken in the bubble balloon to the top of the mountain, and how narrowly he had escaped freezing at the ; hands of the Wind Man of the Mountain ! with his big lipllows. j And now, here he was, deep down in ! the mountain, in a big rocky room, sitting on a little stool, waiting for his Gnome friend to return. And what if he did not come back? Puss Junior’s hair suddenly stood on end at the thought. | Going over to the big Iron door through j which he .had but a few minutes ago en | tered. be tried to turn the great knob, j hut either be was not strong enough, or ! lie didn’t know the secret of the lock, j So Puss returned to his stool and made ! up his mind to wait for some time before he would allow his fears to get the better of him. This is what every brave cat would do under the circumstances, he said to himself, and resolved not to bo a coward. Presently he was relieved to hear the ■trains of sweet music, and suddenly • round the end of the room appeared the Gnome at the hand of the Gnomeland Band. The funniest band that Puss had ever seen. Why, each Instrument was playing Itself, and dancing the Mountain Tango at the same time. And next time, when the music stops, you shall hear how Puss went down the Slippery Mountain Side. —Copyright, 1921. (To Be Continued.)

Inexpensively from the nearby farms and truck gardens. As she approached the meat counter her neighbor, Mrs. Briggs, was having delivered to her ten kidney lamb chops, which would give her husband, herself and three children two tiny chops apiece for their dinner and had cost her one dollar and twenty cents. As she left •with her purchase the butcher said laconically: “That’s what keeps meat prices so high, Mrs. Hooper.” “What do you mean," a3ked Mary. “Oh, so many women buying these choice cuts Instead of learnln’ how to’ cook the cheaper ones, so that we butchers have so many shoulders and chucks and rumps left on our hands to spoil because they won’t buy ’em, that we have to put up the price of the whole carcuss in order to save ourselves from loss.” “Well, you can’t include me in that compaliut,” laughed Mrs. Hooper. ••You’re right, ma’am; if there was more women like you in this town meat wouldn't stay up the way It does.” “How Is the market today?” inquired Mrs. Hooper. “Lamb’s way up,” answered the butcher, “but there’s a big tumble In beef that’ll last for a day or two. Several delayed shipments from Australia have thrown a lot on the wholesaler’s hands and we’re gettin’ the benefit. That Is, we would be if the women of Mayfield weren't watchln' us,” he chuckled in conclusion. " (, r if we all bought lamb today instead of beef,” answered Mrs. Hooper, thinking of Mrs. Briggs' extravagant purchase. “I’ll take three pounds of that neck of beef for soup and four pounds of top round for a casserole roast and 10 cents’ worth of bones to add body to my soup.” Mrs. Hooper's meals for Wednesday were planned thus: MENU. —Breakfast— Apple Sauce ' Cereal Broiled Bacon Quick Muffins Coffee. —Lunch— Tomoto Bisque Bread and Butter Ginger Bread Berry Juice (bottled in the summer) --Dinner— Beef en Casserole Carrots, Turnips, Parsnips and Small Potatoes cooked In with it and plenty of brown gravy Spinach Indian Pudding
