THE PRIMARY RESULTS ought tc be a lesson In the advantages of moderation In the slinging of mud! WHAT A WORLD of campaign material has been provided from the mouths of Republicans for the campaign of Boyd M. Ralston! THE PECULIARITY of the vote was the manner In which the political observers were fooled as to location of the candidates' strength’ DEMOCRATS have occasion today to congratulate themselves that at last the party as a whole has seen the evils of bipartisan combinations. MAYOR JTTWETT said this was the first time In which Republican candidates had ever repudiated a Republican administration. TUerty had to be a first, sometime! Shank's Victory Samuel Lewis Shank, the candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor who repudiated the administration of Mayor Charles W. Jewett and openly defied the Indianapolis News, has been chosen the Republican ticket for the city campaign. Boyd M. Ralston, concerning whose nomination there was never any serious doubt, will head the Democratic ticket and the sincerity of those Republicans who for weeks have teen terming Shank a menace to the city and declaring that his election would be a "fatal calamity” to Indianapolis, will be tested at the polls in November. The success of Mr. Shank in one of the hardest fought and bitterest primaries Indianapolis has experienced was due to nothing so much as to the unyielding demand of the Republican organization, headed by Mayor Jewett and guided by the Newß, that it be permitted to select the nominee, and make a distinction between the citizens of Indianapolis who take their politics at its dictation and those citizens who still‘believe that a party member has a right to express his preference. Thomas C. Howe, former president of Butler College, and the selection of “thirty-five men” for the nomination, must now Join the long list of estimable gentlemen who have been lured into depending on tb overrated power of the Indianapolis News only to find that in the last analysis the News is not capable of delivering. Ed J. Robison could have defeated Shank for the nomination. He was first in the field and by all the rules of fair play in politics should have been permitted to gather to himself the entire opposition to Shank, which would have been sufficient to have nominated him. But Robiscn refused to bend his knee to the organization and the organization risked the division of the vote in its effort to nominate a man It evidently believed it could controL Mr. Howe owes his defeat largely to the manner in which Mr. Jewett and his newspaper ally overplayed their claims to righteousness. Thousands of votes were alienated from the organization candidate by the wholly unneceasary and certainly undesirable effort to make that the "good people" of Indianapolis were “united in support of W. Howe " The nomination of Mr. Shank proves more than it proves anything else, that the citizens of Indianapolis cherish their political Independence and are willing to fight for it. The Shank vote was very largely a vote of protest against Jewettism, the domination of a newspaper and the effort to monopolize the designation of "good citizens.” Those Republicans who were sincere in their expressed belief that Samuel Lewis Shank is not a fit man to be mayor of Indianapolis will now be compelled to decide whether they love Indianapolis more than Republican regularity. Those who resorted to condemnation of Shank merely for the purposes of helping their favorites will, of course, soon rally to the Shank banner. In the meanwhile, the Jewett-Lemcke machine, which Ralph Lemcke recently declared cyst a half million a year to maintain'and “would control Republican politics for the next seven years.” is on the scrap heap.

Perversity! A news item from Virginia narrates that an ex-Confederate veteran, aged 103, recently drowned in a well. The incident illustrates the irony of fate and could be followed by many others. He met dangers for over a century, only to fall into the well. Stories of soldiers going through long campaigns and returning home, to drown while fishing, or to choke on a fish bone are so common that it sometimes seems fate enjoys causing such strange happenings. It is like the automobile engine which never gave any trouble but which stopped for the first time on a railroad track with a train coming. On the same principle is the fact that an umbrella cannot be found when It is raining, although it has always been in sight at other time*. And a collar button never gets away and hides excepting when the wearer is in a hurry. Even some street cars, trying to gather nickles for the poor public utilities, may not stop lust when they are most wanted, or ipdeed may not appear at all, though the schedule is not to blame. However, If things always happened according to rule, or even according to our idea of logic, this would be a very urns world. Cussinn Friends! There Is a question which gets the worst thoughts, the telephone or the alarm clock. Probably the telephone has the most continuous abuse but the alarm clock certainly loses caste even when it is faithfully and impartially doing its duty—also when it i3 punctually doing it, but there's the rub. People really do not mean what they say when the alarm'clock awakens them, nor do they take seriously the annoyances of an interrupting telephone. If they were serious the telephone could be removed and the clock left unset. But what business or even residence wants to forego the convenience of the phone or who, unless thoroughly accustomed to awakening, would do without the joy killer of early morning? One of the peculiarities of our modes of thought is the hurling of invectives against that which is really cherished and highly regarded. The mother-in-law, the biscuit of the bride, the old automobile and the street car company—to say nothing of each political party, have been vilified and abused, even more than the telephone or the clock, yet down deep in the heart, when the truth is told, they are highly regarded. The despised things of today are kindly regarded tomorrow and by and by their true worth is recognized. The dead politician becomes a statesman, the phone a great convenience and the alarm clock a necessity. Protect the Flowers! The past two weeks or more has been a season when dogwood was In flower and when that early growth was most admired by all nature lovers. Many automobiles returned to the city covered with the .white flowers, gathered indiscriminately wherever found, and unconsciously a great deal of depredation was done by those who gathered them. The tendency of the city person, when in the country is to pluck and bring home all the beautiful things possible. Wild flowers are taken, the best first, then others, until what remains to propagate are the smallest and poorest. With the dogwood, too, not only are large branches broken from the trees, but at times the entire tops are cut off and carried away. On the morrow they are faded. So many people have made it a habit of going out from Chicago, since the automobiles have corn© into general use, and so great has -been the Inroads made upon wild flowers, that 'lovers of these flowers have organized a society to sow seeds, for if the extermination is continued soon it would be complete. The thoughtlessness of those wljo take the last flower, or indeed, who pluck the largest one, is perhaps excusable, for they do this out of love for the dainty little harbingers of spring. They do destroy at times what nature has taken years to build and the gratification is the possession of a few flowers for a day at longest, when they fade and are thrown away. The automobile is here to stay and the rare trip to the country will be indulged in more and more. It would be well to make protection of flowers and shrubs a study and to put the conclusion into active practice, so as fc\3t to axhaust the supply available.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life 'By Ann Lisle-

CHAPTER CCIV. For weeks Jim and I Isaren’t given each other any happiness. There’s no dodging that fact. „Time was when no matter how sadly we differed, we made up for the hurts in the tenderness we showed each other afterwards. Now Jim slights and belittles mo and there isn’t any compensating'tenderness later. I’ve been wondering and wondering if any man but one tired of his wife would say calmly to her: / “Do you mean to iell me we've come to the parting of the ways?” I can’t gloss over the fact that Jim was almost brutally indifferent to my running away from Betty's because Anthony Norrevs wag there. That must mean lie’s lost the interest in me that wonld once have made him wldly Jealous at the thought of my visiting Terry and Batty when Tony was there. I suppose that in turn is explained by the interest ha feels in Valerie Cosby—the Interest he Browed so plainly on our week-end trip. Since he doesn’t care what I do unless my actions help or hinder him with his bnsincss friends, and—if what he does no longer matters to me. haven't we come to the parting of the ways? And if we have —do 1 care? I don’t know. I only know that I met Anthony Norreys for lunch. Six months ago I wouldn’t have dreamed of doing such a thing, but six mouths ago Jim and I were happy. Tony was waiting when I arrived at the restaurant. “Welcome!” h said. “I’ve a table at a sunny window looking out on the avenue, and there are pungent clams waiting to bribe you to tail mo why you ran away from Betty’s." As *e crossed to our table. I wondered if Tony actually knew I liked clams and sunny windows, or if we merely happened to have those tastes in common. As soon as wo were seated I asked him. His eyas twinkled as he replied : "Oysters are too gray fo*- yon. Pink clams and sunshine are Just right, child. Asa matter of fact, though, you mentioned your preferences—a lot of 'em—the Dight you and Betty and I formed our Friendship Club. Non* thßt I've led grscefuly ’round to friendship again, tell me why you ran away from this friend—he is a friend, isn’t he?" "Otherwise I wouldn’t be here,” I replied gravely. “But why do you persist in saying I ran away?” “Your bag at the station." As he said that tersely, I noticed again how rugged and sturdy Tony’s chin is. A chin like his doesn’t put up with equivocations. It demands truth, whether sweet or bitter. “I did run away.” I confessed. ’lf you’li think back tq the day of Betty’s wedding, aud the way Jim showed his feeling about the ‘charity Job’ you gave him you II not need to ask me any more questions.” For a moment. Tony's face looked even gaunter than usual. Then he soldi: “I see. I want your friendship. Want it very much, child. But not if it’s going to cost you too much. Don't deride quickly.” ■'But there’s nothing to decide." I crie.d with the splendid fooling that come* from knowing what you want to do and knowing you'll do it. ’Tour friendship’s mine K feel sure of that without pretense or question. And my friendship s yours. I can’t ary more change thrt than I can change the color of my eyes.” ‘Tint’s splendid. I can’t tell you how much it means to an ugly old chap like me to know I possess (he friendship of n radiant young springtime creature like you. But if lt> going to cause you any unpleasantness with that fine young chap you’ve married. I'll ke-p out of your wav and still get Joy from knowing we're friends.” “What’s the good of being friends with folks if you don’t see ’em’:" I asked, pertly. "Tk tAras youth speaking, child.” re- i plied Anth-ny Norreys with a wise, kind smile. "Friendship and faith are good with the sens between th“m. But thoy’re no cood If they ,-ause hurt or dissension.” “But ours won't cause hurt or dissen-

sion,” I cried eagerly. “Jim thought mt a great siliy to run away as I did.” “Flue I” Tony exclaimed. “Then we are friends—not long-distance ones, either. If over you need me and you will let me try tc help, I’ll be proud to serve. Is that decided on?” “It’s all settled. And I’m so comfy and happy and peaceful—l could purr,” I replied, looking at him, with the most restful, cheerful feelings I'd had in ages. Then my glance strayed out of the window to the avenue. Rounding the corner were Neal and Bvvy Mason. In a flash I noticed that Neal was still Shabby. I shrank back, more because I hated to see them together than for any other reason. Ewy was looking up adoringly at Neal, and then coqnettishly turning away. As she turned her eyes traveled across the front balcony of the restaurant, lingered, peered in and then fixed themselves knowingly, impudently on Anthony Norreys and me. There wag something in the expression on Ewy's face that ended my peaceful, cheerful feelings.—Copyright, 1921. (To bo continued.) I PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory. ~~' You remember in the last story the giant told Puss to take two buckets and fill them with water to make the soup. Little Puss Junior looked at the buckets, the tops of which' ha couldn't even see. for they were two enormous hogsheads ten feet high aud six broad. “He. he!” shouted the giant, as he saw hie hesitation, ‘‘and so you ary stuck at the first thing. Sir Kitten! Do what I do, you know, and get the water.” “What's the good of that?” replied Puss calmly. “I’ll go get the spring itself, and put that In the pot.” “No, no!” said the giant, “that won’t do. You have already haif spoiled iny forest with your Magic Axe, and I don’t want you to take my spring away. You may attend to the lire, and I’ll go and get the water." So the giant bung up the kettle, put into it an ox cut into pieces, fifty cabbages and a wagon load of carrots And after that he skimmed the broth with a frying pan, tasting it every now and then to see if it was done. When everything was ready he turned to Puss, Junior, and said: “Now we'll see if you can do what I can. I feel like eating the whole ox. and you into the bargain. I think I’ll sorve you for dessert." "All right.” said little Puss Junior. But before sitting down to the table he slipped under his Jacket his knapsack, which reached down to his feet. "Ouf!” sighed the giant for the third time, ”I've get to unbutton the third button. “Bah r answered Puss. “It’s the easiest thing to relieve yourself.” and he took his knife and slit his Jacket and the knapsack under it the whole length ot his stomach "Now’s your turn, do as I do, if you can!” “Excuse me!” gasped the giant Yon win. I'd rather be your servant than do that.” And in the next story you shall hear what other wonderful things little Puss Junior did—Copyright, 1921. (To Be Continued.)

WEDNESDAY. “I have planned to have Roger paint the bathroom on Saturdayi” said Mrs. Hooper to Henry at the breakfast table, “unless you think you both ought to work in the garden all the afternoon." "I believe we bad better do that," answered Henry, “the painting can wait another week and we ought to get that garden in shape If we expect to hare the bumper crop from our back yard that we h(id last year.” “These radishes that we have been eating all week from the little bed you’ve been taking care of, Henry, are so delicious that I feel eager to have our own lettuce as soon as possible," remarked Mrs. Hooper, “and as you say the bathroom will keep.” “I don’t believe there Is anything we need, Is there, Roger?" asked his father. “AH the tools were In good shape whoa you took them out, weren’t they?" “They were all right when I took them out, but I stepped on the rake handle and broke It off abort so mother will have to add anew handle to her supplies this week." “How about the aeeds,” Inquired Mrs. Hooper. “Shßll I see about those when I go in town Thursday?” "I’ll, make you out a list of what I want tonight,” said Henry, "but I won’t need to plant them until next week. There is more tbau one afternoon’s work to get that garden ready, but I’ll put in a little time every evening after “Perhaps I can do a little after school also,” said Roger, “if you think we ought to burry with it.” “No. there isn’t any necessity for that." Mr. Hooper decided. “The season 1* still yonng, and there will be a good deal for you to do in the garden later.” “tVell then, I shall devote Saturday afternoon to Shopping for Roger’s suit," concluded Mrs Hooper. “Betty can play out in the back yard with you and I will be free to travel about freely In my search for what I want.” Betty boat her spoon on the table In glee. “I'll plant vegetables, too, can’t I, father?”

I Will Unlit myself tovone or j •woof the more striking incidents con nectod with each of them. 1 gave them above In the order of their arrival. EFFECTIVE WORK OF C-151 JUNE 2. The U-131 wae playing about not far from our coaat for some days before she disclosed ber presence. Report had oome j to u that steamers had been gnnned at > sea, and that an unfriendly periscope , was headed In our direction. Prompted y by these we sent broadcast a special I warning on May 16. On May 19 the ; Nyanza was gunned 309 miles from our coast. When the U-10l made her big , killing on June 2 she had on board the I crews of three small schooners she had sunk some days before. Though she sank a number of vessels, her visit was brief. She began her homeward Journey on June 13, hu4 reached her German port on Aug. 1. t Tne shelling of the Perth Amboy, a tng, and three barges wiihlu sight of Cano Cod, Mass., was the work of the U 156, which left Germany about the time the U-ISI was starting home. Sh began work In American waters In July. Her exploit In shelling a tug and barges aroused general indignation and contempt- There were forty-one persons on the barges, including three women and five children. The U-boat's torpedoes missed their mark, but her shells set firfe to the barges and they ultimately sank The U-158 did a good deal of damage, but wo had our revenge. On her way , back to Germany she ran foul of the North Ren mine barrage, composed almost wholly of American pines laid by American vessels, anrl vai so badis. damneed that she sank. Twenty-one of her survivors were landed on the Norwegian const; the fate of the rest tis unknown. U-110 RINKS LIGHT SHIP. The U-HO left Germany about a week | later than the U-156. and worked In i American waters In July and August. She chiefly distinguished herself by the : wanton sinking of the. Diamond Shoals j light ship, off Cape Hatteras. Near the Mid of August after a temporary disappearance, she came up again away to j the north. She sank the British steamer | Diamond and next day attacked the j Pleiades. The latter returned her fire | and the U-140 damaged and leaking, quit | the fight. The U-117, a more recent arrival went to her aid, and accompanied I her back to Kiel, where they arrived on 1 Oct. 25. The Deutschland, or the U-155, arrived early in August, She made a fair record for dajni'gp done before she returned j home. It was the ’ Deutschland which; fought a duel with the United States ■ steamship Frank H. Buck, in which the U-boat got the worst of it. The Buck reported that two of her shots took effect, and the Deutschland submerged. She was not Injured enough to put her out o? commission, however. A few days later we heard from ber again sinking ships. But on Sept. 13 she ran into another chosen victim which declined to be' victimised without an argument. Tho British

Betty had entirely recovered from the little illness that had threatened to develop into measles or something equally alarming. Mrs. Hooper acknowledged that she had probably been unduly anxious although she was positive that Betty had not been exposed to any of the prevailing children's complaints that were epidemic in the town. Still she did not believe in taking chances. But watchful care of her, as soon as she showed the first symptoms of not being quite normal or natural, was *ll that was necessary to deflect the danger of an illness. Asa result Betty was bar own meiry little self again this week with not a sign of the quietness and langor that had alarmed her mother a few days ago. The ironing was easily disposed of this week as Mrs. Hooper had decided to cut down the table linen to the smallest amount possible for the summer rhonths. Henry had old-fashioned notions. He liked to see the table always well supplied with linen napkins and corned with a large spotless tablecloth. He had not taken kindly to the idea of using 'dollies instead of the big cloth and of substituting blue and white Japanese crepe napkins that ware so easily washed ami pressed Instead of the white linen ones. But Mrs. Hooper had converted him when, it was a question of her having to do the washing and ironing and she had gone one step further this week and bought a set of oil cloth dollies for the breakfast and luncheon, which noeded only to be wiped off with a damp cloth to be quite clean and fresh looking after each meal. “You’ll get used to them, Henry,” Mre. Hooper hart laughed, "and you'll realise how stupid we've been for so long washing and ironing those big white linen table clothes.” The menu for Thursday is: BREAKFAST. Stewed Prunes with Orange Cereal. Scran: bled Eggs. Muffinis Coffee LUNCH. Sliced Veal Loaf. Bread und Butter. Sandwich**. Chocolate Meringue. Milk. DINNER. Vegetable Soup.
