PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

I’m glad when washday’s gone «nd ended, for then the rules are all suspended, the house is upside down; I breathe a lot of hectic •curses, as I sit round composing ■verses, in my pink dressing gown. J see the womenfolk, embattled, all tired, distraught and badly rattled; uny aunt comes pawing round; ■“What luck! What luck! We’re out of bluing! Go, hump yourself, %e up and doing, and bring us half a pound!” I hear the loud domestic shrieking, “Oh, Caesar's ghost! The boiler’s leaking, the water’s all TUB out!*’ And I must do some punk repairing, and while I do it 1 am swearing, for I'm bunged up ■with gout. At noon I have to eat cold pottage, for no one round the cottage has time to cook a meal; there’s no hot coffee in the shanty—and it would take the pen of Dante to tell how tough I feel. All day I see the women sloshing around the soily weekly washing, up to their ears in suds; «11 day they toil around like dingers, and feed into the jaws of wringers the aromatic duds. And then at Bright they’re all so weary, I look in vain for glances cheery, I see no Cheerful grin; they’re taking headache pills and potions, and I re-

PRIDE IS 11IDEA A Thing of Beauty Is a Joy Forever Even a car is no better than it looks. When everybody admires your car, it gets better care. With proper care, service is ' assured. Getting service i§ an everlasting pleasure. There is at least one ®ood ,car that looks-the part. Pride •of ownership is built in with over 21 years’ experience making fine cars. It speaks its own value. - J Mean the OLDS MB, - Rensseioer.lnfliano

Sidney Howard of Boston, Mass., is carrying as a pocket-piece a Spanish silver coin dated 1777, equivallent to half a dollar, which was given to him as a prize for being the first to sight the first sperm whale when he was on a whaling voyage in 1873.

WANT CONTRACTS CANCELLED

(Continued from Page One)

Fees collected for the quarter by the various county officers who are required to bo report, were as follows: Clerk, $336.10;* recorder, 3667.40; sheriff, 3149.07; auditor, 371.40. Interest on county funds for the month of March were reported by all the county depositories, except Wheatfield, which was not yet in, as follows: Trust & Savings bank, Rensselaer, 3173.94; First National bank, Rensselaer, 3175.86; State bank, Rensselaer', 3150.48; Slate bank. Remington, 3137.87. What purported to be the annual report of the trustees of the Jasper county hospital for the period from July 1, 1917, to August 1, 1918, was filed in long hand and signed “Board of Trustees.” This report showed receipts for the period covered of 38,615.40, and disbursements of 316,205.59. The disbursements were itemized —improvements, 3220.30; sterlizer, 3668.50; X-ray (part), 3794.42; balance furniture and equipment, 3224.73; real estate, 33,500, making a total of 35,407.95, which the report says should not be included as operating expenses—salary nurses and help, 36,488.52; supplies, 34,309.12. During this period, says the report, 329 patients were received at the hospital; 174 operations performed and 32 babies born. The report says that it has been circulated that the operating expenses of the hospital were over 31,000 per month, which is denied, as the money spent in permanent improvements should not be charged up as operating expenses. The report also says that additional room is -needed, which would indicate that the board will ask for more money for permanent improvements.

Keep the Money Saved.

Thrift means saving money and keeping it saved. Patriotism does not mean enthusiasm today and indifference tomorrow. Buy War Savings Stamps and hold them. No man’s duty Is fully done when he purchases ths securities. He must hold them.

GARDEN GIVES A LIFT.

A garden gives the game a lift, Aqd helps us practice ways of thrift, That give *us seeds from which wa • grow War Savings Stamps that earn as “dough.” So with a garden toll to save That you may never be a slave, But keep on adding to your wealth, Your peace of mind and ruddy health.
