SMITH THE TRACTABLE FARMER It is not at all difficult to account for the opposition to Herbert Hcover among Indiana G. O. P. Wilson-haters It is probable that during the war more - Republicans were at heart a-

eainst anythinz and everything the President did than Democrats Who were opposed to Lincoln during the Civil War. At least the appeal made in behalt of Lincoln in 1864 and McKinley in 1898 for the election of a (‘nngiw-ss was heeded by thousands of Democrats, and in both instances prevailed while that of 1918 failed, And Herbert Hoover was among those prominent war-workers who backed the war President. He did more. After the fighting had ceased he spoke and wrote convincingly in favor of the League of Nations. While Wilson was devoting his very lite to the thing above all others for which America fought, Hoover was still “backing the President.” He said on the 3rd of October 1919 at a meeting held at Stan-

ford University: . “We cannot fiddle while Rome burns. The aliies may themselves ratify this- treaty without us, and thus assemble a council of nations of their own in an endeavor to solve the problems of Europe and in the midst of those terrible times I would rather that we be represented therein lest it become a league of E.urope against the Western Hemisphere. A peace without us means more army and navy for use, with the old treadmill of taxes and dangers.” g But as repugnant as such sentiments were to the last ditchers they did not stress the Hoover aid and assistance of #ilson any more than tg occasionally mention it for the benetit of their kind. In spite of long-talked-of and never known revolts of farmers in Indiana the anti-Hoover; ites wasted a lot of time and type. They blamed Hoover for - fixing the price of $2.20 a bushel for wheaty (We wonder how many Indiana farmers since the war would turn up their noses at such a price. Compare thd Wilson price with the Harding pricg and the Coolidge price and for a monent indulge your faney. For forty years the Republican farmers of Indiana have been con, vincingly shown the ruinous influence of “protection” on agriculture. While in 1890, ’92, ’'s¢ especially in 1916, the Western farmers revolted and took most of their states with them, the Republican farmer of Indiana wag not feazed—as a farmer. He kept voting the Republican ticket. - : - —Angola Herald.

e e i e sy E™ e Genius of Holbein o chognized' by King When Hans Holbein, the celebrated portrait painter, went to. England, he became a favorite of King Henry VIII, who took him into his service, and paid bim a salary of two hundred tlorins a year. . One day, it is said, a nobleman called upon Holbein when the latter was very busy, painting from life. Holbein sent a message asking to be excused the honor of the visit for that day. The unobleman, highly of fended, walked straight upstairs and oroke open the door of the studio. At this, Holbein also lost his temper, and aimed a blow at the intruder which sent him from the top of the stairs to the bottom. . When his passion had cooled down, the artist realized bis danger, and wisely went at once to the king. to whom he told the story of the quarrel. Shortly afterward the nobleman made his appearance clamoring for vengeance. Henry made Holhein apologize, but the angry pee declared that -nothing but the offend‘er's death would content him. Where-: upon Henry replied, “You have not ‘now to deal with Holbein, but with .me. Whatever harmm you do him shall rebound tenfold on your own head. Whenever I please, | can make seven ‘lords out of seven plowmen, but of seven lords I could not make one Holbein.” 5

American Children as Frenchman Sees Them

“American children are ‘insouciants,” open-minded and gay,” 8o writes & noted observer in (omoedia, ‘a Paris paper, after a visit to the ‘United States. “They work without .effort, that is to say, very little, They only learn the indispensable, In the ‘big cities muany streets are reserved for them and their plays. They are safe from the life-crushing Jjugger‘nauts of modern traffic. At the age of ‘twelve an A.werican child aupholds his ‘own opinian against that of his par;onts and - opposes - his ‘reactions’ to ‘their ‘reactions.” They are treated and ‘addressed as if they were adults. At fifteen they go out to earn a llving, without losing their insouciance and their gayety. They will have known .neither - laziness, nor indolence. And ‘they will die without having noticed that they Lave lived. Quietness and retreat in the eventide of life, preparation for death; those are unknown ‘things in a country- where death’is but an insignificant detail.”—Pierre Van Paassen, in the Atlanta Constitution.

L:ke Dynamite

. There is nothing that a man will not do for the woman he truly loves! ‘There is a type of woman who knows .this and who, after having won the devoted love of a .nzn, proceeds to ‘use that love as a means of gaining her purely selfish ends. ¢ Many a woman of this type is hope.lessly extravagant. She knows that her husband will make any sacrificé ‘to gratify even her slightest whim, ‘But she often does not know that the very love which makes him spoil her ‘'will make him violently condemn her ‘if she indulges in dangerous indiscretions.

+ Love is somewhat like dynamite, If properly handled, it can gerye the ;mgst useful purposes. If treated .carelessly, it can cause havoe and ;even death.—True Story Magazine.

« Army Rations Long Ago

, How the American soldiers in the ‘old fort of Detroit used to fare is in'dicated by a warrant recorded in Sepytember, 1797, contained in the records iof Otto Stoll, register of deeds, and signed by Edward Day, department "commissary. The warrant reads: “The ‘United States owe at Detroit to ‘Messrs. Leith, Shepard and Duff, 5,185 -rations of soap at 22 cents a pound : ‘123 pounds beef at 10 zents a pound; ;81,736 rations af whisky at $2 a galvlon (one-half a gill being a ration); 5,404 rations of candles at 24 cents ‘a pound, and 24.88 G rations of vinegar at 6 cents a quart. ~ . Al of which quantities have become due to the ‘soldiery anterior to this date as appears by due bills of the assistant ‘commissary.”

, Mirrors 3,000 Years Old When the modern girl picks up a .hand-mirror to admire herself, she is only following the example of young women of 3,000 years ago. ’ Archeologists in Media, in Greece, have discovered in tombs of the Mycenaean period several hand-mirrors, .one with an ivory handle. Silvered' glass was unknown in those days, and -mirrors were made of sheets of polished metal. : : Even before polished metal was used, girls had their mirrors. They. ‘used polished stone, dipping it into water so that the thin film of liquid, ,would serve as a reflecting surface. |

Skunks Show Mercy Under the skunk Geneva convention the use of a gas-attack is strictly forbidden in any battle which only 'skunks are engaged in, says Nature :Magazine. In such a fight the com‘batants depend entirely on tooth uny claw. Sometimes that fierce death-in-the-dark, the great horned owl, will occasionally pounce on a strolling skunk, Usually, bowever, he finds that the latter’s antiaircraft armament is too! strong for him and retires without; honor to bear about with him the: aftermath of hig raid until his next molting. 5

BDisposition of Dead - Has Wide Variation Ceremonies associated with the various methods of dl&posing of dead the ‘world over are as interesting as they are varied. A

‘Modern npatlons as well as many primitive and oriental peoples practica inhumation, and with it their many and peculiar rites. But, as in bygone days, funeral ceremonies of today are most sacred and impressive oceasions.

Cremation or the burning of dead bodies to ashes, is now pructiced to a small extent in several countries, but is by no means new, says the Pathfinder Magazine. At the beginning of the Christian era cremation was the prevailing custom of the civilized world, with the exceptipn of Egypt where the dead were embalined ; Judea, where they were entombed in a sepulcher, and China, where they were buried in the earth. Christlan in humation, which is now universal, probably owes its origin to the doctrine of resurrection of the body, While cremation was practiced by the later Greeks, Romans, Danes and others, the first cremation societies were not formed until the Nineteenth century. This method of disposing of human bodies is now urged by some health authorities on sanitary grounds.

Love and Youth Can Always “Find a Way” Will love find a way? asks the Boston Globe, which then goes on to tell this: The observer had missed his train and was forced to wait an hour for the next. As he walked through the crowd of passengers from an incoming train he noticed the warmth of embrace of a young man and his girl friend. Apparently she was wel coming him home from a long trip. Ten minutes later he saw them in a strangle hold as a traln emptied its .passengers at another gate. As the ‘crowd dispersed, they parted. The boy friend was trailed. to the waliting room, where he met the girl, greeted ,her sans embrace, and sat down for :a chat again. As another frain was ‘announced, they again departed. The .youth mingled with the {incoming ;crowd and the girl ran up to meet ‘him. To the ordinary onlooker it was ‘'a fond welcome home, but to the obIserver it was an ingenlous system of ‘petting in public. Love will find a way.

Concerning “Tightwads”

- You are a tightwad, says a government budget expert, if your living ex_penses are 37 per cent of your Income, your savings 60 per cent and ‘the remaining 3 per cent scattered (among recreation, education and phi,lanthropy. You are a spendthrift if 'your living expenses are 58 per cent, your savings zero, your recreation 40 per cent. You are thrifty if your lving expenses are 50 per cent, your .oavings 20 per cent, education, giving fand recretion 10 per cent.

i It's a pleasure to meet a budget mak'er who emphasizes some necessities -of human living besides savings only, ‘and who will not give the palm to the {fellow who saves the most.—Kansas "City Times.*

First “Weather-Glass”

, The first mecurial barometer was _constructed chiefly for the purpose of _demonstrating the fact that air has Iweight, says Nature Magazine. Later ‘ this instrument acquired a great repu'"tation as a means of predicting weath(er and was nicknamed the “weatheriglass.,” Though its prophetic powers ‘are not now rated so high as former‘ly, it remains the most important of -meteorological instruments. The: column of mercury in the barometer rises and falls with changes of atmos‘pheric pressure, and its length is ‘measured by means of an attachm\ent called a “vernier,” with a much greater refinement of accuracy than is that of the column of mercury or alcohol in a thermometer.

Naval Range Finder

An accurate method of computing the distance between ships when the height of the enemy ship is not known is by the use of the optical range finder. This instrument is installed in the turrets of battleships. It consists of a long tube with optical prisms. The length of the tube is taken as the base of a triangle. The distance is then figured out mathematically. The degree of accuracy depends upon the visibility conditions and the distance can usually be ascertained within a few hundred yards of the exact distance. ‘

Progress in Lighting

A common laborer of today works about ten minutes each day to pay for the lighting of his home by means of electricity. A half-century ago he would have had to work two and one- ! half hours to provide the same’ amount of light by means of gas flames. And if he had supplied him-. self a half-century ago with the same! amount of light from candles he would' have had to work 24 hours every day to pay his lighting bill. For this great reduction in the cost of artificial lighting, modern science I 8 responsible.— Scientific American. & ’ ! Make Sure You're Right First be sure—that you are right, then go ahead. But be sure that you are right, More than one man has made the mistake of hugging a de-’ lusion under the impression that ne was embracing an opportunity.—Grit.
