IN POCKET MEANS OUT. The habit of carrying I.-jurse. snu of rrsiJy money I? a bid one, accor lir. to n Mr.aroial writer, and he urgea that every bit of money not n h .1 for current xpcnae.-s b; put into tho tank or into .some Found investment ?o that it may become productive. This not only mean a Letter financial outlook for the individual, but it adds to the working capital of the who! country, peedir. the, increase of production and thus contributory to the lowtrinj? of prices. Moro people are carriny Irre hums of pocket money than ever before. The more ;-.nyon carries in thiO'A-ay the niore he will .-pond. It rocs for all torts of mall xtrivKanct-a which would never i indulged in if the, purchaser had tlr.-t to go to tht bank or draw a. check. Ioss ami thievery are a double menace when one has the loose change habit. A perusal of "lot and found'' columns will show this plainly. The individual holdings in pocl'ot money ma seem a small matt r, but combined they represent a very large amount. It is said that if every rer.son in America withheld s from ilie banks or from investment in busine.-s or industry the total would exceed the value f all th' pold and would be more than half the currency in circulation in the United States. Judged by these standard?, keeping the dollars at work instead of dissipating them in insignificant amounts assum-.s a new importance.
KING ALEXANDER'S MARRIAGE. The fact recently revealed that King Alexander of (ireece has a morganatic wife seems to have caused almost as much of a commotion in his kingdom as events connected with the war. It is announced that the officers' corps of th' Grek army has decided that the monarch shall not b permitted to take his wife to Athtrs .-:r.d an ultlraatum is being drafted to th effect th it the kiiiL; nrT;.-t t b. oo-f between hi.-; wif and the throne. Alexander's' father, the deposed kinfr. is alM reported to be greatly perturbed over the affair and a fimily conference is to s-it on tho matter. Fr a meraber of royalty to marry outside tho strain of regal blood is considered an unpardonable ein by those who pride tlimslv-s on rank. While: wp believe that there is something in blood and that ood strain tells, it is also .true that families run out. The origin of kinghood lay in recognition of superior qualities in some chief or leider. lb cause one representative of a ra o exhibited true kingly properties of character it by n means follows that descendants in many crem rations will possess the same qualities. Vet that is the b .-is on which hereditary monarchies are foiiuilt 1. That is an ill-foumled principle, as has been abundantly demonstrated in I'uropc. Thrrc have b en ro.it men who h ive hopii kimr.- but they hae la en rare. Tiuiv h:ive h .is'tly gre.ite mon wh h.ol no rl.iim to roy;il ('.c.-vent. Intermarriage of the royal families has rendered decadent thisf who boast the hihet birth and the longest It Is not allege,! tltat A!eanler's morganatic wife is unworthy of h::;h riosition for any reason other than that she i.s not of the "anointed." Alexander has Hohenzo'.b rn Vdood (lowing in his veins. It would be well enough to counteract that taint in his children. Some ach reason may have actuated him in marryimr. though his alliance was co r.tractcd liefere he became k;n The (,reks should take pride in the fact that thir monarch had the oo 1 judgment to go outside tht limits i t" royalty in kintr a wlfv It may indicate that ho i. fu'lr- co-niant of the weakness of that cta. if Alex inder tells tb.e army otlicers to po henct at el clin.c to h.is wife at;l throne uUo he will siiow so:::e rf the attributes of a real king. If he yields he will demonstrate himself of the common varietv.
SA'E THE SCHOOLS NOW. Pennsylvania is probably no worse off in its tea. Vier .-h-rtaKe than th. rr.-: of country. I. ike the r st of th" country, Ke : tor,., .state is ca mpaignir.c for r.n-e t-:chers . . n I h: .-h r salaries for them.

But tho few are annually growing fewer. We are In danger of waking fortie day to the fact that the situation is past yavinp and that we must begin all over from the very bottom to rebuild our educational structure. Perhaps we need uch a rud shock to Inspire us to action, bat It would sem to be a far fer thinp for ourselves and our country to heed rre5nt warnings and act upon them now.
INFLUENCE OF BETTING ODDS. Wall rt. abhors speculative Inactivity as nature does a vacuum. Just now The Street Is experiencing one of the dullest periods of the year in its regular line of business. The public has suddenly abandoned the fame of guesinr the course of stock values and backing its puesn with cold cash. Hence, professional traders are p itting in some of their spare time and surplus money in puesslng the chances of presidential candidates instead of the fluctuations in securities lifted on the exchan.ee. The influence exerted by betting odds on men of average Intelligence is truly remarkable. At least this 1 a permi3?able deduction from the fact that thl kind of propaganda ha been 'winked at If not encouraged In times past by astuto politician on the eve of elections as well as of nominations. Gambling on eventualities of thU sort, which involve the reading of the mental processes of thousands If not millions of individuals, i.s more hazardous than gut-sidnir the stock market game; but possibly the dyspeptic Carlysle was not far wrong wher. he declared that man Is the "curlousest animal" in the universe. Certainly Wall street cannot hope to Influence the San Francisco convention or the election in November by Its betting odds, any more than it influenced the result of the Caleago convention.
DAMP FRIGHTS. "If you die an old maid you've yourself to blame" runs the old coster f-nnp, and a town councillor of Kent, in Knsland, thoroughly agrees. He argued recently in a Fpeech against public pools for mixed bathimr that many a young girl ruins her chances for matrimony by her unattractive appearance and immodest behavior at public bathing places. "Damp frights." he calls them. "Woman's beauty" says he, "is essential to marriage, the stability of the nation and the progress of the world." He believes that unlimited opportunity's for younjt men to see young women in this elisillusioning state would lower the matrimonla1 pert'f'ntac noticeably, and then where would Cngland be in a few years? Of course the council decided for mixed bathing, just as It should. But there is food for thought in what the critic says, for all that. He has struck a note for modest and pleasing appearance and careful behavior at public bathing places which may well be heeded In other countries beside England, ami by persons of both sexes not in the interests of matrimony, which will go on, "damp frights" or not. but In the Interest of a better state of things generally. Segregation or association In Itself means nothing; the ideals which govern either mean everything.
Undei- tr.e provisions of the will of a New Jersey millionaire a home for "respectable bachelors" will bo established, but the applicants must be more than 60 years old and have been residents of the state for at least 10 years. But what "respectable bachelor" would reside In New Jersey for 10 years unless forced to do so?
If the woman pardoned the other day was sent to prison because she compared the mothers of soldiers to "brood sows" the pardon Ls not likely to end the case In the minds of the soldiers' mothers, the soldiers or anybody else who has regard for the proprieties.
Mexico should have little trouble in reducing her army one-half, but she will face the danger of having the discharged soldier augment the bands of insurrectos by an equal number.
Nino out of 10 men on the street can tell you exactly tvhom the democrats will nominate, which makes the ignorance of the delegates on this subject the nioro amazing.
Firing nine-tenths of the useless generals and a. similar proportion of other useless ofileers would help Mexico very considerably In reducing her army. A nine-tenths reduction.
To "rrevent profiteering." the Newfoundland food control board has fixed the price of rugar at 30 cents a pound. Where do they think profiteering beL'ir.S?
The German chancellor believes the nation "has had enough of war for all eternity." Even if true. It took a good deal to .convince them of having enough.

THE DANGERS OF BORROWING YOUR NEIGHBOR'S PAPER. (Walkerton Independent.) A woman who was too economical to subscribe for her home paper sent her little son to borrow the copy taken by he neighbor. In lii3 haste the boy ran over a J 4 stand of bees and In 10 minutes looked like a warty summer squash. His cries reached his father, who ran to his assistance, and, failing to notice a barbed wire fence, ran into it. breaking it down, cutting a handful of llesh from his anatomy and ruining a $ pair of pants. The obi cow teok advantage of the gap in the fence and got into the corn field and killed herself eating corn. Hearing the racket th- mother ran, upsvta four-gallon churn of rich cream into a basket of kittens, drowning tho whole litter. In her hurry she dropped and broke, past all hope of mending, a $25 set of false teeth. The baby, lefi alone, crawled through the spilled cream and into the parlor, ruining a $25 carpet. During the excitement the eldest daughter ran away with the hired man, the dog broke up 11 setting hens, and tho calves got out and chewed the tails off of four line shirts. And all to save ."0 cents? Moral: Subscribe for this paper at once and protect yourself from such calamities.

More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
THE PLUMBER AND THE LITTLE 3LMD. A plumber loved a little maid A waitress with a pale complexion. But ducks and drakes she daily played With his uncouth, but fond affection. She loved him not she loved instead A young assistant to a grocer. And when he asked her would she wed. She answered with a giggle, "No, sir!" The plumber not a word replied. But bowed his head in mute submission. The way she said It hurt his pride. And in his breast there woke ambition. He labored harder at his trade. He soon began to wear wV-c collars And in a year or two he made Eleven -hundred-thousand dollars. No more he wore blue overalls. His clothes from England were imported. And every week he made six calls Upon the muid he once had courted. Again he asked her would she wed. And when she coyly answered. "Oh, sir, Of course I will." he coldly said. "Not me. you won't you'll take that grocer!" And so Rhe wed the grocery man But. oh! that plumber had no pity, Ily means of money he hesan To hound her husband from the city: Ambition, born of happy love.
The iron hand of fate will soften. But spite, as we have shown above Will serve the purpose just as often. (Copyright. 1920.)

) ' PATIENCi:. The quaint old fashioned name of Patience has a doubly worthy significance. Not only does it represent an abstract virtue which religion deems all-desirable, but It is also one of tho names of holiness. It means "bearing up" and is regarded entirely as an English name though its origin is with the Latin. "TV... tilt., Til1j nM-H.wt flrt to

iaillUUl IU1U 1UU as in mt: nrnvm came to have a higher significance with the advent of Christianity. Under Antonius Pius it became the name of a martyr Pope and later was used most frequently as one of the papal appellatives. Pia, the feminine, is still In usj in Italy. The English translated the virtue expressed in the title of Pius into their Patience, occasionally carrying it with Piety and Prudence, which they seem to consider identical. The Puritans are responsible for the vogue of Patience both in England and in this country. Etymological history reveals the fact that there was a St. Patiens, of Lyons, in early times and St. Prudentius was the great Christian poet. The turquoLse is the tallsmunic stone assigned to Patience. It will protect her from evil, especially from accidents. Tut'sduy ia her lucky day and Z her lucky number. (Copyright. 1920.)

Homes That Are Beautiful In Summer
The Value of Cretonnes
Much has been said of cozy homes that have been made to pass the winter comfortably. Too often we take down the draperies and curtains during summer and leave the house barren and uninviting. The heat of the summer is buoyed away by the lightness and daintiness of cretonnes. Not only are they used for hangings but for slip covers on the porch and in the living rooms to make the chairs more comfortable and cool to sit in. Cretonnes, according to the latest fashion news, is aiding Dame Fashion in the making of sport skirts and suits. There is also the new homespun, plain, striped and blox pattern for porch chair covers and clever sport suits. A wide variety of beautiful patterns from which to make selections. Priced 40c to $2.00 per yard.
