It is believed that the starch
trust will stifly combat the dissolu
tion order of the Federal court.
The' most notable result of the
presidential election is the joining
hands of the West and South.
President Wilson was reelected by
the West and South, which he
emancipated from the Wall Street
yoke. He is the only man since
Andrew Jackson who has defied
the money power of this country.
The recent election brought the
most sweeping victories for the
t anti-saloon cause in the history of
the movement. Four states, con
taining a population of 5,400,166.
an area of 326,112 square miles,
equaling more than one-twelfth of
the area of the United States, went
from wet to dry. Of the 2,543
counties in the United States, 2,
04? were dry, either by statute or
local option, before the election
November ?, when 191 more
counties were added, leaving only
355 wet counties in the entire na
tion. _
The little $2,500,000 collected
by the Republicans popular sub
scription is mere a little joke. At
best we can only surmise, but it
is probable $50,000,000 if the
truth was known. The Republi
cans were pledged to repeal the
Underwood bill. The phraseology
of the Repulican platform was no
accident. Repeal meant the re
peal of the income tax. which is
over $200,000,000, nearly all of
which comes out of the multi
millionaire Republicans, as there
ain’t no such animals in the Demo
cratic party, so you can see they
would be making a good invest
ment. to spend $50,000,000 and
get the income tax repealed and
save over $200,000,000 every
year. Fine idea, eh?
A BY-PRODUCT OP GOOD ROARD.
Several states that have been in
vesting in good roads and observ
ing the results report that in many
counties they have enabled ten
more children out of every hundred
to get an education. Before the
boys and girls in remote districts
could not attend on account of the
impassable condition of the high
ways for the greater part of the
school year. As soon as hard,
permanent roadbeds are provided,
new pupils appear at the rural
schools and old pupils attend more
regularly. A storm or thaw is less
formidable.
This bv-product of road building
has received little attention.
Nearly all the emphasis in good
roads propaganda is generally put
on economic factors—getting crops
to market more easily and prompt
ly. saving wear and tear on con
veyances, the increased value of
real estate, etc. But perhaps the
educational factor is even more im
portant. It isn't confined to the
children, either. The parents are
benefitted just as much intellect
ually a their sons and daughters
are. by being able to get around the
neighborhood easily and comforta
bly in all seasons.

Lion Roars, Instead of
Purring, Because a Bone
in His Throat Is Loose
One of the most interesting discov
eries made lately is that of Sir Rich
ard Owen that the lion roars, instead
of purring, simply because the hyoid
bone in his throat is loose.
In the cat this bone is stationary, so
that the cat purrs and cannot roar, but
in the lion and tiger the hyoid is
loose, and therefore even when calling
to their mates the larger members of
the cnjt family roar. The roars of the
jaguar and leopard are like “hoarse,
barking coughs, an interval of about
one second separating the expiratory
efforts,” says this observer. They may
be easily reproduced or imitated by
sawing a piece of thin board with a
coarse-toothed saw. The cheetah, how
ever, calls with a decided mew, very
much like that of the cat.
R. I. Pocqck, superintendent of the
London boo, explains that those
of the felidae or cat family that
have an elastic ligament between
the ceratohyal and the upper ele
ments of the suspensorlum (lion, 1
tiger, leopard, jaguar) roar, but
never purr; while all the other species
of the felidae, with normally con
structed hyids, purr, but never roar,
and among these are the cheetah and
puma.
I Am “Granny” Chamberlain
Everybody’s friend when they have
coughs and colds and their children
have croup and whooping cough.
Most everyone knows me. 1 have
been going from home to home for
nearly fifty years—always welcome,
too, for 1 never fail in their hour of
need.
1 have helped young mothers whose
babies were choking with croup, and
been the comfort of parents whose
children tramp to school through the
wet winter weather. Many a cold
and attack of bronchitis I have warded
off, and thousands I have helped
through the anxious moments o f
whooping cough. I have come to the
aid of mothers and fathers when they
bad colds and influenza, and have
been a relief to old folks suffering
from bronchitis and asthma.
I have had a most varied experience; I go everywhere
among the rich and the poor, in cities and the country.
Now don’t forget "Granny” Chamberlain! You will see me
often now, for 1 am going to tell you of my experience and
what can be done in your home with

“Marrying Parson’’ Lays
Down Set of Ten Rules to
Guide Husband Seeker
“Shun the rouge pot, copy the
cat, avoid witticism and keep
silent like a clam” is the advice
given to marrying girls by Rev.
John H. Pierce, the “marrying
parson” of Oakland, Cal., who
has wedded 4,000 couples in his
lifetime. Rev. Mr. Pierce has
laid down the following ten
rules for feminine guidance:
1. Plan your campaign with
the wisdom of the serpent, con
ceal it with the silence of a
clam, execute it with the strat
egy of a Machlavelli.
2. Avoid all witticism about
marriage.
3. Veil with alluring helpless
ness the iron of Belf-sufllcleuey.
4. When a man declares “I
shall never marry” murk him
for easy prey.
5. Be inwardly bold as a lion;
outwardly timid as a young
fawn.
6. The loudest flattery is the
silence of attention. When he
speaks, listen. It is Incense to
his pride.
7. Shunt the rouge pot and
powder puff, for many a maid
has lost out by sailing under
false colors.
8. Pick out a chemical affin
ity. Remember, oil won’t mix
with water, but it will with
myrrh.
9. Copy the cat, for it is
squeezable; and the dove, for it
coos caressingly; and the whip
poorwill, for it seems elusive.
10. Remember that the su
preme test of a man is a kiss.
If he ■will not yield under its
pressure, scorn him; he is either
a brute or an idiot.

Where No Tsxes Are Paid.
Happy and free from the worries of
war taxation are the people of Lundy
island, that little speck off Devon In
the English channel, the “king” of
which, Rev. Hudson Hetven, died a
short time ago. The reverend gentle
man administered the affairs of the
island from 1887 to 1904, as his futher,
who bought the Island in 1834 for about
$9,000, did before him. The Inhabitants
of Lundy number about forty und lead
an uneventful life. They pay no
taxes, are attached to uo parish or
Onion ami have ho poor. "The Island
has a romantic and lawless history
and was once considered an excellent
harbor and refuge for murderers.
Bnrdsley Island, situated In the Irish
sen, off the county of Carnarvon, is
another spot where the tax collector Is
unknown. There are about sixty peo
ple on the Island, who elect their own
king. The inhabitants are mostly en
gaged in farming and fishing. The
island got its name from the tradi
tion thut it was the last retreat of the
Welsh bards. In ancient times it had
a reputation for sanctity and to he
buried on its soil was an honor much
to be desired. It is believed that more
than 50,000 "saints” gained this
privilege.
