It takes a certain amount of cold
cash to generate a hot old time.
The new battleship Pennsylvania
is said to be the largest fighting
ship in the world and cost $13,
000,000. And yet, with all its
apparent nobility of appearance,
its royalty of equipment and its
empire of protective guns, a $100,
000 submarine could send it to the
bottom in 30 seconds.
Five dollars saved each month
will buy a small farm in a few
years. Every laboring man here
should save this amount at least,
many could save more, as the saw
milling industry will be a thing of
the past in this country by the
time your children are of age, and
unless you save for them they will
have no home and probably no pub
lic work to support them as you
have. _
Great Britian, through one of her
most influential and popular men of
affairs, has acknowledged her most
dangerous enemy. “We are fight
ing Germany.Austria and drink and
so far as 1 can see, the greatest of
these three deadly foes is drink,”
said David Lloyd-George, chancel
lor of the exchequer. For years
the world has looked upon England
as a country of merchants and
money-makers, little realizing, per
haps, that she is also the greatest
consumer of liquors. Russia did
away with the vodka habit to a re
markable degree; France has pro
hibited the sale of absinths; Ger
many has cut down the soldier’s
allowance of malt liquor while in
the trenches. Great Britian, ap
parently, been watching the trend
of events and will profit by the ex
amples of her allies and enemies.
BLAME THE WOMAN.
In a nearby city not long ago a
man was arrested for forgery. His
wife was arrested, too, as an ac
cessory both before and after the
fact. The man confessed, and
threw the blame on the shoulders
of his wife. His confession, how
ever, didn't serve him in good
stead, for he was convicted and
sentenced to prison. The wife, as
most wives do, shared the disgrace
with her unworthy spouse and was
also sentenced, although afterward
paroled. Since Adam ate the
celebrated fruit in the well known
Garden of Edan men have had the
unhappy faculty, after all other ex
cuses have failed, of blaming it on
the woman. The woman, it
seems, has not enough burdens of
her own to bear. She must also
play the role of the scrapegoat for
the man. Women are often bad:
it has been said by a philosopher or
t v - that when women are bad they
are bad clear through. “Hell hath
no fury like a woman scroned," it
is said, too. It is perhaps just as
/ true that hell hath no inhabitants
as degenerate as a bad woman.
But most bad women are bad
through some man, and the male
population with this in view should
quit throwing all the responsibility
on the other half of the human
family. They have enough to bear!
and society frequently remembers'
it. although women still refuse to |
forgive their sisters for overstep-’
ping the line of decorum.
DIAGNOSING HIS CASE
By ELLA CYGAN.
"Who is that out on the front porch
with Mary?” belligerently in<julred
Sanddinger as he entered the family
living room.
"Why, I thought I heard Mary in
troducing you when you came up,”
Mrs. Sanddinger said In some surprise.
“It’s a new young man—”
“Oh, I know he’s new and his name
Is Biffklrk and he’s got fus* o® his
cheeks like a gosling!" interrupted
Sanddinger with hostility. "I'd Kke to
know what he's doing around here,
that’s all.”
"Why, he’s calling on Mary," pro
tested Mrs. Sanddinger. "Htfli per
fectly nice and there isn't any i®as«u
why he shouldn’t call. What xiakc-s
you act so, Sp.muel?”
“How do you know he’s nicef” de
manded her husband. “I tell yon, the
carelessness of the modern parent is
something awful! Here you sit calm
ly crocheting and allowing your daugli
ter to entertain out on the front
porch an utterly strange young
man—”
“My goodness, Samuel!” said his
wife. "He’s not utterly strange! Har
ry Thompson introduced him in the
first place and his mother is a second
cousin of Harry Thompson’s father—’’
“Harry Thompson!” breathed Sand
dinger, dilating his nostrils and glar
ing at his wife as though he had de
tected her in the act of poisoning the
family. "Who is Harry Thompson
that you should take his word as
gospel law in conducting the affairs of
this household.
"Why, I’ve heard you praising up
Harry many a time!” protested Mrs.
Sanddinger in surprise.
“Well, that was ten years ago.” said
Sanddinger. "When he was a mere
child. You can’t tell at all how a boy
is going to turn out when he's thir
"How Do You Know He’s Nic^T"
een and wears a floppy tie and t
aintlike look. I’ve had my suspicion
f Harry Thompson ever since he'.
)een hanging around so much the last
ew years.”
"I certainly am surprised!” said
Irs. Sanddinger. “Harry has always
jeen like one of the family! He has
>erfect manners and is so jolly and
le’s not a bit sentimental over Mary!
They're Just good friends who’ve
jrown up together!”
“T>on’t tell me!” said Sanddinger
darkly. "If he doesn’t persuade her
to elope right from under your nose
you may count yourself In luck!
You’ll have no one but yourself to
blame! Unless this PifT-Biffkirk fel
low gets in ahead of him! Why, that
fellow had a look in his eyes when 1
came up the steps that—”
“Now, Samuel!” protested Mrs.
Sanddinger. "I must say I think you
are decidedly peevish and unjust! 1
don’t see why you should act so, al!
of a sudden!”
“That’s right! Attack me because
I take an interest in my own family
and wish to forestall elopements and
unhappy marriages! Anyhow, I won’t
have these young idiots putting wed
ding Ideas In Mary's head! She’s too
young for such ncnsense! I won’t
have it and I’m surprised that yor, her
mother, should be negligent and tfcort
sighted.”
"Do you know how old Mary fs?”
demanded her mother. “Twenty her
last birthday!”
"Twenty!” scoffed Sanddinger.
“That’s a mere child! There are en
tirely too many young men hanging
around here! I've been going to speak
about that young Hinkle for some
time. He always acts as though he
supposed I was glad to see him—
gives me a handshake that a promoter
might use when planning to steal
your eye teeth! I don’t like his style!
And this Miff-Piff-Bilfkirk—I'm going
right out now and call Mary in! She
can send him home—”
"Samuel,” said Mrs. Sanddinger in
cool, clear tones, “you sit right where
you are! I’ve just decided what’s the
matter with you! Most fathers are
that way. I know mine was. The
trouble wdth you is that you're just
plain Jealous! That’s It! You’re
jealous for fear Mary will like some
of them better than she does you!
And she will—you can bank on that!
So you might as w-ell swallow your
medicine gracefully and retire to a
back seat! They’re all perfectly fine
fellows and you’re simply Jealous’”
"I’m not!” growled Sand&nger.
sinking back into his chair. “The
idea! Say, it’s fierce having a daugh
ter grow up!”—Chicago Daily Ngwa.

NEW FURNITURE
The last thought follows the others—the next one is the
Monroe Furniture Co. Big Store
is the PLACE to find the QUALITY I like at PRICES I can
afford to pay.
By buying for our two stores and paying no rent, as we
own our own building, we can naturally do business on a less
margin of profit.
A comparison of our prices with others will soon convince
you of the truth ol this statement. We do not ask you to ac
cept it otherwise.
Write us today about the pieces you will need when you
clean house. We know the things you have been wishing for are
here. And the prices won't be as much as you thought. De
livery can be made after the cleaning is over, if you so desire.
