After all his riotous living it must have been pretty hard on the prodigal son to come down to veal. Many a dad who is satisfied with the necessities of life has a hard time keeping a family satisfied on the luxuries. Home is a place to start from to dine out. Keeping up with the neighbors keeps Father up with the books. When a man’s me falls off he begins to worry about the outcome. If you want to hear a real college yell, be around when Dad gets sonny’s request for money. They toil not, neither do they yet Solomon in all his glory was cabareted like one of these. We have been invited to a dinner to consider the Amelioration of the Condi- tion of the Poor, at $5 a plate.

When he finally shut up and departed for the Better Land an unaccustomed hush fell upon the village. During his lifetime he had differed with and from everybody iclse on’ politics, religion, and every other subject on earth or in the waters under the earth, and was always ready to so state. With him the two sides to every question were his own side and plumb foolishness. He never argued; he simply announced his posi- tion, and attempted to outeyell all opposi- tion. At almost any hour of the day, and often until fairly late at night, the in- terested bypasser could hear emanating from his little cobbler shop the whackity- Holding Up the Nation’s Defense The telephone played atremendous part in this Nation’s mobilization for war. It con- tinues vital to the Government's program. At the same time it has remained at the service of the whole people whose de- mands upon it grow apace with that of the Government.
