A chap who was living in the woods near Kempville; Ont,, as a hermit has been found 4o have $4,000 in the bank. Apparently that .is the only way a fellow could get that much to put in a bamk im these days.

Among the things the ordinary mortal has no trouble starting, we aright include ithe following: An argument—with any man, \Fish stories—with any man’s wife. Up-to-date scandal—with any man and any man’s wife. —But How Do They End?— Just A Suggestion. Wae suggest that the man, who keeps a sign on his safe telling ban- Wits’ that there is no money within and giving them the true combina- tion, might hetter place a “for sale” sign on said safe. —Might Get. More Action— When Folks Grow Up. ‘When the “purity squad” and this deague and that club get into action they seem to forget that they were once young and Wwere probably at- tending dances themselves when they were about “sweet sixteen.” And if anyone had attémpted to drive them {rom the city dances and out into the country, we'll bet they would have rafsed some POW-WOW. —Which Is Worse— Now We Know.

This donke, he should sow six pounds of clover and timothy seed mixed, to the acre.” This is the advise of M. J. Thompson, superintendent of the Northeast Ex- periment station at Duluth, who says conditions for brushing and seeding are the best since 1915. 4 “Labor and grass seed are the most important factors in this work,” says Mr. Thompson. “Three pounds of clover geed can be bought for price of one a year ago, while labor is de- cidedly cheaper, more plentiful and more efficient. The grass and clover sown now will not only produce excel- Jlent pasture in 1922, but when the land is gtumped and the first crop planted, the sod formed will begin to pay diyidends. B “At Dulwth, in 1920, the presen of a grass and clover sod betweem the stumps made a difference of 20 bushels of cats and 50 bushels of po- tatoes per acre in the first erop on virgin land over and above the yleld where a grass sod had never been formed. Furthermore, it is usually assumed that land in this condition is worth $25 an acre more than it ws in its wild state, and it is cer- tainly much more salable. ‘‘Converting 'a fleld of brush into a tame grass pasture that can be used for fall feeding the present year is gomething worth while."” SATISFIED ‘WITH DULL LIVES Slamese Require Little, and Have a Government Which Sees That They Get It, Bangkok, for all Its modern water- works and trolley cars, Is a fairy-tale land, with a fairy-tale king, writes Florence Burgess Meehan in Asia Magazine.

STOCK TICKER NOT WATCHED Lobbyist Still Around, but His Former Brazen Methods Have Been Aban- doned — Many - Senators Promoted From' Lower House: By EDWARD 'B. CLAR Washington.—There are many new foces today In the United States sen- ate, and also a greatly increased ma- Jority of Republican faces, but it is the same old United States senate that it has been for ten years. < Just- what does~one‘mean by this? Well, the senate is-composed of aver- age patriotic 'American citizens, of a litle more than average -ability in most cases, and In some cases of a good" deal more than average ability. The senate always has been this way, bt in"gne sense’ the United States senate has changed. The gquestion has been asked occa- sionnlly if the direct election of the sefintors has changzed. 'tlfe senate body materially, The same type of Amer- Ican |s there todny that was there in the old days, although it is probable that some men are in the upper housc today”who would not be there it the legislatures still had the right of ‘selec- tion, - There were cases in the elder day where rich men seemed to find thelr way into the senate of the Uni- ted States when in ‘Some instances poor men' had no chance, ' ‘Tlé ‘reason may not be hard to guess. There was a time in the history ot the senate when the members left the floor frequently to go out and look at the' tape Tunning “out' of the stock ticker. Hourly some of the’senators were . watching the markets. Why? Again- the:reason may be guessed. It might he sald, however, that it'is not intended tointimate that many of the senators were trying to get rich out of the ‘stock ‘market through advance Information which they had of the way which legislation affecting the public ‘utilitles was ' likely to jump. Ticker and Bar Both Gone. After-a good many years in Wash- Ington one may write that hethinks those old-day ways have - gone and probably gone forever. ‘The stock ticker no Tonger ticks in' the corridor of con- gress. It went the way of the “old bar over which many a glass was handed out containing semething much stronger that cold ten. The lobbyist still frequents the halls of congress, but his methods have ~undergone a reformation. He does: not buttonhole | senators ‘as they are about to enter upon the floor, nor, as was actually the case in some’instances in the past, beckon the obedient senator to trot from the' floor to the hall to consult with the lobbyist on pending legisla- tion, It might be asked if even in the old days such a thing as that last set down was possible, It was possible, and not only possible but it was not ot infrequent “occurrence. When the rallrond . rate bill was under discus- siou [n the senate, the bill which final- Iy became a‘law, a rafirond lobbyist made hig morning and afternoon head- quarters in the: reception room just across the hall from the private en- trance to the senate chamber. Per- sonally I saw one of the leaders of the senate, who largely ‘was charged with the duty of ‘putting the bill through, leave his seat several times to seek the lobbyist in the secluded corner there to confer with Mm. Those days are gone and with them have gone from the senate seemingly the particular type of man who in- dulged In that kind of practice. Many From Lower House. . A great many men are promoted from the house of reppesentatives to the senate. ‘In fact, it is probable that the majority of ‘the senators have served at one time or another in the lower house, The average of ability in the two chambers seems. to be about the same, although perhaps it is a trifie higber In the senate than it is in the house because of the fact that the men whose ability shone most conspicaously were those promoted. ‘Fhere are men of commanding abil- ity in the United States scnate, and | PERKINS, AN ADVERTISEMENY S A PICTURE OF A PRETTN GIRL.

One is not expected to name names in”this case, but one cannot remain : in Washington looking on things for a good many years without learning ‘a’ thing or 'two which seem to, be past- the power .of challenge. There Is demagogism in the senate as there IS in the house; not much of it, but enough. There are men in the senate who. are not good Americans; a precious few of them, but still they are there. The country knows pretty well who they are and if the whole countty could have a say in the mat- ter they” probably would' never be re- turned to their sents. However, taking things all in all, the' United States senate today under popular election of ifs members is perhaps a saner, more patriotic’ and abler body than it was In the days when the legislatures had elections. 1776 1777 July 11785 BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY " PAYS MUCH IN BENEFITS During the last year $155,788 was distributed among employees of the Northwestern Bell Telephone = com- pany as pensions,” and as accident, sickness, death and disability bene- fits, according to the annual state- ment of the Employees Benefit com- mittee. Last year the company spent nearly twice as much for employees’ benefits as'during 1919, and more than six times as much as in 1913, the year the plan started.
