Providing his heart is in the right place, we often play just as safe with a father-in-law and a nice, big flock of shoats as we do when he attach a pater-in-law who is the head of some money loan- ing concern, What gives a man more hope—what is more cheering and inspiring—than to have the parcel post wagon dock at the horse-block with a cargo of home-cured hams? If a young man has selected a. father-in-law with a disposition to contribute with the ham occa- sional turnips, squash, beans, butter, eggs, etc., he may be said to have done exceedingly well. A start is thus assured before he makes a start. There is something in the ownership of a father-in-law with hams that gives a young man considerable prestige in a community. In a neigh- borhood where everybody is compelled to eat that liquid-smoked ham, the sight of father-in law in front of our house, taking from his Ford a genuine cob-smoked, sugar-cured ham, excites just as much interest as a health officer tacking up a smallpox sign or a dog having a fit on the lawn. And speaking about hams, reminds us of Christmas. What present is more useful to a strug- gling young husband than father-in-law’s ham, or anybody else’s ham, for that matter, especially when the recipient is endeavoring to meet the pay- ments on a bungalow ¢ quipped with a plumbing system that freezes and a furnace that can’t heat a dog house? Many fathers-in-law, when they don’t send a black-hand letter, make jackets or amber cigar he such presents as smoking yiders. When a struggling young man is so close up that Ite has to wait until he pays his grocery bill smoke, the cigar holder very often in use. A father-in-law may desirable traits. He may before he can get a free and smoking jacket aren’t have a number of very un- y have a rash temper; pos- sibly Sundays he wears felt boots to town in win- ter and eats rhubarb with his. knife in summer. He may further embarrass you by his grammar and his inability to intelligently discuss anything other than phonograph music. the classic art of fatteni gentle with him. If he c Nevertheless, if he understands ng and curing a ham, be ouples generosity with his art, any such blamed father-in-law is O. K., and we want right here to wish him on our sons and daughters.

Williams testified there has been a rule estab. lished by Chief Lang forbidding the use of the Hudson automobile by any one but himself. The Hudson, it should be added, isn’t Lang’s machine; it belongs to the city. But Lang made this rule and has allowed only one exception. IN CASES OF EXTREME EMERGENCY, THE CHIEF'S MACHINE MAY BE USED, BUT IN SUCH CASES A WRITTEN REPORT MUST BE MADE, CRIBING IN DETAIL THE NATURE OF ? EMERGENCY, SO THAT THE CHIEF MAY KNOW THAT NO ONE ABUSED THE PRIV- ILEGES OF THAT CAR. Well, what’s the point, you say?
