Sometimes we art1 apt to forgot tl .*

day to day. Somebody has said tha*
the greatest hero is not t’nt* man t
whom conies the opportunity to u
something so dramatic in its nature
that it atttacts the attention of many,
but rather the mail who in the toutin'
and humdrum of his daily life <io« s
his duty to his country, his commun
ity. his family, his associates, his fel
low men. It i' much the more diffi
cult task.
Those men whose routine and hum
drum it is to enforce the laws tin* peo
ple have made for their government
are constantly exposed to the caprices
of the mad and the vengeance of the
vicious. They know it. and they face
it with calmness, il* they are heroes,
refusing to penult it to deter them
from doing their duty.
And it is well to liear in mind that
constant unwarranted criticism and
nagging of those who are serving the
public often suggests crime to the
mail, and that criminals frequently go
to extremes in crime if they think
tl ey have respectable hacking or sym
pathy. (Juneau Kmpirc.)

l am writing this to he enlightened 1
on a matter very dear to my heart, j
Several yea's ago 1 was quietly but '
firmly married to a lady whom I
hought was of a very gentle, retiring ,
and lovable disposition. I now find
that she is a cross between a cranky
mule and tho seven years’ itch. While
not exactly aggressive l must say that
she is very determined^ in her ways
and leaves nothing to the arbitration ;
hoard. She has a way of her own io .
presenting her views and opinions
i cidedly4 convincing. She speaks
»vely and I may say uninterruptedly |
and so far she has never Inst an argu- '
ment with me unless I may except ti e
other evening when she fell asleep
while l still had the floor.
Site makes biscuits frequently not
because 1 like them but because she
likes them. <To keep peace in the
family I generally like anything that
she likes). Wh<|t she gets hold of a
dollar of mine Secretary Glass snat
ches it off the Treasury hooks i>i

er appear in circulation again. The

sent price of fifteen cents a quart is
being demanded by distributors to
compensate them for increases requii !
ed by the producers. Statistics com- j
piled show a d< crease in production in
the last year of more than one thous

trict.
Condemnation and killing of mane
cows because of tuberculosis has been
| a large factor in the decreased produc
tion and may dairymen have been
turning to the raising of beef cattV'j
as more profitable than dairying, j
Costs of foodstuffs are high in Hon j
