with a pea-green pain. Some
day you’ll find you’ve lose your
pep, you’ll feel red rust in every
bone, and every time you take a
step your weariness will make
you groan. For wintry age
comes on apace, your golden
years have heard their knell, the
whiskers whiten on your face,
and you wear teeth of tortoise-
sheik And when arrives that
day of fate, if you were wise in
seasons gone,, you seat yourself
in pomp and state, and let the
good old world wag on. You
sawed your cordwood, rich and
rank, when you were in your
manhood’s prime, and now, in
yonder savings bank, you have
the kopeck and the dime. You
have the wherewithal to buy the
simple thing the gaffer needs,
some stogies and a kickless pie,
a corkscrew and a string of
beads. A goodly competence is
fine, when you are old and tired
and gray, and you can sit be-
neath your vine, and watch the
long hours slide away. And as

Quick Riches.
Glad missives come by every
mail, inviting me to get rich
quick, to send away my cher-
ished kale to some Napoleon,
smooth and slick. “Why like a
carthorse toil and strain for bee.
and board?” Napoleons ask;
“oh, come and join our get rich
train, and thus on silken couches
bask. You’ve doubtless had
your visions grand, when gor-
geous rolls were in your view ;
now come and join our get rich
band, and we will make your
dreams come true.” I used to
fall, when I was young, for all
such faking schemes as these;
by smooth Napoleons I was
stung, as you’ve been stung by
bumblebees. I sunk my coin in
divers snares, in projects neither
safe nor sane, invested wealth in
polar bears, and backed up
schemes for making rain. Napo-
leons in some distant place got
all the money I could earn; I
shipped it off with princely
grace, and never saw a cent re-
turn. Napoleons in a cheerful
ring, ate canvasback from costly
plate, and said, “It is a splendid
thing that suckers go for any
bait.” . Ah, well, my friends, we
live and learn, and when we’re
stung a thousand times, we
gather sense enough to spurn
the wizard who would have our
dimes. In safety I have placed
my store, where sinful men can’t
pry it loose; and now I do not
walk the floor, for fear some
wizard will vamoose.

Easy Philosophy.
Philosophy is easy when one is
stacking high, and one can hand
out breezy remarks to those who
sigh. For weeks it has been
raining out here where I abide;
and people are complaining as
through the mud they slide.
Jim Whitaker was roaring
around the other night; “the
way the rain keeps pouring,” he
grumbled, “is a fright. The
silly rain keeps swatting my root
with mournful sound; my gar-
den sass is rotting and spoiling

but everything is floating, I can
not dig ttie soil.” “Cheer up,” I
cried, “old croaker, your grum-
bling is a crime; this rain is sure
a soaker, but it will end in time.
meeting of farmers and repre-
sentatives of various union or-
ganizations of the city. The
meeting held at the auditorium
of the City Hall was to have been
addressed by W. K. Fitzwater,
national president of the order,
•who telegraphed at the last min-
ute his inability to be present.
Plans for the organization
were laid out and strongly sup-
ported by many men who are
taking an active part in the state
organization. W. J. Dickson,
state organizer of Collin county,
proved the most interesting
talker of the evening. He lam
basted the Federal Reserve Sys-
tem, which he pronounced

at large, and urged the laboring
Veterans’ Wives and Widows

Washington, D. C., March 28.
—Widows of honorably dis-
charged soldiers, sailors and ma-
rines who served in the world
war, and wives of injured sol-
diers, sailors and marines of that
war who themselves are not
physically qualified to hold posi-
tions in the civil service, but
whose wives are qualified, will

examinations for postmaster-
ships at first, second and third
class postoffices that is given to
tie men themselves, under the
Civil Service Commission’s inter-
pretation of the executive order
of October 14, 1921, it is said in
a statement issued by the Com-
mission today.
In other words, the Commis-
sion states, under its interpreta-
tion it will apply the executive
order to the same classes of
world war veterans, their wid-
ows and wives, that is provided
for positions in the classified
civil service by the veteran pref-
erance act of July 11, 1921.
Postmasterships at offices of
the first, second and third
classes are not classified under
i;he civil service law, although
filled through competitive ex-
amination under executive order,
and such military preference as
is allowed in examinations for
such offices is also provided by
executive order.

I lamented, “This rain storm has

Germany Had Thirteen Millions
Under Arms.
Berlin, March 26.—Forty-six
men were killed and 169 wound-
ed on the German side during
every hour the world war was
raging, according to an estimate
arrived at by General Von

of official records.
Germany’s losses totaled in
dead 1,808,545 and in wounded
4,246,779. Men to the number
of 13,000,000 were under arms
during the course of the war, of
whom about one in seven was
killed in battle.
The officers’ corps lost 53,000
men killed and 96,000 wounded.

losses through death, caused
directly or indirectly by the war,
are estimated by General Von

Big Savings for the Thrifty
Housewife.
Few homes indeed do not feel
the need of economy. The
necessity of making every pen-
ny count touches the purse of
every housewife. It is doubtful
if there is a single article em-
ployed as a food or in the prepa-
ration of food that demands
more buying wisdom than Bak-
ing Powder. Upon its quality
depends the success and economy
of the bakings themselves.
Calumet Baking Powder en-
ables the housewife to make
three worth while savings. She
saves when she buys it—it is
moderate in price. She saves
when she uses it—she uses only
half as much as is required of
most other powders. She saves
materials it is uesd with—it
never permits bake-day failure.
Any woman can use Calumet _■ - ...

Klux Klan.
Dallas, Tex., March 25.—Ques-
tions as their affiliations with
the Ku Klux Klan are perfectly
proper demands on candidates
for public office in Texas, and
the people are entitled to know
the position of candidates if they
desire, Governor Pat M. Neff
said tonight at Loveridge farm,
south of Dallas, where he is a
week-end guest of Thomas B,
Love.
Governor Neff was shown a
copy of a local afternoon news-
paper’s editorial of Friday con-
taining a questionnaire proposed
for candidates and expressed a
willingness to answer each one
of the questions. The questions
and his answers follow:
“Do you belong to the Ku
Klux Klan?”
“I do NOT.”
“Do you intend to become a
member before or after you are
elected to office?”
“No.”
