Rippling Rhymes

IN THE ammo

By Walt MW.

When I have played my dera-
Chord until my'arms are sore. I and
s. solace and reward in rest before
my door. Before my cottage door
I rest. a tranquil, calm old spo‘t,
ropecting I have dons‘my‘best to
lodge the bankrupt court. My stom-
bat gambols round my chair. or
paws the turf hard by. and on the
balmy evening air I hear my yard-
vark's cry. All my surroundings
hint of peace, and cloudless are my
skies: and I sit dosing while my
niece protects me from the files. I
could not rest in comfort thus I
left bills unpaid. if I owed money
to some cus in yonder mart. of
trade. My creditors. in grim array,
would ruin my repose. and ask me
why I do not pay for cheese and
suits of clothes. In dreams I'd we
the druggist come, with bailiffs in
his train, demanding pay for sticks
of gum and pills that conquer» pain.
In drehms I'd hear the lawyers talk
of penalties and pains, unless I paid
for chow and chalk from out my
meagre gains. I rould not see my
peace destroyed by men with bills
long due. and debt is one thing I
avoid. as I‘d avoid the flu. I punch
my tlmbrel left and right. the ko-
pecks to provide; and rest whrn
comes the brooding night, my wont-
but by my side.

 

Mellon's Great Work.

 

Secretary Mellon's annual report
to Congress is the account of a stout-
ardshlp for which the country ought
to be profoundly thankful. Once
again he has to record a great r.-
ductlon in the public debt. this time
one of $013,674,343. Thus the debt
which was at the' high figure of
824.229.321.000 on June 30. 19:”.
had been reduced to 822.082.203.0“0
by Oct. 31 of this year. No more
brilliant chapter has been written in
the history of the country's finan-
cial administration since the days of
Alexander Hamilton. says the N. Y.
Evening Mail.

That happy result is due to Sec-
retary Mcllon's strict attention to
business. Escewing all political con-
sciderations he has given the son’-
ices of his brilliant brain and. great
thought unobtrusive energy complete
to his country’s service. As a rc=ult
the chaos which faced lil'm when he
took office has been reduced to or—
der; the dark shadow cast. by the
expenditures over the country’s fu-
ture is no longofio formidable.

As in his letter to Chairman
Greene of the ways and means com-
mittee Secretary Mellon in this re-
port again stresses the need for lav
reductions. In a strictly business-
like Illilllnf’r he shows that "high
laxatiori means a high price level
and a high cost. of living." Ilc ex-
poses again the fallacies of .lione
v;l ~ hope to lilo-id the rich by inn-

tlnulng or lilt‘l‘t‘flblllg the surmv-s.
Ho- llillltq-u with approval the r-si‘.
mat-.- of the lruvrury actuary that
if the surttucs are cut. to a 23 per

cent. maximum they will be 1026
yield more in the treasury than lhvy
others really want to bleed the rich.
the way to do it. is to follow 80ch-
tnry Mellon's advice. not to continue
surtuves that. the rich dodge easily
and that cripple industry.

"it can safely be said." the report
states, “that reduction in the incnme
tax reduces expenses not only of thr-
T.Nt(l.000.000 income taxpayers but
of the entire. 110,000,000 people of
thr- l'nlted States." Of course it,rlo<.-s.
strict a very large part of every tax
mus be borne by the ultimate "on-
sumers. who must pay the full cost
of producing what they consume.
That. truth should be recognize)
everywhere and by every person.
including the advocates of the
bonus. a

Mr. Mollon's report contains a
neat lesson on finance for the farm
hloe which is calling for red'w-ul
freight rates. The roads. he points
out. must pay higher interest nice
for capital and higher prices for
commodities because of high taxa-
tion. Hence they must charge
higher freight rates. Reduce tux-
atinn and the freight rates can be
brought down is the lesson.

If words 0? wisdom were always
sure of s. responsive audience, the
country could look forward hope-
fully to the action of 1; Congress
which has the benefit of Mr. t-fel-
lon's able advice.

 

IIO‘V TO MATERIALIZE.
That by visualizing. you can
"bring any ideal into the world of
reality," was tested in the following
manner. says Alberta. Mastin Carter
in Nautilus.

Morning after morning. I sat in
front of our; kitchen stove making
least for the family's breakfast. on
the broiler. A fine place for rapid
work.

The oven was above. and I always
left. the door open to heat the room.
it wasn’t necessary to watch the
toast all of the time. and my eyes
got into a way of looking up at the
oven door. Fancy began to play with
the strange forms pictured there. for
the fat from many routs had played
havoc with the aluminum paint with
which the inside of the door was
covered.

One m rnlng. I traced out an an-
gel. who hereafter appeared in pro-
minence. Then a baby appeared: fa.
woman holding the baby and ap-
pealing to the angel. Imagination
continued to visualize until a story
had beennvoven. And it was an ex—
cellent story too. about An Angel
on the Oven Door, and it sold on
its third trip out. ,

So "the ideal" of the story was
“brought. in The W'orld or Real-
ity" by Visualizing.

It was the "object" drawing los-
son, when the boys are supposed to
bring‘some article—a hammer. a

to school to serve us model. '
One boy presented himself at the
master's desk with tho tearful an-
nouncsmsnt. "Plane. sir. I've awai-
lowed my object."

"Swailowed it!" cried the master.
in alarm. “Whatever was it?" '
"Please. sir." with 'a gulp. "a be.-

nana." : .

Tewkesbury Abbey Pl

 

There was colt hratod last month
in England the 300th annivermiy of
the consecration of the famous ab-
bo'y‘ohurch of Tcwkcsliui'y. Not so
widely known as is “'rstmlnistcr in
London. nevertheless vakesbury
has played no small part in the na-
tional life of the. English speaking
race. It belonged to men who made
history and unmade l:lngs,. and over
the lush meadows within the shad.
ow of its walls. and along the. banks
of the rivers within sight of its
tmvcrs tramped the host of the
lord of war in iht'ir never ending
struggle for power.

Trwkrsbury already was old when
Chouver._the fmindrr of English
poetry. indlted his Canterbury Tales;
“’illium the Conqueror and the bat-
tle of Hastings were still within the
memory of living men when the
abbey church was consecrated. King
John had not yet bowed to the ba-
rons at Runnymede; Cromwell was
in the far off future, as was the fine
flower of Ellzabetiit's day. Almost
all that is the work of the Anglo-
Saxon peoples. the achievements of
their great ciillization, has come
since Robert Fitz llammon. nephew
of ‘v'illium the Conqueror. founded
the abbey which 11th above the rich
green lands of Gloucester.

So long as Alfred's day. says the
recorder of Tewkesbury writing
find in Tewkesbury the. scene of con-
flict. “'ithin the. sight of it the Sax-
on king won his great victory over
the Danes. And here ("anute and
Edmund Irenslile completed their
pact of peace and agreed to divide
the kingdom. The Normans followed
and in duo time the/earls of Glouces-
ter. the be Clan-cs. the Despcnscra
the Beauchnmps and the “'arwlclts
became in their turn lords of Tcw~
kesbury. Strangely enough. each of
these great. families owed their pos-
session of this rich domain to their
wives. A woman brought the honor
of Tcwkesbury to the first earl of
Gloucester. a woman took it away to
the De Clares; again a woman car-
ried it off to the Despensrrs. and so
to the Beauchamps and the War-
wicks. It was a woman who even‘
tually gave it to Richard Neville. the
klngmaker, and it was his daughter
who transferred it once more to the
duke of Clarence} (him of the main-
sey butt) on her iii-fated marriage.
Those were the days when it was
a dangerous thing to be too near-re-
lated to the crown. and her own
death. her husband's. and 1101' child's
were all contrived to insure the great-
er safety of the reigning king.

Its Beautiful Memorials.
Throughout these tramplng cen-
turies of war and change the great
abbey church of Tewkesbury raised
its magnificient otu-or, unsurpassed
in England. as a silent and unscathed
witness of conflict and massacre.
Each succeeding lord of these lands
vied with his predecessor in adding
to the splendor of the great Nor-
man fane; and almost every one of
them was'cventually brought here to
die. or. after having been slain.
now in battle and new by assassina-
tion, to be buried. The founder of
the abbey which ~ms pulled down at
the dissolution of the monasteries,
and of its superb abbey church
(which was sold to the parishioners
of Tewkesbury by Henry 'VIII for
their parochial use). was Robert Fitz
Ramon. the nephew of William the
Conqueror, and his bones still rest in
a~bequtlful chantry tomb in the choir
of the church. The work which his
death had left unfinished was com—
pleted by his daughter's husband.
the first of the earls of Gloucester.
and is much of its original complete-
ness it. stands for the world to see
coder—perhaps the finest Norman
minister in the country.

It owes not a little to the time of
its birth. Then was the heyday Of
the great Norman builders. The
famous Flambard was raising the
caves and aisles of Durham: he had
just finished Christ church in
Hampshire. Petersborough and Nor-
wich were being built at this time.
and' Gloucester and Pershore had
been completed. Manyvof morning

or survive only as fragments of their
former greatness. Tcwkesbury alone
has withstood the perils and chang-
es of implacable time. and in this re.
spect survives in a separate class
with the great cathedrals of Eng-
land.

in yet another respect it claims a
special need of admiration. W'ith
the single exception of Westminster
abbey it. is considered to contain the
most beautiful monumental tombs
and chantrios‘ in the country. Not.
r-Vf‘n \‘i'inchostcr is put before it.
For the lovers of art and the stu-
dents of history it spreads. indeed.
a sumptuous feast. What this must
have been before the ruthless days
of the dissolution and the common-
wealth it is not easy to say. “'e

cent memorials were broken up and
swept away. and that even in the
case of those which remain the

But still there stand all round the

figure of himself should be placed on

Westminster.

Two other monuments demand at
least a passing reference. The one
is the triumph of lace-like carving
in the canopies and pinnacles which.
in {our stories, rise above the grave
of Sir Hugh Despenser and make it
the most beautiful tomb in England;
and the other is the richly carved
cenotaph to \Vakeman. the last. of
the abbots of Tewkesbury and the
first of the bishops of Gloucester.
It is a superb piece of architecture.
its gride of craft is ironically chal-
lenged by the gravcn representation
of a decaying corpse on the altar
tomb below.

A Legacy from the Old “’orld.

Among the other glories of Tsw-
kesbury are the old painted win-
dows of the choir. a great collection
of fourteenth century glass and the
remarkable cluster of five chapels
(the sixth has been pulled down)
round the cast end-a feature shared
by \i’estminster abbey and by no
other church in England. There are
the noble procession of great pillars
down the nave, higher and stouter
even than those of the Gloucester
cathedral. the vast west window
more than sixty feet high. the single
Norman arch. nearly seventy feet in
height and occupying practically the
whole of the west front. and a num-
ber of architectural gems. curious or
lovely. all of which combine to
complete a. picture of age. dignity.
beauty and sculptured histor . which

Last Summer's Rainfall.

 

(From “'eather. Crops and Xarkets)

Precipitation is of greater import-
ance to agricultural interests during
the summer months than for any
other season of the year. The
amounts received during the sum-
mor of 1923 show considerable var-
iation when compared with the nor-
mal in different sections of the
country. but the departures from nor-
mal as a rule were less marked than
.in most years.

For the period from June 1 to
August 81 there was less rainfall
than normal in the upper Mississippi
Valley and also quite generally from
the lake region eastward. and in
most of the Atlantic coast area.

The deficiencies were rather mark-
ed in North Carolina. New Jersey.
eastern Tennsylvania. extreme Nuth-
ern New England and in the imme-
diate eastern lake region. There
were also large deficiencies in south—
ern Missouri. north-western Arkan-
sas. Oklahoma. eastern Texas and
west central Mississippi as well as
in central and southern Florida.
The amounts were slightly above
normal in the Appalachian Mountain
. northern great
plains and substantially above nor-
mal in the central Rocky Mountain

nearly normal in the Ohio Valley

The southeaster States experienced
wide variations in rainfall during this
period. but elsewhere throughout
the country the amounts were rather
uniformly distributed as a rule.
Southern Georgia and extreme
northwestern Florida. had unusually
heavy rainfall. the largest amount
reported for the three months from
\Veather Bureau stations of the first
class being 29.6 inches at Pensacola.
Fla.. with a close second of 28.2
inches at Thomasvillc. Ga. At the
former station the (all was more
than 50 per cent. above normal.
while that at the latter was nearly
100 per cent. above.

On the other hand Tampa. Fla"
shows a deficiency of 8.0 inches. the
total amount received being only
about 70 per cent. of the normal.
Pueblo, Cot, had nearly 100 per
cent. above normal. and Denver
about 180 per cent. above. Central
and southern California had only a
trace of rain during the three month
period. while north central Montana
had nearly 12 inches. or about
double the normal amount. Moisture
was deficient in eastern New Mexico
and western Texas. but in extreme.
northwestern Tom rainfall was
much above normal.

Some of the jokers who continue
to wonder what sort of a country
this will b. “if prohibition comes."
may be interested in knowlng'that
prohibition is here. says the ,Indian‘
spoils Newsn. They will dispute this
by pointing out the large volume of
intoxicating liquors sold by violators:
of the Federal and State laws, but
the man who respects the law will
counter with the assertion that real
liquor. as contemplated by the stat-
utes. is new practically eliminated.
Authoritlve sources of information
say that hardly 1 per cent, of booze
bei g sold in America has a right to
be issued as at for human consump-
tion. ‘

The law contemplated stopping the
manufacture and sale of such stand-
ard liquors as whiskel. gin. rum.
brandy. wines and beer. \K’henever
it canbe said that the making of
such intoxieants has been stopped or
the importation has been blocked up
to ’3 per cent. it will be seen that
the prohibition law reaches a much
higher percentage of enforcement
than many other‘aws.

It is true that almost any thirsty
man can buy something that will
