Switzerland is a confederation of 22 cantons, three of which. Basel. Ap penzell and Unterwalden, are politi cally divided into half cantons each. Four are called forest cantons, namely, Schwyz, Uri, Unterwaiden and !.u- cerne. They were grouped about Lake Lucerne. As Schwyz was the most prominent In the war for freedom, and members of the confederacy for inde pendence were known In the outside world as “Switzers,” this canton ulti mately gave its name to the entire league. Each canton has its own con stitution and local government and Is divided fnr administrative purposes into districts. The districts are In turn divided into communes. In near ly all of the cantons the principle of the Initiative and referendum is suc- cessfully applied. The Swiss cantons are republics in miniature, having ex tensive power In local affairs. front poultry house; the feeding and care of the brood sow; a splendid Handy Farm Mechanics page, and a bully good fiction story called “The Prodigal Son Gets Part of the Calf.” All that in only one issue.

The greatest effort In the history of cleanliness Is on ! For cleanliness has a history. Its influence can be traced down the ages. Those races that were clean were those races that were the masters. The Athenians, with their baths and beautiful homes, conquered the Per shins, with their unkempt beards and dirty skins. The Romans, with their aqueducts, their barbers, their gar- dens, beat back the barbarians with their goat skins and greasy fingers. Louis XVI was the most dainty mon arch France ever had and one of the mightiest. Filth kept the Panama canal from being built years before it finally was. Bolshevism flourished when the dirty and ignorant gained control in Russia. ileal people, the wise, the leaders In progress, always have fought for cleanliness. At times It has been a sporadic fight, a skirmish. A clean man was handicapped by a neighbor who let his premises run wild. But co-operation has been brought to play nt last. This year. In the United States alone, 7,000 villages, towns and cities are campaigning for cleanliness and health. They are not doing so for a day or a week, but in a continuous campaign. In a steady pressure. Tin cans, flies, refuse, dirt, waste paper, unsightly buildings, unpainted surfaces are taboo. The drive Is on. It has been estimated that 30,000,- 000 men, women and children In the United States are annually interested In and working on clean up and paint up activities. It Is an army of magnifi cent purpose and of immense possibili ties. It is bound to win. Join the forward movement. Clean up, paint up and keep it up. Make the old enemies, dirt and disease and un sightliness, abdicate and stay out. WHY HOME OWNING IS URGED Ten Powerful Arguments Put Forward by Those Convinced of Wisdom of the Plan. Home owning will result In benefit to people who become home owners nnd to the city as a whole, for these, among other, reasons: 1. In the long run the home owner Is more prosperous than the renter, and the’prosperity of any city depends upon the prosperity of Its individual citizens. 2. The home owner is permanent ; the shifter does little good to his city or himself. 3. The home owner Is progressive; the renter Is not interested in progres sive movements. 4. Habits of thrift learned in home buying add to the wealth of the Indi vidual and the city. 5. The home owner beautifies the, city ; the renter does not ; the more beautiful onr city is the more people will be attracted to It. fl. Other things being equal, the home owner Is a better worker than the renter, and keeps his position af ter the renter is discharged. 7. The owner of a home has an ever- present protection against poverty, and will not become a charge upon the community. 8. No city of renters can ever sue- ceed. No nation of tenants ever be came great. 9. A city that is worth living in is worth owning a home In. 10. Other things being equal, the home owner Is a better citizen, a bet ter soldier, a better American than the renter. Old-Fashioned Flower Garden. “A thing of beauty is a joy forever," which can be found In a bed of old- fashioned flowers at a minimum cost. After the soil is prepared, sow the seeds or set out the plants, putting the tall ones like sweet pens, hollyhocks, golden glow and sunflowers In the back. Plant shorter ones in front, such as the marigolds, Japanese pop- pies, sweet Williams and field daisies: In front of these still shorter ones, such a* petunias, nasturtiums and as- tern, with pansies, pinks nnd verbenas In front. A border of candy tuft or sweet alyssum is very decorative. With such nn arrangement, flowers for the pnrior and living room table can be obtained until front comes. Many a bouquet of beautiful flowers at practically no expense also can find its way Into the room of some sick per- son or to a hospital ward.—Thrift Magatine. Build Bird Homes. JAMIE’S FATHER By MARJORIE PHILIPPS. UEEN ESTHER CHAPTER No. 101, O. E. 8.. meets second Tuesday evening of each month Kathryn L. Garner. See. LERMISTON LODGE NO. 138, A F. a A. M. “ 1 meets in Masonic Hall on First Tuesday In the very midst of his joy. James Burnie was filled with distrust ami contempt for himself. After all. what right had he tu claim this favored woman’s love, so willingly given? Be- tween her ways and the ways of his people, a great gulf was fixed, and In the eagerness of his love for Madeline he bad been too cowardly to refer to the humbleness of his old home, where his father still lived. James Burnie had climbed rapidly the ladder of success and would gladly have shared its benefits with the rug ged old Scotchman who stubbornly re- fused them all. “I’ll live as I like to live. Jamie," he had said. “New ways and new friends would bring no new pleasures." So James continued in his splendid bachelor apartment In the city, while old Burnie Senior went happily about his household duties Just a little far ther away, keeping the floors as elean and the dishes as shining as when his faithful wife had been there to ful- till these duties. But the weekly vis its of the younger James, were to him self a continual source of humiliation. When he had first met Madeline, he had adored her from afar, never dreaming flint this crowning conquest might be his. Madeline, the accomplished, reared in luxury, as mother and grandmother had been before her. Her love had gone out to Join him as naturally as a flower seeks the sun, and their be- trothal was Inevitable. Now, only, as they planned their future together, did be compare mentally this father of hers, this polished accustomed man of a successful world. with the con- tented Scotchman bending In comfort ably shabby clothes over his flower- beds, or whistling cheerily as he placed the blue cups back In their cupboard. What would Madeline say—what would she think—when he must bring this stooped old figure Into her pres- once and present him as his father; hers, to he. Jamie Burlile was not a snob. In his soul he loathed himself for the trepidation fills fancied picture occa- sioned. So, time went on, and In Ida anxiety ho neglected to urge the set ting of the wedding day. The entertainments with which Mad- «•line's irreproachable friends favored the engaged couple were brilliant and many. But beneath the strain of gay- ety, perhaps, the girl's health began to fall ; the color left her cheeks, and her eyes seemed to take on an appeal- Ing light. James Bnrnle and Mad- eline’s father were alike concerned, It was after the doctor had forbid- den I he acceptance of Invitations, and suggested long rides in the open air instead, that the pretty color came back again, and Madeline's spirits grew brighter accordingly. James Burnie often wondered nt the curious looks she gave him. He won- tiered too, at a sort of gentle softness In her manner. Never had she been so endearing; more and more like a cloud before the sun of his happiness was the consciousness of this growing shame of his—of the inevitable fact of his crude old father, And then one evening when James Burnie called. Madeline came, seriously to sit upon the garden bench at his aide. “I have had such a gloriously rest- ful afternoon." she said, “one of many recently spent In the same way. It has been like leaving the stage of • theater for a play. James, and going back Into real life- simple life, and sweet." Madeline threw out her arms with a free gesture. “A place, where no critical audience forever awaits one's acting. So, I cast aside my acting. James, and I was just a tired girl, comforted and cheered by the kindest human heart that ever beat. It lias been an experience. James, to meet such a nobly simple soul,” she said. “During one of my first afternoon drives I became faint and left tny car In the road, while I asked at a little cottage for some milk to drink. An old Scotchman who keeps house there alone brought It to me. But first I must obey his commands and take the milk seated In a greet comfy chair on the porch. Afterwards, I must see his neat house and his garden, and as we walked together his shrewd old eyes seemed to read my very life. I did not need to tell him that tny doc- tor had ordered rest and country air, or that I was sick unto death of com- mit tee. and various public affairs. The old Scotchman knew It all —he had read It In my face. And he planned, with a planning which I did not real- ize at the time, that I must stop to- morrow to pick the big roses In his garden, and the next day. to look at his purple plum-laden tree. So every day I came to rest In the bolstered old chair on the porch with the glass of cream waiting and growing larger each time, while the old man talked to me of life, of books, of people, until I felt that I had failed before In much know!- edge that was true and needful. He spoke of his boy. and his tone was as tender es It was prond.” Birds add much to the home sur- Madeline stood »P ber eres were roundings and are easily made neigb- hors If nesting places are available. | shining. “My Hear old man, tells me that hie Bird houses will attract wrens, blue- | name la James Bornie.
