Swiss Cantons.
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.

CLEAN UP AND KEEP CLEAN
Much More Than Mere Comfort I* In
volved in Having Community
Free From Dirt.
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

JAMIE’S FATHER
By MARJORIE PHILIPPS.
UEEN ESTHER CHAPTER No. 101, O. E. 8..
meets second Tuesday evening of each month

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.”
