NCE there was a Parent who
was so heated under the
Neck-Band that he laid back
his Ears and lifted his Bristles and
vowed that he wouldn’t stand for
any more Bough Comedy. He had
been the Angora long enough. Papa
was fed up. Old Beliable was ready
to put on bls War Paint and Feath
ers and lift a few Scalps.
Of course you have guessed the
Plot. It deals with the Younger Gen
eration. Once It was known as the
Rising Generation, but that was be
fore It Rose to such an Eminence
of Cussedness that It hit all the
High-Spots and could not be expect
ed to establish any more Altitude
Records without completely blow
ing the Lid off.
All of us know that any old-fash
ioned Dad who hops Into the Arena
and engages In a Battle with a
handsome and well groomed Hound
about 10 years old or a night-bloom
ing Deb Is licked before the Gong
sounds. The Old Folks have not a
single Decision In the Western
Hemisphere during the last Five
Years. Every time a Verbal Cham
pion goes against a bewildered Has-
Been, the result is a Foregone Con
clusion.
Notwithstanding which, Mr. Grlv-
ets, still nursing the Delusion that
there was such a Thing left In the
world as Parental Authority, got
Wallle and Edna on the Carpet and
proceeded to lay down the Law.
O
Barking Words That Don’t Bite.
He tried to win his Argument by
making a lot of Noise. This 1 b Faded
Material. The more he vociferated
the more helpless he felt, in the
Presence of the titled Noses and
the scornful Eye-Brow. He started
out as CaeBar and finished up as a
mere Splutter.
He pulled a lot of new Regula
tions on the Offspring. For In
stance :
No More Late Hours.
No More Using the Car Without
Permission.
No more Charge Accounts.
Severance of Diplomatic Rela
tions with all of the Calclmlned
Cuties and desperate Hlp-Toters
who frequent Hooflng-Emporlums.
No more Attacks on the Ice Box
at 4 A. M.
No more Inviting up to the House
those Jovial Acquaintances who
look as If they were wanted by the
Police.
No more Breakfasts served at 1
P. M.
No more sotting fire to the Bed
Clothes with Cigarettes.
In brief, the Program which Mr.
Grlvets outlined with scathing Dic
tion contemplated a Return to San
ity, Sobriety and Simple Living,
with an Incidental Endorsement of
the Coolidge Doctrine of Economy.
After he had Just about talked
himself lioarse without getting any
Results except a few pained Looks.
Edna took a long Pull at her Cork
Tip, and said: “Well, Pop, you are
barking very well this Morning, but
you haven't spilled anything except
a Lot of Words. You must have
been brought up back of a Barn or
Some Place like that. I never saw
such a Doodle Heck. The Jaws
keep moving and It sounds like
somebody saying Something, but
the Whole Thing Is Just Gooseberry
Mnrmnlnde. As an Orator you are
a total Bust. Just a Wlbble, that’s
all. I advise you to wash up and
get off the Lot.”
Hot Zizzer Obtains New Coat.
"And If this Pickle Juice you are
serving Is meant for your perfectly
wonderful Son. you can deliver my
Share of It to some Poor Family,”
spoke up Walter. "What a Flbgrot-
tle you turned out to be! Stand
Ing there, right on top of a Rug,
and trying to tell me how to loosen
a Parachute and mnke a Jump.
Boy, I’ve got Miníala and Speed
Records that you never read about.
You're Just a Man that lives up at
our House. You're wliat we have
to explain to otir Friends. You are
Just the Scale on our Family Tree.
We have a right to be annoyed by
yon, but we’re not because you are
the unfortunnte Victim of Flannel
Pajamas and too much Cereal Food.
You have the Boobitls, which means
that there Is no Circulation above
the Adam's Apple.”
“For the first time In the History
of the World, the Grlvets Family Is
making the First Page," suggested
Edna. "Wallle nnd I are putting It
over, In spite of yon and the other
Handicaps. We are crashing Into
Swell Dumps whore Yon and Ma
couldn't break In with a Jimmy. We
are a couple of hot little Zlzxers and
you ought to be rooting for us In
stead of trying to check In before
Midnight. Why. the Bambinos we
travel with don’t get their Eyes
wide open nntll about 11 P. M."
“What’s more," chimed in Wallle.
“this loud yelp about using that
broken-down Taxi is Just a Giggle,
If you wasn’t such an Oof, you
wouldn't ex|>ect two Headliners to
travel around In an old 1931 Model.
Why don't you come out of your

“The Raccoon Coat Is about six
weeks out of Date." replied Hoc,
with a weary shake of the Head,
suggesting that Dad was an Incur
able Yap. “I have just ordered
one made of Manchurian Spotted
Fox. It will make all the other
Laddies burst Into Tears and 1 aui
getting It for Four Hundred Bucks."
“Europe will have all of the
War Debts paid before you earn
that much Money," said Mr. Grlv
ets. “You talk about Four Hundred
Dollars as if It were Something to
be picked off a Bush. If you don’t
mind, I should like to have you two
Birds of Paradise remember that I
do not get my Money at a Pump.
I am just an old Frazzle, brought

of the MId-VIctorlan Era, but If I
I didn’t get out and rustle a new

would starve to Death before
Spring. Having attended all of the
Movies, read all of the Books, and
seen all of the Plays, you are now
making a Frantic Attempt to make
all of the other Sheiks and Shebas
look like Second-Raters from Poke-
vllle. The only reason I am so In
terested In your Criminal Ambitions
is that I am supposed to finance all
your delightful little Expeditions
into the Underworld. Sometimes I
wonder what the Finish will be.
Probably your Mother and I won’t
live to see It."
Fooling the Slickers.
“Oh, many Pishes and a couple
of Tushes I” exclaimed Edna. "Any
poor Gillie who expects his Daugh
ter to braid her Hair down the
Back and play the Cottage Organ
in these hoopla Days, doesn’t de
serve to have one. What would
you Rheumatic Relics do these
Days If you didn’t have the Young
People to talk about? And did you
ever stop to think that if we stayed
home Evenings and played Authors,
Croklnole, Jack Straws, and Tld-
dledy-Wlnks, all the Saxophone
Players would be out of Work, and
there would be a lot of Suffering?
“We are the busy little Life-
Savers of this transitional Period.
If it wasn’t for us, the Earth would
have a Crust on It. A lot of you
dodderlug Dummies who are stick
ing around after your licenses have
expired ought to be tickled to Death
to pay the Expenses. We are giv
ing you real Entertainment, but
the Trouble Is you are not keyed up
to it. It Is too bad that we find In
our Cities so many small-town
Rubes who get in by mistake. We'd
love to take you and Ma with us
If you could keep up and main
tain the Pace and exhibit some
Class, but It's no use trying to show
you any Touches of High Life, be
cause neither one of you Is galted
to be a Stepper.”
"The Situation Is clearing up
somewhat,” said Mr. Grlvets. "I can
begin to see that your Mother and
I are wholly to blame. Either that,
or we should have sent both of you
to the Reform School about Ten
Years ago.”
“You old Wlckles and Dlladads
make me plumb tired,” said Wallle.
“Whenever several of our typical
Parents get together these Days,
they sit In a Back Room licking up
Scotch guaranteed to be a Week or
Ten Days' old, and worrying for
fear that the Young People are not
getting a good quality of Gin. Those
who haven't Fallen Arches still try
to Dance, and most of those not
running for Office seem to be mak
ing a Joke of some Good Law. And
yet they are always roasting us
Kids. You are a lot of Jabber-
nowls."
"What's a .Tabbernowl?"
“I don't know. I’m simply trying
to protect the Author. He writes
his Stuff at least a Month before It
Is printed, and of course, any Ju
venile Slang that he put In would
be out of date, cold and discredited
before the time of Publication. So
the only Safe Plan la to coin a few
Words which mean Nothing and
put them In and then the Slickers
may think that he has dug up some
New Ones which they have not
heard.”
This unexpected Reply put Fa
ther on the Ropes. By the time he
recovered, the two Moderns had
picked his Pockets, cranked tip the
Bus, and started for a Nice Place
known as The Purple Bulldog.

King's Verger to Retire;
Has Served Sixty Years
John Crisp, the verger at Sand
rtngham church, is retiring on a
pension granted by the king after
00 years of service with royalty.
He has shown probably nearly
half a million people from all parts
over the beautiful church, with its
solid silver altar table and pulpit,
precious stones, and memorial win
dows and plaques of past members
of the royal family.
Before becoming verger, Mr. Crisp
was an attendant at the skittle al
leys at Sandringham house, where
kings and emperors used to play.
He remarked In connection with
that work : "I have picked up the
pins (skittles) for nearly all the
monarchs of fifty to sixty years."
He Is seventy-three years of age.
and probably the oldest employee
of the king, who Is now pensioning
off his workers at sixty-five.
Mr. Crisp Is rather sad at retir
ing, and feels the wrench after so
many years’ service. He will also
receive the national pension.—Mon
treal Herald.

NELSON PRESCRIBES
FOR POTATO DISEASE
The flea beetle attacks -on po
tatoes and other crops in Colum
bia county have been very severe
during the last few years and
they are making a severe at
tack again this year. A number
of remedies have been recom
mended for controlling the flea
beetle but one of the most suc
cessful remedies that have been
recommended apparently is the
calcium arsenate.
This is mixed as fallows:
Calcium Arsenate ........ one part
Hydrated Lime ............ four parts
This mixture is applied as a
dust on the potato vines.
Calcium Arsenate can also be
put on as a spray using 1 %
pounds to 50 gallons of water.
Further applications of the spray
should be made every ten days
or two weeks in order to get the
bast control as the beetles seem
to increase rapidly or move in
from other vegetation.
Another dust that has proven
to be quite effective is barium
fluosilicate one part to part diat
omaceous silica.—Geo. A. Nelson,
county agent.
