PROBLEMS.
Home mighty problems now confront
us, there is a crisis every duy; our prob
lem canned, somo others hunt us, end
take the joy of life away. The times
ure grave; I hear my neighbors de
nouncing tilings; they runt and roar;
they lmve suspended nil their labors to
argue at the Bine Front store. I do not
join them in their ranting, their crisis
rugs I do not chew; sll day they see
mo gullivantin on useful errands, fro
and to, The times ore grave; we ninke
them graver by quitting work to paw
the ground, e'en though the spiels we
make may savor of wisdom widespread
and profound. I let the problems go to
thunder; we are with statesmen welli
supplied, who tear the ,iim-erow things
asunder,' to see what works they have ,
inside. And all the day I'm busy toiling,
I'm' banking np my humble shack, tO;
keep my cherished spiids from spoiling,
when come the wintry storm ana tbck.
There's too much talk and too inucli
twaddle; there's too much piffle, wind
and bunk; and while my neighbors rent Professor Coe invited me to dinner
and dnwdle, I'm salting down another wnu him. We are to go to Grocly. It
plunk. There's too much, (die, bootless jg t),0 firat jmo i,as asked me to go
drooling, too much of larynx ana or up, I anywhere.
JAZZ is a word so newly coined that it does not appear
in the latest dictionaries. . It is applied to rythmic
clamor produced by a medley of more or less discordant
musical instruments.' Apparently there is little attempt
at harmony and none at melody. The blatant jars and
discords are popularly supposed to add pep to the noise,
The jazz is a relapse to the barbaric music of prim
itive peoples. It can be heard in the wilds of Africa as
the natives beat their tom-toms and whang their crude
musical instruments. To it the South Sea islanders writhe
their sensuous contortions and the dancing girls of the
orient sinuously whirl. Even the American Red-Skin
galloped his tribal dances to a stately iazz.
The jazz has succeeded rag-time as the popular music,
and like it is a jungle gift from the American negro. Nat
urally, as it degraded music from civilized to savage stand
ards, it has lowered the dance to vulgarity, a source of
disgust to the spectator and frequently debasement to the
participant, lhe jazz dance is a discord in civilized so
ciety, though harmonizing well with the jungle.
The popularity of the jazz is symptomatic of the
times. It reflects the ppopular unrest a.nd discontent, the
breaking away from established standards and the return
to the primitive in the search for the new. After the
strain of five years of fighting, the world has a bad case
of "nerves" and the noise of jazz succeeds the noise of
battle, for music has lost its charms in the discord of war.
The jazz is not confined to music. We have it pop
ularized'as "futurism" in art, a crazy attempt to out do
the aboriginal in primitiveness. We have it popularized
in politics as Bolshevisms fantastic and frenzied effort to
turn society upside down and elevate brawn by decapitat
ing brains. We have it popularized in business in the al
most universal profiteering of the money-mad. We have
it in industry in the frequency of needless strikes. We
have also the jazz in the United States senate in the brain
storm over the league of nations and the unending clamor
of abuse hurled at the President. Let us hope as conditions
return to the normal, the jazz will go the way of the rag.

Sheriff Investigating

oue-half mile east of the asylum, and
the theft f a gold bracelet, a white

Monday. The Bockinnn home was en

the members of tho family were away.
As nil the doors were unlocked it is
believed entrance was gained by the
thieves through the doors. No rlues
tending to throw light on the burglary
have been discovered, Sheriff ieed

The professor came- How I liked the
flush of his white teeth when he smiled.
How I liked the "protected"' feeling I
had when we started out together.
It could not be true that he is mean.
Collego boys are so harsh in their judg

sure.
After we had gone away, it began to
drizzle. The professor and I pot Into a
car. We had no umbrella. The rain
drijtped in, now. But I was happy. I
liked the masterful way in which he did
little things. The car stopped. It was
the end of the line.
"It's not fc long walk to the res
taurant," he said, "would you mind
walking?" ,
It was raining harder now. A tax!
was standing in our way. The professot
curtly said, "Xo" to the driver. So we
walked up the street. The drops were
fulling off my hat in ft little shower.
My skirt clung about my knees. But
the professor only hurried his steps.
When we reached the "Giiely Inn" I
was drenched.
I went at once to tho ladies' room.
But I could not dry my soaked clothes.
Nor could tho maid do more than w'ipc
up the little pools of water thanan off

The party was spoiled. Why, I would

gave me lots of trouble, too, and I

To Drive Out Catarrh
The Trouble I la tha Blood.
summer catarrh, with its nause
ous discharge, stuffed up glands,
- difficult breathing, and summer
colds, is bad enough, but the worst
of it is yet to come if you neglect
to check the growth that is form
ing to attack you with ten-fold
greater power during the winter.
That's why it is so important to
treat catarrhs and other blood dis
orders with S. S. S: during warm
weather, and thus free the system
from all impurities.
It is now an established fact
that catarrh is in the blood and
that lotions and salves do not give
relief. The experience of others
has proven that S. S. S. strikes at
the very root of the trouble and
eliminates it. Waste no time in
this matter, for it is of the utmost
importance. Write to Our Medical
