Blnce 1196 William Jennings Bryan hna
been the most criticised man In America.
Homebody In always hurling hand grenades
at him* He does nothing that sultn all
partlen. There Is a certain element, varia-
ble as to size, whtch forever and ever will
have It In for Mr. prysu because he saves
his money and doesn't get drunk and play
poker. Then there Is another element that
envies him his conupkuousnessi, a consplcu-
otisness his critics can not attuln for them-
selves. Down-at-the-heel "good fellows"
call him Grape Juice Willie In high deris-
ion; shivering gamblers with patched under-
wear and mlsmatcd shoes sneer at the Mor-
alising Mountebank; partisan stump speak-
ers and pert parageaphers who have never
been a hundred miles from home call his
statecraft Dippy Diplomacy, and half-baked
scribblers without any convictions (even as
you and I) name hi* continuous labors on
behalf of International peace Plffleous For*
elgn Policy. Yet William Jsnnlnga Bryan
survives, yea. flourishes. He Ignores th«
foolish diatribes aimed at him because h«
is so tall they fall harmlessly at his feet.
Mr. Bryan may not be a wholly admirable
man or a wholly wise statesman, tor he
doubtless has some very human faults. But
he is a clean-handed, personally forceful
and Intellectually able American citizen.
In or out of office, and to defame him has
proven not only useless to the defamers,
but in fact advantnfreous to himself.—State
Press In Dallas News.
One likes to think that a public
servant is at least a man, and when
he proves himself that we can excuse
some of his faults. Mr. Bryan may
not be its strong on diplomacy us
some others but we observe that he
Is at the head of the diplomatic ser-
vices. Shows his ability.

Berlin are comfortably fixed.. They have

wages, and have plenty to eat. although

the principal eatables, sometime* become
monotonous. But prisoners of war cannot
expect first-class hotel fare, and they are
privileged to write letters home and to re-

money for the purchase of delicacies not
comprehended in the prison fare. Accord-

from neutral -countries, there are worse

FARMERS' FORUM
Poles on Ftornin In Tcxiim.
Polish farmers have settled in all
parts of Texas, although the princi-
pal and better-known Colonies are lo-
cated in Falls, Fayette, Grimes,
Karnes Itobertson, Washington, and
Wilson counties. Karnes county in-
cludes Panna Marya, the oldest per-
manent Polish colony in the United
States. Here they are chiefly cotton
farmers. About one half own their
farms, while the other half rent the
land they till under the "cropper"
system.
They usually produce a much larger
yield of cotton per acre than the-aver-
age native Texan. This is possible,
because the Poles work in the fields
themselves, while the native Ameri-
cans generally employ negroes to do
their work; and, second, because the
Polish women and children work
with the men In the fields, thereby
more than doubling the labor force
without an Increased labor expense.
Homes of the Poles In Texas nre
neat and are often comfortably fur-
nished. They mingle with other
races very little and seldom inter-
marry. but maintain a rather high
moral standard, and local merchant*
testify to their honesty. They are
fairly temperate, and, as a rule, ad-
here to the Roman Catholic church.
In nearly every town where there are
sufficient number of Poles to support
a church will be found a resident
priest and a parochial school and a
well-organized congregation. Few
Polish children are found In the pub-
lic schools, although the majority of
them usually remain on the farm.
Wherever Poles have located on
farms In Texas It Is reported that they
have benefited the community by
thrift and Integrity and that they are
desirable settlers—Government Bul-
letin.

How to Select a Kefrigerator.
Only when one has had the annoy-
ing experience of making a poor re-
frigerator "do" cau they realize the
necessity of using utmost caution in
selecting a new one.
This is one article of dally use
where the old adage, "the best is the
cheapest" is surely well applied. If
not well constructed the wooden
cases will warp and this will throw
the lining out of place*and insulation
and circulation are interfered with.
As cold air is heavier than hot air
it naturally falls, so that in most re-
frigerators the ice chamber is placed
above the storage space. Now this
chamber should be seamless and be
made with rounded corners to permit
It being easily cleaned, for on the
cleanliness of the box rests the health
of the family.
The ice chamber should be large;
there Is no economy In buying ice In
smallest quantities; you lose In
weight of ice and cannot keep food at
proper temperature. Beside this it Is
an annoyance to have the ice chamber
refilled every day. It is much better
to have a box that will hold fifty,
seventy-five or a hundred pounds of
ice and then have it opened by the
Ice man but once or twice a week. The
saving will be great.
Another thing to give particular at-
tention to is the drip pipe. There must
be no connection between this and
the food compartments and It should
be made so that It can be removed
and cleaned when clogged.
Rightly selected and carefully man-
aged the household refrigerator is an
economical Investment, for one can
buy perishable foods in large quanti-
ties and not h'ave them spoil before
they are used. You also have the
means at hand to furnish many de-
lightful frozen desserts at small cost.
By watchfulness and care you can
protect the ice and make It last much
longer than is usual. This Is accom-
plished by not openeng the doors of
the box unless absolutely necessary, by
using a parchment paper ice blanket
to protect the Ice from contact with
the air and by having the refrigerator
Itself In a cool place. This last advice
may seem superfluous, hut neverthe-
less careless persons sometimes place
the refrigerator very near the kitchen
stove or have It on a sunny porch. If
the porch Is cool this Is not a bad
place for It, but changing weather will
soon ruin almost any box.
There Is a very low priced, roomy
refrlgerntor sold for use of summer
cottages and other persons who must
econpmlze with their Indoor room and
this one Is made of galvanlxed Iron
and coated with a weatherproof dress-
ing. I have not the address of the
manufacturers, but anyone can secure
the addresses of firms making these
seaside Ice chests from hardware
dealers.

and rectors are sawdust dummies,
every one. A book should mirror hu-
man action, and show the author's
studied men, if it would give me sat-
isfaction—but this man wields a trif-
ling pen." One day when health again
had found me, "I'll read that novel
now," I said, for It. of all the books
around me, was Just the one 1 hadn't
read. I found it then a four-time
winner, a ripping yarn that hit the
spot, and when they called me In to
dinner, I answered, "Scat! I want it
not! That man is capable of treason
who'd leave a book like this to eat—
the redhot novel of the season, a book
that simply can't be heat!"
