THE SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE
Something That Is Requisite to Make
Vacation Thoroughly
Enjoyable.

1t was a lovely June evening,
and half a dozen of the neighbors
had dropped in" upon the Har-
lows wide piazza, where the talk,
lrifting idly from one subject to
another, finally touched upon sum
ner plans. Everyone was going
Iway for longer or shorter time,
and every one groaned over the
prospect, says Youths COmpan-
ION. The rooms were so small,
they said, and the table not nearly
so good as your own, and some
times YOU met with unpleasant
people and in a rainy spell you
were bored to death, and there was
Iall the packing and unpacking and
shutting and opening the house
again, and--,s--.qn, 'ss''e>--s..
There was one Of the group who
had been listener mp TO this
point; now she spoke. THE
trouble is,' she declared, "that not
one woman in fifty knows how to
take vacation"
Half a dozen incredulOus faces
turned in her direction, but having
taken her ground she was not to be
driven from it.
"Think of the women you've met
lat summer resorts" she urged.
81 don't mean girls, of course
they are another story'-but the
average woman. How much real
recreation is she getting sitting on
the piazza day after day, doing
fancy work? Or telling her neigh
bors Of all her perplexities and
troubles? Or taking few aimless
walks and wondering if supper
will be- as poor as the dinner was?
Vacation means leisure, doesn't
it? \ freedom from old thoughts
and duties for a few days or weeks
that one may get fresh thought
and strength and JOY for work
again. How many of us do it"
"Nhat,' one of the audience in
quired, respectfully, would yOn
suggest as 4 requisite for u real
vaCa tiou?"
"Thc spirit of adventure" was
the prompt reply, (which, being in.
terprctcd, means the open heart,
quick to receive the gifts of the
days. \ hobby is a good thing, too
( il you don't have it too hard
enough of hobby TO amuse your

Secretary Moody has made decision in

is that all employees present on Saturdays
during the months of July, August and Sep
TENDER whose services can be spared shall
be excused for the last half of the day. and
thai those whose services cannot be spared
and who are consequently required to work
the full eight hours on those Saturdays
shall be allowed a half-day's holiday on
some other Saturday during the year when
their services can be spared without detf1-
ment to the public service.
President Roosevelt and Secretary Moody
had a conference today regarding the mat

lege 1t was suggested that the Saturday
half-holdays be added to the annual leave
of the men, but under the law this cannot
be done. The arrangement made is under

DAMAGE FROM FLOODS.
Rivers Are Still Rising in the South
west.

The Department of Agriculture is in re-
ceipt of a telegram from Representative
Charles c. Reid of Arkansas, in which he
asks the advice of the department on crop
planting to replace the cotton crops de-
stroyed by the recent floods. He asks il
the department can suggest any variety of
cotton seed which natures early in the fall
and where such seed may be obtained. and
then says that in the flood section the loss
is the worst the people have ever suffered.
In the absence of Secretary Wilson, Act
ing Secretary Brigham replied to the tele-
gram, after consultation with experts in
the department. to the effect that the local
seed, If planted before June 10, might ma
ture, but the chances were against crop.
He added that there was a chance for the
afflicted people to get a good corn crop if
they planted at once. and also a crop of
cow peas, for which seed there is always n
market. Representative Reid advised
to consult the experiment station of the
department at Fayetteville, Ark, for fur
Their and more definite information.
Dispatches to the Post Office Department
indicate that the worst of the floods In
southern Kansas, Oklahoma and Indian
territory is not past. The rivers are still
rising and there is a probability that the
line of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
may be broken at Vineta. On some of the
roads in the Kansas City postal district the
service has improved. but there is still dan
ger of another rise in the rivers.
