RAN OVER A DOG

Earl Brown ran over a dog night be- fore last with his motor cycle. The dog suffered no injury but Mir. Brown did and as a result is now laid up in bed with an injured knee and badly wrenched neck. Just how seriol-s his injuries are has not yet been deter mined. A few weeks ago another Tenn pc motorcyclist had a similar exper- fence and was on crutches for a week. The dog that runs out at the passer-by is one of the most serious obstacles the man on a motor cycle has to contend with. and those in Tempe who use the machines are thinking seriously of taking such action as will result in the permanent quietude of certain dogs that have cultivated this bad habit

PRETTY ROBES FOR CHILD.

Comfortable and easily made bath
robes are always the most desirable,

long sleeves to the wrist mean genu-

bound in either braid or ribbon or
satin cut on the bias and laid on like
band stitched on both sides.
Yet for children there is nothing
daintier than the lovely new flannel
cites in pale blue and pink, with fig
ures, and bound as suggested above.
In addition to being comfortable, they
can be Numbered perfectly, fact
which adds to their value for chill.

COST OF COTTON.
What Shall the Reckoning of Cost
Include?

What Shall the Reckoning of Cost
Include?
Look back through the long, hard
| years since the war bugles ceased to
sound in 1865, and the tramp OF
marching forces were no longer heard
in the land; contemplate the fearful,
awful struggle the cotton producers of
the South have encountered and met
bravely, and say if the manhood, the
culture, the refinement, the hopes and
ambitions and ideals, the very lives Of
the Southern people, have not been
absorbed in the production of cotton!
Aye, and the womanhood and child
hood of the South, too, for the United
States census in it's last report chron-
| icles the cruel fact that $4,000 South
ern white woman and their children
have been forced to toll in the cotton
fields, and why? Because the cotton
producer has been robbed of his herit-
age, the product of his toll, because
of the UNJUST system under which he
must market his crop.
Go to the Eastern cotton mills, go
to the Southern cotton mills, go to the
European cotton mills. See the pol
ished spindles as they whirl, drawing
GU the fleecy staple into long strands
of thread into huge bundles of yarn,
and in their very whir you will hear
the signs of the Southern mothers as
they shopped, or plowed, or picked the
locks, and the means of the little girls
and boys as they dragged along the
heavy cotton sack Look upon the
looms See how accurately, how Won
derfully they weave the meshes of the
yarns into cloths. In every mesh of
yarn, in every yard of this cloth, is
woven the tears of Southern women
and their heartches and the injustice
and wrong that greed and graft have
heaped upon them. Shall not these
things be charged up in the cost bill?
Look at the young Southern farmer
girls and young men who, because
they had to give the years of their
childhood and youth to labor in the
fields to ward off starvation, have |
grown up in ignorance without the |
blessings of an education and without
the graces and benefits that education |
give, and answer if this should not be
included in the expense account?
Many and many and many father
and mother and their children have
been forced to remain at home on
from church or Sunday school |
because they had no clothes to wear,
being thus deprived Of the consola-
tons and the training of religion.
Will you say that this can not enter
INTO the cost of cotton productions

Test Of the Housekesper

dow cleaning, with newspaper rub
afterward A dry clean for window
may be made with liquid whiting
