Place the sweater:in a pillow case dr cheese-cloth bag and let it lie in the soapy water for five or ten minutes. Do not rub, but press and squeeze the soapy water out of it nntil it appears to be clean. Then rinse in water the same temperature as the suds, leaving a little soap in the rinsing water, as this leaves the wool in soft condition.

 In the third quarter Gore did fine work for Brinkley. He car ried the ball around the ends for good gains. The third quarter ended with the ball on F. C's. 25 yard line.
 The fourth quarter was an in- teresting one. The Forrest City fans were yelling for a touch down. but when time was called the ball was on Brinkley's B yard line. In this, quarter Ku- ford GForrest City's L.. H. B. did good work. He carried the ball for long gains. Penalties were frequent on both sides. Brinkley being penalized five times and Forrest City nearly as many. The features of the game were the kicking of Wood fin and the long gains by Gore for Brinkley and Buford for Forrest City.
 The game resulted in score of O-O, neither team being able to score.

When Life is Worth Living,

Life Is worth living for the sake of fellow-service. No man liveth unto himself alone. !" That we soon discover. We cannot attain culture without. the aid of others. We cannot have friends without being | the h'of friend, Even when life appears to offer very little for your personal errich- ment, still there there is a profound satisfaction, almost joy, to be found in some work that you can see is of benefit to others. To fight against evil conditions, to care for neglected children, to aid the needy, to visit the sick, to serve on some committee how many ways there are in which one enters into this splendid, stimulating life of sympathy! Life is worth living, not only for what we can get out of it, but also for what we can put into 1t. In sense the eo@Smlqanisy is 9 large family, where the welfare, the ambitions, the gains and losses, the joys and sorrows, con- cern each of us. Goethe is al ways spoken of as the apostle of modern culture, yet as a man of wide vision he saw all the mag niicence of social ties. Man" i, he said in a luminous sentence,
 is the most interesting of all objects to men, and psrsaps should }; g be their sole interest, { For everything else that sur {! rounds us is either an element in which we live or a tool we use. 7 -G. D. Latimer.

Sweet Red Roses.

Anita Owen who writes her own lyrics and melodies and who IS known all over the world as the composer of Daisy Songs, has for the moment left her ia yorite flower Blooming alone" and written a song entitled, SWEET RED ROSES".
 Since the Last Rose of Sum- mer" no Rose song has caught the public fancy as quickly as this one, and hundreds of songs about the Rose have preceded it. Simplicity in melody construc- tion and sweet simple lyrics are the principles upon which Miss Owen constructs her songs. Miss Owen who has made for tune writing flower songs has a conservatory containing a wealth of beautiful floral plants adjoin. ing the music room of her home, and the fragrance of sweet flow CTS permeate and fill the ail when she composes. "Swee' Red Roses'' was written early ir June and the song is a symphon, of love and roses. We append the refrain:
 CHORUS.
 Sweet Red Roses, sweeter thar
 all the posies,
 With rare fragrance breathing
 messase from you
 When Pm lonely,
 Longing for you dearest only, Sweet Red Roses whisper thar
 you are true.
