Champ CIark's Mules.

They handed Uncle joe bunch ant
not so very long ago,
About bill providing as he meand
cred to and fro,
Our Uncle Sam" should furnish him
"benzine cart" of late design,
But insurgency" by one fell swoop
arose and said get thee behind.
The next great question to arise is
who will tend to Champ Clark's
steeds,
Who'll furnish hay and oats and corn
and other high falooting feeds
For those two mules that he will drive
thro' Pennsylvania Avenue,
When he comes down to mount the
throne and take the place OF
Uncle joe"

Passing Fanc;es
(By Redyns)
Inspiration.

INSPIRATION.
When you're needing inspiration and
you're shy on topic stuff
With the printers yelling copy, editor
a raving huff,
When Pegasus quits you coldly and
mind is but blank,
Don't despair, go get little inspira-
tion.
OF course you'll have to wander for a
block or maybe more,
But the gllded sign will greet you
open wide the swinging door,
With one foot upon the railing and q
glass poised in your hand,
You'll imbibe some sort of scrambled
inspiration.

There was another contest in pen
manship among the rooms Of the
entire city schools last Friday week.
Decision yet to be made.
The committee of ten have brought
to the city today the Y. NJ. G. A.
student secretary OF Oklahoma uni
versity. He will speak at the Car
negie hall at three p. IN. today and
then at night he will fill the pulpit
at the Christian church. Men and
boys invited at Carnegie service
and everybody at night.
The oHatorica contest is justly
rated as the highest function of the
city schools. Those signally honored
this year by being chosen are George
Anderson, Dee Lynn, Paul Frame,
Lorena Cruce, Ernest Hendon. They
stood as high in student work and
integrity as in oratory.
Abby Hardy still continues to be
as helpful in the laboratory and
workshop as ever. Nothing that
comes up from arranging for a
window box or adjusting an elec.

school appreciates such boys as
much as its orators or its mathe-
maticians.
Wednesday will be a holiday. Very
few if any of the teachers will at.
tend the Teachers Association at
Muskogee. and the schools will go
on.
Miss Kate Gall led the Lincoln
School Mothers Club Friday at Car
negie Hall. Patriotism WAS the theme
and out of the actual class work
every feature was developed. 1t was
a remarkable program. The strangest
thing about these clubs is the alb
sence of the parents, while their
children are up front doing their
best, struggling like a hero to make
good. When we think of how little
the homes sacrifice mentally and
| spiritually for children, it is no
wonder that misery and weakness
are so rampant.
Marie West, Bert Simpson, Joe NJ.
London, Lon Frame, ID. ID. Pfieffer
Edwin Sanders and a host of others
are making the best leaders ever
known in the grammar grades of the
Third ward schools. over in the
other wards there is reading work
OF fine order and there is going
to be match up pretty soon.
Miss Toy Mayhem, Miss Regina
Blank, Miss Marie Roberts and Miss
Margaret Noble are smiling. Theil
rooms won in the physical trainine
contest last week.
The struggle for physical training
SO well developed by Miss Grace
| Williams, the director, awakened
great enthusiasm in the high school
In every room as fine movements as
developed in this country met the
eyes of the judges. When it came tc
offering the pennant however Miss
Martha Moffett's division of the
sophomores went to the front. The,
deserved everything and more.
School gardens are coming. Every
child a garden, is the slogan. Free

going to be made every child, and

the Ladies of the Leaf in their free

The teachers of the city schools
attended in body the county asso
citation Saturday. 1t was the first
meeting with Superintendent Fred
Tucker and the schools felt more
than interested in assisting him in
every way possible to start his worl,

Union be thirteen stars, white in

having been increased by the adj
mission Of new states the possibili-
ties Of the nations future develop
ment dawned upon our fathers the
original thirteen stripes were un-
changeably restored by act of con-
gress on April 4, 1918 when it was
enacted. "That from and after the
fourth day of July next the flag Of
the United States be thirteen hort
zontal stripes, alternate red and

on the admission of new State
into the Union one star be added,
addition to take effect on the fourth
day of July next succeeding such
admission.
Since the struggle of 1S61-f865
the flag has become the symbol Of
mighty nation. 1t has been car
'ried to the utmost parts of s the
earth, carrying liberty wherever it
has been thrown to the breeze. The
stars and stripes within the recent
past have come to possess new
beauty for friendly eyes and new
terror for foes of liberty.

President of the United States, to
the governors of all of the states
and to the mayors of each Ameri-
can city to herald the coming and
celebration of Flag Day, June IA, by
proclamation: we call upon every
public officer, every teacher of the

REVIEWS PUBLIC CUP FIGHT.
tuberculosis Society Hopes to Make
it Unlawful in Minnesota.

The following warning is pre-
pared by the Minnesota Association
for the prevention and relief of
tuberculosis.
'Today the public drinking cup in
st. Paul is banished, never to
return. 1t will probably soon be out
lawed throughout the state for the
recently adjourned legislature gave
express authority to the State Board
of Health to do SO. So Minnesota
is to be in line with Wisconsin,
Michigan, Kansas, Mississippi, Okla
'homa, Iowa and other states which
have already issued the decree of
Punishment. GIN 40 states the State
Boards of Health have expressed
themselves as opposed to the use of
common cup and are only waiting
for legal authority to abolish it or
for the formation of enough public
sentiment against it to sustain a
prohibitory ruling. Schools, parks,
and public buildings by the humid
reds and later municipalities took
action before the latest weapon
the statewide law-was put into
use.
'The bubbling fountain is the
most popular substitute: for the
public drinking cup. Paper cups
are also largely used. 1853 were
used in one month in the Grand
Central Terminal in New York City.
No one need gothirsty. The lawmere-
ly prohibits public nuisance-the
drinking cup plastered with dead
cuticle and the contents of the
mouths of dirty people and some
times with dangerous disease germs.

met in San Francisco. The American
told him he would be coming to Eng

months later, assuring him he would
give him distinctively English lunch,
begging him at the same time to be
punctual. If you will give me an

American. Dixie gave O'clock. As
