Five Rules for Women Takers

In the November Woman's Home
Companion a contributor advises
women on talk. Five rules are lald
down:
l. Don't tell long stories, or
even short ones, unless you have an

2. Remember that talking about
Yourself is an indulgence, and as
such, should be strictly limited.

Teachers Urged to Attend

An attendance campaign is being
inaugurated by the executive officers
of the Arkansas Teachers assocla-
tion. Each county examiner and
superintendent and school principal
of the state has been appointed a
member of the attendance campaign
committee, and is being urgei to
exercise his efforts in securing a
full attendance of the teachers OF
his county, 1t is believed that by
a systematic effort of this character
1t will be possible to double the at
tendsnce at the annual convention
In December.
The Cook loving cup, now held
by Mississippi and first won by
Randolph county, will again be
warded to the county showing the
best attendance. In order to arrive
at an equitable calculation Of the
attendance and not place counties
at distance from Little Rock at a
disadvantage, the number Of teach
ers attending is multiplied by the
distance in miles from their county
seat.

should certainly like to see gener-

cheap imitation. We have always
understood that many good men,
through unfortunate circumstances
cannot pay their debts, but they
want to pay them. We have al
ways understood another thing too:
Some men who could pay their just
and honest debts haven't got the
sort of religion that makes them
want to pay them. Sharp County
