Why

Do you ever wonder why your
child is behind others Of the
same age in his school work
Have you wondered why your
boy does not like to go TO school?
Why he becomes tired and de-
sires to quit? If so, come with
me and | will show you exactly
where the trouble lies.
Last years record will show
that your child lost from one 20
five days out Of every month.
The older records will show that
he has been in the habit of do
ing so from year to year.
This is exactly why our boys
are on the streets while our girls
are in school. You need your
boys too much at home.
Every days work in school is
based upon the work Of the day
before. Then how can a child
DO todays work unless he was
present on the previous day.
Impossible. Every day lost has
spoiled another day and laid the
foundation for dissatisfaction.
There are children In this. as
In most schools, working Do the
ninth grade that could not do

When an effort was made to reach
Mr.. Smith over the telephone, his sec

livered. He was requested to ask Mr..
Smith if he would introduce Mr..
Bryan at the auditorium The reply
was
Mr. Smith says he is not on the
program next Tuesday night, and that
Mr.. Wilkinson knew why he could not
introduce Mr.. Bryan,
Mr. Wilkinson was seen again and
asked what reason Mr.. Smith had as
signed for not introducing Mr.. Bryan,
and he replied:
Well, he said De might be out Of

was likely to call him away, and he
did not wish to accept the invitation

Was that the only reason Mr..

GRAND JURORS CALL
FOR SPEAKER CANNON
Want Him to Testify in Vermilon
County, ILL.,, Bribery Scandal

Want Him to Testify in Vermilion
County, Ill.,, Bribery Scandal
Danyille, H., Febl 11.-That Speak
er Joseph G. Cannon be asked to
come from Washington to Danyille
and testify under oath before the Yer
million county grand jury, now inves-
tigating the alleged election bribery
cases, was the demand voiced by sew
EN- out of 23 grand jurors when that
tOdy convened today.
Inquiries were made as to whether
it would be possible for Uncle Joe"
to reach Danville Monday of next
week, provided the request for his at
tendance was wired to him tonight or
tomorrow morning There were nu-
merous Cannon adherents on the
grand jury, and it is now feared the
plan will be blocked. 1t was explain
ed that the inquisitors had no power
to force the attendance of the
speaker.
The desire to hear Cannon's testi-
mony was the direct result of the
statements of Clarence Smith, a
street railway employe and Cannon's
ward boss, on the witness stand.
Whether or not Mr. Cannon would
lie asked to come to Danville and
testify was not finally decided by the
