Game Of Occupations.

Each chooses some kind of work TO
do. calling it out so all can hear. Then
the leader begins a story-for example
I went out today. but just as | came
through the kitchen | saw our cook
Here the PLAYER who has chosen to be a
cook steps forward and goes through
some cooking motions. saying, What
was she doing?" If the leader finds
out IN three guesses the cook goes
back TO her place. If not she becomes
leader and goes on with the story
That will. of course. be made to suit
the occupations and may proceed
something like this: Il went down the
steps and walked to the corner. where
there was carpenter busy at. ana
on a roof across the street a plumber
vas And so on The breaks are
filed as previous described. Most oc
equations are such that to perform
their duties requires many motions
The cook can be kneading bread or

A quarter and dime
Each had at the time
To spend on some sweet Christmas folly.
Polly and Patty said. Candy"
While Peter. bit OF a dandy,
Decided to buy
A dainty necktie
To make himself look spick end ANDY.
And then-on the corner stood Molly,

And sobbing aloud
In the hurrying crowd,
For she'd fallen and broken her dolly.
Such poor little midget they thought her
That right up between them they caught
her.
To toy shop they went
Every penny they spent,
And lovely new dolly they bought her
What Christmas thing! and so Jolly,
That Peter and Patty and Polly.

KENT FRUIT
LOOKS GOOD

DOVER Del. July 5.-In some re-
spects this season resembles closely
that OF last year. the early spring
being cold and wet and backward
following by unusually dry weather;
but the dry weather did not come quite
so early this year.
Last year the berry crop was about
100000 quarts as compared with
22000,000 quarts in 1910; while this
year there had been shipped up TO
last Saturday night about II 900. 600
quarts, with about another million to
come.
The apple crop which has become Of
importance In the last few years pro-
misses 10 be large and considering the
new trees that are coming into bear
ing for the first time this year there
will be more apples grown in Della
ware than ever before. Early apples
are already going to market and are
smooth and free from blemish.
The center OF the apples business is
In Kent county, and the crop has at
tracted the attention Of many people
outside the state and they are asking
why eastern men should send money
west to buy land al from $500 to
$1,000 per acre while better apple land
can be bought close TO the markets
at one fifth of the price.
Peaches are always uncertain until
they are sold. but az this time many
orchards have a fair crop and some
have a full crop. II Is estimated that
there is now a possibility Of at least
a third Of a full crop.
Other fruits are doing we'll The hay
crop is the largest ever harvested in
this county and has been saved in al
most perfect condition Wheat is
looking well. The straw Is rather tall.
il has headed out with long. heads full
! Of good wheat The harvest is now
on, but on one has thrashed vet. Corn
is growing rapidly and the stand Is
good. Potatoes are better than ever
before
Growers about Smyrna have lust
] finished harvesting their cherry crop.
The season was short. but the splen-
did grade OF fruit commanded q gooo
market price. Not in twenty years
have prices been so good They have
been selling wholesale for Is cents a
quart Last year s cents and 10 cents
was considered high. The eooseberrv

WIVES CRAZE TO SHOW
OFF BLAMED FOR MUCH
BADNESS IN HUSBANDS

The disgusting desire Of women for
paint and powder costly clothing and
spectacular show In the streets is man
ufacturing more bad husbands today
than any other evil agency Many
homes In Atlanta are being wrecked
and scores Of bad husbands created
through untidy homes and careless
snowy wives And yet these same
women throw up their hands in horror
weep bitter tears, utter complaint
against their husbands and wonder
man"
Alrs Mary Bohnefeld police matroH.
today gave expression TO this strong
defense Of husbands in discussing the
kind Of man who makes the best hus-
band" Mrs Bohnefed has had years
of experience with women whose hus-
bands have been classed as bad" and
summing # all up. she denounces the
WAYS Of women and lays the blame at
their door
"Of course it is not true in every
instance said Mrs. .Bohnefeld. but IN
the great majority Of cases the badness
Of the husband-the man who receives
the condemnation and ieers Of his
neighborhood--is directly traceable 70
his wife"
Looks Do Not Count, She Says.
In this connection the Atlanta ma
iron takes issue with Mrs. Annie
Hamm. matron Of the Los Angeles po-
lice department, a s TO the best kind Of
man for a husband
Mrs. Hamm advises girls to avoid
pug nosed men, and says big men are
preferable, for the reason that they are
easier to manage than small men. The
idea, says Mrs. Hamm, that small men
can be twisted around the finger OF a
woman is all a fallacy.
Mrs. Bohnefeld declares that it isn't
the physical appearances of the man at
all that counts in the making OF a good
husband-it's home environment
1T doesn't matter in the slightest
whether man is big or little; wheth-
er he is pigeon-toed or has pink whis-
kers. whether he has a pug nose, long
nose, crooked nose or no nose at all, -
said Mrs Bohncfeld THE fact of
whether he is a good husband will be
determined by his home surroundings
and the conduct of his wife If the wife
keeps herself and her children tidy,
keeps her home clean and attractive,
has good meals always prepared on
time and makes things pleasant gener-
ally. she will have good husband
even though he be as pug nosed as a

PLAN To IMPROVE
IVY STREET WINS

The project Of leveling the grade on
Ivy street is assured Of success today.
But the fight that brought the matter
to a head was bitter and tedious.
DR.. Frank Edmondson. who objects
to the Improvement because Of alleged
damage to property he owns on the
street, declared at the meeting Of the
streets committee Of the city council
yesterday afternoon that joe Hurt. The
chief promoter Of the plan posed as q
public spirited citizen, when all he
wanted was to put dollars into his own
pocket by the improvement Of Ivy street.
II would Ike TO ask DR.. Edmond son
what he has done for Atlanta an
swered Mr. Hurt
The chairmans rap for order stopped
any further such remarks.
Councilman Orville n Hall. Of the
Third ward, was present, fighting the
improvement on the grounds that too
much money was being spent on the
north side
ANY official who would vote against
an improvement like the one proposed
for Ivy street would be remembered by
the people and will never come back,
declared Mr.. Hurt.
Mr. Hall hotlv replied that II Nj
Hurts remarks were meant as per
sonal he would give MI Hurt a chance
to get the people not 10 send him back.
Mr. Hurt accepted the challenge, but
in few moments he and Mr.. Hail had
become friends
The streets committee again ap-
proved the plans for Ivy street. The
county commissioners win do all the
work but the building Of the retaining
walls. The property owners will fur
nish the city $4,000 without interest,
to be repaid when the city sees 1T, to
pay the ctys part. The cross streets
will be adjusted to the new grade, in
