One Way of Economizing


To the average hard worked
mother the problem of household
economy is ever present. In addi-
ton to the daily work. the worry
making five dollars do where six
are needed is the usual accompani-
ment. To be able to so plan that
the children may be as well dress
ed as their neiehbors, and may
have the advantages they need. is
not easy, and the woman who is
accomplishing this is doing great
deal. Yet there is an economy
that exceeds even this. Many
women are so intent upon doing
their best with their time and
means Gas they believe) that they
in a measure, neglect to come in
touch, in the truest sense, with their
children.
A woman having an improvident
or selfish husband is to be pitied,
but If she allows herself to become
ilyifable 10 her children because Of
ar.us what can never be reeaiued
the love and confidence Of her little
ones. Sensitive children feel TOO
keeuly the sacrifice that their moth
ers make, aid a girl, especially, Of
ten feels herself enc too many when
a constant stream of fault finding
goes on in her presence. Better let
her lack some dainty article of
clothing than lack the generous eX-
preston of mother love to which
she has a right.
Mothers should take the time
each day to read or tell a story to
their children, and take the time
each day to say Il love-" and let
their conduct bear out their words.
The added love and growing conf
dence of the children will repay the
parents for the time spent in this
way. Remember that we owe to
our children a childhood. We de-
fraud them of it when we say by
our actions You are here and
must do the proper thing by you, so
you may be commented upon-but
l am so tired" They know too
well that we are tired, and they al
so know that Ethey did not come
into the world of their own free
will. Their sense of justice is ont,
ragged by our apparent attitude
toward them. If we keep near to
them in heart, we cannot but be re-
warded by their love as they reach
man and womanhood. We shall
have given them the right weapons
for fighting Iife's battle. This is
not easy, but some have done it
and all can do it if they sincerely
try. flour children are taken from
us before reaching maturity we
shall not be obliged to feel that,
could we have one more chance
we would try to make amends fol-
wasting the years which ought to
have been spent in laying up a
store of love of which death could
never rob us.-Margaret Merrill.

Instead of due defeat

And satisfied with name snd fame

Arrived too late!

And the Treasure that we hold
To lead us from the paths of sin.

Billy Sunday is probably the on
ly man who ever made money out
of a drunken spree. According to
Billy's own statement the particu-
lars of one of his biggest DRINKS
has been related by him in public
over seven hundred times. and
every time the house was filled
with people who paid for the privi-
lege of hearing him tell it King
City Democrat.

Joe Rivers Should Beat Cross-Doc
Semmens in Fight Column.


to fight resembling some of the old
battles of Terry McGovern when
Leach Cross and Mexican Joe Rivers
mingle for ten rounds tonight, with
a chance at the lightweight title of
Willie Richie as prize.
Rivers is in better condition than
Cross and has worked much harder
in his training. The Mexican realizes
that tonight's go will have great bear
ing on his pugilistic future, and is
taking no chances of fiuke licking!
His work for the last three weeks
has been of the most strenuous sort
and he has gone through numerous
stunts to develop his already healthy
punch.
Cross, apparently, is making the
fight on the reputation he gained by
knocking out Joe Mandot, and be-
ieves the prestige he gained then will
scare Rivers into defeat. Considering
that the Mexican walloped the New
Orleans baker in their last engage
ment Leach's argument is punk.
From this distance, it looks like a
Rivers victory, but not on knock
out.
Eddie McGoorty will worry along
without manager for a time, &C
cording to a statement he issued to-
day from the old homestead in Osh-
kosh, Wis. The crack middleweight
denies he ran out of a fight with
Jimmy Clabby in Denver.
Doc Semmens, who discovered the
jaw of Johnny Evers was good for
something besides roasting umpires,
left for Cincinnati today to take
charge of the health of the Reds.
Pal Brown, the Hibbing, Minn.,
lightweight, is a 10-to-7 favorite over
Ray Temple of Chicago for their go
in Milwaukee hext Monday night.
