Binghampton, N. r.. June 2.-W. w. Yale, of Ouaquaga, champion standing broad patchwork quilt piecer of the state, yesterday defended his title by completing his twentieth quilt for the year For a time it was fear ed that he would crack under the strain, but he kept his head uncrack- ed and slammed in the last few frag- ments of the quilt in the most amaz- ing exhibition of toe to toe sewing imaginable.
 Encouraged by his tremendous ac- compIshment for the fiscal year, Mir. Yale, who fears no thinb1ed demon in America. has issued a challenge to every hemstitching, quilt making en- broidery lover in the nation for the coming year. He says openly that he will complete twenty-five quilts or know the reason why, and those who know MT. Yale declare that this is strong language for him.
 Already the champion has made ar engagements for the construction of a. quilt, the central decoration of which is to be the Ouaguaga. Town Hall.

The Sea is His: He made it, Black gulf and sunIit shoaI From barriered blight to where the
 long Leagues of Atlantic roll: Small strait and ceaseIess ocean He bade each one to be, The Sea, is His: He made it. And England keeps it free. By pain and stress and striving Beyond the nations ken, By vigils stern when others slept, By many lives of men; Through nights of storm, through
 dawnings
 Blacker than midnights be- This Sea that God created, England has kept it free. Count me the splendid captains Who sailed with courage high To chart the peri1ous ways unz
 known
 Tell me where these men lie! To light a path for ships to come They moored at Dead Mans Quay; The Sea is Gods: He made it = And these men kept it free. Oh, little land of England,
 Oh, mother of hearts too brave, Men say this trust shall pass from
 thee Who guardest Nelson's grave. Ay, but these braggarts yet shall
 learn
 Who'd hold the world in fee, The Sea is God's-and England, England shall keep it free. -R. B. Vernede, in the London Stan dard.

JUNE WEDDINGS.

The first people to adopt the mont1 of June as sacred to Hymen, the god a marriage, were the ancient Romans, who considered this the most pro pitious season of the year for enter ing upon matrimonial relations. n The Romans held that June weddings were likely to be happier than aI- dances contracted in any other month of the year, especially if the day oh osen were that of the full moon or the conjunction of the sun and moon. They also held that of all months May was to be most avoided, as in that month, newlyweds would come under the Influence of spirits adverse to happy households. These ancient marriage superstitions were retained by the Christians in the mid ale ages and even today June is con sidered by many to be preeminently the month of marriages. The word wedding is derived from the ancient Anglo-Saxop we'd custom fPPhe "+wed'' consisted of a gift, including a ring given by the bridegroom to the bride. At the marriage cere- monies in those times the father of the bride presented his son-in-la5T with one of his daughters shoes, as a token of the transfer of authority, and the bride was struck sharply on the head with the shoe by her new spouse as a reminder that he war henceforth her 'fboss."

MIR. YALE, QUILT MAKING
 CHAMPION, WINS AGAIN
Bingha1nton Marvel Now Challenges the World and Environs to Hemstitch Him to Finish
 For Fiscal Years Title

Those who are familiar with the Qua duaga Town Hall figure that the re- production in needlework may be life size, which would make the quilt am pie to cover 8 cot or for use as a, doyly.
 A great nAmber of half-witted pun sters make remarks about MT. Yale and his life work, but he never gives them a thought, as is evidenced by the fact that he has heard their ti- rades frequently without so much as dropping a. stitch. Frequently he has caused gasps of delight by his color ings which he takes prom the flower beds in the front of his home. The colorings are those of the canna, bleeding hearts, hollyhocks, sunfolw- CTS, salvias, dallas and narfgolds-
 MT. Yale dreads to have women ayd- wise him regarding his work, for they frequently annoy him by their over bearing attitude in matters which he, as champion, should be consulted about as the last authority. He gets terribly angry sometimes, but as yet has never struck any one.

There are many handsome little suits of white linen, serge, sailcloth and even corded silk for small boys. Small, yet important details distinguish the new models. such as an increased fulIness to the long blouse a new, saucy turn to the cufed trousers and, perhaps. an abbrevfation in their length.
 The suit shown here consists of blouse and side-closing trousers. The cuffs may be omitted from the lower edge of the trousers if desired, but they are very cunning on chubby youngsters and usually well liked. The collar is cut in square outline. but this can be changed easily to a round effect. Even though expensive material be used in developing the suit. it's cost cannot mount very high. since 21A yards of 36- inch goods make the model.
 There are so many sections to the pattern that unusual care is required in cutting it. Several parts are to be evenly laid on a fold of the goods namely, the waistband, collar. blouse front, back, collar and shield. These can be arranged in the order named, working from left to right.
 Now on a lengthwise thread place the back, fly, pockets, belt. front Of trou- sers and sleeve. If the trousers are to be made without cuffs at the lower edge find double "oo'' perforatton on front and back and follow these mark 4aSS Io cut OA 4oWST SdSSS. l hS SQOdIS . collar can have it's outline changed to a round effect by cutting off lower part on small 90" perforations.
 A very servicable material for these little suits is khaki linen Trimmed in white, red, blue or brown braid, it is cool and comfortable looking, yet there is no sacrifice of smartness if the suit is left entirely unadorned.
 A belt of patent leather is used when white linen serge or silk is used to make the suit, but for the tub fabrics, self are just practical and are pleasing because of their uniformity of effect

LOVE SLIPS INTO
 THE SCHOOLROOM

Dear Miss Iibbey:-
 We are two girl friends and very much interested in your work, so we now come to you for advice. We are seventeen and eighteen years, and considered fair looking girls. We are very much in love with the professor of our high school. He is tall and very handsome, thirty-ffve years of age, is married and has four children. We have known him for some time, and always admired him, but never realized his charms. We are certain he returns our affections. We feel that if we continue to attend school we cannot help loving him more and more and we do not want to quit school. Please advise.
 It is very hard lines for a man to do justice to the profession he is fol- lowing g-which brings him in close contact with young women-if they are foolish and sentimental enough to lose their heads over him. The profess sor is courteous, as he is in duty bound to be. You have no right whatever to misconstrue his motives. You should have sufficient respect for his wife and children and yourselves not to let him suspect you were undu1y interest ed in him. Girls who persist in throw ing themselves at a, mans head always find themselves at his feet Get lovers of your own. Surely there are enough single men in the world to become TO- mantle over. Leave the school if you canont conduct yourselves as sensible girls should.

IS GoNG To VAIN uP Things.

is GOING To WARN UP THINGS.
WE understand from Prof. J.. E.
Wilson Of Martinsburg, candidate for
County Superintendent Of Public
Schools, that he is going to put some
ginger in the contest for this Office.
not to mention pep Prof. Wilson
has an attorney employed and says
that he is going to mandamus Prof.
johnson il he should happen TO beelect
ed; and by the way, Prof. Wilson
also claims that there is no possible
chance of Johnson's getting very
many votes any way, and claims
further that johnson is not
eligible to the Office and that as
there are only two running, if John
son should happen to be elected he
Wilson), would secure the position
any way.
Prof. johnson was appointed Coun-
ty Superintendent of Schools by
Governor Major to fill the unexpired
term of Prof. J. L. Shobe, deceased,
and as far as we can hear has made a
most satisfactory official. 1t seems
unusual that if johnson was not eli
gible to the office that this point has
not been raised before. As we under
stand the matter, Prof. johnson is a
candidate on his record and we have
more accredited schools in Audrain
County today than ever before. If
there ever was a county official who
seemed to devote his whole time I'M
selishly to the duties of an office, it
is Prof. W. Clyde johnson. Of course
if he is ineligible that settles the mat
ter. If he is not ineligible, it is a
little unusual for his opponent to try
to beat him on that ground. A con-
test for the Office of County Superin-
tendent of Public Schools should be
free of all political alliances, and a
mans record and qualifications
should be paramount. Is Prof Will
SOL making a contest for this office
on the ground of Prof. Johnson's not |
being eligible, or does he make a
claim that he is better qualified for
the position?

am snre all got many good ideas
that they can use in their work. The
yandalia teachers provided a good
luncheon for all visitors, and the
Teacher Training Class served il. At
ter enjoying the lunch, we spent some
time in telling funny school rom ex-

how much eating together in this way

and all present took part and made
it very interesting and profitable.
Besides this, Leo Coontz of Vandalia
gave us a good talk on patriotism.
We sincerely thank the people of
vandalia and Mr.. Tugel and his corps
of excellent teachers for the privilege
Of meeting here, and for the great
success Of the meeting.
Mr.. Tugel is an untiring worker, a
thorough school man,and Vandalia has
the best schools in the state, size of
town considered.
Saturday night we saw the play
given by the Farber high school. 1t
was a success, and the pupils deserve
great credit for the way they carried
it through.
Thursday night heard a part of
the play given by the Martinsburg
high school at Benton City. They
were well drilled and were interesting
the audience completely, when train
time called me away. ] am sure it
was a great success.
