Munich and Clyde are talking about
going into partnership in putting a

In past seasons both these neighboring

maintaining teams that easily led all
other towns in the county at the close
of the season. There seems to be a
growing sentiment in the formation of
a county league for this season that
the teams comprising the league
should be composed entirely of home

sent.

Mrs. S. o. Donaldson Current Events Specialist Says That
it Is Women's Natural Curiosity That Makes Them
Eager to Keep Abreast With the Tmes-But They Too
Often Look Only At the Bubble on the Surface.

But don't you find that as they
have dropped many old-time accom-
plishments. such as embroidering.
singing and painting. that they have
become better informed in other
ways?"
Mrs. Donaldson reflected for a min
ute.
They surely have lost many of
their old-time accomplishments. but
still they are in no way blue-stock-
ings.' To be sure just at present there
is an awakening interest in current
events caused by the war in Europe.
Women. il they have a chance, have
always taken an interest in what is
going on in the world. Their feminine
curiosity leads them to inquire. They
see the bubble on the surface and they
wonder what makes it. And it is the
work of women like me to show them
the forces beneath the surface. More
and more it is growing impossible for
women to keep abreast with current
events without having some one to
'consecutize'-if I may coin a word
the mass of facts for them"
Did you find it difficult to speak
in public at first?" asked the Girl
Not at ALL" was Mrs. Donaldson's
answer. II simply was full of my

Answers to Correspondents.

Mrs. o. r. writes: My little girl sleeps
in a big bed and she always had to have
some one lie down with her until she fell
asleep. 1 stopped that and now she cries
for an hour. Do you think 1t is best to
give her her way in that
If the child is afraid and cries for that
reason. 1 think l would not make her go
to sleep alone. Some nervous children
suffer tortures by being forced to go to
bed alone. / think she will get accus-
toned to it as she gets older and will not
suffer SO much.
Mrs. NJ. G. writes: Lately my children
have begun to vex me terribly. Tho boy
is five and the girl is three. They some
times do not listen to what l say and
will even raise their hands to me as II
to strike me. Some days neither talking
nor punishment will make the boy be-
have. What ought to do?"
Your experience Is one every mother
has. 1t takes infinite patience and self
control to rear children. You must be as
gentle and loving as possible with them
every minute of the time. Try never to
lose your own temper. When you must
punish, do not do it in anger or impa-
tience, but explain beforehand that it Is
because you want them to remember to
be good. You may not see results right
away. but you will in time. Your work
will not be over for many years, as they
will need constant reminders until they
reach the age of self-control.

But Mrs. Donaldson is more than

is history and current events. Four
years ago she made up her mind to
do something on her own initiative.

she liked to do best. She had nat
ural talent for expressing herself.
though she had never spoken in pub
lie. and she had a love Of history.
Combining these two talents she de-
cided to do for the women of her own
acquaintance something the same
thing that Miss Janet Richards Is
doing in Washington.
Mrs. Donaldson realized that. in
order to do this we'll. she would need
more than the training that she could
give herself through reading; so
every summer she determined to
spend months attending lectures at
Columbia University, New York. gain

beginnings of history ITSELF With this
new way of looking at current events

of women and carried on lectures and
conducted classes.

Sne was handsome in figure. unduly tall,
fair, 1reckled. with a tinge of sand in
the color of her eyelashes. Her hair was
OF sandy auburn and her face was beau
tiful both In effect and feature. AS one
OF her contemporaries put It. "she had
countenance full of spirit and sweetness.
exec ssively interesting and. without in
delicacy. voluptuous." Her dress was al
ways becoming though seldom worth SO

Elizabeth Inchbald was born October
10. l'oS. the daughter of simple English
farmers. Her brother. who had gone on
the stage. encouraged Elizabeth to take
up the profession of an actress, In spite
OF decided impeachment in her speech.
She was dissatisfied at home, SO when she
was 10 she left home with the avowed in
tention of seeking her fortune" She
found that 1t was not SO easy al she had
supposed to get on alone in London. so
she married the actor Joseph Inchbald
and began her dramatic career playing
Cordelia to his Lear. They undertook the
work Of travelling actors. travelling
through England. often going on foot.
Not long after this Inchbald took his wife
to Paris where he vainly sought to make
a living as a painter. Largely on account
Of her impediment Mrs. Inchbald had not
succeeded as an actress and so she de-
cided to turn her wits to work in writing
plays. But the greatest of all her writ
ings was her novel called "A Simple
Story" which was one Of the earliest ex-
amples Of the novel of passion and which
was the prototype Of such books as Jane
Eyre" AS a writer Mrs. 1nchbald was
very successful for those days. Some
times she received as much as 5000 for
a single play. She was offered $4,000 for
her memoirs and. though she wrote them.
she destroyed them before her death at
the advice of Bishop Poynter. who felt
that they would undoubtedly do more
harm than good. Mrs. Inchbald was one
of the most fascinating women of her
time. Though given to sentimental at
tachments she was blameless in her life
and never married after the death of
her first husband. James Inchbald.

Friday October Is, 1915.
This is a doubtful day. according to
astrolosy. Saturn and the Sun are
benefic aspect
Merchants should be fairly confident
while this confguration prevails. but
they should not seek cooperation with
men in stronger financial position.
Bankers have a favorable direction.
There is gain for them in southern
countries. while the stars are posted
as they are today.
Saturn gives warning against spec
ulation in steel or any mineral today.
The signs are sinister for mining and
for trade in metals.
The rule is not an auspicious one
for starting new enterprises or for
making new business associations
Partnerships are not happily govern
ed.
Astrologers give warning Of an In
crease of mental maladies. of all sorts
as a result of the war. These will
multiply greatly. owing to the malign
power of Uranus. the planet that rules
the subconscious mind.
Business failures are foreshadowed.
Dealers in art objects, musical instru-
ments and antiques will suffer severe
shrinkage In trade.
The seers foresee serious calamities
for "a new class Of millionaires whose
gain is measured in blood" This is
interpreted as a sinister prophecy con-
cerning manufacturers Of implements
Of war
The opposition Of Mars and Saturn
in the horoscope of the Gar will con-
tinue to bring reverses to Russia for
some time to come. the seers predict.
Winter will bring unparalleled horrors
in the war. it Is prophesied-
The rise of novel industries and the
multiplication of unusual occupations
will furnish work for women in the
new year.
Success for an Arctic explorer is
presaged by the stars. One long lost
will return.
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is may
expect a year of ups and downs. They
should watch both health and wealth.
Children born on this day may meet
many vicissitudes through life, but
they will have much that is uncommon
in their experiences Women may face
sensational episodes.
