E UP AND PAINT UP!
How to Start a Campaign That Will Produce
Results i'm Our Town.

T(IRST: Take your telephone in hand-get a half-dozen
boosters together-"the fewer the quicker" you'll get
started. Talk it over and before you part, agree
upon a meeting to be held q day or two later-each
OF you agreeing to have present at that meeting other GER
tain ones whose interest will be valuable, especially some
public official and some physicians who can tell about the
need OF public and private cleanliness.
Second: When the meeting is called, organize at once.
Select q chairman and other officers 1--WE suggest enough
vice chairmen to include every cooperating organization
and interest), and instruct the new chairman to appoint all
the chairmen Of the various subcommittee within a
day or two-these and the officers to constitute the general
committee. There should be committees on cooperation,
finance and publicity, one to provide wagons for rubbish
children, and one to interest all merchants.
Adopt q resolution requesting the board Of health to
proclaim the opening OF the Campaign for the Cleaning.
Sanitation and Identification OF the town.
Adjourn. after fixing date for q GettoWork meeting q
few days later, which all these chairmen and members OF
their committees will attend to plan their work.
Third: Write to Chairman Allen W.. Clark Of the Ma
tional Clean Up and Paint Up" campaign bureau, Kinloch
building, st. Louis, Mo, and get free literature telling how
to clean up and paint up the town, together with reports
of results in cities, towns and villages throughout the
country.
Fourth: Get % many men and women a. possible to
WORK. each at some specific thing. Don't make the mls-
take of heaping upon one willing and patient enthusiast
to do specific work, and chairnen who will think and work
and inspire suggestions and zeal among the members Of
their committees, are essential.
You'll want enough committees to put everybody to
work; but not too many committees to complicate and con.
fuse. Select Q half dozen or more for specific work. and
do we'll that specific work.

Queer Use For Cordite.

Some years ago Lord Haldane star tied the house of commons when re- plying to remark made by another member as to the danger attached to the use of cordite by saying that he himself possessed a walking stick made of cordite which he sometimes brought down to the house and left in the cloakroom. An uneasy look stole over the faces of the members present, but in a scientific and highly technical speech his lordship explained that cordite was a perfectly innocent sub stance until brought into contact with dangerous allies, and without certain ingredients necessary to convert 1t into an explosive 1t might be handled with impunity. At the same time 1t was noticed that Lord Haldane's stick was given a wide berth when fl was seen In the cioakroom.

4 Boost For Barley.

Barley is strangely neglected by the cook of today" says writer in the Woman's Home Companion. "As it contains more starch and sugar and less gluten than wheat, it might well take the place of the potato on our ta- bles and this with benefit to purse and health.
 "One cup of barley will swell to five times its original size when cooked. and its uses are wonderfully varied
 As breakfast dish with sugar and cream it is rich and satisfying: for dinner, as garnish for meat or with rich meat gravy, 1t makes savory entree; at tea time cold steamed barley cut in slices and Drowned in hot butter, then served with maple sirup. is deli. cious.
 Combined with dried or fresh fruits it makes as wholesome desserts as rice Indeed, there is no way in which rice may be prepared in which barley can not be cooked with just as good re- suits. Barley requires a long time to cook properly. but now we have the cereal cooker and the fireless cooker and with them the opportunity to have the perfect cereal" .r...

Camping Courtesy.

Good camping grounds should be the special property of sportsmen and low CTS of the woods, and it is n pity that they should so often be desecrated by the unappreciative. This is the season when the forest floor will be strewl with tin cans and cracker boxes, when the clean woods will be marred with all sorts of ugly rubbish, and when the pleasure of late campers will be half destroyed by the vandalism of their predecessors. Great tracts of for est will be blackened by flames set from little campfires. The growth of young timber will be checked. And all the trouble could be hanished If only people would observe the few simple rules of the woods! The forest is the last refuge of solitude amid beauty; therefore do not make it's se- cluded glades Into vulgar picnic grounds. Noblesse oblige there as else where, and though the after conner may not know you he will know what sort of person you are by the condi- tion of the camping grounds you leave. Countryside Magazine.

Horses In the Time of Homer.

The horses used in Homer's time were war horses. The warriors were drawn In chariots. The art of riding was known, but it Is alluded to as something unusual. Ulysses at the time of his shipwreck ''bestrode q plank, like horseman on big steed. ' There are reasons for believing that the practice of riding was much later than that of driving, and the myth of the centaur, where. according to Shake speare, man is incorpsed and demina tured with the beast" probably origi- mated at an early period when the ap. pearance of man on horseback was n novel sight.

petuously, please, please let me go

A culver of deep emotion swept the
face of David.

an effort. why, have no home;

so good to everybody! And when you
do, oh! may come to your"
eve shall see, Nell" said David,
and his heart flUttered as he read the
unutterable devotion expressed in
that sweet face.
There were wry and sullen faces
among the four step-children who
had fattened on the Unselfish bounty
of David for so long a time. Bruce,
however, before David went. away,
managed to borrow his best suit and
spoil it in a disgraceful village de-
bauch, and when David came to pack
up his few belongings he found shirts,
collars and ties few in number, hay
ing been appropriated by Earle.
David went on his way. He re-
solved to strike out down Buda val
ley, where settlements were sparse;
where there were many small farms
and presumably a lack of neigh
borhOod workers. It was a peaceful,
enjoyable tramp for four days in the
midst of a beautiful country, and
free from cares that had hitherto
weighted down his spirit. Only
memory was sentient, and he could
not forget the fair, confding face of
Nell.

There was no chance of meeting
anyone, so David proceeded down the
road, or rather trail. A wagon came
into view. David stepped aside, but
the driver halted his horses, stared,
and then began laughing immoder-
ately.
"Why the bathing costume?" he
challenged, and David told his story.
The man looked him over kindly. He
got to questioning him.
'You come with me and I'll see to
better duds," he said, finally; "and
I'll give you a grand good job"
He did. The man had small april
cot orchard. He took David in as
an employee; then as a partner. New
er was there a more industrious,
eompanionable fellow.
And then a remarkable fortune
came David's way. A large estate
was left to his employer. The latter,
out of sheer liking for his partner,
turned the farm entirely over to
David.
One morning as David was start
ing from the little Vine-embOwered
house to the orchard, he started,
stared and then a wondering and as
well glad expression came into his
face. Approaching was Nell with a
carpet sack on her arm, flushed, en-
barrassed, eager.
