and she improved very much in her
shooting. averaging from sixteen to

Realizing the wonderful help and
benefit trapshooting was to her. this
devOtec Of the sport soon conceived
the idea OF forming a gun club for
women and interesting all her friends
in trapshootlng. About six weeks
after she had started to shoot at the
flying clays. she organized the Ne

time Miss Hammond has devoted z
great deal Of her time to promoting
the sport Of trapshooting among wo-

took part in was match between the
Nemours Club and ladies of the Fox

HOW ONE WOMAN MAKES MONEY AT HOME
Rachel Morris.

When woman is forced to sup port herself and perhaps children she can think of ways to earn money of which she could never have thought while someone else served as family bread-winner.
 l know a woman in a middle-sized town who, being left a widow with four small children and no money, saw that the family support rested wholly upon her. She had never done public work of any sort and the idea of leaving her babies at home nine hours day while she worked in a department store seemed absurd though it looked as if that were the only way.
 At last a thought came to her: She had always been a good cook; her cakes and pies had been praised ky her husband and many guests. Would she go out and cook in other women's homes No! She would cook right in her own home-and so she did. To- day she is well known and respected by every citizen of her home town is making a comfortable living and lay ing up money with which to educate the children.
 This woman's plan is one which might b successfully carried out by many other women and that is why give it here. She prepares and has her children deliver delicious lunches for the busy people downtown who dc not care to go home for lunch. These lunches are made up of sandwiches pies, cakes, etc. She also sends quan. titles of these prepared lunches to the high school every day. They sel readily to the pupils as well as to tho teachers.
 This woman has built up such q reputation that women of wealth are continually calling upon her to pre-. pare wedding dinners, Christmas din ners, etc. They can depend upon hel to such an extent that they leave the selection and preparation of the din. ners wholly to her tact and original ity; and for this people are willing tC pay literally.

 "The pernicious influence of these institutions" she wrote, "is not to be at all measured by the dollars they take away from their victimized pup ills. What is to be far more regretted. and condemned is the false impress sions they create through their ad- vertisements and literature as to con- ditions in the motion picture profes- sion."
 She might with equal justice have ended, "the condition of the motion picture profession"
 For a false impression they do create as to the stability and general character of the industry.
 And the removing of this false im- pression, by removing it's cause, is a task as well as duty to which those interested should give their sincerest efforts.-F. B., R. in New York Even ing Mail.

PAS VALENTINE.

My pa he got valentine. l guess 1t was from ma, Cause when pa he opened it He scowled and said, 70 pshaw!" My pa he looked just awful mad Just mad enough to swear; But that you know is awful bad, And Sally Jones was there. Now Sally, she's the minister's girl And she's our Toms girl, too Don't see how she's the two mems
 girls
 All at one time, do you? Soon Sally she set out for home; Ma went upstairs to sweep; Pa, he went out to do the chores. So thought I'd take peep. There were two pictures on that
 sheet,
 And both about one man: The first, he sat, by accident. Right in his wife's bread pan. The second was how that man arose Not knowing how hard he'd set, And walked right in the parlor
 large,
 Where a ladies' club had met Those ladies' faces, wreathed in
 smiles,
 And pas bewilderment. Were both portrayed in that val
 entine!
 No wonder pa looked like cent. Now both those pictures were really
 true,
 And the victim was my pa. That bunch of bread the victim was by verdict of my ma. It makes my pa just awful mad To speak of his happenstance; It makes my ma some madder still To view those doughy pantsl

If the proposed Jefferson Highway, connecting the Great Lakes with the Gulf, shall be built, which all are hoping and believing it will, it will afford easy communication from one state to another along the highway; it will reduce the expense of hauling; it will afford means of outing for automobile owners, many of whom are farmers; it will afford a means of cooperation among towns and cities along the route.

A CABINET MEMBERS RULES
 FOR CHURCH ATTENDANCE

The present administration at Washington is pre-eminently Chris tian and church attending one. The President is constant attendant and also a man who at times leads his cabinet in prayer. One of the mem bers. who is very modest and does not wish his name given to the public has the following four rules about going to church:
 l. go to church in bad weather because so many stay away then and I want the minister to be encouraged by as many as possible in the pews.
 ?. go in fair weather because | enjoy being in the fresh air and the fine sunshine and love to meet the crowds who are fair weather Chris tians.
 8. go when there is stranger to preach as I want him to see that he will not have to speak to empty pews, and to see that ours is not dead church.
 4. go to hear my own pastor as l enjoy his preaching so much and want him to know that he is appreciated and that I am ready to hold up his hands.

The preliminary work of locating the route and getting cities, towns and rural people interested has al- ready done much to stimulate interest in better roads. The various com mercial organizations interested in the highway have had meetings, closer commercial and industrial relations are being discussed. and an optimistic feeling of cooperation has started
 Such a highway can not pass through every state and every county in every state it touches, but every county and state can have highways and better country roads. While the various highways are being located and work started, let every community begin by holding meetings and talking good roads. Let the good roads sen- timent be started in every community and while there is talk let the work begin. It will require interest, time and money to build roads, but if the people are really in earnest roads can be built. We are paying for good roads in our loss on account of bad roads. Why not get the roads?-- Farm and Ranch.

WHEN OFFICE SEEKS MEN.

The men who bear the burdens incl dent to keeping up the cost of county and state government do not take enough interest in the affairs of the county. They are as rule too busy blowing, sowing, gathering and pay ing to see to it that their taxes are economically invested.
 Most counties are spending enough to pay for better roads and not get ting the roads; enough bonds are voted, taxes levied and collected to build court houses, jails, bridges, etc., but the taxpayers are not getting these Improvements.
 Where does the taxpayers money go? Are the officials dishonest? Sel- dom. Men who are entrusted with the responsibility of carrying out the wishes of the people are generally honest. Most of them are conscien- tious. But they are not business men, many of them having had little ex- perience in managing business enter prises. While wishing to spend the peoples money economically they per init contractors, dealers or political friends to impose upon the people. Whether officers are conscientious or otherwise the fact remains that often the peoples interest suffers because of the incompetency of those they elect.
 Many conventions rather than risk partisan discussion and division that would permit an incompetent man to be selected, appoint a nominating committee to bring in report. This committee after thorough investiga- tion selects a leader or leaders and the convention seldom fails to ratify the selection, because it has confidnce in the judgment of the nominating committee selected to esek competent men.
 Why not have nominating com mittee of the best citizens of the county; men linivg in different neigh borhoods, but interested in economi- Ical service; men who serve without pay and who put efficiency and econ omy above politics? Let these men select the best men in the county and ask them to sacrifice their own busi- ness for the benefit of their fellow citizens.
 Then when the men this committee selects announce, the people should see to it that they are elected without a sacrifice of the candidates time and money. In this way, county officers would be under obligations to no one but the people who elect them. And they could enter upon their offices un- hampered.
 This would be equivalent to the of flee seeking and the people finding the right men.-Farm and Ranch.
