ROBERT SIMPSON HAS
PROVED HIS NERVE
By HAMILTON,
United Press Staff Correspondent,

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-An OBJ
scure little town, Maryville, Mo-, the
home of one of Missouri's many
normal schools, gave Robert Simp-
son, who broke the senior record in
the Amateur Athletic unions recent
meet at Newark, N. j., his start to
fame.
Simpson, by, the way, is one Of
the few western athletes who have
lived up to a reputation established
in the west. 1t is an unfortunate
fact that athletes from the west are
prone to elbow" when they go to the
big eastern meets and as conse-
Grence, their claims ordinarily are
not taken very seriously. Simpson,
however, proved beyond any doubt
that he is the real thing when he
went over the 120-yard high hurdles
at Newark in IA 40 seconds, a new
worlds record unless A. A. U. Of
fieials allow a previous mark OF IA
o-5 made by Simpson.
1t was four years ago last spring
that Simpsons name was printed on
the official program of the north
vest Missouri high school meet at
Maryville as the only entrant from
Bosworth high school. The lanky
country boy was entered in every
event save the hurdles. Neither he
nor his trainer thought much OF

simpson as a hurdler.

Simpson as hurdler.
Simpson started with the 100
yard dash and he finished second,
Then he went into the 900 dash and
finished second. In the half mile
and the quarter he finished first
and second, respectively. He broke
the record for the shot-put. the dis
Gus throw and the broad jump. He
also was first in the high jump and
finished a good second in the pole
vault.
When Simpson got to the hop, step
and jump he was little bit tired,
but he managed to crack another
record.
Simpsons wonderful feats, gained
for his school, Bosworth high, second
place in the meet, almost beating
cut the school which had taken first
place in every meet since the games
had been contested at Maryville.
Missouri university athletic au-
thoritics heard of him end at once
gobbled him up. He was not heard
from, except in prophetic way,
until after he had spent year at
Missouri, for Missouri Valley con-
ference rules, like most conference
rifles. prohibit freshmen taking part
in athletic events.
The following year. however,
Simpson blossomed out as a hurdler
and he has been busy winning events
CT this sort ever since.

ATLANTIC COUNTY
FARMERS FIELD DAY.

The success of the Field Day held
last year warrants the Farmers Week
Committee of the Hammonton Voea-
tional School of Agriculture to hold a
similar event this year at Hammonton
Park, Saturday, September 8. This
Field Day is for the purpose of ex-
hibiting farm products, as few realize
the agricultural possibilities of South
Jersey, and the variety and quality of
products raised in this section.
1t is to be hoped that the poultry
men, fruit raisers and truck growers
will unite in sending exhibits to this
Field Day meeting, as exhibits are
open to all farmers and growers of
farm products in Atlantic County and
the neighboring counties. Ribbons
will be awarded to the successful ex-
hibitors in each class. Competent
judges will be secured to properly
grade each exhibit.
The morning will be devoted to the
exhibition of fruit, vegetables, flowers,
poultry, stock and transformed prod
ucts. Ample time will be given at
noon for luncheon. The program of
the afternoon, while not yet arranged,
will consist of speeches, by well quail
fed men, on agricultural subjects of
Importance and timely interest.
All South Jersey farmers are invit-
ed to join in making this Field Day a
success by showing the quality and
variety of products which al be and
are raised and produced in this part
of New Jersey. Send in your exhibit
and be present in person.

SHOULD WIVES BE PARTNERS
OR ORNAMENTS?

An editorial in the July Woman's
Home Companion says:
MANY men seem to take a certain
pride in the fact that their wives have
all the freshness and lack of expert
ence of a little girl They think, be-
cause they have shut their wives off
from any contact with real life, that
they are better, more indulgent hus-
bands than those who go to their
wives at night with their troubles,
and who never make an important
business move without first planning
it out at home. They are wrong. In
the first place, they deprive them
selves of a valuable asset in business
the clear, penetrating power of a
woman's intuition. In the second
place, it is no compliment to a woman
to keep her forever a little girl. Life
is not made rich by evading response
bilities; the man who shuts his wife
off from his business because he wants
to save her worry, and from child
bearing because he cannot think of
her enduring pain, generally succeeds
in giving her a sense of utter useless
ness that makes her miserable. And,
in the event of his death, he leaves
her problems with which she is utterly
u~nprepared to cone.
MANY of the moral breakdowns oc-
cur, not in youth, but in the middle
life period, when habits are supposed
to have been formed and character
fixed. Youth is usually free from
c~ovetousness and greed. Almost ev-
cry week the newspapers report the
financial difficulties, if not the down
right dishonesty, of some respected
mar in middle life, who has sacrificed
everything in trying to get too much.
"And we have noted that such ca
tastrophes take place less often in the
families where the wife is fully ac-
quainted with her husbands affairs"

OUR \

Now, all together, in one great vol
ume of sincerity:
Here's to woman-our women-the
women of Pleasantville and vicinity
When God created the earth He also
created man, and the birds, and the
beasts, and the fishes, and the reptiles,
and all of the other creatures and
things of the earth. But with all of
the myriads of His creation there was
one thing lacking. The essence, the
goodness, the purity of life was alb
sent. He created woman.
And woman-our to-
day His most priceless gift to this
earth. Her nobility and purity are
the brightest spot of existence. The
sunshine of her soul floods the life of
man with a radiance on the darkest
day. Without her there would be no
human life.
Here's to woman-to OUR women
the one great JOY in the life of man.
