If you have not already made up
your mind as to how you will vote in
the coming primary, you must have
been deaf and blind. Never before
have the people listened more atten-
lively to the speakers. Never before
has there been so much of speech
making and advertising on the part
of the candidates.

CITY SCHOOLS OPEN SEPT. 1s.

The city schools will open Monday,
Sept. 18. The colored school will open
one week thereafter. This decision
was reached by the board of trustees,
and upon the recommendation of the
city board of health. 1t is not thought
necessary to close the schools on ac-
count of the infantile paralysis scare.
There is no case in Union or Union
county and it is thought to be all
right to have the schools open on time.

is THE WORLD GETTING BET.
TER?
President Wilson and Many Noted
Thinkers Give Their Views.

Is humanity in the grip of evil?
That question so big and daring has
commanded the careful thought of
the nations foremost thinkers. Gov
ernors, congressman, even President
Wilson himself were asked for their
views, and the many and conflicting
replies received by Louis Tracy prove
that this important question received
the careful thought of those who were
asked.
President Wilson says: "The pow
ers of evil are not as strong as we
would think" while other replies are
not as optimistic.
From these replies, Louis Tracy, an
author and correspondent of interna-
tional reputation, has taken his theme,
weaving around them a master-plot,
the like of which has never before
been presented on the screen, entitled
"The Grip of Evil"
A story that reveals the real side
of humanity in a style so gripping
and thrilling, the finished pictures
have commanded the universal praise
of the country's leaders, and think
ing people. One of the most power
full stories ever conceived for a silent
drama, abrim with dramatic action

SUNSHINE FOR THE INVALID

II is rather a difficult matter to tell
what to give an invalid or con-
valescent for pastime and amuse-
ment book is too heavy, fruit and
delicacies are often forbidden, and even
flowers come under the ban of some
nurses affected with the microbe and
germ fear. A sunshine envelope is
easily made, costs but a trifie, and if
carefully selected will be a scource of
cheer. which is a good accompaniment
for the medicine.
First. select little clippings from
newspapers and magazines Select
nothing doleful. but rather some good
jokes. good CHEEKY verses, the little
optimistic jfngles which abound in the
present day periodicals. the illustrated
jokes and a few helpful thoughts
along the more serious lines. OF
course. one must try to take the
tastes Of the invalid into consideration.
Having collected the material. buy a
pad Of paper, the ordinary note size,
and a big envelope large enough to
hold the sheets of paper. Separate the
sheets and on each one paste the clip
pings. Place them in the envelope and
send them to the shut-in
The patient who is too weak to hold
a book or a newspaper, can manage
one OF these sheets conveniently. and
that is why the paper pad is better
than a scrap books. If the invalid en-
joys pictures, the sheets may be filed

THE CARE OF BOOKS.

IF YOU like to give the artistic touch
L to your books by making covers
for them of fine canvas you may work
exactly like that used by our great
grandmothers. The cover is made the
same as the calico and Bingham cover
for school books used to be made. but
on the outer side little conventional
designs and the name are worked.
Sometimes the only working will be
the name. All of us have a few books
which are very dear because of assoc
citation. the helpfulness of their con-
tents but the bindings have become
worn and shabby. The canvas binding
in cross-stitch is not only pretty, but
it is quaint and will save the books.
To make an attractive bookholder.
take a firm piece of natural coiored
linen lS12xq inches. Basic hens in the
two long sides and turn the edges OF
the short sides. Two narrow strips
wrapped around heavy Irvine ten and
one-ha inches long should be sewed
to the short ends for handles cut two
pieces QX23. inches for pockets. stitch
hens in one of the long sides and turn
the other edges in. Basic these peck
cts on the long piece and stitch all
or a conventional design and the
initials may be embroidered or stenciled
on the front. This holder is not only
convenient for carrying a book to the
club or library. but is also handy for
a guide book when travelling. 1t may
easily be made larger TO hold maya
zine.
To improvse a bookcase. procure
from the grocer four empty fruit
crates, each about twenty-four inches
long. Nail these one above the other
and remove the Stats from the front OF
each crate. Paint the crates a dark brown.
This will make a good iour-section
case. Hang in front of the books q
curtain of dark brown material.
If the volumes are kept on a shelf
every book should be taken down oc-
casionaly and busted. Before putting
the books back the shelves should be
washed with warm water and turpen-
tine. and when they are dry little
cedar oil should be applied to them
with a brush. This will keep away in.

with pretty pictures cut from the mag
azines. When sent to inmates of chill
drens hospitals. pictures are n source
of delight to the little ones and help
them pass many weary hour pleas
antly. The sunshine envelope gives
opportunity for wide range of taste.
When sending a gift to an invalid, do
not. above ALL send anything that will
your present be something that viii
make the sick one forget his affections.
To make a booklet for an invalid take
a short story which you have heartily
enjoyed. remove it from the magazine
by loosening the wire fasteners. bind
with booklet paper in any desired
shade, decorate in fancy lettering on
the cover or with an original book
cover design, punched, and tie with silk
cord or ribbon.
A convenience for a sick person is a
good sized shoe bag, with ample
pockets that may be fastened with
large safety pins to the mattress. on
whichever side of the bed it is needed.
In the pockets may be stored BOOKS,
papers. fancy work, handkerchief and
various articles that are constantly
being lost in the bed. This idea is sug
gested for one who is confined to a
bed for some time, yet is able to read,
write and amuse ones self
A pretty gift for an invalid is linen
FELLOWSHIP. Its cool softnesS will bring
relief and rest. 1t may have an initial,
a monogram or a spray of flowers
worked on one end, but frills and trim
mings should be avoided
