CAN BOAST NOBLE LINEAGE
"Johns" Have Distinguished Them
selves In the World in a Countless
Variety of Ways.

The name John is one of our best,
also one of our oldest. 1t is found in
nearly all languages, and no matter
how disguised, from Juan to johann
mes, it is almost certain to be ldenti-
fed. The Johns have magnificent
family tree. 1t is instructive to trace
the genealogy. There was an apostle
named John, and also John the
Baptist. There have been 22 popes
and one antipope by the name of
John. Three kings of Aragon and
CASTLE, one at least of Bohemia,
numbers of Portugal, France and
England have borne the name of
John. There was John Sobieski, the
greatest of the Poles" There was
John, surnamed Lakeland, who was
forced to sign the Magma Charta.
There was John the Good. Running
down the famous list we find also
John the Fortunate, John the Per-
feet, John the Fearless, John the
Constant. Was there ever an ignoble
John?
Then there was Jack OF the Bean
Stalk fame; also Little John, who
was not little, but who, on the con-
trary, was tall and strong and who
was one of the most impudent fol"
lowers of Robin Hood. If old King
John gave England the Magma
Charta, John Hancock helped to give
us our Declaration of Independence
If John of Poland distinguished
himself on old battlefelds, Sir John
French bears up the name today. If
the historical and symbolical Johns
seem too numerous we might add
John Rockefeller and John Condor.
And how about John Doe?

One of the best social times we

evening, March II, at the splen
did home of Mr.. and Mrs. C. M.
Gates, and this IS the way 1t hap
pened.
The affair had been planned
by the Ladies Aid Society as IA
Dollar Social" Each mem Der
was to earn a dollar. At this
meeting they were to present
the money and tell how they Sc
cured it. From reports they
washed windows, sewed, baked
built fires, poisoned prairie dogs,
sold eggs, chickens, soap, took IN
washings and space forbids me
to mention all they did. Certain
ly they are an Industrious So
clety.
We husbands were invited to
be present, and we we're, most
of US. Games and conversation
took up an interesting period,
and then the Chicken Pie Lunch
con, to which all did ample JUS
tice
Then there were several IN
strumental selections and comic
production, by some of our cap
able artists, and we babe good
night to the kind host and host
ess thankful for the pleasures OF
the evening, and some of us
wondering when the next event
would be announced.

TO PROTECT BIRDS.

President Wilson has signed an
order creating the Big Lake reserve
in northeastern Arkansas for the
protection of native birds. The new
reserve, about nine miles long and
varying from one hundred yards to a
mile and quarter in width, forms
probably the most important bird
reservation in the country. Big Lake
is famous for its vast number of wa
terfowl and plume birds.
