Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens of thousands of farmers as well as
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
in spite of generally short crops and re-
duced wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How were these burdensome store bills
cut down? By the real money-saving
power of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.
Hastings 1916 Seed Catalogue tells how
to cut store bills down; tells about gar
den and farm seeds of kinds and quail
ity that cannot be bought from your mer-
chant or druggist. It's full of garden and
farm information. It's free if you ask
for it. Write for it now. H. 6. HASTINGS

A Delightful Visit Made to
the First Ward School

A visit to Miss Washburn's room
of lovely second grade children when
they sang such lovely little songs and
recited SO beautifully, was a pleasure
indeed.
And next short visit to Miss Mer-
ritt's room where her bright class of
fourth grade children were busy with
geography lesson. A book was hand
ed to US and the lesson pointed out.
A noticeable thing of great interest
here as we'll as with other teachers in
most instances was that the lesson
had been so carefully prepared by the
teacher that every thought and inter
esting point was carefully gone over
and brought out.
Then just peep into Miss Dormi-
ney's room, who was so absorbed and
interested in her class that she didn't
even see us, so as time was limited we
stole quietly away down the stairs
when we met DR.. Ford in the lower
hall just preparing for a fire drill
though he told us of his plan and
asked us not to be alarmed. | felt a
thrillof excitement, as the bell rang
out the fire alarm, but from our po-
sition in the hall, we saw teachers and
children halt at once, no matter what
/ =
they were doing, not a word was
spoken, but each trained like a soldier
took his place. The boys, whose du-
ty is to open doors, handle the chemi-
cal fire eXtinguishers, etc, were at
their places so quickly that it seemed
almost magical and in less time that
it takes to tell it, not child or teach
er remained in the building. DR.. Ford
explaining to us at the same time that
they had strict orders not even to try
and save one thing, adding that many
a little life had paid the forfeit of
burning to death by simply STOPPING
to pick up pencil and being knocked
down and trampled up by his fellows.
DR.. Ford realizes, and emphasizes
the value of traing in little things as
well as big ones and never 1ooses an
opportunity to impress on the child
ren's minds the fact of safety first"
and urges them when crossing the
railroad to stop, look and listen.
The average man thinks he has his
hands full in looking out for two,
three or four children, but Dr. Ford
has heart big enough for all the,
more than eleven hundred children in
the schools of our city and his magne-

tism and power which controls his
students so we'll is due to the heart
interest-the real love for humanity,
little children and his work.
1t SENS unjust to speak of the few
rooms we had the time to visit, when
we are SO sure of the splendid work
being done by the principle and other
teachers of the different grades in the
first ward.
Will only add that the parents who
fail to visit the schools especially the
rooms of their own children, are mis-
sing a rare opportunity to encourage
both their children and the teacher of
their children, and to really
understand the true value of educa-
ton.

The mothers who never visit the
schools are missing a great privilege
as we'll as pleasure
My first visit to the First Ward
school was made early in this month
1t was beautiful sunshiny morn
ing, seeming more like April than the
first of January We reached he
school just before the morning recess
and heard the bell ring and saw the
three hundred or more well-trained
pupils march quietly and orderly out.
We only had a chance for short
peep into most of the rooms, where
every teacher was earnestly and busily
about her task in the training and
moulding of little characters. | won

mother-teachers are doing for our
children. They really seemed like lit

theirs are the very best, planning and

problems that will be best for each in
dividual child and their earnest desire
to help those that are weak and I'M
able to keep up with the rest.
1t was real treat to visit the little
tots in Miss Matthews room
the RICH t, eager, little
faces, as their sweet teacher made
every point of the lesson clear and in
teresting to them. Then, DIR. Ford
came in and suggested that these lit
tie third grade folk might have lit
tie literary society, all their own, with
Rotations and debates each Friday
afternoon DR.. Ford explained TO
them at length just what they could
accomplish in this way, he had even
taken the trouble to plan and figure
out just what letter of the Greek al
phabet their society would have as
name when their class reaches the
High school, which will bethe Delta
and he added that he wished to have
these small classes begin now so that
they would be prepared and unem-
barrassed as High school students to
debate and do the work of their clas-

ATE DIRT IN VAIN

TT is one of the keen ironies of Fate
1 that Mr.. Wilson, after making A
disgraceful surrender of his country's
rights to German pirates in hopes to
catch "the German vote" should after
all be repaid with their enmity
Heaven knows and Berlin too, that
Germany has had a long suffering friend
in our cowardly, time-serving president
for months quietly and with naught but
dishonest, wordy protests, enduring the
slaughterings of Americans on the sea,
and the impudent destruction, in viola
ton of all law, of their ships and car
goes, a shameful exhibition of disloyalty
to every honorable tradition of our
country that makes every true Ameri-
can blush to the ears-and yet in spite
of it all, this cunning politician trimmer
has lost the very prize he was seeking
to win at cost of the Nations honor
and his own good name
Now he is frantically endeavoring by
fresh attempts to placate this unfriendly
German sentiment so undeservedly his
portion. Mr. Daniels obsequiOusly well
comes the German pirate U-59 sub
marine, and bids American naval boats
stand by and rescue the victims of this
under-sea assassin thus insolently wag-
ing his brutal war on unarmed ships at
our very doors! So, too, on the birthday
of Germany's bloody-handed Kaiser,
Mr. Wilson thru Mr. Daniels orders
our warships to fly the German flag
And, now, it has come out that Mr..
Wilson's campaign managers are doing
the very thing they tried falsely to put
on Mr.. Hughes, viz, secretly bargain
ing with the pro-German societies to
get their votes
But still the German voters refuse to
trust Woodrow Wilson. And well they
may distrust him, for if ne would betray
his own country's interests as he did
when he reasonably informed Dumba,
the. Austrian. ambassador, that his bold
notes of protest against these German
murders of Americans were only written
for political effect, he would also betray
their interests.

Woven Flower Forms.

Little woven flowers are simple to
make and are an effective way 10 de-
velop small flower forms. They should
not measure more than one-half inch
when finished, and if made in different
colors and groupted together will be
wonderfully attractive.
Mark little half-inch circles as a
guide and then carry the thread back
and forth, dividing the circle, until ten
radii are formed. An extra radius is
added TO make the number uneven. The
needle is then brought up in the center
where the threads cross and woven
over and under each thread for quar-
ter Of an inch. Yellow lines, with the
weaving in brown, lavender, with yell
low center, and pink and light green,
are some of the attractive combinations
that will make an attractive grouping
of these flowers. 1t is an excellent way
10 develop wreath and festoon designs.

FLASHY Innings FOR COATS
Designers Have Gone to the Extreme,
Both in Color and Design, in
Seasons Modes.

One of the sensations Of the coat
season is the lavish use of the most
astonishing Innings, such patterns be-
ing selected as display the most bizarre
cubist ideaS-birds and flOrette effects,
squares and patches and all manner of
queer things that are not unlike poster
designs. Since the outer garment is so
conservative in effect, it is only rea-
sonable that the designer should go
happily crazy over the interior decora-
tionS..
Pussy willow and all the new figured
silks are most in favor. A few solid
colors are used, but more often the
selection is some dizzifying stripe or
even check-very noisy, but always
with a color note that is harmonious
with the outer fabric, which may be
of wool velours, brOadclOth, velour de
nord or plush. Following the present
interest In gold tones, the best pat
terms embrace old gold and green, old
gold and empire blue or old gold and
black-the color of the garment, Of
course, determining the selection Of
the lining.
