I'D LIKE TO BE 4 HOBO GAY;
BUT, ALAS, MUST KEEP ON
MAKING HAY.

I'd like to be a gay hobo, reap
ing things that others sow I'd like to
eat the bread Of life without the work
and fuss and strife. I'd like to sleep
beneath the stars and ride tho bump
ers on the cars, I'd like to shm the
horrid wars, ! hate the sight Of blood
and scars. I'd like to go when going's
good-Tm sick Of chores and saving
wood. I'd like to leave the snow and
cold, my blood is thin, I'm growing
old. | hate to lug in wood and coal.
I'd rather hunt a swimming hole or
with a wabbly willow pole, find ease
and quiet for my soul. Why must
work the livelong day a plowing spuds
and making hay? The hobo lives
and dosen't work-f | lay off Pm
called a shirk. Ton hours a cay my
normal stunt, no wonder am such a
runt; don't have time to eat enough
to put fat on my carcass tough. And
when / wend my weary way, home
ward fi last at close of day, my good
wife r,.es : me with this lay: "The
front .cree0 door is on the bum,
mi ion fli-s inside have come. The
chicken fence has busted out, the hens
have found it isn't stout; they've
scratched the beans and dug the peas;
the cherry slugs arc in the trees. Then
after supper cut the grass, and find
your wrench the stove leaks gas; the
wash line says, the bcdstead squeaks,
canning times here, the boiler leaks"
I'd like to read the daily news, I'd
like to revel in the views Of sunsets
rare and gorgeous hues. It's not for
me, and say I'd be weary viii and
take my fill Of doing nothing but set
still.-(By w F. Vaplon, State Lead

be used in making soap, or in making
tallow that is good for chapped
hands.
Goose grease is an old-time remedy
iOr sore throats.
Chicken-fat, rendered, makes an ex-
eellent cookingfat. 1t is especially
good for biscuits, cornbread, muffins
or spice cakes.
Beet fat or suet, is much cheaper
than lard and can in most cases, be
substituted for it.
Any fat from pork can be render
ed and used in cooking When trim
ming meat at home, save all fat and
render it. II the meat is trimmed at
the market, insist on having the
trimmings delivered with the meat
The unrendered rind that is cut
from meat makes an excellent grease
for griddles, skillets, or other pans.
When cooking bacon, pour off the ex-
ces fat and save it. 1t is very good
for browning potatoes or parsnips.
The cracklings that remain when
fat is rendered may be used in soap.

Mr.Walnnarth
By PAULINE D. EDWARDS

As a girl l had not many crOnies.
did not care for this girl and that girl
each for brief season, but preferred
one very intimate friend, such friend
as | might tell all my joys or sorrows
TO and who would respond in kind. To
others 1 was reserved. would not
think Of making a confdante of any
! but the closest intimate friend. Pos
sibly this may have resulted in my
having such a friend who superseded
all others in the matter of intimacy.
Alice Wetherell and l were first
schoolmates, then college chums. After
our graduation we were separated for
year, then we were brought together
again. l found on our reunion that
Alice was engaged. She received me
with the same old affection, but the
idea at once took possession of me
that although l was her girl chum l
had been reduced from first to q sec
ond place in her heart.
| | was not long in communicating this
idea to Alice. Instead of denying its
correctness, she seemed thoughtful,
but indisposed to talk about it. When
l asked her If either her lover or
must be lost to her which would she
| relinquiSh, she admitted that she
would give me up for him.
you shall meet him, Gwen" she
said to me, "and when you have be-
come acquainted with him I am sure
you will admit that were you and I to
change places you would give me up
instead Of him In case you must lose
one or the other"
"Why, Alice" I demonstrated, chow
could do that without being In love
with him?'
Never mind that" was her reply,
ana this was all could get out Of her
on the subject
Alice not only introduced me to her
1ance, Robert Willmarth, but left me
alone with him great deal. The first
time met him it did not seem to me
that there would ever be anything in
common between him and me. He was
serious man, while / preferred one
Of lighter vein. He was steady as the
rock Of Gibraltar. My beau ideal Of a
companion was q man Of mirth.
The second time saw Mr.. Willmarth
he appeared very different to me. His
gravity had given place to levity, but
levity behind which seemed to lurk
something, the exact nature OF which
he did not care to reveal. At our first
meeting Alice was present most Of the
time. At our second, he called upon
me without her. While In the first In
stance ! dreaded to have Alice leave

Your Own Carer.

me- alone with him, lest I would not
know how to entertain him in the Sec
ond we were in complete rapport.
/ asked him what had occasioned
the change in him. He laughingly de
clared that the presence OF his fiancel
while he was with any other woman
threw him on his beam ends, as he ex,
pressed it, If any one else had said
this l would have taken warning, but
he said it loosely, and not as if he
were endeavoring to establish a rela
ton with me in opposition to Alice.
Nevertheless, noticed that whenever
Alice was present at our meeting he
was the same reserved man he had
been when I first met him, and we
were as far distant from each other
as ever. Certainly Alice had been mis-
taken in saying that if l knew him
and had to choose between her and
him, would choose him. Not that
there was any repulsiOn between US; it
was simply that there was nothing to
draw us together.
Alice told me one day that she was
obliged to go away for awhile snd
charged me to take care" as she ex-
pressed it, of her fiance. 81 rely upon
yOu," she added, ito see to it that no
designing girl gets him away from
me-"
Now, not like this bit, for, as
have said, Mr.. Willmarth when free
from her presence was very attractive
to me, and / did not consider myself a
very safe person for her to leave him
with. Not that believed myself capa-
BILE of taking him away from her, but
did not relish the temptation. How
ever, 1 promised her that 1 would do
my best for her interest, and with that
she left me, apparently perfectly salts
fed that would keep my word.
When Alice returned I dreaded to
meet her. Mr.. Willmarth had not
scrupled to make love to me, and had
not the strength to break away from
him. While my conscience stung me,
his did not seem to trouble him at all.
There was ever present with him that
devil-may y-cGre bearing, a disposition to
consider the matter as something
amusing, which he had shown from
the first. On the evening before Alice's
return / was with him and, noticing
his freedom from consciousness Of
guilt, an idea occurred to me.
81 believe" said to him, that this
is conspiracy between you and Alice
to prove what she once said to me-
that If I were called upon to choose
between you and her I would choose
you"
He burst into laugh. and was sure
I had guessed right, though he denied
my hypothesis In toto.
II Will admit" he said, ''that q game
has been played. Alice will be with US
tomorrow, and she will explain"
The next evening Mr.. Willmarth
called and was followed by Alice and
himself. There were two Willmarths,
twin brothers, Bob and Alec Aice's
aance was Bob.

~COUNCL OF THENATIONAL
DEFENSE MEETS"

There was an interesting meeting
held at the City Hall Wednesday af-
ternoon, attended by many ladies OF
the city, who are interesting them
selves in the permanent organi-
zation of a Woman's Committee
Council of National Defense Unit in
this city and parish. Mrs. Jos. Dyer,
temporary Chairman, presided at the
meeting and Mrs. Albert Storm, who
il a member Of the State Division,
addressed the meeting. The plan Of
the proposed organization merely
links together in complete working
cooperation existing organizations
Of women. The women's committee
of status and cities are designed to
be a federation Of all organizations
of women. There may be women,
however, who are not members Of
any organization represented in
this committee. The primary object
being to coordinate and make ef-
fective the patriotic service of as
many women as possible. The depart
ments may add individuals member
ship. Clubs, church societies, and
groups Of various kinds may affili-
ate directly with department with
whose work they wish to cooperate.
The object Of the plan of organi-
zation proposed is to coordinate
women's organizations and their
working forces in order to enlist at
once the greatest possible number
in the service which the national
crisis demands. It is also most de-
sirable that no defense work of any
kind already done shall be lost. Each
of the States Divisions will be ex-
pected to investigate the work under
way and so to coordinate activities
- to eliminate duplication and over
tapping. Each state and city will
find problems peculiar to itself, but
the good judgment of all women in
charge Of organized work will so
clearly realize the Importance of uni
fication that the solution will be
readily found. The main thing that
should be remembered, is that the
Women's Committee Of the Council
Of National Defense desires to con-
serve everything useful in the way
Of work and organization and ad-
vises Capitalization in the interest
Of higher efficiency. At the meeting
Wednesday which was well attended,
the matter Of election Of officers for
she permanent organization was de-
ferred until the next regular meet
ing which is to be held on next We'd
nesday, July 18th, when officers and
members Of other organizations in
the city will be invited to be present.
The meeting Wednesday, was of an
enthusiastic character, and gave
promise to a large membership of
the Unit.

SHEEP RETURN GOOD PROFIT
More Profitable Than Any Other Class
Of Live Stock, Says instructor At
Kansas College.

"Sheep will return q greater profit
for each dollar invested than any other
class OF live stock" in the opinion OF
A. NJ. Paterson. instructor in animal
husbandry In the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college. For this reason farm
ers should give more attention to the
sheep industry.
"None Of the disadvantages, the most
important Of which are dogs, parasites
and disease, should discourage the
Cock MASTER" said Mr.. Paterson.
"Proper care and management will con-
troll and largely eliminate these trou-
bles. The flock that has to rustic for
itself is the one that is hit the hardest
by pests. With q little feed and atten-
don the sheep will be in more health
