For Heavens sake, can't you chill

You've almost made me distracted!
You Johnnie, quit making a noise
like steam engine! Tommie, If you
beat that drum another time I'll box
your ears.
"No, jamie, you can't wear your
white dress this afternoon. You've
got to save that for Sunday. Now
hush that. I won'tjhave you scream
ing over little thing like that.
Johnnie, quit pulling Lucy's hair.
You shouldn't treat your little sister
that way, and if you don't stop being
so bad I'll tell your father when he
comes home tonight.
"S-s-sh-sh, now you've walked the
baby, and you know he's fretful be-
cause he's teething, and with this
heat, and I've just spent an hour in
getting him to sleep.
mo Johnnie, you can't use the
table cover to make an Indian tent,

last time you did 1t, you tore a hole
in the leather cushions playing a

THE HONEYMOON HOUSE
By Hazel Dale

I penses. Janet thought that part of
| it no more than fair, and when she
left the office she had engaged a
bright young girl who had grinnned
broadly at Janet's short interview
She had promised to begin work lm-
mediately, and was to come every
mornings get breakfast and the other
meals, and keep the little apartment
clean.
Janet expected to be busy enter
tanning people for awhile. AS she
said to Jarvis, they could pay pack
and she did want people to come and
see their darling place and the way
they lived.
well, I've got a mind" She an
nounced, bursting dramatically into
the sunlit studio. Then she stopped.
Jarvis was not alone, slim young
girl sat back in u corner of the
davenport and she smiled as Janet
entered. Jarvis jumped UP quickly
and came over to her but, strange
as it was, Janet could not help cold
little feeling from closing around her
heart.
A Foolish Idea.
How foolish she was it was per-
fectly all right for Jarvis to have a
girl here talking with her, hadn't she
resolved to look at the thing broadly
hadn't she, of her own accord, come
into Jarvis's life and manner of liv-
ing, where conventions were not mar
row, and where men and women were
just good friends?
And. most of ALL hadn't she prom
ised to trust Jarvis? She didn't
want to feel as she did, but she avoid
ed Jarvis kiss. Anyway, she argued,
she didn't want q demonstration be-
fore this girl.
"Please don't mind me- the girl
called out, 81 know you haven't been
married long"
And Jarvis drew Janet forward
and said laughingly:
Janet. L want you to meet Neva
Hart. She poses for the boys, and
we have known each other for a long
time"
Janet tried valiantly to throw off
the feeling that she had and to ap-
pear natural, and she succeeded after
a few minutes. Neva Hart was SO
big and sincere in her views, she
treated Jarvis so impersonally, she
evidently thought nothing at all of
dropping into the studio for friend
ly chat. Janet felt all this after she
had heard the girl talk for few
minutes.
I'VE have all been dying to meet
you," Neva said, scrutinizing Janet
closely. And l shall tell everyone
that Jarvis picked a winner" She
finished and Janet felt a warm little
feeling of friendship for this girl steal
over her in spite of herself.

Janet had gone down to the intel
ligence Office to interview maid. She
was so happy and contented these
days that it hardly seemed as If it
could possibly last, but it was q fact
that at times she had difficulty in re-
training from singing a few notes
while she was walking, or from skip
ping few steps instead of pacing Sc
dately as a newly married young wo-
man should do.
She and Jarvis were so perfectly
suited they ought never to have any
differences, she thought happily.
Janet did not know that two people
of the temperament that she and
Jarvis possessed could not possibly
avoid differences at times. 1t was
just that nothing of outside interest
had happened to obtrude itself.
Janet had done three articles for
the new serial and they had been
very much liked. One of them had
appeared, and Janet had bought six
copies of the Chronicle and had
gloated over her work until Jarvis
had poked all manner of fun at her.
II don't care" she had returned.
Il am so proud of myself that l just
can't believe it possible"
And Jarvis had kissed her soft
throat where the bright hair ended,
and had said that she couldn't be as
proud of herself as he was of her,
and it had all been very sweet. Janet
had seen nothing more of Mr.. Reese,
but Mr.. Deering, one of the associate
editors, had received her work, Of
fered her kindly criticism and praised
judiciously. Janet felt that she would
like him very much.
A Successful Visit.
Her second interview at the paper
had been memorable She had asked
naively what she would be paid, and
MIR. Deering had answered that they
would put her on a regular salary,
unless she preferred to be paid at
space rates.
You see." he explained, "it will be
easier to mail you a check, and you
will be considered a member of the
staff
Then he had asked her name, and
Janet had told him. Janet Carew
Moore-Mrs. Moore" she added
prettily.
Janet blushed furiously as she met
the quizzical eyes over the glasses.
Il suppose" she said to herself
that he can tell from my appear
ance that L have been married two
weeks"
Your salary will be $40 to start
Is that satisfactory" And Janet. to
whom the thought of $40 weekly
earned by herself seemed wealth un-
dreamed of, smiled and thanked him
And so they had decided to have a
maid and they were to divide the ex-

Arkansas Wins Again

Sixty two counties have made appropriations to help pay the salaries of 128 county agents, home demonstration agents and negro agents. As a result this state still leads all others in the number employed in the work for better agriculture. This stamp of approval put upon the work of the Agricultural Exten- sion Division of the University of Arkansas, led by w. c. Las setter, Director, shows that our people were alive to their oppor- tunity and willing to do their share to help develop the work as made possible by the recent increased Federal appropriations.
 It also shows that onr people recognize the value of scientific methods in farming and the business men are to be congrat- ulated for their foresight in realizing what the work will do for increased production and what increased production will do for better business. They have backed up their judgment by boosting the work and have demonstrated their sincerely by being willing to bear their share of the taxes to support the work.

His many friends here were glad to see him and re- gret that he could not get here in time to fill his engagement.
 In Mir. Caraway, the First Congressional District is ably represented in Congress and the gentleman ranks with the lead CTS at our Capitol. We have never seen a representative of a people who tries more earnest ly than does MT.

He left this afternoon for Cotton Plant for a short visit to friends there.

as a means to bring about a reg ular attendance, and also to en- courage faithful school work by making these two points a pre- requisite to play on the team. In my own experience, I have known several boys who had given up the idea of finishing school, but through the instru- mentality of football they were caused to re-enter school and thus the whole career of their lives was changed, a life of dis grace was changed into a life of usefulness. l would not at tempt to thrust my opinion upon any one, but on the contrary have the highest regard for your objections to this game and un- der no circumstances shall 1 dis regard the opinion of any one in this matter. The school is yours and we are the servants of the school and thus it becomes our duty to regard your opinion. We hope these few words will serve to establish a proper un- derstanding between patrons and teachers. Any parent objecting to his son playing has only to notify the principle, and such objection will be highly respect ed. In conclusion we wish to appeal to every patron of the school to consider how import, ant a factor in the development of real men is a properly super. vised system of football.

ters more than any other game by giving them a proper per- spectiye of the rights and priv ileges of individuals.
 4th. It demands clean minds and bodies when the game is properly supervised.
 9th. It is an incentive to good class work for no boy can play who falls below the passing grade in his school work.
 9th. Football is next to mill tary training in the development of discipline.
 Our country needs real men who are strong physically, men, tally and morally. My observa- tion during my college and un- iversity life has conclusively convinced me that the men who take the most active part in foot ball are the same men who are making unquestioned success in the various pursuits of life. Statistics will show that the ma jority of the men who are now serving Uncle Sam most efficient ly, the commissioned officers, were formerly college football stars. During the strenuous foot ball gruelling, which was abso- lutely essential to success on the gridiron, these men acquired the virtues of leaders, self-control, cleanliness, durability, and re- spect for authority. They for ever cast away the idea of false propriety that it is disgraceful to have soiled hands, and every fiber of their makeup was dedi- cated to that principle which makes men succeed. The spirit of ''grit" and stamina was so grounded into their being that failure became an unknown quantity. The principle of Init ting hard" was so forcefully fixed in them that it was applied to every college activity, In the class room, the football man usually took first rank, and in every activity the cardinal prin- ciples of football were never found wanting.
 We desire to make men of the youths of our schools, men who are not afraid to work, men who live lives of service, and since this popular game has so many advantages over the less stren- uous games, we recommend most heartily that football should be encouraged in all high schools.
 To be true, football is not good for the weakljng, but for the stalwart lad who has a surplus of energy, nothing is better.
 The teacher may use football

that confronts every public school teacher. It goes without saving that some form of play must be devised in order that the energetic boys and girls may give physical expression to their surplus energy. Whatever form of exercise used by our public schools demands constant super vision by the teachers in order that the exercise may be clean and wholesome in every respect and in order that the exercise may serve the purpose for which it is instituted, namely, to devel- op the physique of the students and to socialize them, and thus prepare them for real citizen ship. There are many forms of exercise which may be used, but in choosing what to use, it seems almost imperative that the choice of the students themselves must be considered. I shall attempt to show you how important it is to consider the feelings of the students in this selection.
 In every town that football is used, we always find some who object to the game on the ground that it is too dangerous and brd- tai in it's nature. Football is the REAL GAME for REAL BOYS and 1 am personally much in favor of it's use. At the same time I would not trample under foot the objections which some of our very best citizens have to this popular American game. Neith- CT would 1 encourage any boy to participate in footballif his parent or guardian objected to his play ing, in fact, I would not permit his playing at all if such object ions are officially given to me. It is a sacred privilege for any  one to object, and I feel it my personal duty to have the high est regard for that objection.
 In defense of this great game for boys 1 wish to present a few points of argument. 1 believe that football should be played in every school. and that every nor mai lad should be encouraged to take an active part in the game. The reasons follow:
 lst. Football appeals to the vigorous youths of the school thus serving as an incentive to regular attendance.
 End. It gives mental as we'll as physical training for no one can make a successful player Who does not concentrate his at tentlon on the complicated sig nals of the game.

Red Cross Creates
Bureau to Organize
All Women of U.S..
Miss Florence M. Marshall and
Mrs. w. K. Draper to
Head New Department

Washington. June 16.-To organize
non-professional women 10 aid in relief
work, the Red Cross war council has
created a woman's bureau and has ap-
pointed national advisory committee
Of women, which will endeavor to en-
list every available woman in the cam.
psign for adequate funds and supplies.
The new bureau will be in charge Of
Miss Florence NJ. Marshall. of the Man
haitian Trade School, who will come to
Washington and open a permanent Of
fee about July I. Mrs. W. X. Draper,
prominent in Red Cross work in New
York City, will head the advisory com
mittee.
1.-THE Red Cross war council said
Chairman Dawson, in announcing the
step, sis moved by a sense of very deep
obligation TO the women of America
for their generous response to the call
of the Red Cross. That response, as
measured in the daily increase in the
ranks of volunteer workers, has been
unsurpassed.
ITO recognize this warm response,
as we'll as to supply the leadership
for the days of trial before us, is the
purpose Of this new organization. Its
work will be to stimulate women
everywhere in the great tasks ahead.
Especially, the bureau will seek TO
guide and encourage the women IN
smaller towns and in the country.
These women. working in their home
or in local groups, frequently are not
in touch with chapter workrooms and
organized branches of Red Cross activ-
ity. Yet their work is vital at this
time, when every bandage. every hos
pital garment and every kind of sup
plies is needed for the relief of world
wide sufferings."
On the advisory committee with Mrs.
Draper are Miss Mary Goodwillie of
Baltimore, vice chairman; Miss Mabel
