Martha Elizabeth Flippen

Martha Elizabeth Flppen
| The funeral service for this little
one was held from the residence of
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. F.
Flippen, Sunday afternoon, Rev. Mr..
Hardin being the officiating minister.
| The service was very simple and
quiet one. Many beautiful flowers
testified the sympathy of friends.
| This little one was sunbeam of joy
and hope in the lives she came to
bless for even so short a season Her
mission was to win the love and
lprayers of those to whom she endear-
ed herself and when God whispered
she went back to her home beyond
! the stars, bearing the hearts and
thoughts that had become entwined
about her here, that where she abides
they may be also. This fair bud was
too fragile for earth's gardens, so was
plucked to blossom in heaven, and
there it's fragrance and purity watts
us upward. Nor let US grieve, since
He hath said, "Suffer little children to
icome unto me, and forbid them not;
for of such is the kingdom of heaven"
Still our hearts go out in sympathy
Ito those left lone and sad, but human
sympathy cannot sustain them in
their sorrow, and we can only COM
mend them to the tender care of the
loving Father, who has promised to
comfort those who mourn.

MAKING THIS A
CHILDREN'S WAR

Not since the historic Children's
Crusade have the children played
such an active and important part
in any war as they are doing in the
one today. They are making Red
Cross supplies, planting gardens,
and helping very materially in the
nationwide campaign to save food
for the soldiers, sailors and the
Allies.
In the interest of food saving the
public school children of various
states in the Union have made
many posters and cartoons, and
have written essays on food con-
servation. In the State of Wash.
ingtOn the essays have been distrib-
nted to wOman's clubs throughout
the state. and have formed an in
teresting contribution to the con-
servation propaganda which most
of these clubs are now conducting.
The following sugar essay is a
sample Of the work done there. 1t
was written by a schoolgirl in
Chewelah. Washington.
HELP WIN THE WAR.
Remember this in your coffee:
"One lump of sugar is patriotism.
two is slackerism, three is deser-
ton. and four is treason.
I'VE are at war with Germany,
and must win. 1t is the duty of
every patriotic American citizen to
save sugar.
"Our boys in khaki and the Allies
are fighting on the cold, wet battle
fields of France and need sugar
Sugar gives heat to the body. To
our soldiers sugar is necessity.
With plenty of it our soldiers will
be better able to fight and conquer.
I'VE at home can save sugar by
substituting glucose, syrups, and
honey. Honey is more expensive
than sugar, but it should be our
purpose to save sugar no matter
what the substitutes cost Cakes
should not be made very often.
When they are made they need not
be frosted

Women in the Business World

Now since so many men have
been called into service by their
country, many positions are opened
to women that were heretofore ia
booed. For the girl OF woman who
has originality, newspaper work is
a fine thing. The girl or woman
who takes up this line of work
should have good health and good
common sense. She should know
what will please the public. There
are many disappointments in con-
nection with this work though. If
the article written is not pleasing
or interesting it is thrown away.
There is also a great deal of hard
work connected with this business
and the salaries are small. The re-
porters on the large papers are paid
from SIS to $50 per week, but
women reporters seldom reach the
$50 mark A woman's clothes for
this type of work should be simple,
but of good material.
Nowadays many women prac-
tice medicine. In fact there is a
great demand for women doctors.
Nearly all the medical schools are
open to women. There has also
been a demand for women dentists
and many schools of dentistry are
open to them. Then too there has
been a demand for women pharma.
cists and mathematicianS, printers
and architects.
Since President Buchanans' ad
miniStratiOn. women have been en-
ployed as clerks in Governmental
Offices. They have been found
more efficient than men in detect
ing counterfeit and in handling mu
tilated money. Typists and book
keepers are always in demand.
Since the establishment of Kin
dergartens in all the public schols
there has been a demand for teach
ers and for the girl who cares fol
children there is no kind of wori
that is more desirable. This is
very important work as it in way

accustomed to school ways and be
cause of this are more easily con
trolled in the in the other grades
Children who have kindergarten
training also seem to get along fast
er in school. Private kindergar
tens are money making undertak
ings.
Since the war began there are
many women who have the man
! agement OF farms. Most of these
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-05-18

women have shown themselves cap
able of farming. If a girl desires
to take up agriculture there are
schools throughout the country
that have special courses for ag-
riculture.
Poultry raising is also becoming
a fad with the American women.
There is great deal of money in
this work if it is properly managed.
For the woman with capital the
dairy business is a money making
enterprise, but if carried on in a
small scale the profits will not be
very great.

You Should Have a Garden

This spring every one should be
considering the garden question. On
the farm there is never spring
but that the farmers prepare for q
large garden harvest. But some
people in town who have only back
yards for their gardens, before now
have thought it not worth their
while to have SO small garden.
For every one to have gardens is
especially necessary in war times.
Think of the money people in
town spend for vegetables, which
could 60 for Liberty bonds or Red
Cross or some help in the war.
Those vegetables might just as well
have come out of their own back
yard.
Plants are high and | think il
everyone would buy seeds and grow
his own plants it would be much
cheaper
OF course back yard gardens are
rather small. but one way to econ
Omize in space is not to SOW seeds
such as lettuce or radishes all at
once. Sow a few now and later
SOW some more, use the vegetables
from the seeds soWed first and put
something in it's place.
OF course some people who live
in flats have no yards for gardens.
If it is impossible for them to rent
a vacant lot, the ones who have gar
dens do not have to buy and so
what they would buy would be on
the market for some one else.

A NIGHT SPENT ALONE

one nlgnt Wnlie l was attending
my club we fell to talking about
ghosts and haunted houses After
we had all told all the gruesome
stories we could command, one
young man who had heretofore re-
manned quiet, offered to wager five
pounds that no one there was brave
enough to stay in certain house
that he knew about. Immediately
covered his wager.
The house was located in the
middle of dense forest and. SO the
story goes, it had once belonged to
young man who had used 1t for
a hunting lodge. He and his bride
had gone there and neither had
ever been seen again. Hunters said
that stronge cries could be heard
around the house.
The next morning according to
my agreement | started for the
house. | took with me stout walk
ing stick and a pair of pistols be-
cause | intended to take no play
from the ghosts. 1t was toward
night when | arrived at my destina-
ton and when | saw what a desc
late looking place it was. | repent
ed of my bargain. Summoning all
my courage | entered the house
and soon had a fire roaring in the
crate. After eating my supper my
spirits rose and, lighting my pipe,
l decided to walk around the
grounds. AS I saw nothing alarm
ing. l decided to go to bed.
About midnight | was awakened
by a frightful noise and binding
light. | laid still as my limbs felt
as though they were paralized
Again and again came that awe-in
spring noise and the light. At last
l could bear it no longer and
springing up, lighted light. The
noise came from a room in another
part of the house and SO clingine
to my pistol, l started in search OF
it. Upon entering the room l could
at first see nothing. At last saw
a small dark object in one corner
and. upon investigation, it proved
to be forlorn screech owl. l then
decided to find what caused the
light. Upon going to the window
found that storm had been rag
ing and in my excitement had moi
noticed it. The light was. of course
caused by the lightning l was
much relieved and went back t
bed and slept soundly until morn
ing
l promised myself that that
would be the last time that | woulG
stay all night in supposedly haunt
ed houses.

WOMEN OF
CHICKASHA
SLACKERS?
Few Faithful Red Cross Workers Ask
Question; State Of Apathy Evidenced
In This City

Are the women of Chickasha slack
ers? This is the question that the
few faithful workers at Red Cross
headquarters are asking one another
For the past month state of apathy
has seemed to exist among the wo-
men in Chickasha,, always excepting
the faithful few, regarding Red Cross
work, A visitor from a city much
smaller than Chickasha was amazed
at the few workers in the Red Cross
rooms. "In our work rooms" she
said, zone can scarcely walk, it is Sc
crowded. Work is being done, it is
true, but the majority of it can be
credited to the efforts of the county
auxiliaries. Day after day half or all
of the machines in the chapter work
rooms are idle. The output of surgi-
cal dressings is far below the hopes
and expectations of those in charge
In speaking of the situation one of
the local instructors said:
"The Indifference of the women of
Chickasha is appalling With condi-
tions more critical and the need
greater than at any time since the
beginning of the war, their actions
are inexplicable to those who deeply
feel their country's need. When ask

to work all have some excuse. Many
say they are too busy but they do
not realize that the one big business
before us as a nation and as individ
uals, is to win this war. If we do
not we will have. no homes to keep
nor any men for whom to keep them.
"Others have small children, whom
they say cannot leave. To those we
would like to say, there is much
work which can be taken home, not
only the garments, but the muslin
dressings in the surgical dressings
department. Others stay away on va
rious pretexts, forgetting that before
the war they managed to find time
to attend bridge parties. club or lodge
meetings several times a week
Chiekasha has indeed drawn the line
at social frivollties but that is do
ing US little good if we do not en-
ploy the time saved to advantage.
This work must be done. and if we
do not have enough volunteer work
ers, we will have to take steps to
conscript our women"

Daughter of President
Pays Chickasha a Visit
Enroute to Camp Do11ipha1

Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter
of her distinguished father, was ar
early morning visitor in Chickasha
but Chickasha didn't see her and she
didn't have the great privilege of
seeing the wonders of the best and

The reason was that the curtains of
the drawing room of the Pullman
car were never raised. 1t was at a
late hour last night when Miss VIII
