cepted, thoughtless, popular way
Of seeking pleasure. Many a girl
has learned by sad experience that
an earnest John would have made
n better husband than the shall
lower man she chose.
But these are the times which
arouse even the careless to a
sense Of Iife's realities and respOn-
sibilities. This feeling came to
you on the occasion Of the ball.
1t will come, sooner or later, 10

deeper than any habit OF life, any

Of others to fight for the honor

Tuscania

Till their piracy is Tended,
Till their lunacy is ended,
Till their leprosy is mended,
There is just one thing to do;
We have passed all why and whether,
And with faces toward the weather;
Each for all and all together,
There is no way out but thru.
Till the Prussian sword is shattered,
Till the Prussian horde is scattered,
Till the Plussian flag is tattered
And it's shameful cause is curst,
Till they learn there is no laurel
For nation all immoral,
We shall carry on the quarrel,
Come the best or come the worst.
Till their counterfeited "Culture,"
With it's ethics of vulture
Finds deep and dark sepulchre
With no resurrection dawn,
Till this cruel kite is kited,
Till his blighting beak is blighted,
Till his frightfulness is frighted,
Forward still! and "carry on!'
Forward still to win the Vision,
Forward to the Great Decision
Which shall blast the last derision
Of the Prussian citadel,
Till the PIussian Crest is crumbled,
Till the Prussian head is humbled,
And the Prussian creed is mumbled
Only in the deeps of hell.

THE ARNlOR OF A
SENSE OF HUMOR


Somewhere I saw the other day
very true statement about love
or love affairs. 1t should apply
to love on both sides Of that d.
viding line, matrimony, which
some authorities claim separates
"love with a thrill" from love
glowing still.
The statement was that the
most important thing you need in
a love affair is a sense of humOr.
Funny, isn't it, little book, how
many snags in the river Of life
we are protected against IL we
have a sense of humor!
OF course 1t is true that ability
to laugh at ourselves will see us
thru many difficulties. But few
! women find in any phase Of love
a mirth-provoking joke. They
take love so seriously. That Is
my failing, but 1t Is one / am be-
ing trained to overcome by the
spasmodic changes in the temper
of Dicks love for me.
Sometimes l am quite encour-
aged over my bump of humor. I
was last night.
The stage had been set for the
third act of the drama of marital

the happy ending. Sweet, forgiv-
ing wife in clinging gown of

A tangle of arms, a long en-
brace. Curtain.
That was the way-well, some
thing like that-was how l pic
tured the scene Of making up
with Dick. How different it was
actually!
There was I waiting by the fire.
side all dressed up, feeling so
self-satisfied and patronizing.
The table was set with my best
china and linen, and l had Or
dered for dinner most of the good
things that Dick loved.
The telephone rang. In his
merriest voice Dick chirped,
"Hello, Marge"-I quaked at
that, he so seldom chopped my
name in two-"I've got myself
tangled up in a lot of horrible
figures. l thought I'd bring
Miles, the auditor, home with me
and we'd go over things after din
ner. Is it all right, dear?"
"You know it is, Dick" said.
"Ill order dinner served at seven.
Goodbye"
| hung up the receiver and
turned away with the tears ready
to overflow onto my pink pow
dered cheeks. Then changed
my mind and laughed.
Poor silly female, I am" I
said to myself. why should I
fragile my nerves over a thing
that Dick forgets almost as soon
as it happens?"
| l removed some of the too fes-
tive traces of my party from the
ldinner table, hurried upstairs
and changed my fluffy frock to a
rather passe dinner gown. Then
II sat down to read the evening
paper in a casual, cool frame of
mind.
When my spouse came to din
ner, with his loquacious auditor
in tow, I greeted him Indifferent
ly, with matter-of-fact smack, as
tho nothing had happened.
A sense of humor is good
thing to keep on tap, little book.

s25.oo REWARD.


 The Arkansas Association of Op- tometrists offer reward of $25.OO for the arrest and conviction of any, one practicing optomestry without a license. There is law requiring anyone desiring to practice optomes- try in Arkansas to pass state board examination and obtain license, the same as physician or a dentist. The optical profession has been dis graced by travelling fakers and graft CTS calling themselves doctors" and 'fleecing" the unsuspecting public, but the people can now protect them selves if they will. If anyone comes into your community fitting glasses demand to see their license, and if they cannot produce one have them arrested.
 If you will cooperate with me we will make Jackson county bad terri tory for these grafters.

Petticoats Are Marrow.

In tailored suits the narrowness of
the skirt has rung the knell of the pet
ticoat, but for thin frocks this most
feminine of garments necessarily holds
its own. The petticoat must be of the
same length as the frock under which
1t is worn, and 1t may be made of
batiste, fine nainsoOk, mousseline de
sole, tussor or white crepe de chine.
They are forcedly narrow, for fashion
has decreed the skimpiness of skirts.
1t is, however, quite permissfolC to full
them slightly, especially Il the dress
that covers them is sait at the hen to
make walking easier. With conserva-
tive delicate hand embroidery

an effect of greater flufiness and are

Now hat war times make the Gus

those that are more honored in the

Poultry House whitewasb.

Whitewash is the cheapest of all
paints, and may be used either for ex-
terior or interior surfaces. 1t can be
made by shaking about 10 pounds Of
quicklime in a pail with 2 gallons Of
water, covering the pail with cloth or
burlap, and allowing 1t to slake for one
hour. Water is then added to bring
the whitewash to a consistency which
may be applied readily. A weather.
proof whitewash for exterior surfaces
may be made as follows: ~ Stake 1
bushel Of Quicklime in 12 gallons of
hot water. (2) dissolve 2 pounds Of
common salt and 1 pound of sulphate
Of zinc in 2 gallons of boiling water;
pour (2) into (1), then add 2 gallons
of skim milk and mix thoroughly.
Whitewash is spread lightly over the
surface with a broad brush.

To obtain a maximum crop of strong,
vigorous lambs is n of the most Vi
tai phases Of the sffeep industry. 1t is
not only an important factor in assur-
ing increased profits to the sheep rails
ers~ themselves, but is a means of ma
terially increasing the nations supply
of two of the most important commodi-
ties, meat and wool, both of which are
necessary to the feeding and clothing
of the American soldiers and tho arm

Conservative Shoes for Fall.

Conservative colors and sensible
cuts, which are almost mannish in
their effect, are the features in shoes
for women for late fall business. job
bers report that retailers are now
looking for shoes of this sort, not only
from the desire to steer clear of doubt
full novelties, but because, in the bust
ness which they have already done
over the counter for fall, there has
been comparatively little demand for
anything else. Mahogany and dull
black calfskins are the most popular
in tailored walking boots, while in
shoes for more dressy wear black pat
ent feathers and a few shades of gray

vations on the growth of chickens at
the government poultry farm at Belts
vile, Nd, showed that the average
pullet upon reaching maturity weighed
as follows:
Average Age at which
Breed and weight at weight was
variety. maturity made
White Plymouth
Rock ..............6.N pounds IS weeks
White wyandotte. .5.17 pounds Is weeks
Rhode Island Red .44S pounds 20 weeks
White Leghorn ....3.14 pounds 26 weeks
Pullets of these breeds, and those of
corresponding types and weight that
reach the weights given in the table or
are very near them early in Septem-
Der, will begin laying by October if con-
ditions are favorable. Applying the
weight table for the purpose of Sc
lecting winter layers, it appears that,
for example, a Plymouth Rock pullet
that is five months old In the early
part of September should weigh not
less than four pounds. A Wyandotte or
Rhode Island Red should not weigh
less than three pounds, a Leghorn not
less than two pounds.
Many poultrykeepers who do not
mark their chicks when Matched and
let broods of different ages run to-
gether in the growing season cannot
tell the age Of a pullet with certainty
in the fall, and take 1t for granted that
the small birds are the later Matched.
This error leads to the holding Of
many pullets which, If their true age
were known, would be discarded for
winter layers.

greatly diminished in number. An
explanation is given that many thou
sands have been sacrificed in the mil
linery trade.

FEEDING TABLE SCRAPS

Table scraps and kitchen
waste r best prepared for
feeding by running them through
an ordinary meat grinder. AZ
ter the material has been put
through the grinder it is usually
a rather moist mass, and 1t is
well to mix with 1t some corn
meal. bran, or other ground
grain until the whole mass as
sumo a crumbly condition.
The usual method is to feed the
table scraps at noon or at
night, or at both times, as may
be desired, in a trough or ON a
board. All should be fed that
the hens will eat up clean, and
If any Of the material is left af-
ter one-hah or three-quarters
of an hour 1t should be removed.
If allowed to lie 1t may spoil
and would be very bad for the
hens.

Eat Noting Hens.

All hens molt in the fall and early
winter. During this melting season.
which usually takes about three
months, the hens lay few or no & z
1t is advisable, IL well-matured pullets
can be purchased at a reasonable price,
to kill and eat the hens as they begin
to mOlt, replacing the flock with new
ly purchased pullets. The hens should
not be killed, however, until they be-
gin to molt and their comb begins to
lose Its size. color and f1exibility, for
If these changes have not taken place
the hens will probably still be laying
and at a time of year when eggs are
especially valuable.
