n-PA HELPS IN HOME WORK
Pa said he feared | was q fallin back
At helpin me in homework. Now" says he,
In Mathematics you are only C.
l think you ought to keep right up to e,
And as that stuff was always pie for me.
Just bring your book and let me help you ts>ft"
You bet fetched it for him in minute,
And I says Father, here's plain equation.
The teacher says, in simple mensuration':-
"A horse sixteen hands high just fits a stall
In length nine feet, four inches over all.
Suppose the quadruped becomes biped
What volume has paralellopped
Whose altitude conceals the horsl from view?"
Well pa. he almost turn ed red white-and-blue.
He says, For cats sake! let me have a look"
And then he sat a-starin' at the book =,
And turning back the pages more and more.
Way back to almost two-tmes-twoare- four.
And then he hit the book whack and said,
81 wish this page was that fool fellows head
Who wrote this blim-blam bloomin' 'rithmetic.
I'd knock some sense into him pretty quick"
just kept still until along about
The time he wore his second pencil out,
When he says, well. Here it isl and says "No;
This part you work by inverse ratio
And that part there can't be the way it's meant;
This antecedent should be consequent"
And pa says shut your Jaw, or when you speak
Say things to pe in English, not in Greek"
Well then he worked again until said
You've got to let that poor child get to bed"
And so went, but pa stuck there till One
And then he didn't get the lesson done.
I'll have to hand it to him tho. He's game.
And when next night got my books, he
And said, well, what's our lesson for today?"
But says, PA, you better keep away
Cause told teacher how you helped, you see,
And she said that was mighty nice for me-
But she supposed my home work my own
And maybe I'd better work 1t out alone!"

$4,000 Worth

Tacoma school kids can show us grownups few
fhings about this winning the-war business. And
they haven't nearly as much to say about how it
should be done either. They just go ahead and do
it.
Reports today show that the total War Thrift
Stamp sales in Tacoma schools has reached more
than $4,000. Can anybody beat that records
The honors go not only to the aggressive boys and
girls who have made that record, but also to the
teachers and principals who have directed their eff
forts.
Remember how cheap it made some of us feel last
season when we looked at war garden results pro-
duced by these same school kids and compared
them with our Own2
This is children's war-a war to save the
grownups of tomorrow-and they are doing their
part to win it.

Bully for This judge

A Spokane police judge announces that he will
gail all speeders, hereafter.
Speeding is dangerous and should be harshly
dealt with. A lot of good fellows speed-your next
door neighbor and ours. We like them and know
how irresistible is the impulse to step the gas
pedal. But speeding begets quick death-death of
children at play death of Neighbor JONES' death of
your own breadwinner!
Goodfellows cars when speeding, kill as quickly
as others.
Speeders should be jailed. We hope the Spokane
Judge sticks to his decision, and would call his
very excellent example to the attention of our Ia
coma justices.

ona Of q series Of Official films of the

ricultural clubs, how to raise better
pigs, and the methods used by club
members In carrying out instructions.
The first pig club was organized in
Louisiana in 1910. Now approximate

Best Methods TO Be Shown.
The first lesson taught in the film
story is that 1t costs no more to feed
and care for the pig Of carefully &C.
lected stock than the scrub, while the
results In meat produced is greatly in
favor Of the well-bred animal. The
picture shows further how to feed and
care for the pigs, how to protect them
