ceeded in enrolling 136 COlored women.
boys and girls home makers and garden
club. Each promising to raise food to
help win the war.
The state department of education
will send an agent at the proper time
to assist the club members in canning
vegetables and general help around the
homes. The general education board,
thru Prof. Leo M. Favrot, will pay the
agents expenses, This will indeed be a
help to Welsh. 1t will help to save food
and will give our colored population a
much needed training in house keeping.
The person that counts today is the one
who knows how TO do. Any education
without a training of the hand and
heart along with the head, for people
who will make their living mostly with
their hands, is waste.

The independence of Women.

The war has made it possible and at
the same time necessary for an inCreaS'
ing MI s Der of women to become indie
pendent commercially, A large number
of excellent positions have been made
vacant by young men drafted, or Volun'
teering for military service. In most
cases, there are not available unem'
ployed men to ill these vacancies. In
addition to these openings, new de-
partments have been created in govern
ment work, requiring thousands of ad'
ditional employees, large per cent of
whom must necessarily be women
Under such conditions, Bny ambitious
young woman will win her indepen.
dence as surely as she will put forthtLe
effort.
The Call of the government is an ad.
ditional incentive for patriotic women
to come forward to do their part.
Women are just as necessary in large
numbers to carry on the work of the
war at home as are the men on the
fields of battle, Many a woman whose
husband or brother is in active service
has taken up work for the government
at home for his sake, as we'll as for her
| country'S sake. The women of America
have responded nobly to the urgent
call to help tighten the burden on Il e
men in the field.
The commercial schools of America
have never before received such enor.
nous patronage from the young ladies
as they are receiving now. CONNER.
cial education for women makes it pcs.
sible for them to render the assistance
expected of them. Get this commercial
training and let Uncle Sam decide where
he needs you most. He must have
stenographers, bookkeepers, telegraph
operators, typiStS and accountants in
great numbers, and it is left to the &C.
ton of the great multitude of young
women t. supply this need. Numbers
of Tyler Commercial college graduates
have gone directly into government
positions at Washington or elsewhere,
while others are working with the
boards in their home towns.
This has proven to be period OF
great awakening Women have pressed
forward forward in the field OF business
so that their services, offered to the
government at this time, are indeed
valuale' The only respect in which they
lack complete response is in numbers.

Joy riders and truck riders have
been having their share OF sport
lately. Nearly two weeks ago Frank
Floyd thought to make trip In com
pany with W. p. Graham over the
Oregon mountain. That was arrang-
ed and at O'Clock a. m. they start
ed and all went we'll until they
reached California when the truck
went wrong and they were left to
work their way home as best they
could. Floyd says they walked 40
miles, more or less. and finally
reached Patricks creek where they
found Grover Montgomery and by
his kindness they reached home
about 4 O'Clock a. m. the next day.
The truck, however, was still In Cal
ifornia ard thereby hangs another
tale. Graham and Sam Long pro-
cured Ford, went to Grants Pass
and secured the necessary repairs
for the truck and started to bring II
here They had gotten well on their
way when the Ford became i'll, when
after some doctoring they succeeded
In reaching Grants Pass again where
the Ford was repair and they then
started for California after the
truck. After about two nights and
day or so they arrived with the
truck and all now goes well except
a loss Of sleep which will be gradu-
ally overcome.
A party from Selma was out Joy
riding few evenings since and ran
off the road just as they were leay-
ing Kerby, and stopped Just In time
to avoid a damage suit for knock
ing down Frank Floyd's garden
fence. After some little maDeuver-
ing they rghted the car and were
on the way rejoicing. They thought
they were not discovered but some
sleepers within hearing distance
heard them and enjoyed the sport
also.
