JOIN THE RANKS

More than a MILLION true blooded
Americans have already given up their
positions to go to France and Flanders to
do our fighting.
The work originally done by these men
must now be done by women or those
not qualified for military service. Every
one must redouble his efforts and even
work overtime in order to keep business
going and win the war.
ARE YOU DOING YOUR PART?
"A thorough training such as is given
at the TULSA BUSINESS COLLEGE
will enable you to fill position of great
er responsibility and at the same time
earn larger salary.
If you will but give us an opportunity
to train you to write Shorthand, do Book
keeping, operate an Adding Machine,

ORIGIN OF COUNTRY FAIR
Its Establishment Can Be Clearly
Traced to IN Ancient Religious
Custom.

The country fair owes its origin to
an ancient religious custom In early
days, when Engiismen observed saints
days, q crowd Of worshipers and pill
grims would assemble within the pre-
eincts of the church or abbey during
the festival Of a popular saint. To
supply the wants Of the throng. tents
were pitched. and stalls for provisions
set up In the churchyard. Peddlers
and traders found many customers
among the worshipers, and In course
Of time these pious assemblies became
marts Of trade, and were known a.
fairs"
Many odd customs associated with
fairs illustrate the social life Of other
days. The opening Of fairs In many
towns was announced by holsting
large glove In q conspicuous place. In
the event Of q law f0rbldding the hold
ing Of fair without royal permission,
the king would send his glove to the
town as a token Of his consent

Birds and Animals Pretend

Small birds chase each other about

the crane and the trumpeter Is the
most extraordinary. The latter stnnds

centric manner and throws somer-

on account Of its singularities. Water
birds, such as ducks and geese, dive
after each other and clear the surface
Of the water with outstretched neck
and tapping wings. throwing abundant
spray around
Deer often engnge In a TRIAL Of
strength by twisting their horns to-
gether and pushing for the mastery.
All animals pretending violence In
their play stop short Of exercising Ii /;
the dog takes the greatest precaution
not to inture by his bite. and the
orangutang- in wrestling with his
keeper, pretends TO throw him, and
makes feints Of biting him. Some ami
mails carry out In their play q sem
blance Of catching their prey; young
cats. for instance. leap after every
small and moving object. even to
leaves strewn by the autumn wind
They crouch and steal forward. ready
for the spring; with the body CULVER

Never before in the history Of Quinn
Chapel has its membership been 80
wrought up as upon the removal of DR..
J. C. Anderson from the pastorate Of
that Church, at the recent session Of the

The sinister influence that has dom
mated the churches in this section,
caused widespread disapproval, not only
among the membership of Quinn Chapel,
but in all the churches Of the district;
and also because Of the universal de-
mand for the return of the retiring pas
tor, whose record as q fnahcier in the

whose splendid, stalwart Christian
character had endeared him to all

spite of difficulties and obstacles held
unfalteringly to q course Of upright

Nature Study.


In the study Of nature do not Try to
teach too much In one lesson. Notice
first the Characteristic features and
qualities Of whatever Is under discus
sion; let the child examine the object
II possible; remember that children
are more interested In what things do
than In their form.
Let the child examine q little plant,
seed and an. Lead him to observe
that It does something. II pushes its
roots and its stem up; Il eats and
drinks, breathes, sleeps and wakes. It
makes things. Leaves and flowers,
seed and fruits. Incidentally, notice
the form and color that these actiyi-
ties give to each individual plant.
Nature study need not be dull or dif-
1cult; It provides plenty Of life and &C
tion- It is mostly our own interest
that Is dead, or our senses that need
quickening.
Grasp q few fundamental principles
and nature study In the home, In the
kindergarten and In the school, win be-
come the children's delight, the teach
er's friend, and occupation for the
nursery to help start the youngsters
In busy work, q daily delight when
