A Broomstick Solo.

n broomSrek SOLO.
BY Alta Cumming, Age ii, st. Edward.
Neb.
Once there was little boy whose
name was Robert Burns Roberts
parents were very poor. They lived
in an old house. Robert was the
only child. He had to make most of
their living, for his father and
mother were getting too old to work
very much.
Robert had large garden to take
care OF in the SUMMER, and in the
winter he would shovel snow for a
living.
When Robert had a minute to
spare he would use his broomstick
for his musical instrument. Music
was natural for him and he loved to
sing.
One day he was playing on his
broomstick. which he used for his
violin. He began to sing very
loudly, which attracted his mother
very much for she did not know he
could sing so we'll. Roberts mother
told his father when he came from
work. They invited their neighbors
in to hear him that evening, aud he
entertained his friends for an hour.
They went home very happy. They
came back to hear him the next
week and brought him a violin. He
became a great musician.
The Little Pig and the Apple.
BY Fern sheldon. Age ii, North LOup Neb.
The little pig at Uncle Franks
farm was very comfortable most OF
the time. He had a strong, roomy
pen TO shelter him from heat and
storm and he had plenty to eat. Yet
every now and then it seemed to him
as If he must have an apple. And at
such times he would stand on hind
legs and look over the fence. up and
down this way and that, and squeal
and squeal for some one to bring
him an apple.
One day when he squealed and
squealed for an apple he heard foot
steps coming his wav. Trampl

But it was only Uncle Frank Las
tening to get in the hay before the
rain came. He had no time to hunt
far an apple for a hungry little pig.

With a squeal of disappointment,
the little pig began to squeal again,
for he felt as if he must have an
apple.
Then he heard the tiniest l.ttle
footsteps. Pitter patter! and down
the path came little Bobby, and what
do you think he had in his hand9
A big, round, red, juicy apple!
The little pig ate every bit of it,
core, seeds, all--and then he said:

DORSEY NOT OPPOSED
TO AN EXTRA SESSION
He Is To Hear Highway Legislation
And Special Session Advo-
Gates on February IS.

Governor Hugh M. Dorsey was ask
ed while in Macon yesterday about
the published reports to the effect
that he is opposed to a special ses-
sion of the Legislature which is being
agitated, it having been stated that
he said that there was no occasion
for a special session. Governor Dor
sey said that the report was not ac-
curate; that he is willing to be con-
WINGED that the extra session was
necessary, but so far nothing had
been brought to his attention which
gave him a conviction on the sub
ject.
Governor Dorsey said the special
committee appointed by the Legis-
lature to draft suitable and adequate
highway legislation is expected to re-
port on February %, and on that
date he will hear the highway and
special session advocates, and then
make his decision.

This faithful Santa Claus is never

year after year,~the kind heart, the
beautiful hands" keep up the beau
tiful deed. AS he goes to his daily
duties, not one of his co-laborers
knows that his day is begun with
the smile of heaven upon it, and the
thanks and comfort of an aged life.
God bless this man with the "beau-
tiful hands,! Mrs. L. T. Dews.
(The above appreciation reminds us
of a few lines we read years ago
from an unknown author-the words
having stuck in our head;
"The hand of the leader was rough
and red
And covered over with hair,
But the music it drew from the band
it led,
Charmed even the senseless air"

ADVERTISING

Advertising philosophy is usually
good philosophy. 1t is seldom, if
ever, that a poor argument is put
forth relative to the true value of
advertising. Here is the version Of
one writher on the subject:
at is susceptible of proof that
newspaper space may be profitablely
used to advertise commodities that
are used by only l per cent of the
readers of newspapers. So it seems
that there ought to be pretty good
chance for successful newspaper ad-
vertising of Commodities that are used
by 100 per cent of the readers of all
newspapers.
among such articles are foods.
"a good copy writer can write adj
vertising for palatable food products
that will make people banker for
them. Charles Dickens had a way of
describing a meal so that you could
smell it cooking. But you don't have
to get Dickens to write food copy,
it's easy to make people hungry. The
writer on food topics always has a
sympathetic clientele of readers"

LATE PARIS STYLES
WORN BY CAST IN
"VIRTUOUS WIVES"
Anita Stewart and Supporting Prin
cipals Show Total of Forty-Four
Different Creations

Local feminine patrons of motion
pictures will have an opportunity, at
the Strand Theater, Monday, to ac-
quaint themselves with the most re-
cent wartime styles in women's ap-
parel by studying the multitude of
finery worn by the star and principal
actresses in "Virtuous Wives" the
screen adaptation of Owen Johnson's
celebrated novel, in which Miss Anita
Stewart reurns to stardom after a
long period away from the camera.
"Virtuous Wives" is a story of mar
ried life in New York society, and
as such it had to be accurately and
lavishly dressed" Miss Stewart in
the role of Amy Forester, wears
eleven different dresses and suits in
the changing scenes of the story. Mrs
DeWolf Hopper, who will be seen as
Mrs. Irma Delabarre, was obliged to
provide herself with nine new gowns
and frocks to keep pace with the
demands of George Loane Tucker,
director for Miss Stewart, for the
proper costuming of the women prin-
cipals who play the part of social
personages.

THE CHANGE GOING ON

One farmer, who lives so close to
Triton that we claim him for Tiff
county, has sold $4,000 worth of
hogs the past year, and nearly all
of these to the Triton packing plant.
That man is not planting a large cot
ton acreage this year-in fact, he is
planting very little cotton. He is
planting corn and beans and buying
improved stock that his hogs may
bring more money, at less expense.
Five years ago, this farmer was plant
ing the bulk Of his land in cotton.
There is change going on, and it is
change that will make this section
the smokehouse as well as the granary
of the South Triton Gazette.

CENSUS PRESERVES

Director Says Temporary

Those persons who make their homes

state by answering questions asked BY
enumerators for the 1920 census.

last night by Robert +. Mattingiy, d.
rector of the census for the District OF
Columbia, concerning the taking OF the
census which begins January = Mr.
Mattingly says that the law provides

MI. Mattingly issued the following
statement last night. intended TO clear
/ up doubts in the minds Of those IN
familiar with census procedure:
1t is clear that Senators and Repre-
: sentativeS in Congress should be enunl-
Grated in their home states even though
4 lney may own or maintain homes in
washington which they occupy while
here This applies equally to all mem
| bers OF their families.

usual place Of abode within the mean
ing of the law. Persons who live IN

of the fact that they work in Wash

Enumeration for census purposes
has nothing whatever TO do with the
question of legal or voting residence.
