Your Porch I'm Order

The most popular room in the
American home is the screened-in
porch.
The home that hasn't a porch
or at least a sun parlor ism really
a home at all.
Living on the porch is the great
national pastime. We eat on the
porch, sleep on the porch, enter
tain on the porch, lounge on the
porch. It's the rallying center for
every family activity.
The makers and merchants of
home furnishings were quick to
see and foster the porch idea.
First, they designed porch chairs.
roomy and restful beyond any
thing ever known before. Then
came porch beds, porch tables
and breakfast porch furniture.
Thus equipped with it's own
particular fittings, the porch at
tains added importance and
charm.

If you have porch that isn't
living up to its possibilities, fur
nish 1t at once. No investment
will pay greater returns in COM
fort and satisfaction.
No summer resort has beauties
to compare with your own porch
where you are master Of all you
survey-where you can always
find quiet, rest and solace-with-
out admission fee or gratuities.
The stores have been preparing
their displays Of summer furni-
ture for many months. You can
choose now from greatest varie-
ties and latest designs. Willow,
reed, reed-tibre-fumed, natural
or stained in bright hues; deep.
restful chairs, luxurious chaise
lounges, settees, rockers gay with
cretonne upholstery-never were
porch accessories so varied,
So alluring. And the prices are
moderate, too. Set your porch in
order. Begin right here and now.

Mrs Efie Blair Wall visited High
School this week in the interest OF the
Missouri tuberculosis Association. A
health crusade viii be entered into by
the school as soon as the necessary
blanks are received from the Assoeia-
ton. The community is urged to as
sist in this movement. The annual
losses from tuberculosis are enormous
Much of this loss could be avoided by
following simple rules of living.
The number of tardies is decress-
ing. By q close cooperation of par
ents and teachers in the demand for
promptness they can be almost en-
tirely eliminated,
Through the kindness of Mr.. A. P.
Schaefer the School Athletic Assoeia-
fion will receive the net proceeds from

to MI. SchseFer for this courtesy.
The High School Literary Society
gave its first program last Friday aft.
ernoon The second program will be
given within two weeks. The public
is cordislly invited to attend these
programs.
The teachers would be glad to for
mulate plans for a parent-teacher or.
g%anization. This is a good time to be
gin a movement which would ulti
mately bring teachers and parents in
to "a closer relationship. Teachers d.
not usually welcome specific method
of disciplining and conducting actua
school work from patrons. But they
do welcome a hearty interest and par
ticipation by patrons in school lif'
and activities.
The pump at the High School ha
been repaired. Water can now be OBJ

per cent. Many of these car are of

the roads as easily as the smaller cars.
Many cars from distant states have
made the trip to Reynolds county.
Two cars of tourists from Colorado
were here a few days ago, and they
were loud in their praise of our crys-
tai clear water, beautiful scenery and
large springs. They expressed the be-
lief that Reynolds county scenery
equaled that of Colorado or any other
state. They will return here next fall
and spend two or three weeks. Near
Oenterville are two beautiful sites for

we hope to see these sites alive with
humanity. There is no reason why we
should not entertain 200 summer Wis

HE SLABS SPIDER ON WOMAN
Whisky Soaked Imagination Leads
Oregon Man Into Police
Court.

Portland. Ore.-It wasn't n PINK
elephant or a purple snake that John
Dick thought he saw upon the shOul-
der of n woman pedestrian on the
downtown street. but the bibulous
Johns whisky-soaked Imagination in
weighed him into believing that n large
crimson spider was crawling stealthily
upon the woman's coat, near her
throat.
John crept slyly upon the woman
and his fist came down with undue
force where he thought the spider
was crawling. In another instant the
woman called for help. ard a few
moments later John was aboard a po-
lice patrol on his way to the station.
In the police court John admitted
he had partaken too freely of a bottle
OF white mule" moonshine. He was
surprised to learn that the blood red
spider was but a igment of his whisky
soaked brain. but he sorrowfully ad-
mitted that the liquor had been po-
PM enough TO produce almost any
result.
Judge ROssman prescribed a $40
fine and seven days In Jail as a fitting
treatment for his ailment.
