CAUGHT JOY RIDING

Car To Take a Sprin.

Car To Take Sprin.
The lure of joy riding proved
stronger than the call of church sery-
ices Sunday night for four young cou-
pies who were brought to the police
station. They had attended Christian
Endeavor at a church in the south
west part of town, then yielded to the
temptation to take possession of the
car belonging to Otis Noll, 1888 Blu
chanan street.
The police were notified and Off
GERS William Garrett, Ed Ransom and
]. H. Jones, in the police car, sue
ceeded in crowding the joy riders into
the curbing near Central Park, where
they were captured. When taken to
the police station, County Attorney
Fisher delivered to them a Sermon
that was probably stronger than the
one they escaped at church, with the
result that the boys were reduced to
repentance and the girls to tears.
The boys gave their names as Ben
Marst,. III East Eleventh; Earl Buhm.
1912 Mulvane; Elliot H. White, 1927
Lane, and Clarence Simpson, 719
Lake. The names of the girls were
not made public but all were warned
that another occurrence of this ma
ture would mean prosecution.

WAYS OF EARNING MONEY
DURING SUMMER VACATION
Many Opportunities Open to Children
Who Wish to Encourage Habits
Of Thrift and Saving.

A great many questions about how
children may earn money in order to
purchase Thrift and War Savings
Stamps during the summer vacation
period have come into the War Loan
Organization at Richmond. and it is
to answer these Inquiries that the
present article has been prepared
The suburban or country child prob.
ably has the best opportunities for
making money. though selling papers
and magazines, running errands and
the city child to earn the where.with-
all for Thrift Stamps.
In the country there IL first OF all
the garden. and at this time growing
food stuffs should receive special at
tention. 1t Is not too late to plant fall
crops which may be marketed with
profit. Lettuce and radsheS are
easily grown and always find good
markets, especially N the late sum
mer and fall. There will probably be
more OF some kinds OF vegetables in
the garden than can be eaten or can
ned These should be sold
On almost every farm there is a time
when much OF the fruit ripens at
once. and the problem OF disposing of
it arises. Some OF il is eaten, some
preserved. A quantity OF it not in.
frequently rots. This should be sold
II there is market near enough, but
II such Is not the case the children
can put It up and sell the canned stuff
in the fall.
Pigs, chickens, turkeys or rabbits
are easily raised in the summer vaCa,
ton. and all OF them will bring in
large returns for the time and labor.
Berry picking is another way OF max.
ing money that children should enjoy.
and this year there is plentiful
crop.
Many mothers and fathers will be
glad to pay the children for taking
care Of the yard. cutting wood, run.
ming errands or doing daily chores.
In fact there are so many ways OF
earning money during the summer
that the list might be indefinitely
lengtheHnd But OF course the object
OF any and all OF these ways is not
simply to make money hut 10 make
and save money; in other words
enough to buy War Savings Stamps
which will bring in four per cent in
terest. compounded quarterly.
You can do this, every boy and girl

CRIPPLED SOLDIERS
WANT FARMS

Atlanta, CIR, Aug. 26-Southern
soldiers who are Starting life over
again despite such handicaps as
wooden legs and crippled arms, are
displaying the keenest interest in
scientific farming, according to re-
cords on file in the After Care depart
mcnt of the southern division of the
American Red Cross.
1t is the province Of the After Care
department to act as the medary be-
tween the federal board for vocatio-
nal educational training and the Grip
pied soldiers who want such training,
to seek out the soldiers and show
them their opportunities, to forward
their applications to the board and as

Late the reconstruction work
That the Red Cross is performing
notable service in this connection is
proven by the fact that large per-
ccntagc of applications to the feder-
orul board have come through Red
Cross channels. In the southern di-
vision more than three hundred SOL
dlcrs have been placed in vocational
training through the Red Cross in the
last two or ibrpp months
The government offers more than
five hundred different subjects which
crippled soldier may take, his choice
depending first on his qualifications
and second on his own desires. While
scientific farming seems to be the fa-
vurilc choice of southern soldiers, the
Red Cross records shows that other
subjects are not neglected. Three
cX-soldicrs, one of them negro,
chose the ministcry; others went in
Tor medicine; one man displayed such
talent as an artist that he was sent
to the Chicago Art institute
