| in Omaha this work is just starting
and Miss GODDARD will be a pioneer
and will go ahead on her own initia-
tive. She will be the head of her de-
partment and have complete super
vision and the authority to choose her
own helpers. Miss GODDARD is very en-
| thusiastic over her new position and
| sees in the work with the children in
Omaha great opportunity for service.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR. -
On the day after the Fourth of July
| the picture so charac teristically Amer
lean will start at the Orpheum theater.
| "A Son of Democracy" is the story of
| the life of our own Abrah Lincoln
and shows in all its beauty and sturdi-
| ness the years of the martyred presi-
| dent. 1T makes history live for the
! children as no text could ever do and
| 1t will give them something substantial
and true to remember. This picture is
very expensive and heavy so only two
| reels will be shown a week. II will
take five weeks to complete it. Sat
Arms will be shown. Besides this
/ there will be THE Collie Market" and
one of Paul Blackburn's country life
| pictures.
Mrs. David Page and Mrs. w. r.
Kercher were in Kansas City last week
booking pictures for the coming
month They are delighted over the
films they were able to contract for
| and are sure others will agree with
them when they see them. They are
| the pictures Of youth and happiness
with such delightful actors as Jack
| Pickford. Baby Marie Osborn. Mary
pPickford. Marguerite Clark and Bobby
| Connolly in the famous Bobby pictures
taking the leading parts. There are
| also the travel pictures and the Bobby
\ Bumps cartoons, and best of all right
now the great Lincoln drama. During
the summer when it's hot and the pic
4 ture shows are crowded it's SO much
better to see that the children get to
go to the cool, carefully conducted
Saturday morning performance where
pictures you are sure of are shown
than to risk just any time and any
place. 1t is real missionary work the
Social Service club is doing even If it
is disguised in such a delightful fash
ion.
MAUD MULLER.
A terrible thing just happened to
me, just met Maud Muller. And I'll
tell you how she looked out there, in
her natural color. 1 just strolled out
in that meadow that Whittier wrote
/ about, and saw dear little Maudie as
she kicked the hogs about. She had
thistles pinned upon her breast,
cockleburrs were in her hair, she
smelled like a livery stable, she's as
wild as a March hare. q Her baby eyes
of shape. Her hands are full IF oozy
warts, one boots tied on With tape.
Her stockings are at half mast, her
neck is frightfully dirty Her nose
needs a right good blowing. also,
they say she's f1irty. They told me,
once she took a bath, they just for got
the day. but they never will forget it,
| cause the tub was full of clay. They
wouldn't let her go to school, not
with all the windows shut. Because
her feet were odoriferous. they have
to leave 'em up. She surely did love
onions. and when she talked to me
oh! Gosh. l thought l had been
"gassed," by heck, l couldn't see.
Then long came that noble judge, and
, fell for her sweet charms, as she
ing chiggers off her arm. Shed shoot
them at the hired man, and at the
NANCY pup. and when a couple came
my way-just then 1 woke up.
-N.S.A-
