COOKING AND SEWING CLUES
IN COUNTY SCHOOLS.

Mrs. NJ. d. Stalker, county home
demonstration agent, has begun the
organization of girls cooking and
sewing clubs, The first clubs were
organized and work started at Ar
milo last Wednesday, The girls are
showing as much enthusiasm in their
clubs as the boys are in their pig and
calf clubs and soon the children of
the whole county will be so busy doing
the things they like to do in the way
they are interested in, that there will
be little need of that old well known
copy book saying about Satan finding
mischief still for idle hands to do.

The Ten Dons held their last meet
ing for the season on Friday night, at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. b. Nc
Millen. The meeting was an unusual
~ pleasant one. Without consulting
any of the men, Mrs. McMillen had in
vited the wives of the Dons and at the
close of the well-prepared dinner,
when the men were ushered into the
drawing room TO drink their coffee
they found upon entering that their
wives had gotten there first and We're
already enjoying ice cream and cake,
It was a real surprise for the men and
for once the ladies did get in on a
meeting where paper prepared by
one of the august and dignified Dons
was read. 1.-THE paper on THE Re-
made Map of Europe" was very in

Exact Meaning of Statute
Which Became Effective on
May | Uncertain; Vendors
Are Much in the Dark,

Dispensers of soft drinks and ice
cream are working overtime and rack
ing their brains these days trying to
interpret the new revenue law which
became effective May /. This law
was passed during the fag end of the
last session of congress as part of the
governments plan for raising addi-
tonal funds to aid in paying off the
United States bill incurred in prose-
cutting the war against Germany The
internal revenue department issued
no instructions regarding the matter,
and as the measure may be interpret
ed in several different ways each
dealer affected has been compelled to
construe it in his own way.
The law as it appears on the statute
books reads as follows:
THAT on and after may !. 1913,
there shall be levied. assessed, col
lected and paid tax of l cent on each
10 cents or fraction thereof of the
amount paid to any person conducting

articles of food or drink when any
of the above are sold on or after such

own thirst, they would pay cents
apiece. But suppose you go in with a

The pictures of the old missions are

Ideal theater is out of the ordinary
film from franm many angles.
Picture patrons, who are interested
in seeing children on the screen. will
find in the natural and spontaneous
way in which the children act in this
play, great deal to amuSe as we'll as
entertain.
With a heart interest dramatic story
that is woven around the influence of
parents on children's lives. the child
rem play big part in the unfolding
of this play of life love and home.
Memories of good old school days
are brought home in a most convinc-
ing and delightful way as the children
do the things which. We all did during
the days of reading, writing and
'rithmetic.'
beautiful child is thrown on the
screen, or who smile knowingly when
a child does something cute, which
their own baby has done time and
again, will be particularly impressed
by the sweet, wholesome children in
this play and their joy producing an

Film fans often wonder how these
children can be made to act so nat
urally. 1t required great deal of
time and attention to procure the re-
suits so wonderfully shown in Par
entage," but through the untiring eff
forts of Director Hobart Henley, and
with his knowledge of child life, pat
rons that see "Parentage'' will receive
rare treat not accorded in most mo-
ton pictures.

Frenzy Over Footwear.
In Rome, Milan, Forli, Bologna and
Naples the search for shoes continued
many days. The struggles in each
city were so great that few law
abiding persons tried to secure shoes
There appeared to be no attempt al
fitting anyone. Shoes were handed
out in boxes and the buyers took
them, seemingly not caring whether
they fitted or not just so they were
on the basis of a so per cent re-
duction in price. 1t was common

shoes for his entire family.

but his was an oath of anger.
A hundred feet away they saw KO-
rak bound to q stake, the brush piled
about him already alight. The Eng
lishman pushed Meriem to one side
and started on a run for the doomed
man. What he could do in the face of
scores of hostile blacks and Arabs he
did not stop to consider.
At the same instant Tantor broke
through the palisade and charged the
group. In the face of the maddened
beast the crowd turned and fled, carry
ing Baynes backward with them.
Tantor wrapped his trunk about the
body of Korak and the stake to which
it was bound and tore it from the
ground. Lifting his burden high above
his head, the giant beast wheeled and
raced for the breach he had just made
in the palisade. The sheik, rifle in
hand, rushed directly in the path Of
the maddened brute. He raised his
weapon and fired once. The bullet
missed It's mark, and Tantor was upon
him, crushing him beneath his gigantic
feet as he raced over him. And then,
bearing his burden carefully, Tantor,
the elephant, entered the Llackaess of
the jungle.
In moment it was all over, and the
elephant had disappeared with his
prize, but pandemonium reigned
throughout the village. Men, women
and children ran helter skelter for
safety. Ours fed, yelping. The horses
and camels and donkeys, terrorized by
the trumpeting Of the pachyderm
kicked and pulled at their tethers.
A dozen or more broke loose, and II

that brought sudden idea into
