The model housekeeper of today
who is cultured and refined, and yet
enjoys domestic life, who knows how
to care for the money brought into
the home by the husband, how to use
it wisely and well for the comfort
of her family, certainly understands
domestic economy and should be an
object lesson help up for study in the
town in which she lived.

Scolding is mostly a habit. 1t is
often the result of nervousness and an
irritable condition of the mind and
body. A person is tired or annoyed
at some trivial cause and forthwith
commences to find fault with every
thing and everybody within reach,
Scolding is habit very easily formed
It IS astonishing how soon one be-
comes addicted to it and confirmed in
it. It is an unreasoning and unrea-
sonable habit. Persons who once get
in the habit of scolding always find
some thing to scold about. If there
is nothing else, they begin to scold
about the mere absence of something
to scold about 1t is an extremely dis
agreeable habit. 1t is contagious.
Once introduced into a family it is
pretty certain in a short time to affect
all members.

Finish every day and be done with
it. For manners and for wise living
it is a vice to remember. You have
done what you could; some blunders
and absurdities no doubt crept in;
forget them as soon as you can. To-
morrow is new day; you shall begin
it we'll and serenely and with too high
a spirit to be numbered with your old
nonsense. This ray for all that is
good and fair. 1t is too dear with all
it's hopes and invitations to waste
mon mt on the rotten yesterdays.

Labor and Capital Will bis.

Advertising to Increase
Production.

New, York, July 26.-samu-!
Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, has &C
cepted a place on the program of
the world convention of advertis-
ing, to be held in New Orleans,
September II to Is, as participant
in conference which will under
take to determine first, the terms
upon which the employer and en-
ploye can agree and thereby insure
increased production, and, second.
what advertising can do to help
promote such an understanding be-
tween capital and labor as will make
greater production possible.
Mr.. Gompers, speaking for labor.
will be followed by an employer
equally high as a representative 81
capital, and it is also planned to
have a man of international repu'
tation present a summary OF these
two addresses, on the following day.

actual experience of business con-

work to "a common end of greater
and greater prosperity.
1t was announced at the headquar
ters Offices of the Associated Adver-
Using Clubs of the World here to
day that the advertising convention
this year would, as has been the GUS

problem of continued and increased
production.

Americans Relieve
Suffering Caused>by
Bolsheviks in Riga

For the first time in nearly five
years the people of Riga, preyed
upon by the bolsheviks for many
months, are receiving outside aid to
alleviate their sufferings.
Four hundred tons of white flour
recently arrived in the port of Libau
through American relief administra-
ton efforts, and the Americans are
distributing it in the devastated en-
virons. Under the bolsheviks the
city was turned topsy-turvy. Their
policy was to stamp out the men and
women foremost in the social aud
business life of the city.
The report says in part: "Three
classes of bread cards were issued.
almost entirely to the so-called
workers." while the wealthy class
received only the most meagre al
reiced only the most meager al
reign, no shop was allowed to sell
food in the city, and no peasant was
allowed to bring products to town
for sale.
"The population of the city has
dwindled from 100000 to 225,0O0, and
about $4,000 of these are seriously
i'll. In four months only 2S7 babies
were born"
Now the American relief admin
istration is busy distributing food in
the streets where machine guns
pounded a few weeks ago. Two
hundred and eight thousand persons
are being fed through 80 soup
kitchens and such public service
calls for a considerable amount of
transportation. Only IS horses are
available for this use.
At the American relief mission
bread lines have beeHso long that
men and women have stood wait
ing for five and six hours.

Boy Prodigy Appears.
THAT night I was down at tie
Gasthaus Geisler, where bunch of
our dcughboys were permitting
themselves to be hypnotized by a
curly-haired German boy of 10, who
was performing miracles on the
piano in the room adjoining the bar.
/ One of the headquarters troop Men
had been Keeling off some ragtime
with rather painful two-hngored
bass that was always consistent. but
not always harmonious, when the
boy came in and stood peerins at
the crowd through a pair of THE;
spectacles. In the moment or two
of silence that followed his entry,
he said in perfect English "WoIld
you like me to play a little?"
"Sure, 60 aheadw the soldiers
chorused, and the headquarters
troop man got up from the piano
The German boy sat down, rub
bed his stiff curls, adjusted lis spec
tacles, struck a few ringing chords
and launched into , "The Star
Spahgler Banner"
He played for more than an hour
without looking at note o. music.
This is by Schumann," he'd an
nounce, and then, Here's a
Beethoven sonata" then This IS an
American song, isn't it" and he'd
play something from light OPERA.
Some of the other things he played
were also from light operas that
were first produced in America, but
the German boy did not recognize
them all as bits of American music.
1t was evident that thew lad baen
picked up bodily from Germany or
Austria and imported to American
orchestra pits.

Began to Awaken to Their Defeat.
They know now what had really
happened on the fighting front
while the general staff of the Ger
man army was feeding them on
fairy tales of victory and requisi-
tioning their poultry and butter for
Berlin.
This village, where we stayed over
night like an immense troupe of
transformers, was bigger than
Welschbillig. 1t had a fair little
hotel with one bath tub that was
fuli of spare bed clothing when we
arrived. The bed clothing was
later stored elsewhere, for man
aged to close deal for bath in
the tub. The beautifully enameled
hot water attachment on the tub
was out of order, so they heated
Til, water on the kitchen stove
downstairs, and broad-backed
German girl brought it up in five
trips, carrying two buckets each
trip-ive buckets of hot water and
five buckets of cold. She also
cleaned out the tub and pulled
down the shades in the window
and switched on the light, and
brought in rug for the flooI and
showed signs of wanting to assist
at the scrubbing festivities. So far
there seemed to be nothing the
Germans would not do to make the
American army of occupation feel
at home.
She Smoked Cigaret.
The wife of the proprietor of the
hotel Che, by the way, fought against
the British at Cambria and was
gasse6 even smoked cigaret. She
was clearing off the table after a
lunch for six officers. and sportive
major thrust his cigaret case toward
her and nodded brightly. With her
Tree hand she very gingerly took one
and started to stick it in the pocket
of her apron. mo nor insisted the
major, and struck match. So she
put the cigaret between~her lips and
went out toward the kitchen putting
it, with her arms full of dishes.
! A minute or so later the ex-boche
soldier walked past the kitchen door
ION some errand and he was smok-
ing his wife's cigaret.
They probably got the idea that
it was the custom for American wo-
men to smoke, and they must do it,
too, or the American soldiers would |
lose their tempers and shoot up the
town. When red-cheeked wait
ress came in to brush away the
crumbs and the major tried the
same stunt on her, and she stood
there fustered and uncertain, MRS.
Proprietor spoke quickly and quiet
~ to her and took the cigaret. After
one puff she fed from the dining
room, coughing and gasping, and
she didn't come back.
81 Remembered Baltimore.
II An old man whose son and daugh-
sster-in-law run little souvenir and
postcard shop here used to live in
Baltimore, he told me. He worked |
in a steamfitter's shop, and his
most vivid recollection of the city,
after having been back in Germany
for rs years, was of the smells that
came up from the water front. One
of the Baltimoreans he remembered
best was Friedrich, who, he said,
built the city hall.

Pershing's Home is
Little Changed by
the Passing Years

Laclede, Mo-, Sept. 5.-When Gen.
Perishing visits this town, the place
of his birth, which he has promised
to do, probably next month, he will
find things little changed. Many
persons whom he knew as a boy are
still here, and the march of indus
trial progress has trod softly in Linn
county; certainly nothing has been
married Mostly he will find the same
friends living in the same houses that
they did a generation ago; exchang-
ing local gossip in the same coy
stores; going to the same churches
and their offsprings attending the
same schools.
The local committee is striving for
program which while reflecting the
pride felt in the city's most distin-
guished representative, will at the
same time revive in the guest the
feeling that he is among home folk.
"In essentials the place is so little
changed that l think he can turn
back the clock forty years without
much effort of the" imagination, )"
said Mayor Allen.
There will be music and oratory,
and holiday throughout the entire
countryside, and of all the fried
chicken which promises 10 feature
the feasting the tenderest and most
succulent will be available to the gen
eral at every board.

Will Bring Hundreds
of Negroes to Dixie

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 5.-Missls-
sippi is organizing movement for
returning to the South hundreds OF
negro families that have gone north
in the last few years and who now
are anxious to get back to Dixie.
Mississipans need their help to
handle a big cotton crop and to do
other work.
1t is proposed to establish offices
in Chicago, st. Louis and later i'll
other cities where there are many
Southern negroes; to place .compe-
tent man in charge of each office and
to make it clearing house in the
handling of negroes who really want
to come back to Mississippi.
Definite work will be under way
before winter, when hundreds of ne
gro families, accustomed to the mild
winters Of Mississippi, will be anx-
ious to return south but will be with
out means of getting back, in many
instances.
1t has been estimated that H.
100000 bale cotton crop will require
100000 pickers through the picking
season of from 80 to 100 days. Also
it is asserted that the South must
each year recruit 10000 pickers to
handle her crop. With the present
dearth of help, consequently, good
wages, much improved living condi-
tions and an offer by many OF the
big planters to pay transportation
back to the South have resulted.

Larger Market is
Open for Arkansas
Production of Zinc

Little Rock, Sept. 5.-What pro-
misses to open a larger market Tor
Arkansas ENC is the discovery by an
italian engineer CT a new alloy, COM
posed of zinc and copper, lnTorma-
ton concerning which mas been re-
ceived by jim q. Ferguson, COM
missioner of mines, manufactures,
and agriculture, in report from II.
G. MacLean, United States trade
commissioner at Rome, Italy.
This new product, Commissioner
Ferguson says, is called "Biakr'
metal 1t is stronger than steel and
less corrosive than copper. 1t has
the highest known breaking point,
the highest limit of elasticity, per-
feet homogeneity, high resistance to
thermic action and is little affected
by chemicals. Biakmetal is extreme
ly we'll adapted for almost any kind
Of manipulation and has quickly
demonstrated it's usefulness mn Ital-
ian industry. 1t can be successfully
cast, turned, drawn, forger, rolled
or stamped. Being light in weight
it is desirable for aeronautc and
marine construction.
Adolfo Pounchain is the origina-
tor Of the new metal alloy and a
large plant has been established at
Turin for it's production. The exact
composition is a secret, but large
quantities of zinc are used and Italy
expects to greatly increase it's i'm
ports of this metal from the United
States, thus creating a new demand
for one of Arkansas leading miner
ais.
