Voters Play a Prank

Voters have a way Of playing
practical Jokes at times in a man
ner that may prove highly discon-
certing to candidates for office. An
example of this sort is seen in the
recent municipal election at Water
loo, Nebraska. One of the candi-
dates for mayor there was Mr.
Jacobsen; but a majority of the
voters, without saying anything
about it, voted for his wife in
stead, Notwithstanding she was
not candidate and did not know
what was going on until it was all
over. She is a mother who does
her own homework, has a large
garden, raises chickens, and is ac-
tive in club and church work.
Another Nebraska town has re.
Gently reported the election of 6
woman mayor. She is Miss Mary
Peterson, who conducts an auto.
mobile business and is interested
in an ice plant in Red Cloud.

India Shows Us How

The men Of benighted India APP
pear to have given an object lesson
to the civilized, world a few weeks
ago in the gracious manner in
which they granted the suffrage to
the women of the great state of
Madras.
The women's associations pre-
pared their case and organized a
great campaign as has been done
in so many other countries. They
were soon invited to appear before
certain chambers of commerce and
other organizations to discuss the
matter. Finally, they were asked
to appear before members Of the
governing council and state the
reasons why they believed them
selves entitled to the right to vote.
When the discussion was over, a
vote was taken; and by this vote,
the women of Madras were Off
cially given all the rights held by
the men of the province, and this
by an overwhelming majority
When this business had been at
tended to, refreshments were serv.
ed and everybody was reported to
have had a first rate time.
In contrast to this, when the
women Of England called upon
parliament in their campaign fol
the ballot, great bodies Of police
were called out to protect the lives
of certain high officials and many
of the women were arrested anc
thrown into prison.

The Problems of
HOME AND FAMILY
A Talk with our Wives, Mothers,
and Sisters
Teach the Child Self Reliance

We are sorry to say that some
parents seem to consider their duty
done when they have fed and
clothed their children. They give
no thought to their moral welfare
and then wonder why their boys
and girls wander from the path of
rectitude.
If the parents would take their
responsibilities seriously, fewer
children would get their ideals
from the movies; if they would
give part of themselves with their
ministrations, give them the love
which they crave, and an under
standing of their pleasures and in
terests, the children would have an
abiding faith in the ideals of Che
home and their loyalty would with
stand time and distance.
And now we come to the gist Of
the thought which is in our mind.
We are apt to lose our line Of
thought Oh the subject of child
training. There is so much to be
said and there seems to be so little
enthusiasm.
We must not, in our zeal, dc
everything for the child, nor We,
overburden him, but help hin
where necessary, just enough tt
make him purposeful.

About a Child's Party

Children should be allowed to
develop naturally and the environ
ment must be free from contami-
mating influences. The home is
the playground and nursery.
But it is good for the child as
we'll as the parents to do a certain
amount Of mixing with his kind.
Otherwise, he will, when in the
presence Of strangers, be shy and
awkward.
The natural movements of chill
dren are graceful; it is when self
conscious and ill at ease that they
are otherwise.
1t is we'll to begin early to &C
custom the child to the presence
and companionship Of others, and
an occasional child's party is USE
full for overcoming his timidity and
shyness.
1t is no easy task to entertain
small children at party success
ully. They are generally shy and
restless, not yet knowing how to
enter into games.
We have found it very good
rule to give them the goodies
first. AS soon as all have arrived,
usher them into the dining room
where is the ice cream, popcorn
balls, candy, etc.
You will see their little cheeks
flush and their eyes widen with de-
light. They forget their timidity
and when they have eaten their
fill, are ready for the merry romp
and jolly games.

Setting Colors in Wash Materials

Settln4 COl01e IN w ASH Materials
This is the time Of year when we
are seeking ways. and means of
keeping the colors fresh in our
summer frocks. In materials
which shrink badly, the shrinking
and setting of color can be done in
one process before the goods is
made up. Most materials will be
thoroughly shrunken if we'll cover
ed with boiling water and allowed
to remain until the water is cool,
then pulled straight and hung up
smoothly until just damp enough
to iron easily.
Hanging the clothes in the sun
and wind will fade them. Colored
garments should not be allowed to
hang after they are dry. In fact,
if you have a laundry room where
the windows can be opened so as
to let in good current of air,
colored clothes are better dried
inside.

solved thoroughly in twelve quarts
of boiling water will set any color

The Oklahoma Massacre

In Tulsa, Oklahoma, a white
girl misunderstood the actions of a
negro boy. Her story inaamed the
city and brought to the surface all
the baser passions of the lower ele-
ments of both races.
In the carnival of blood and
death which followed, thirty per-
sons were killed, twenty-one of
whom were negroes. Practically
the entire colored population were
driven from the city and their
homes destroyed.
The better class of people were
not involved in the affair. 1t was
they who gathered in mass meet
ing later, voiced the city's shame,
and set about it to rebuild the
burned homes.
Perhaps Tulsa is not greatly diff
ferent from other communities.
All seem to have a human stratum
which prefers to follow its lower
motives and impulses and is unres-
ponsive to those that are higher
and nobler.
If we may believe the reports,
greed and jealousy Of the rich oil
land holdings of certain negroes OF
Tulsa also played a part in the
massacre. This, too, appears to
exist in every community; for in
all there seem to be many people
who put their own private interests
above the common good.
These are some of the reasons
why we must not allow ourselves
to be carried away by sentiment in
our political activities. Much as
we long for the millennium. it is
not here yet. Moreover, it will
not come save by planning care.
fully and working earnestly for the
new order which we would bring
in.

Double Wear from Pillow Slips

When you buy your next pillow
slips, buy tubing instead of straight
muslin. Then when they are
about half worn out, cut off the
seam at the bottom and seam
again, running the new seam at
right angles to the old one. This
brings the wear on the former
sides of the slip, and brings the
old worn middle at the side where
it gets no consequently a
new slip and no expense.
Borax is the best hair brush
cleaner. Use teaspoonful Of
borax and tablespoonful of soda
in the water in which hairbrush
is to be washed. Always dry a
brush NTH the bristles down so
that the water will not run into
the back of the brush and ruin it.
To remove the shine from WOOL
en- garments sponge them in warm
water and borax solution. One
tablespoon of borax to one quart
of water. Press on the wrong side

II would rather be a washer
woman in the United States than

Jennie Hendrickson, of Waterville,
Pennsylvania, when word came
that two grand-uncles had died in
Sweden, leaving her a share in a
fortune, which amounted to nearly
100000.
Mrs. Hendrickson, with other
relatives, engaged a lawyer, who
came back with the news that
there would be no money for the
heirs so long as they remained in
this country.

The New Celebration

The New Celebration
The General Federation of Wo.
mems Clubs is attempting to bring
in a new program for the obser-
vance of the Fourth of July.
It holds that the day really
ought to be given over to the
building up of a spirit of patriotism
and a sense Of civic responsibility
among the people.
1t suggests that in each commu-
nifty a procession should be made
up Of the young men and women
who have come Of age within the
year, and also the foreign-born
men and women who have become
American citizens within that time.
The latter should be allowed to
carry the flags of their respective
countries, but the American flag
would be held above all others. In
the procession should also march
the veterans of all wars.
When the gathering place is
reached, the group Of new citizens
should be formally welcomed by
some one speaking in the name of
the community; and there should
be responses not only from the
young Americans but from repre-
sentatives Of the foreign groups.
Finally as a climax of the cere-
monial, the civic oath should be
administered to each member OF
the new group of citizens, the
name Of each one being read aloud
if the number is not too great;
and at the end, all persons present
should recite together the Oath Of
Allegiance to the United States.
The plan seems far better thar
the old program of frecrackers
foot races and famboyant speeches.
Citizenshipis too cheap in Amer.
lea. Too few know what it means
or give a second thought to the
duties it imposes. Is it not time
that it received more serious con,
sideration and thought, not merely
from those who are just coming
into it, but from all of US?

Butterscotch Pie

Butterscotch Pie
! cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
! cup -four
II cups milk
2 eggs
! teaspoon vanilla
J teaspoon salt
Use a double boiler for this.
First, place the upper pan directly
over a low fire with the butter and
sugar in it. Allow this to brown
slightly. Add the -four, salt and
milk, set over the bottom pan and
cook till thick. Add well-beaten
egg yolks and aavoring, cooking a
minute longer. Turn into baked
crust and use the whites for q
meringue. This is a slightly diff
ferent procedure than we have
given before for butterscotch pie,
but we believe it is an improve
ment. Of course, if you are fortu-
nate enough to have some real
maple sugar, then you can have
the original butterscotch pie and
not the substitute which most Of
us must use.

Man Who Knew Lincoln
Celebrates Birthday

Mr. Z. w. Plummer celebrated his
86th birthday anniversary, Friday,
August II, at his home on Vista Bon
ita Ave. The day was typical of Cali
fornia summer weather and sugges-
tive of the even temper and placidi-
ty of the life past with all of its vi
cissitudes, which may well account
for his being so remarkably we'll pre-
served physically for one of his ad-
Vanced age, while his mental facul-
ties have in no wise been impaired.
The only physical defect noticlble be
ing his hearing, the partial deafness
suffered as a railroad accident met
with on the Cincinnati and Merritta
railroad while he was yet a very
young man and being one of the few
passengers who escaped with their
lives after the train had plunged
through the bridge into the river
forty feet below. The Surgeon who
gave first aid treatment frankly told
him that he could not live, and so
firm was he in his opinion that when
some years later, Mr.. Plummer
chanced to meet the doctor in Lea
venworth, Kan, Mr.. Plummer had
some trouble in convincing him that
he was the same man who had re-
covered completely with the one eX-
ception.
Mr.. Plummer became we'll ac-
uuainted with Abraham Lincoln
David Davis, John Springer, Doug
las Cullen, Joe Cannon and other
celebrates of Illinois who tlourished
contemperaneously at the time,
while boarding at the hotel in Lin
coin, Ill. And having very re-
tentive memory, he can recall many
of the quaint, piquaint and spicy
stories told by Lincoln and relate
them with freshness, cleyerness
and zest that would do credit to any
man, as we'll as "reminiscences that
are of absorbing interest.
He pitched quoits with Lincoln
and had the pleasure Of listening to
several of the debates between the
Little Giant, Stephen A. Douglas
and Abraham Lincoln, when they
were both candidates for the U. 5.
Senate in 1856.
The subject of this sketch was
born in Cambridge, Maryland. He
is we'll connected and has been
Mason for 81 years.
Mr.. Plummer facetiOuSly refers to
his companion as his little girl. she
is but 76 years of age and they cele-
brated their golden wedding about
Que year ago, while his daughter
was here from Chicago.
1t is quite a distinction for any
town in position to refer to one OF
it's citizens as a former acquaintance
and associate of our martyred Pres
ident, as well of man who has
reached the age Mr.. Plummer has in
vigorous health and with mental-
ty as alert and bright as new sill
yer dollar.
The Cleaner joins others with
pleasure in wishing this remarkable
man and fine old gentleman many
return of the happy event, while
congratulating him upon his good
fortune in choosing for residence,
a place that fayors and induces
longevity. Glendora Cleaner,
