WISHED THE LADY HAD ACTED
Probably Youngsters Comment Found
Echo in the Minds of Others in
the Audience.

A politician was making a speech
at one of the towns school houses.
Naturally, he was telling of all the
accomplishments of his administration.
And always after he had told one
he turned toward his wife, who was
in the audience, and said:
My wife will bear me out In what
I have just told"
Over and over he repeated his rather
long -drawn-out boasts, despite his
yawning audience, always bringing the
lady in at the finish.
But at last he stopped.
Then an irrepressible high-schoOl
youngster turned to his companion
and said in tone loud enough to be
heard by those in his vicinity.
I'm so tired that l wish his wife

WOULD GET RID OF DUNK"
Too Common, of Keeping Useless
Old Household Goods.

Articles which owe their value to
their utility may become unservice-
able, but the owners, instead of get
ting rid of them, find some niche in
the home in which to store them, or,
worse still, keep the old goods in a
place of honor with modern furnish
tngs and make their homes ugly as
well as comfortless.
Where families have lived in one
house for years, miscellaneous articles
of useless furniture will be found lum-
boring up the place. If the more SEN
sible and practical members of the
family ask for their disposal, and
comment on their uselessness they get
q lecture entitled sentimental value.
The amazing part of the sentiment

misers of rubbish place on the tastes
and desires of other members of the
family. The worShipers of household
goods are likely to become eXacting.

basement Is divided into two distinct
departments. the boys on one side and

The primary function of the public
schools is to make good citizens. From
the standpoint of citizenship, every
schoolhouse ought to be polling

nomical but would emphasize the
ideal for which the ballot box stands
We have tried this plan in Boardman

observed the closing exercises of the
school year, had a speaker on polit-
ical economy from the state univer-
sity, and a community dinner--a real
time of good fellowship for the people
Of the community, young and old.
In addition to the use of the school
as polling place, all the various or
CARNATIONS of the community use the
building and its equipment for their
activities: the Ladies' Aid society,
the grange, the farm bureau. Parent
Teachers association, Commercial
club, Community library, Hay Grow
ers' association, the North Morrow
County Fair association, and extern
sion schools. About the only organ
ization in the community that does
not use the school is the church, and
there Is some discussion of bringing
that In line where the school audi
forum and class rooms and equip
ment might be used for religious in
struction, while the small cottage
church could be remodeled for a
manSe.
The next important step in the de-
velopment of the communlty-center
idea would be the federation of the
aforementioned organizations under
community secretary with
board of directors composed of the
heads of each department. Commu-
nifty work could then be carried on
with a definite plan for all and move
steadily forward in accomplishment
of civic needs and betterments.
Representative NJ. Clyde Kelly of
Pennsylvania, made a speech recently
in the house on. the subject of federal
government aid for furthering the use
of the public schoolhouSe as the CEN
ter of community association and ac-
tivity. He said, among other things:
The unit of neighborhood in Amer
lea is the public school district. The
entire nation is divided into these
natural communities. and in the CEN
ter of each is a public building owned
by all the people, regardless of all
lines of class and creed and partner
ship and income.
