Until comparatively recent tlmes
the Channel islanders. and. indeed

Another piano solo by Mrs. Strieff
made an enjoyable change in the pro-
gram.
Miss Avis Lothrop spoke of the
aim and purpose of the Parent Tea
chers Association of !Yerington.
their purpose being to cooperate
and their aim understanding and har-
mony. At the monthly meetings the
methods of teaching are demonstrated
by the teachers. At frequent intervals
parties and entertainments of various
kinds have been given, which tend to
draw the parents and teachers to a
common ground.
The paper read by Mrs. Wagner:
Of Reno, OIL Education through
Play was one that came pretty
close to all mothers. After discus
sing pretty thoroughly the subject of
Social Hygiene she took up the de-
velopment and teaching of children.
Supervised intelligent play does away
with unnatural restraint and is condu-
Give to courage, courtesy and obedi-
encc. Supervision is all important
and does not mean that the child is
not a free agent Keeping boys and
girls out of mischief means keeping
them busy at something all the time
Play for children and adults is con-
sidered the primary human need.
Among grownups it has become lest
art, due, perhaps, to the struggle tor
daily bread, for mechanical work
deadens the desire for play. She quot
ed some one as saying in effect that
the crime of the age is the waste
of our leisure time.
Mrs. Edith West, Chairman
of the General Federation, treated
very convincingly the subject of "Our
Obligations to the Coming Genera
ton" Bringing out the fact that if
we stop grumbling about the various
government taxes which we are called
upon to pay, and begin to realize that
those taxes are to help pay off war
debt which we ourselves incurred
and to care for disabled soldiers, war
widows and orphans; that though the
actual fighting is over there are sew
eral billions of dollars yet to be paid
and that we are to do our share to
help finish the job. then we would be-
gin to devise ways of saving which
would do the job quickly and better
Setting forth the fact that the re-
sponsibilty of reconstruction rests
with the present generation, that 1t is
our duty to keep up patriotism in
peace time.
Mrs. A. p. Wells. President OF the
Mason Woman's Club. spoke OF the
work of her club during the past year
in which a definite course OF study
occupied many OF the meetings. a
different subject for each meeting.
She compared her club to hive OF
bees--all workers and no drones'
The meeting was brought to close
bv Mrs. McIn,Gs. who invited the

had brought away many good IDEAS

Morgan home, cooking a camp. hre. supper, doing some fishing and swimming, sleep out during the night and then after a camp fire breakfast returning to Mena Wednes. day morning.
 Soon after the boys gathered in the rear of the w. E. Holt store. the 64eatening cloud came up from the north, and while Mir. Holt and those whom he called in consultation were sure 1t was going to rain, there was little use to dissuade the bows from taking the trip. So they were placed under. leader, started out of town with instruction to return in case of ram. They came back about 8 o'clock. all of them we'll soaked, but still in,. sistIng they had a fine time. The home of Mir. and Mrs. W. T.

FLIvvER MAKER
 WANTS NITRATE PLANT
Henry Ford Willing to Take Over Muscle Shoals on a 100-Year
 Lease.

Washington, July 14.-Secretary Hoover transmitted today to Secre- tary Weeks a proposal of Henry Ford, of Detroit, for the utilization of the Muscle Shoals (Alabama) nitrate plant under a lease for 100 years at $1 ,500,000 year and cash payment of $5,000,000 for lands and equip ment.
 Negotiations leading up to the of for, MT. Hoover said, grew out of
 representations made to the com merce department by the Mississippi
 Valley Association. the Tennessee
 association and the American farm bureau federation. All of these or ganizations he added, were greatly interested in seeing that the project on which the government has already expended $80,000, 100000 should not disintegrate altogether and that the improvement to transportation on the Tennessee river should not he lost. If the offer is accepted, he will convert and operate the large nitrate plant for the production of fertilizer compounds and arrange to use 1t foI production of government explosives in case of war. He proposes to limit the profits of the fertilizer plant to 2 per cent.
 Acceptance of the oger," Mir. Hoover said, lis entirely for decision l by Congress and that body will nc
 doubt be greatly guided by Secretary Weeks views in the matter. Mir.
 Ford has made a genuine proposal. Ii shows courage to agree to pay cut $5,00O,000; to spend further sums up.
 on large works and besides to take ar
 annual obligation for about $i, ,501.- 900 for one hundred years, and to
 agree to maintain a nitrate plant in
 reserve for the government for that period. Whatever may be the result
 Mir. Ford's offer does prove what the public associations have contanded--
 that the completion of this project has a commercial value
