Dear Fellow Teacher:
l am writing you regarding the
forming of a circuit of the inland
town schools of White River, Mission.
Ca ,ter, Witten and Wood, for the pur
pose of holding interscholastic games
and meets each year.
1t seems to me that the organizing
of such a circuit is altogether feasible
and possible. In so cooperating, we
shall do much to stimulate interest
in interscholastic activities of various
kinds. thus making school life much
more interesting for our boys and
girls. Providing we are able to ef-
feet the organization of such a circuit
l propose that we Immediately lay
plans for holding a meet at Wood as
the central place in the circuit, and
that we prepare a catalogue of events
with suitable awards for the winners,
and have same printed in the local
papers. l should like to suggest Sat-
urday, May IA, as the date for the
meet
Allow me to present the following
name for your consideration: 1.-THE
Rosebud Inland Schools Athletic AS
In connection with this
proposed association, l trust WI may
able to create an interest in foot
ball, and that we begin now to pre-
pare for a series of games for next
fall.
Thanking you for an early reply,
and any ideas that you may contribute
to promote the plan.
am very truly yours,

GOLF IMPROVES HUBBY'S TEMPER

been awarded the championship as the
ideal marital Romeos by women of the
California Southland.
For, according to the Angeleno
wives, bubbles who are the maddest
on the links are the meekest in the
home. And therefore the home life
of the golfers wife is ideal.
Mrs. Patrick j. Higgins, Mrs. Paul
Pitner and Mrs. Frank Tatum, all
of whom are wives of noted Western
bgolfers, when interviewed on the sub
ject of their husbands dispositions
laughingly that the demon of the
green is the model of the home.
There can be no doubt that golf
has a most Christening effect upon a
husbands disposition" confessed Mrs.
Tatum, prominent in Southern Cali
fornia society.
Golf may be a stimulant to pro-
family, but on the other hand it Gains
down a mans vocabulary for domestic
USE she continued. 81 suppose the
really good players are all to exhaust
ed to swear after they get home.
wives should certainly encourage
their husbands to play golf. A golf
player makes the ideal husband be-
yond a question"
Mrs. Paul Pitner, also widely-known
social leader, is another enthusiast
for the golf playing husband.
81 expect that the real secret of
why golf improves a husbands dis
position is that it keeps him out of
doors in the fresh air." said Mrs. Pit
ner. at is quite true that the maj
who plays golf has a better DISPOSE
ton than the one who does not.
Nothing like a great deal of healthful
exercise in the open for encouraging
a good and even temper"
Mrs. Patrick j. Higgins believes
that golf is the best husband improver
possible and that the better golf player
a man is the more engaging a mate he
makes.-Atlantic City Press.
