MAKE HOBBY OF GRIEVANCE
Probably Many Of Us Know Persons
Who Closely Resemble This
Sensitive Cousin lucy.

Cousin Lucy seldom goes any place
that she doesn't get her feelings hurt.
In fact, she spends the greater portion
of her time nursing grievance OF
some sort or other At the laSt fam
lily dinner. which has been q custom
of the family for several generations.
she had the following to say over the
telephone to someone who has man
aged to keep from offending her for
several weeks
well. you can say an too senSf-
tive if YOU want to-" she said in a
voice that carried all the feeling Of
an early Christian martyr. but |
guess you would be, too. if someone
made remark to yn,i like Aunt
Sophia did to me about the President
when she knew my husband worked
around here. 1t was just another way
Of insinuating that Johns judgment
was poor, and I'm sure it's as good
as Uncle Samuels. Of course Aunt
Sophia says she never meant a thing
by 1t end that know she always has
been a Democrat. but then. if she
didn't mean anything, why say 1t to
me of all persons when she might
have known l would resent it?
John never pays any attention to
things like that and says Pm foolish
to do it. but tell him don't like TO
have my day spoiled by having some
one picking at me. ard I'm not one OF
these two-faced people who will get
mad about something and never say a
word about It. l don't mind being
sighted, rs | frequently am. ana often
suggest staying away from the FAMILY
dinners since | seem not to be badly
wanted, but mother always went and
so III continue going unless | am told
to stay away. But I notice lot OF
things people may not think | do. It's
got so when move my chair over 10
where some of the others are talking,
they don't seem nearly so lively and
kind of quit talking. So, of course, |
can't help believing they were talking
about me, can I? Or else they don't
want me to hear what is being said.
Then, maybe, l imagine it, but it
seems to me they all look relieved
when we leave early. Not that care,
but I can't think Of a thing I have
ever done to make people dislike me
or want to get rid OF me. Well, all
right. But it seems queer TO me that
someone always comes to your door
when I call you up"
And Cousin Lucy slams up the re-
ceiver with new grievance to nurse.

CLOSE TO DEATH
camping-0ut Females Endan.
, gered by Wild Animals.
Presumably That Was The Way They
Would Write Home About It,
but Here Are the Facts.

She had been out from the "old
country" for some time and Wild anil
mails aroused no fear In her In fact
fear was something she did not pos
sess and she was also very contemp-
tuous of those who were nervous or
afraid
She had started a tea house on a
mountain top In the Canadian Rockies
and two of her friends from England
had been so nuct: interested in the
descriptions of life in the West as
related in her letters that they had
agreed to come out and help her In
her venture
They were to share tent, While
she had one nearby. She gave them
comfortable military cots and thought
all was we'll, when she was recalled
by them the first night out by being
asked in fearful tones If there were
wild animals in this part of the noun
tain.
'ch, certainly" she said. They're
all about"
"But will they get into our tent?'
they asked.
"Oh, 1 don't believe so-possibly
just a little gopher or chipmunk.
Of course, if you hear Il bear you may
call me, though / hardly think you
will hear one OF see one"
Nervously the two wer left alone
and went to bed Two hours went by.
when the hardened woodSlady was
aroused by shrieks.
"Wild animals under our beds"
they called. e..Avild animals. Terrible
looking Wild animals"
Sleepy and annoyed she made her
way to their tent, her gun in hand.
Perhaps. after all. bear was around.
Well, only the female grizzlies were
dangerous and they would not be
around. Yet
"Under eur--beds. See! A whole
family of them,"
And the terrified girls shivered at
the proximity of the wild, wild ami
mails inhabiting their tent
The hardened woodslady looked un-
der the cots. To have disturbed her
sleep for this !, Furiously she turned
upon the two girls
$50 to sleep. you fools she said.
"Those are only porcupines." And
she left thein-not in the least CON-
forted or reaSSured.

At Profanity's End.

'Is there any more distressing SEN

what moths did to your last winters
overcoat?" said the man on the front
seat as he pointed to network Of
holes in the shoulder Of his coat. "This
garment was put away with full recog-
milton Of all the rules. First it Was
cleaned, then packed in clean trunk
with moth balls enough to satisfy a
flock Of hungry moths. This is how
my trust was rewarded. The worst
part Of the whole thing was that I
couldn't find a moth upon which to
vent my rage, and I've stopped swear.

That Kind of Art.

An unusually caustic critic was be-
ing shown through one of the Paris
art salons by an enthusiastic friend.
They stopped before some of the most
modern of modern art.
1t was the handiwork of a woman,
and might have been q life-like nor-
trait Of anything from sand storm
to a steam roller.
"She seems welded to her art" the
enthusiast declared. enraptured.
Eyes, and every picture she has
painted is sufficient reason for di-
yorce," was the reply.

Mr.. Claude Sanders,
New.erry, S. c.
Dear Comradc:
Just few lines to let you and
your good post know that the play
that WIS put on here by your post
has received more comments than
anything that has ever been here in
the last year and a half that | have
been here. Every one who saw the
play enjoyed it, and those who failed
to see it have expressed regrets that
they missed it.
You and your comrades came up
here like men and entertained US in
manly way. Not like number Of
other organizations who come here
with a sad and pitiful look or express
sion on their faces, and begin their
program by expressing their sympa-
thy for US, and reminding us of it
during the program and closing in the
same way.
AS rule. we have real men here,
men with ordinary intelligence, and
We do not want sympathy. We want
to be treated as other men are. That
is the way your post has treated Us,
and that is the way we desire to be
treated. We appreciate your kind
ness IN coming here and giving Us
something new, and something We
really enjoyed.
We realize we have made great
sacrifice for just and good cause,
but we don't care to be reminded of
it in a sympathetic way. That is one
reason why your show was appreciat-
ed by all who saw it.
l am native of Georgia. but l
belong to Leroy Belt Post No. Il,
Camden, S. c. l hope some time to
have the opportunity Of visiting your
post. l know You have a live post.
Again let me thank YOU and your
good comrades for your goodness and
kindness in putting on your wonder
fui show here.
Wishing YOU and your post all the
success that q comrade can wish for
others,
A Comrade,

If We would raise the price of cot
ton in South Carolina, and in the
South, we must increase the knowl-
edge of our rural people and thereby
increase their standards of living. So
long as our people are willing to ac-
cept poor homes. and poor schools in
return for their labor we will make
little progress.

EDUCATORS TO REFORM THE
LITTLE RED SCHOOLHOUSE'

New York, Aug 10.-Add to the
list Of idols smashed to smithereen5
by the efficiency Of modern science
that Quaint institutions Of American
rural life-the little red school
house now denounced by educa-
tional experts of Columbia university
as "a danger to national progress.
Experiments conducted for the past
wear in tiny school in Warren coun-
ty, y. j., have proved to DR.. FANNIE
Dunn of Teachers college, Colun-
bia. that the problems attending the
OWLS Of the cult Of the little red
school house" as DR.. Dunn calls IT.,
can be solved by the same methods
that have brought progress in teach
ing the young Of the cities "how to

Fortv-four pupils attended the typ
zeal schoolhouse in Warren county
which was seven miles from a trunk

cent of unhealthy city children. IN
the whole United States, DR.. WOOD
saws, 100000 Of the 24,ooo'ooo
school children have bodily defects
So depressing are the faults OF the
country schools, the experts say, that
much of the congestion the cities re-
suits from the inability to make
country life attractive. Efforts are
now being made through meetings at
Columbia of such educators as MISS
