THE WHITE GOAT.

NANCY and Nick stumbled out of
y the cave into daylight. The red
feather had knocked the Cloth of
Dreams from their hands to the floor,
where its two parts. instantly joined
into one, as it had been before
Twelve Toes the Sorcerer cut it.
Then the red feather jumped into
Nick's pocket At the same time the
magic paper slipped from the clutch
of the dragon Twelve Toes, it was,
you know and followed the red
feather.
But before the paper disappeared
into his pocket Nick saw some words
written in purple ink, so he turned
his back and peeped at it cautiously.
1t said, when the dragon changes
his form you and Nancy must watch
your chance and grab the Green
Shoes"
He put it into his pocket again and
stepped out Of the cave just in time
to see great puff of black smoke.
And as it disappeared there slowly
took form white goat with black
head and gold knobs on the ends OF

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY.

Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of God. - Matthew
4:4.
1t is generally the idle who COM
plain that they cannot find time to
do that which they fancy they ,5ish
In truth, people can generally find
time to do what they choose to do;
ii is not really the time but the will
that is wanting. The advantage OF
leisure is mainly that we have the
power of choosing our own work; not
certainly that it confers any priv
lege of idleness.-Sir John Lubbock.

A NEW FEATURE TO BE ADDED
FOR OUR READERS EACH
WEEK

Beginning in q week or so The
Herald will add a new department
which we believe will be appreciated
by a large per cent of our readers.
This new feature will appear each
week and will be devoted to radio
instructions, the economical installa-
tion of home outfits and the latest
and most valuable information re-
iating to this wonderful new science.
There is hardly a state in the
Union that has not already from
10000 upwards of home radio in
stallations. Farmers are using II 10
secure the latest daily market infor-
nation and through It people in ev-
en- the remotest localities are listen
ing to grand opera and other forms
OF entertainment being given In
Kansas City, Chicago, Denver. st.
Louis, Minneapolis. Wichita or any
the other large cities. The possi-
bilities seem unlimited!
Boys, get busy-read up on this
stuff" install a home outfit and
set out on your front porch this
summer (and in your living room
next winter) and take in" some OF
the things you cannot afford to &c
to the cities to hear,
Watch for the initial article. and
each week cut them out and paste
them in a scrap book for future ref
erence.

keen insight into the problems that
are facing the American home today,
aud her conferences on child training
and home problems are especially in
teresting.
For seven years Mrs. Yost was
supervisor of primary education in the
city schools of San Francisco, and
for thirteen years member OF the
faculty of the Washington State Nor
NAL School at Cheney, Washington
During this time she was frequently
called on to assist in educational cam
paigns over the entire Pacific coast.
In this work she was closely asso-
ciated with Mrs. Josephine Corliss
Preston, one of the foremost women
educators in the United States.
In addition to her conferences with
the women of this city, Mrs. Yost
will take an important part in the
program that will be carried on in
the schools.

BRIDGEWATER AND RENFROW
ASK REELECTION

Sheriff II. 3. Bridgewater an
nounces his candidacy this week for
reelection for sheriff of Beaver
county.
J. w. Renfrow is asking for re-
election for assessor.
Both candidates are Democrats,
They have served the people of Bea-
yer county the past term, and we
believe that they have given general
satisfaction. Our only regret is
that they are not Republicans but
the G.. o. p can't hope to corner all
the good timber. We think we are
broad enough to recognize true
worth and merit, even in one of
opposite political faith, and, while
we are right here to say that the
Republicans have plenty of good
men and women fully competent and
qualified to fill any and all public
offices and with a Republican ma
jority in the county, we should
elect the entire ticket, yet If eff
cient Republican candidates cannot
be persuaded to make the race for
the local county offices, we say
vote for efficiency, economy, con-
sistent with necessary progress and
for the best man or woman for the
job, regardless of political affilia-
tion.
