There is a phase Of protection that

a woman's life quite like shopping"
Aunt Ina, who had returned with
three trunks filled with French lux
uries, agreed. Aunt Alive continued:
Men do not know how fascinating
it is. Marketing may be a drudge, but
shopping is a delight. The great de-
partment stores in our large cities are
the most seductive places on earth.
First there is the appeal of advertise
nents of about everything in about
very store below cost And how
women fall for these bargains We
10 not stop to consider that if there
are actual reductions and below cost
sales there must be some tremendous
profits to more than balance them.
because of the millions and millions
If capital invested in these stores and
the other millions spent in advertising

hey really bargains? Why, we are
oil that the profits on imported wares
run from 100 to 1000. per cent. The
thoughtless woman who buys the i'm
ported hose or gloves or dress pattern
title realizes that she may be contrib
uting towards her husbands or sons
or daughters idleness. We do not
'ealize what the continued buying of
foreign-made goods may mean. We do
not stop to consider that every dollars
worth. every hundred dollars worth,
every thousand dollars worth, every
million dollars worth of imported
goods that are bought displaces just
that amount of American goods a nd
deprives our working men and women
Of just so much wages. Combine the
words imported and reduced and the
bargain becomes irresistible.
And so we must be protected
against out own acts, \ protective tar
if is a national safeguard. II directly
and indirectly protects us all. 1t pro-
notes opportunity, it safeguards every

ness. We need protection TO enable US
to buy our homes; we need protection
TO enable us to furnish them and
maintain them. Free trade is not a
home builder and our homes are the
basis of our fine manhood and woman
hood and childhood. The only way to
elevate the rest of mankind is to main
tain our own high standard and incite

Following are the official averages
of the Maysville club as compiled by
]. A. Estes the league statistician and
include the game Of July 81. The two
games of Saturday and Sunday with
Lexington if included would have
tendency to increase these figures for

were registered in these games. The
Cards seem unable to improve their
hitting position and are considerable

CLUBS TO BE
ORGANIZED FOR
FARM WOMEN
Effort Is Being Made BY College Of
Agriculture Experts TO Aid
the Kentucky Farm

Lexington. Ky. Definite plans
whereby better methods OF home max
ing can be presented to Kentucky farm
wome nand girls during the coming
year by the organization OF community
and county clubs are being worked out
by home demonstration specialists OF
the College OF Agriculture, It has been
announced by Miss Mary May Miller,
field agent in foods.
Organization OF the clubs in coun-
ties having home demonstration
agents Is scheduled to start in Sep
TENDER while the programs OF work
which will be selected by the various
organizations are expected to get I'M
der way early in October.
Nine series OF important home sub
jects will be presented TO the clubs
from which each club will select its
particular line OF work for the coming
year The nine series will include one
each In foods, textiles and clothing,
N"''u N"AS' booilu anu SdulldllO0, gar
dening, home improvement, poultry.
nome management and clothing effic-
iency. Detailed phases Of each OF these
subjects will be outlined for study
with the idea OF furnishing material
for an entire years work. The pro-
gram in foods, for instance, will in
clude study OF fruits and vegetables,
baking in the home, meals for the fam
lily, the school lunch, dairy products
and meat in the home. A similar d.
vision of subjects will be made in each
of the other eight series.
1t Is expected that a number OF en-
thusiastic women's clubs will result
from the new plan. A small number OF
interested workers in each club rather
than merely large memberships will
be the aim fthe movement to stimu-
late interest in better home making
and put the best methods of home
management into practice. It is hoped
that as many az five strong clubs can
be organized in each OF the &c coun-
ties that have dome demonstration
agent at the present time.

UNCLE TED'S
BEDTIME STORIES.

Excitement was rife in the house
hold. Uncle Ted had just received
radiogram informing him that his Sis
ter would arrive in New York in a few
days, after long visit abroad. She
expressed the hope that he might meet
her at the dock He decided he would
do so. and started to pack his grip.
oh, Uncle Ted, can't we go too?"
exclaimed Ruth and Jack in unison.
Mother was astounded at the question,
but after bordering a moment Uncle
Ted replied: "Why not? 1t is time you
saw something of your country and its
great metropolis, and Ill tell you what
we will do: We will visit Washington
on the way back home and you can put
in few DAVIS at the National Capital
and see all the sights
There was an ecstacy OF delight and
Uncle Ted was smothered by legs and
arms and sweet young bodies. Mother
had a hundred objections to make,
each one nipped in the bud, and three
hours later a starchy little girl, a
cocky little boy, and a kindly man

the railroad strike would not leave
them strander on the prairies. They
arrived in New York in due time, Met
Aunt Ina. and soon proceeded to
Washington. Aunt Ina was a pro-
gressive woman, and her first desire
was to meet the Lady from Oklahoma,
Representative Alice Robertson, affec-
tionately known TO Congress as Aunt
Alice"
The latch-string of Aunt Alice's Of
fee hangs outside and it was no trou-
BILE at all to secure a shat with her.
She had just completed an address
which she was to present in the
House next day, and since Aunt Ina,
who had become somewhat influenced
by foreign ideas, had criticised the
Republican tariff bill, Aunt Alice took
occasion to set her right while the
children listened intently to what she
had to say:
when l was a young girl became
stenographer to a commission sent to
Indian Territory to make treaty with
The Cherokees. The chairman of the
commission, Southern born and bred,
had been . major general and prom
nent in our diplomatic service. Studies
Of labor conditions and questions of
American protectio nand foreign free
trade had been a passion with him
From him l first learne dthat Amer
ica's battles, Americas victory, Amer
'ca's lasting freedom and prosperity
lay in protection. He was insistent
that Americas greatest warfare was
to be for her homes, to keep her people
above the horrors Of foreign free-trade
laborers. From that time free trade
and protection have been my constant
study, not from the standpoint of a
iawmaker but of a plain American
woman. There is no argument that l
have ever found favoring free trade
that has not been completely demcl
shed in consideration. II we had be-
fore us a health chart of American
prosperity - such a chart as is made
for hospital patients, and you could
follow with me the up and down wav-
ering line OF depression and prosper
ity, it would startle you to see how
this line has followed protective tar
if.
There is in the heatr of woman,
especially the woman who has had the
conceded duty, always, of caring for
the family and expanding the support
provided by man, the protector. keen
