SEEK LIVES OF USEFULNESS

Few people are acquainted with
that unique type of girl, the American
born Chinese. She is far different
from her sisters In the Orient. AS a
rule she has made the most of her OPP
pOrtunities in America.
The Chinese have the genius to
make work a pleasure and an art,
Their student life is full of delight.
Study for them seems to be an in
stinct.
Miss Edna Cameron, who has taught
a great number of Chinese girls in
Portland (Ore) schools, recently said
that she found them honest, diligent,
fair-minded and always polite and
kind.
at would seem quite impossible fo'
them TO be unkind or to do an impo-
lite act. BY nature they are honest.

Many Chinese girls in America are

LET THE GOLDFISH DO IT
Advice to Those Who May Be
Bothered by Mosquitoes.

Have you little goIdfish--fish, not
digger-in your home?
Which same is not the title of q
Broadway unmusical comedy or of the
latest spasm from Tin Pan alley. 1t Is
a serious inquiry addressed to a suf
fering population by the state health
commissioner, DR.. Herman NJ. Biggs,
observes the New York Herald. If
little culex pipiens, homebred New
York mosquito, is what's biting you,
go get goldfish or an oil can. They
are the only known cures for the mos
quito plague, DR.. Blggs says. It's a
case of patrOniZing the Standard Oil
company or the pet store.
The doctor Is not dogmatic in advis-
ing purchase of a goldfish to catch
and eat mosquito eggs and infant mos
quitoes before they grow up and de
velop augers. Most any fish will do
minnow, tarpon, tuna, landlocked sal
mon, Squaretail trout. Goldfish are
suggested not only because they add
to the beauty Of scenes, but because
they are so affectionate, resembling
nothing so much as an Airedale.
All fish are fond Of mosquitoes as
hors d'oevres. Choice Is optional. That
is the substance of the advice to tor
tured citizens on the verge of losing
their religion by Commissioner Biggs
In a series of bulletins and health
talks.

IRON HORSE SHOW TO
BE ATTRACTION AT
THE TRI-STATE FAIR

The Fordson Agricultural and In
dustrial Tractor Show to be held in
Memphis September % to 80 in con-
nection with the Tri-State Fair,
promises to be replete with inter
est for the public. No exhibit, we
are informed by Mr.. R. H. Rust, local
Ford dealer, will be more fascinat-
ing than what is known as the cline
drive"
This device is so constructed that
the Tractor can be driven forward at
varying speeds, or guided right Or
left around sharp corners or turns, or
stopped quickly, merely by the mani
ner in which the lines are pulled.
The practical value of this device
is that it becomes possible for one
man to do the work of two men. For
instance, horse-drawn moving ma
chine may be hitched to the Fordson
Tractor. The farmer may sit on the
machine and drive this Fordson just
as he is in the habit of driving a
horse
Again, in bodybuilding work,
much machinery requires the services
Of two men as now operated. A road
scraper usually requires man on
the scraper and one to drive-so with
man graders. With the Line drive"
and the Fordson this work can all
be done by one man.
Mr.. Rust further states between
sixty and seventy manufacturers of
national reputation from half the
states in the Union, will exhibit al
| this Exposition.

things that it will include:
Sixteen rows of fruited stalks show
ing leading varieties; cotton seed with
all its by-products, including lint, oil,
hull, meal, cake and their by-products;
the stalk and its by-products, such as
linoleum, roofing, building board and
great variety of other articles; a full
exhibit of the life, history habits and
methods of control of the boil weevil;
a display tracing cotton lint through
ell the processes of manufacture; gov
eminent samples showing length and
grade of staple, and many other points.
The exhibit is being collected under
direction of G. w. Watson of the Mem.

Term "Cabaret" Is Old.

"Cabarets' has come to be regarded
as aairec,nt: addition to the. English
language--a word which, from its
form and pronunciation, is evidently
French.
As II matter Of fact, the term was
originally Of Gallo origin, but it is
by no means modern. having been
widely used In England during the
Sixteenth century us synonym for
tavern. There was nothing musical
about the cabarets of this period. aud
the only amusement they afforded
was that which the travellers fur
nished.
While used by Bramhal in one Of
his works published In 1866, 1t passeu
out Of the language soon after that
time and did not return until about
the middle of the Eighteenth century.
At this time. however, its stay was
brief and it's popularity limited and.
not until the dancing craze struck the
world a few years ago, was it resur
rected In its present sense.
