she did not feel rested. She went to
the beach alone and the holiday

Just your fun to 1t and when 1t rains
play some quiet indoor games that
will amuse you and help o to forget
your disappointment. Here are two
designed for just such an afternoon or
evening when you and your friends
are sitting about not knowing just
what you want to dc. The first Is
called Personal conundrums. A leader
is chosen and this boy or girl com
pares one of the players with an In
animate object-furniture, an article
of food or dress, for example:
The leader says: "Why Is Mary Ann
like this table?
No. l says: Because she is steady"
No. 2 says: Because she is pol
ished."
No. 8 says: Because she can hold
many dishes"
No. 4 says: Because her complexion
is dark"
No. s says: Because she is always
round" etc.
The other game Is called Cities.
Each of the players is given a pencil
and a sheet of paper and told to write
at the top the name of the city or
town in which he or she was born.
Fifteen minutes time Is then allowed
for ell to write a sentence suggestive
or descriptive OF the city or town
which each has written on the top of
the paper. The words in the SEN
tence must begin with the letters COM
posing the name of the city or town
in consecutive order. For example:

curing. We appreciate the Sentinel
coming as 1t does from Tallahatchie

the state from us. The Brown broth

fact they get up three papers in one.

Mr.. Lane became candidate as a
result OF insistent demands of friends
and admirers in all parts of the Dis
trict. Many of them had watched
with enthusiastic interest his bril-
| liant record in the Mississippi Legis-
lature, first as Senator, and later as
Representative. Many important
committee assignments brought Mr..
Lane into very active service for
this state, and his legislative record
is one along constructive and pro-
gressive lines. His friends predict
that he will be nominated in the
August primaries and that he will
take TO the Supreme Court a wealth
of ability and Judgement that will
reflect upon himself, the state and
his district.
The Smith County Reformer, Of

Lanes candidacy says in part:

From his last shot we take the para

hour. President j. G. FAINT OF the

tiers and several speakers we're put
on. The first was lady from
Memphis who has endowed chair
in the school for Mothers welfare

of training for the young ladies and
she gave talk explaining her high
motives ia promoting this great in
terest. Others who spoke were
G. +. j. Mooney of the Memphis

and gave great hunks of advice.

finally wind up. The most sensi.
bic and perhaps the outstanding
happy speech Of the occasion was
the one delivered by Albert Ander-
son of the Southern Sentinel. pub
lished at Ripley, county seat of
Tippah county, Miss. Albert is
one of those highly gifted by ma

and can always mount to any occa-
sion and the instant he begins to
speak, his voice goes off with such
a musical boom to it that some
what like Bryan. the audience
gives immediate response and
klndllng interest. Albert was at
has best this evening, spoke only
three or four minutes, but what he
said Was to the point and yet said
in way which barred his heart as
