SCHOOL cHiLDREN.s THRIFT


In several towns and cities les

encouraged, and regular reports OF
savings made to the teachers, Some
rather curious results are being tabt-

more than 1000 pupils are, saving
something each month, Ont Of that
number the high school, contributes
400. Bat the reports show that the
children In the lower grades are
greater savers than the high school
pupils, and the colored pupils have
the higest percentage OF money-sav-
ers. The records kept are not OF the
amount saved, but Of the pupils who
save anything. In some OF the coll
cred schools the percentage Is as
high as So, while the number In the
high school is only %, the lowest Of

These facts raise some interesting
questions. II would be supposed that

GETTING RICH

When Sam Mccullough landed
here in 1880 he had the magnificent
sum OF 40 cents left after paying for
his nights lodging. He got Job
on a farm at $40 per month. and
was mighty glad to get 1t. After
spending 4 few months at this job.
he hired out to another fellow at
S13 per month, and at the end Of six
months time was given right good
horse for his services. Then he and
his brothers, Davis and Robert,
started farming on their own hook.
Today Sam owns 400 or 500 acres Of
good bottom land, but he knows how
he got it.---Solomon Tribune. :.
And Sam will probably tell you
how he got it--by hard work and
shrewd management, which is the
way most Kansas folks got whatever
they have. Hundreds Of men came
to Kansas with even less than Sam
and are now also rich. This has
been the land Of promise for those
who lived up to their opportunities.

has been raised on all sides, VIII
women accept these new knitted
things? Not only has this question
been raised because of their unusual

choosing the right hat. DO you knov
that very many women DO this thing
wrong2 While one hat may be quite
perfect for the country the same one
will not do At all for the city streets.
Then when, they come to selecting a
sport hat for city wear. that is where
the whole dlficulty arises. They are
either too fancy or too plain about It.
And, IL you have any decisions about
this sort of hat being Of the mex
pensive variety, why. there ID where
you are doomed to disappointment.
They are among the most expensive Of
hats. And because of their tailored
outlines their shapes have to be most
artlsticaIy adjusted before they can
be considered to be exactly suitable.
Must Be suited to Faos.
The little round, turned-back
brimmed hats are perhaps the most.
universally becoming. But even those
must be adjusted well and suited to
the. face You see there is-the most
awful chance with hat ef,this char
acter' Of making the face sink into in
signifeahce, or, onithe other hand Of
making 1t stand out as much too large
unit for any kind Of proportion with
the rest Of the figure. It II a delicate
little trick and a point that any wom-
an will do well to consider at length
before making up her mind to a fnal
selection.
For summer the ieghorns will again
be as popular as. they were last sea-
son, especially those that turn away
from the face at front, and either turn
down at back or repeat the upward
fare at that angle.
There are many hats maze Of duvc-
tyn and tweed, and these are draped
most artistically to suit the faces that
wear them. But the news from Paris
and the general tendency right here IL
for blocked straws or felts to be wern
now with sport suits and all the way
