You know how it is. You carry cat IN

but the cat comes back. It's home to the cat.
Usually the cat beats the carrier back-especlally
If it's shrewd, keen cat that likes the place and
has always found good housing there.
Isn't the cat likely to go back home where the
mousing was good?

GOVERNMENT MATERNAL1sM

The federal government, i'll pur-
Stance of its ambition to teach
the farmer how to farm, has maui
aged to work off with some de
gree OF success the theories of the
white collar farmers who sit unde.-
the electric fans in the department
of agriculture at Washington. Bar
there is room to doubt that the farm
ers' wives will take so kindly to the
movement now on foot to have the
department tell them how to run
their farm homes, thinks The Hous-
ton Post. The farmers wife who
works from stump to stindowl
year in and. year out, who is com
PEELED to know all the little ways
of economizing and of producing
extra spending money. is not apt
to concede that she needs any advice
from a spinstcr at the mahogany
desk.
She is apt to think that she knows
as much about what Willie and
Mary should wear in tn. potato
patch, or at school as does the gov
eminent at Washington, as repre-
scntcd by the woman who lives in

herself as good judge of a wash.
ing machine as women OF the bureau,
who patronizc the steam laundry.
And as for teaching Mrs. Farmer
how to arrange her kitchen, the
lady who all her life has been pre-
pairing country ham, fried chicken
and other farm delicacics likely as
not knows as much about con
venient arrangement, as til. bureau
employe who dimes at the cafeteria.
A few years ago. before government
functions were made to include the
regulation of the activities of the
people in their private lives, this
would have appeared foolish or in
credible, Since even maternity has
been brought under the supervision
OF the burcaucrats at the capital,
however, one need not be surprised
to find government agents meddlns
in the kitchen, in the wash room,
or anywhere else.
The reaction OF the practical farm
or to all this propaganda and re-
gulation from Washington has been
to demand dirt farmer at the
head Of the bureau. If the women
were to demand tina. only mothers
and practical farm housewives pass
Out the advice, it might be worth
more. and would surely be more ac-
ceptablc. But, in the meantime,
what's the use of the farmer or
his wife knowing anything about
their own business, il somebody in
Washing on is to tell then what

ANNUAL EXAMINATION
FOR TROUBLE SPOTS

Human bodies, like automobiles,
need annual examination for trouble
spots, warns the Washington Dept.
OF Health which has joined in the
national campaign for "a health
examination on your birthday.
Washington state hopes to take the
lead in the national campaign to
foster ten million examinations be-
fore July a, 1924.
Twelve hundred and fifty physi-
clans in the state have been supplied
with the health examination form,
designed by the American Medical
Association, as the first step in the
state work, The County Medical
Societies will be asked to form COM
mittccs to take up this work from
medical standpoint in the various
communities according to DR.. Paul
A. Turner, State Health Director.
More than eight million dollars
in human lives was lost last year
in this state from preventable di-
seases alone and this figure does
not include homocides, suicides, or
those who died from, accidents.
No better birthday present could be
given than doctors examination,

A sample box Of Arkansas Black

the McGlothlen ranch, have been on
exhibition at the Athow pharmacy
this week. The apples are very
large, the coloring is perfect, and
the flavor is in keeping with the
reputation of these famous varieties.
Every apple thus far grown in the
Early Fruit Belt is striking re-
futation OF the silly yearn, originated
by envious fruit districts, that this
region produces its fruit SO carly
that it is unable to produce COM
mercial apples.
