N7ATTERSON, La, June IL
r. l have given up fame for
IL happiness.
No longer do I see my name in
the lights of Broadway or Main
Street. The millions who once
watched my acting have, perhaps.
largely forgotten me.
Through trains do not stop at
the town where now I live-they
roar past, Hollywood bound, and
l have no regrets.
But I am playing my greatest
role. the greatest role in any wo-
mans life. I play to an audience
of one-my husband-in a theater,
which is my home.
Raises Chickens
Less than six years ago we were
married and l retired to this home
find happiness in raising
chickens, in working among my
flowers, in raising dogs and at
tending to other duties so dear to
a wOman's heart. l believe 1
could find similar happiness if
had to work hard in a smaller
home.
My only regret is that I know
SO little, ! wish, when a girl I had
learned all the duties of a house
wife. Sometimes 1 send the serv-
ants away just TO see what a good
time l can have. And while the
food may be p little hard on Mr..
Williams, l certainly enjoy myself If.
one day on a movie lot pro-
ducing a big picture is more
enerYating, requires greater exer-
tion and takes greater toll Of
physical and mental stamina than
weeks Of toll as d housewife.
Home More Beautiful
You never can be your natural
self. You sometimes have to por-
tray characters that are not pleas
ing to your sensibllities. There is
never any rest.
In the home a woman's work is
a labor Of love. Her ambition is
to please those who surround her.
No work seems hard There are
no late hours. except on special oc-
casions.
The construction of a home is
more beautiful than any scenery
ever painted. 1t is something real
A picture at best lasts only a few
years, but what re do in the home
goes on and on.
Her Own Flowers
In the pictures and on the stage
l received many flowers. but they
usually were bought from florists.
Here at home / raise my own
flowers.
Ny pets, growing from tiny
things TO maturity, also feel TO be
part of me- I see my husband
and my friends happy.
OF course, If a girl wants to
slave, II she wants TO suffer the
pangs Of ambition, if she wants TO
fight temptations, if she has gen
ius. beauty, money TO be independ-
ent and the stage and movies call
her, l say give it a trial.
But always look to the future,
because some day In the life OF
every woman the happiness of
home will loom and she should be
ready to go.

HOME SEEKERS ENTER AUTAUGA
Prattville, County Seat, Is Booming; Great Build
 ing Era In Progress

F PRATTvILLE, Ala, Oct. 1.-The subdivision land sale known as the Thomas addition proved to be quite success, selling 110 lots in two days.

GAME PLENTIFUL
 QUINN REPORTS
(Continued From Page One)

tCOntlnuea From rage OhcJ public sentiment in favor of conserva- tion.
 "I have spent a great deal of my time in the field holding meetings and waging a campaign of education through the press of the state, and far-reaching results are now on the horizon.
 Game and fish protective associa- tions are being formed in all the coun- ties of the state and state conserva- tion association has been organized through which the county units will be- come affiliated. Then a uniform pro- gram will be launched, and the sports men, conservationists and men and women in all walks of life will have part in helping to carry it out;
 "While the number of convictions which I have been able to obtain dur ing the past fiscal year is highly grat- flying to me, the number of violations which have been prevented from Oc' curing is of more importance.
 Game Plentiful
 "As n result of enforcement and pre- yention, reports come from every coun- ty in the state that game of all kinds is more plentiful this year than for a number of years past.
 "For the fiscal year ending Septem- Der 30, 1924, there were approxlmately 13.OOO more hunting licenses sold than during the previous year. This does not mean that there was an increase m the number of guns afield, but that ap' proximately that number .Ocured hunt ;nO licenses. who h. never done so be- fore. Information collected by me from over the state indicates, in fact, that there were fewer hunters ln the tleld last year than the year before.
 "I have called your attention to the fact that we have an increase Tn resi- dent game birds this rear in Alabama This refers especially to quail and tur' keys. Often we think of the depart ment's activities, as relates to the blr0 life of the state, being solely to the conservation and protection or game birds. And while we are concentratlht our efforts to a greater or lesser degre' along this line, yet it must not be TOT gotten that all song and insectivorou' birds must be protected as well.
 Value Of Birds
 Insect eating birds are of tremen dous economic value to agriculture Farmers of this generation can remem Der when practically the only insee nest with which they had to cope wal inc notato bug, or beetle. Today ther' is isl not a crop of garden, field or orchart thot is not attacked by some insect pest There was a time in the history of az S;cnIture in Alabama when insectivOrou' birds were sufficiently plentiful to holt in check insects that would deVastat' agricultural crops. Today the insectiv orous bird life of the state has so dimln ished till twenty cents out or ever; M dollars worth of produce of orchard field and garden is absolutely los through insect devastation, and this i, snite of hundreds of thousands of dol lars spent for man-made materials s,s.os, |, hold them in check. It is absolutel! necessary, therefore, that we give ou beneficial non-game birds an opportu nity to increase in so far as possible"
