herself must have been far from
lovely when she sneezed. We
speak as one but lately recovered
from a cold in the head and though
our pretensions aim neither at
dignity nor beauty, We have, as it.
were, glimpsed in our own disc
comfort the designs of providence.
There are times when it is nee
essary that the fortunate, for
i their souls welfare, should be
chastened. And there are times
when the unfortunate, that they
may cease to be sorry for them
selves, are visited by an aff1iction
passing all bounds. 1t was David
Harum, we believe, who. said that
reasonable amount of feas was
good for a dog, since they kept
him from brooding over his canine
condition. So it would seem to be
with colds in the head. They are
sternly providential.
We have alluded to the fair, the
comedy Helen of the walled town
of Troy, since for ages her tradi-t
ton has been that Of extraordi-
narily compelling beauty and
charm. Undoubtedly her con-
quests wrought in Helen a gentle
conceit, sure belief in the, irwin
cibility Of mere loneliness. She
dropped an eyelash and they were
dazzled to delirium. She dimpled
and they fell to fighting with jage-
Inns and swords. The curve of her
soft cheek was havoc, and her de-
murest glance was devastation.
And Nature said, "The girl grows
too sure of herself and as Helen
played at bean-bag in the tagged
courtyard the wise old mother
babe a shreWd little breeze en-
brace her. Then Helen sneezed
and went indoors. and in the NOR
ming kept to her room refusing all
visitors. All, had they glimpsed
her countenance that day the cap
tains Of a thousand ships should
have gone into the. export lumber
trade.
There is, Of course, no way of
knowing to a certainty, but j. ap-
pears altogether probable thai O.

Topeka Capital
| GIRL SCOUTS AND COOKING
without some jusihcatlon that
the modern girl is drifting away
from her traditional work as a
homemaker. Predictions are free
| ly made that another generation
will witness the passing of the
real home, with families merely
having rooms in which to sleep,
and with community kitchens to re
| lieve the women Of home work.
/ 1t is gratifying to find that no
such thought is entertained by the
great organization Of the Girl
Scouts.
Last year almost 1000 girls
successfully passed their tests as
cooks, and among the IS merit
badges that are awarded, the high
| est goes to those who prove them
selves superior in domestic science.
This is a splendid showing for the
| Girl Scouts, who are not only TAX
| ing their members back to Nature
and Strengthening their bodies
through wholesome outdoor exer-
else, but are holding them to the
old virtues for which no satisfact,
ory substitute has ever been sug-
gested New York Evening World.
SUPERIOR COUNTRY PUPILS
It seems IT, have been settled
/ that city children are healthier
than country children, but if we
can believe the federal bureau of
education, country children are
smarter than their brothers and
sisters in the cities. A study OF
the records of 10000 children in
every state of the Union estab-
lished the fact that farm children
make better progress than other
Ichildren through high school"
This superiority they owe to the
country girls, who do better than
the country boys and bring up the
average. Unless" says the re-
port, 1--WE concede remarkable sex
differences of the ability between
farm boys and girls, we must a.
bandon the ancient myth that farm
stock is decaying and that all the
brains have migrated to the cit
less
Just what this superiority of
country children involves is NOT
clear, but the bureau concludes
that "we need not fear to offer
to country children an unbiased
liberal education and permit, even
encourage those so minded and
fitted to seek opportunity wherever
| it beckons, whether it be upon the
farm, in the professions or trades. :"
| Assuming the correctness of the
bureaus finding, we face the fact
that this superiority of the country
children prevails in spite of the
tremendous drafts the cities have
made upon the farms. A very
large number of city men of con-
spicious success were country born.
They migrated when young, and
their children are counted among
the city children. One would say
off-hand that they were the most
ambitious and the most capable
Of the young men of the farms.
Yet in spite of this drain the
country continues to breed more
boys and girls who have the abil-
ity to make their marks in the
urban centers. If that is one OF
the functions of the country it
is still performing it successfully.

Governor Arthur M. Hyde of Miss

use of the hall of the House of
Representatives in the State Capt.

took public stand against the
principles of the hooded organiza-

The executive laid down the rule
that all meetings of citizens in the

SUBSIDIES NOT
APPROVED BY
COMMISSION

Dublin, July Ia. CA. PD-The
commission of inquiry into Irish
agriculture, in its final report,
finds serious depression in farm
ing. The farmer, the report de-
clares, receives for his produce 40
percent higher than before the war,
but his cost of living has risen by
80 percent and his trade expenses
in some cases by over 100 percent.
Education and organization are
the two chief remedies suggested
by the commission, and the state
is urged to devote considerable
sums to these purposes. The COM
mission is opposed to subsidies or
bcunties, which in an agricultural
country would, they say, simply
mean transferring the money from
one pocket of the farmer to the
other. Reduction Of railway
freights and development of water
transport are recommended.

Wheat as rule has fine

KING BORIS
SELLSFARM

Plovdiv, Bulgaria, July IA. ca. P.)
"A quarrel between the royal house
of Bulgaria and the villagers of
Mechkur, near this city, has been
settled after a quarter Of century,
and King Boris has been bombarded
with kilograms from the villagers
thanking him for his generosity in
settling the dispute.
Mechkur is an island in the Mar
lisa, close to the village of the same
name. ExKing Ferdinand, King
Boris father, acquired it by purchase
and used it first as game preserve
and later as a model farm. 1t is

The villagers never have reconoiled
themselves to ownership of the island
by the king. When Boris assembled
the throne after the abdication of
Ferdinand at the end Of the world
war, they approached him with a
proposal that he sell it to their COM
mune.
The last phase of the negotiations
was reached the other day when the
king fixed the price on a purely
nominal basis, and the deed was
transferred to the mayor and village
council. .NHn0

"LIGHTNIN', the play that has
electrified the theatrical world with
its run of three years in New York
and nearly two years in Chicago,
will be presented at the Auditorium
Wednesday,
The record smasher will be intro
duced here by special all-star cast
headed by Thomas jefferson, son of
Joseph Jefferson, in the role of
Lightnin' Bill Jones. 1t was organic
ed especially for engagements IN De
troit, Kansas City, st. Louis and 9th
er important cities. The production
has been staged by Winchell Smith
f, and like the other Golden comedy
successes with which his name has
been associated, "Lightnn'" is play
of laughs and heart throbs, intro
ducing honest hearted, red blooded
folks who really exist in everyday
life.
Not since the days of the elder JEFF
fersons rip Van Winkle' has the
American stage known such tender
| and sympathetic character as Light
| MIN Bill Jones perversely nicknamed
because he never moves fast. Broad
| way audiences alternately laughed
and wept with the eccentric old
soldier who is so human and lovable,
even in his faults.
Bills wife and adopted daughter
run a hotel on the state line between
California and Nevada. The line
runs through the lobby. The Nevada
portion is filled with women guests
who are establishing a legal resi-
dence for the purpose of obtaining

about the place and tells yarns which
give him the reputation of being the
glibbest liar in the country. He

he has never broken promise.
Bills adopted daughter has been
working in a lawyers office in San
Francisco and her employer. under
the guise, of generosity, has persuad-
ed Mrs. Jones to sell the hotel to a
corporation, accepting stock on pay
ment. The old man is about to af-
fix his signature, when he is warned
of fraud by young neighbor and
friend, John Marvin. In burst of
temper. Mrs. Jones orders Bill to
leave. Six months later she is disclos-
ed in court suing for divorce.
The courtroom scene is rich in
humor and pathos. The judge grants
a divorce to an attractive young
vaudeville actress whom he, the
judge, weds few hours later. Bill
Jones is in court as witness in a
lumber suit and learns for the first
time of the divorce suit against HIM
self. Adroit cross examination by
Bill and his lawyer friend confrses
the star witness and the scheme to
get the hotel is exposed Bills wife
begs for forgiveness and Bill, always
long on forgiveness, is easily per-
suaded, particularly as it doesn' t
cost any physical effort.
