Dear Children: 7 want to tell you
what a young friend of mine has
done. He realized that when his
father and mother sent him to
school they put a hardship on them
selves in two ways; first, it cost them
quite biz of money to get him suit
able clothes and then his books add
ed to the cost.
OF course, he had always had small
chores to do, and when he left these
undone to go to school, and after
school to study, why that left just
so much more work on his mother
and father to do This boy had a
real conscience, and he made Up his
mind that he'd figure out some way
to really help. He knew that both
his father and mother were so am
bilious for him to succeed in his les
sons that they would not take his
time away from his study and that
they were equally anxious about his
health, so some time had to be given
to recreation. This is the way he
figured it out. Just fifteen minutes
before each meal he gave to chop
taking out garbage. The latter, of
course, was given, if suitable to Ell
Their, chickens or pigs.
Now you wouldn't think he could
do so much in just fifteen minutes
before each meal, but he keeps plen-
ty of kindling nicely split and stack
ed and plenty of stove and fireplace
wood in the shed and in the kitchen
and there is never any disagreeable
garbage for his. mother to struggle
with. His parents agree that he
is helping a lot, learning a lot,
among other things unselfishness,
and that the exercise makes him
even healthier. I thought what he
had done might help you boys to do
the same things if you were so sit
uated.
Lovingly,

PROCRESSIVES
Line UP TEXAS
FOR LA TOILETTE

By International Labor News Service.
Dallas, Tex.-Leaders Of the La
Toilette and Wheeler forces in Texas
have ignored the internecine strife
here and gone calmly and systemat-
ically on their way. They held a
rousing state convention, nominated
their national electors and their state
executive committee, and completely
organized for the coming battle.
The progressive movement is being
launched in thirty-one districts and
organization is rapidly being push
ed in all Of the 252 counties of the
state. District chairman and organ
izers are working steadily and earn
estly at their tasks. Reports indicate
a willingness to listen and to learn.
Outlying territories are being can
vassed and work pushed among the
farmers who are feeling the hard
grind with the prices of cotton held
down by the gamblers until it has
passed out Of their hands.
Indianapolis, Ind.-A. F. Bentley,
state chairman Of the La Toilette
Wheeler ticket, in statement isued
says that the sweep for the La Fol-
lette- Wheeler ticket in Indiana is be-
yond expectations. He said the de-
mand for speakers and campaign lit
erature and other campaign work was
so great that the office was swamped
and that present finances were made
quate. AS a result he has issued an
appeal for additional funds to aid
the work in Indiana.

By l. c. MccUMBER

AS announced, "Mac" started on a
tour. And "Mac" took that tour. He
happened to travel just a little bit
farther. In fact, he went some fif-
teen hundred miles into a country
that is not met up with every day.
If it is, then the hypocrites have
nothing to say about it. Why should
the hypocrites say anything but
"hallejuh"?

teen hundred miles into country
that is not met up with every day.
If it is, then the hypocrites have
nothing to say about it. Why should
the hypocrites say anything but
"hallejuh"?
Portions Of Canada are "dry."
In passing through Toronto ques-
tions were asked of very high Off
cial as to the best place to stop for
the night Following his direction,
we arrived at a city just as terri
fic rainstorm broke, 9:15 p. m. Pre-
senting the officials card, to prove
our worthiness, we had "lubrications"
for the inner man as we'll as for the
crank case of the motor. This lubri
cation was clandestine, but winked at
by the enforcers and the people
Hallelujah!

Montreal: 11:15 p. M, Eastern
time. Two hours before the pubs"
closed. And there we were, eats and
liberty, with a portrait Of King
George looking at you, smiling his
approval upon those who were not
saying amen in the hypocrite corner.
The La Corona hotel had it's full
quota of men and women who were
spending good American dollars for
a brief respite from those who pray
for the other man but neglect them
selves-the hypocrites. Eyes, we will
send it to your room. The blue room,
yes? How many bottles ?"
Up with the sun and waiting anx-
iously for the mystic hour of 9 a. m
Why mystic? Simply that at this
talismanic hour the commissioners as
sumo their duties and free men and
women may enter, call for the brand
they desire, and depart with one
quart wrapped in very presentable
; manner. "Why cannot l have several
quarts ?" asks the citizen. "You may
have as many as you like" responds
the affable clerk, "but you cannot buy
; more than one at time. Take this
: one out to your car and come back
for another. " This we did several
: times, and found that the money we
obtained from our travellers checks
was worth par, having feasted our
eyes upon storehouse Of hallelujah!
Taking our purchased prizes to our
hotel, we arranged them to the end
that upon entry into the United
States, the hypocrites at Washington
and elsewhere would still be able to
say amen and hallelujah vociferously
and sanctimoniously. And thus, from
the domain Of King George to that OF
President Coolidge we travelled, and
once again into the land of hypo-
critics and the hallelujah vociferators.

in WATSON ELIMINATION
Politicians Think Indiana Senator's
Declaration Ranks With Henry
FOrd's PrOnOuncement.

Watson that he would not be
candidate for the presidential
nomination is classed by the poll
ticians as calculated to rebound to
the advantage of President Cool
idge to a degree second only to
the support given him by Henry
Ford.
Doesn't 1t beat all how the luck
runs President Coolidge's way"'
said a republican leader. First,
Henry Ford lrudely skaters the
Johnson hold on Michigan and dis
integrates his possible following
elsewhere by declaring for Cool
idge. Then, state committees in
several states indorse him, and
now comes the elimination of
Watson in Indiana"

It is explained by the politicians
that the most important feature
of the self elimination of Senator
Watson IS not so much that he has
refused to enter the contest, but
that his decision not to run has
unified the warning republican
factions in Indiana behind Presi-
dent Coolidge. 1t remains to be
